1848 Paris
"There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear..." -- Buffalo Springfield, 1967
1968 Chicago
2011 Cairo
They say it's a class rebellion, a youth revolution, spreading through the Arab world, demanding an end to autocratic regimes, a clean up of corruption, democracy, social and economic justice, freedom of conscience, dignity, justice.
Europe was wracked with revolutions -- all of which were put down more or less brutally -- in 1848, driven by weariness at rotting autocracy, rising class consciousness, the ruinous results of nascent capitalism and the industrial revolution, starvation arising from crop failures, and many other factors. The Revolutions of 1848 were not a success for the most part, but they laid the groundwork for the revolutions and upheavals to come and gave rise, most notably, to "The Communist Manifesto," which was to become the central revolutionary organizing document for the 20th Century.
1968 saw youth rebellions all over the world as the halls of power shuddered, while in China, where the rebellious spirit was as strong as anywhere else, Mao channeled that energy to consolidate his own revolution through the "Cultural Revolution." The rest of the rebellions of 1968 were put down more or less harshly by the powers that be as well.
Now we're seeing uprisings and rebellions throughout most of the Arab world, but also across much of Europe -- including Britain. We don't hear so much about the rebellions against economic austerity sweeping Europe, but they are happening just the same.
Economic, social, legal and political injustice are the driving forces of these uprisings. They are motivated by the ruinous economic policies adopted by governments against the will of the People, and by the intrinsic injustice of governments that serve the interests of high and the mighty at the expense of workers, the elderly and the infirm.
Is consciousness rising in the United States? It would be nice to think so. Signs remain mixed at best.

ORLANDO (CBS4) – Casey Anthony "failed to protect her child from harm," according to a new report by the Florida Department of Children and Families.
The 12-page DCF report is the final report on 2-year-old Caylee Anthony's death. It recaps the circumstances surrounding the toddler's disappearance, death and multi-year investigation into the case.
The report says Casey Anthony failed to protect Caylee and that the failure interfered with the law enforcement investigation and efforts to find the child.
"It is the conclusion of the Department of Children and Families that [Casey Anthony] failed to protect her child from harm either through her actions or lack of actions, which tragically resulted in the child's untimely death," the investigation's report states.
An agency spokesman says the report does not accuse Anthony of killing her daughter.
Read: Casey Anthony Final DCF Report
According to the Orlando Sentinel, DCF spokeswoman Carrie Hoeppner said the state agency's probe, which ended this week, was not a criminal investigation. The conclusions were submitted to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, but they will not result in any charges against Casey Anthony.
A jury acquitted Anthony in Caylee's death. She was released from jail and has dropped from public sight.
A judge ordered her to return to Florida to serve probation on unrelated check fraud charges. Her lawyers appealed and another judge is expected to rule whether Anthony must follow that order.

Duh ? Then again she wwent on trial and was acquitted, close the case gracefully DCF, there's not much else to say about it other than acquitted.
Hopefully, this won't interfere with Casey's upcoming book.
cAYLEE DID NOT DROWN IN A POOL,. There was 0000 proof of that story, except for Biaz,s fairy tale story…The proff was Caylee was chororformed then tripled bagged and the dumped in the woods by Casey to rot..There was science and the dogs to prove that evidence…I think i would believe science first, before a fairyt ale story that biaz made up….
Wow. The findings in that report are …BRILLIANT. Thank you very much Captain Obvious. Another bureaucrat pushes papers around their desk at the taxpayers expense.

text: We study counter-current imbibition, where a strongly wetting phase ( water) displaces non-wetting phase spontaneously under the influence of capillary forces such that the non-wetting phase moves in the opposite direction to the water. We use an approximate analytical approach to derive an expression for saturation profile when the viscosity of the non-wetting phase is non-negligible. This makes the approach applicable to water flooding in hydrocarbon reservoirs, or the displacement of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) by water. We find the recovery of non-wetting phase as a function of time for one-dimensional flow. We compare our predictions with experimental results in the literature. Our formulation reproduces experimental data accurately and is superior to previously proposed empirical models.

We came home in time for Grant to mow the lawn, Noah to get some play in and the Bean specifically asked to help me make lunch and prep up tonight's dinner of Clam Chowder Casserole. She makes me smile - she was so proud of herself. We put together some english muffin pizzas and she even made everyone's lunch plate and set the table. Plus the only reason that everyone enjoyed dinner so much tonight must be due to the care and diligence Kayla showed in putting it all together. I had picked this recipe trying to get *some* seafood in for my Bean this week, though New Hampshire has very little actual coastline and fishing is not a major industry for the state. Plus we've tried lots of different types of chowder so this was something different and unique. Easy enough for the Bean to do pretty much all by herself and thumbs up all around. Score!
We got in some library time this afternoon since the kiddos had officially finished up their summer reading logs. They picked out their prizes and some new books and were happy. I snagged a copy of "Catching Fire" for Grant and I to watch tonight, so the adults were all good, too :) (I also grabbed the latest JD Robb, Stuart Woods and James Patterson so I was even happier)
The storms threatened (and eventually descended) this afternoon and Grant asked the kids if they'd like to go see a movie. So off to Mr. Sherman and Peabody they went while I ran a few errands and then start working to organize my crafting storage area in the playroom a bit. We are in it all the time and stuff just keeps getting shoved back on the shelf making it difficult to know what we even have! So I was a happy Mama to listen to the thunder and sort through all the craft stuff for awhile.
The crew navigated through the storms and made it home just in time for the dinner Mikayla had so lovingly made. We started discussing New Jersey (I can't wait to share what I have planned for Thursday!!). There was enough time for hanging out and baths for two very dirty kiddos (they didn't make it into the tub last night and Noah was still sporting smudges of his snake on his cheek. The suggestion I made to both of them this morning to wash them off was met with a near meltdown. Not the hill I wanted to die on.) and a chance to watch New Jersey natives Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First?" routine and get a preview of how they are going to replicate Thomas Edison's invention from New Jersey's Menlo Park, the phonograph! And now as I said, Grant and I are off to watch a movie, so wrapping this up for the evening. We officially kick off New Jersey tomorrow, so check back in then as I share how baffled I was by how much 'stuff'' makes one tiny state so important. Until then...
New Hampshire Fun Fact of the Day: America's Stonehenge is a 4000 year old megalithic (stone constructed) site located on Mystery Hill in Salem and presently serves as a leisurely, educational tour for the whole family.
Coffee and juice at the park - what a way to spend a morning
Noah was reading the comics to the Bean
Helping me in the kitchen
She decided half with pepperoni, half just cheese
Starting work on the casserole - diligently scraping every clam out
Dressing it up
And oh so proud of her work
Pizzas are done!
Clam Chowder Casserole

Advent is the season for waiting. I have been waiting these days. Waiting to see if I get any response from an agent or a publisher. Waiting for the day I will finally be emotionally ready to foster or adopt a pet. These are minimal though compared to what the world is waiting for.
This past Sunday I watched "60 Minutes" with my family. They had a segment about Syrians making a documentary about the civil war going on there. They displayed videos of animals suffering and dead children. I started so sob as I sat there, not being able to control the emotions that flowed through me. I don't know if I am just more sensitive these days because of Chocolate's death. But I cry so easily, especially when I see or hear of children and animals suffering in any way. They are so vulnerable and helpless. They depend on us to protect them and keep them safe. I felt so vulnerable and helpless myself. It was hard for me to separate myself from them, and it left me shaken for the rest of the night.
I said to my mom how hard it is to live with so much evil. It made me sick, and broke my heart. I felt such despair for the victims. At that time I forgot who is in control.
Longfellow wrote "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" during the Civil War. When I read the lyrics tonight, it was just the right song that conveyed what I wanted to say.
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
- "For hate is strong,
- And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
- The Wrong shall fail,
- The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."

