The Indian IT Industry—the Naukri that Promises a Flourishing Career
When speaking about the Indian naukri, we are bound to speak about the IT burst that India is facing. The IT field is expanding in a multitude of directions and is making substantial progress, leading to the emergence of new places of employment, because of the need to hire more and more IT resources to sustain and increase the growth rate. Hence, the increased necessity of hiring skilled professionals in all streams of the IT sector should not be surprising us.
People can build flourishing careers in IT departments like:
- IT education and training
- Computer programming
- Software development and software engineering
- Database administration
- Network system and data communication analysis
- Technical writing and content development
- Technical support
- Hardware design
- System administration
- Web development
- Quality assurance
- Call center support
- Internet and Intranet development
- E-commerce
- Help desk/end user support
There are so many fields of work that wait for the right people to come and occupy them! You can see how the IT department has maximum potential.
Fresh graduates, project managers, team leaders- all get to have a viable opportunity when applying for a naukri in the IT department. The current situation is a blessing for any IT professional and gives job seekers promising career options. But, along with amazing possibilities, comes the extremely tough competition.
Here are some tricks you may want to follow if you want to have your success guaranteed:
1. Review your skills
It is vital to know what your skills and qualifications are, so that you can find the most suitable companies that are looking for employees with a similar skill set. Not all IT companies are looking for the same profile, so in order to justify your efforts you should only apply for the jobs you are qualified for.
2. Make a professional resume that shows you are competent for that naukri
Keywords are essential: Java, C++, SQL and so on; all of them can help you be chosen by the recruiter when he searches the job sites for the perfect IT candidates.
Also, begin your resume with a summary, which briefly includes your skills and work experience; this way, you will make sure none of your qualities pass unnoticed and you will also get to make the recruiter interested to read more about you.
There is no need to say you should at any costs avoid any grammatical or language errors; they are a proof of ineffectiveness.
3. Show that you are really interested in the company's policy
When applying for a naukri, you must make sure you let them know you are aware of the way the company works, of their plans, of their development tendency and you know what software and programming languages they use; this should get you a job in the Indian IT field.

There have been numerous articles and statements written about the extra-judicial killings that have occurred in the Philippines since 2001 under the regime of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The Philippine-based human rights organization, Karapatan, has been at the forefront of documenting these crimes. But the investigations don't come without roadblocks, especially from those who are the perpetrators of the abuses. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are supposed to protect the people from threats foreign and domestic, but several organizations have stated that they do the exact opposite. Human Rights Watch has issued reports ("Scared Silent" & "Universal Periodic Review of the Philippines" to name a couple) on the human rights situation and directs blame towards elements of the AFP. The PNP allows these acts to continue because of their lack of action and prosecution of the killers. UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings Philip Alston stated in his report that: "The AFP remains in a state of almost total denial".
With all that said, it is important to remember those who came before us. During these past eight years, three members of LFS in the Philippines have been killed and one more kidnapped and still missing. We seek to remember them and their work. Though we are the only LFS chapter in the U.S., there is a special bond we have with the LFS chapters in the Philippines. Our conditions are different, but the reasons why we joined are similar. We struggle with being a student and organizer, balancing the work with our daily lives, connecting with our peers who seem to have the big picture no where within their vision. While we are thousands of miles apart, we are all members of the LFS, all youth and students, all apart of the National Democratic movement, all fighting for true liberation for all oppressed people around the world. We will continue to fight for peoples' basic right to change their oppressive conditions.

This really is the best skin creme I have ever used!My skin has been blemish free and radiant since I started using this. My pores have diminished and my skin has a glow about it. I never want to be without this! It is well worth the money!

Love this product
By Cheryl
from Toronto
I love the way this moisturizer smells, and how wonderful my skin looks. I don't have anymore problems with my skin breaking out with blemishes. Even with me having sensitive eyes, I have no problems with this product. I just wish the bottle was clear so that I could see how much I had left so that I could re-order before running out completely.

A Woman of a certain age
By A Woman of a certain age...
from Ontario
This all in one moisturiser is simply the best. At first I globbed on way too much, which made my skin rather sticky and tacky to the touch. A friend of mine told me not to use so much, and I actually listened to her!! Lucky it has a nice light fresh fragrance (not heavy like alot of other moisturisers) or else I would have smelt like an air freshener walking into the room when at first I used way too much. So, at first 3 pumps, then 2 pumps, now only 1 pump!! It moisturises my face and neck to perfection. I have also noticed that my rosacea on my cheeks has diminished!! I ain't no spring chicken any more so really appreciate the all in one approach. No fuss. No Muss. Perfect.
The PERFECT Product!
By Javril
I've used this product for five years and it is still my favourite. It's everything you need in one bottle. It's a night and day cream, face, neck and eye treatment. It truly is the perfect product.
Mèreadesso All-In-One Moisturizer
By Stacey
from Montreal
Love this product, I can't go a day without it! It leaves my skin fresh and healthy looking, even in the dead of winter. If you have really dry skin and need a one-stop remedy, the Mèreadesso all-in-one moisturizer is the best way to go. It completely changed the look and feel of my face and has been a life-saver!
By FitnessGirl
from Montreal, Quebec
This moisturizer leaves my skin feeling silky smooth every time I use it. One of my favourite features would have to be that it primes my skin before applying make up. I love the matte finish and even tone I have before touching it up with cover up, foundation or powder. I am in my late twenties so giving my skin as much moisture as possible to maintain its elasticity for as long as possible is one of my primary concerns. This Mereadesso product minimizes fine lines while replenishing my skin from its dull dry appearance during the winter months - definitely worth a try! I would highly recommend this moisturizer to any woman of any age :)
All-In-One Moisturizer = Simple
By Vic the busy mom
I have been using this product for 6 months now and I am happy to say I noticed a difference in my skin almost right away. My skin always feels soft and moisturized whether I use it in the winter or summer. It also feels super light weight and silky when I apply it, so I find that I don't need to use very much of it to spread it on evenly over my face, neck and eye area. I love that I no longer have to use different products in the morning and night and around my eyes. It has made getting ready really simple. I also use the cleanser and love it!
unique product
By Jen's place
I have been using this product for three years now and there is nothing else like it. It makes my skin dewey and smooth. It is lightly scented but not overly harsh on my sensitve skin. It has a slight exfolliating effect. I love this moisturizer I also use the cleanser.

