My Senior spring break
My name is Nikki. and this is the story of my spring break, my senior year in High School. I talked my parents into letting me go out of town for the week. The question now was where? My best friend Jen had agreed to go with me, where ever we picked to go. For whatever reason it seemed like alot of our friends were not going anywhere for spring break,which left us on our own, which was fine with both of us. Both Jen and I are on the school swim team, and have pretty similar builds. I am 5'4", Jen is 5'5", both of us maybe 100lbs. we both have pretty toned bodies, I am a little curvier than Jen, with a C cup and Jen having a large B cup. I have dark hair past my shoulders and Jen is a natural blond with a short bob hair cut. We had decided that since we both are on the swim team, and have the bodies to show for it, we should go somewhere with a good beach. Then it hit me, my older brother Alex. He lived in Florida, and had always said any time I wanted to visit, that all I had to do was call. My brother was ten years older than me, and had moved to Florida about eight years ago, and I hadnt seen him in about seven. So I called him and asked if it would be okay,for me and my friend to come for the week. He sounded excited about it, and agreed that it would be okay for me and Jen to come out. He said, he only had one spare room, would that be alright for the both of us? I told him that would be alright, that Jen and I could share the bed. So off to Florida we went.
When we got off the plane, I was so excited to see Alex, I couldnt wait to start my spring break.
Then I spotted him, wearing a typical Florida attire, Shorts, a tank top and sandals. Maybe it was the excitment of beaing away from home, maybe it had just been along itme sinve I had seen Alex, but he looked great, even Jen whispered under her breath "your brother is hot". And I had to agree with her, Alex is a little over 6' tall, tanned, and the tank top showed off his well defined arms and chest, and even thou his shorts were baggy, I could tell he had pretty firm legs. Alex greeted me with a large hug hello and lifted me off the ground, and gave me a small peck on the cheek. I introduced him the Jen, who kinda shokced him by giving him a big hug, then laughed and said,"just treat me as your other younger sister" Alex agreed and off we went. on the drive back to Alex's house, he told us that he had taken the week off of work, so that if we needed to go anywhere, or needed anything he could help out. He also promised not to get in our way of a good time, unless he thought we needed him to.
We got to my brother house,which was a nice little two bedroom two bath and settled in. Jen and I decided that our first day, we would just go to the beach, and Alex agreed to drive us there.
Jen had already put her little two piece suit on, and went out to to living room to wait for me to get ready. I was a little concerned about wearing such a revealing suit with my brother around, but decided, I'm on spring break,just go for it. I pulled a baggy T shirt over me, for the ride,and when I walked into the living room, there was Jen sitting on the couch talking to Alex, in just her bikkini. i felt a twinge of jealousy, because he seemd to be really into their conversation. I blurrted out that I was ready, and off we went.
When we got to the beach, Jen and I picked out and place to layout, and Alex said he would give us some room, and walked a little ways away from us, he said that he didnt want us to feel like big brother was keeping tabs on them. As we got settled in, I looked over tp where Alex was sitting, he had taken off his shirt,and I could cleary see his six pack abs, I must have been staring for more than I thought, because Alex waved to me, and asked if every thing was okay. i said yes,and went back to checking out the scene. After about an hour of checking out the beach,and the guys, Jen leaned over and asked"so what do you think", I told her I'm geeting pretty hot and dont want to get burned on our first day. She agreed, and said, anyway your brother is the Hottest guy out hear, and I dont want him to catch me looking at him again. Again I thought, what do you mean I asked? Look Nikki, said Jen, your brother is Hot, and we are on spring break, if we cant find me a guy hotter than him, I'll just have to take him. I told her to stop screwing around, and she said,look at him, why wouldnt I want that, besides, I think he was checking me out in the house before we left, when I was wearing just my bikkini. She said, dont worry, I'll tell you all about it, if you want! Stop it I told her. Than I heard Jen say, what the hell? And I looked over at my brothers area, and there were a couple of girls talking to him. Both were tall ,leggy and blonde. They talked for a bit, and then they waived bye. It wasnt long, before another woman came up to Alex and started talking to him, but she left after just a couple minutes. I then leaned over to Jen, and said, let go. I walked over to Alex and he must not have been paying attention, casue he didnt see me walk up on him. When I called his name he was a little startled. Sorry sis, I didnt recognise you, you sure have turned into a pretty woman since I saw you last. I felt flush, even in the hot sun. I told Alex, that Jen and I were ready to go, so we picked up our things and left.
As we walked back into the house, Alex said if you give me a second, one of you can use my shower, so you both can get ready at the same time, instead of taking turns in the shower. Jen and I walked back to our room and gathered our shower stuff, and took of our sand covered suits. We both remarked about our tan lines and then Jen sais, she wished she had larger tits, like mine. I told her thanks, but that I thought her looked very good. She giggled and pushed them together, joking, you mean these. We both laughed. I put on my robe, and told her I would use Alex's shower, and gathered my stuff to leave. I walked towards Alex's room and the door was open, so I assumed that whatever he was doing, he was done, and had left the shower to me. I soon realised I was wrong. I opend the bathroom door, as Alex was walking out of the shower.I couldnt believe it,there was my brother stark naked. we both kinda froze, stunned not knowing what to do. One thing I did notice, was his dick, holy shit was it big. It was hanging almost half way down his thigh, and it was a thick as my wrist. I didnt know what to do, so I screamed out sorry, and ran out of there. When I got back to the room, Jen was still in there, and asked what was I doing. I told what had happend and she started laughing. I told her to stop that it wasnt funny, then she asked what Alex looked like, and I told her again that this isnt funny. She told me to lighten up,it is a little funny, and than I told about Alex's dick. She had a sligh look on her face, and said she knew she should have used the other shower, what do you mean i asked. Jen told me she would have dropped the robe, and used that tool for what it was made for, we both laughed and then I heard Alex call my name. When I walked out, he was dressed, and said the shower was open and I could use it now, like nothing had happened. But I couldnt pretend that nothing had happened, I found myself rubbing my shaved pussy while in the shower. I knew it was my brother I was thinking about, but i couldnt get the thought of his cock out of my mind. First one finger, than two. I rubbed my pussy fast and furiuos until i came, making my knees buckle.