We were hanging off the side of a cliff attached only by a harness as we made our way up 1312 feet to the Skylodge Adventure Suites – a series of three transparent cubes suspended by a series of cables from the side of the mountain. This is almost certainly the Sacred Valleys' most interesting accommodation option but a word to the wise – this is not an adventure for the faint of heart…
You reach the accommodation cubes via a series of metal steps (Via Ferrata) that run up the cliff face. We had tried the Via Ferrata a while back so knew to expect stunning views as we climbed, as well as heart stopping moments like the hanging bridge, where you inch your way across the abyss on a single cable. This is the extreme adrenaline rush route up to the Skylodge but you can also hike up if you prefer a less palpitation-inducing ascent!
Skylodge is a true feat of architecture designed by husband and wife team Natalia and Ario, both climbing aficionados. Each cube was hand-made out of aerospace aluminum and polycarbonate by Ario and his team, is 24 ft. long, 8 ft. wide and is a one of a kind that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
Once you arrive after a two to three hour climb, you descend into your cube through a porthole where your guide serves you tea. Once inside the cube, amazingly, it doesn't actually feel like you are hanging off the side of a cliff. The structure is so comfortable and stable that you hardly feel the strong wind blowing outside.
Each cube sleeps up to four people with stunning 300° degree views of the Sacred Valley. The beds are fabulous with great mattresses and soft linen and are ideal for star gazing through the transparent roof once night falls. A three-course dinner with wine is served by your guide in-cube and breakfast the next morning is enjoyed with fellow guests on the roof-top terrace with possibly the best breakfast view in the world!
This is a fabulous one-of-a-kind adventure that mixes the physical adrenaline rush of the Via Ferrata and zipline with a unique night staying in a transparent cube hanging off a cliff – not something you can boast to friends about everyday! We slept like babies after star gazing for hours and woke refreshed and ready for the zipline back to earth.
Best of Peru Travel Recommends:
- Lots of people have asked us "How do you go the bathroom in the cube?" Fear not, Ario and Natalia have thought of everything! One end of the cube is known as the 'dome' and contains a dry toilet and hand-basin with one of the best bathroom views in Peru. It even has curtains for privacy!
- We gave Skylodge a 4.5 star rating because we a) loved our stay and b) it's a unique, adventure experience but just to be clear, despite the price tag and our rating, this is not a luxury hotel experience. There are no showers and for safety reasons you can't leave the cube once you arrive. However, given the logistical difficulties of building something like Skylodge, it is surprisingly comfortable given that you are essentially suspended off the side of a mountain!
- Kids are welcome from six years upwards making this a great family adventure.

Peak Hurricane Season is Here - Get Flood Insurance Before a Storm Hits and It's Too Late!
Peak Hurricane Season is Here - Get Flood Insurance Before a Storm Hits and It's Too Late!
Read the important information below to learn about peak hurricane season flood risks and FloodSmart tools you can use to encourage you to protect yourselves with flood insurance.
Recent heavy rains across the United States serve as another reminder to you that NOW is the time for you to protect your families, homes and businesses by obtaining flood insurance. Late summer and early fall marks the beginning of peak hurricane season - the most active time of the year for hurricanes and tropical storms - and property and business owners need to be prepared should a storm hit your community in the upcoming months. Most homeowners' insurance policies do not cover flood damage and once purchased, there is typically a 30-day waiting period for a flood insurance policy to become effective.
The Risk is Real
Hurricanes and tropical storms bring drenching rains and high winds that can cause significant damage to a home or business and its contents - and recent violent weather and subsequent flooding in Oklahoma and Tennessee demonstrate that floods are not limited to coastal areas. The largest amounts of rainfall from hurricanes are often produced by slow moving storms that move inland. Some of the worst damage from recent hurricanes has occurred hundreds or thousands of miles from the coast - as far north as New York in the case of Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and through much of the Midwest and into Pennsylvania because of Hurricane Ike in 2008.
Costly Consequences
Eight of the top ten most expensive federally-declared disasters have been caused by hurricanes. Just inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage and last year, the average individual flood insurance claim was nearly $28,000. Without flood insurance protection, many property owners may have to absorb the financial losses on their own, potentially draining their savings.
Protect Yourself
Individuals and business owners should get covered before a storm could impact their community and home. You should also know that flood insurance is more affordable than you may think. The average flood insurance policy is around $579 a year and in moderate-to-low-risk areas, Preferred Risk Policies start as low as $119 a year (that's equal to $10 a month or 33 cents a day).
Tools You Can Use
Visit FloodSmart.gov to find essential information and tools that will help remind your customers to prepare for hurricane season.
Cost-of-Flooding Tool: allows property owners to see how expensive just a few inches of water can be to re-building their home or business.
Risk Assessment Tool: allows users to enter their address into an online tool to learn their property's flood risk.
Hurricane Flooding Fact Sheets: explains the realities of hurricane season risks.

UNITED NATIONS, September 28 (Itar-Tass) - The responsibility for effecting the UN Security Council resolution on Syria's chemical weapons rests upon both the Syrian authorities and the opposition, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday after the voting in the UN Security Council.
"The responsibility for complying with that resolution rests not only upon the Syrian government. In accordance with the UN Security Council requirements the Syrian Opposition, too, is obliged to cooperate with international experts," Lavrov said at a meeting of the Security Council.
"By joining the chemical weapons ban convention Syria in fact began to act on its commitments by providing a detailed declaration on the condition of its chemical weapons arsenal to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons," Lavrov said. "Russia proceeds from the assumption that Damascus will continue to interact with international inspectors constructively and diligently."

