Prop. 8 and DOMA Follow Up The Supreme Court of the United States issued rulings yesterday in two cases relating to same-sex marriage. The high court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, claiming it was unconstitutional for the federal government to make any law singling out people recognized as equal at the state level. In the case of Proposition 8, the court declined to rule saying it had no standing to do so. That decision allows the state of California the opportunity to begin moving forward with issuing licenses for same-sex, which it plans to do in 25 days after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals lifts its stay. To find out more about how these two rulings will actually affect people in California, we'll talk with UC Davis Law Professor and Dean for Academic Affairs Vikram Amar and The Atlantic's Business Reporter and Associate Editor Jordan Weissmann. We'll also hear from a woman who was planning on civil union with her partner this weekend at the State Capitol about what these decisions mean for their family.

Library of Congress Institute Three local teachers - Heidi Painter, Kelly Hillesland and Nicole Kukral - just returned from a five-day national education institute in Washington, D.C. The three of them were part of a specially selected group of K-12 teachers to attend the Library of Congress teaching with Primary Sources Summer Teacher Institute from June 17 to 21. They join us today to talk about what they learned about the most effective ways to utilize the Library's primary sources in classroom instruction, which is especially important as California schools transition to new modes of teaching with the Common Core Standards.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. --An hour before kickoff, Butch Varno was ready.
He had his Middlebury College sweat pants on and his Middlebury basketball cap nearby. Sitting in his wheelchair, facing the kitchen door, he waited. Just before 12:30 p.m., the door swung open and two young giants ducked in.
Time to pick up Butch.
"Hello, guys!" he said, beaming at 6-foot-5-inch Middlebury basketball player Kevin Kelleher Jr. and 6-9 teammate Andrew Locke. "Hi guys!"
"How ya' doin'?" asked Kelleher, leaning down to hug him. "Are you doing good?"
"It's been a long week," Varno replied.
"Yeah, well, we're going to the football game. We're going to have some fun," Kelleher said.
Moments later, he pushed Varno's wheelchair out the door and down a porch ramp, headed for Alumni Stadium and another chapter in the story of the exclusive college and its No. 1 fan.
What started one snowy afternoon in 1960, when student Roger Ralph spotted Varno's grandmother struggling to wheel a 13-year-old with cerebral palsy back from a football game and gave both of them a ride home, remains one of college sports' most endearing, enduring rituals.
In football season, Middlebury basketball players deliver Varno to the stadium and sit with him through the game. In basketball season, football players do the honors, placing him courtside, at the end of the Panthers' bench. It doesn't end there: Students -- they call themselves "Butch's Team" -- tutor him, take him to the college library, run errands with him, pal around with him.
Last spring, when a flood inundated the small apartment Varno shared with his mother, Middlebury officials stepped in. They spent $200,000 renovating a college-owned house into a new residence that the Varnos moved into last month. The school has mounted a fundraising campaign aimed at underwriting the full cost of the renovations and endowing a "community response fund" aimed at financing the Varnos' future needs.
"By the grace of God, every single year for 40-plus years, one year at a time, they show up for Butch," said Terry Colvin, 65, a class of `64 graduate who was among the early picker-uppers.
"It's college-endorsed, but it's people living out their values and doing the right thing. So you're a yuppie from Scarsdale, up in Vermont at this pristine place, learning about high ideals and philosophies, and you're connected with a kid with cerebral palsy who's in a real town and is a real person."
Indeed, Varno was a kid when it all started. Now he's 60, his condition worsening with age -- his rigid hands are now locked into claw-like hooks. He confesses to battling depression, especially when college isn't in session. In summer, he spends his days watching C-SPAN or Boston Red Sox games on TV.
"Lots of people think it is fun to be lifted up and taken care of," Varno said. "It's not. I'd rather be on that football field playing, or on the basketball court."
But hope springs eternal when the students return, and with them, the sports routines and visits to the apartment at 110 South Main Street, just down the street from campus.
Varno is no fair-weather fan. He has attended thousands of games, many of them lopsided losses. After all, the college -- which doesn't give athletic scholarships and costs about $44,000 a year to attend -- has never been mistaken for an NCAA powerhouse in football or basketball.
He keeps a notebook packed with statistics, pores over preseason rosters to guess who'll start and makes it clear when he doesn't like a substitution -- or a call. He's been known to get so riled up he falls out of his wheelchair at games, and he blames himself if the basketball team plays badly.
"When we lose, that's OK. I'm depressed for five minutes. I go into the coaches' office and I scream and yell at myself because I didn't do the job," Varno said.
At football games, he sits in the stands, flanked by his escorts for the day.
Last week, during Middlebury's 28-0 victory over Hamilton, Kelleher and Locke stood by his wheelchair from kickoff to the final play, tending to his needs -- pulling his leather jacket on, standing him up for the national anthem and holding him by his elbows until it was over, stretching him, feeding him hot chocolate through a straw -- as well-wishers young and old stopped to say hello.
Around Middlebury, he's something of a celebrity.
"I think Butch, in a way, brings together the sports teams here, and the school itself," Locke said. "He's been around so long, everyone knows him."
Kelleher is a second-generation member of Varno's band of brothers. His father, Kevin Kelleher Sr., 49, class of `80, used to have pushing duty. That was when Varno lived farther from campus and the game-day routine involved lifting Varno and the chair separately, putting them into a vehicle and delivering both to the game.
It's easier now, but no less meaningful.
"The kids benefit because it's a form of community service they're all doing," former athletic director Russ Reilly said. "They're probably not even aware they're doing it. They're getting to work with someone who's less fortunate. Many of our students come from fairly affluent backgrounds. This type of opportunity is a valuable life lesson."

Car Shows
Mustang Owners Club of
Great Britain's 21st Annual Show
The Mustang Owners Club of Great Britain's 21st Annual Show took place on Sunday 25th June. With over 250 Mustangs attending, it was the largest number of Mustangs in one place in the UK for many years. Taking place at Wimpole Hall for the second year, we had great weather and even some Mustang Owners from mainland Europe. With 800 members in the UK, seeing this many Mustangs in one place is a site to see.
We were lucky enough to see the Cobra R, Unfortunately the Super Stallion was damaged by the Air Freight company, so its gone back to be fixed. Maybe we will see it next year (3rd time lucky).
Team Mustang
were also in attendance to solicit views on wether the new Mustang should
be brought to Europe.

No redundancies promised as Thomas Cook plans closure of 12 stores
From very humble beginnings when the young Thomas Cook in 1841 organised an excursion by train to take a group of 540 temperance campaigners from Leicester Campbell Street railway station to a rally in Loughborough, eleven miles away form this was born the giant holiday organisation that we see today.
When the package holiday revolution began with a holiday to Palma in 1952, then Lourdes in 1953, quickly followed by other destinations, to book these packages high street travel agents were used. Today more of us are using the internet and logging onto tour operators websites, or airlines and individual hotels on a DIY basis.
This has meant that fewer of us are using traditional high street agents and Thomas Cook has not been immune to this. Over the last few years, the company's retail division has seen closures as shop leases come up for renewal, in 2011and 2013 a total of 395 stores closed, resulting in a high number of redundancies.
Once again the company has had to announce that it is to close 12 outlets this summer, but has plans to expand into new locations, this is all part of the review of the retail network. Currently they plan to close eight stores in the last week of May and a further four in the week of August 29; of these eight are Co-operative Travel Shops, the reaming four being Thomas Cook agencies.
The good news for employees is that there will be no redundancies and the forty one staff involved is to be relocated to other branches. In spite of these announced closure as well as the previous closures, the group still has 796 stores in the UK. The areas where the stores are to close are at Banstead, Bolton, Carterton, Clifton, Grange-over-Sands, Harrogate, Manchester, Melton Mowbray, Perth, Solihull, Wakefield and Wembley.
A spokesperson for Thomas Cook Kathryn Darbandi, said that it was necessary to close these stores due to leases ending, but they had not ruled out opening new shops, it is all about changes in demand with delivering profitable returns, she commented.
Thomas Cook remains a major operator in the holiday market with its mix of flights, cruises and a variety of holiday packages.