No Need For Other Moisturizers
By Mom On the Go
I've been VERY pleased with Mereadesso's Moisturizer since starting to use it last summer. It's lightweight, long lasting, covers all skin zones (dry, normal & oily areas) and it spreads very easily, meaning you don't need to use much each time. I can use it both in the morning and at night and through summer and winter. My skin looks brighter and feels great. In the past, I've struggled to find a good moisturizer that can do what I need it to do ... but I think I've now found it.

Well, I guess they will have Wolff do it, since Bottas has Friday testing and is as good as confirmed for 2013.
Would have been nice if Bottas could have got a regular drive this season (e.g. in GP2 or WSR). Being a test driver means so little at the moment, he'd gain more from competition. He'll just have to pray for Maldonado to get a cold I suppose.

Senate Predictions Part II (Districts 13-24)
Friday, October 5, 2012
When last we broached the subject of New Hampshire State Senate predictions, we came out with a 6-6 party split in Districts 1-12. Let's focus on the final 12 districts here and see how Republicans should hold on to their Senate majority, albeit with only a 13-11 edge. Only four or five races should be close, but it becomes increasingly obvious that they could prove pivotal. Districts 18, 20, and 24 fall into that category. |

Something bad has happened in the garden. The once happy garden gnomes have been infected by a strange virus which has turned them into flesh eating monsters. There are only a few survivors left who are desperately trying to stay alive.
This is a sorry sight indeed. A poor helpless Lawn Flamingo has been taken down by zombie gnomes: Nose-less Ned, Greedy Gary, and Bartolomeu.It seems like an unlikely kill until Bartolomeu broke the elegant beasts leg and brought it crashing to the ground. Where they pounced upon their helpless victim and began their feast. So we say "Bye Bye Birdie, I'm going to miss you so, Bye Bye Birdie, Why'd you have to go?"

