The truth behind the rhetoric From the diary of A Patriot ,Bill Sharpe
Hello friends,Bill Sharpe Here...
Good morning to my fellow constitutional loving
Good morning friends ,Fellow patriots and Americans...
Here's my thought for today
Nightmare in America
Hello friends and fellow patriots, Have you ever felt like you're living in a dream, or a nightmare and you just want to wake up for it to be over ? that's what's happening in America today, we all don't want to believe what's happening, and were waiting to wake up from this nightmare.
But This Might Just Be The Beginning !, I believe that everything that is taking place in the last eight years currently, is the beginning of civil war in the United States of America once again!, but this time there is a twist, are federal government has been taken over by the communist, and Islamic outside influence, and they're planning and orchestrating for the American citizens to start fighting amongst ourselves !
IS that's not what's happening today ???, and when we become divided like we are, we become weak, we have too many fronts to defend, and we become vulnerable to any and all who are organized against us ! What's taking place in America today is like a bad dream, how do we wake up our fellow Americans, how do we tell them of the dangers that we all will be facing ?, this strategy that is playing out in America today, has probably happened thousands of times through history, but the American people and citizens through our ignorance, and being complacent in our freedoms and liberties, have opened the door and have let this monster into our country and our nation !!!
This election is the pinnacle of this constitutional nation,a one-of-a-kind place on earth, like an island, among islands of slavery and tyranny!,this island of free people. , this sanctuary, is a threat to all the other governments,or kingdoms that use slavery and ignorance to control their people!
People through the centuries have been running from these imperialistic monarchy slaveowners, trying to escape, trying to find some place on planet to live in peace and to be free, but these other nations of evil and corrupt perverse and devious, cannot have a place for a free people, of a free mind and thoughts can exercise their beliefs of freedom, because it affects the people in their countries, who will seek the same things ! that's why our country has been under attack,since the Fourth of July 1776, these Kings have devised a plan,and are working together with their spies,and assassins to overthrow and to capture this nation intact, and to remove all acts of freedom and free thought and free will, so once again they will maintain the entire world under their rule !
Our political leaders have been seduced, under the belief that they will become rich and powerful beyond their wildest dreams, to have their own slaves to create their own world, for their support of the false gods ! Our founding fathers Warned US, Fiction and science fiction writers warned us as well !, there have been plenty of signs,the ignorance of our fellow Americans is astounding, it's unbelievable for one who is informed, it's hard to believe that such a small group of us, are aware of the threat to our lives, to our bloodlines, to our freedoms and treasures, I pray to God that he helps and enlightens us,and brings us back together as one nation, for if we are not one, we are doomed !!!

Let's Show this Government we do see their Wrong Doings !!!
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
3. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
4. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
5. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
6. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
7. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
8. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their substance.
9. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
10. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
11. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
12. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
13. For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16. For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our Governments:
17. For suspending our own Legislature, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
20. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
21. In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
I am sure that these Action Of Past Tyrants are being repeated withOut A Doubt. But Please let me know you you agree !!!