|How to Celebrate Your Birthday
by Bigsimes ©
I was born on my Mother's 19th birthday. Not an amazing fact in itself, but one that would have interesting repercussions later in life.
My early years were not unusual, and it wasn't until I was in my teens that I made an interesting discovery, well, two in fact. Firstly, I realised that my mother, called Ruth, was incredibly attractive (5'11" tall, with short reddish brown hair, a full set of tits and legs that went on, and on, and on.) Secondly, she and my Dad fucked like rabbits every night, and when she fucked, my Mum was loud and proud! Every night, as they fucked in their room (or the bathroom, or the lounge downstairs), I heard Mum begging for more, and screaming out her multiple orgasms as I wanked myself stupid in my room. When I wasn't wanking, I was out with my girlfriend, Emma, having wild sex with her. Nearly 6 years older than me, Emma taught me a lot about fucking and sucking, and hearing all about my parents loud sex life turned her on as much as it did me. As soon as I left school, I moved in with Emma in the flat she shared with her Brother, Craig. He worked all hours so we almost had the flat to ourselves, and our sex life got better, if that were possible.
My favourite position was to bend Emma over the back of the settee in the lounge, flip her skirt up over her waist, and pull her little panties down over her rounded arse. It was always 'framed' by stockings and suspenders, and there was nothing I liked better than to grab her by the hips and slide my 7" cock into her waiting cunt. Emma had a way of pushing her arse back at me as we fucked that turned me on no end, and she would reach between her legs and cup my balls in her hand. Like Mum, she was a loud fuck, and there were stains on that settee that no amount of dry cleaning would remove!
Then, soon after my 20th birthday, Dad died in an accident. I moved back in with Mum to give her some support, and Emma spent most of her time there too. Mum coped better than we expected, and life soon returned to some kind of normality. I became the man around the house, and Emma and I tried to fuck quietly, whilst Mum cried herself to sleep.
It took a few months to notice that Mum's crying had turned to moaning. She and Dad had had a very active sex life, and Mum was obviously missing cock. One day when I was alone in the house, I went into Mum's room. Rooting around in her drawers, I found a large envelope. Sitting on her bed, I opened the envelope and pulled out a pile of Polaroid pictures. The first one was of Mum sat in the bath, cupping her tits and squeezing her erect nipples. The next three showed her dressed in sexy undies, including a black suspender belt, thong panties, and a matching corset. Looking at these pictures of my sexy Mum posing in those clothes gave me a raging hard on, but the rest of the pictures were even better! The next one had Mum lying on the bed, still in the stockings and corset, sucking off my Dad whilst sticking a dildo up herself.
But hang on, I thought, who was taking these pictures? The last 6 pictures told the story. They showed another couple and my parents in a whole range of porno poses. My Dad fucking a well built blonde from behind, who was licking out my Mum; Mum getting a sandwich fuck from Dad and the other man; and Mum and the blond French kissing with two loads of spunk all over their faces. Feeling shocked and really horny, I looked in her bedside cupboard and found a 6" dildo. I gave it a sniff - it smelt of pussy! I licked it, and came in my pants as I tasted my Mothers' cunt juice, and realised that she was fucking herself every night, probably listening to me fucking Emma. It was then that I decided that one way or another, I was going to fuck my Mum, but how?
I decided to go for the slow approach, rather than blunder in and probable screw it all up. I'd spent the last 18 months working on a building site, and always considered myself to be in pretty good shape, so I started to walk round the house without a shirt on. I soon noticed Mum casting furtive glances at my body. Emma noticed too, and one night in bed, she asked me what I was doing. I told her everything, including my discovery of the pictures.
"Oh my God", Emma said. "That is so horny! Quick, fuck me now, I'm sopping wet!"
Normally foreplay is an important part of our lovemaking, but I just climbed between her thighs and slid my rock hard cock into her receptive cunt. We were both so turned on by my plan I knew this was going to be a quick fuck, especially when Emma whispered in my ear
"Imagine I am your Mum. Fuck me hard!" I could feel my balls banging against Emma's arse as I rammed into her.
"Fuck your Mother, fuck your Mother, fuck your Mother" Emma began chanting in time with my thrusts, getting louder and louder as her orgasm approached.
"Quick, cum on my face, like in the pictures!" she pleaded. Although I desperately wanted to cum in Emma's cunt, I was too turned on. I quickly pulled out and sat up. A few strokes of my cock was enough to make me cum. I shot load after load of spunk onto my girlfriend's face, imagining what it would be like to do the same to my Mother. Afterwards, as I snuggled down to sleep, Emma gently bit my earlobe and said,
"When you fuck Ruth, can I fuck her too?"
Upping my seduction techniques, I started to 'accidentally' brush past Mum a lot, letting my fingers touch her hips, or arse, and once even her breast. I knew this was turning her on as I saw her nipple straining through her blouse. It was now time for the culmination of my plan to get my Mother into bed. My approaching birthday was my 21st, and it was on the same day as mum's 40th.
"Have you made any plans for your birthday Mum?" I asked, knowing she hadn't.
"No, no, I hadn't really..." she replied.
"OK, how about Emma and I take you out so we can celebrate our birthdays together." Mum squealed with excitement and rushed over to kiss me on the cheek. At the last moment I turned my head and our lips met. I quickly wrapped my arms around her to hold her wonderful body against mine, and to prolong the kiss. She looked shocked, and pushed herself away, before regaining her composure.
"Whoa, easy tiger! Aren't you getting enough from Emma?" As she said this, she ran a finger down my chest, resting her fingernail on my belt buckle for a second.
"Oh yes" I replied, "But I've always got some spare for a beautiful woman like you". She looked at me curiously, and then moved away.
"How about we make this a special event Mum, and we buy each other clothes to wear on the evening?"
"Oh great" she replied, "I've seen just the shirt to buy you!" Yeah, I thought to myself, just wait till you see what I'm gonna buy for you.
In the two weeks leading up to our birthdays, Emma and I had lots of loud sex that always included fantasies about incest with Mum and, since it was high summer, I paraded around the house in short shorts, or even swimming trunks, ensuring Mum saw me. She too had started wearing a kaftan around the house, and I regularly got flashes of thigh or nipple. Three days before I turned 21, and Mum reached 40, our plan sprang into action. Emma had to go away in a fake emergency visit to a non-existent aunt who was ill. This meant it would be just Mum and me who went out to celebrate, or as Emma put it, 'to give you a chance to stick your cock into your Mothers cunt without my tongue being in the way.'
On the morning of our birthdays, after Ruth and I had opened all our presents and cards, Mum gave me another parcel to open.
"It's your shirt to wear tonight," she said. "Now, where is my dress?" Looking Mum in the eye, I explained that I hadn't actually said I was going to buy her a dress, but her parcel was on the settee. Her slightly puzzled look turned into a squeal of delight, and she ran into the lounge. I heard paper tearing...and then silence. Then, she re appeared, carrying three scraps of black silk and lace.
"These - are for me?" she asked.
"Oh yes" I replied, "On your fantastic body they'll look great".
"But who will see them?" Mum asked.
"I intend to" I said, smiling innocently. With that I jumped up, gave Mum a hard kiss on the lips, squeezed her arse cheeks briefly, and went out.
That evening, after spending the day with friends, I went back home to pick up Mum for our 'date'. As she walked down the stairs, I had to stop myself from dragging her back upstairs there and then! She was wearing a silk dove grey dress, with thin shoulder straps and low cut over her full breasts, and showed quite a bit of cleavage. Not too much to appear slutty, but enough to warrant a second and even a third look. The dress hugged her figure down to her hips, where it flared out in pleats. On a woman with legs as long as my Mothers, it was definitely classed as a mini dress.
"Well, how do I look?" she asked, doing a little twirl as she spoke. This caused the hem of her dress to rise up, giving me just the slightest glimpse of dark stocking top and bare thigh.
"My God, if you weren't my Mother..." I replied. Ruth smiled.
"Let's pretend I'm not your Mum for the evening then. How about that?"
"Fine with me" I replied, and grabbed her round the waist, pulling her to me and kissing her hard, worming my tongue into her mouth. Almost immediately, she kissed me back, thrusting her tongue against mine. My hands almost automatically went to the cheeks of her arse, squeezing them and feeling the outline of the small lace knickers I had bought her. She rubbed her crotch against my rapidly growing erection, and she moaned into my mouth. She broke off our kiss, dropping one hand down to gently rub my rock hard dick through my trousers.
"OK, this is the rule. Whatever happens tonight is just happening tonight, never again."
"Suppose you enjoy it?" I suggested, rubbing my hands lightly over her hips, feeling the suspender belt I knew would be there. "Suppose I fuck you so well, and you enjoy it so much, you beg me to fuck you again, and to involve you in a threesome with Emma?" I swear my Mum had a little orgasm when I said that. She was breathing hard, her nipples almost burst through her bra and the silk dress she was wearing, and I could smell her pussy.
"Oh well, once a slut always a slut, that's what your Dad used to say about me! Come on, let's go to dinner."