Bill: *frowns, taking his shoes and socks off, then reaching for his shirt* You're missing some buttons here. What happened?
Charlie: *sighs heavily, but doesn't answer*
Bill: *begins to take it off, then stops, staring at the obvious bite mark on his chest* Oh. I see.
Bill: *swallows hard*
Bill: *is very much Not Happy*
Charlie: *closes his eyes, breathing deeply*
Charlie: Bill. You. And - *stutters over the name 'Sirius'* You're getting married.
Charlie: *not an accusation, or a question. Just a quiet statement*
Bill: *finishes taking off the shirt rather violently*
Bill: Yes.
Charlie: *nods slowly* I thought so.
Bill: *moves on to his trousers, unbuttoning then and pulling them down, careful not to touch or even look at Charlie's crotch*
Bill: *pulls the covers up over him, then goes into the other room for some Pepper-Up potion*
Bill: I should just let you suffer tomorrow morning, but I'll leave this for you anyway. *said stiffly*
Charlie: *makes a small noise, and rolls over onto his side, reaching out for Bill's hand*
Bill: *takes his hand, albeit grudgingly* *traces shapes on his palm* *softer* Why, Charlie? Why does this upset you so much? Are you afraid of losing me? Is that it?
Charlie: *clumsily twines his fingers with Bill's, but doesn't answer*
Charlie: *squeezes his hand once, then loses his grip, hand falling down beside the bed*
Bill: *sits on the edge of the bed, reaching out with his other hand to brush the hair off Charlie's forehead* That's it, isn't it?
Charlie: *tries not to meet his eyes, but can't help himself* *thickly* Bill...
Bill: *leans down to kiss him on the forehead* Don't you know that you can never lose me, Charlie? That we've been together since you were born, and nothing can change that?
Bill: I love you so much, Char. You're a part of me. And no-one can change that, not even Sirius.
Charlie: *closes his eyes, turning his face into the pillow*
Bill: *is so very hurt by this* *voice catches* What is it? What can I do to help you?
Bill: You know I would do anything for you, Charlie. Anything at all. Just name it.
Charlie: *voice muffled by the pillow* Please... stay. Just stay. One night. That's all. *a cough, then something that might be a sigh or a sob*
Bill: *is surprised* Of course. *begins pulling off his clothes*
Charlie: *moves slightly over in the bed, still hiding his face, almost shrinking away from Bill*
Bill: *settles down next to him, on his side, looking over at him*
Bill: *but careful not to touch*
Bill: *finally reaches out a hand and ghosts it over Charlie's arm, barely touching him, in case he pulls away*
Charlie: *sucks in a deep breath, and moves his arm towards Bill's touch, reaching out blindly*
Bill: *catches his reaching hand and holds it tightly, pressing his body forward until he's spooning behind Charlie*
Charlie: *shudders, leaning back into Bill's embrace, desperately trying to press their bodies together in every place possible*
Charlie: *is breathing easier now, but his heart is still hammering*
Bill: *kisses the back of his neck, shuddering at the thought of someone else doing this to *his* Charlie*
Charlie: *tenses against him, then slowly relaxes*
Bill: *rubs soothing circles on his side*
Charlie: *slowly reaches out and takes Bill's hand, pulling his arm around him in a tight embrace*
Bill: *twines their fingers, squeezing his hand and chancing another light kiss to the back of his neck*
Charlie: *leans his head forward slightly, closing his eyes at the feeling of Bill's breath on his neck* *whispers a slurred 'stay with me, Bill' into the pillow*
Bill: *cards his other hand slowly through Charlie's hair* *softly* I will. *trails kisses down his neck to his collar bone, then gently urges him to turn over so that he's laying on his back*
Charlie: *goes with it, leaning slightly into Bill's chest, his eyes fluttering open again*
Bill: *meets his gaze as he leans over him and places a kiss on his forehead, then on at the corner of his mouth, seeking permission*
Charlie: *turns his head, unconsciously trying to make Bill's kisses land on his mouth* *one hand comes up to touch Bill's shoulder, his movements slow and clumsy*
Bill: *reaches up to squeeze his hand, his mouth hovering an inch above Charlie's, letting him feel his warm breath*
Bill: *lets the tip of his tongue trace Charlie's lower lip, gradually sucking it into his mouth*
Charlie: *reaches his hands up to tangle almost painfully in Bill's hair, squeezing his eyes shut tightly* *pulls away for a second and then fastens his mouth onto Bill's, pressing their lips together hard*
Bill: *parts his lips, clicking their teeth together as he kisses Charlie back with an urgency that surprises them both*
Charlie: *hands tighten in Bill's hair*
Charlie: *kisses him wetly, only breaking off to suck in air, but not opening his eyes*
Bill: *pauses to catch his breath, then leans over him again, kissing him hard, pressing his tongue against Charlie's teeth, insisting that he open his mouth*
Bill: *slowly rolls so that he's laying on top of him by the end of the kiss*
Charlie: *opens his mouth under Bill's tongue, sighing softly as their tongues meet, lips still crushed together almost hard enough to bruise*
Charlie: *hands trail down to Bill's shoulders, holding him close*
Bill: *tastes alcohol and something unfamiliar on Charlie's tongue, and growls in the back of his throat when he realizes it must be whomever Charlie was with that night*
Charlie: *opens his eyes, searching Bill's face*
Bill: *looks both hurt and angry, possessive*
Bill: *frames Charlie's face with his hands* *in a rough, dangerous voice* Was it male or female?
Charlie: *blinks at him* Was...
Charlie: *obviously caught off-balance, stroking at Bill's bare back*
Bill: The person I taste on you. *strokes his fingers over the bite* *This* person. Male or female, Char?
Charlie: *groans deeply* you know... I don't like girls. You know that. *reaches out, trying to touch the side of Bill's face*
Bill: *flinches away slightly* *he knows he's acting irrationally, but he's so incredibly jealous he hardly knows what to do with himself* And have you been seeing him for awhile and didn't tell me about it? Or did you just pick up someone tonight and let him fuck you? *can't keep the bitterness out of his voice*
Charlie: *stares at him, confusion showing* I haven' been seeing anyone. *slurring slightly more as he gets emotional* He was... there. In the bar. *drops his hand back to the bed when he sees that Bill doesn't want to be touched*
Charlie: *slides his other arm from around Bill's shoulders, gently touching the back of his neck* *almost apologetically* Just there.
Bill: *looks away from him, trying to get a grip on his emotions*
Bill: *looks back* What?
Charlie: *murmurs* Said he was... just there.
Bill: *anger slides away, leaving only hurt* *to himself* Because I wasn't. Oh, Char... I should've realised how this news would affect you. I was so wrapped up in myself and Sirius that I never thought... but dammit, I'm supposed to be the one to be there for you when you need someone. Me. I'm your brother. I should've done something.
Charlie: *turns his face to one side, pressing his cheek against the cool of the pillow* *bitterly* 's not you. *his hand clenches into a fist in the sheets*
Bill: *looks down on him, squeezing his hand* It is me. I should have warned you, or something. I'm sorry, Charlie.
Charlie: *murmurs* Not you... me. *reaches slowly to smooth the hair off Bill's face*
Bill: Why do you think that?
Charlie: *shakes his head, whispering something incoherent under his breath* *tugs a little on Bill's hair, trying to draw him closer*
Bill: *comes closer, until he's again hovering over Charlie's mouth, his lips ghosting over Charlie's* What was that you said?
Charlie: *as quickly as he can* Nevermind. *presses himself up against Bill, lips blindly seeking Bill's mouth*
Bill: *kisses him back, sinking into the oh-so-familiar rhythm and feel of Charlie's mouth, fogetting everything outside of the two of them for a long moment*
Charlie: *closes his eyes, trying to draw the kiss out for as long as possible, hands running over Bill's back in wide, lazy sweeps*
Bill: *finally breaks the kiss, panting, but doesn't pull away* *Charlie will be able to feel his hardening cock against his thigh*
Charlie: *swallows, moving his leg slightly to rub against Bill's cock, feeling Bill's breath hot on his flushed face*
Bill: *pulls his hips back abruptly, looking at Charlie* Are you sure?
Charlie: *exhales slowly, looking up at him* Of what?
Bill: *swallows* Do you even want to be with me anymore?
Charlie: *blinks* Do I... *trails off, taking his hands away from Bill's back*