Thicker than Water -- Chapter 4
********** From Brad's (Dott) Perspective *****************
I woke ... dull groan of the A/C, feel of Brayen's head on my chest, fingers snuggled in my bush; the softness of the sheets. I'm happy but still processing: what was happening between us and inside me. But I was here ... Hopper next to me; ceiling fan whirling above us. I nuzzled my nose into his hair; smelling the scent of sleep and apple ... That's my Hopper, simple tastes; complex bloke. I lay wondering, how long would this little bubble last.
People would eventually find out... shit, at least we had our brotherhood. Will might flip, but he'd support us; we swore that our lives were in each others hands, support and love; seemed like a lifetime ago. We never judge each other ... ever. I put my right hand up; I couldn't see it, but I knew exactly where the scar was.
I felt Hopper's skin ... softness of his cheek, my thumb lazily slipping up and down along its beauty. Deep breath, the smell of us ... this was brilliant.
Brayen snuggled, his leg sliding down on mine; toes twitching. Deep sigh. My cock pushed the sheet up; pleasant ache ... overuse.. We had made love, Hopper riding me, his taunt back to me, backwards; that sensation ... cumming deep inside of him ... awesome ... more incredible than I can ever put into words. Hopper taking the most intimate part of me ... God, I loved him before this; the depth of what I felt now, hurt.
I drifted off ... soccer match: Will hit a cool side kick goal, Hopper falling into me, his hand grazing my balls ... the deepness of his eyes, laughing, patting me on the back, then... Yes, score! Ultimate score. High mark. My Friday footy games, Hopper sitting in the stands; seeing him jump and clap ... he didn't know I saw him there.
'beep beep beep beep...beep beep beep beep' Brayen's four o'clock alarm penetrated the darkness.
I woke.
Hop stirred.
I pretended I was asleep. Hopper reached over; alarm stopped. He put his hand on my chest as he leant over and kissed my hair, thinking I was asleep. I felt him slip from me; sheets tucked up, around my neck; the door opening and closing.
This was heaven.
I could hear Brayen, fumbling in the bathroom; the fullness of his stream breaking the calm of the bowel. Flush. Water and brushing; low hum ... a tune I couldn't quite make out; sounded old though. He was happy, I could tell ... just like me. Shit, what we're we going to do when his parents returned in three weeks ... I couldn't sleep alone; not anymore, ever.
Thinking about that night; dad nearly punching me ... "you faggot" reverberated through me ... wanting to drive up the bluff and just, go over. 'Ah yeh, poor Brad, he just misguided the edge ... such a promising life' people would say. I wiped my eyes; love these guys too much. Love Brayen way too much. Couldn't. So glad I'm here, right now, here with this incredible man.
I heard Brayen in the kitchen; the sound of the straw wrapper from an 'up n go' teasing me. I lowered the sheet, slipping out of bed. I listened to his weird little tune ... lilting, mindless; I never want him to change, ever. I felt the cold of the tiles on my feet as I slowly made my way down the hall ... my eyes, adjusting to the light.
Brayen's eye caught me as I rounded the doorway, "Hey sleepy, you didn't have to get up,"
"Yeah, know," wiping my eyes, "wanted to," pausing, "but don't think that's happenin every mornin," I couldn't help but smile.
Brandy's laugh warmed me.
"Couldn't imagine that!" He pulled out another 'up n go' from the fridge, handing it to me. Pausing, then shoving the straw in; hell yeah, chocolate, my favourite.
"Ya know, this isn't our first real breakfast together, " I offered,
"Yeah, I know. Wait till Sunday morning," pausing, I looked t him, "I can't imagine a morning without you,"
"Awe,," I looked into him, laughing; his eyes held mine, "me either,".
Hop busied himself around the kitchen. Grabbing his lunch and throwing it in his little blue cooler, ice blocks, water bottles; he caught two pieces of toast as they launched from the toaster, buttered them, popping them on a plate; drizzle of honey ... love the way he looks out for me. Totally. I don't know if I ever could do justice to it; certainly, I am the least deserving, but ... mmmm, I will always have this picture in my mind ... my bloke, bouncing round the kitchen, making a meal to start the day.
"Eat," Hop encouraged, plate full.
I took a bite. Honey and butter, it was delightful. "Mmm," I chewed, "delicious,".
I watched Hop skull down the breaky drink; how he managed the energy to get up at four, start at six, work non stop through to three in the afternoon, then hit the gym three days a week, and, look after his property when all he had in the morning was a little 'up n go' was beyond me.
"howz ur day?"
"steamy here, sweatin like a pig," I replied; thumb jumping on glass,
"aye. freezin my ass off, mate," the reply,
"you, dog,"
"ha ha!"
"Gym this arvo or chill."
" play it by ear bro..."
I loved Bray and my texts ... they made the day.
The day dragged along. 'Mate, can you tell me about this shock,", "Mate, pardon, don't know what wiring is best," "Mate ..."
Fuck, if you don't understand your machine dude, don't expect me to read your mind! Calm down. Good job, just guys that don't have a clue. All part of doing what I do.
I felt sorry for Brayen. Out in the steamy heat ... monsoons approaching; geez, I'd love to strike it good ... yeah, master mate ... rich ... any wish Bray had ... his. Wunderlust ... so what, if you can't hope, why the fuck bother! But, if I ever had the means, Brandy would be all set for life ... every need met -- he could build that house he's always sketching up; detailed floor plans, a reality. He could start up his own painting company, buy land to bring his horse down to Ipswich, or hell, even go back to school to be a general surgeon, just like he's always wanted.
The day progressed. I looked forward to being home with Bray. Backyard circuit workouts, bombing the pool, play fighting, Sitting by the tellie, not listening; just for background. Kissing, time lost as we enjoy each other. Bray's smile ... staring, knowing how incredibly lucky ... he felt the same about me ... our world ... un-fucking believable!!!
The rain was pounding as I made my way back, home. Pelting then wash, as the intensity increased on the windshield.
'SLASH' rain slapped against the cab, as I pulled in; house in front. Fuck, I hated monsoon season.
I couldn't wait to see him ... knowing I'd be with him made the day go by, quickly.
'clink' of the latch; smell of lillies and boganvilla's wraping around me as I walked up to the door.
It was nice being, home.
Everything tingled ... Bray was here; that's what made this a home.
I opened the door; the blast of cool hugged me. It was baffling that Bray turned on the A/C in the living room , his room, his parents room ... but, he left the doors and windows open ... something about being able to hear outside, I dunno. I could hear the distant shower, Hoppy singing that melodious tune,
"Sing bonnie boat like a bird on the Wing
Onward the sailors cry..."
The week continued, Bray and I falling into our daily routines. Evenings; well, we played outside, usually in the pool. I missed my Tuesday workout; a little distracted ... I ended up inside Bray, pushed over the edge of the pool; riding him ... enjoying, us. Falling asleep, my arm around him ... his cute ass pushed against my manhood; me, slowly seeping from him, between us. Yeah, US.
Wednesday went without a hitch; same routine, different customers.
No rain, but soggy; oppressive humidity. I opened the door; Baxter, Gem and Bella greeted me, their licks and tails competing with each other. I turned on the tellie; a buff guy walking along the river, mindlessly talking about, well, nothing. I bounded the steps, entering the kitchen; cold water filling a glass ... hydration! Baxter and Gem roughhousing in the family room; Bella at my feet. I reached down; Bella's ears, silk.
'RRRrrrriiing' 'RRRRrrrriinnng'
I reached up and over the counter, pulling the receiver, "Newsome's"
"Wayne, G'day mate,"
"How are things?"
"Doing okay," I paused, "just, well, dealing with things,"
"Well, you know Sandi and I will support you as will Brandy. Whatever is going on, mate, you in time will come to deal with things,"
I nodded.
"Just realize that if you need either of us, just call, anytime day or night,"
"I appreciate it Wayne, please make sure Sandi knows too,"
"I will," Wayne paused, "and, Dott, whatever you confide in Sandi or me ... well, it stays there, got it,"
"Yes," I paused, "and, I appreciate that ... very much,"
"Is Brandy nearby?"
"No, in fact I thought he'd be here. Must have stopped off on way home from work,"
"Well, let me put Sandi on,"
There was a slight delay, "Brad, hello"
"Hi Sandi, "
" it is good to hear your voice," Sandi chirped.
"Well, I have to say, it is great hearing yours," "I want to thank you and Wayne for allowing me to stay,"
"Honey, you have a place in our home at any time; you are considered a son and we love you dearly,"
I didn't want to be emotional, but my heart skipped, I felt that familiar welling in my eyes. The Newsome's were family, and I loved all of them ... Brandy, well, to a whole different level ... way different. A tingle crept along my spine as I thought about Brandy, naked, cuddled into me; smell of our love making, hugging.
"I love you both too," I managed to say; I never would say that if things were status quo; but, well, they weren't.
"Well honey, Wayne and I will let you go. Please let Brandy know we called,"
Gem and Bella ran toward the door, I could hear their tails; Bella's paws slipped along the tile,
"Sandi, hang on, I think I hear Bray at the door,"
Bray bounded in, I could hear him scoop up Bella, scratching Gem and Baxter, "G'day,"
I put my hand over the receiver, "hey Bray, up here in the kitchen, your mum is on the phone,"
Brandy bounded up the stairs; ah, the most beautiful man was coming up to me. He pecked me on the hair.