By a coincidence, we knew the cab driver, so we had to behave in the taxi on the short journey into town. When we got to the restaurant, I made sure that I got out of the taxi quickly and opened the car door for Mum. As she got out, she made sure that her skirt rode up enough to give me a glimpse of the stocking tops and black panties. I knew it would be at least a couple of hours before we got home, and if she kept flirting and flashing at me all the time, I was likely to cum in my trousers. That would be a waste, as I could think of at least three places on my Mums hot body that I intended to cum over in the very near future. Although the restaurant in the hotel was superb, and the food wonderful, I hardly knew what I ate. Purely because Ruth spent the whole meal turning me on, either by sucking on her breadstick, or leaning forward over the table and displaying her ample cleavage to me and the grateful waiter, or adjusting her stocking top in full view of the couple sat at the next table.
When I called for the bill, Mum excused herself and went off to the ladies room. She was gone almost 10 minutes, and when she returned, I could see her nipples were rock hard.
"What have you been doing?" I asked with a grin.
"Oh Simon, I'm sorry but I am so horny I had to have a wank in the toilet! I am desperate for you!"
"Well," I replied "I hate to keep a lady waiting. Come on, let's go home."
The taxi ride home was more fun than our earlier trip had been. Ruth and I sat close together, and she brazenly rubbed my cock through my trousers as I teased her by running my fingers up and down the soft skin of her thigh above her stocking top, and just grazing the material of her panties, but purposely not touching her cunt. About half way home, she suddenly rammed my hand up her skirt and started to kiss my neck and face passionately. Her movements made her short skirt ride up over her hips and I knew the taxi driver could see everything in his rear view mirror. Although the journey only took 10 minutes or so, I thought we would never get home.
As I paid the fare, with Ruth standing behind me massaging my ass through my trousers, the driver said to me
"She's hot isn't she? Give her one for me won't you mate?" Ruth giggled behind me.
"I want him to give me more than one tonight. Here is a little extra tip for you." She turned round, bent over and flipped the hem of her short skirt up. The g-string panties I had bought her had vanished up the crack of her wonderful arse, and the black lace suspenders and the matching stockings framed her backside. The taxi driver moaned with pleasure as Ruth wiggled her bum at him. Then she stood up
"Sorry, gotta go now, we have got some serious fucking to do haven't we son?" I shot a glance at the taxi driver, who hadn't realised my mother had called me 'son'. I just smiled at him as he drove off.
As soon as we got the front door shut my Mother and I kissed, our tongues darting into each other's mouths. Ruth broke the kiss first, and started to unbutton my shirt. As she pulled it off, she said
"If we are going to do this properly, let's go to bed now!" With that she turned and headed up the stairs. I made a point of waiting a few seconds before following her so I could see up her short skirt. It was worth the wait. Her panties had vanished up her behind and both her cheeks swayed as she climbed the stairs. As a confirmed 'stockings man' the sight of those long, silk clad legs was almost too much to bear.
I walked into my Mother's bedroom and shut the door behind me. Ruth stood there, breathing hard, her nipples poking through her dress.
"Turn round" I ordered. She now faced a full-length mirror. I stood behind her, and slipped the thin straps of her dress off her shoulders. With a faint 'swish' the dress slithered to the ground. Looking over her shoulder, I gazed at the reflection of my Mother in the mirror, wearing just the matching underwear I had bought her. She was leaning back against me, one arm against her side, the other rubbing up and down my thigh. Her breast strained against the confines of her bra, the nipples visible through the thin material. Her g- string, low on her hips, the front damp with her excitement vanishing between her legs. The suspender belt tight round her slim waist, the straps taught, holding up the lace top stockings, leaving 5 or 6 inches of bare skin.
I unclipped her bra, and her tits sagged slightly. I cupped them with my hands, enjoying the feel of her soft skin, and flicking my thumbs over her hard nipples. Ruth gasped, arching her back as if to fill my hands even more. I let my hands wonder down over her ribs, her stomach, down to her groin. I could feel the heat of her cunt as I traced a finger over her panties. I rubbed my erect prick up and down between the valley of her arse cheeks and gently bit her earlobe as I whispered
"Watch me, Watch me as I finger fuck you." Ruth let out a sob as my finger wormed its way under the wet elastic of her panties.
"My God, you're wet!" I exclaimed as I stuck a finger in her.
"Wet and hot" Ruth groaned, humping her hips up to meet my finger. Her hands scrabbled behind her, reaching for the zip on my uncomfortably tight trousers. She screamed as I stuck a second finger up her sopping wet cunt. My thumb found the nub of her clitoris and I rubbed it gently. I swear if I hadn't been supporting her, she would have collapsed on the floor.
"Oh my God Simon, I'm cumming! Your making me cum!! Look at me, I'm cumming on your hand!!" Indeed she was. My hand was drenched to the wrist in her juices, and with my other hand I twisted her nipples. Ruth managed to get my prick out of my trousers and was wanking me as she watched herself in the mirror being finger fucked by her own son. Although it felt (and looked) fabulous, I told mum to stop wanking me or I was going to cum. She laughed, reluctantly took my fingers out of her cunt, and dropped to her knees in front of me.
"Now it's your turn. Watch your mother give you the best blow job of your young life." Pausing only to pull my trousers and pants down, she licked the drops of pre cum off my dick. Then, looking up at me, she opened her mouth and engulfed my cock. She was right. It was the best blowjob I had ever had. I felt her tongue run along the sensitive underside of my cock, whilst she cupped my aching balls with her hand. I looked in the mirror and saw the wonderful sight of my mother, dressed only in black lace stockings and suspender belt and a tiny g-string on her knees sucking me off. As I watched, I saw Ruth slide one hand between her own thighs and, pushing the sodden material of her panties to one side, start to finger fuck herself. That was it. I felt myself start to cum.
"Oh God. Don't stop, I'm gonna cum" I shouted.
"Yes, yes, cum in your Mothers mouth. Oh I want your spunk so much!"
With that, I came, sending ribbons of hot spunk shooting into my Mothers receptive mouth. Some she swallowed, and then, with a delicious grin, she opened her mouth and let the rest dribble over her lips and down onto her full tits.
I fell back onto the bed. Ruth stood up and rubbed the spunk into her tits.
"End of round one. Here comes round two", She laughed. With that, she wiggled out of her sopping wet panties and threw them on the floor. Seeing her nearly naked, with her reddish brown cunt hair matted with her own juices quickly gave me another hard on.
"I know this is wrong, but if I don't get some of your cock, I'm gonna explode. Get ready to fuck your own Mother!" Ruth crawled up the bed, pausing only to plant a swift kiss on the head of my prick. She straddled my crotch, grabbing my prick and rubbing the head up and down the exposed lips of her cunt.
"Do you want me Simon? Do you want to fuck your own Mother? Tell me, do you?"
"Yes!" I shouted, "Sit on my dick and let me fuck you till I fill your cunt with my cum. I want to fuck you now Mum!"
As I said that she lowered herself onto my dick. The feeling was amazing. Her cunt was tight and red hot, and yet so wet that I slid into her easily. Ruth shut her eyes and shuddered with delight as she bobbed up and down on my prick. I reached up and cupped her breasts, lightly pinching her nipples. I let her do all the work for a minute or so, and just lay there enjoying the view and the fantastic feeling her cunt was giving me. Then I reached up, grabbing her by the back of the neck and bringing her down to lay on me. We kissed wetly as I began to hump my hips up and down, fucking her as hard as I could. I slid my hands down onto her arse cheeks, feeling the muscles taut under the skin.
"Oh God yes, fuck me lover", Ruth screamed. "Fuck your Mother hard. I know you want to, I've heard you and Emma talking about it as you fucked each other. I wanted to come in and join you both, and now I wish I had...Oh God, I'm cumming again...yes...yes...fuck meeee!"
I stopped my hard thrusts, instead just sliding the head of my cock in and out of her cunt. When Ruth recovered, I slapped her on the arse and told her to roll off.
"I'm going to fuck you from behind and fill your cunt with my cum now."
My Mother positioned herself on the bed, with that wonderful arse sticking up into the air. Her stocking tops were soaking in her juices, and the lips of her cunt were red and glistening. As I knelt behind her, she reached between her legs and guided my cock into her pussy.
"Oh yes, do it now, doggy fuck me, quickly. Stick your big hard cock into your Mothers cunt."
More than happy to oblige, I thrust into her, making her groan. As I pumped her, I ran my hands up and down her long, stocking clad legs, before sliding one hand round to rub her clit. My Mother screamed out again as her forth orgasm of the night shot through her.
"Look at the mirror", I told her. Groaning with pleasure, my Mother looked. It was an impressive sight. She was kneeling on the bed, her hands grabbing the pillows, her hair messed up and matted with sweat. Her naked breasts, the nipples engorged, swung as we fucked. And there was me, her son, kneeling between her spread legs, pausing so she could see my prick, wet with her juices. Grabbing hold of her hips, I began to thrust hard into her. Our bodies made a wet, slapping sound as we fucked, and I could feel the familiar feeling of my own orgasm approaching. I gripped her hips harder, speeding up my thrusts.
"I'm cumming", I hissed through gritted teeth.
"Yes, cum in my cunt Simon. Fill me up with your cum. Give it to me now!"
With one final thrust, I came, sending my spunk deep into my Mothers waiting pussy. Her head was deep in the pillows, but I still heard her cries as she orgasmed as I filled her up.
Breathing heavily, I collapsed on the bed beside my Mother. I watched as my sperm trickled out of her cunt and began to soak into her sheets. She rolled over, and grabbed my now flaccid prick.
"You remember when I said whatever happened tonight was a once off? Well, I've changed my mind. I want to be fucked like that as often as you can manage it."
"But what about Emma? After all, she is my girlfriend", I asked, as I lightly traced a finger around her right nipple.
"Hell, bring her along. The more the merrier!"