After I came out of the shower, Alex and Jen were sitting in the living room talking, so i sat down next to Jen to join them. Alex asked what we were going to do tonight, ans we both agreed we would stay at his place if that was alright with him. Alex said that was fine, and agreed to make us dinner. Dinner was great, and we talked Alex into letting us drink since we were on spring break. After a couple bottles of wine, we were all felling pretty good. And than Jen dropped the bomb. So Alex, when do I get to see this beast, Nikki tells me you are hiding in your pants. I almost choked on my drink, and I think Alex spit his out, we were both suprised by the question. Alex tried to laugh it off, by saying that accidents happen, but Jen wouldnt let it go. If Nikki got to see it, why cant I? Than Alex said, well I didnt get to see Nikki naked, but you dont see me asking to get even. Jen then said, well I've already seen Nikki naked, it seems only right that I get to see her brother naked. Alex looked confused, than I remined him that, Jen and I are on the swim, team and change in front of each other all the time. Maybe it was the wine talking,or maybe the images of his cock still haunted me, but then I said something I still cant believe. Well, if you did get to see me naked, would you show Jen your dick? Alex looked stunned,and Jen got a wicked smile on her face. Jen jumped over to sit next to Alex, and said to him, She has a great body Alex, you should really see what her tits look like. And Jen started to rub her hand down his thigh. Beofre Alex could mount a protest, I stood up and started to take off the robe I was wearing after my shower. Alex's mouth dropped open as he set down his drink, I could feel his eyes all over me,and I felt warm all over. Next thing I know, Jen is standing next to me, and telling Alex to check out my tits, as she reached from behind me and pushed them together. Tah her hands ran down my stomach and started to caress my ass, she turned me around to face her and then told Alex to look at my tight ass. With that she lightly smacked my ass and then she kissed me deeply.I wasnt expecting either and let out a little squeal.
I looked over at Alex, and could see the confusion in his eyes. I mouthed the word please to him, and then he said, what the hell, it's sping break.He stood up and took of his shirt, and then started on his shorts. He let the shorts fall to the floor, and was there in just his boxers, I swear I could see his cock hanging out the bottom of the leg. Jen was right next to Alex on her knees when he put his thumbs in the waist band to pull his boxers down. And there is was again, Oh dear god,I heard Jen in a husky voice. Before anything was said, Jen had already grabbed his dick with both hands, and there was still plenty of it sticking out. she started stroking it, and I could see it starting to get hard. A few more strokes, and then she tried sucking it, she couldnt put a hand all the way around its thickness, but she wanted to try and get it in her mouth. I was left standing there with one hand on my tits and another buried in my pussy, and then Alex reaahced out a hand for me. I grabbed his hand, and he pulled me close, and we kissed. Not a brohter, sister type of kiss, but a deep passionate kiss. He had one hand wrapped around me holding me close to him, and the other was working it was down to my dripping wet pussy. I looked down as he slid one finger into me, and rubbed his thumb on my clit. It was then I noticed Jen had managed to get the head of Alex's cock into her mouth and was still jacking him with both hands at the same time. I reached down and started to caress Jen's head, I slowly slid down behind her and started to remove her shirt. I started to lift the shirt over her head, so she had to let go of Alex's dick. and it flopped out and up. It was now hard as steel and standing straight up in the air. I removed Jen's shirt and threw it to the side, and then told Alex to lay down on the couch, Alex did as I asked, and i just wet my lips for what was coming. I grabbed his cock, which was laying flat on his stomach, the tip was past his belly button. I could not believe the size, it seemed to have a heart beat of its own. I couldnt believe I was going to fuck my brother, and thats what I had to do now, I needed to feel what that cock could do. I slowly licked the lenght of his cock, all the way down to his balls. His ball were so big and full, I couldnt hold both in one hand. I licked and sucked both of them, and than back up the side of his dick again. while I was getting my brothers cock and balls wet, I could feel myself getting wetter, than I realized that Jen was behind me and had two fingers buried into my pussy. I was still working Alex's dick, when I heard him mona my name. I knew the time had come, I crawled up on top of him and aimed his massive tools at my shaved little slot. Alex helped by grabbing his cock and rubbing the tip all over my entrance, I was plenty wet, and plenty ready. I stared to lower myself onto his cock, and could feel my little pussy start to open. I pushed down and could feel the head enter me, and small orgasim hit me and made me even wetter. Alex looked at me lovingly and said, take your time we have all night. I could feel Jen rubbing her hands on my breasts my body was full of sensations. I treid to push more of his cock into me and felt a twinge of pain, I stopped and tried again. Again the pain of being so full stopped me, I just sat there letting my little pussy adjust to my brother Huge dick. I started to roll my hips a little, and than it hit me, a gaint orgasim that buckeld my legs, I felt more of Alex's cock slide into me and so full. I looked down, and realized that he didnt even have half of his cock in me. Alex must have sensed my need to get it all in, because he picked me up and