Bronck's Mystery Shows and Midway EZ Read
The sky above the Baltimore Fair Grounds was brightly lit tonight by the thousands of electric light bulbs glowing, displaying a myriad of games and rides. A mother and father walked with their young girl between them as they moved along with the crowd. The little one's head swung wildly to and fro; everywhere she looked could be seen Barkers in their booths calling out to passersby to spend a nickel on their games, Performers and curiosities displaying great feats of talent and charisma, and Roustabouts bringing life to another round of the amusement machines.
The family drifted to a brightly lit booth next to a performer's tent, filled with bottles arranged in a delta with signs of "One throw- one penny" posted on the counter. The girl wandered a few paces off while her father received five rings for a nickle, intent to win his sweetheart one of the teddy bears hanging on the wall. A giant of a man in polished black boots stepped in front her, laughing and catching a towel that was thrown to him. She peeped in surprise of almost being stepped on. The man bent down and raised his furry eyebrows. "Small little devochka! You must be careful and pay attention where you wander, or you may be crushed by a boot!" Her eyes grew wide and smile grew even bigger. "But there are lights and colors everywhere Mr. Goliath! I've never seen anything like this- not even at school!"
The large man began laughing again, "I am no Goliath devochka, I am Durdek the Mighty! And you won't see so many colored flags at school, or games or that Ferris-wheel over there." He pointed further down the alley. "That is because you are at the Midway!"
The girl turned back to her father as he threw his last ring at the bottles, and the large man began walking away, whistling and singing in a deep baritone.
"I'm going to stay
where you sleep all day
where they hung the Turk
that invented work
in the Big Rock Candy Mountains."
Frank pulled on his ragged jacket sleeve. It was wormer then hell in the summer and wet in the winter but his grandmother had given him the jacket off the back of a dead man in Dublin. When Frank Salmon first wore this coat the sleeves were much too long and gave his childlike staure a comedic quality. Now his elbows poked from the worn sleeves. At this point the jacket had become a tent, a house, a raincoat, a blanket, a seat and a trusted friend.
"Baltimore is supposed to be warm, Godamn it", he grumbled under his breath. Salmon reared back and arched a long loogie into the way, too near the giant standing or rather leaning against the outside lodge pole of the 10 and one tent.
"Errrrrrgh," grunted Durdek. "You are lucky that landed near me, not on me", grumbled the man mountain. Salmon thought quickly about how to avoid a giant faux paus and a possible beating. He had already drained the last of the rotgut but he still had a Chester Arthur cigar to offer.
"Take it easy, Big Man," growled Salmon from the back of his throat. "Why don't ya just enjoy this nice smoke here?"
Satisfied the big man accepted the gift.
Sitting on a stool in front of a mirror, the gypsy woman clipped a pair of dangling silver earrings onto her lobes and took a swig of vodka from a small flask. A knock came from the trailer door.
"I am open if sign says - Open!" She called in her thick accent. "Twenty minutes, come back."
"It's me, Charlie, Miss Milenka," came the reply.
"Ah, Charlie. Come, Yonosha."
The shabby young lad stepped into the trailer and took off his hat. "Ma'am, you got a line a folks already."
Milenka gave a -hmf- of acknowledgement as she returned to prepping herself in the mirror.
The boy continued, "A lady with feathers in 'er hat just found out she's got a baby comin'."
"Yeh? How you know that?"
"She was sayin' that she told her sister 'the rabbit died'."
"Yonosha! How you know these things? How can you be enough years old?" She was amused, but teasingly sounded appalled,
"I'm nearly 13 ma'am." Another -hmf- signaled him to continue. "Three girls are hopin' to find out who's their future husbands."
"Please, Charlie. I know this already. It is same for all girls. If you vwant a nickel you must do better."
"There's a woman in a real nice blue spotted dress," he said. "Her fella's in some kinda election comin'. And when she said somethin' to him bout a wanted sign, he got real unhappy, and mean lookin."
"Ah, more like it, Yonosha."
The boy rattled off a few more stories for the fortune teller, then she gave him a nickel and sent him on his way. She took a final gulp of alcohol, lit her small kerosene lamps to replace the less mystical glow of electric bulbs, and stepped outside to put up her 'Open' sign.
Every morning at the Carnival started the same way. The troupe slowly gathered together as the Cooks prepared breakfast. Most days this meant Oatmeal and a piece of bread, served with a giant lump of butter. When there had been a week of good draws, the Cooks would sometime serve up burnt bacon and there was plenty of strong black coffee to go around. Salmon preferred his breakfast solitary, he would grab his tin plate and make out for the edge of the camp. If there was a river nearby he'd make for the water. Once when he was a young lad he learned the value of keeping your food well hidden, being nearly kicked to death by a group of Hooligans tends to make for neat life lessons.
Frank whistled for the camp dog to follow. The brown shaggy terrier perked his ears and rose to the familiar greeting. "C'mon boyo. let's have us a morning stroll shall we?" asked Salmon to the mutt. Off they shuffled to the river.
Frank sat on the banks of the Patapsco River for a bit, then shuffled back to camp. It was nearly time to start tuning up for the 12:00 p.m. parade that Salmon led every day through the heart of the compound. He traveled to the back of a 32 Ford, already starting to rust and chip from brutal conditions and overuse.
Frank lifted a tarp up and found his golden goose, the contraption that allowed Frank to survive. It consisted of a kick drum, a brass trumpet, several bells and various whistles. The drum was strapped around Salmon's midsection, allowing the deep boom of the giant tom to echo across the still lethargic camp.
"Boom, Boom, Boom, wizeeeeeeeeeeeeee" clanked the Bandman. He called in his trademark gruff voice, " Don't Miss Da Greatest Show on Earth!".
The Mighty White Russian poked his head from around the bed of an old truck down the line. His boots kicked up dust in the hot, early morning sun as he strolled to his associate, Frank the Bandman. His hand enveloped a tin cup of coffee, and he gulped it down in one Mighty shot as he stopped before the raggedy player testing his rhythm section. Cleaning black coffee from his crinkled morning moustache, Durdek's voice boomed as he began to speak. "I keep telling you friend Irish, your act needs more 'Oom-pah!', 'Oom-pah!'" Durdek made a motion with his hands, somewhere between how you would hold a tuba and how you would hold a child. "Oom-pah!" The strongman laughed. "I saw new form for Pimlico race. Night last, you talk all about Lawrin. Lawrin, Lawrin. Well this race, Bandman, my dollar goes on the Dauber horse." The russian's moustache poked into the air as he smiled wide. "If smart one, you're dollar goes on dauber too. Say? Have you heard of any 'work' while we're in town?" He said this last with a subtle nudge of the elbow, and an un-subtle raising of eyebrows. "The better to bet the horses with! Ha ha!"
They made quite a pair, sitting on the back of a truck bed, picked up hitching into town. The giant man took up nearly three quarters of the trunk, with little Frank squashed in what ever space there was left. The kindly farmer let the duo off at some fruit and veg stand on the cobblestone pavements of downtown Baltimore. Noise and motion all around, surrounded by smells both good and bad, Salmon lit a Chester Cigar and handed it up to the giant. "Boyo, let's have a wee bit of fun before we got to get back to the joint for the show tonight! I heard there's plenty of tail and the right kind of action in this Southern metropolis and I got you at my back, sure as you're born. You're a regular Giant and I'm Fin Macoul."
~the previous evening~
The lady with the spotted blue dress sat across the table from the gypsy with a deck of cards stacked neatly between them. The lady smiled nervously and twisted her hands in her lap as the first card was turned over and placed face up on the table with a snap.
"Knight of Clubs. Milenka announced. She actually pronounced the K in knight; she usually did. A man who is ambitious and can influence people is very important right now. The querent smiled. But this man, he has temper.
Oh, no, he just needs things to be done proper, hes really under so much pressure, the lady said defensively.
You certain know who this is? Mila asked, pointing to the knight. She drew another card and placed it crossways over the first. It was the seven of swords. This man is driven by feeling of betrayal. Mila looked at the woman directly and said, It make a dangerous situation. The woman pressed her lips tightly and shook her head a little.
The next card depicted a woman sitting blindfolded holding two swords crossed before her like a shield. The lady in the blue dress pointed and asked, Why is she blindfolded?
With emphasis and flourishing accent Milenka replied, Because she is trying to ignore her problems.
The woman sighed, almost a whimper, and her shoulders sagged. Mila went in for the shakedown. Taking the womans hand comfortingly, she said, It may be past time for playing with cards.
Varla - Location: Race Track in Baltimore
Go War Admiral! Go go go! And then the race was over. War Admiral had lostall of her moneygone on a tip from a junkie friend. Last time I listen to Jackie. Fuck, what next? She looked around the track for a target.
Durdek the Mighty
Location: Pimlico Track
"I'm not sure I would ever grow tire of it." Durdek stepped down into the street and stopped his bulk just inches from the path of a tall rattling Buick right before it turned a corner. Salmon looked on at this from the safety of the side walk, jaw agape but careful not to lose his Chester. "Wee bit fun? Then we head for the races today! Nothing more fun than making money." Durdek stepped out into the street, in the path of a wheezing egg truck. Salmon negotiated a ride and climbed in the cab as the larger man climbed into a nook between hen-cages. They bounced along down the street.