We began this during our 2nd 9 weeks for the Weaving requirement in the curriculum. I haven't really tried the fabric strips with 2nd grade yet...I've always started them on yarn...which helps me out 2 years later when they create an embroidered monogram...this experience with threading needles and tying knots is so valuable!
Anyway, they created these on cardboard looms using yarn and plastic needles. We took about 4-5 class periods to complete these. I found a large loom in the art closet and decided it would be awesome to have a collaborative weaving they could work on for our art show. Can't wait till the big one gets finished!

I thought this was a great collection. Especially considering that I didn't care much for the fall collection, but I loved everything about it; the inspiration, the details and the shoes (OMG THE SHOES!)
This was the first look in the show. Precise Perfection, if you will. Yeah, it's kind of odd, and no one would probably be able to pull it off in real life, but it's so chic and practical and practical is the future.
Perfectly modern for a girl in the city. I'm loving the stark quality and those marvelous shoes.
This is SO cool! Perfectly put together, but in a nonchalant way. Love the pants and the awesome platforms that no doubt lurk under those giant flared legs.
How amazingly Chanel is this dress! It's weird but it's about the chicest thing I've ever seen. The kind of dress that would surely land certain celebrities on the worst dressed list, but you know it's just that the world is wrong and the world is not ready for FASHION.
That was kinda lame right? But you know what I mean...

|About the Student Health Fee and the University Health Center
Every term in which you are enrolled, you are charged a student health fee as part of your "mandatory fees." This fee entitles you to access to the University Health Center, which provides a host of comprehensive services at low cost. These include:
Eligibility. All students who register for classes and are charged mandatory fees are eligible for services. Students who are not registered for classes in a given term are not eligible unless they pay a "stop-out" fee. Call the Health Center for details. Also not eligible are dependents and partners of students, students enrolled only in Community Education or self-support courses, faculty and staff.
Cost. Most services at the University Health Center are much less expensive than at a private health provider. The standard charge for an appointment with a physician, dentist or nurse practitioner is only $15. Some other services may be more expensive than $15, while others are available at no charge. If you have any questions about charges please be sure to ask your health care provider.
Paying for Services. Students may pay for services with cash, by check, or by asking to have the costs charged to their UO student account. Your student account can be billed for office visit costs and all lab tests, x-rays, medications, shots, physical therapy, sports medicine, and special procedures. When your student account is charged, it is like any other university expense such as tuition, fees, library fines or parking permits. You can view your student account at anytime on Duckweb.The Health Center does not accept debit or credit cards.
Billing Insurance Companies. Currently the Health Center does not bill insurance companies. However, upon request, we can provide you with an itemized insurance billing statement that you can send to your insurance company to reimburse you for services you received at the University Health Center.

