The United States Supreme Court has given its decision on Monday in favor of Texas abortion rights for women, which is one of the most important rulings of the court in the past 20 years.
The abortion rights activists have argued that if the decision would go against the abortion laws, it would lead to the closure of several clinics with only a few remaining opened in the state. According to CNN, following the court's verdict, other states of the nation will also hesitate passing "clinic shutdown" laws. Twitter witnessed a wave of surprising responses regarding the judgment. The supporters of women's reproductive freedom expressed a sense of relief after the verdict.
"SCOTUS finishes what @wendydavis started!!! https://t.co/sZIuquyRwD," a Twitter user Sabrina Shulman (@SabrinaShulman) commented.
"WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The burden is undue!!!! #KeepClinicsOpen is haaaaapening #StopTheSham #HB2#SCOTUS pic.twitter.com/uVJV24Vi0n," another commenter Kate Thomas (@KateThomas) wrote.
Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the verdict in favor of the majority, which was supported by Justice Anthony Kennedy. The verdict, Breyer stated, was given keeping in mind the health of any woman and help them seek abortions when they are not ready to shoulder a responsibility.
"There was no significant health-related problem that the new law helped to cure," Breyer wrote. "We agree with the District Court that the surgical center requirement, like the admitting-privileges requirement, provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions, and constitutes an "undue burden" on their constitutional right to do so."
The decision is said to have a significant impact on the US elections 2016. This is evident from US Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's participation in the series of tweets. She commented in favor of the abortion rights given to women. The presidential candidate praised the decision of SCOTUS. "This fight isn't over: The next president has to protect women's health. Women won't be "punished" for exercising their basic rights. –H," Clinton (@HillaryClinton) tweeted on Monday.
President Barack Obama also expressed his support for the verdict and said he was "pleased" by the SCOTUS ruling. "We remain strongly committed to the protection of women's health, including protecting a woman's access to safe, affordable health care and her right to determine her own future," the President said.

text: Some people are under the impression that this sizable rally might have been due to some short covering. I have confirmed that this (as of Friday) is not the case (or if so only minimally). For any given stock, there are a limited number of total shares that can be shorted. Today, I called three different brokers to ask about the continued possibility of shorting ONP by short sellers. In all three cases, I found out it is now the case that there is now no more "stock borrow" meaning that investors have already shorted all of the shares which are available to be shorted. Call your broker and give it a try. There are two implications to this. First, the shorts no longer have ammunition to drive the share price lower. Second, the existing short position is huge and short sellers will have to buy back their positions, driving up the price of the stock. Clearly, they have not unwound their short positions yet. Both of these should contribute to a short squeeze which could make for a meteoric rise in the stock price. I am predicting at least 30%-40% in the short term. They have clearly been waiting for the release of the final report in order to cover so we could see it this week. I guess you have to give them credit for their tenacity if not for their common sense. The impending short squeeze could be very painful for shorts. Investors may remember when the stock was driven down to $4.11 on the morning of Monday, July 1. On that same day, ONP came out with a detailed point by point response to the allegations, driving the stock to a high of $7.79 the next day. A swing of 90% in 24 hours! A power rally like that is often the sign of short covering, and given the high short interest in ONP, I am expecting short cover to make a substantial contribution to the rally. The current rally is simply not ferocious enough to be a short squeeze and the volume has not been indicative of a short squeeze either.

I see many recipes here on CC that suggest using a flower nail when using a thick batter. When do you put the nail in and where on the cake and in what position?? Thanks for the help.
Put the nail in the middle of the pan before you pour the batter in. It goes in upside down, with the platform against the surface of the pan and the nail sticking straight up. Spray it with pam spray first.
After the cake is done and you turn it onto a cooling grid, use a fork or something (not your fingers, that nail is hot) to remove the flower nail and it will leave such a small hole that you'll forget it's there.
I put mine in after I pour the batter, just be sure to push it all the way down to the bottom of the pan. The flower nail heats up and disperses the heat to the middle of the cake so it cooks evenly. You won't get such a hump in the middle.
When you are preparing your cake pan for baking you will also grease and flour (or Baking Spray) your flower nail and place it in the middle of your pan (flat bottom down). This will allow the cake to bake evenly and not have a really big hill in the middle when it is baked. Another trick I use is when the cake is finished baking I allow it to cool for a minute or two and putting a clean cloth over the top of the cake I gently mash the top of the cake until it is even on the top. This keeps me from having to cut the cake to level it.
Here is a photo tutorial for the flower nail method. Check out the comments too!
Here is a photo tutorial for the flower nail method. Check out the comments too!
I will love to see the tutorial...thank you!!!
The flower nail works very well. I use it when I bake fruit cakes. A tip for grannies...tye a piece of cotton around it and let it hang out the pan. I lost mine this year and have to ask the 18 people I baked for if somebody found it in their cake!! OOps.
Sorry... Here it is: http://cakecentral.com/articles/651/cake-baking-flower-nail-method-tutorial
I line the bottom of my cake pan with parchment paper. I stick the nail up through the parchment, and when I peel off the parchment from the bottom, the nail comes right out.

Body + Spirit
Love, Live, and Give
Scripture of the day: A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverb 11:25 NIV).
During my morning worship and study time, I was reminded of the kind acts that took place during the past several months. Acts of love shown by way of giving and helping are all displays of God's mercy and grace. I recall a random act of kindness that a friend whom I met via social media shared. A few weeks back Raquel shared an event organized by a member of her church. Members got together on a Saturday and headed for their local market place. The plan was to meet and greet people who would like a hug. The group stood outside holding signs that read "Free Hugs."
As I read about their adventure, within my heart I could feel the love shown by this random act of kindness that moved Raquel and her friends into action. They were the arms and feet of Jesus. They took time from their Saturday to show others the true love of Christ.
This is the comment that Raquel shared:
I was a hugging machine. I can't deny we were rejected and even received crazy looks, but it was all worth it for those who received at least a smile. And when asked, 'Why?' we told them that 'Jesus loves you, we are spreading His love.' Truly blessed to be used to lift spirits and ignite hope all for His glory. The people left with joy. How many times didn't Jesus get rejected, mistreated and He still loved and He loves us so much that He died for us to live. Blessings beautiful souls."
This group definintely had the right spirit and the heart of Jesus. By showing concern for the well being of others and giving to meet a need. We are helping to lighten the burdens of others. That is what Jesus came to do. When we show the love of Christ, we are giving them hope and a brighter outlook on life. It not only blesses them, but we too are blessed in giving as well. We are sure to feel a sense of joy and fulfillment. God loves cheerful givers. One act of kindness can change a life.
"Love others, Live to Give and Share a Hug."
Blessings of my love to you!

Software Production, Human Capital and Endogenous Growth: Theoretical Analysis and Empirical Evidence from India
Propelled by the rise of a vibrant software industry the Indian economy has demonstrated rapid growth since the 1990s. A novel three-sector endogenous growth model that encapsulates the salient features of an information technology oriented economy is developed. The dynamic optimization problem leads to a balanced growth path equilibrium characterized by output, physical capital, software assets, human capital and consumption growing at a uniform rate. Major implications of the model are reflected in empirical evidence from the growth trajectories of Indian states. The human capital production apparatus has a significant impact on economic growth. This has critical policy implications.