The driver of the old egg truck looked hard with his hand out, the disapproving look of someone who had a deal. Durdek stood with his hands in his pockets mouthing 'I don't- No rubbie.' His companion had already been heading toward the entrance, but managed to flick a dime piece into the palm of the helpful driver. They entered through the turnstyles and made their way into stands, under a canopy held up by tall sticks. Opening up before them lay Pimlico track, a dirt oval bounded on the inside with a white wooden fence. A new race was starting up, so the concrete slab in front of the bookie boxes was empty and littered with discarded racing forms from prior in the day. Durdek checked a few as they might give clues to how the day was going, but his mind was made up. "I tell you once more time Salmon, this horse Dauber is one to race." The big man grinned once again and put in a bet for his horse's next race, and they both were soon on their way down into a sea of spectators in stadium stands.
"See, what'd I tell ya lad- dame with a racing form, that's my kind of trouble." Salmon nudged his companion with his elbow. Durdek squinted his small eyes further. "She is of unusual look-" He chuckled to himself, which was still very loud- "I wonder if she ever work carnival?" He said this last with a flush of pride.
Salmon appreciated the finer things in life and found himself drooling over a different kind of legs then the ones propelling the horses around the track. He reached into his shabby coat pocket, produced a mint candy and threw the wrapper to the ground and he popped it into his mouth. "Time to go to work my son," he said quietly to himself. He left the Big man standing watching the horses, never losing sight of Durdek as the giants head protruded above the rest of the audience.
"I see you're not having a very good time," said Salmon to the lovely woman looking forlorn at the track. "Mind if i show you the way to a better one?" He smiled his best toothy smile and produced a flask. "My name is Frank and I'm pleased to meet ya."
'I'm Varla," said the woman. "Yea, this track his been total bollacks for me." She accepted the flask and took a swing. Her face contorted and she grimaced but managed to swallow. "Rutgot huh? You could have warned me," she said in a stern tone.
Frank looked slightly ashamed until he saw the smile that broke across his new friends face. "Would you like to meet the strongest man in the wooooorld? he said. "I think he's looming right over here. Come along and shake one down with us my lady friend."
Varla smiled at Frank and followed him to meet the strongest man in the world. Once she was standing next to him she sized herself up alongside him and replied with a lilt in her voice, "I do believe you just might be the strongest man in the world." She smiled warmly and extended her hand, "I'm Varla, Varla Galatea and it's nice to meet you Mr. Strong." She looked over to Frank and winked, "My you are both interesting men. Tell me, what do you do for a living?"
Location: Midway - Gypsy Trailer
Milenka gave her client the premium package - palm reading, pendulum dowsing, somber Romani gibberish, some rattling of Gramma Dakis beads, a well timed dash of secret flammable powder upon a candle flame - the spirits revealed many things.
The Mistress of Mysteries told the nervous patron that she was caught in the middle of a struggle between two men, both very important to her, but only one would be the victor. Most of this of course was already known to the querent, no matter how hard she had tried to deceive herself. Often times the fortune tellers job is simply to coerce a person to open their own eyes.
The lady in the blue spotted dress, whose name was revealed to be Susie, was tight lipped about most details, but did confirm Milas description of the man who was in a position of public recognition. Thats Davy, my fiancee, Susie said, quickly correcting herself, David.
And the other man, said Milenka, A relative? A brother? This was mostly deductive guessing. Mila sensed that the tension was not a lovers triangle, but perhaps a game of chicken between dishonest, power-hungry parties. The first man was a lover, so the second, although close to Susie, likely was not.
Susie paled and nodded, then clasped her hand over her mouth fearing to reveal anything that would upset Davy. Mila saw the concern in the young womans eyes, Even one who do not vwish the battle, can be vwounded by it. I sink you know is too late to protect them both. More deduction: the wanted sign Charlie had mentioned meant the law was involved and someone was going to be prosecuted for something.
Mila really didnt care about the details. The show was for the client, and the theatrics were for the cash in her pocket. As genuine tears welled up in Susies eyes, however, the immigrant couldnt help but feel a little bit of sympathy for her, and chose not to send her away empty handed. Mila gave the woman a sprig of sage and one of verbena, instructing her to place a leaf of each in the shoe or jacket of the person she wished to protect. She also told her, It is cruel that we must make such choices with loyalty. As Susie stood to leave the gypsys trailer, Mila lit a cigarette and added, We must always remember to protect ourselves in these battles of men.
Frank smiled his toothy grin and tipped his ever present black hat back revealing his wrinkled and slight features, covered with at least a weeks worth of dirt and dust. "Well now, my chere," he said as he bowed to the new lady friend standing at his side. "I present to you Durdek, the White Russian, the strongest man in the world. And I am, Frank "Bandman" Salmon he said and then drew a mouth harp and played a bit of an old jig , "We both work for the Crowley brothers Carnival out of Ipswitch, Massachusetts. We've been aboard since I met up with this lug and he saved me from a beating in Jersey City."
The Russian smiled and looked down, way down at the lady. "That was a gud night my friend, wary wary good."
"Would you you like to participate in some possible financial repossessions with us?" Salmon said to Varla. "By that I mean, we'll be repossessing some of these here rich bastards wallets into the needy wants O' a poor Irish lad in need of a supper and a new bottle of Whiskey. Whadda ya say/"
"Pleased to meet you Lady. Perhaps you've heard of our carnival? Either case, you should come see it tonight- the lights will blinding!" Durdek scanned the close-by crowd for unsuspecting donors. He noticed a middle-aged man in a tweed coat and fedora, checking his race form and back to the race, but remaining unemotional. "Bandman- I think that one has more money in his pocket than to be screaming for his horse. We should give more want to the gambling maybe?"
Shooting fish in a barrel would be the phrase that comes to mind as the tiny Irish drunkard made a gesture for his friends to sally forth. At the sight of a giant, eclipsing the light of the sun in front of the target, the victim was startled. "Would you please excuse me and my lady friend," said Durdek. As he said this, Varla readjusted her ample bosom, further taking the would be poorer mans attentions. Frank's hand dived in and out of the mans back pocket, smooth as the tranquil sea.
He rejoined his friends down the track away, fishing out a five dollar bill and tossing the wallet into the bush. The leather wallet landed right side up in a pile of horse shit, exposing the I.D. inside which read " Norville Patenson, assistant chief prosecuter, city of Baltimore."
"Well pleased with this bit of fish my friends," said Salmon. "Let's find us a horse to make a bet on and a bottle before we head back to the show for the evening. Would be our pleasure if you'd wish to accompany us back to Crowley's Carnivale, my lady." He pocketed the small silver ring he had also stolen for a better look later on.
As dusk began to fall, the now trio made their way back to the Carnival. "We gotta get our act together," Salmon said. He hit his ever present bottle and passed it around. The big man took a big swig and made an "oooooooog" sound. "Das Vedana!" he exclaimed. "Whut I wouldn't give for some wodka instead of your swill, Bandman."
The lot was coming to life and the midway lights started to flicker on. Bandman grabbed his musical gear and started tuning up. The big man started to stretch his muscular frame in preparation. Varla sat watching the pre-show antics.
"We gotta find the lady a job," Salmon said.
"I got no problem making cash when I need it," Varla purred. "I can always shake my moneymaker."
Perhaps you've heard of our carnival?
"I have not heard of your carnival but with a couple of fine men such as yourselves, what would it hurt? I have a class act of my own, world renown as a matter of fact and I can follow along on any job you might think of, so yes, consider me part of your troupe, it's more fun to travel with handsome men than it is alone. Although I do keep myself well entertained." Varla winked at the smaller man and slunk back into the shadows as the 'bandman' performed one of the oldest tricks in the book, pickpocketing. She smiled to herself and said softly aloud, "These bright boys can use someone like me, let's see the rest of the troupe."
Durdek The Mighty
Location: Midway- Ferris Wheel
Durdek made his way along a row of tents pitched into the ground. The sun was going down and lights were turning on. He noticed that the Gypsy trailer had had a line out front of it for hours already, some were folks he'd seen at least once already. "Good to see the business remains." He made his way to the Ferris Wheel, where he was sure to find the Foreman. Durdek craned his neck to find the man at the hub of the wheel, tehtered by rope to one of the girder-spokes. "Catch, Jack!"
Without further warning a grease-gun fell from the sky into Durdek's quick hands. "Throw me that three-quarter!" Large arms flung a wrench into the sky, a high lob that was easily caught byt the Foreman. Durdek hollared into the air "New worker, boss. Think she wants to run hoochie-coochie show, with the big cans." He made a motion like he was carrying two pumpkins close to his chest.
"Find Charlie and tell him to show her to the notheast tent, the one with that pine stage. It's empty tonight. If she can get an act together, she can work. Now you get going big guy, you gotta act to work to tonight, you don' get no break!" Durdek made his way through the carnival to find the small running boy smoking a cigarette behind the latreens with the pinhead. Durdek plucked it from his fingers and crushed it between his palms. "No Smoke for you, working time now." Durdek walked with the boy while explaining the instructions for Varla. Durdek spied the tall head of dark hair in the distance and brought Charlie up to her. The giant gave a quick explanation of the terms of employment (not much) and the cut (not much) and left Charlie with her to take her out to her northeast tent. The boy looked at the giant as he walked away, eyes as wide as saucers, somewhere between a kid in a candystore, and a deer in headlights. Durdek chuckled, "Perhaps, he thinks he has found the young love. Be careful Charlie- ha ha, she may eat you up like the wolf."