layed me on my back. With my legs up and over his shoulders he started to move in and out of me. Small strokes at first, letting my pussy get very wet and start to except his size. Alex leaned forward and kissed me hard and then wispered in my ear, you feel so good Nikki. With that I reached back and grabbed his ass and pulled him as hard as I could. He let out a moan of pleasure, and i let out a moan of pain, but I had done it. I could feel him all the way in me. Alex asked if I was okay, and I asked him not to move for a second, just let me get use to it. It felt like he was all the way into my stomach, but I could feel our bodies together,and his balls hanging down heavy against my ass cheeks. I let him know I was ready for more by starting to contract my pussy muslces, he got a smile on his face and lifted off me & started to move in and out of me. Jen, not to be left out gave me a quick kiss, and then sat on my face. Here I was with my brother fucking me, and my best friend wanting me to eat her pussy. So i started to lick her pussy for all I was worth, it was the first time I had tasted a girls pussy, but I knew how I licked mine likced, so I tried do to the same to her. My body was alive with sensations I could not describe, with all that was happening. I felt Jen's legs start to tremble as I brought her to her first orgasim. My face was covered in her juices, and she screamed out in pleasure. Then she said she couldnt wait any longeand that Alex had to feed that cock into her. Alex asked if that was okay with me, and I told him it was only fair if she got a turn.
Jen was still sitting opn my face, she just leaned foward over the edge of the couch, offering her ass to my brother. I felt him remove his cock from me, leaving a void that I would soon need to refill.He crwaled over me to line up his tool with Jen's pussy. I reached from underneath the help him out. We both had a hand on his cock as he lined up the tip, with Jen's entrance. I used my other hand to spread her lips apart for him. He started to push into her, and she let out a scream. Oh my god he is thick she yelled, I switched from her lips and started to rub her clit. I could see the juices flowing from her, as her pussy was trying to accept Alex's dick. I used my other hand to tickle Alex's balls, this made him pick up his pace, with both of his hands on Jen's hip he started to thrust into her, He wasnt a gentle with her as he was with me, but Jen did not seem to mind. I could hear Jen screaming,"oh god, give me all of you big dick". With that Alex pulled alost all the way out and pushed all the way back into Jen. Who accepted it with a deep groan."oh shit my pussy" screamed Jen. "I've got all your cock in me, now really use that big thing" she stammered. And then Alex really went to work on her. Long strokes, short strokes, deep, hard, he was giving her all she could handle.I started licking her pussy and Alex's balls on the deep strokes and this sent Jen into overdrive."Oh Nikki, I'm going to cum on your brothers big dick, please dont stop licking my pussy, I'm so close" And with that she clenched up, her whole body went stiff and then her pussy started squirt."Oh,dont pull your cock out yet" she screamed as her hips started to buck. More juice came out of her pussy as she flooded my face. She calmed down, and Alex slowly pulled his cock from my friends sopping pussy. It seemed to come out for ever, until it was finally all the way out, with a pop. Jen's pussy was still dripping while she slid off me.
Alex looked in my eye's and asked if I was ready for more. I told him to bring in, because I needed more of his dick. He slid in a little easier this time, but I still felt stuffed my his size."Nikki your pussy is so tight" he groaned. I had never felt so good in my whole life, as my own brother worked his cock in and out of me.'Alex , dont stop, your big cock is going to make me come again" "Sis, you pussy feels so good, I could do this for ever" Jen had recovered and started to kiss me, and this sent my body into overload."All of your cock Alex I need it all in me now" Alex obeyed and shoved all of his oversized cock deep into me. I stared to cum, and buck and shake like nothing i have ever felt before. Alex held on for the ride, unitl i calmed down. Once I had relaxed both Jen and I realized that Alex had not cum yet. Poor guy, said Jen, all that cock, and still hasnt got to shoot his load yet."Maybe you could both help with that he said" As he walked to the bedroom, his dick showing the way. When we got to the room he laid us both down side by side on the edge of the bed. Our legs hanging over the edge as he started to take turns in and out of both of us. A couple strokes in Jen than a couple strokes in me.Jen and I were fingering eachothers pussies hard and fast. While Alex took long deep strokes into both of us. Alex had his cock buried in Jen when she pulled both of her legs behind her head,giving Alex more penatration than ever. "I think Jen is trying to make me cum Nikki" Alex groaned."I better get some more before that happens" Alex pulled his long cock from my friend and looked deep into my eyes."I need you to take me home Nikki, please help me finish""Oh Alex, I need your fat cock again before you cum,all the way,dont play around,give me all of it" I screamed. And boy did he, with a powerfull push, he threw all he had into me, sending me over the edge again. I knew he was close as he started pumping fast and not pulling all the way out.""Nikki, your going to make me cum, I cant hold back any longer, your going to make me cum so hard!""Show me Alex, show me how much cum you have for me.Show me what we did to you" With that Alex pulled his hard cock from my pussy, and started to stroke it.Still wet with mine and and Jen's juices hand slid quickly over his cock, now as hard as ever, right on the edge of no return.I reached down to feel his balls, and as I did, I felt them contract, and then it started. The first shot was powerfull, as his cum splattered across my tits, but the second went even farther, hitting me right on the face. Another one shot out, and this one Jen caught on her face. But he didnt stop,Alex kept stroking and his cum kept flowing, Eight,Nine,Ten shots, all just as powerfull as the first."Oh Nikki, you and Jen are driving me crazy" As he kept stroking his long beatiful cock. By now Jen and I were covered in my brothers thick cum, as we started to lick it off eachother. Alex collapsed next to me one the bed, all us us covered in sweat. "jees, sis if I knew your vacations were like this, I would have asked you to come out before""I know brother, and think, this is just the first day of our spring break!"