In their firsthand experience, TheCarConnection.com's editors find that the Veracruz's curvy silhouette, with its more aggressively arched roofline, sacrifices space at the back of the vehicle and behind the third-row seat.
When it comes to making comparisons to Lexus, reviewers can't resist. The Washington Post actually considers the Hyundai the more attractive of the two. "It has a longer, more elegantly sculpted body than the RX350. Inside and out, it simply looks better," beams the Post reviewer, who continues: "Inside, it also feels better—more spacious, less cramped than the RX350."
Although the 2009 Veracruz is priced against more affordable models such as the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, Hyundai reportedly benchmarked the Lexus RX 350 when designing and engineering the Veracruz. It shows in the Veracruz's styling, as it has the same streamlined shape and similar design details.
When comparing the Veracruz to the Lexus, not all comments are favorable. According to Kelley Blue Book, "Dual chrome exhaust outlets, a rear spoiler and available 18-inch wheels don't impart a sporty appearance as much as they defend against blandness." Still looking at its exterior, KBB adds, "Side mirrors with integrated turn indicators and puddle lights are a nice touch."
More kudos are bestowed on the Veracruz, with Popular Mechanics singling out the overhead mood lighting and illuminated doorsill plates. MyRide.com applauds the interior design as inviting and warm, as well as sees plenty of hints of the Lexus, but notices that the dash's flattop reflects glare in daylight. Truck Trend appreciates the stylish looks and logical function, saying, "Each portion of it is dedicated to its respective function: HVAC, audio, etc. The knobs and buttons are easy to understand and do what you want them to in an intuitive way."

It was 46 degrees when play began before a sellout crowd of 46,556, the sixth largest for a Winter Classic. It was the 21st regular-season outdoor NHL game.
The Blues went ahead 2-1 when Tarasenko made a backhand pass that hit the skate of Blackhawks defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson and slipped by Corey Crawford at 12:05 of the third. Tarasenko then scored on a wrist shot over Crawford's shoulder at 13:58, giving him 18 goals this season.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) _ Sven Baertschi scored twice, including the tiebreaking goal on a power play with under four minutes to go, and Ryan Miller made 24 saves for his 350th career victory to lead Vancouver.
Bo Horvat also scored to help the Canuck win four straight for the first time since opening the season 4-0-0. Henrik Sedin added two assists, while Daniel Sedin picked up an assist on the winning goal for the 600th of his career.
The Canucks improved to 6-2-1 over their last nine.
The 36-year-old Miller joined John Vanbiesbrouck (374) and Tom Barrasso (369) as the only U.S.-born goalies to reach 350 wins.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) _ PA Parenteau scored his fifth goal in eight games and Cory Schneider made 22 saves, leading slumping New Jersey to the victory.
Sergey Kalinin added an insurance goal early in the third period and set up Taylor Hall's empty-netter as the Devils won for only the third time in 13 games (3-9-1).
Tuukka Rask had 23 saves for the Bruins, who lost to New Jersey for only the second time in eight games (6-2).

Author Tags: Art, First Nations
Now living in Oslo, Norway, Richard Daly is widely regarded as a social anthropologist, translator, editor and Aboriginal rights consultant. Originally from Pender Harbour, he is the son of John Daly, the West Coast fisherman who was profiled in Fishing With John by Edith Iglauer.
To assist Gitksan and Witsuwiten plaintiffs in making their case for Aboriginal self-governance, anthropologist Richard Daly was called as a witness in the landmark Delgamuukw case that remained in British Columbia courts from 1987 to 1997. Having spent several years documenting their institutions, their proprietorship and their ethnography within the field of forager studies, Daly initially had his arguments rejected as insufficient by Justice Allan MacEachern, but ultimately vindicated in a higher court. His subsequent study Our Box Was Full: An Ethnography for the Delgamuukw Plaintiffs (2004) provides insight into the role of anthropology in Aboriginal rights litigation. It was a finalist for the Harold Adams Innis Prize in the Social Sciences.
Daly has dealt primarily with issues of Aboriginal land ownership and cultural heritage within First Nations of the Great Lakes region and British Columbia. To explain the significance of rock writings in the lower Stein Valley, Daly collaborated with Nlakapamux elder Annie York and art historian Chris Arnett in They Write Their Dreams on the Rock Forever: Rock Writings in the Stein River Valley of British Columbia (Talonbooks, 1993).
For Our Box Was Full, An Ethnography for the Delgamuukw Plaintiffs (UBC Press 2005), Daly had to boil down 750 pages and 12 days of testimony at the trial into a 330-page academic book.
Having collaborated with Annie York twenty years ago for They Write Their Dreams on the Rock Forever, Richard Daly has co-written the oral history of Stó:lo artist and craftswoman Rena Point Bolton for Xwelíqwiya The Life of a Stó:lo Matriarch (Athabasca University Press $34.95). Point Bolton, a weaver and mother of ten, was living in northern B.C. when the book was published. Xwelíqwiya celebrates her as a teacher and activist who maintained and revived Stó:lo art. [See below]
According to Daly's website:
Born in Vancouver, Canada, and raised in a fishing and forestry community on the Pacific Coast, he was awarded a bachelor degree in English literature at the University of British Columbia. Thereafter he worked in hydroelectric construction, hitch-hiked extensively in Europe and the Middle East before enrolling in social anthropology at the University of London in the turbulent sixties. He took his masters degree at the Manchester School of Professors Max Gluckman and Clyde Mitchell with its emphasis on rigorous fieldwork and the analysis of social situations where the role played by researcher was part of the field data to be analysed-and this long before the era of postmodernism.
Richard Dalys doctoral research examined gender equality and communal relations among the Iroquois and Wendat peoples of northeastern North America. He was awarded his doctorate at the University of Toronto under the guidance of Professor Richard Lee. He worked as curatorial assistant and conservator at the Royal Ontario Museum and later as contract researcher and expert witness for First Nations plaintiffs in aboriginal rights and land claims cases before the British Columbia and Federal court systems. After living in Toronto and northern British Columbia he moved with his Norwegian wife, Liv Mjelde, now Emerita Professor of Vocational Pedagogy, to a cabin in the woods outside Oslo, Norway, where he has worked on translation, editing and research projects. Together with Liv Mjelde, he has worked on learning problems of working people and the changes imposed on them by the labour market, both in Europe and elsewhere. This included four years when they conducted a Masters programme in vocational pedagogy funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme was carried out by Kyambogo University in Kampala for students from Uganda and South Sudan.