"Hi Ma, how is the trip? ... yeah, love you too ... ahkay, go ahead and put dad on," "hi ... yes, doing well ... yes, Dott and I are having a blast together; quality time .... yes, will make sure of it ... ahkay, put her on,"
********* From Brayen's perspective **********************
"Brandy, I need a favor. I have a USQ booster coming up, and I am the venue planner on the committee. Honey, well, I completely forgot about it until I was looking through my planner. I just, well, thought it was in three months and it is in two weeks. Most places of any size book out, and well, now is the time they do these bookings, preparing for the thing. So, would you be able to find a venue large enough for 135 people?"
"Mom, I, uh, well how do you propose that? What is the budget? What kind of venue are you looking for?"
"Well, it needs to easily accommodate 120-150 people, a few couples you know, mainly from the financial base and the faculty, like most of these functions," she laughed, as if I had done this before, " As far as a budget, usually we plan $150 a person, there usually is a 50 person minimum, so we'd have to arrange for a cheque for that plus a venue charge; lets see I think $5000, in order to hold the place," I could hear her head thinking, "oh, and of course, we'll need good musical entertainment their names are on my desk, in a blue folder, marked 'USQ Booster 2015',"
"I, uh,"
"Now as to the type of place; it has to be eloquent enough for the booster, but not too expensive in taste as to make people think we're wasting their money. You know honey, the heads of the departments invite their most promising students; It is, well, a time for those with means to part with their means in order for these young men and women to succeed,"
"How do... I mean, how am I..."
"Well honey, I am really in a pickle here because so many people are depending on it. The financial means of the community must have the opportunity to see and hear their future. This event needs to allow these young people, to, well, shine,".
I swallowed, hard; heart beat screamed in my ears ... skin, clammy, followed by that cold sensation that creeps ... from the back of your head down your body. "I will make a few calls tomorrow morning. Let me see if I can talk to a few friends of mine. Hopefully I can look at a place or two on Saturday morning,"
"Sweetheart, I so much appreciate it. I was just sick thinking about it. I am so glad we were able to talk. Now, if you need to run anything by me, just call dad's mobile, you know its only two weeks away,"
"Yeah righto, leave it with me, ill plan it all out and you can grab the credit." my neck was hot, I could feel the veins, distended.
"Oh that would be splendid. Just don't go overboard. Honey, you've taken a huge load off my chest, thank you so much,"
"Ma," I shook my head wondering how I was gonna accomplish this, "no worries, really, I'll find something,"
We finished with some pleasantries then dad jumped on to say, "hi".
I slowly hung up the phone. Dott was standing near me, looking. Silence. I looked at Dott, his eyebrow arched,
"Wanna tell me?"
"You wouldn't believe ..." I filled Dott in on the details; his expression one of sympathy. "I'll make a few calls tonight. See if I can at least let a few of my buddies know," I just stood, the reality clicking in ... how the hell was I gonna pull this out of my ass?
I made a few calls while Dott grabbed take out. I left messages, explaining my predicament. As I was finishing, I heard the door; Dott appearing, followed by three salivating canines.
Dott set up the table, he poured me a stiff Jim Beam and Coke, water with ice for him. We sat next to each other, Dott's hand gently sliding along my inner leg; lips occasionally nibbling my neck ... slowly enjoying our meal, together. Chatting about us.
Finally, Dott paused, turning to face me,
"Hopper, whatever I can do to help, even if its just organizing papers, let me know," he finally said, "I know this whole thing's gonna be a shit fight on you,"
I smiled, leaning in, our lips meeting. Slowly we kissed, deep; Dott's tongue exploring the confines of my mouth ... the taste of our meals, melding; toes playing with each others. God, I love this man. My cock throbbed as Dott's forearm rested against it; my fingers nestled below his.
Thursday went by; excruciatingly slow. The heat was unbearable; every pore open. I got ahold of my Aunty Vick, my fathers sister. She said if worse came to worse I could use her penthouse rooftop terrace as a last resort. Sometimes having rich snobby rellies helps. The thing was, until now, I had only planned a BBQ for 25 people; bloody hell, now I had 150!
By lunch break, I was feeling the exhaustion of heat along with the coolness of dread. I had no appetite; just hydrated and moved on.
The day trudged on. Finally, it was time to go home. I drove in silence ... just thoughts. I wanted to concentrate on Brad, not this; why was it always me that got a dump on; this was no small thing ... it was huge. The neighborhoods breezed by ... mindless; I pulled into the garage, not a memory of how I got here. I sat in the cab, the sound of the garage door behind me as it nestled onto the floor. 'ding' as I opened the cab door. I could hear Bella's pants under the door as I approached.
I walked through the house; feet creeping, heavy. I peeled my clothes off; whew, even I couldn't stand it; dumping everything in the laundry room. I went straight to the bathroom; the shower surging to life. My mind, whirling. Suds disbanding dirt and sweat; hot water severing the relationship; sweet smell of soap amixing with apple as I shampooed three times then conditioned. Slowly, I dried off, then methodically brushed my teeth; fingers slipping along the scruff that had quietly emerged on my face. As the towel slipped around me, I chucked; Bella's nose puffing under the door.
Together, Bella and I went into the bedroom ... fresh pair of boardies slid along my skin; sleeveless tee. Bella's paws tapped behind me, bare feet on cold tile, making our way out to the family room. I left the windows and doors closed; engrossed in thought. Tellie on. Background noise. I collapsed on the couch; quickly falling asleep.
'ding' "Dude, soccer xcld. Bummer!" Dott's message glowed.
"Shit, wanted to see Billy,"
'ding' "yeah. gonna hit gym on way home,"
"k, so just eat?"
'ding' "yeah"
"k. miss u,"
'ding' "u too! <lips>"
The Friday work day was uneventful; just hot and steamy ... monsoon season is a bitch in Queensland! 2:30pm couldn't have come fast enough; I sloshed my way back to the ute, putting a towel on the front seat.
"finishing here, home then shower," a quick text to Dott,
'ding' "ay ah mate, leavin here early - be home by 5,"
All I could think about on the drive home was Cloudland.
Billy and Sharon had planned this two months ago; Dott and I agreed to join one afternoon while we recovered from a smashing soccer game; the four musketeers. It was going to be a real treat.
Cloudland isn't just a club, it is an adventure. Surrounding a swanky Italian restaurant offering with designer dishes from local products combined with international imports, Clubland has two awesome bars - one made of glass ball bearings, with a collection of boutique booths, dance floors, and DJ spaces. It is the place to see and be seen!
I peeled my clothes off as the garage door was closing; rank, pure rank. I walked through the house, throwing them into the laundry room, going straight to the bathroom; even Bella kept her distance. They day slid off in multiple lathers; apple filling the space as I shampooed out grime and grit.
Bella met me at the door; her usual, nose sniffing the fresh smells. She followed me into the bedroom, jumping up and laying at the foot. I decided what the hell, it was just Dott and me, so I just stayed naked. The cool of the A/C felt extra good after the long shower. I lay on the bed, and, well, just drifted off.
I woke up to the warmest, hottest sensation; Dott's tongue was swirling around my cock,
"Uhh," I jolted awake, Dott slowly increasing his suction, eyes looking up, "f u c k,"
'slrrrp' 'sluurrp' 'sslluurrrppp' Dott was driving me mad,
'ssslrrrp' 'sluurrrP' 'SLllruurPP' 'sluuurrppPPP' twisting around my meat, drool slipping along my ball sac; I couldn't help it, I just spread my legs ... Dott's head bobbing ...
'ssslrrrrpp' 'sslllUURRRP' 'SLLllrrrp' 'slurrrp' 'slurp' 'slurp' 'sLUURP' God I was so fucking close, moans filling the space between us, hips starting to buck,
'sslurp' 'slurp' 'slrrup' 'slurp' 'slurp'
"Ugg Uhh AAAWWWWWWW" hips arched, pushing my meat down Dott's throat,
'WOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHH' Dott's cheeks puffed,
'WOOOOOSHHHHHH' Apple bobbing, 'Gulp' 'gulp'
'WOOOSH' 'WOOOSH' "Oh dude, fuck" 'WOOSH' 'gulp' 'gulp' 'gulp' Dott slowly swirling around my head, scooping every last drop,
"How was your day?" as he slowly got up and lay beside me,
I snugged against him, playing with the buttons on his shirt, "hot! but, not as hot as you!"
I watched as Dott finished the last tie on his shoes. He was ultra sexy in slim black slacks and light blue shirt; tanned and ripped ... I will never get enough of him.
"Yeah, its gonna be fun tonight dude, real fun,"
"I'm driving. You just enjoy yourself Bray; have a hellofa good time, you deserve it,"
I kissed his cheek as he leaned over the counter to scoop up the keys, "just don't abuse me, Mister,"
"Ha!" we both laughed, Dott ribbing me as we headed for the garage.
We pulled up at Billy's. Sarah's car was pulled beside his. We got out and walked up to the door; I opened it and Dott followed me in,
"Hey cutie," Sarah called out hearing my voice; she came out of the kitchen, kissing me on the cheek,
"How's my fav?" I said, pecking her back; red dress hugging toned body,
Sarah reached, putting her arm around Dott's waist, "Hey stud, you good?"
"Yeah, no worries,"