You might date the final triumph of New Thought over mid-century pragmatism to the relocation of Harper & Row's venerable religious division. In 1977, the old Protestant imprint moved to New Agesoaked San Francisco, land of Esalen, yoga, est, and Human Potential. Nine years later, it partnered with the Hazelden clinic to publish Melody Beattie's Codependent No More. Suddenly, the jargon of AA became the jargon of the USA. Linda Loewenthal, who led self-help beacon Harmony Books, calls the recovery boom my awakening to the power of naming something. And, actually, recovery named everything, defining every problem as a personal illness to be conqueredtoxic parents, women who love too much, obesity, excessive shopping, and above all codependency, which could potentially encompass any human relationship.
Recovery-inspired self-help replaced doctors, priests, and therapists (and maybe even parents, senators, and teachers) with public personalities who gave names to the problems of millions. In the insecure nineties, these Martin Luthers translated elite (and expensive) knowledge into news Americans could use. Suze Orman had worked at Merrill Lynch before ending up a financial counselor to the recently laid off. Then she pitched a book to Esther Margolis, the head of self-help publisher Newmarket Press. Now Orman's the preeminent adviser to a downsized middle class. Deepak Chopra was a doctor at Tufts and Boston University who turned to meditation. He went to Harmony Books with his 1993 breakthrough, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old. In one soothing voice, East met West, the mind met the body, and the aging boomers met their age-defying guru.
The more the healers (and their conditions) proliferated, the harder it became for customers to figure out where to focus their limited time, money, and attention. It made sense that by 2000, our biggest guru wasn't a writer but a new pope, Oprah Winfrey, whose brand lay in the power to ordain others. Like that other millennial guide, Malcolm Gladwell, she was a curator rather than a creator. But every one of her favorite things reflected her glow, from the corniest health program to the strangest New Age manifesto. Eckhart Tolle's metaphysical The Power of Now had an initial printing of 3,000 copies in 1997. Five years later, around the time Oprah named it a personal favorite, it became a best seller. So did equally esoteric The Secret, a magical-thinking throwback to New Thought. Even the novels she selected, from The Corrections to The Road, instantly became not just blockbusters but launching points for discussions about relationships and personal growthhowtos with an aesthetic kick.
Oprah helped create a landscape in which anything can be self-helpso long as it isn't the narrowly defined howtoism of old. Greg Brandenburgh, an alumnus of Harper San Francisco, once made a staple of illness primers. What you're looking for is to publish on conditions that are chronic and incurable, he half-jokes. But where recovery books pathologized the public, current best sellers target what Heather Jackson, an editor at Harmony, calls the worried well looking to optimize, to make their lives that much better. Jackson saw this coming when she took on Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek. His life-hacking manifesto aims to cure not a sickness but something we used to consider a fairly natural stateinefficiency.
The self-made Ferriss notwithstanding, the peddlers of the new efficiency don't much resemble the gurus of old. More often, they present themselves humbly as journalists or social scientists exploring new research frontiers for our benefit. Somebody's gonna kill me for saying this, says the editor Caroline Sutton, when asked what kicked off the trend of essayistic self-help. But I think it was The Tipping Point, Gladwell's 2000 argument for the power of social connections, which made it safe for techies and business typesand, more generally, mento read about bettering themselves. The whole idea of showing that there is a counterintuitive way of looking at information, to make you understand yourself in a completely different waythat's been game-changing, Sutton says.
You could argue that the marriage of self-help and social science began a few years earlier with Daniel Goleman, a bridge between self-help's New Age past and its journalist-driven, label-defying present. A Harvard Ph.D. and a science reporter for the New York Times, Goleman had also co-written a book on meditation with psychedelic pioneer Ram Dass. For a book subverting the importance of IQ, he went to editor Toni Burbank, a veteran self-help guru at Bantam Books. Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ spent more than a year on the Times best-seller listits general rundown, not the ghetto of Advice, How-To, and Miscellaneous.
It was Goleman who introduced Loewenthal, now an agent, to the science journalist Sharon Begley. Her book, which she wanted to title Train the Mind, Change the Brain, touted fMRI scans showing that meditating Buddhist monks could literally reshape their brains. Loewenthal sold the book to Sutton, then at Random House and now arguably the reigning queen of Big Idea self-help. Sutton publishes the Penguin imprint Hudson Street Press, putting out at least a dozen titles per year explicitly focused on nonfiction with a strong takeaway. Sutton eventually suggested changing Begley's title to Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain, and with those two pronouns, a 2007 self-help best seller was born.

This is a special, month long progressive destash giveaway for my followers :)
If you're not a follower, then you're not eligible :p
Each Friday I'll post a photo of some items that will be added into the 'pot'.
This weeks destash addition - a hank of vintage black seed beads, and a string of.. well, we'll call them mystery beads. I have no idea what kind they are aside from being silver in color. They were part of a batch of I bought that contained the vintage beads. I did have plans for them- a mixed media necklace that I'd sketched out and had the beads all picked out to go with it... but the impulse to make it faded and I turned to different styles >.<
I do that a lot... thus, the destash ;)
All you have to do to enter is be a follower and comment saying you're interested in winning :)
You can comment once each post, and there will be a new post with a new addition to the destash each Friday AT LEAST ... I may do the odd surprise extra post depending on my mood and what all I find as I sort through my goodies :)

"After 25 years, I thought it was time to shakes things up and reinvent the restaurant, while not completely straying from the concept that has earned us such a loyal following over the years," said owner Bruno Serato, who said that nearly all of the pasta, fish and chicken entrees are still on the menu. "Embracing this level of quality in terms of beef and game is a commitment. It's expensive product...the finest in the world. Our guests, though, have expressed an interest in having us broaden our core menu to include more steak and game offerings and we're delighted to serve them."

A tale of two countries
WHY ON earth isn't Simon Gerada playing for Australia?
That's the question many people who know anything about Australian table tennis are asking when they see Gerada smashing forehand and backhand winners playing for Malta.
Sure, Gerada's father Joe was born in Malta and is the national team coach, but Simon and his brother Wayne, who is also representing Malta, were born and bred in Melbourne after the family emigrated here some three decades ago.
Simon played for Australia in the Sydney Olympics and five years ago was Australia's No. 2 player enjoying a ranking in the top 180 in the world. Gerada's is a cautionary tale of youthful burnout, poor athlete management by officials, and no doubt some hotheadedness on the part of a young player.
The trouble began with Gerada's horrendous performance at the Sydney Olympics. Crushed with disappointment Gerada headed back to Europe, where he had a professional contract.
But what was ailing him was mental. After six years of training and playing table tennis for six hours a day, the then 19-year-old needed a rest, and returned to Australia in January 2001.
"But day one of coming back I got a phone call saying, 'Come to training'," he said this week.
The Australian squad was preparing for the world championships, the team for which would be selected two months later. It was part of Gerada's contract with Table Tennis Australia that he train with the squad while in the country but after a two-hour session he walked out, telling an official he could not cope.
According to Gerada, he requested, as the No. 2 ranked player in the nation, to be included in the Australian side but was denied because he had breached his contract and not trained with the squad. Despite entreaties from a Victorian Institute of Sport official and sports psychologist, the selectors would not back down.
So, Gerada chose to take up the offer of his father's homeland and play for Malta — an offer he had originally rejected after the Sydney Olympics — where he would receive a wage from the federation there as well as earnings from tournaments and European club duties.
"I'd been playing the sport for six years professionally, hard at it. And where had (Australia) been for the past five years, when were (they) feeding me? I was eating toast before my last league match because I was struggling with money," he said. "But at the age of 19 I came home and said I need a break … and they weren't there for me, the officials."
The cost was three years out of the game at international level and the likelihood he will never play for Australia again. You get the feeling that when Gerada reflects as a 25-year-old on his actions as a teenager, there are some regrets. But Gerada, who now has dual citizenship and has moved back to Melbourne, stands by his actions.
"That's life. But I do want to say that I am indebted to Malta," Gerada said.
He said table tennis was an individual sport — on the court "you are playing for yourself, you are not playing for Malta or Australia".
Or is he, in some respect, playing for both? "Yeah, maybe, I'm a proud Australian, and proud Maltese."
CAPITAL: Valletta
MELBOURNE 2006: 33 athletes.
MANCHESTER 2002: One bronze, in men's double trap indoor shooting, to William Chetcuti.
MOST GOLD MEDALS AT A COMMONWEALTH GAMES: None.
RECORDS: No Commonwealth Games records.
HOSTING: Has never hosted a Commonwealth Games.
TRIVIA: Britain formally took possession of Malta in 1814. The island supported Britain through both world wars, its people's bravery during World War II earning them the George Cross. It stayed in the Commonwealth after independence in 1964, becoming a republic in 1974. It joined the European Union in 2004.