Review of the author's work by BC Studies:
Xweliqwiya: The Life of a Sto:lo Matriarch
Publisher's Promo (2013)
Xwelíqwiya is the life story of Rena Point Bolton, a Stó:lo matriarch, artist, and craftswoman.
Proceeding by way of conversational vignettes, the beginning chapters recount Point Boltons early years on the banks of the Fraser River during the Depression. While at the time the Stó:lo, or Xwélmexw, as they call themselves today, kept secret their ways of life to avoid persecution by the Canadian government, Point Boltons mother and grandmother schooled her in the skills needed for living from what the land provides, as well as in the craftwork and songs of her people, passing on a duty to keep these practices alive. Point Bolton was taken to a residential school for the next several years and would go on to marry and raise ten children, but her childhood training ultimately set the stage for her roles as a teacher and activist. Recognizing the urgent need to
forge a sense of cultural continuity among the younger members of her community, Point Bolton visited many communities and worked with federal, provincial, and First Nations politicians to help break the intercultural silence by reviving knowledge of and interest in Aboriginal art. She did so with the deft and heartfelt use of both her voice and her hands.
Over the course of many years, Daly collaborated with Point Bolton to pen her story. At once a memoir, an oral history, and an insider ethnography directed and presented by the subject herself, the result attests both to Dalys relationship with the family and to Point Boltons desire to inspire others to use traditional knowledge and experience to build their own distinctive, successful, and creative lives.
Xweliqwiya, The Life Story of a Stó:lo Matriarch
from BC BookWorld
Its not easy to promote a West Coast book with an unpronounceable title from an Alberta-based publisher.
But that didnt prevent the authors of Xweliqwiya from having an unforgettable launch in Sardis, at Coqualeetza, near Chilliwack, to celebrate Stó:lo matriarch, artist and craftswoman Rena Point Boltons lifelong struggle against cultural silencing.
Co-authored with friend and ethnologist Richard Daly, Boltons autobiographical Xweliqwiya, The Life Story of a Stó:lo Matriarch (Athabasca University Press $34.95) was not printed until the annual Stó:lo Nation winter dance milha season had already begun, so everyone took a break from initiation workthe training of new spirit possession initiatesto honour the mother of ten children for her key role in fostering Stó:lo customs and knowledge on November 7 at the new Stó:lo Research and Culture Centre.
The Point family provided drummers, singers and dancers, served smoked chum and sockeye, bannock, salads and finger foods, tea and coffee, for more than one hundred well-wishers and admirers. After Daly showed a five-minute video interview with Rena made by the BC Achievement Foundation, he explained how he had gradually co-wrote the book with Rena, from 1989 onwards.
Daly also read two pages from her book that described how she was brainwashed at residential school, coming out ready to march off to India as a missionary. Then Rena spoke and explained the name she holds, Xweliqwiya, meaning Flesh-eating Wolf Mother.
Much to Dalys surprise, she revealed she no longer retains the name, having recently passed it along to her grandchildrens generation. Instead she has taken the name of Mrs. August Jim, keeper of the sacred sxwoyxwey cult back in the era of the pioneering, UBC-based anthropologist Wilson Duff.
Later in the evening Rena explained Xweliqwiyas right to subject all babies whose mothers claimed the father was from Renas wolf family to the test of being offered to the wolf mother on Sumas Mountain. If the girl told the truth the baby was licked, if not, it was eaten.
Its that type of knowledge that Rena Point Bolton is renowned for preserving on behalf of the Stó:lo, or Xwélmexw, as they call themselves today.
The book recounts Point Boltons youth on the banks of the Fraser River during the Depression, a period when the Canadian government persecuted her people and cultural activities were mostly done in secret. Her mother and grandmother educated her in traditional skills as well as the songs of her people. Later Point Bolton made it her duty to revive Stó:lo practices as a teacher and activist.
For decades, Point Bolton has visited many communities and worked with federal, provincial, and First Nations politicians to rekindle knowledge of, and interest in, Aboriginal art. Her life story is a memoir, an oral history and an insider ethnography that Daly and Point Bolton hope will inspire others to use traditional knowledge to foster successful and creative lives.

World Cup debutants Kosovo are being boosted Monday before their first-ever qualifier against Finland as players are still being assessed for eligibility, world governing body FIFA said.
Kosovo were only admitted to FIFA in May this year after winning a case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the world governing body replied to a dpa enquiry saying the process of switching players' nationality was ongoing.
Former Swiss forward Albert Bunjaku and Albanian midfielder Alban Meha are among those approved to play for Kosovo in their World Cup debut against Finland in Turku later Monday despite previously earning international caps elsewhere.
Players eligible for Kosovo had to develop their international careers with other countries - such as Albania, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland - but have been allowed to apply to switch. The FIFA player status committee then makes the decision on whether this is allowed.
Usually FIFA does not permit players to change their international team once they have played a competitive fixture for the country.
Kosovo were added to Group I in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and face Croatia, Iceland, Ukraine and Turkey in addition to Finland.

Out Of Viva Paper Towels ~ How Can I Smooth My Bc?
Decorating By Starkie Updated 17 Feb 2011 , 5:56pm by Janette
I just realized that I am out of Viva paper towels. Is there anything else I can use? Parchment, wax paper, etc.? The hot spatula never works well for me, so any quick advice I can get, I would appreciate. Thanks!
Parchment paper
If its crusting...Computer paper.
I was going to say compter paper too, but know that with the computer paper, once it starts to stick a bit, start a new piece. It doesn't absorb the moisture as VIVA does. Compter paper is what Sharon Zambino (spelled right?)aka Sugarshack, uses.
I always use parchment paper
A bit late, but my friend taught me the niftiest trick ever. Go on ahead and start with the parchment. But buy you one of those mini roller brushes at the hardware store, and roll your icing. The finish will be similar to fondant in smootheness.
Are those roller brushes food safe?
Good old bench scraper the first time around.
rollers are safe if you buy it new and only use it for cakes. you need a high-density foam roller brush. But I still like to use something in between the cake and the brush, like parchment paper or Viva.
Thank goodness for Viva...I SUCK using a bench scraper. I can never get a vertically level eveness and always end up scraping instead of smoothing. I'm quite the bench scraper loser...
Exactly, my roller is for cakes only, new and sanitized. I also use the parchment for most of it. The roller is for the extra smooth, cause sometimes my parchemnt paper sticks in some spots.
I use a small paint roller rolled in flour

The next Eucharistic Mass will be Wednesday, July 12th, at 11:00am.
Please give in memory of Brother Norman McCarthy, FSC
The Brother Norman Sustain The Forest Fund
"To touch the hearts of students is the greatest miracle you can perform." -St. John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers (1651-1719)
Dear Bishop Kelley Alum:
Decades of Bishop Kelley High School alumni were deeply influenced by the life and teaching of Brother Norman McCarthy, FSC, who served at BK from 1992 until his death in 2008. For many, Brother Norman's Belief and Spirituality class opened their hearts and minds to explore the depths of their faith and understanding of discipleship.
Brother Norman touched the hearts of faculty, staff, students and parents. He was widely beloved, especially by the members of his Men's Forum group (which became the model for the Women's Forum group). He introduced many of his students and fellow faculty to the practice of contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition and also to a special place in his faith development and interfaith understanding: The Osage Forest of Peace in Sand Springs, OK.
The Forest of Peace was dear to Brother's heart. Founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1979, it continues today as a nonprofit retreat center governed by an interfaith board of directors. The Forest offers hospitality, retreats, workshops and contemplative prayer opportunities to all who seek to deepen their spiritual practice. Mass is offered once a month in the main chapel, and Eucharistic Adoration is available 24 hours in the Sr. Pascaline Coff Chapel.
In memory of Brother Norman, would you be willing to donate to the Forest of Peace, so it can continue to serve those who seek spiritual growth and practice here? The needs of the Forest are relatively simple, but the work of the Forest—which Brother Norman delighted in sharing–cannot be sustained without contributions from friends.
Please check out our website, or call 918-245-2734 to schedule a visit to The Forest. You may donate with PayPal online. Or send your check, payable to Forest of Peace, to 141 Monastery Road, Sand Springs, OK 74063. Designate checks to the Brother Norman Fund. Please consider a $5000, $1000, $100, $50 or $25 donation. Or consider making a monthly donation. Whatever amount is right for you, your gift will be stewarded well.
Thank you for helping sustain the mission of The Forest in memory of Brother Norman. Blessings to you from The Forest!