"Mates, gonna have a blast tonight!" Billy bumped Dott's hand then mine, "me, my girl," putting his arm around Sarah, "and my Mates!" Billy was real hot in a tapered light blue shirt and red tie.
"Dude, been looking forward to this all week!"
"We have too," Sarah chimed in, Billy's arms sliding around her waist,
"Ah kay, let's get going," Billy grabbing keys off the hook, tossing them and catching them as he headed for the door.
We piled into the Ute. Dott riding shotgun; Sarah behind Dott next to me. A mindless tune playing as we headed down the street; Sarah's perfume occasionally wafting by me.
Downtown was getting crowded; people out and about. Billy had to go around once, so he pulled to the curb, letting us out,
"Go ahead in and confirm our table, I'll find a space,"
We piled out, Dott helping Sarah. Billy pulled off.
Walking in I looked around at the club. The marble bar on the ground floor joined the restaurant that became a dance floor after 11. I walked over to the tall brunette booby waitress standing by the door.
"Hi there", she said with a big toothy grin, "Did you have a reservation?"
"Yeah Newsom party of four" I confirmed. She ran a taloned finger down the reservations book.
"Yes I have you here, your table isn't ready would you like to wait?" She waved her hand over to the wrought iron cocoon booths by the indoor water feature.
"Love to", Sharon said; we followed her to the booth.
"Can I get you some drinks?" she asked flashing a fake smile.
"Yeah a apple vodka martini for the lady", I recited, "Two Jim Beam and Cokes and a One Fifty Lashes Pale Ale."
"Be right over" she promised.
Will walked in as she was waling away and beelined for us.
"Hopper got your drink" Sharon said and leaned into him.
"Cheers mate."
"You like Manhattans right?"
"Not funny.
Light techie jazz played in the back ground as the club began to fill. We waited for about an hour for our table but didn't mind. The lighting created a sense of intimacy; we simply enjoyed each other.
The crowd was strong when we finally made it to our table and ordered dinner. The conversation was good: the past, school, what had happened since school. Dott's and my eyes kept meeting as we looked across the table; it was difficult to say the least.
Finally the question came, the one I enjoyed every time it was asked.
"So Hopper if you didn't have friends in school how did you and Willy meet?" asked Sharon as our deserts came out.
----- 2006 ----
I sat quietly and with nerves overriding my system. Grade 6 English; great, another year, I'd already done a years' worth of time in this new prison.
Well alright, not really a prison I wasn't in juvie.
I was just in another school for another, however many years, until dad's job posted us to some other state. But no friends, bullied for years, relentlessly, it felt like prison. Well my own kind of prison, I dunno what prisons really like. Looking around at Mrs Jacksons english class, first class of the year, I didn't recognize a single face. Yeah alright I did, but I didn't know them cept for one bloke id said 'gday' to in passing. And what do you know, he was in my class.
I popped an earphone in my left ear and hit play while we waited for our teacher to arrive.
Music filled my ears. The gday bloke was pointing at the chair next to me with my bag on it.
"Cool if I sit here uh..." he trailed off. I silently picked it up and dropped It next to me, pushing the chair backwards for him to use. As he parked it next to me, I looked around again. How do I not know a single person here?
"Sorry?" I heard him say.
"What?" I said shocked.
"You said something?" he pressed.
"Sorry I didn't realize I said it aloud" I said quietly.
"What'd you say though?" he pushed.
"I...I just I dunno anyone here" I said, "I uh, I don't really have friends so, hence the bag on the chair." He patted my back and smiled.
"Billy" he pointed to himself then, "Its uh, Brayson, right?" I frowned.
"Yeah"I said slowly.
"You just made a friend mate" he smiled again, "Don't worry Ill look out for ya."
It was then I started to appreciate his handsomeness. Flamming red hair, stopped just above lashes for days, in which sat, two beautiful pools of blue with the faintest fleck of gold, for eyes. Freckles and a light complexion. He was actually pretty hot.
As the year progressed, so did my first ever friendship. We hung at lunch, out of six subjects, we took four together, we went to paintball, he stayed at my place. Through Billy I met some amazing people I was able to call friends of my own. I began to enjoy school, to yearn for the two bus rides and a train ride to get there. For that first year. We met at Bundamba train station and walked to school every morning. When the home bell rang, we met at the back gate and walked back to the station. The days he had soccer and football practice, I would stay back in the school gym under supervision and practice my self defence. Kick boxing, tai bo, muay thai, street self-defense and my favourite, hand to weapon defense.
Most of it I could do on the punching or kick pads. But when I needed a partner, the secondary PE teacher gladly offered his time. Billy and I became close fast.
During the summer holidays of 2006-2007, Billy crushed all eight fingers in a metal folding accident and the moment I heard, I rushed to his house. I cut my hand in my haste but I was there twice a week just to keep him company. My parents sought to cancel their trip to Frasier Island for a week as I was determined to stay home, but his parents assured them they would check on me. Which was a wasted promise as I spent most of my time at his.
Aside from feeding my dogs, at times I helped him change ... I put my arm around him as he wept through the pain and his predicament. It took him a long time to recover, by March his hands were out of the casts, but he was still in physical therapy and while he had other friends, I did what I could ... because I owed him for that day in English.
I was there for his first 16 year old binge drink at a party, and I spent the night shoving water and bread down his throat. I was there for his first hangover and he was there for mine. He came to Gympie with me as did Brad, and we bonded there. I broke my ankle and he was my third leg. I broke ribs and he was my bag boy. My parents went on holidays, he stayed or asked me over so I didn't have to put up with my older sister and her boyfriend.
By 2013 I had a song, tattooed on my right shoulder, to remind me of the moment I made my first friend.
"So that's it?" asked Sharon. Our fourth or fifth drinks arrived, it was around 9:30 and we'd migrated upstairs to the second level bar made entirely from glass ball bearings.
"Yeah, mates ever since", I said, he gave me a look, "Well I mean we've had our fights, but still goin so we got something right."
"Aww you two should get married", she smiled.
"You should get fucked", Will laughed. Kissing her on the forehead, he laughed and we settled onto our barstools.
At about 1:45 in the morning, Dott parked his ute in the front, beside the gate. The evening had cooled things a bit, although the air remained heavy with moisture.
"I'm gonna clean up then get my shower," I mumbled; it was early and the day was finally catching up to me,
"kay, " his voice fell behind as he stopped to scratch Baxter.
I entered the bedroom; pulling my shirt off, hanging it. I shucked my shoes, placing them on the floor of the closet. I emptied my slacks; wallet on dresser, cell phone in dock, then hung them up. I slipped off my socks, then underwear; stepping down the hall to throw them into the laundry room; yeah, tomorrow I had to get stuff washed. I could hear the tellie; Dott rough housing with the dogs. I smiled, how incredibly home this was becoming.
It didn't take me long to douche; it was now a welcomed nightly ritual. Every time though, my cock jumped, swelling in anticipation; prostate teased by the churning water.
The shower sprang to life; water quick to warm ... droplets becoming streams, the sound of spray magnified in the confined space. I stepped inside, glass quickly opacified. Spumes of vapor, rising through the mist; soap in palm, lather through my bush.
I pushed my head under the spray, wetting my face; lather in my pits, arms raised to rinse. I turned, "Ahhh". Dott's veiny post was pressed against the glass; fingers wrapped over the top.
"Mmmmmm," moan amplified.
"Get the fuck in here," the door opening; rush of cool, then warm vapor.
Dott pressed himself against me, pushing me into the wall; spray surging between us. Tingles; Dott's fingers sliding along my skin, pushing up into my pits, my arms lifted. Soft lips, pushing through the tributaries; gentle touch, smile on mine,
"I can't get you out of my mind Hop," wet mumble between lips, "You," droplets weighing eyelashes, "drive me crazy,". Dott pressed me hard against the wall, pushing my arms above my head; fingers slipped through mine. Chest thumping, rising and falling; tongue ... erect, pushing; me submitting.
"It was so hot sitting next to you tonight, feeling your heat," my lower lip sucked into moist warmth,
Tongue forced itself into my pit, "Uuhhmmmmm," skin sucked taunt; hair enticed, slowly tugged,
"mmmmmmmm fuck," water pelting, tongue pushing, skin pulling; meat pressed against meat. Just as quickly, Dott dove into my other pit, "uuhhhh fuck!",
"mmmmmmm," he growled, electricity shot through me,
'SLllrrrp' 'SLRrrp' Dott leisurely enjoying me,
'Slllrp' 'SLLrrpp' 'SlllrrRRP' warm spray danced around; his feet on mine; pressed against the wall,
"aaAAHHH," teeth clenching on my nipple, slowly pulling then releasing,
"AAAaaaawwww," other nipple, instant hardness,
"Bray, I," lips sucking gently along my neck, "wanna make love to you, so much," tip slipping along wet skin; body jumping, uncontrollable.
I dropped my arms, fingers scratching along sinews, following taper to muscular globes; slipping, separating ... needing. Dott grabbed my hips; twisting me around; cheek on cold ... water resounding, tongue slipping ... hands separating,