Charlie: *bites his lip* I just... *shakes his head, trying to work out what he wants to say* I just. Need you. *looks up at him, almost avoiding eye contact*
Bill: *looks away* We haven't exactly been together much since you got back into town. At first I thought it was Sirius, but now I'm not so sure.
Charlie: *shakes his head dumbly, not understanding what Bill is trying to say* *tries to shift his weight under Bill, and his leg rubs hard against Bill's erection, making him hesitate and stop*
Bill: *sucks in a gulp of air at the contact to his cock*
Charlie: You... don't think I want you. *slow statement, trying to make the words as clear as possible*
Bill: *turns his head back to meet his eyes* Do you?
Charlie: Bill... *pauses, slowly threading his fingers back into Bill's hair* Want you. I want to... be with you.
Bill: *nods, satisfied that this is the truth, and kisses him gently, keeping his eyes open* ...love you, Charlie...
Charlie: *squeezes his eyes shut, kissing him back a little desperately* ... so much...
Bill: *presses his cock against his thigh, shifting his own leg against Charlie's cock*
Charlie: *pulls back a little and swipes his tongue over Bill's lower lip, breathing heavily* *whispers* SO much...
Bill: *seals his mouth over Charlie's sucking his tongue in and sucking on it* Show me how much, Char.
Charlie: *runs his hands over Bill's bare chest, eyes a little wide, as if he can't really believe this is happening*
Charlie: *tentatively shifts his hips, pressing his erection against Bill's thigh*
Bill: *pushes his hand between them to stroke along Charlie's erection, thrusting his tongue roughly into his mouth and exploring*
Charlie: *closes his eyes, rubbing himself slowly against Bill's hand* *his voice is hoarse* Oh... please. Do that.
Bill: *runs his thumb repeatedly over the tip, collecting the fluid and licking it slowly off, clearly savoring* I want to taste you.
Charlie: *groans, and leans in to kiss Bill again, his tongue sliding suddenly between Bill's lips, tasting himself on Bill's mouth*
Charlie: *murmurs Bill's name into his mouth, moving his hands down to brush against Bill's nipples*
Bill: *slides his hand down the shaft, gathering his balls and rolling them against his palm slowly*
Bill: *arches up into Charlie's touch, nipples hard*
Charlie: *brushes his palms against Bill's nipples, dragging his hands slowly over the warm skin, his breathing harsh in Bill's ear*
Charlie: *swallows, feeling slightly dizzy, one hand going to clutch at Bill's back*
Bill: *begins moving down his body, finally kneeling between his legs, breathing hot air onto his cock*
Bill: *meets his eyes as he slowly laps at the head of his prick*
Bill: You are mine. Always, Charlie.
Charlie: *reaches down to wind his fingers through Bill's hair, letting it fall through his hands* *whispers, his voice thick* want to be yours... so much. *sucks in a deep breath and trembles at the feeling of Bill's tongue on his cock*
Bill: *takes the head into his mouth and pauses, sucking on it lightly, then gradually taking in the rest of the shaft, teasingly slowly*
Charlie: *gasps, his eyes fluttering closed again as he sinks back on the pillows, body shaking with the effort of stopping himself from thrusting into Bill's mouth*
Bill: *fingers explore around his hole, the ball of his thumb circling the entrance slowly*
Bill: *deep throats the prick, tongue sliding along the bottom*
Charlie: Ah, FUCK... *arches his back, hands tightening unconsciously in Bill's hair until they're holding his head in place* *presses his face into the pillows, his laboured breathing suddenly muffled*
Bill: *pulls back to keep just the head in his mouth, tongue sliding over the underside and pressing into the hole at the top*
Charlie: *moans Bill's name, hands sliding down to clutch at his shoulders, as if to reassure himself that he's not dreaming*
Charlie: *bucks sharply upwards into Bill's mouth before he can help himself*
Bill: *takes him in easily, then lets his cock slide out with a small slurp* Do you want to come now, or with me inside you?
Charlie: *murmurs something incoherent, trying to pull Bill up by the shoulders*
Bill: *lets himself be pulled up until he's lying on top of Charlie again, their faces an inch apart* What was that, Charlie?
Charlie: *presses his lips against Bill's hungrily* I... I want to be yours. *swallows, closing his eyes* Want you to have me.
Bill: *kisses him hard, hands cupping his cheeks*
Charlie: *slides his hand down to stroke along the small of Bill's back, following the curve of his arse*
Bill: *sits up quickly, pushing a pillow under Charlie's hips and placing his legs over his shoulders*
Charlie: *breathes deeply, watching Bill's face as he offers himself*
Bill: *reaces blindly for the salve and squeezes out a tiny amount, working it over his cock quickly* This is going to hurt, my love.
Charlie: *swallows, his voice strange* Good.
Charlie: *exhales slowly, feeling the dizziness sweeping over him again*
Bill: *presses against Charlie's hole, which has obviously been fucked once that night already* *swallows hard, seeing this, and meets Charlie's eyes again instead*
Charlie: *bites his lip at the blunt heat of Bill against his entrance, pushing down slightly*
Bill: *presses in gradually, feeling Charlie's body accepting him, though with the small amount of lube there's an incredible amount of friction and burning pain*
Charlie: *clutches at Bill's back, hard enough for his nails to leave tiny marks, as he pulls Bill into him*
Charlie: *spreads his legs as wide as he can, the alcohol dulling the pain a little*
Bill: *moans as he's encased in Charlie's tight heat*
Bill: *chants as he thrusts* Mine. You are mine. Always. Forever. Mine.
Charlie: *nods silently, rocking his hips out of rhythm with the thrusts, turning them into harsh, uneven strokes, trying to feel as much of Bill inside him as possible*
Charlie: *cries out as Bill rubs against his prostate, clenching his hands in the sheets*
Bill: *fucks him faster, angling to hit his prostate only occassionally, still punishing him*
Charlie: *hoarsely* So good, Bill, so FUCKING good...
Bill: *closes his eyes, feeling himself close already, and trying hard to stave off his impending orgasm*
Charlie: *opens up around him, eyes fixed on Bill's face*
Charlie: *catches hold of one of Bill's hands, squeezing it tight as he thrusts up against Bill, trying to drive him deeper still*
Bill: *opens his eyes, meeting Charlie's gaze as he squeezes back*
Bill: *softly* I love you.
Charlie: *starts to tremble* I... love you...
Charlie: *murmurs* want you in me want you here... want... *then gasps as Bill hits a sensitive spot, clenching tighter around him*
Bill: *moans, one hand going to Charlie's cock and stroking in the same rhythm*
Charlie: *thrusts desperately up into Bill's hand, too far gone to realise that he's whispering Bill's name over and over*
Bill: *screams Charlie's name as he comes hard*
Charlie: *closes his eyes, fighting to breathe from the pressure on his cock and the warmth of Bill inside him*
Bill: *after a moment resumes the stroking on his cock, though much more slowly*
Charlie: *runs his tongue over his parched lips* *whispers, hardly slurring at all now* Oh Bill, PLEASE...
Bill: *hand slows* What do you want, Charlie? Do you want to fuck me? Do you want me to suck you dry?
Charlie: *opens his eyes, looking up at Bill's flushed face* I want you to hold me. I want you to hold me, while I come. *whispers* Don't want to feel anything but you.
Bill: *lays down beside him, rolling onto his back so that Charlie can get on top of him*
Bill: *puts one arm aroud him, the other hand quickening on his cock*
Charlie: *settles on top of Bill, burying his face in the hollow of his collarbone and closing his eyes*
Charlie: *is breathing hard, squeezing Bill's shoulder as he presses himself into Bill's hand*
Bill: *licks at his neck, outlining the marks Charlie's earlier encounter had left*
Charlie: *makes a small noise, sliding his leg between Bill's thighs*
Charlie: *kisses the skin underneath his mouth, tasting the salt of Bill's sweat, moaning softly as he feels himself getting close*
Bill: *nips his neck, making his own marks*
Charlie: *tilts his head to one side, exposing more skin*
Bill: *bites harder, sucking the pale skin into his mouth and leaving purple welts*
Bill: *hand moves faster, thumb swiping across the tip*
Charlie: *arches his back and comes silently into Bill's hand, laying his cheek flat on Bill's chest as the tremors sweep over him, clutching his hand*
Bill: *holds him tight through it*
Charlie: *swallows hard, lying heavy against him*