Adam Adamandy Kochański (5 August 1631 – 17 May 1700) was a Polish mathematician.
Kochański was born in Dobrzyń nad Wisłą. He began his education in Toruń, and in 1652 he entered the Society of Jesus in Vilnius. He studied philosophy at Vilnius University (then called Vilnius Academy). He also studied mathematics, physics and theology. He went on to lecture on those subjects at several European universities: in Florence, Prague, Olomouc, Wrocław, Mainz and Würzburg. In 1680 he accepted an offer from Jan III Sobieski, the king of Poland, returning to Poland and taking the position of the king's chaplain, mathematician, clock maker, librarian, and tutor of the king's son, Jakub.
He wrote many scientific papers, mainly on mathematics and mechanics, but also on physics, astronomy and philosophy. The best known of his works, Observationes Cyclometricae ad facilitandam Praxin accommodatae, is devoted to the squaring the circle (or alternatively, the quadrature of the circle) and was published in 1685 in the leading scientific periodical of the time, Acta Eruditorum. He also found a famous approximation of π today called Kochański's approximation:[1]
Kochański cooperated and corresponded with many scientists, Johannes Hevelius and Gottfried Leibniz among them. He was apparently the only one of the contemporary Poles to know elements of the newly invented calculus. As a mechanic he was a renowned clock maker. He suggested replacing the clock's pendulum with a spring, and standardizing the number of escapements per hour.
He died in Teplice in Bohemia.

Now that Telangana is India's 29th State and there are two Telugu-speaking States, celebrations are across Hyderabad and nine other districts of Telangana. Check out the 10 major challenges ahead for the new State and subsequently its mother State (Andhra Pradesh) which was cut into two pieces.
1. The first challenge would be the supply of power to farms, Industries, households and to meet the needs of growing industries in and around Hyderabad.
2. Creating employment opportunities to youth and setting up of MNCs remain to be a major challenge. Industrial development should be the top priority for new government.
3. Given that education sector, especially students bore the brunt of Telangana movement as continuous bandhs hit their studies, it's time for new Governmen to ensure a peaceful atmosphere for students.
4. Water sharing between two states is a big challenge and it need to be sorted out amicably. New Government should providing necessary amounts of water to Irrigation sector in the region.
5. Fluorosis in Nalgonda district throws up a tough challenge to the new government. Eradication of fluorosis is the need of the hour.
6. Tourism in Telangana need to be developed given that there are many historical places, temples, tombs in the region. The Telangana Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC), which started its operations from June 2, 2014, should opt for new ways to develop Tourism and earn revenues for the new State.
7. Carrying forward the brand of "Hyderabad" is a major concern for the new government. Hyderabad, with synonyms Hitech City, Cyber City, is said to be hub for Software development. While Bangalore is giving stiff competition to Hyderabad in this sector, it's time to take necessary steps to retain the image of brand Hyderabad.
8. Retaining Culture of Telangana and to promote it is also one of the challenges for the new State.
9. Entertainment Sector, Tollywood and TV Industry, which is based out of Hyderabad need to be Nizam is very good market for Telugu films. Right now there is a quandary prevailing among its fraternity. Government should quash the fear factor among them and ensure safe business, revenue for the Industry.
10. Last but not the least, new government should treat all the citizens of India alike. People of Telangana should offer olive branch to their counter part Seemandhra people and should co-exist in a healthy atmosphere. There should not be any room for hostility, hatred among Telugu-speaking people. Borders drawn are just geographical but should not be psychological.

Reminiscent India Television Ltd (RiTV), which operates the Lashkara and the Gurjari regional language channels, has decided to dilute 30 per cent stake, for which it has given the mandate to consulting firm Ernst & Young. Ernst & Young has valued the company at Rs 54.3 crore.

GOLETA -- It's No. 1 against No. 2.
Top-ranked Louisville and second-ranked Akron offered scintillating displays in Friday's NCAA College Cup semifinals at UC Santa Barbara's Holder Stadium, but both needed a bit of fortune -- and a late goal -- to claim berths in Sunday afternoon's final.
Louisville (20-0-3) was most impressive against North Carolina, creating far more opportunities but waiting until the end to pull out a 2-1 decision. Akron (21-1-2) was far more dominant against upstart Michigan, spending huge swaths of time in and in front of the Wolverines' box, but it took a defensive miscue to pull out a 2-1 victory and gain a repeat trip to the title game.
Bests, worsts and so forth:
BEST PLAYER: Lot of candidates -- Louisville's Chris Rolfe and Ryan Smith, Michigan's Justin Meram, a whole host of guys from Akron: midfielders Michael Nanchoff, Anthony Ampaipitakwong and Perry Kitchen, forward Darlington Nagbe and defender Zarek Valentin, etc. -- but Kofi Sarkodie was sensational from start to finish.
He set the tone for nearly everything Akron did: His forays up the right flank and into Michigan's box (he spent more time there than anyone, perhaps, aside from Wolverines goalkeeper Chris Blais) drove the attack; his physical play -- not always clean, to be sure -- kept Michigan honest; and he capped the performance with the winning goal, a fine header from Nanchoff's cross in the 74th minute.
BEST GOAL: After scoring with 52 seconds to play to beat UCLA in the quarterfinals, could it get any better for Aaron Horton? Oh, yeah. Three minutes after coming on for All-American Rolfe, the Louisville freshman took a defense-splitting pass from Smith and chipped Scott Goodwin -- lifting the top-ranked Cardinals into the final … with just 51 seconds to go.
More aesthetically pleasing was Meram's blast to fire Michigan ahead just 62 seconds into the second semi. Meram took a touch from Soony Saad in the midfield circle and raced through a channel -- with no defender trying to shut him down -- to the top of the arc. Beautiful shot to the lower-left corner.
'OH MY GOD' MOMENT: So many from Akron, whose touch in the attacking third was often breathtaking. It led to a 22-9 shot advantage for the Zips (14-4 in the first half) and the possession numbers, if the NCAA kept such a thing, would be just staggering. At least 70-30 -- maybe more in the first half.
But the moment everyone dropped their jaw: Akron midfielder Kitchen, forging ahead (Michigan's defenders, like Akron's against Meram, declined to intervene), then ripping a 35-yard shot into the upper-right corner, pulling the Zips even in the 33rd minute. He scored one a lot like it in the quarterfinal triumph over Cal.
BEST SAVE: Oh, we're going with the right post on the north goal -- and Akron is going to agree. Saad, the country's best freshman, nearly fired Michigan ahead in the 64th with a brilliantly threaded ball through the thinnest of space. It split four defenders en route to the lower-right corner, where that post got in the way.
WORST DEFENDING: There was plenty, but Michigan's failure to mark on Sarkodie's goal was criminal. The Wolverines were in a combination zone-man defense, but the zone was pushed too far forward and the marking at the back post wasn't there. Sarkodie delivered a powerful header, but it shouldn't have been so easy.
BEST QUOTES: "It (means) we have to beat Akron. Really, Caleb (Porter)'s done a great job with the program, but it's his team, it's his program. When he took it over, it became his, and he'd done a tremendous job with it, and other than me having coached there at some point, it really doesn't (mean anything)."-- Louisville coach Ken Lolla, on what it means to face Akron -- a program he guided to six NCAA Tournament appearances before departing in 2006 to take charge of the Cardinals -- in the title game.
"He's a guy I respect a lot, and he's done great things at Louisville with their program, and he did great things at Akron. And the only reason I took the job was there was a strong foundation, a good culture there." -- Porter, Akron's coach, on Lolla.
SOCCER CONVENTION: Seemed everywhere you turned at Harder Stadium, there was American soccer royalty.
Seattle Sounders boss Sigi Schmid and his sons watched from the east stands, but there was more to see across the field.
Portland Timbers coach John Spencer and his staff were just below the press box, standing with Real Salt Lake assistant Robin Fraser -- the former Galaxy star interviewed for the Chivas USA job -- as former L.A. assistant Ralph Perez (head coach at D3 Redlands) visited.
Just a few yards over sat Chivas USA director of soccer Stephen Hamilton, who will have a say in whether Fraser takes the Goats' reins next year.