"Awe fuck, " resounding through the narrow space; Dott's tongue pushing into my tenderness, "aaaawe fuuuucckkk ," sphincter surrendering; cock pulsing, pushing prenut,
'slllrrrPPP' 'sllRRRpp' 'SSsllrrp' 'ssllrrrP' Dott eating me,
"jeezus babe, love your fuckin cunt,"
'ssslrrpp' 'slrrp' 'slrp' 'sllrrrpp' electricity separating my cunt,
"so fucking love it,"
'slrp' 'SlrrP' 'sLRRp'
"awe fuck hoppy," Dott's strong hands help me open, I pushed back pulling his tongue deeper; push of prenut ... excited drool; finger in my slit, "mmmmmm" my taste erupting on Dott's buds, "y e a h, so fucking sweet,"
'SLRrrp' 'SlllrrPPP' 'SSLLRRRP' 'SSSSLLRRRP' "mine" 'SLrrRRP' 'SSSlllrrrp' 'SlUURRp'
Dott slowly stood; wrapping his arms around me; tight warmth.
"I'll n e v e r get enough," wet sucking, right ear, "e v e r,"
"Mmmmmm, m e e i t h e r,"
Slowly I turned; throbbing on pulsing, our nut drool slipping down, dripping between our balls; I slid to my knees, pleasant musk with hint of sweet sweat; Dott's bush tickled my nose ... deep breath then,
"Awe sweet fuck," mouth surrounding manhood; creamy nuttiness pushed on my tongue,
"holy sweet,"
'SLRRRPP' 'SlRRRP' 'ssLLRRRP' munching down, "f u c k," hands on my shoulder; fingers slipping along globes, gently exploring; the full flavor of my mate ... tantilizing,
'SLLRRRP' 'SllRRPP' 'ssLLRRP' 'SSSllrp' 'SsslrRRP' 'ssllRRRP' 'ssLLLRRp'
"Slow down hop, can't hold on much longer, " a shiver descended around me,
'ssllRRRP 'poP', tongue darting to slit, pulling drool,
I stood; arms wrapped around Dott's neck; lips sucking lips, fingers entwining fingers, my feet on his.
"Love edging with you," noses touching,
"Mmmmmm, me too," Dott's eyes locked to mine,
I turned, pulling the soap bar; lather working in my hands, softly, methodically, soaping his ears, then his chest; tweaking nipples, hearing him gasp, responding. Kissing, working lather over the back of his neck; hands slipping along torso, defining his back; eyelashes closing, lips parting as fingers explored his pits. Carefully I turned him, finger tracing ass, dipping into his moistness,
"f u u u c k, " finger slipped over prostate, "mmmmmm, careful man, gonna blow you keep it up,"
"mmmmm, not yet mate, not yet,"
I finished Dott's legs, teasingly slipping between each toe, nose sliding in his crevice; fingers locking around manhood, slowly, gingerly squeezing along the veins, pushing nut drool, as I stood up behind him,
"mmmm, love this sooooo much," cooing in his ear,
"y e a h," a breath in the vapor, "me too,".
Dott slipped behind me; soaping my back, sliding between my mounds ... teasing expectations; slowly working his way down my legs ... first inner thighs, then behind the soft of my knees, cooing,
"ah h h h," he grasp my cock, jacking, lips now on the nape of my neck ... nibbling; tongue darting inside my ear; palm on glass, cascading water, heat against heat,
"f u c k y e a h, ", pressure building in my balls, tingles shooting into my toes,
"f u c k d u d e, need to slow," Dott backed off. I turned, smiling lips; sucking him in.
"grrrr," moan in my mouth; biting my lower lip, "love edging with you soooo much,"
I reached over, grabbing the shampoo.
"Close your eyes," Dott complying.
I worked the lather up; fresh apples, steam, heat. I nudged him under the shower head, then out; my thumbs wiping the excess water from his eyelashes,
"My turn," as I closed my eyes; Dott's fingers slowly kneading scalp; slipping down, behind my ears.
"There," as he led me under the stream; more apples, steam, heat.
We laughed, as conditioner dripped onto shoulders; lips meeting, exploring each other, tongues entwined. Cock heat rising between us; bushes meshed.
I rinsed, Dott followed. I turned the water off; sudden silence ... our breathing reverberating off the heated tiles,
"I want you mate," lips razzing, "all of y o u,"; sound of our tongues, slurping,
I reached out, pulling our towels inside. I put the towel over Dott's head, rubbing him; beautiful eyes appearing; slowly, methodically, gently ... every part of him; he, repeating ... thumbs rubbing my cheeks as he finished my hair; slowly, methodically, utmost gentleness ... every part of me.
We simultaneously wrapped towels around; Dott opening the glass door, ushering me out. I turned, Dott's fingers slipped along my cheek, lingering on my chin, drawing me ... warmth, softness, wetness; neither of us wanted this to end ... deep pressure, building inside, needing release. All of me, needing Dott.
Dott put his finger on my lips, "why don't you finish. Brush your teeth, gargle; all the things you do. I'm gonna go get our room ready," he arched his brows, then a sly smile creeped over his face, as he opened the bathroom door, his finger, lingered on my navel.
I listened as Dott and the dogs disappeared. I squirted Colgate onto the brush; slipping along all my teeth, then slowly brushing ... water trickling into the bowl. I reached for a glass; gargling as I finished. I feel so fucking special ... Dott listens to me, remembering me as I do him. Hmmmm, I love this ... us. A fleeting thought ... my folks returning, quickly pushed from my mind.
As I left the bathroom, I could hear music drifting from the bedroom. The only light in the hall distant; from the night light in the kitchen. I opened the door, flickers of light jumped along the ceiling ... candles all around. Dott sat on the edge of our bed, the glimmer of his smile enhancing, boyishness.
I let the towel slip, walking toward him; 'clink clink', Baxter shifting next to Bella; big 'sigh' from Gem, who was camped by the deck door. Cool ... steady groan of the A/C; 'shimmer' ... candles on the night table; Dott's eyes following me, tongue wetting lips as I approached; slowly, eyes worked their way up, like crazed fingers on my skin. I stepped forward, my right leg slipping between strong legs.
Dott leaned into me, as my finger grazed his ear. Taylor Henderson's 'Burnt Letters' started, as Dott scooted up, fully on the bed; I leaned over Dott, hardness pressed to mine; my hands on the comforter, lowering myself ... lips on lips ... chests pressed, rising and falling together,
"I want you in me," I whispered,
"Totally," Dott rolled me onto my back,
He nibbled, tongue on my ear; tracing the lines, nose dipping, breath entering; I quivered as his tongue slipped in. He leisurely savored; tongue slipping along my body ... stopping, savoring, then exploring; each nipple hard, excitedly erect before he moved on.
"aaah aah aah" dipping into my navel, flicking along the narrow confines, hovering; delicately tracing the rim, "sweet jeezus, Dott," migrating down, nipping along the edge of the forest; the smell of prenut wafting up, veiny mass pressed against my leg; lazily working down, tongue slipping around my helmet, dipping into nut drool,
"mmmmmmm, you taste so sweet baby,"
"aa aah aaah" body shaking as he took me in, sliding to the root, slowly sucking; up and down; nuts contracting in his fingers. Henderson fading, off to the side. Dancing light, hugging us. Dott's cock, rock hard; so fucking turned on; hands gripped my globes, pulling me further into him, "aah f u c k,".
Young Summer, 'Don't You Want Me' began. Dott slipped down, nose touching softly along my shaft, gently sucking in the right nut,
"Holy f u c k," abs contracting, me arching; rolling nut over his tongue, moans oscillating into me ... my legs responding, "awww f u c k," body shaking as the right nut slipped out; slowly sucking in the left ... rolling, moans, legs jumping, body shaking; the sweet ministrations of my man ... incredible.
I needed all of him.
Suddenly he took my shaft all the way in; heat of his mouth, strong hands on my hips, legs gripping his back. The sounds of slurping, wet sliding; mingling. Deep deep pressure building, nuts contracting, shaft pulsing,
"AWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRR" 'WOOOOOSH' Dott's cheeks puffing, 'WOOOOSH' 'WOOOOSH' slight gag then more puffing 'WOOOOSH' 'WOOOSH' 'woosh' wsssh'
Summer continued, softly floating around us. I looked up, Dott's eyes met mine, a low growl reverberating. I rolled onto my back pushing a pillow under me. Dott's strong arms lifted my legs, separating me. Hot lips on my pussy, then pressure ... more pressure; warmth, wet ... Dott pushing my nut deep inside, holding his tongue as I adjusted; keeping it all inside.
Dott crawled on top, strong arms on either side of me; beautiful silhouette, Dott over me; soft light, hard excitement; wetness.
"ahyeah, that's it Hop, y e a h," as the heat of his head pushed against me; heat on my hole, warm breath on my lips,
"y e a h, just relax baby," pressure, deep pressure, "just let your pussy relax, y e a h, oh sweet fuck, y e a h," head slipping in, my cunt clenching, "oh y e a h, I can feel your heart babe, beating with mine ... you are so hot, so amazingly hot,"
"y e a h, " I breathed, my cunt walls involuntary, rhythmic; eyelids fluttering, shaft penetrating ... cunt sucking, pulling mine into me.
"fuck me Dott," I begged,
Dott lifted his head, looking into me, cock arching then swelling inside, "Nah bro, I'm gonna make love to you,"; my pussy lips tightened around Dott's root.
I nodded; warm sensation from my core to my tips, "I love you mate aye."
"Yeah, I've heard that," brilliant smile, softest face; nose brushing mine. I squeezed then relaxed, a low moan escaping, "mmmmm,"
"Hop, man you're so fuckin tight, mmmmmmm," Dott's lips on mine; me responding,
Slow, sensual ... twisting ever so slightly, Dott slid back; throbbing hardness on my prostate, warmth pulsing through me; then, slowly I was filled to the root, "aahh, yeah, just like that Hop ... me and you,",
The room was silent, the minutest 'hsss' of the candles ... distant droan of the A/C,
Opening rifts lilted over us; Dott's face glowed ... Sofia Karlberg 'Crazy in Love' starting,
'Iyaa look and stare
'so deeyp in'your eyes,
Iyaa touch 'n you more and more every time,'
"yeah, Hop, so fucking crazy over you," slowly slipping, cunt walls sucking; wanting to be full forever,