Noah spent most of the trip refering to Lake Superior as "the sea", which I found very plesant. We vacationed by the sea last weekend. I wore a large hat to keep the sun from my delicate skin.
Wait, sun? Or "sun"? See that big white blob in the sky? That's where the sun should have been.
It was a bit chilly and sprinkly and very, very windy, but we still had a wonderful time. We are hearty Minnesotans! Hear us roar (please ignore the shivering)!
We also drove up to Temperance River State Park, about an hour or so north of Duluth. It's so pretty up there, and Noah had a great time climbing and hiking around on the rocks along the river. And he didn't even fall to his death once, because we are good parents who didn't push him in.
And of course we spent time running around the beach pretending to be pirates. Ok, so perhaps I was the only one pretending to be a pirate. But still, yarrgh matey and whatnot.

Day dreams, fright night mares, long shiftless naps with quiet undertones - the sensory oddity of the brains pictures, sounds and scents meant to make sense of and sort through the vast undertaking of a day or a life..........and then they grasp it in images and words that help it all seem weirder than we thought......
"The Cell" (2000) - Ugh, it doesn't work. Jennifer Lopez is a decent actress, Vincent D'Ofrino is okay and the sets, costumes and most of the music are fair to midland. Yet, this just falls apart- while watching, you will keep asking yourself, Why you've bothered.
"The Never Ending Story" ( 1984) - Delightful if overly sweet. A definite rewatchable- you'll notice something different with each viewing.
"Office Space" (1999) - A dream that shouldn't have been put on film and now can't get out of your head. Ick. But so worth it for this otherwise terrific odd film. Yay to Stephen Root!!

well hello
i guess i will start with the big news: i didnt get changes and galvez didnt either so we will be together for almost 6 more weeks!! but yeah that was that.. it was another very hot week in brillantes for the two of us. it was a very hard week. we spent one day inside because galvez was very sick and the rest of the week we worked hard with very minimal success. the only great news is that our investigador Maria is going to get baptized on saturday!! she is super cool and has a daughter who served a mission and she is so ready for this!! it is amazing to see her love for this gospel, she has already started to invite and bring friends to church!!!! we have heard from many members how shocked they are that she is taking this step in her life because she has been talking to missionaries on and off for years and her daughter too has tried so hard. it just reminds me how everyone has their time to hear and accept the gospel.
this week we had a very interesting thing happen on friday at about 6 pm. we were out by the road waiting for a tuc-tuc (3wheeled thing that we use to get places), a bus (really just big vans that are always super super full and we hang out the side of them) or a jalon (hitchhike, yes we do that here) to go to the area of the hermanas to work with them. while we were waiting i felt something weird.... it felt like a large semitruck had just passed very close to me making the ground shake, but there werent any semis..... it was an EARTHQUAKE!!!! galvez looked at me and said; do you feel that? and i said yes and we freaked out because we were right by this sign that was swaying. we moved and i actually really enjoyed it and then it stopped and everything was ok. as far as we know there has not been any damage or loss of life so that is way good!!
other than that i dont really have anything else to say this week. it was a good, hard week and we are planning on having a great week to come.
hope all is well back home.

This week I plan on having lot of salads for lunch. Most of the time I load them with black beans, kidney beans, nuts or eggs to get protein. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to have some leftover meat to toss in there though!
For dinners this week, we are going to try two new recipes and two of our easy to make tried and true recipes. I typically only plan 4 meals a week because most of the time by Friday we have plans with friends, or we have plenty of leftovers to make up a tasty meal while we watch "Shark Tank". Yes, I love that show!
Our meals for this week:
2 New:
Crock pot Greek Chicken with Quinoa - found here at the Tone It Up Blog
2 Tried & True:
Burgers - found here at this blog - the ones is that post are Turkey, but we plan on making lean beef (Neal told me he wanted BEEF so he will have beef!)
I'm going to be trying at least 1 crock pot recipe a week from now until the end of February so I can compete in the Crock Pot Challenge Julie at Peanut Butter Fingers is throwing. Many crock pot recipes I find have tomatoes in them, so I am looking for some good ones to try without tomatoes, let me know if you have one!

Incomplete, as should be obvious from the missing types in Gamma quadra.
This is a tentative list.
I hypothesize that LIIs -- and all of the other types, for that matter -- switch from amongst any of the sixteen energy processing orders as the need arises, especially when discoursing in monologue. This allows them to see the situation and its meaning from as many angles as possible, and to demonstrate their understanding of it. Frequently the thesis of their argument will center around observations made in the context of the dominant EM type (dominant meaning the strongest possible function ordering), with various supporting theories proposed by other LIIs (and ILEs, as needed) backing it up. The weaker functions are usually avoided altogether, and the id functions are used exclusively as a means of answering criticism, or to explain the origin of the thesis. (its empirical TeNi basis)

Garrett and I have been engaged since December.
We wanted to have an engagement party but really wanted it to be an outside summer party, so next month we will be celebrating our engagement with our friends and family, and I couldn't be any more excited.
We will be doing an actual engagement photo shoot at some point closer to the wedding, next year. For now- we wanted to take a few engagement photos to have for the party. So we got dressed and my mom took pictures of us at a park. Voila.