What separates out Spotify from products that offer similar services is that it has secured its contract with record companies, making it legal. It has also included a social aspect where it can connect your Facebook/Twitter account to the application. Now you can see which One Direction song that old mate Bobby Bob is listening too or even send Bob a song to listen to.
First launched in Europe in 2006 it has amassed over 10 million users and is soon to hit the Australasian market. For New Zealanders the uptake shouldn't be an issue, it would be the mobile data plans that would hinder maximum potential.Spotify bridges that gap of pirating music and paying for music closer together, record companies would be insane not to sign up as it's a another revenue stream. From a consumers perspective all is not for free as there is opportunity to advertise on this platform and consumers will see the brunt of this. However you can pay per month to get Spotify's premium product which will allow you to access it on a mobile device and see no advertising.
Spotify launched on the 22nd of May here in NZ and discovered some handy features:
- Apps
- Friends list
- Playlists
- Radio (to connect artists with similar artists)
- Importing your local content from hard drive onto Spotify
I've had a bit of fool around on this and it has somehow become part of my life, goodbye iTunes and illegal file sharing. As everyone has different personalities in our office I thought it would be good to see what music inspires us in our day to day work. I have compiled a playlist of PHDiQ's pickup tracks - which you can subscribe to "PHDiQ Work Out Songs" to experience our full emotions.
- Anna Woods: "Back on the chain gang" – Pretenders
- Polly Williams: "Dutchies" - Shapeshifter

Product Information
Stress Buster affect on the body/mind
Negative sensory input or negative thoughts and emotions cause the neuropeptides to cause the bodies cellular structure to begin top break down. The same effect happens in the immune and endocrine system which causes them to lower their ability to protect us against stress and illness. The electrical field around the body must be strong to ward of disease factors. As the body frequency rises the electrical and auric field weakens. This electrical field is described as Chi, Ki or Prana. It gives a person more overall strength, vitality and protection.
The following is a greatly simplified explanation of the theory behind the Stress Buster. The information which causes the various parts of the body to operate is carried by the body's neurological network system. The brain serves as a "switching network center" that directs the information across the network to the appropriate parts of the body with electrical impulses through the meridian system and with chemicals known as neuropeptides and cytikinins. These are all connected through a computer network from three levels of the mind. Each computer system networks with a mainframe computer known as the Inner Conscious Mind and the Subconscious Mind. The Subconscious mind acts as the data base storage memory or hard disc for all programs and habit patterns. All three systems must work together or we will encounter malfunctions in the software that we describe as anger, fear, I am not all right, rejection, abandonment, resentment, need for control, manipulation and relationship conflicts. This causes breakdowns in the hardware which we describe as disease and illness or mental depression etc.
Each cell is mini network computer that receives its orders from the mind through the neurological system. Electrolytes, neuropeptides, and cytokinins in the body are carriers. When operating properly they maintain a delicate balance of chemicals, like the storage battery in your car. When they go out of balance or get run down, the electromagnetic fields breakdown. The result is your batteries are run down. The body loses its ability to protect itself properly. The ability for the brain/mind to communicate with the cellular computers breaks down and the body becomes subject to attack by diseases, illness and outside forces. When the physical body is in harmony, it functions at 12 to 25 Hertz. However, stress and emotional conflict cause the internal frequency to rise to 4000 to 6000 Hertz. When this happens, it becomes more difficult for neuropeptides, electrolytes, and the neurological system to transmit electrical impulses through the body/mind network. The rise in frequency causes all body tissues from the skin to the organs and endocrine system to be subject to stress, breakdown causing accelerated aging. This is the most damaging effect of increased stress and high frequency. The result is illness depression, chronic fatigue, emotional instability and life threatening disease. Metabolism is affected due to breakdown of the function of the endocrine glands as a result, nutrition supplied to the body slows down. Feeling tired and depleted causes chronic fatigue and depression is the result. As the internal frequency rises past 50 Hertz the good happy brain chemicals begin to shut down and the adrenals kick in larger doses of adrenaline to keep you functioning. The end result of this is adrenal insufficiency as the adrenals are overworked. They begin to produce less and less adrenaline. When production drops to 20% or less of chronic fatigue begins set in. It is similar to low blood sugar caused by hypoglycemia which leads to diabetes but, high frequency causes breakdown in all systems of the body. The end result is Chronic Fatigue, Epstein Bar or other forms of distress which leads to clinical depression. Many people run to the doctor and begin taking Prozac, Zantac, Zolov, Valeium, Paxel or other mind altering drugs. These are described as anti depressant drugs. You can get addicted to these feeling good drugs because they suppress the symptom and cause the brain switching network to believe the symptom of total body malfunction is a false message. The major dysfunction most people suffer from is adrenal exhaustion. When Adrenal function drops below 20% you go into adrenal exhaustion which is clinical depression in medical terms.
With the StressBlocker the body can recover bringing the frequency down allowing the body to operate at 25 Hertz. The Adrenals can heal and resume their normal operating level.
The StressBlocker Concept
Every living being in the universe has a particular frequency that it resonates at when it is in perfect health. Each component of that beings body also resonates at a particular frequency. If the stress places conflict and disrupts this frequency the particular cellular structure the organ or gland is weakened and will be subject to breakdown, disease or illness.
If you take two matched tuning forks holding one across the room from the other and hit one, the other one will vibrate at the same frequency. Your body does the same thing. When you are subject to forms of negative vibrations of stress, fear, anger, or resentment in your environment, you begin to identify with this reactive environment and your body begins to resonate with that vibration. If you go into flight or fight your adrenals kick in causing a strain on the immune and endocrine system. A strong dose of adrenaline helps you handle the situation. With this stress situation the adrenaline level in your body increases the energy level to cope with the perceived stress, danger, fear or anger. Under normal circumstances your brain should signal that the stress is over. Your body should get of shot of nor-adrenaline as an antidote so we can return to normal energy and frequency level. When the stress passes we should return to 15 to 25 Hertz or cycles per second. But, if you live in stress, survival, fear or confrontive conditions your body frequency will rise to 4000 to 6000 cycles per second remain there. It may not return to a peaceful state if the stress continues over a period of time.
At this time we have tested people with frequencies up to 6000 cycles per second which is over 100 times higher that it should be. The result will be that you begin to function on adrenaline as your body frequency continues to rise and maintain this stress level. The ideal 12 to 18 Hz. no longer exists as our body can not return to the ideal frequency due to stress. We have found this to be the case with over 95% of the population.
This unit acts as both an ELF generator that radiates the earth resonance signal and a high frequency 9.216 Mg Hz which is the ideal frequency for functioning of the body. The body/mind will identify with the frequency that has the strongest effect on it. The Stress Buster creates a fifteen foot wide circle of energy around the body which causes the body to identify with this frequency level and block out other frequencies that are stressful to the body. All of the brain chemicals such as Interlukens, Serratonin, Interferon etc. all operate at the earth resonance 12 to 25 Hertz. The immune system and the endocrine system work more effectively when there is no load on the adrenal glands.
Operation of the Stress Buster
Every living being in the universe has a particular frequency that it resonates at when it is in perfect health. Each component of that beings body also resonates at a particular frequency. If the stress places conflict and disrupts this frequency the particular cellular structure the organ or gland is weakened and will be subject to breakdown, disease or illness The Stress Buster balances all the electrical, metabolic and electromagnetic systems that are dysfunctional shutting out the disharmonious stress that causes the body to elevate its frequency. It is operating at fifth dimensional energy. It strengthens all the systems of the body by bringing down the frequency to the optimum level for perfect health. To be in balance, most devices, plants and animals have positive and negative energies that rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. This creates a balance in the electrical system. A few plants such as Garlic, Onion, and some herbs radiate a double positive field, hence their antibiotic, healing qualities. The Stress Buster also radiates a double positive field which explains the response it creates.
For more than 200 years of recorded history the earth frequency or Schuman Resonance was 7.83 Hz or cycles per second. Recent research has shown that it has risen to between 13.5. Our original Harmonizers were built at 7.83 Hz. We had been increasing the frequency along with Schuman resonance. The body will identify with this frequency and resonate with this frequency blocking out other interference. When it is subjected to contact with the Stress Buster for a period of time the body will duplicate the Stress Buster frequency. It may be up to three days depending on the level at which your frequency has risen. When you are inside the 15 foot diameter bubble of the electromagnetic field you will notice your body begin to slowdown and relax. When your body/mind resonates at this optimum level for a period of time the body begins to heal. You may notice that the Stress Buster needs to be recharged more often than once a week in the beginning. If your body energy is low and you have been under considerable stress this will draw the batteries down faster as the unit interfaces and responds to your body energy level. We have had reports that people have had to charge the battery as often as every two days in the beginning.
High Frequency Unit
When we began our search we were building a low frequency Earth Resonance Generator. We continued our research for a high frequency that would accomplish what we were looking for checking through hundreds of frequencies in locating the best possible level. Little did we know that this particular frequency we choose was only .020 off the actual frequency that the "Arc of the Covenant" functions at. (Described in the Bible. Also the feature in the movie Indiana Jones)
We now have discovered why this frequency is so powerful. It apparently is a universal frequency that will activate the bodies healing modalities. Anything or anybody who emits a negative energy is repelled by this frequency. To achieve the end result we wanted we had to redesign the whole circuit and the coil, plus use a slightly larger box to get the rechargeable battery pack to fit. What we have now is a unit that will run on a much lower power requirement besides being more effective.
Tesla Theory and Technology
We asked some electronic wizards, radio frequency engineers and some physicists why we were getting a clear AC sine wave coupled with a scalar wave without the circuitry to produce it. All they could say was that we are in hyper dimensional physics and it over their head. They could not explain it. One comment was you are into Tesla and Einstein's realm we do not understand what you are doing. We are apparently producing an output that no one understands nor has any history of this effect been recorded as far as we can see from our research.
The StressBlocker generate a bio-electrical magnetic field using electromagnetic field technology developed by Nikola Tesla in the early 1900's. The coil-antennae produces a Scalar Wave Field described as a longitudinal wave field that functions outside of third dimensional space/time. Since it operates outside of space time in our third dimensional world based on hyper dimensional physics it is unencumbered by the limitations of conventional physics rules. Scalar waves operate within the etheric field which surrounds the body.
When shifted to the new unit we were working with two new research consultants and a builder that was a project engineer. We now have on our team a Radio Frequency engineer and Physicist. They seem to understand what we are working on and have offered suggestions on how to improve the Stress Buster. They have said, " It appears as far as we can understand, that we are in at the threshold of a new discovery that has not been experienced in quantum physics at this time." They have not been able to measure the Scalar fields output as it functions outside of conventional physical principles. We have been able to measure the radio frequency which indicates that it is the carrier wave field.
Background and History
With today's new computer technology and micro electronics we have been able to reduce the size of the Tesla's original setup by 90%. We have refined the circuitry now that 8th generation unit is much more efficient and uses much less battery current. Originally we used 9 volt batteries. The unit used one a week which was quite expensive. We shifted to AA Nicad batteries but they have a charging memory causing them to breakdown. We now use Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. they have no charging memory plus they last up four years. The first prototype that we built did not have a very strong field, yet it worked very well. We knew we were on to something so we continued our research. The production unit has a 800 milivolt output. The first unit of the current design had triple wound bifiler toroid ferrite iron core coil that was absorbing two thirds of the output. Our RF engineer suggested we use a plastic or a non reactive ring. With more research they suggested we go to a bar antennae. We discovered it put out three times the power in the field. There are no instruments to measure a Scalar field at this time, but we can pick up the radio frequency.