all the good comments are either from underage virgins or the writer himself. they are the only ones that would like trash like this. delete all stories and rewrite them after you graduate grade school and find a good editor before posting any more trash.

Mary Gowland is the owner of the Amusement Park. He carries a light string instrument with him and insists on playing it, to the horror of everyone around. Gowland hates Blood because Blood told everyone his real name. He also dislikes Boris for dripping blood on the floor. He is good friends with Boris and Julius Monrey and is often very laid back. He loves music even though he can't play music to save his life. His name is supposed to be a pun off of 'Merry-go-round' since the engrish pronunciation of his name is 'Mary Gowrand'. This is why he didn't want anyone to know his first name and is preferably called 'Gowland'. He's based on the Duchess in Alice in Wonderland.

Alice Liddell- Like every other male in Wonderland, he likes her but is also a friend.
Blood Dupre- An enemy he despises because he told everyone his first name (Mary)
Pierce Villiers- Doesn't mind him being around. He respects Pierce enough to try and restrain Boris.

I've my oral next week, what topics should I prepare for if I was to narrow it down? What's most likely to be asked?
the usual my self, family, area, house, housework, school, future career, last and next summer, easter,what you want to do after the leaving cart and TY if you did it
@LaurenMoore okay thanks!
also if she says 'parlez-moi de vous' make sure you talk about yourself like you appearance and your personailty becauce most people say theyre name and age and start talking about theyre family which is not what they asked, which leads you to loosing marks for not answering the question properly, so just be careful of that
Everything Lauren said and what you do/did/will do on the weekend. know TV, sport, music, cinema they're basically guaranteed! You must know a conditional answer because they HAVE to ask you one. A subjunctive would be good to know as well but they can't ask you it so it's on you to bring it into an answer to get extra marks! Know your Typical school day and some sentence's on abstract topics like alcohol, drugs, fashion, obesity, technology, environment etc because they usually ask on one or two of them.
Good luck, you'll do super!
Oh and if you've been to France, they ask loads of people that, and you'll have to say what you visited, differences between France and Ireland and differences in school in the two countries
@Orlait thank you!!
I'm a bit apprehensive. I did pretty flood in my oral but fumbled at 2 places. In each case I couldn't think of the appropriate verb. I managed to carry on however. The worst fumble was where I told her that I like reading. I wanted to say that when I read novels, I get better marks in English. In reality, I blanked out, and got through the awkwardness by using the verb avoir instead of to get. Everything else went pretty well. Would any of u know what my likely result would be?
That was meant to be pretty good

Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Motorized Transport to Trailhead:
Mount Moosilauke
USA-New Hampshire
4802 ft / 1463 m
Ascent Trip Report
this was my my first hike during the duration of school, my buddy and i decided to hike up this mountain because it was so close to my school (Plymouth State). We set off at 9:30 am and summited around 12:30, It started out as a gradual incline, then once you hit the Cascades (which were beautiful i might add) it starts to get steep. It wasn't super bad but it rained a few days back so the rocks where a bit slick. So if you are coming up the Beaver brook trail watch out for those slippery rocks. It wasn't a far hike into the summit there was a few shelter areas which i thought was pretty neat. also if you have time and are just out bagging peaks go out and bag (blue, Jim, and waternomee) there really close and worth it. the summit had a fantastic view! there was a 1/2 mile open ridge 360 degree view until the summit, there are some great trails up this hike and i would love to do it again, great waterfalls/cascades, great view, great trail, shelters, cant beat it. overall i would say this is a bit harder than some might expect, be aware of the map for some they say it is rugged in some spots, don't take this lightly be aware and watch your footing. i wouldn't however recommend this to beginner hikers i would say its more mid level/ mid experience type but hey anyone can do it if they take there time... after all one more down for the 4,000 footers!

Where Is Jeff Dancing in Iowa?
Anamosa resident Jeff Hoskinson logged 9,850 miles and collected 300 dancing clips while visiting each of Iowa's 99 counties from February to November of this year.
He did the same thing in 2007, and here is that video. Between 2007 and 2008, he drove somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000 miles.
Here is a video from a WHO-TV newcast of March 3, 2008, explaining why Jeff took on such an adventure.