Photo Sesh
Garrett and I have been engaged since December.
We trekked off into the way outskirts of the park where it was basically a pain-in-the-butt to get to. Avery managed to fall into a dead rose bush, so that was fun. After that she was D-O-N-E with pictures. Bribing her with Starbucks didn't even work. It has been a while since we have any pictures taken together, that wasn't taken from a front iPhone camera, so I really wanted to get some pictures of the three of us as well.
I am excited to get the ball rolling with wedding planning! Also, excited to share the whole journey on this little ol' blog!

Windows NT celebrates twentieth anniversary
It's Saturday exactly twenty years since the first version of Windows NT was released. Windows NT 3.1 – not 1.0 – the first version of Windows that is not based on DOS, but in a completely new developed kernel.
Although Windows NT 3.1 is not really a commercial success, the first NT version was innovative in many ways. Not only had no NT DOS kernel, NT 3.1 also supported the 32bit mode of CPUs. Also in userland applications that could run no longer directly with the hardware, which also provided the necessary problems with older software simultaneously. That under other operating systems, such as UNIX, has long been the case.
Windows NT was originally intended as a successor to OS / 2, together with IBM was made by Microsoft, but instead was NT led by architect Dave Cutler a completely new system. The first Windows NT version 1.0 with version number was not, but 3.1 since Windows 3.1 was at that time just appeared and Microsoft wanted to sow confusion.
Microsoft put NT in the market as a high-end operating system, designed for desktops in the upper segment and smaller servers. The operating system then also turned not everywhere that there was a whopping 16 megabytes of internal memory in order to boot NT.
Originally it was intended that the NT and 'DOS versions' of a Windows operating system would soon be back to Windows XP, but there were two windows branches coexist. For home users the DOS versions, such as Windows 95 and 98, were most popular, for NT servers was more popular, thanks to a better network stack and support for the then new NTFS. Is the Windows NT kernel in modified form still the foundation of Microsoft's operating system. Also called Windows 8 officially Windows NT 6.2, Windows 8.1 will officially version 6.3 with Windows NT.

Fly Fishing Dream
My brother Jim is trying to describe his new flyfishing floatboat to me---a brand new exotic technology---I don't get it, and Ellis pulls out his really huge 'Power Mac' (had to be 25'' or more) and I'm gagga looking at it, get lost with the oddness and how light it is---Ellis switches it on and up comes an animated screensaver film full blown and beautiful subtitles, voice over narration...Jim goes by the screen in the flatboat like some Star Wars ship---slowmo; lake water much like mercury. The 'boat' is clear plastic and flat with Jimmy prone looking back and waving to the camera---I ask 'Where are the windows?' They both look at each other and laugh but never tell me. Ellis talking both on the screensaver film and in the room---his voices crisscrossing and I'm getting confused and tell him to let his voice-over do the speaking---now we're following alongside the floatboat and camera zooming in on contents---Saltines, Weetabix, bacon, cans of preserves...he's inside his sleeping bag and has a shotgun---not fishing rod---poking out the front. 'We're into duck hunting now. It's on whole other level'. Now the big Power Mac starts acting up and Ellis is hunting around for his AC but can't locate it. I'm looking at the laptop and thinking it's much too light to be a serious computer; so how? Ellis now going into a long and complicated technical explanation of Mac evolution and I'm feeling like I've been away for a very long time. Fleeting thoughts of coma.
Large transport plane flying close overhead. San Diego? Near an ocean. Stooping down with a stranger smoking a joint talking about the dissolving naval fleet docked in the harbor....plane is sinking and now going much too close to mass transit overpass and we watch its left delta wing clipping a long stacked row of storage containers; a maze of sparks flying....then a fireball explosion and we can hear moaning and stranger says 'let's go' and is scampering deftly billygoats down. But I'm not able, I can't negotiate the steepdusty slope. Big drop ravine---now he's waving maniacally and I'm stuck. My mind is terrified at the prospect of seeing human meat chunks and poop guts in the trees. I take a drag on the roach and start cleaning my teeth, thinking of what to do. The signs nearby speaking Spanish all bullet-riddled and wrinklerusted---sad poor houses, whitwashed with flapping laundry. Tijuana? Andalucia? I see the tide coming in.