Bubba Burrage will visit Indiana State this weekend. And barring unforeseen unpleasantness, the 6-foot-7 senior from Santa Clara High will sign a letter of intent to play basketball at the Terra Haute, Ind., school for the next four years.
"I'm pretty sure that's where I want to go," Burrage said. "It's basketball country. I'm really looking forward to the visit."
Burrage, who helped Santa Clara to the State Division IV championship this season, has been courted in recent weeks by Indiana State Coach Tates Locke, who was hired two months ago. Locke visited with Burrage on Wednesday.
"He's seen me play twice and seems to want me on his team," said Burrage, who added that Indiana State's deliberate, disciplined style is similar to that of Santa Clara under Coach Lou Cvijanovich.

The search and shortlisting of properties is only the start of the TBS service, we also carry out extensive due diligence on every chosen property and provide impartial advice on price and any other issues which could affect a client's future with the property. These include planning and environmental issues, renovation costs and feasibility of carrying out these works, blights, income and running costs, privacy, commutability, schooling and amenities.
Each property search begins with an initial consultation, either by phone or in person, where we create a bespoke plan of action that will be tailored to you based on the type of property you require as well as your ownership aims. By fully understanding and anticipating your current and future property requirements we can target specific areas and property types, shortlisting on and off-market opportunities which closely match your lifestyle needs or financial objectives.
We visit each property and then draw up a shortlist prior to your viewing, ensuring that 'all boxes are ticked.' Only after we are satisfied that it is priced correctly and fulfils your requirements do we recommend a personal accompanied viewing, all of this saving you time and effort.
If a client is interested in making an offer, the process then moves on to the negotiation, due diligence and finally, acquisition.
Every negotiation is different and each therefore requires a careful tactical approach. Our collective experience and expertise, combined with painstaking due diligence carried out on every property purchased, provides a high level of comfort to our clients.
Our extensive track record allows us to acquire your chosen properties at the best possible price, often saving substantial amounts of money throughout the process.
We are creative when it comes to negotiating on your behalf and our aim is always to secure the property on the best available terms and to place you, whenever possible, in a 'preferred purchaser' position. It is not always the case that the highest offer succeeds.
Once terms are agreed, we work with your solicitor or other advisors, assisting with any issues that might affect the terms of purchase.
At TBS we leave no stone unturned when it comes to protecting your best interests. The search is only the start of the service as we carry out extensive due diligence on the property, providing impartial advice on price and any other issues that might affect your on-going enjoyment. These are then presented to you in a bespoke buying report.
Once terms are agreed and due diligence is undertaken, we work with lawyers, accountants and financers, through to exchange of contracts. We pride ourselves as 'problem solvers' but often these solutions will involve renegotiation of terms and we are not afraid to tell you when we believe they might be deal breakers.
In every conveyance of property the prospective purchaser should conduct some level of due diligence toward investigating the quality, both physical and intangible. Working with lawyers, surveyors, architects, planning advisors and financers, we undertake comprehensive due diligence which may include:
Only when we are entirely satisfied that the property meets exact standards and all incidental factors are in order, do we recommend that you proceed.
Once terms are agreed, we work with your solicitor or other advisors, assisting with any issues that might affect the terms of purchase.
Each client has different property requirements and we provide a bespoke service to cover every single aspect of your individual needs, a relationship that continues beyond exchange of contracts, starting with our Completion Management service.
As buying agents, the majority of our work lies in finding the right property and negotiating the best possible terms for you, but we don't stop there. We think it's important that your new property feels like home as soon as you put the key in the door.
It's the little things that matter. That's why we'll help you settle in to your new property, taking care of everything from an inspection on the day of completion before final monies are released, setting up accounts to recruitment of staff.
Whether purchasing a family home in the country for example, or an investment opportunity in London, our relationship with you goes beyond exchange of contracts.
Taking into account your lifestyle needs or financial objectives, we continue to advise and assist with anything from property management, changing utility suppliers to organising quotes for rental furniture, introducing architects or recommending trusted lettings agents.
We'll also help you settle into the community, providing local recommendations such as the best schools or restaurants and assisting with any future property needs.