JERUSALEM, July 31 (Reuters) - Israeli industrialist Benny Landa said his campaign to improve corporate governance at Teva Pharmaceutical Industries was delivering results, despite losing a shareholder vote at the world's largest generic drugmaker.
Landa, an outspoken critic of Teva's board in recent months who believes it should be replaced with "pharma seasoned" executives, said on Thursday his message had been received "loud and clear" by management and he now felt more optimistic about the company's future.
"The attitude of Teva's board was palpably changed by the process we all went through this past month," he wrote in a letter to shareholders, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.
"There was even open-mindedness regarding the need to bolster Teva's board with big-pharma experienced directors and I expect that we will see some board-led initiatives in that direction in the coming months."
Landa, who owns a small stake in Teva, had mounted a campaign that called on fellow shareholders to reject the re-election of board member Ori Slonim, as well as to vote against a resolution authorising purchase of liability insurance for directors and officers.
But shareholders on Wednesday approved all of the company's proposals and board nominations, including re-electing Slonim.
Landa noted that Teva announced the detailed voting results for the first time, indicating it was becoming more transparent.
He said time would tell if he was over-optimistic. "But ... I came away from (Wednesday's) annual general meeting much more confident in Teva's future," he said.
"If the board's words become action, we should see these changes translate into real shareholder value - which would indeed make today a great victory for Teva shareholders."
Teva earlier in 2014 named turnaround specialist Erez Vigodman as chief executive to replace former Bristol-Myers Squibb executive Jeremy Levin.