Rock Band KISS is playing at the Target Center this Saturday Night! The Superstar Rock Band has had decades of hits and this tour promises to be one of the best the band has had in years. KISS Tickets are a hot buy but there are still great KISS Tickets out there, I found great Lower Level Seats near the stage for around $100 at Ticket King, which has an office really close to the Target Center perfect for scooping up your KISS Tickets at right before you head to the concert!

Walking is one of the most natural and effective forms of exercise. Take a look at the range of benefits you can enjoy from taking a walk along your local canal or river.
Not only does it put you in touch with the waterways and the natural environment, walking is suitable for people of all ages and is an activity which all the family can enjoy together. More importantly, walking makes you feel good.
Walking is good for you because:
Experts now say that walking for 30 minutes a day is enough to improve fitness levels. That may seem a lot, but walking can easily be accommodated into your every day routine and your 30 minute goal can be broken down into three easily managed ten minute bouts.
GP Dr Philippa Moreton has made a generous donation to improve a local waterside walk which her practice, Wendover Health Centre, is 'prescribing' to help patients lower their blood pressure, fight depression and combat chronic lung conditions.
Plenty of evidence suggests that simply being near to water makes people more content and relaxed - so what better place to exercise and spend your leisure time than alongside a canal or river?
With over 2,000 miles of walking routes and links to thousands of miles of footpaths, the Canal & River Trust's towpaths provide peaceful havens in towns and cities across the UK. The network offers excellent walking routes for leisurely strolls or long-distance hikes.
Over half the UK population lives within five miles of a canal or river, so it couldn't be easier to take to the towpaths and enjoy the health benefits of a waterside walk.
If you're new to walking or just fancy some company, why not join one of the many guided walks which take place around the river and canal network all year round. Take a look at our events diary for more details.

The body of the senator, whose death from brain cancer was announced on Wednesday, will travel on Thursday more than 70 miles from his Cape Cod home at Hyannis Port to Boston, where he will lie in repose in a presidential library he helped develop in tribute to one of his slain brothers.
Family members will attend a private Mass at Sen Kennedy's Hyannis Port compound at noon, local time, and the motorcade is scheduled to leave an hour later.
It will pass sites that were significant to the senator on the way to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, where his body will lie in repose until Friday.
The motorcade will go by St Stephen's Church, where his mother, Rose, was baptised and her funeral Mass celebrated; cross the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, the Boston park he helped create and is named after his mother; pass historic Faneuil Hall, where the Boston mayor, Thomas Menino, will repeatedly ring the bell; and then move by the site of Sen Kennedy's first office as an assistant district attorney.
A military honour guard will join members of his family, friends and current and former staff to stand vigil around the clock as thousands are expected to file past the closed casket to pay their respects. The library will remain open until the last person comes through. Several large photographs will be in the room, showing the senator at different stages of his life.
An invitation-only memorial service will be held at the library on Friday evening. On Saturday, President Barack Obama will speak at a private funeral mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica - commonly known as the Mission Church - in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood.
A church official said former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush also are expected to attend the Mass at the cavernous basilica built in 1878.
Sen Kennedy prayed at the basilica every day in 2003 as his daughter, Kara, was successfully treated for lung cancer at a nearby hospital. The church eventually became a place of hope and optimism for the senator, especially during his year-long battle with brain cancer before he died.
Sen Kennedy will be buried on Saturday evening near his brothers - former President Kennedy and former Sen Robert F. Kennedy - at the Arlington National Cemetery, in Virginia. Other family members buried on the famous hillside include former first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and the former president's baby son, Patrick, who died after two days.
Kennedy is eligible for burial at Arlington because of his service in Congress as well as his two years in the Army from 1951 to 1953. He was a private first class and served in the military police at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, located at that time in Paris.
On Wednesday night, the Lightship Nantucket - the vessel that marked limits of the dangerous Nantucket Shoals in Massachusetts for more than 150 years - pulled up outside the Kennedy compound as dusk fell and illuminated the late senator's schooner as a tribute.

I have been trying to write a code for my project wherein i need to go to a website search for sequences related to mouse strains and save the data on resulting page in a text file.Earlier i was trying to use Mechanize but then after reading I realized it is not good with javascripts. So i am using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. Well, there is more than one INPUT TYPE=Button with a value of ">>" A better idea would be to match against onClick attribute or complain to whomever programmed that page to add ID's or name's to each button, they have a contact form or use some bioperl module to access that page, because data appears available for download and http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Gbrowse says it uses Gbrowse, surely there must be an interface for scraping Gbrowse already :)

Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnear will join the growing number of unorthodox TV protagonists when he introduces viewers to criminal attorney Keegan Deane, his lead role on the new Fox series "Rake." The one hour legal drama premieres tonight at 8 p.m. CT.
"Rake" is created, written, and executive-produced by Peter Duncan, who created the original Australian series. Both chronicle the adventures of the brilliant lawyer who perpetually makes not-so-brilliant lifestyle choices. According to a review in the New York Times, however, the American version is more lighthearted than the original, to better adapt to "American optimism."