The big man bumped his head as he entered his own trailer, hunched and proceeded in to sit on his sofa for a few minutes before he needed to change for his act. From under a blanket tumbled two balls of grey fuzz, batting at each others ears and making sqwauking mewes. "Little karotkys always fighting, with the bellies full of fire. One day you will want only the pillow, and to be fed." He picked them up by the scruffs and pulled them apart. He lifted them in each of his hands and dropped them onto the floor. "Now go find your brother and build a sand castle, not the punching."
Varla Galatea
The tent was meager but there were no holes and it was fairly large and it was home. Once her heart stopped pounding, Varla decided to grab a bite to eat. While she sat at a table in the makeshift eating area, she spotted a large young man, he might have been a roustabout and he was exactly what Varla neededto help her get her things to her tent. She smiled in his direction and crooked her finger at him, inviting him to sit down and he obliged.
Howdy maam. You new here?
I am and I need some help. I have a few things stored at a friends house but I have been hired today and I need my outfits and the rest of my possessions. Mind helping a lonely woman out? Whats your name?
Ralph, maam and sure I have some spare time. Lets go.
The two left the carnival and hurried to a nearby home. She packed quickly and between her and Ralph they carried everything she owned in a few boxes and satchels back to her tent. She gave Ralph a few coins, Thanks big boy, if you ever want to stop by for a visit, Im around. She had lost some time with the move but now she was home and could concentrate on dressing for her show.
It was easy to find the hooch tent; there was a line of men waiting to get in. As Varla approached she put on her best smiled and heaved on her large breasts to perk them up. Howdy men, ready for a REAL show? Step right up and prepare yourself to be amazed and enlightened for I am Varla GalateaQueen of Hell because Im going to suck your souls right out of you! Follow me boys!
As she entered the tent there were two very young, very thin girls attempting to swing what little hips they had in a sensuous manner and only made Varla laugh. She smiled at the girls and joined them onstage. She stood between them and slapped both of their fannies, Come on girlslets give these guys a show!
Location: Gypsy Trailer
The sky over Baltimore was deepening from a hazy red to a murky black as the sun set over vast acres of dry farmland stretching out west of the city. Bright carbon-arc lamp lights began to switch on high over the citys street corners. At the edge of the urban sprawl, however, the county fairgrounds were lit with an incandescent brilliance to rival the harsh industrial glow. Along the Midway, a blaze of colorful electric lights flashed and shimmered, like a magical beacon of wonder against the otherwise doldrum landscape.
Dazzled cityfolk of all ages and various social classes wandered the dirt paths amongst colorful booths, wondering how to spend their precious pennies. Deceptively simple games tempted one to test his luck, barkers described the worlds most unimaginable marvels to witness, entertainers previewed unforgettably, amazing acts to applaud, and exhilarating, mechanized rides lured even the most reserved toward adventure.
Perhaps the options were a bit overwhelming for tonights crowds. The line outside Milenkas trailer had not been as consistent this evening as on previous nights, so she had been trying harder to weasel a bit more coinage out of deeper pockets. There were a few deep pockets at her disposal presently, in the form of well dressed, giggling young ladies. One girl, clearly the ringleader, was seated at the small round table in front of the gypsy, haughty and impudent with her nose in the air, waiting for her glorious future to be told.
Mila waited for quiet and laid down the first card. Seven of Cups, she said. Mila wanted to tell the girl that her foolish little head belonged in the clouds instead of wasting space down here among honest hard working folk. Instead she told her, You are one of free-spirit. You dream of grand adventures and for fame and romance.
Yes, said the girl, clasping her hands together and swishing perfectly curled chestnut locks over her shoulders. Tell me more about the romance. She said it breathily, teasing, to provoke a giggle from her friends standing beside her.
Mila pulled another card, eight of coins, which really had nothing to do with romance, but she was skilled at spinning. A craftsman? She asked.
The girl raised her eyebrows and said Perhaps.
Lanie, One of the friends scolded, nudging her arm. Ask about Marcus.
Milenka seized the opportunity. So there is a craftsman, yes? You would like to know more about this Marcus? I can tell you, but is not easy telling future of someone who is not here, requires extra. Cost only a little more.
Lanie lifted her chin and nodded approval nonchalantly, not afraid to show off a casual disregard for her daddys money.
After collecting the additional fee, Mila placed a crystal ball in the middle of the table and lit a large pillar candle. Waving her hands over the flame she said solemnly, Honored mother, grace us. Bless this light, show us truth. Whether she addressed the sacred Virgin Mother or her own Romani parent in the spirit realm, she enjoyed leaving to the clients interpretation.
The fortune teller extended her arms, bedecked with clanging bracelets, across the table toward the the girl and instructed, Take my hands, close your eyes, and concentrate on this boy, Marcus. She waited a moment, then continued, He is handsome boy. This would be a given. The girl was vain.
I know that already. Said the girl impatiently. Tell me something new. Will he be my husband?
Mila released Lanies hands and waved her fingers over the crystal ball. The candle sparked and crackled. It was one of her special, homemade candles with dusted flecks of steel wool blended into the wax surrounding the wick. As the girls gasped, Mila held up a finger to quiet them and said, The spirits bring a message. Looking back down at the glass orb, she could clearly see the reflection of one of the girls. It was the more timid of the three, who had been standing silently to one side during the entire exchange, twisting a plain handkerchief in her hands.
Milenka commonly resorted to tricks and elaboration to satisfy her clients, but she was not a stranger to moments of true clairvoyant visions. The instant her eyes focused on the reflected image of the quiet, anxious girl, a barrage of revealing scenes played out in her mind.
Location: Gypsy Trailer
The images that flashed through Milas head were accompanied by a sense of knowing which she had learned to trust. Some of what she saw was past and some future. Frustratingly, these insights were often a confused tangle of varying perspectives and uncertain outcomes.
Mila saw her pretentious young querent, Lanie, vying for the attention of an attractive young man, Marcus, who tolerated the girl politely, but his true affections lie elsewhere. In the vision, she sees him wrapped in a lovers embrace with Lanies shy and modest friend whom he calls Jenny. She sees that Lanie is blind to the boys disinterest in her, and is indeed blind to anything but her own whims and desires.
This is where the possibilities start to become muddled. Lanies selfishness turns to vindictiveness when she learns of the affair, the betrayal. Jennys belly grows large with child. In one future Milenka sees a vision of Lanie spinning a web of lies, traps and manipulation. She forces Marcus into a marriage destined for unhappiness, leaving Jenny shunned by family and friends, struggling to care for a baby alone. In another, Lanie rejects Marcus and shames Jenny into rejecting him as well, convincing her to hide the pregnancy from him. She gives up the baby for adoption and the young couple is robbed of a chance at happiness together.
Mere seconds passed as this all became known to the fortune teller, but it took a minute longer for her to determine what she should do with the knowledge. She surmised telling the girl outright would yield no positive effect. Even if her words were believed, they may simply fall on deaf ears or lead to even more unpleasant consequences. Furthermore, Mila did not feel it was her right to reveal Jennys secrets.
Milenka had been staring at the crystal ball as if in a trance and Lanie leaned forward tentatively, to say, Maam? Are you still with us? She made an attempt to lighten the heavy atmosphere with an awkward little laugh.
As Mila blinked and lifted her gaze. Her pupils contracted sharply to focus on Lanies face, and the girl shrank back, hugging her arms to herself, trying to warm away sudden goosebumps.
You could marry him. Mila said abruptly. You have way for getting what you vwant. Her tone did not portray this as good news, however, and Lanie remained silent. You could have him, but you vwould not be happy.
Lanie scowled slightly at this prediction, and the gypsy challenged the girls disdain. Yes, he is handsome. Yes, he is hardworker, She said. But is not for you. You will always be vwishing for different. For better. Mila sat back and nodded, showing confidence with her assessment. She made a casual open handed gesture and said indifferently, There are others. For you, there will always be others. But, she added, tapping the table with a single, slender finger, If you marry for wrong reasons, you will regret it.
With these final words, the girl stood up rigidly and commanded to her friends, Lets go. She led the way out the door and down the steps. Jenny was the last in line and just at the moment she, too, was about to step out the door, Milenka spoke. Genevieve, when will you tell him?
Jenny froze. Still poised to take her next step, one hand bracing the trailer door open, she turned her head just enough to speak over her shoulder. How did you...? Turning further to look at the fortune teller she said, Nobody ever uses my full name.
You should tell Marcus you are pregnant.
Jenny hurried out the door and down the steps.
Mila sighed heavily and stood from her seat. These sort of emotional readings could take a toll on her.