From Part 5
Taking my coffee, I headed to the bathroom. I was just inside when my doorbell thudded. "IT'S OPEN," I yelled. "What did you leave?" I asked, stepping out of the bathroom in time to see my hunky neighbor stepping through my door. "TOM! I thought you were . . . the gyrene who delivered my truck after my CO had it serviced for me." Whew!
My hot neighbor and sometime fuckbud just smirked at me and advanced until he was so close I could smell his freshly-showered scent. "Yeah, I saw that stud leave, and I know exactly what he delivered and I'm sure YOU delivered. Question is," he said, now close enough that I could smell his freshly brushed breath and taking a grip of my fuck-filthy, hardening-again cock, "You up for another . . . DELIVERY, marine?"
And now Part 6
My cock was already answering for me - maybe because I was too fucked-out exhausted to speak - by growing hard in Tom's big hand. I looked down and then back up to meet his smirk again. "I don't mean to brag, but I definitely am UP for another delivery, as you said. Question is, do you have the time to TAKE delivery this morning? I have already given my tanks and fuckrod a pretty good workout this morning, so it won't be a wham, bam, thank you, Bill sort of fuck, if you get my drift."
Tom's narrow-slitted eyes narrowed more with lust, and he caressed my hardon. "Can I use your phone?" he asked, his voice huskier.
"Over there," I answered, cocking my head toward the wall phone in the kitchen. "I can catch a quick shower while you make that call." I started to pull away to head to the bathroom, but Tom gripped my raging boner harder and pulled me back. "What the-"
"You lose one drop of the incredible musk and sweat I smell on you, and I swear I'll . . . " We were eye to eye again, and he leaned a bit forward and inhaled deeply. Then he let go of my cock - which I admit I might have whimpered a bit when he did . . . until he brought his hand up to his face and took a healthy whiff. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMM oh yeah!" he moaned. I could smell Daniels' ass, my cum, our sex and my sweat on his hand, inches from my face. "Just give me two minutes."
He made his call and told someone he'd be a little late. I knew Tom worked at the aquarium over in Waikiki, and apparently there was no problem, given the jovial, "Sure, be happy to," he ended the call.
Tom had a very athletic gait, and I always enjoyed his movements. He was tall - an inch or two below my height - dark and handsome, with the tight-muscled, tanned, smooth body of a surfer, the dramatic v of his torso from his exceptionally wide shoulders to his tiny waist serving to accentuate his perfect bubble butt. Being Japanese, his height was unusual . . . but exceptional, given the perfection of his body. Slightly too-long straight, thick black hair was typical, but that was really all that was typical about Tom.
He had passed me and was in my bedroom undressing. I could see him from where I stood, shucking his pants after kicking off his shoes and pulling off his strained-at-the-shoulders, loose-at-the-waist t-shirt. I'd never seen him in underwear, and today, when he unbuttoned his jeans, was no exception, his jet black bush and jet black pit hair being all there was on him. The slab pecs and washboard eight-pack rippled and rolled delightfully as I watched.
"Having second thoughts?" he called out to me from the bedroom, grinning. I walked toward him, my horsecock bobbing and waving as I strode purposefully the short distance. Tom's eyes were on my cock as I approached. "Guess that's my answer," he said, lower, licking his lips absently.
I'd stopped about five feet from him, hands on my hips. His turn.
I stood there for a moment, holding my position and my cock holding Tom's gaze. Then he figured it out. Tom dropped forward to his knees then crawled on them toward me. He paused when he was close enough, a long inhalation, and his eyes rolled back a little, lids fluttering momentarily. Then, he opened his mouth, leaned forward and enveloped my nearly baseball-sized cockhead in his warm, wet mouth. Together, we both moaned - him from appreciation; me from pleasure.
Involuntarily I pushed my hips toward him, encouraging him to take more of my raging bone, and he did, hungrily, moaning louder as he did. "MMMMMRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG."
I put my hands on Tom's head, his straight hair surprisingly soft in my grip, and I steadied myself more than held him, though I was pumping my cock slowly into and back out of his mouth. Tom's tongue worked my head and shaft expertly, as he always did - his tongue in and of itself could express the appreciation only a man could have for another man's throbbing fuckstick - and I felt my balls reacting to his sucking and licking, bouncing as he pleasured me.
"Awwwww, fuck, Tommy!" I moaned, reacquainting myself with the wonder of his sensuality. Tom LOVED cock, and he showed it. He took it however, whenever, but he savored it and made his enjoyment something artful, beyond lustful catharsis.
When Tom's little nose hit my pubes, he sniffed unabashedly, another moan following, conveying his enjoyment of my scent. I knew he smelled Daniels and me and knew that afterward I'd smell of him, too.
Tom let my cock swing free and came up underneath, laving my sweaty, cummy nuts. First gently, with long, accompanying sniffs and moans, then with gusto, sucking first one of my balls in and working it over, then the other, then licking behind my sac with his neck at what had to be an uncomfortable angle. "DAMN, Bill," he exclaimed as his tongue snuck back into my crack and swiped up, wide and wet, over my pucker.
"Damn, TOM," I mocked him, though his tongue was inciting firings of nerve endings that had me tingling from balls to toes to scalp. I had nothing to hang onto, standing there in the middle of my bedroom with his head under my crotch between my legs, and my knees were already shaky. I was nowhere near losing my nut, but I was enrapt and just as aroused as I'd need to be to blast my seed.
When Tom pushed his tongue into my musky, tight shithole, I growled loud and long, my very sensitive inner channel's response to his swirling, stabbing, slurping tongue was my new center of consciousness. I found myself bending forward, steadying myself with my hands on my thighs, my ass out and cheeks more spread, Tom's face fully in my crack, his tongue ravaging my shitchute. He was growling and moaning as he did, and finally he pulled free and panted loudly. "FUCK!" he exclaimed.
"Great idea!" I retorted. I stepped back and over him, then took him under his now-sweaty underarms and pulled him to his feet and SHOVED him back toward my bed. "NOW!" I growled, advancing on him.
Tom scrambled back and onto my bed. "How do you want me?" he asked, legs wide out in front of him, his pink cock rock hard, jutting upward from his jet black pubes and glistening with his precum.
My own hardon throbbed and pulsed, and Tom's gaze was fixed on it, eyes hungry with anticipation. "DEEP," was his answer.
I'm sure my nostrils flared. I felt that like I felt my pucker clench and my cock emitting precum, that dropping off the end in a large drop. Tom's eyes followed it downward momentarily as I felt it loosed, his head flinching at the moment it broke free, his eyelids again fluttering.
"When did you last get fucked?" I asked him, taking a step closer to the bed.
He never took his eyes off my rager. "With a horsecock like yours? About seven or eight weeks ago. Nothing remotely like you since, Bill," he finished, finally bringing his eyes slowly up to meet mine.
Tom's eyes were strong and purposeful . . . and needy. He slowly leaned back farther and brought his forearms under his knees and brought them up and back, exposing his beautiful smooth, statue-perfect ass and hairless brown cuntpucker.
I more pounced than jumped on the bed and dove face-first into that hole. I wasn't gentle - far from it. I sucked, chewed and tongue-fucked that hole savagely, invading and stealing his most private place.
He squirmed and ground into me, moaning low all the while. I knew he wanted to be fucked . . . but I was on leave, had plenty of time, wanted to give my nuts more time to recharge . . . and enjoying this hot man - his taste, his texture, his sound, his smell, all soapy and fresh, his movements, lean, sculpted muscle under soft smooth skin . . .
"Billlllllllllllllllllllllllll," he begged, suddenly.
I let my tongue come out of his soon-to-be-stretched cunt and swiped up his slightly sweaty crack and over his nuts and up the length of his smooth, thin cock and just kept on moving in that direction until I was on my knees over him, my precummy cockhead very gently touching his fuckgateway. Tom bucked toward me, but I only let him push against my knob, holding myself back. "AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW," he moaned in frustration. "BILL!"
I grabbed him by his nutsac, pulling up, hearing a surprised, "Oooooommmphhhhh!" from him, and then I PUSHED THROUGH his cuntmuscle's resistance and INTO him. "AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!" he cried through clenched teeth. Holding there, just my bulbous head trapped in his assclench, while Tom huffed and got himself used to it. Guess he wasn't kidding - he hadn't had any significant action back there for a while.
I wanted to ram this sexy bitch's hardbody balls-deep and pound his cuntchute full of me . . . but I could give him time to relax into it . . . at least a little. The white-hot clench of his cunt was stoking my nuts' fire, and my own need was rising.
Just when I was about to have to fight with myself to remain controlled, I felt Tom's assclench of death relax just a little and saw his grimace relax, too. He confirmed it when he pushed back a bit, his cunt taking another quarter or half-inch of me inside. That was my cue.
Pushing, first slowly, accompanied by his long, growling grunt as I filled him faster, angling around some resistance that caused him to jolt, until I was in full thrust when my pubic bone made contact with his, I watched his face, contorted with what started as pain but was now accompanied by satisfaction. He once told me I made him feel like a REAL bottom, like no man ever had.
That memory let my need escape, and in a moment I was pulling out and jabbing back in HARD. "OOOOHHHHHHHHHH FFFFUUUUCCCCCKKKK YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he shouted. "JUST like THAT!"
Tom began pushing back into my thrusts, then let his legs loose and planted his elbows on the bed and grabbed an handful of the bedcovers for purchase. As his ankles came to rest on my shoulders and locked around my neck, he caught his balance and levered himself into my thrusts with equal force.
I pounded him HARDER and ground myself into him, assaulting his pubic bone with savage force, enjoying the slight movement of his tight musculature with every jolt. "OH FUCKING HELL, TOM!" I found myself exclaiming between cussing. "GODDAMN you're HOT and TIGHT!"