"Here, lift your leg," Dott pulled my right leg up, "now straighten your left one babe,"

'Got me hopin you'll page me ryght now

'It's the wayAYYy that you know what I thought I knneww,

Dott lay me back, lifting my right leg to joint the other; toes dancing on the back of his head,
"Awwe Hop, I can never tell you enough," slipping, sucking, throbbing ... slipping, sucking, throbbing ... slipping, sucking, throbbing,
"Sssshhh" sucking my lower lip in between his, gentle sucking,

Elexia Overview
Elexia is a male sexual support product that is manufactured by the Wellgenix/ Heaven Sent company. This company also manufactures a number of nutritional health and sexual supplements which can all be ordered from their official website.
The information offered for Elexia on the Heaven Sent site is very limited, although the site itself does include full company address and contact details, an ordering form and product label. Unfortunately, it does not show any clinical studies for the Elexia product, no customer testimonials (although customers are encouraged to send in testimonials and can receive discount coupons by doing so) nor FAQ section. The company has an auto-ship program which the customer has the option of signing up for.
When purchased directly from the company site, Elexia costs $39.95 for a one month supply, although independent retail sites offer the same product at deep discounts. There is no money back guarantee offered for any of Heaven Sent's products, but they will replace products if returned within 30 days of purchase.
Elexia Product Details
The Elexia formula consists of individual ingredients and a proprietary blend, all designed to support sexual stamina and support desire (libido). No explanations are given as to how the ingredients benefit the user, although most are commonly used in this type of product. The main active ingredients in Elexia include the popular aphrodisiac Yohimbe Bark, testosterone supporter Tribulus, anti-depressant St. John's Wort, Zinc, Niacin, Horny Goat Weed, L-Arginine, used to relax blood vessels allowing for improved blood flow, Siberian Ginseng and Oat Straw.
For performance maintenance it is recommended that Elexia is taken daily at a dose of one capsule, with 1-2 additional capsules taken before sexual activity.
Good About Elexia
- Elexia contains all natural ingredients
- The formula contains popular libido-supporter Yohimbe Bark
- Customers can receive coupons by sending testimonials
- Elexia can be purchased from independent online retailers
- Company contact information is provided
- Elexia is made in the U.S.A.
- Replacement products are offered to dissatisfied customers
Bad About Elexia
- No clinical trials are available
- The product may support the user's sensitivity to sunlight
- The Heaven Sent website has limited product information
- No free samples are offered
- No ingredient details are given
- No customer testimonials are provided
- The product must be taken daily to maintain performance
Elexia The Bottom Line
While Wellgenix/ Heaven Sent appear to be a credible company, there is nothing unique the Elexia formula and the company does not back up their claims for the product with clinical studies. For anyone tempted to try this brand, they would be recommended to buy it from an independent retail website where it can be purchased at much more affordable prices than on the manufacturer's own site.

FM Livni Says Israel Agrees to Discuss Terms of Palestinian State
Rice: Olmert, Abbas have agreed to meet biweekly; says talks could include discussions on creating Palestinian state.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told European lawmakers on Tuesday that Israel had agreed "to conduct a dialogue on the conditions for establishing a Palestinian state," according to a ministry statement.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas will hold biweekly meetings mediated by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The American secretary, in making the announcement Tuesday at a Jerusalem press conference, added she would join them "from time to time" to help them along.
Her announcement was met with satisfaction from the Prime Minister's Bureau. "Since a permanent agreement is not possible, we agreed to continue negotiations regarding the future Palestinian state to prevent the dialogue from reaching a deadlock," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said. Israel would present its security needs within the framework of the meetings, she said, adding "the implementation will be done according to the road map, which established that the road to Palestinian statehood is through combating terror."
The Jerusalem press conference concluded Rice's visit to Israel and the PA. She rejected claims that her visit amounted to disappointing results. The fact that Olmert and Abbas had agreed to the biweekly meetings was an achievement, she said, saying they represent an important bilateral channel.
According to Rice, the meetings between Olmert and Abbas would focus on immediate needs such as freedom of movement for Palestinians. This issue would also include the management of border crossings into Israel, efforts to foil arms smuggling and the firing of Qassam rockets from the Gaza Strip.
Rice said she had instructed the U.S. security coordinator to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Lieutenant General Keith Dayton, to assist the talks. Progress in the meetings will be measured by clear standards set in advance, she said.
"In their discussions together, the parties will also begin to discuss the development of a political horizon consistent with the establishment of a Palestinian state in accordance with the road map," she said. Rice stressed these were "initial discussions to build confidence between the parties."
The visiting secretary of state went on to say that "Palestinians must know that their state will be viable. Israelis must know that a future state of Palestine will be a source of security, not a threat to it." She was not sure whether the negotiations would yield a breakthrough before the U.S. presidential elections next year.
Tuesday, Rice met with the families of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, the Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah in July, and the family of Gilad Shalit, kidnapped by Palestinian gunmen in a June 25 border raid.
Rice said she would do what she could to help free the three Israeli soldiers. Rice told their families she had no new information on the soldiers' fate. She said she would bring up the issue of the abducted soldiers in conversations with Arab and European parties who were in contact with their captors. "The meeting was very important because she knows the cases, but she does not know the people behind the names," said Noam Shalit, father of Gilad.

What would you do if your child received a death threat?
in a text and found out it was all a joke started by her boyfriend and carried out by a mutual friend/person?
I was reading about this happening to someone and man, is it scary. I cannot even begin to understand how these kids thought this was funny to do to this girl. :(
What would you do? Police would not do anything until it happened 3 times, which is crazy and could be to late. What do you think should be their punishment?
Oh My! I had dealt with this situation plenty of times in my line of duty, but I haven't and HOPE TO GOD I don't have to deal with this in a personal level because I don't think I will wait 3 times to happen!!
I'd do a police report for sure. I think they can't do anything until three times for it to be considered harassment, which is stupid in my opinion. They don't take things like this involving kids seriously enough. If it were adults you could request a restraining order and probably get it.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The New Orleans Hornets added more
reinforcements for rookie of the year Chris Paul on Wednesday,
signing reserve point guard Jannero Pargo to a two-year contract.
Pargo averaged 4.8 points and shot a career-high 38 percent from
3-point range in 57 games off the bench for the Chicago Bulls last
"He's got a well-known reputation for his ability to shoot the
ball and his ability to really come off the bench and make things
happen quickly," Hornets general manager Jeff Bower said. "He's
the type of guy that with his energy and shooting ability and
ability to get up the court defensively, he can change the tempo of
the game and give you that spurt that you may be lacking."
Bower and coach Byron Scott said they expected Pargo to see more
playing time than last year's third-string point guard,
Moochie Norris, while allowing another free agent pickup,
Bobby Jackson,
the flexibility to play at either guard spot. The Hornets also
expect Pargo to be able to fill in at either guard spot.
"He's not an insurance policy," Bower said.
Pargo rejoins former teammate Tyson Chandler, who came to the
Hornets in a July trade from Chicago.
"Tyson and I were pretty close friends in Chicago," Pargo
said. "Over the years, we've grown a lot closer. That is
definitely a plus for me and for him to sign here because our
friendship can only get better. That's a good thing."
Pargo is the latest addition to the Hornets' roster as New
Orleans moved to add size, outside shooting and overall depth this
offseason. The Hornets also have signed Peja Stojakovic and Jackson
and re-signed Rasual Butler.
"It makes it a lot easier not being the only new guy on the
team," Pargo said. "They had a good run last year, and we're just
trying to build off that and make the playoffs."
Scott said he thought Pargo was likely the Hornets' last
offseason pickup.
"I really feel good about the guys that we have," Scott said.
"Our roster is pretty much complete right now."

All of the latest news relating to Liverpool.
Liverpool midfielder Lucas is set to make a return from a thigh injury when he turns out for the Under-21 side at the end of this week. Lucas has been out for long spells of 2012 after he suffered a knee injury followed by the thigh problem which has kept him out of the team over the course of this season.
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is set to break the European appearance record for a Liverpool 'keeper if he is selected for the Europa League match against Young Boys. The record currently stands at 80 games and is held by former legend Ray Clemence.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with Borussia Dortmund winger Kevin Grosskreutz according to reports. Liverpool are chasing further attacking players this January and the Dortmund play maker has admitted he would like to play in the Premier League with Liverpool thought to be interested.
Schalke star striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is refusing to comment on speculation that he could join Liverpool. Huntelaar's contract at the German club runs out in the summer and he has not commented on the links to Liverpool instead stating his desire to concentrate on football for his current employers.
Hamburg have stated they have no plans to offload South Korean striker Heung-Min Son in January. Liverpool have been linked with the player as Brendan Rodgers has revealed he will be looking to bring another striker into the club to support Luis Suarez.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has come under heavy criticism from Swansea City defender Ashley Williams. Williams says he hates the Liverpool player more than any other professional footballer he has come across due to the arrogance Suarez apparently takes with him onto the football field.
Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen says he is hoping the club can secure Champions League football for next season. A poor start to the season has seen Liverpool lingering in the middle of the table meaning a place in the top four is the best they can hope for over the rest of the season.
Senegal international striker Moussa Sow has revealed that he turned down the chance to join Liverpool last January. Sow is currently playing his football in Turkey and reports linking Liverpool with a move for their former target have started to re-surface ahead of the next transfer window.