PROTON Motorsports Exhilarating Podium Finish in New Caledonia!
They did it! The team finished first and third place overall at the Rally De Nouvelle Caledonie last weekend to clinch its second successive victory after three rounds of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC).
Chris scored his second win of the season, together with co-driver Stephane Prevot in the all famous yellow Neo finishing the three-day event ahead of Pertamina Cusco Racing's Rifat Sungkar in the more powerful turbocharged Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Meanwhile, Alister drove to a hard-fought third place after having conceded his early lead in the rally due to a puncture and broken driveshaft.
Victory in New Caledonia saw team PROTON claiming not only the overall victory, but also top honors amongst the APRC contenders and finishing first in the Pacific Cup. PROTON also clinched the APRC Team Trophy at the event.
"It's a phenomenal result for PROTON, the entire team and for Stephane and I personally. Our rally wasn't exactly trouble free especially with a broken driveshaft in day 2 but we were lucky we had built a big enough gap to have it replaced and still hang on to the lead," said Chris.
"In terms of power, performance and reliability, the Satria Neo S2000 performed like a gem this weekend."
With maximum points scored in New Caledonia, Chris moves into the lead of the APRC Driver's Championship with 58 points, just two points ahead of Alister. In third place is currently Team MRF's Gaurav Gill who retired in New Caledonia. Alister also reclaims the top spot in the Asia Cup Driver's Championship ahead of Gill. Also moving to first and second places in the APRC Co-Driver's Championship are Stephane Prevot and Billy Hayes with 58 and 56 points respectively.
The team now stretches its lead in the APRC Teams Trophy with 128 points ahead of Team MRF that had both drivers retiring in New Caledonia.
And as a bonus, Karamjit Singh also won the Two-Wheel Drive Category in his 1600cc Satria Neo which extends his lead in the Driver's Championship and PROTON's lead in the Manufacturer's Championship to 78 points respectively. Karamjit finished ninth overall in the rally.
So of course everyone's over the moon with the victory, and rightfully so. It goes to show how competitive the Neo S2000 is, despite enduring its share of misfortunes and technical issues along the way this year. The cars competed against more powerful turbocharged cars and won rallies!
We're so proud of the team and wish them all the best as they move on to the Ypres Rally in Belgium coming up very soon.
Meanwhile, check out exclusive photos of the New Caledonia rally and behind the scene photos of the team including amazing pictures of the island and its people at our official Facebook page.
Malaysian Rally : We are the champions!
The PROTON Motorsports rally team did it! They won, and what a sweet victory too, with Chris at 1st and Alister at 3rd placing overall. Congratulations team PROTON!
With an entirely new suspension set-up and significant engine enhancements, Chris steered the Neo to victory finishing 1 minute 36.6 seconds ahead of MRF's Gaurav Gill in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, with Alister coming in at third.
Restarting the third and final day of the rally in Kota Tinggi with a lead of 2 minutes 10 seconds, Chris was quickly forced to concede 30 seconds to an attacking Gill, as he nursed a right rear puncture sustained midway into the opening 12.42km special stage at Tai Tak – Court House.
With the punctured tyre replaced and unable to afford another puncture, Chris then paced the Satria Neo S2000 through the two remaining 11.97km and 14.26km special stages to return safely to the scheduled service interval. With four special stages remaining, he needed only to steer clear of trouble and maintain an already comfortable lead.
Alister thinks the results were fantastic and that the Neo performed extremely well throughout the rally. It was especially satisfying for him to have been able to demonstrate the car's true potential, competitiveness and its level of pace and performance in front of the home crowd. Alister also celebrates his first ever victory and only second podium finish with PROTON since joining the team last year.
For Alister, third place was every bit rewarding as he had to manage an overheating problem caused by debris and vegetation blocking the air path to the radiator through the front bumper grille. The podium finish also places him second behind Gaurav, in the Asia Cup category.
Victory was even more meaningful for Alister's co-driver Stephane Prevot who in his 24 years of rallying, celebrated his 300th rally on top of the podium and the APRC standings.
The third and final day of the Malaysian Rally was run over seven special stages totaling 79.80km. Heavy downpour just hours before the rally was due to start on the second day had wrecked havoc on the event, inflicting so many serious casualties and eliminating most of the top seeded drivers, as what had earlier been dry and dusty quickly became muddy and slippery conditions.
The Satria Neo S2000's pace and performance in Malaysia forms a strong foundation for further development in preparation for the next round of the APRC which moves to Australia next month and with five more very competitive rounds to contest.
Outstanding results for PROTON at the Malaysian Rally also extended to the two debutante front-wheel driven 1600cc Satria Neos. Competing for the very first time, the two cars finished 8th and 9th overall at the hands of PROTON Cusco Rally Team's Akira Bamba and Kosuke Takashino. Both drivers also clinched 1st and 2nd in the APRC Junior Cup category.
Well done again to the team, the engineers and the people behind the scenes who made it happen. Also a big shoutout to all our fans who kept the faith and remained our strong supporters. THANK YOU!

Malaysian Rally: Shakedown & Weekend Ahead
Shakedown took place yesterday, at the Plaza Angsana. Check out some of the action below.
To view the entire Shakedown album, click here.
A few more hours to go before the start of the Malaysian Rally. The action starts today, with a Special Stage Race over a 2.5km purpose built track at the Plaza Angsana Johore Bahru before the real race begins at the Tai Tak Estate in Kota Tinggi over the weekend.
Day 2 of the rally will involve seven special stages, with another seven special stages being run on the third and final day.
Alister, who led the Malaysian Rally last year until his Neo was severely damaged in a jump, is confident and ready to claim victory this time around. Both our drivers Alister and Chris expect the Neo to put on a much more charged up performance this weekend in front of the home crowd, their cars equipped with an entirely new suspension set-up as well as engine enhancements.
Chris expects the change in suspension will give the team greater confidence and better traction while revisions to the engine will provide more horsepower and offer consistent torque throughout the rev range. He believes the improvements will lead to a much better flow and natural feel overall.
The Malaysian Rally has attracted a total of 38 entries, with 11 cars competing for APRC points.
Now let's check out the competition. There's four time APRC overall winner Cody Crocker for the GSR Pennzoil Team in a Subaru Impreza, Katsu Taguchi of Japan of course, defending champion of the Malaysian leg of the APRC in his Mitsubishi Evo XI, Muhammad Rafiq Udhaya, the defending Malaysian Rally champion in the Subaru Impreza and the famous Karamjit Singh in his new Mitsubishi Evo, all geared up to win this season after his loss last year.
Despite the impressive competitor lineup, our team is confident and setting its sight on gaining victory on home ground, with the newly-charged cars ready for a more dominant performance.
With rallies, you never know what lies ahead and what to expect in each race. So we wish all the teams competing in the Malaysian Rally 2011 the best of luck and may the best team win!
As always, stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates on team performance and results, including photos from the rally.

Cars Geared for Season 2011 after Scotland Rally
Despite more challenges faced in the Scotland Rally, the team once again demonstrated the pace and performance of the S2000 in the penultimate round of the IRC which covered a combined distance of 196.92km of competitive special stages.
The rough three-day rally saw the top competitors battling repeated punctures. McRae and co-driver Hayes drove to a commendable comeback to finish the final day of the rally fourth fastest. McRae was excluded from an overall placing, but had rejoined the rally under the FIA Super Rally Format following an early retirement on day two due to a failed alternator.
PROTON team mate and two-time reigning British Rally champion Keith Cronin, were forced to retire from the event, joining a host of other drivers whose run was hampered by punctures throughout the rally.
Privateer Tom Cave also rejoined PROTON in Scotland. Starting the third and final day of the rally from ninth, Cave charged aggressively through the last four special stages in dramatic style which saw Skoda, Ford, Peugeot and PROTON taking the top four fastest positions. Cave too suffered an early setback when two punctures forced the young driver to nurse the Satria Neo S2000 back to service, dropping him back to ninth position and some 10 minutes behind, eventually succumbing to the slippery and rough roads.
While the rally of Scotland did not pan out the way the team would have hoped, and as the IRC season comes to an end this year, the pace set by the cars are proof enough that the Satria Neo S2000 is indeed competitive globally among the likes of more established car manufacturers. PROTON's consistent performance and the fact that McRae secured a second place finish in last year's Rally of Scotland goes a long way in reaffirming not only the car's reliability, durability and performance, but also in raising the profile and level of confidence in PROTON as a competitive car.
PROTON's selected entries in the 2010 IRC are geared towards fine-tuning the Satria Neo S2000 in preparation for the championship in 2011. The team may be returning for the next season with the hopes that they are able to apply further development and enhancements to the car that will help the team to gain a much deserved victory.
The other side of rally
It's not always about loud exhausts and screeching brakes at rallies. If you thought rally events were just about the rallying bit, well you've not quite grasped the enormity of the entire event.
At rallies, many other events take place. There are car shows and exhibitions, entertainment and charity events. At one of the previous rallies, the organizers even brought in little ponies for rides, had dogs and roosters (yes, roosters!) on show and life size cartoon characters were running all around the grounds of the service park! I suppose these were added attractions to the actual event itself, that lent to the overall festive mood of the service park and surrounding areas. At the recent Australian rally, there was even a special cocktail created in honour of our S2000 – how flattering!