He was . . . and my cock was over-sensitized from the fucks of the prior night and earlier in the morning, and my entire body was tingling on the delicate edge of my own pain at the pinnacle of pleasure. My balls were churning at a boil, and the burn on my fuckstick's flesh was stoking that nutburn like a blasting furnace. And the blast furnace was setting my body to the climb.
I was so caught up in my own escalating ignition that I missed that Tom's moans had gone lower, and his body had gone tense . . . until suddenly he let out a long, guttural cry, his fuckchute re-clenched around me, slowing my thrusts and plunger-like pulls a bit, and then his cock suddenly LAUNCHED a blast of bright-white, ropy cum clean past his left ear and onto my pillow, well behind his head. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he cried, when his body finally snapped loose and began bucking, his head thrashing from side to side.
"FUCK that's hot!" I told him, as he blasted rope after rope. I had adjusted to the choke of his clench and was drilling him HARD again, fucking right through the cuntspasms that milked my cock as he went from blasting to puddling to dribbling.
His cunt was wetter but tighter after he came, but he worked it harder, too, meeting me thrust for thrust with determination. "I fucking want you to breed me!" he growled.
I amped up my pace and force, and I was really knocking him. Tom met my intensity bump, and we were going at each other, both with a purpose. The air was heavy with the stink of our sweat and his cum, and I intended to add mine soon . . . again, after my earlier draining.
It was hard going - I was there, but not going over. We both knew it, but I was going to MAKE IT HAPPEN, and I DRILLED that man's fuckhole with a vengeance, until there was as much as my sweat which had dripped and splattered on him as his voluminous seedload he'd drenched himself with. Finally, Tom looked up at me, and letting his body go slack, suddenly ceasing his urgent grinding into me, he said, "I have an idea."
I hung my head, and slowed to a stop. I wanted to scream my own frustration, but marines don't succumb to frustration; they overcome. Hell, OVERcome? I just wanted TO cum! My cock was still so hard it ached, besides stinging from the over-sensitivity. And I was still mostly inside his tight, hot, wet cunt.
"Bill, relax," he said up to me, putting one hand on my bicep. "Relax here by me for a minute, marine." He patted the bed next to him with his other hand and pushed me gently.
I fell more than laid down next to him, and Tom was on his side, propped on his elbow. He put one of his long-fingered, big hands flat on my abs, and the heat of them I knew radiated from his hungry cunt more than anything, and my head filled with the frustration . . . more of it.
"Hey, Bill, you're the best fuck I ever had, but you're not Superman; you're just a marine," he joked, rubbing up my abs and tantalizing my right nipple first with the tip of his middle finger.
I let the sensation roll through me, welcome, but so very different than the testosterone-fueled frenzy with which I'd been ravaging his cunt. When he spread his hand wider and added his thumb, almost spanning from my right to left nipple, but teasing and rubbing each in turn, I finally relaxed into it.
"Yeah, that's it. Enjoy it, stud. And let me enjoy your amazing marine bod," he cooed in a deeper-than-usual voice.
I was aware of his sweaty hot body by mine, his hardon pressed into my side. His breathing had come back to even, while mine was catching with each flick of my pecnubs. The stink of us was thick in the air, intoxicating, and I found myself floating within it in my head as it swirled and tantalized me along with his touch.
When I turned my arm and caught his nuts in my left arm which was pinned between us, he gasped. "Careful, marine; that artillery is locked and loaded."
I chuckled at his civilian's appropriation of a very serious term. My laugh was cut short when he pinched my left nipple hard enough to make me suck breath, but also hard enough to send a jolt directly to my nuts and, in turn, a glob of my precum plopped onto my solar plexus. "OHHHHHHHHHHFUUUUUUUCKKKKKK!" I moaned.
Tom's hand sought the puddle of my preseed and scooped some and put it to his mouth, leering with lust as it approached, then closing his eyes with a long, "MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm," as he licked them. "FUCK you taste GOOD!" he told me, his eyes open again, boring into mine.
As he held my gaze his hand left hand went lower and found my sac and took me fully into his grip, firmly though also gently. I reflexively grabbed his tighter, eliciting a gasp that ended in a moan. Tom started massaging my nuts - rolling them, rubbing them tickling my sac and then gripping my nuts and tugging enough to have me squirming and begging for more. He got his arm he'd been leaning on under my neck and draped his long arm over my right shoulder and got his hand onto my pec so that his index and middle finger could tease my right nip again, that eliciting my own gasp and moan.
"That's it, marine. Just let yourself enjoy . . . and let me enjoy," he intoned softly by my ear.
I did. I let myself go to it, my only action other than giving in to the pleasure being moving my grip from his nuts to his hardon and very slowly, firmly gripping it, stroking him from root to head.
My precum flowing onto my abs was constant - I felt the puddle broadening and my precum flowing into the ridges between my abs - as was the growing tide of pleasure and need inside me. It wasn't quite the same as before - I'd come down but I was also filling in with a more full-bodied pleasure that had my body more excited than on edge.
Tom's finger on my nipple was like a sparkler attached to my nuts. His hand was like a hot, form-fitting glove, perfectly manipulating my big tanks in a way that yielded maximum result - pleasure. Enjoying it took no effort to calm myself, just submission.
"GOD, Bill; your cock is amazing. It's hard as concrete this whole time and your pre just keeps running out of you. Those fat veins throb and flex with my handiwork, and you can feel how wet you've got me," he said suddenly, after a long silence of words, just moans and breathy respiration.
Suddenly the need re-emerged. "Get your ass in the air. NOW!" I growled.
As he muttered "FUCK YEAH!" and got himself on all fours on the bed, I flipped myself off and walked around to stand behind him. I reached down and swiped a very full handful of my pre and smeared it over my cock. I took him by the hips.
"YEAH, marine - fucking TAKE me!" he begged.
That's exactly what I did, gripping him tightly and SHOVING into his cunt balls-deep just that fast.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" he shouted.
I was already pumping that hole, knocking his prostate, slamming my full length into him, reaming his tight-again fuckchannel with my flared cockhead. And when I say slamming, I was knocking my groin into his ass with such force that my pubic bone and his tailbone were colliding with dangerous force.
"OHHHHHGGGGGOOOOODDDDD!" he was crying out as I assaulted his cunt hard and fast and deep.
I grabbed a handful of his hair and yanked his head back. "Tell me this is what you wanted!" He moaned from the sheer domination of it. "C'mon TELL ME!" I ordered, pulling back harder, fingers twisted into his sweaty black hair.
"FUCK ME! This is what I fucking NEED. GIVE IT ALL TO ME!" he begged through gritted teeth, as my thrusts went from overdrive to brutal. "OHFUCK OHFUCKYESSSSSSSSS!" he cried out.
My cock was so fucking sore, but I just powered through it, thinking whatever he wanted he was going to get, and I DRILLED his cunt full of me with every thrust, SLAMMING IN HARD and full-length, smashing into and by his prostate with every thrust. His cries went up an octave whenever I hit that target, and his cuntmuscles clenched around my cock in a most pleasing response.
Our nuts were slamming together - his swinging from meeting my thrusts, mine swinging as I pumped into him over and over. Mine, much bigger, were swinging with such force I felt his smack his groin and mine into his. Each impact shot a burst of sensation through me that served to impel me harder.
Suddenly Tom let out a surprised, "HOLYFUCK! You're making me cccuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-" and started bucking wildly, crying out in incoherent syllables. He was cumming again, harder this time, his body out of control.
Even his back-thrusts into me went wild, and between that, his howls and his clenching, milking mancunt, I felt my nuts explode just as suddenly as he had. "AAAAAAAAAAAA-" I gasped in a strained cry as my nuts felt more like they imploded than exploded, my body seizing, all but my hips, which continued SLAMMING into him, now savagely. Then I was blasting - all of me, every part of me felt like it was blasting apart, and my hips PLANTED my cock in him, GROUND my groin into his crack to get in farther, then with a feeling like a vice squeezing my nuts, I felt my flow begin in a hard, fast burst that was met with a "OHFUCKIFEEEEEEELIT!" from Tom.
I was still gripping his hair, apparently harder, his neck pulled back so far his chin out ahead and under me as I filled him with my seed - whatever I had left or had regenerated. I realized it and worked to get my fingers out of his sweat-tangled hair and watched his head flop down. When I let go of his hip, he reached back and clamped his hand on mine and pushed it back onto him. "Not yet," he asked.
Tom's well-practiced cuntmuscles began massaging my cock as we stayed in that position. "OH FUCK ME!" I heard myself say, as his fuckchannel felt like it was caressing my still-planted cock, now wildly over-sensitized and stinging slightly and strangely less from soreness, with undulating pressure. My own seed - hot and creamy - served to amplify the sensations, and all I could do was to moan long and loud. "OOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm," as he worked me.
Suddenly my threshold was exceeded, and my body bucked. I couldn't take it anymore and pulled out of him roughly. "JESUS!" he shouted as my still-engorged cockhead breached his cuntmuscle and popped out.
I pushed him down onto his stomach roughly, laughing. "My sentiments exactly!" I told him, flopping down across the bed next to him, struggling to control my breathing. "Your cunt is not only a pleasure mecca but a dangerous weapon, Tommy," I proclaimed to the ceiling.
Without moving at all, face buried in the bedcovers, Tom replied, "Welcome home, Bill. I'm glad you're back. I hate to get fucked and run, but I'm going to have to get to work here. Soon. Sometime," he trailed off, panting into the bed.
"If that's the way I get welcomed, I might have to go on deployment more often," I replied, my flagging cock twitching at the thoughts of not only Tom but all the three other studs who'd welcomed me in the past day. To myself, I thought: Good job, marine - mission accomplished.