I got a request for a few giant cookies, with an edible image on top. I have never made the giant cookie before. I have a few questions..
Do you think I can do Chocolate chip w/ the edible image?
Should I use buttercream underneath, or fondant? Or both..
Do you think it will look bumpy from the chips??
How long do I bake it? I also need a good chocolate chip recipe!!
What would I charge for a 12" round cookie, with either fondant or buttercream?
Does anyone have a picture of a giant choclate chip cookie w/ an edible image??
Thanks in advance!!
I've never done an edible image, but I have had to do the big cookies to look like cake (i.e. smooth) and buttercream or fondant or both will level off the cookie just fine I would imagine. (I can get it smooth enough with BC to look like a cake)
I always use the Nestle Toll House recipe if I am doing plain chocolate chip, though I use butter flavor shortening for half and butter for half.
Bake time depends on your oven, the pan size and depth of the cookie dough. My 14 inch pan (1 inch sides) usually bakes in about 18-22 minutes, even in my crappy oven. Might be worth it to make a practice cookie first to test your bake time too.

creating a caring classroom
Having a caring classroom , can give off the right feeling to who ever enters your class room.
positive relationships
positive relationships are vital in a classroom. learning students name , and knowing their individual needs . There should a balance in the classroom between the teacher authority and friendliness .
one of the most vital elements in any class , is respect. teachers sot only expect respect from the students but should also give the respect. allow group discussions and group work , let them know what they say is heard and respected.
student involvement
Ask your students how they feel about the classroom, ask them how they would want their class to be or what they would like to do in class. This lets the students know that their opinions matter, and it makes them feel more comfortable to share in class. Make sure you follow through with what they suggest.
class identity
the students should see themselves as a group . the togetherness that a sports team has. Start the day off by doing something that requires them to work together.

Inland from Australia's Great Ocean Road, tucked hidden behind the pretty coastal towns, winding road and imposing cliff faces, is the immeasurable beauty of the Great Otways National Park. A wonderland of undulating hills and valleys covered by soft greenery and veined by gentle flowing rivers. At the ends of these rivers are some of the most beautiful and serene waterfalls in all of Australia.
One of the most well known of these, Hopetoun Falls, is a short but steep decent from the carpark on a winding path that at first shelters the sound of falling water and builds anticipation as you slowly round corners and hear the sound increase in volume. Ducking under tree branches and pushing through fern leaves, often wet with raindrops, you can hear birds overhead as they nest in canopies above. Cockatoos, Kookaburras and Bowerbirds are all common.
As the path ends, Hopetoun Falls is revealed. The distant undercurrent is now an unmistakable crash as the water flow hits the Aire River after its 45 metre drop. Scrambling over the soft ground and smooth rock close to the waterfall, a refreshing mist can be felt from the water's spray.
Further downstream it is much quieter. The Aire River trickles peacefully around soft bends, over and around rocks and moss and carries with it small twigs and fallen leaves. It feels disconnected from the rushing water a short distance away. The crystal clear water is gentle enough to see the bottom of the river bed, filled with pebbles.
Buried deep in the forest, Hopetoun Falls feels so far away from everywhere. It is easy to feel like an explorer in a place such as this. Like you are the first person to come across this natural wonder, so untouched is it by human presence. Making the return journey in the cool shade provided by ancient trees and emerging back into the carpark feels somewhat like a return to civilisation.

"There is a war coming. As professionals in the Localization industry, we must realise that we are on the front lines and we need to fight back. Our industry is under attack." **
As 2016 draws to an end, I have found myself reflecting on a year which I guarantee will be a popular answer in 'Pub quizzes' for generations to come. If a question is asked, and you find yourself clueless, there's a strong statistical chance that 'Chuck Norris', or '2016' will be a reasonable shot in the dark.
2016 has seen the tragic passing of so many cultural heroes; Mohamed Ali, Prince, David Bowie, Gene Wilder, Alan Rickman, Caroline Ahern, Terry Wogan, Leonard Cohen to name but a few. From a sporting point of view, it can legitimately be christened 'The Year of the Underdog': from Leicester City's stunning 5000-1 scaling of the Premiere League, to The Chicago Cubs magically repealing their 108 year Curse of the Billy Goat, to Ireland finally overcoming the All Blacks (which took place in Chicago during their celebrations week…thanks Chicago!) after 111 years of hammerings and near-misses.
Over the last year we have watched in disbelief as the world has lurched from one crisis to another. Frankly, this year has felt like one continuous sh*t-storm. From domestic and international terrorist attacks, to streams of refugees fleeing wars and conflicts, to devastating storms and reports of climate change, we are primed to live on edge and in fear. Yet, statistically speaking, we are living in the safest and arguably most enlightened period in human history. However, in a year where "Post-Truth" has been declared the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year, it's fair to say that statistics and facts have taken a backseat in the search for an overall narrative.
"Violence has been in decline for thousands of years, and today we may be living in the most peaceable era in the existence of our species." – Steven Pinker
If we were to look for examples of underdogs from outside the sporting world, it would be hard to argue against the inclusion of the successful leave campaign for Brexit and President-elect Donald Trump. Whatever way you want to break it down, the 'Remainers' and Hillary Clinton had a far greater cache of resources. I am not going to argue the Pro's or Cons for either side in either vote here. Thousands of commentators have weighed in on these topics, and I think they will continue to be subjects which will be studied and debated for years to come. I am going to focus on one issue which has played an important, if slightly over-looked role in the election in America and the Referendum in the UK: Isolationism.
"a policy of nonparticipation in or withdrawal from international affairs".
Isolationism is defined here as "a policy of nonparticipation in or withdrawal from international affairs".
Isolationism, depending on whether you are "a bleeding-heart liberal 'remoaner'", or "a xenophobic right-wing nationalist", is either 'a refuge of the weak and narrow minded whose fears and prejudices are putting us all at risk', or, 'the cure to the ills perpetrated by a global elite who have lost the run of themselves and need to be reminded that charity begins at home'.
"Brexit-plus-plus-plus" – Donald Trump
"Britain voted for independence, it didn't vote for isolation and so we have a choice: are we going to choose to build an open, global-facing economy, or one that's closed and isolated? If we choose the latter, then our economy is finished. If we choose the former, we stand a chance of flourishing greatly." – Lord Wolfson
The isolationist rhetoric, however, became a dog-whistle for the right-leaning, nationalist subculture in the UK. So while legitimate arguments could and should be made for the UK's decision to leave the EU, the message got mired in a turgid mudslinging battle with overtly racist tones. The sad irony of everything that has transpired with Brexit is that the E.U. was built to prevent the very kind of nationalist fervour that its economic mismanagement and political heavy-handedness has provoked.
"It's easy for a generation that has only known peace and relative prosperity to forget that the arc of the political universe is long, and it bends toward wherever you point it. If that's toward chauvinism and isolationism, well, that's what you'll get" – Matt O'Brien
In the US, Donald Trump's campaign, with his "Make America Great Again" slogan, sought to echo the isolationist rhetoric of the "Leave" campaign. Donald made numerous references to Nigel Farage, even going so far as to invite Nigel on stage at a rally in Jackson, Mississippi. President-elect Trump referred to himself as Mr Brexit, and stated that his win would be "Brexit-plus-plus-plus".
…I'm sure there's a funny quote I could put here, but I can't think of one
The concept of Isolationism has a far more complicated history in America. Up until the attack on Pearl Harbour, America had almost always chosen to embrace isolationism over unnecessary involvement in conflicts taking place outside their borders. In both WW1 and WW2, America did not get involved until American interests were threatened. Not wanting to get involved in armed conflicts that are happening half a world away was a pretty understandable position to take. However, Donald Trump's messages on NATO and Climate change are alarming to say the least. For all that we can know about Donald Trump, given his mixed messages on most topics, it is fair to call him an isolationist.
"Staunch isolationists see any international agreement as an entanglement and a constriction of America's free movement in the world. Treaties on climate change or nuclear disarmament or free trade are subject to this as well, as are agreements on human rights. Although an isolationist America might very well agree with the underlying cause of such treaties, being bound by quotas or being forced to act because of certain articles in a treaty is unacceptable to isolationists." – Paul Smits
(for more detail on American Isolationism please read Paul Smits: "Donald Trump and the Sin of Isolationism")
For those Brexiteers who were furious at Obama's "back of the queue" remarks, and who felt that leaving the EU would allow for closer ties in the US/UK special relationship, (this needs to be a status on Facebook ala "It's complicated"), Donald Trump's list of first phone calls: Egypt, Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Turkey, India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, does not inspire confidence. Nor does the NY Times report that Donald told Theresa May "If you travel to the US you should let me know"… That sounds like the kind of thing you'd tell an Australian backpacker in a hostel in Hanoi.. kinda in the hope that they don't take you up on the offer, but knowing in the back of your head that they inevitably will. Although confirming that St. Patrick's Day will be celebrated next year was reassuring.