Dove calendar
typography assignment
typography assignment
Dove calendar was a college project that is showing real women, with real skin, with no extreme photoshopping. The message is that every woman has something beautiful on herself, she just has to recognize it and has to show it in her best way.
Calendar shows every interesting, sensual part of women's body on which are hand-written numbers. It gives doze of intimacy, personality and tactility, feeling that those are real women that we can "touch" all around us. It also says that every women can recognize themselves on some of the photo, that they can recognize some part of their body that is beautiful.

As a fan of crime fiction, I loved Promise. Although it was written in noir style, Cavanaugh managed to keep the dryness out of Promise that I find so prevalent in other noir style books. The characters were real, and flawed, which is always a bonus for a mere human such as myself. I also found some really witty parts in the book that made me laugh out loud. Also, Cavanaugh's brilliant description of the characters environment allowed me to feel as though I was there. The imagery was great.
I liked being able to get inside the killers head and hear his justification for the murders. That always interests me in a psychological sense and Cavanaugh did it most convincingly. I also appreciated that the truly gory parts were left to the imagination, even though referred to. There was a realness to the book lacking in many other crime books. In many stories the victims that we are allowed to get close to are often saved at the last moment, but real life is not like that. Tony Cavanaugh allows us to feel for his characters, to connect with them, yet not feel ripped off when they meet their grisly end. We may want them all to be spared, but understand why they are not.
I for one cannot wait for Tony Cavanaugh's next book. If it is even half as good as Promise I will be delighted.

Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired the English language remake rights to the Danish film and TV series "Clown" ("Klovn") reports Deadline.
"Tropic Thunder" and "Your Highness" actor Danny McBride will write, produce and star in the film about two men who set out on a canoeing trip on which they plan to party hard.
Then one of them discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and will only carry the baby if he can prove he'll be a worthy father.
To do so he takes her 13-year old son on the trip without changing any of their plans for debauchery. One key difference, aside from the language change, is the age difference – the kid in the original was 11 years old.
Todd Phillips will also produce. McBride is expected to get work on the project shortly.

Michigan LPN to RN Programs
As the health care industry adapts to the current changes it is facing, it is still trying to ensure patients have access to the basic health care that they need. As the population grows and ages, that need increases as well. Registered nursing is the fastest growing career path and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics that growth is expected to continue through 2020. You can move from a LPN to a RN in less than two years and position yourself to earn a significantly higher income, experience more job prospects and set yourself up for continued career growth throughout your lifetime. It all starts with an education and a little research.
With less than 90,000 registered nurses working in Michigan, the population is not being supported in a way that it needs. The average income for a registered nurse in the state is $65,000 a year based on experience, education, specialization, employer, location and a number of other factors. You will want to ensure you bring as much experience as you can along with your education as you start to look for employment, but balancing a personal schedule, work schedule and busy school schedule can be daunting to say the least. Fortunately, technology has an answer.
Online courses and online degree programs offer the flexibility you need to take on a full time education without putting a significant dent into your current schedule. As long as you can surf a web page and type in a word processor you will have the basic skills needed to be successful online. Due dates are listed for graded work at the start of the semester, and as long as the work is submitted on or before that date, your schedule is up to you. Even though you are working on your own for much of your education, you aren't left out to fend for yourself. Your instructor is a campus visit, email or phone call away. Some students combine online and campus based courses, so you can rest assured that you are earning the same experience through college regardless of the path you take.
Registered nurses have to join their voices together to ensure that legislation and politics do not have an impact on their ability to serve their community. The Michigan Nurses Association is there to ensure that you have a network of talented individuals that will support the career and make sure that nurses are given the power to practice what they learned. You will also have access to nurses that have worked in the field for years that can share their experiences with you and make your journey a little easier as you get started. Learn more about the benefits and what you can do to help by visiting the MNA site.
Investing in a Better Future
There is no way to sugar coat the fact that you will need to invest a significant amount of money into your education. There is, on the other hand, a way to show you how to take advantage of the tools available to you to reduce your investment by a huge percentage. Your employer will be the first place to look as their benefits programs often offer tuition assistance or reimbursement. You may even find that they offer a full time registered nursing position upon graduation and licensure. Each college offers scholarships, loans, grants and other forms of financial aid to students, but some of these offers are unique to those that attend their campus. This should be a focus of your research as you try to find the right school for you.
Finally, your biggest ally will be the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. With loans, scholarships and loan repayment programs offered to those entering the health care industry, you will find significant assistance in paying for your future. Spend some time looking over the loan repayment options and you will quickly discover that upon graduation a huge chunk of your student loans can be paid off. All that is required is that you serve a community that is in dire need of even the most basic health care over the course of two years. This experience is also highly respected by employers and should give you a head start on your future. Everything you need to know can be found here.
Finding an Educator
You already understand nursing to a degree as a LPN. As you start to move towards a registered nursing degree you will want to find the perfect school to meet your needs. Every student is unique and has specific goals for their education, so research into each school will be important. For a full listing of in-state programs visit the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Bureau of Health Care Services site. You will find all Board of Nursing Approved Education Programs listed by degree level here and should be able to explore each one over the course of a few weeks. Out of state schools won't be listed so make sure you explore those options as well. A few have been included with this article to help you get started on that side of things.

Richard Hyerczyk, 54, was charged last week in federal court. The cougar was shot in April 2008. The matter sparked debate, with some saying officers should have tranquilized the cougar instead.
Prosecutors say the threatening letters were sent a short time later. But according to investigators, they weren't the first from Hyercyzyk. They say he has a history of sending threatening letters stretching from November 2003 to December 2012.
"Mr. Hyercyzk was identified as a suspect who had sent over 90 threatening and harassing letters to individuals, entities, private officials, public officials, schools, religious institutions all over the Chicago area," said Chris Veatch, Assistant U.S. Attorney.
Prosecutors say one of those letters included threats to burn former Mayor Richard Daley's home in Michigan. There was a suspicious fire at a neighboring house.