JUST OFF BERKELEY Square, in the heart of London's Mayfair, stands Bourdon House. Once a residence of the Duke of Westminster, it's now a temple to all things masculine thanks to the large coffers of menswear label Dunhill and its parent company, Richemont. Featuring a whisky bar, a humidor, a bespoke tailoring service and a barber, Bourdon House is also the repository of some key pieces in the history of Dunhill, from lighters and perfume bottles to weathered vitrines salvaged from the brand's first boutiques in London.
Alfred Dunhill was only 21 when, in 1893, he inherited his father's saddler business and shifted its focus from the horse and carriage to the automobile. He created a line of so-called "motorities", a term he coined to refer to the driving-related products he offered when the car began to replace the horse-drawn carriage.
From an early age, he was a consummate businessman, always looking at what was happening around him and moving on with the times, never afraid to innovate and bring in new product lines, from lighters to outerwear. A framed picture hanging at Bourdon House depicts a bearded Dunhill serving customers while seated outdoors at a table amid a sea of rubble. It was taken after the Dunhill shop on Jermyn Street was destroyed in the London Blitz and is a perfect example of the resilience that made him one of the foremost entrepreneurs of 20th-century Britain (later in life, he even made a foray into the tobacco business, which is now a separate entity and part of British American Tobacco).
The Dunhill of today is not the same as that of its founder and has gone through a series of ups and downs, especially in the last couple of decades. Mainly known for its dependable and classic suiting, and reliable and sturdy leather goods, Dunhill never had a strong identity as a men's fashion player, barring a stint with British designer Kim Jones at the helm.
Its low-key image and lesser stature among the stable of fellow labels at luxury conglomerate Richemont – hard top-end powerhouses such as Cartier, Piaget and Van Cleef & Arpels – even led to rumours that the group was planning to divest itself of the men's label, but they proved unfounded when Richemont's Johann Rupert made a strong commitment to growing the brand and developing its potential, first with the opening of Bourdon House and then with the appointment of a new creative director, John Ray, in 2014.
A Scot who worked with Tom Ford at Gucci, creating the men's identity of the Italian label and helping it become the juggernaut it is now,Ray laid low for the better part of the last decade, before returning to his old trade at Dunhill, where he consulted for a few seasons before taking the top job.
When we meet him in his office in Mayfair the day after the spring/summer 2016 show, Ray is busy fielding phone calls and greeting guests who have come to take a better look at the collection. Wearing braces and a tailored white shirt, he cuts the imposing figure of a modern-day Winston Churchill, minus the cigar. Surrounded by pictures of icons of British style such as David Niven, Prince Charles and Prince Philip – "He's actually one of my favourite dressers. He's got the best taste in ties in Great Britain," he says of the royal – Ray is quick to point out that when he took the helm at Dunhill, he didn't plan to start a revolution but to "preserve it as a beautiful British brand".
Referring to the collection shown the previous day, a mix of formal and casual wear with models in top hats and morning coats followed by a sporty bunch wearing hunting jackets and checked shirts, Ray emphasised that Dunhill is first and foremost a British company and he wants to keep it that way. "The freedom stops at the Britishness," says Ray. "It has to be super British, so that even though you're free, there's a language you have to use in order to keep it British. I also think that my own personal style is very Dunhill. It's not like I dress in sportswear or those kinds of things, so it suited me. I think Johann Rupert would not have wanted Dunhill to be turned over; he preserved the brand for years and wanted it to be a beautiful English rand. I don't think they want it to be anything other than that – traditional men's clothing. So that works for me because actually that's what I'm best at."
Although you may think that staying true to tradition is just a way of playing it safe, it is in fact – and ironically – somewhat revolutionary, even in London, the home of Savile Row and classic tailoring, where menswear designers often stage headline-grabbing spectacles, forsaking the need to create clothes that actually make it to the stores and men want to wear. There's only a handful of London brands that actually wear their heritage on their sleeves and are not afraid of looking back at their country's marvellous tradition in men's tailoring, and Dunhill, along with perhaps Gieves & Hawkes and to a certain extent Burberry, is one of them. "It's really important that Dunhill is British and you can tell it's British, because if it's not really British it just becomes this big kind of European mash of stuff.
"It's very important for us to have this British identity because we're British, and that's all we've got to offer in the market in a way. That's our point of view," says Ray to bring home the point. As someone who's a stalwart proponent of unabashedly and classic English tailoring with a modern twist, and who spent his formative design years in Milan, the capital of Italian menswear, Ray is a keen observer of how men approach everyday dressing, revealing that he loves looking at the way men in London put together their outfits in a polished and yet contemporary manner, providing him with a great deal of inspiration to draw upon. "You can tell an Italian, the way they put a suit together," explains Ray. "The British suit is easier, not so tight. The Italian is very, very fitted and the ties have great big knots. The Brits put things together in a way that's kind of mashed up, like the way we put the checks with the spots. Italians don't really do that. The Brits do that really well, so that gives you something that you can be playful with, like a tie, a pocket square, a checked jacket, checked trouser. And there's a harmony to it that's very interesting."
While Ray is aware of the challenge that lies ahead of him, especially in such a competitive – albeit growing – menswear market, he relishes the mission that the powers that be at Richemont have given him. "One thing about Dunhill is being a very quiet brand, so there's not really many people who have heard of Alfred Dunhill. So what my job is now is to articulate it to the world, what it means, and actually have people come and have a look at what we're doing. That's the challenge," explains Ray. "But from a creative point of view, it's fantastic to be allowed to do this because Johann Rupert doesn't do this thing where you have to make things that sell for two pence. He's a bit like, 'Just make really beautiful things.' And I agree with him because, you know, no one really needs any more stuff. But if it's beautiful, you can't resist it."