Sage Thoughts
April 08, 2013, 11:39:08 AM by
| Views: 93 | Comments: 5
Sage Cheesman, the teenage daughter of Sonia's Andy and my Savannah, moved with her family to Hidden Springs after her two older brothers were sentenced to Fort Starch Military Academy. Sage was very depressed after the move because she moved away from the friends she'd made in ballet. In an effort to cheer her up, her parents bought her a horse and got her a dog. But it wasn't until she met Kayleigh, an experienced equestrian who herself was new to Hidden Springs, when her life began to change. Her therapist recommended that she jot down her thoughts in a diary, which became 'Sage Thoughts.'
Hi everyone, it's me,
Sage Margaret Plumb-Cheesman
My name is actually
after some flowers my mom, the famed adventurer and author
Savannah Plumb Cheesman
, saw in China, where I was conceived. Except no one calls me that but her, and that's only when she's mad with me. Everyone calls me Sage, and Sage it is.
My middle name, Margaret, is in honor of mom's favorite aunt, who was only Sunset Valley's most accomplished novelist. She died when mom was a teenager -- the same age I am now.
My dad is a professional athlete,
Andrew Jeffrey Cheesman
. He's a reserve forward on the Llamas soccer team, which means he comes off the bench to relieve someone else. I don't know much about his family and his past.
My grandparents,
Shandra Plumb
, were both famous classical musicians, heavily involved in Sunset Valley's theater community. The old Wilsonoff Theater is now named after my grandfather. My uncle,
Sebastian (Bassy) Plumb
, is a major movie star in Bridgeport.
My family is pretty unusual, as families go. I have two older siblings who were adopted from Egypt before I was born. One of them plans to return there, against mom's screams. Mom yells and shouts, but she can't stop
from going back to Egypt. My older brothers,
, are at Fort Starch Military Academy. They were sent there just before I turned teen, and I'm not sure why. I miss them like mad, though. (This pic was taken during AJ's home visit.) I also have a kid sister,
, who is basically a pain. We share a room, though. People thought we were twins because we have the same blond hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin. She follows me everywhere -- with her football in tow. I kinda think she got the athletic gene, too. She throws HARD.
Me, I didn't get any of the athlete stuff. I think I'm the only one who didn't. I took ballet classes in Sunset Valley, which I enjoyed. I'm not sure what I have at this point -- except a dog and a horse. The horse, Traveller, is a Hanoverian show horse I got for my birthday. The first time I rode, I was SCURRED.
This is my golden retriever puppy, Bitsy. She was a birthday gift from my uncle. Bitsy is everywhere.
And oh. Before I go, I want to tell you about this cool new girl at school. Her name is Kayleigh. Her family raises UNICORNS!
I want to get to know her better but I'm not sure how. I'm really shy around people I don't know well.
Speaking of people I don't know well, my dad moved the whole family to this town called Hidden Springs away from my family and friends. He said he wanted a change of scenery after all the bad press my brothers got. Because mom's family is who they are, we've always been followed by paparazzi. It's been hard meeting new people and making new friends, since there aren't a lot of sims my age and younger here. When I was back at home in Sunset Valley, there were plenty of kids our age, and I had quite a few friends and even a slumber party. I still talk to Malika and Natalie on Simbook, but it's not the same.
Oh well, I'll see you later!