How To Become A Prolific Writer
But then I realised these writers had traits in common. They follow a strict routine. They probably write everyday. They write regularly so they always have a constant flow of ideas floating around their head.
They probably write after using an outline to map out ideas. (Before you pantsers send me hatemail to object to this, I'm going to insert a clause here to say I know this isn't always the case but I am an outline writer so I'll stick to what I know). Writers who outline say once they've finished they just have to fill in the blanks in their first draft. They write their first draft to get the story down on paper. Then they go back to edit and rewrite it while ignoring the voice of self doubt that tells them their writing is rubbish. Through ignoring this voice they continue to put pen to paper, thus improving their confidence. They just sit down and write, producing one book after another.
If you really, really want to write you'll always find a way. I know one writer who took ten years to finish his first novel. Now it's available in a major U.K. bookstore. People who make excuses why they don't write all have one thing in common: their heart really isn't in it. They use the excuse of being too busy with other things in their life so that's why they fail to write. Sometimes I think you can write better with a little bit of outside pressure. There's just enough stress to get you focused. I know I can write more efficiently when I have a looming deadline in front of me.
Are you a prolific writer?
9 comments:
Love what you've written. I am a prolific writer, and can't stop. I suddenly have an idea that comes into my mind, and I have to write immediately. I have no set timetable to write, but am writing constantly - every day - for several hours. I agree with you, if you are passionate about writing, then you will always find time to write. Wishing you success in all your projects.
ReplyDeleteHi I love to write, but sometimes I just do not have time. It is so stressful because I want to write, just so many other things get on my way. I market my book myself to so many places and run my other business. Maybe if I had to go to work for someone else, I would have more time to write.
Good luck and nice to meet you, DianaHi Dianna,
I know what you mean there! Sometimes when I have the best ideas for my writing it's also one of the busiest times in my life and I cannot get to write. It's so frustrating but then I wait for that time to pass and when first opportunity strikes I'll go back to my writing.
Hi Geek Girl,
Thanks for reading my post and nice to meet you too.
Hi Peter,
I have never worked on more than one book at a time as I think this requires too much focus and I'm not sure whether I can spread myself out that much. Maybe some writers can do it but I know that I'm probably not one of them. Thanks for commenting - I'm glad you found this post useful and good luck with the writing!I work well with a deadline though I'd prefer a more laid back pace. My heart is in the writing, but it's not always in the works I should be writing on the most.

Apple objects to e-book monitor's $69K/week pay, interview demands
Apple has filed a formal objection against the compliance monitor in the recent e-book price-fixing lawsuit, crying foul over the attorney's alleged $69,000 weekly fees. The company's legal team also claims the monitor, Michael Bromwich, has exceeded his authority by demanding interviews with board members and executives, such as design head Jony Ive and board member Al Gore, who are not involved in the business unit affected by the court decision.

 "Apple has diligently accommodated Mr. Bromwich's premature and inappropriate demands, but it has become clear over the past six weeks that Mr. Bromwich views himself as an independent investigator whose role is to interrogate Apple personnel about matters unrelated to the injunction in an effort to ferret out any wrongdoing, all at Apple's expense," reads the complaint, which was posted by AllThingsD.

 Bromwich fired back in a letter to CEO Tim Cook and the board of directors, claiming that the company has "not been responsive" to its court-ordered obligations. He argues that Apple is attempting to "manage [his team's] relationship as though we are its outside counsel or consultant, to whom it can dictate terms and conditions," and calls for more access to liaisons that is "unfiltered" by the company's legal team.

 Apple is currently attempting to appeal the court's initial decision. |
$69,000 a week! Assuming a 40-hour week, that's $1,725 an hour or over 215 times the state's minimum wage. Even for the legal profession, that's excessive.
Keep in mind the context, This lawyer is court-appointed to make sure that Apple doesn't engage in the dastardly crime of charging someone $10.99 for an ebook that's 'supposed' to be $9.99. Somehow, I can't imagine this lawyer caring a rip about anything unethical going on at Apple. Also, keep in mind that the money he collects will ultimately come out of our pockets when we buy from Apple or from the value of stocks of those who're not nearly as rich as this lawyer undoubtedly. This guy is, quite literally, robbing poor widows. Perhaps the only thing that exceeds his greed is his strange moral arrogance. My sympathies are entirely with Apple in this one. The judge should fire this jerk and do so quickly. |
Inkling hit the nail on the head. And lawyers wonder why they're so hated...
While Amazon continues to control the market. Something is wrong here. Blatantly wrong.
If he's trying to interview Jony Ive, it's clear he's not doing his job--the man has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the book-selling arm of Apple apart from oversight of the UI team that does app design.
And that's before you get to the fact that he's charging $69K a week to do it. Oversight, fine, but I'd be cheesed if I were Apple, too. And like Jubeikiwagami said, Amazon still holds a near-monopoly in the market... |
I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds like something that could get him disbarred.