"We need to develop a more positive and honest political debate, finding ways to put more power in the hands of citizens, and reinvigorating public life with fresh ideas. There is huge anger from those who feel that they have been left behind by globalisation." – Tom Fletcher*
As professionals in the Localization industry do we need to redefine our role in society?
GALA (Globalization And Localization Association) defines Localization as: "the process of adapting a product or content to a specific locale or market. The localization process may include:
- Translation into local languages
- Adapting graphics to target markets
- Modifying content to suit the tastes and consumption habits of other markets
- Adapting design and layout to properly display translated text
- Converting to local requirements (such as currencies and units of measure)
- Using proper local formats for dates, addresses, and phone numbers
- Addressing local regulations and legal requirements
- Adapting graphics to target markets
- Modifying content to suit the tastes and consumption habits of other markets
- Adapting design and layout to properly display translated text
This is, by necessity, a nuts and bolts definition. It covers all the basics and makes it possible to explain an incredibly complicated industry in very easy to understand terms.
The necessary complexity which exists in our industry is, in my opinion, one of our greatest resources. We are staffed and developed by people who have an affinity for other cultures. Euro-Com International, by any measure, is not a large player in the world of translation and localization. However, we work with clients on every continent. Our 38 direct staff cover 11 different nationalities, many different religious beliefs (or not as the case may be), different sexual orientations, and, perhaps most relevant in this current climate, different political ideologies.
As Doug Lawrence said in his brilliant TEDxMarszałkowska talk; "I'm not average; I'm International".
The nature of the job means that we are constantly in communication with people from other countries and other cultures. This often leads to the most obvious areas of friction for us. Watching a female Kazakhstani account manager, based (and educated) in Germany, discussing processes and protocols with a male Egyptian (Dutch trained) project manager is something that needs to be seen to be believed. It is a necessary friction and it is brilliant. It drives us to be better. To show more understanding. To see things from someone else's point of view. To express and develop our empathy for others.
That is the key to this industry: Empathy
The nature of the localization industry means that if you work in localization, you are going to have colleagues from other nations. It is our job, as professionals in the localization industry, to fight the swell of popularity for this isolationist oratory.
We are uniquely positioned, in a global market which relies on our colleagues and peers to facilitate the dispersion of their message, to influence the nature of that message. This process of influence, paradoxically, must begin with an isolationist-tinged introspective look at ourselves. Every time you read calls to put "Britain First", or "America First", or calls to close Dutch, German or French borders, just remember; our industry exists as a living, breathing reminder that no one country can survive on their own. It must become our mission to not just facilitate 'the nuts and bolts' localization of products and messages, but to become incarnate examples of what is great about 'going global' for people who live in doubt and in fear of foreigners. We must celebrate our staff, our colleagues and our peers, and take a determined position in the war on localization.
We are the antithesis of isolationism
If you're not sure where to begin in this movement against isolationism, just remember this brilliantly simple quote:
"You don't have to be a dick"- Richard Brooks
*Tom Fletcher is former British ambassador to Lebanon and 'Twitter diplomat'
** Andrew Hickson (just because it's in quotes on the internet doesn't mean it's scientifically proven… I apologise for the hyperbolic rhetoric, but I think you get the point)

Cape Town - Two Capetonians used a sunny, windless election day on Wednesday afternoon as an excuse to spend some quality time away from their children.
Eytan Herskovitz, 41, and his wife Joanne, 40, sat contented on the pavement outside Jan Van Riebeeck Hoerskool in Gardens after voting.
Their children Ä eight, six and five months old Ä waited at home.
Their legs were spread out to catch the rays and they feasted on frozen yoghurt from the shop opposite the road.
"We have our nanny looking after our kids still so we'll enjoy our little peace for the next hour," Eytan said, snuggling in close to his wife.
"Then we'll take some time out with the kids and have a nice break and lunch."
The Herskovitzs, in the retail furniture business, were surprised by how "painless" and quick the process was at one of Cape Town central's main voting stations.
Eytan said he had also noted a difference in atmosphere compared to 1994 elections.
"I think everybody is chilled. It's a much more relaxed atmosphere now. In 1994, everyone was a bit tense. Nobody knew what to expect."
A 42-year-old chef, who only wanted to be identified as Magaisa, agreed that this vote was different to the one he cast in Polokwane many years ago.
"Before, you know, there was quite a lot of violence but now there are no queues. Today it's quiet but I don't know about other places," he said, standing next to his wife and eight-year-old son.
The voting station had an extremely short queue and seemed more like a fashion parade.
Young fashionistas and hipsters clutched their takeaway coffee cups and smartphones on their way into the school.
The numerous cafes and restaurants along Kloof road were packed with people taking advantage of the public holiday.
A car guard cashed in on cars desperate to find a parking spot on the road outside the school, which was already notorious for its lack of parking.
He said he was not voting because he was from the Democratic Republic of Congo and didn't count.
"I don't want to talk to the media. I'm not important," he said before rushing off after a fancy car for a tip.

Upgrading with rsync
The standard instructions tell you to use ftp to install and upgrade. I find rsync a lot quicker.
What I do is:
1) backup and turn off plugins.
2) download and unzip wordpress
3) open a terminal, change directory to one level above the wordpress directory.
4) type something like:
rsync -avz wordpress/ email@example.com:/httpdocs/wordpress
5) run upgrade.php and turn plugins back on.
This is a lot faster than using FTP. rsync will upgrade the files that have changed and leave everything else alone.
Linux and MacOS usually have rsync installed, and it is a free download for Windows.
It does require a host that allows SSH access, but even the restricted ssh logins are enough – e.g. if SFTP works, then this should.
Is there anything wrong with this? As far as I can see it is much easier, safer and faster than FTP. The codex currently makes no mention of rsync except a passing mention in a draft article about security. Is there a reason for the omission or should I (or someone) add instructions?
- The topic 'Upgrading with rsync' is closed to new replies.

I or my staff will return and respond to all communications from you in a timely manner. I will personally be available to respond to and address your questions and concerns and to offer sound legal advice.

While voice mail is very useful in particular before and after regular office hours, my office refrains from using voice mail on a routine basis and during business hours you may expect to speak directly with staff. Office hours start as early as 7 a.m.
I confine my practice to family and matrimonial law, an area in which I have practiced 35 years. I limit my practice to matters which include separation and divorce, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, custody and child support matters, adoption and post-divorce issues of modification and enforcement. I practice in Family Courts of various counties, New York State Supreme Court, and am admitted to practice in federal court, bankruptcy court, and the Appellate Courts. I practice in Erie, Niagara and Wyoming Counties.
Your divorce may be your first encounter with the legal system. My staff and I understand this can be a difficult process financially and emotionally. You may face unexpected issues in the process, and the goals and desires of your spouse may be vastly different from yours. It's vitally important that you understand the basics of the divorce process from start to finish to achieve a positive outcome. The divorce process can become complicated, full of deadlines and complex paper work. I will work diligently and personally with you to address your concerns so that together we can achieve the best outcome.
If you feel that I may be the right attorney to represent you and wish to explore this relationship further, please call my office (or use the Contact Us form) to schedule a consultation or case evaluation conference.

The Emperor Qin
The Qin Dynasty
The Ruler of Zheng
Zheng was born in 259 B.C.E. and ruled from 221 B.C.E. to 210 B.C.E. In 221 B.C.E, The Qin rulers took over the state of Zhouin. His new title was Qin Shihuangdi. The Emperor of Qin was greatly influenced by legalism and adopted these ideas: strict laws, harsh punishments, and a strong central authority. Thy used harsh punishments because they wanted to maintain power. One key step was to create a uniform of laws. A number of the emperor's laws were aimed at government officials. The emperor's laws were based on legalist beliefs. The laws were detailed and they wrote out exact punishments for people who broke them. The emperor standardized money, weights, and measures. Qin forced workers to build a long wall acrossed china. The wall took ten years to build and 300,000 workers. They worked under difficult conditions like mountains and deserts. The wall was extremely effective at preventing invasions. Li Siu told the emperor that the scholars were causing trouble and the government should censor the scholars. The emperor agreed to order the book burning of the confucian writings. Some scholars chose to die rather than give up their books.

" The guesthouse is very well located in between the clock tower and the fort, each in walking distance. The stuff is extremely helpful and when I forgot my charger they even sent a tuctuc spontaneously to a meeting point at the highway to give it back! The rooms are traditionally decorated. They are not the cleanest, but the owner promised it was just because the season just started. The AC and view depend on the room. On the rooftop they are providing tasty, cheap food with an amazing view. "- Anonymous