Bronck's Mystery Shows and Midway - GIP - Game In Progress

Original section:
The sky above the Baltimore Fair Grounds was brightly lit tonight by the thousands of electric light bulbs glowing, displaying a myriad of games and rides. A mother and father walked with their young girl between them as they moved along with the crowd. The little one's head swung wildly to and fro; everywhere she looked could be seen Barkers in their booths calling out to passersby to spend a nickel on their games, Performers and curiosities displaying great feats of talent and charisma, and Roustabouts bringing life to another round of the amusement machines.
The family drifted to a brightly lit booth next to a performer's tent, filled with bottles arranged in a delta with signs of "One throw- one penny" posted on the counter. The girl wandered a few paces off while her father received five rings for a nickle, intent to win his sweetheart one of the teddy bears hanging on the wall. A giant of a man in polished black boots stepped in front her, laughing and catching a towel that was thrown to him. She peeped in surprise of almost being stepped on. The man bent down and raised his furry eyebrows. "Small little devochka! You must be careful and pay attention where you wander, or you may be crushed by a boot!" Her eyes grew wide and smile grew even bigger. "But there are lights and colors everywhere Mr. Goliath! I've never seen anything like this- not even at school!"
The large man began laughing again, "I am no Goliath devochka, I am Durdek the Mighty! And you won't see so many colored flags at school, or games or that Ferris-wheel over there." He pointed further down the alley. "That is because you are at the Midway!"
The girl turned back to her father as he threw his last ring at the bottles, and the large man began walking away, whistling and singing in a deep baritone.
"I'm going to stay
where you sleep all day
where they hung the Turk
that invented work
in the Big Rock Candy Mountains."

Hello dear forum members! Many of you have wondered what has happened at the HoT for the past week. For the past few months, the forum has been bombarded by bots and spammers trying to get in.

The Utter and Absolute Dissection of a Prune (a Sim Story Parody)

Just to let you know, at the moment I don't have any in game pics, as I've yet to create this character. But as soon as I do, I'll post pics to let you see what he looks like and how his life is one very big misadventure!
Norris 'Lucky' Prune didn't exactly live up to his nickname.
In fact, you could say that he was quite the opposite.
Unlucky by trait, unlucky by nature.
How the hell he managed to get through school and graduate baffled even himself.
But now that the constraints and shackles of school life were gone, he was free to do whatever he wished.
Trouble is, he hadn't a clue WHAT he wanted to do.
He hated the outdoors, so any job that required going outside the front door, was completely out of the question.
He was exceptionally clumsy, either dropping things, breaking stuff, setting stuff alight or even tripping over his two left feet.
And worst of all, he had a terrible memory. Always forgetting things.
The only good side of his nature, was the fact that he was Good. Generous to a fault, and always smiling, no matter what.
He needed help.
A LOT of help.
A bloody miracle, if it came down to that option.
This is where you readers come in.
What sort of Lifetime Wish do you think Norris would have?
Any suggestions would be helpful indeed.
And which town/city do you suppose Norris would be happiest living in?

Skyrim Man Mods (Mods relating to males) NSFW

Views: 172738 | Comments: 1258
I decided to start a special thread devoted to Skyrim mods related to male characters. All are encouraged to contribute any mods they find that are related to the boys. This can include mods that are for both males and females. Sexy, practical, whatever, so long as the boys are shown some love!
As I discover more mods I will create a new post with the links as well as add them to this first post. And whenever someone contributes a new link, I will also add it to this first post, while giving the one who discovered it finder's credit. This way we have one concise "master list" so to speak and no need to wade through the various posts, but we also have the benefit of the new posts alerting us to updates via the forum's "show new replies to your posts" and "show unread posts since last visit" features.
The Mod List can be found in the next post.

In Topic: What's the best potters wheel on a budget?
Posted 13 Oct 2012
I bought my Clay Boss 2 years ago and it has been in daily use ever since. It has never given me a moment of trouble. Runs quiet, handles 100 lbs of clay...providing I could lift that much lol. I bought mine because it was low priced, but now that I have owned one for 2 years...even when I can afford the more expensive wheels I would still buy the Clay Boss. The control is so much better on it than on the Brents we have at the University. I honestly can't say enough good things about my wheel...