Medicaid Expansion Is Working in Cleveland
Carmen Smith remembers the day about a year ago she gained Medicaid coverage.
"It was like Christmas Day, it was like getting a gift from Santa Claus!" she says. "People don't realize how important and how special it is to have insurance to be able to go see a doctor on a regular basis when you have an illness like mine."
Smith has Type 2 diabetes. Before qualifying for Medicaid coverage, she was what policy experts call a "frequent flier." She had used the emergency room five times in one year.
She bought insulin over the counter, guessed at her dosage and frequently got sick.
"I remember one instance when my sugars were up and I felt like I was having a heart attack. So it was like heart palpitations. And I ended up staying in the emergency room's 24-hour observation department," Smith says.
That kind of triage care is expensive. Smith couldn't pay the bills but she made too much to qualify for Medicaid.
Enter MetroHealth – a public hospital based in Cleveland. For years, the facility struggled to cover the costs of patients like Smith.
So long before Ohio expanded Medicaid, the hospital redirected more than $30 million from Cuyahoga County taxpayers to create its very own Medicaid program for residents.
Here's how it worked: MetroHealth used extensive electronic medical records to carefully select uninsured patients and sent 28,000 of them Medicaid cards before they even applied. Then, the hospital gave highly personalized attention to some patients and kept track of them.
The results from the first nine months are in, said Dr. Randy Cebul, a researcher at MetroHealth.
"All of the clinical outcomes are really amazing," he says.
Cebul says they focused on a subset of 18,000 patients like Smith who came to the hospital a lot.
"The diabetes outcomes were probably the most impressive," Cebul says. "The sugar control, the blood pressure control, the lipid control, virtually everything was much better and dramatically so."
The hospital also assigns each patient a nurse. That nurse books their appointments, calls them if they miss one and checks to make sure they took their medications.
In nine months, emergency department visits dropped 60 percent and primary care visits went up 50 percent.
The hospital also ended up spending less than it budgeted, saving an average of $150 on each patient every month.
"Better care, better outcomes, better costs," Cebul says.
Outside of Cleveland, a handful of cities and states expanded Medicaid earlier than the rest of the nation. But results haven't always been so promising.
In Oregon, for example, emergency department use went up when patients got Medicaid, not down.
They ran their experiment differently, essentially giving Medicaid coverage on a random basis while leaving others uninsured. And they didn't do any of the oversight that Cleveland did. (A subsequent large scale effort to coordinate care in Oregon has achieved promising early results.)
Matt Salo leads the National Association of Medicaid Directors. He says no one program will have all the answers. Instead, at a time when health reform is changing the way patients everywhere are treated, Salo says, there's a lot at stake in trying to figure out what works.
"You know we've got 50-plus states who are out there actively trying to steal best practices and good ideas and reform principals from other states," he says.
But Carmen Smith knows this is working for her. She recalls how before getting Medicaid she was using a scooter to shop at Wal-Mart. Now, she's rides her bike to get around town.
"I'm really excited 'cause I'm doing a good job. I feel so good about myself. I get off my bike and I'm like out of breath. I'm not tired." Smith says.
She says she can't wait to call her nurse and talk about blood sugar levels.

text: Video Games Aren't Killing Laser Tag, They Can CoexistJason Bock5/15/10 2:00pmFiled to: Republishedlaser tagop-edGuest editorialHaloTopOriginal3401EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink As a 25-year player of Laser Tag and a manager of the busiest Laser Tag arena on the planet, I took some exception to the idea that Laser Tag is obsolete as entertainment because it's not convenient. Far from dying away, our center has seen a grand resurgence in a tough economy. We're up around 30% so far for 2010. Last Friday night, we averaged 27 players in our arena for every session from 7pm until 2:30 am in the morning. It was a modestly busy evening for us (we can run 46 players per session). Advertisement Advertisement As an industry, the number of laser tag facilities has been stable in North America for quite a few years. www.wheretoplaylasertag.com lists 760 arenas in the United States and Canada.The industry is mature here. For every bad center that might close, someone builds something bigger and better to replace it on average.These realities hardly seem to be the harbinger of doom for our industry. Sponsored So how are these experiences so different from what Kotaku editor Brian Crecente experienced locally?It's pretty easy to get the idea that Laser Tag is doomed when you play at a low quality location. What if the only video game you ever played was Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust or Big Rigs Over the Road Racing. You would probably think video games were doomed, too.All Laser Tag places are not equal. Advertisement Laser Tag is very different from video games. As a video game player, you have access to thousands of game titles. If you want to play laser tag locally, there are few places with more than 2-3 arenas in a 25-mile radius.Also, many casual players think "laser tag is laser tag." You may not realize that there have been about 50 commercial manufacturers of gear, producing multiple generations of equipment. Add into the equation that some locations take care of the gear and some treat it like a dustball under their bed. Advertisement I'm sure many reader may think laser tag is mostly or just for kids. Again, this depends on how you run your facility. Kids and birthday parties are easy to find, so some laser tag arenas focus on them.But, it doesn't have to be that way. Our facility and many others just like it cater to adults. At least half our business is from adult players. We have a full bar, a giant 9200 square foot multi-level laser tag arena. We're open until 2 a.m. on weekends. Our facility is a place where adults (and kids) can have a great time.Comparing Halo to Laser Tag is a bit of an "apples and oranges" comparison. While both are entertainment, they aren't really related. Players mostly play video games alone or in small groups in their homes. Advertisement People play video games all the time, but they might play laser tag a couple of times a year. That's fine. Both video games and laser tag can exist in that framework.As long as people like socializing and getting together with their friends, they will enjoy out-of-home entertainment experiences like laser tag. And right now, they are coming to our facility in Buffalo, NY. Advertisement Pick a great place to play and try it out.Jason "The Laser Tag Guy" Bock started playing laser tag at the first Photon in Dallas, Texas in 1984. He has played competitively ever since. He is the author of three books on running entertainment businesses and currently is the Director of Marketing for LaserTron, an entertainment complex in the Buffalo, NY area. LaserTron runs the longest running and busiest laser tag arena in North America.Reply340 repliesLeave a reply