Ponies on display at the service park – Rally Hokkaido
Then there are the fans, the wonderful supportive fans. They who come from far and near to catch the cars and drivers in action, some going home with autographs and other merchandise the team may have given them, others just happy to have had a glimpse of their favourite teams, cars and drivers. Some fans even go as far as making their own merchandise! And may I add, the team at PROTON simply love their fans to bits!
Fans gathered at the PROTON service tent in Hokkaido
And finally rally events don't forget the needy. And the team is ever ready to support any good cause. While at the Rally of Queensland recently, PROTON took the opportunity to contribute to a good cause by participating in a charity auction. The auction was organized by Variety Queensland, an Australian based worldwide charity for children. Shirts were signed by the PROTON R3 Malaysia Rally team's ace drivers Alister McRae and Chris Atkinson and put up for auction to raise funds for the charitable organization. We hope they manage to raise a significant amount for the cause they believe in.

So you see, it's not always just about men and women in crazily fast cars…:)

Rally Whangarei : Sweet podium finish
Apologies for the late update here on the PROTON Motorsports blog. I have been away for a bit…but I am back and I must say all of us at PROTON are just so happy for the PROTON R3 Malaysia Rally Team, we had our very first podium finish at the Rally of New Zealand. Finally, all hard work paid off for the team.
Let's go through a quick recap of the New Zealand rally.
Attended by thousands of spectators, the rally, a four day event, run over the toughest of the North Island roads in typically changeable Kiwi conditions saw dry sunny conditions on Day 1 of the rally with a sudden bout of heavy rain on Sunday day 2. Suffice to say, visibility was poor on day 2 for the drivers and it was a challenge indeed.
Alister McRae, who drove on both days with the main aim to garner more points, was rewarded with an entirely untroubled second place.
Chris however, retired on day 1 due to a snapped alternator belt but returned on day 2 under super rally rules. He set the fastest time on SS9 but unfortunately had to stop at SS14 due to an unidentified engine problem.
Also, both Alister and Chris were regularly in the top three APRC times throughout the rally.
Alister & Bill were initially positioned at third place during the closing ceremony due to an error by the organizers which was later rectified.
Hayden Paddon in a Mitsubishi EVO IX and John Kennard, both Kiwi drivers, took victory on both days. 23 year old Hayden Paddon also won 13 of the event's 16 competitive stages and set five new stage records.
You'll find more updates and pictures on our Facebook page so if you're not a fan, you should join us now.
Once again, well done to the team and here's to PROTON's first podium finish for 2010 and more to come!
Next up is the International Rally of Queensland. More details on the upcoming rally in future posts.
Leaving you with some quotes from the team and do have yourselves a splendid week ahead!
Alister McRae:
"I knew the car was capable of this kind of performance, and I know it's capable of going quicker as well. Taking second in the APRC here is really important for the team, it's a real shot in the arm for everybody. But now we want to win. We know we have the pace to win these APRC rounds and that's got to be the next step in Australia at the end of the month. In the end, we had the perfect rally.
We didn't have to touch the car at all, the boys didn't lay a spanner on the PROTON once, which is really encouraging from a reliability point of view. We weren't going anywhere near flat out with the car, though. The main aim from this event was to pick up points and that's what we have done. What a great place to go rallying, though. Even in the pouring rain today, it was fantastic to drive those stages again. You can really put the hammer down and push on, knowing the car's going to stick before leaping over the cambers and into the corner. It's been a great weekend."
Chris Atkinson:
"I love the roads down here in New Zealand and this car suited the stages perfectly. I was amazed at just how much speed you could carry through the corners in this car, there's so much grip in the PROTON, it's fantastic. We managed to set some competitive times on this event, which is pleasing. But what's more important is that we know what we were doing to set those times and, believe me, there's more to come from the car.
We arrived in Whangarei with a bit of pressure on, you know we hadn't pulled the result we might have done in the IRC round [at Ypres] and while we'd shown great stage times and Alister led and almost won in Malaysia, we needed to put some points away down here. Unfortunately for us, we had a freak thing with the alternator belt on the first day: had it not been for that I reckon there would have been two PROTONs on the podium and who knows who would have been on which step! This has been a really positive and encouraging weekend."
Chris Mellors (team principal):
"I'm happy with that result. Both drivers were out there under strict instructions about how to drive the cars, so we know there's more to come from the Satria and Alister and Chris. I was really pleased with the way Chris went in particular, he showed some great speed and set some very good times, some of which we're told were close to stage records set in the dry. Alister was, as usual, very competitive, quick and consistent.
We've had a bit of a tough run recently, so to be heading home with a result, second place under our belts, puts more wind in the sails. We're going to be doing some more testing and more development work ahead of the next APRC round in Queensland. Like Alister said, we want to take that next step up the podium."
Ypres Rally:You win some, you lose some
Yesterday's final day at Ypres Rally saw all three of our cars retire at SS4 due to engine problems and were unable to continue with the rally. The team has already begun investigations into the root cause of the problem.
Rally Ypres was won by Belgian Freddy Loix in the Skoda Fabia S2000 21 seconds ahead of Jan Kopecky. His rival Kris Meeke crashed out and after that it was victory all the way for Fast Freddy. Third placing went to Peugeot's Thierry Neuville.
Our team didn't quite make it today but they did a good job as always, putting in a lot of effort, hard work and skill. In the world of rallying, nothing is predictable. Rallies take place on all surfaces and in all sorts of conditions. We've said this before, anything can happen in ralllies. That's what makes it such a unique and interesting sport.
And as usual it was indeed a proud moment to see our team and cars compete globally. PROTON has certainly journeyed far and we look forward to Rally New Zealand with renewed spirit.
Ypres Rally : Shakedown & Driver Quotes
The Shakedown that took place yesterday was situated about 20 km drive from Ypres at the small town of Nieuwkerke. From 7pm till 11pm, over 80 cars ran the 4.88km stage. Thousands of spectators swamped the town and the surrounding countryside to catch a first glimpse of the cars in action.
My colleagues who are there at the rally tell me that there are many families with children amongst the group of spectators. That is so cool, reminds me of the amazing fans of Rally Hokkaido. Overall the spectator turnout at Ypres is great.
The team tested from 7pm till 11pm. It only began to get dark at 1030pm, and the team then fixed on the spotlights for a test before today's rally that will run late into the night.
Will be back with more recaps.
In the meantime, we leave you with some quotes from our drivers:
Chris Atkinson:
"All's going well and the car is working good."
On his thoughts about today's rally – "Realistically, it will definitely be a big challenge with extremely strong opposition, but we will go out and give our best".
Alister McRae:
"This is one of the all time great rallies of Europe, and it's really exciting for PROTON and myself to be here. It will be a tough rally with 24 other Super 2000 cars running on some very tricky stages. Looking forward to the weekend stages and we will see how it goes."
Tom Cave:
"The car is good and I'm happy with how its running. We managed to try some changes to the setup on the car today which has helped me decide on the final setup I'll be running for the rally."
There are many more interesting pictures on our Official Facebook Page of the town, the service park, the drivers and the overall scene at Ypres Rally so be sure to check those out too. Goodnight for now!