Jenna Hazes makes the movie worth the rental with 3 of the 4 other scenes will make you hit the fast forward. Ashley Banks is the only other scene worth watching. You can tell see is not enjoying it and is in real pain while doing the only anal scene in the movie. Some dude in all scenes and he is a piece of work. Amber, Ashley Banks, Betti Rage, Jenna Haze, Liz Pink
All six scenes had pretty and young looking girls. In straight forward sex scenes. Nothing hard or trying to degrade the girls. Nothing great but nothing bad either. If you like young girls this would be a good rental.
Every scene started with a short interview with the ladies telling us how they what to be a "Baby Doll" The hot and young Jackie Moore was the only lady who did an anal scene but the dude that she was with had a nasty rash all over his ass so that was a turn off. Serena South also had a good scene. Good rental with young fresh ladies when the movie was made.
The movie was good until the end. Then during the behind the scenes action it became disgusting! Six dudes had already busted their loads on Jackie Moore's face when they spit on her to try to make it look like bigger loads were shot on her. Spitting on someone is not rough but disgusting!! Horrible!
When you see the title you would think all the women would do deepthroat. Well only three do and the other two don't. One doesn't even come close (hand blow and maybe gets half in) and the other is getting banged next to a urinal which was a total turn off. You will be disappointed with this rental and I sent it back the next day I received it.
All these teenagers had real tits which where all above B with the exception of one. The HOT Brianna Blaze has that look that you just want to get with. Brianna, Britney Madison, Luci Thai and Missy Monroe all had good vag dp's scenes. A couple of girls even mixed in some anal. Jessica Sweet was the only let down at the end she hated her cum shot and lost it when trying to swallow it.
Dayton is back. While she only has lesbian scenes that is fine. She has three scenes with some smoking HOT women. Wish she would do some guys but maybe in the future. Solid rental.
Even thou it says it was made in 2004 still had the feel of an late 1990's early 2000 production. PASS on this movie there are much better dvd's to watch then this sorry video.
Avena Lee was the best looking and and had a good scene. Jasmine Lynn had a great anal scene and had some great looking nipples. Alexis is a nice looking blonde and Kaylynn also had a nice anal scene too. Anna Mills is nice to look at but wanted nothing to do with the dudes cum that was with here. Bad enough to knock it down a star. Good rental.
The reason was to see Kayla Paige. She is so much better with women but this was the first time I saw her do some anal so that was the high spot in the below average movie. Not into watching a girl squirting over and over so I skipped Cytherea scene once she started. Sarah Rose scene was horrible and Jacquelin dildo was large but nothing as big I have other women do. So this was not a good rental at all even with Kayla Paige in it.

Five field goals and kicker's key tackle crucial in Notre Dame victory
(MCT) — LOS ANGELES — Kyle Brindza was calm, cool and collected whenever he lined up to kick a field goal.
When it came to tackling a runner breaking free on a kickoff return in the fourth quarter of a close game, it was a different story for the Notre Dame sophomore.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Barrel 27s signature wine is a blend of Syrah from vineyards situated on the West Side of Paso Robles and in the Santa Ynez Valley. It is approachable and easy to drink.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Cloudline is deep ruby red, a sign of its classic Pinot Noir character. On the palate, the wine is soft and round, with a delightful core of cherries and red fruits. The structure is perhaps even a bit better than the much-admired 2005 Cloudline, and the overall fruit-forwardness makes for..
Cellar/Tasting Notes We looked long and hard for a terrific under $25 California Cabernetone that meets our standards and tastes far better than its price. ..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Dark cherry, strawberry and pomegranate. An underlying earthiness balances the fruit characters. Since 2009, all the grapes from our Estate Vineyard have been certied as sustainable under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliances Certied California Sustainable Winegrower (CCSW) program."..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Aromas of crushed cherry, spiced rose petal, a hint of toasted vanilla and savory notes. The delicate mouth shows Italian plum with licorice and a velvety texture finishing bright with fine tannins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "You could use this as a teaching tool for classic Sonoma County Zinfandel. Its full-bodied, dry and spicy, with briary flavors of wild berries, mocha, tobacco, leather and exotic spices. More importantly, its absolutely delicious. The grapes come from Seghesios best vineyards in the Alexander..
Cellar/Tasting Notes It is really hard to find good popular-priced Merlot (think back to the movie Sideways). This lovely Merlot fits the bill: Fresh black cherry with a hint of truffle, comes onto the palate with big shoulders yet very refined tannins, leaving a long, broad finish. We like it a lot.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright crimson color. Complex brown spices and a slight smokiness are sweetened by ripe dark fruit that enlivens the aroma and palate. The beautifully balanced texture and soft, supple tannins lead on to a soft finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Gorgeous Textbook Cabernet wine, a real Napa gem. We get to taste a lot of wine; a lot of good wine, a lot of fair wine and a lot of why would I drink that? wine.

Watch out Seattle. There's a new gourmet food truck puttering around these pot-holed streets. And this time, it's not a diner on wheels or the best food cart in the grand ole U.S. of A. The Parfait ice cream truck serves up spoonfuls of the sweet variety: organic, homemade ice creams.
Right off the bat I was a little in love with this joint. Er, truck. I have such fond memories of Popsicle Joe when I was young: chasing after him in flip flops, spraining my ankle, the 16 year-old pimple-faced driver laughing at me as he drove off into the sunset with his Strawberry Shortcakes and Firecrackers. I figured that if nothing else, Parfait would be stationary, serve me ice cream that was not on a stick, and not necessitate an injured joint to enjoy it's frozen bounty.
We were lucky enough to have them near our neighborhood this weekend, so Husband, Little Bear, some pals and I absolutely had to make the short trip to give these cones a try. The truck is gorgeous, the menu cute and simple, and the staff incredibly friendly and cordial. But what to order?
Our friend Dave, a parfait junkie, went with the mint stracciatella: mint-flavored ice cream with Dagoba chocolate flakes. But this was no ordinary pseudo-mint flavoring—it was made with real, fresh mint leaves. The result was quite a different flavor than your run-of-the-mill chocolate chip mint. It was fresh, earthy, and (as we all remarked with curiosity and laughter) tasted remarkably similar to another green leafy plant.
Yes, that one. Maybe that's why Dave hangs outside this ice cream truck every Sunday.
For me? I went the herb-free route cuz that's how I hang. The meyer lemon had my name on all over it, and I was pleasantly surprised by it's soft lemon flavor. Parts of the ice cream were a little, well, icy; I found a few ice chips lurking in my compostable cup. But overall it was good.
Husband, because he needs chocolate like he needs air and internet, went with a bowl of decadent chocolate ice cream. It was creamy. It was rich. Smooth. Dare I say the best chocolate ice cream in Seattle?
It's the best I have tasted in a long while. Are there any other new contestants that I need to know about?
When Lucy became aware that there was ice cream to be had, she got a little excited.
And I do believe that as she tasted Daddy's chocolate, she said "mmmmmm." I'm not even joking. I have no idea where she gets it from.
Check out Parfait's schedule to see if they're headed to your neck of the woods sometime soon. When you go, just make sure that you have a designated driver. The mint stracciatella has quite a kick.
And tell Dave I said hi. He'll be the one begging on hands and knees for more ice cream. And eating cheetos. And ding dongs. And beef jerky.