Financial Intermediation, Liquidity and Inflation
This paper develops a search-theoretic model to study the interaction between banking and monetary policy and how this interaction affects the allocation and welfare. Regarding how banking affects the welfare costs of inflation: First, we find that, with banking, inflation generates smaller welfare costs. Second, we show that, lowering inflation improves welfare not just by reducing consumption/production distortions, but also by avoiding intermediation costs. Therefore, understanding the nature of intermediation cost is critical for accurately assessing the welfare gain of lowering the inflation target. Regarding how monetary policy affects the welfare effects of banking: First, banking always improves efficiency of production, but the banking technology has to be efficient to improve welfare (especially in low inflation economy). Second, welfare effects of banking depend on monetary policy. For low inflation, banking is not active. For high inflation, banking is active and improves welfare. For moderate inflation, banking is active but reduces welfare. Owing to general equilibrium feedback, banking is supported in equilibrium even though welfare is higher without banking.

Caller: "Yeah, my cable box in my bed room is not working."
Me: "Okay, I can talk a look at that for you. How is it not working?"

Me: "It looks like we will need to get a tech out there to replace the box."
Caller: "Why"?
(I try to explain that the box is refusing the signal and that we need to switch the box. This goes on for five minutes before I give up and try an alternative answer…)
Me: "Um… the box has gone rogue and is no longer taking instructions from us. We need to bring it back in for training."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Huyssen, Inc., licensed to use the registered service mark Sedona Staffing and the Sedona Group, agreed to pay $920,000 and implement preventive measures to settle a variety of discrimination charges filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
"We are pleased that Huyssen and Sedona Group worked cooperatively with the EEOC to reach a resolution that will correct and prevent discrimination in recruitment and hiring," said Marla Stern-Knowlton, director of the EEOC's San Diego Local Office.
The settlement resolves six EEOC discrimination charges filed between 2007 and 2009 alleging that the staffing firm engaged in a pattern and practice of classifying and failing to refer job applicants in San Diego based on their race, color, sex, national origin, age or disability.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Without admitting liability, Huyssen and Sedona agreed to enter into a five-year conciliation agreement with the EEOC and alleged victims, thereby avoiding litigation. The settlement includes a class fund for currently unidentified victims who also suffered similar discrimination during the relevant time period.
Potential claimants will include men and women of various races and national origins, individuals 40 years of age and older, and those with disabilities, who applied for referral employment through Huyssen, Inc. of San Diego during the period of March 1, 2007 - May 31, 2008. Within the next four months, the Claims Administrator will be issuing claims packets to potential claimants. Website links for the Claims Administrator will also be posted on the EEOC and Sedona Staffing of San Diego websites.
Aside from the monetary relief, Huyssen agreed to provide annual equal employment opportunity (EEO) and diversity training to all employees at its San Diego location, with an emphasis on non-discriminatory referral and hiring procedures. Huyssen also agreed to hire an independent EEO consultant to assist the company in revising its EEO policies and complaint procedures, training and compliance with the agreement.
Eliminating barriers in recruitment and hiring, especially class-based recruitment and hiring practices that discriminate against racial, ethnic and religious groups, older workers, women, and people with disabilities, is one of six national priorities identified by the Commission's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Cavs sign West to 2 year contract.
CLEVELAND (AP)Two prolonged contract holdouts early last season hurt the Cleveland Cavaliers, damaging their chances of getting back to the NBA finals.
They made sure it wouldnt happen again.
The club signed restricted free agent guard Delonte West to a two-year contract Friday, a deal that includes a third-year club option for 2011-12.
Financial terms were not immediately known. West and his representatives had been seeking a deal worth $5 millon per season.
West was acquired last season from Seattle as part of the three-team, 11-player megatrade before the Feb. 21 deadline. Filling a major void at point guard, the 6-foot-3 West averaged 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 26 starts for the Cavaliers.
He was one of Clevelands best players during the postseason, averaging 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 13 games for the Cavs, who pushed the NBA champion Boston Celtics to seven games before losing in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Cavs didnt want a repeat of last year when forwards Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic, both restricted free agents, held out of training camp. They eventually signed deals, but when they came back both players struggled getting into shape, got injured and the Cavaliers chemistry was affected by their absences.
The 25-year-old West can play either position in the backcourt. He will likely back up point guard Mo Williams, who was acquired in a trade this summer from Milwaukee. West could also get time at shooting guard along with Daniel Gibson, another restricted free agent signed by the Cavaliers during the offseason.
Hes a tremendous defender and hes about what we want to be about on that end of the floor, Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said.
Ferry said Wests decision to work out at the Cavaliers training facility this summer assured both sides that he wanted to stay in Cleveland.
It was a very healthy thing for the process. It kept the relationship on a good, positive level, Ferry said. He wanted to be part of what were working toward. Weve said all along that we want Delonte on this team. Hes a good player and can make us a better team.
Ferry is excited about Clevelands potential this season. Williams will give the Cavaliers a second, bona fide perimeter scoring threat to complement superstar LeBron James.
We have guys who really love to play and love to compete, Ferry said. We have really good depth everywhere and we have a solid balance of youth and experience.
