Escape Date: 3rd February 2014
dPace: We're fresh from our very efficient escape adventure and enjoying a good meal nearly forgetting our hungry stomachs after the euphoria of reaching #1 in the Hall of Fame. But wait, I don't recognise these doors. There are so many of them. Are we like trapped in some illusion hallway?
Dscry: I think not. These doors can be opened physically or so I thought. We are currently trapped in a room called 'Unplugging from the Matrix' in Mission Q. Listen… What is that sound?
dPace: It sounds like some kind of noise, or codes, or a song from a movie, I'm not sure. Maybe it's nothing? There are many digits here and letters too. I wonder what's going on in this corridor of doors.
Dscry: So, which door are we supposed to open first and which door is the exit? This room has the most amount of numbers compared to all the other rooms we have played up till now. Oh! I think I just solved this.
dPace: Wow. This is the most difficult puzzle to solve and you did it without any hints, and we've only used up 15 minutes of our time limit of 1 hour. Great! I think we will be on the Hall of Fame again :) Just as I thought, this won't be our room to the exit, let's try another door, or so it seems. I wonder if they're any "thing" hiding behind these doors.
Dscry: No, I hope not. Okay, let's try this door now. This is not the exit either. We need to unlock the next door. I see a maze. This maze is very interesting.
dPace: Oh, lemme ask my brother handle this maze. Ah, he's done it. Now what, we need to be some kind of athlete or musician or stuntman?
Dscry: That has to be the most interesting way to unlock a door so far. That was so cool! I admit this room is not easy. Despite the ratings given by Mission-Q, it is more difficult compared to The Missing Corpse.
dPace: Lesson learnt, "Common sense or general knowledge sometimes do help a lot". Okay… here's another contraption. I seriously wonder how they came up with these creative ideas.
Dscry: Yeah, Mission-Q by far has the best creativity in puzzle making and room designs. I can't wait for us to finally play their last room which is 'Day and Night'. I heard it is the toughest room. As we once again left another mark on the Hall of Fame for 'Unplugging from the Matrix', we look forward to playing their most difficult room in the near future.
Amount and difficulty of puzzles – 4.5 / 5
Common knowledge required – 4.5 / 5
Room complexity – 5 / 5
Players recommended – 5 (maximum 6)
Hints given – 1
Difficulty rating (according to Mission-Q) – 4 / 5

New Spiritual Answers to Life's Big Questions
presents new spirituality concepts in clear and inspirational style to enlighten the open-minded seeker on a spiritual path.
The book is based on the belief that human beings are physical manifestations of eternal souls, who are part of a divine spirit. Everything in the universe is part of the God source, and each human is a tiny part of a large organism that is comprised of light and love.
Human beings incarnate on earth again and again, with the purpose of learning and evolving, ultimately obtaining communion with our divine source. When we are not on earth, we exist in a non-physical dimension, where we completely understand our divine nature and purpose. But when we incarnate into
physical form, we forget who we truly are; our true nature is hidden behind a veil of forgetfulness, so that we can fully engage in the experience of human life.
All souls will sooner or later embark on a path of enlightenment. This is a time where many are awakening, and more will follow. There are many books, websites, and other resources available to help and inspire each individual in the process.
My purpose for presenting this information is to share the ideas and thoughts and resources that have shaped my process of awakening in the hopes
that others will find it inspirational on their own spiritual journey.

Missing Kato
Throughout Kato illness we did the bargaining thing. One more Christmas (we got two), one more Landmark with people she feels content with (Martello Tower with J &S), one more summer, one more walk with people she adores (thanks G & J) one more visit from P&B so she could chew P's beard (we had several), one more science defying back from the brink (she did a few) and she saw me through my cancer.
But at the end, it comes down to one more day, one more hour, just five more minutes. What I wouldn't give to just rest my face on her soft head and inhale that wonderful, warm smell of Kato. Kato never grew up, the eternal puppy, so it feels like she went too soon and we have to remind ourselves that she was 12.5
Losing her has left a huge gap, the house feels too big and the future feels strange.

I really found a treasure buried deep in the back of a closet. It is a letter my mother had written to her sister, Marty, on July 10, 1962. The letter is about helping her dear friend and neighbor, Dusty, to get ready to move. At this time Marty lived in Napa, California, married and raising her three boys and daughter. We lived in Los Angeles and also a family of six. From the letter it seems both my sister and I (4 and 2 years old) were up with my aunt and uncle, while cousins, Lee and John (14 and 12) were visiting us. A bit of kid-swapping.
I felt like I had just unearthed a pirate's treasure. I held the envelope and inspected the postage date along with the four-sent stamp. When I pulled the letter out it was cleanly folded and made a crinkling sound, as if to say, "I'm still here!" It was typed with a Remington style typewriter (and this would not be electric) on crisp, slightly transparent typing paper, where the edges are now slightly discolored.
Within the letter my mother talks about helping Dusty pack her home and clean the new one, and how kitchens are always "the biggest time stealers of all". She helped with scraping paint and varnish off the bedroom floors, followed by washing and waxing. She mentions how much fun the boys had running the new polisher that Dusty had bought with her "green stamps". However, the part I thought was the most tender was how she felt about her friend leaving. She wrote:
"To have Dusty for a neighbor for the past year was the most wonderful experience for me. I don't ever expect to meet anyone so kind and thoughtful and so entirely good hearted again in my lifetime. This all sounds as if we'll never see each other again, but I know from past experiences, that you never have the closeness in everyday life when you just see each other once a month or less. But still we learn from each other and grow with each friend we make. right, right."
Since my mother passed away in 1976, it is deeply moving to feel her words as she talks about her friend. It is some thing that we may have all experienced at one time in our life and certainly something she felt 50 years ago. I love you Mom.

Harry Strain, Jo Ann Blasingame lead seasonal Awards
Seasonal awards were presented at the athletes banquet of the NW La. District Senior Olympics Wednesday. In left photo, Harry Strain shows off the Hazel Gay Torch Award after receiving it from District Coordinator Doyle Blasingame (right). In the right photo, Jo Ann Blasingame receives the 2013 Northwest District MVP Award from her husband, Doyle, at the Harrah's Louisiana Downs' Sky Club event. (Click photos to enlarge)
Harry Strain won the coveted Hazel Gay Torch Award and Jo Ann Blasingame received the Most Valuable Player Award as the 21st NW La. District Senior Olympics drew to a close with an athletes banquet at Harrah's Louisiana Downs' Sky Room Wednesday (May 29).
District Coordinator Doyle Blasingame recalled history and the late Hazel Gay's persistence in helping to get the District Senior Olympics going again in 1995 as he presented the award. After conducting the district games for three years, the YMCA of Shreveport-Bossier discontinued running the games. Gay worked to convince Blasingame and the Bossier Council on Aging to become the sponsoring agency and they did in 1996. "Hazel was a very special lady. If it hadn't been for her, who knows where we would be. And if it were not for workers like Harry where would we be today?"
The crowd applauded when the coordinator said, "she is the wind beneath my wings," in presenting the MVP award to his wife, Jo Ann. The award was started two years ago and goes to someone who's service often goes unnoticed but is vital in the various tasks that keep the games running smoothly.
Paula Hadwin received the Ken Howard's Spirit Award, emblematic of an individual who openly enjoys taking part in the games, encourages fellow competitors and brings others into the competition. Barbara Wheeler and Gary Price were named 2013 Athletes of the Year. Gerry Robichaux received the Volunteer of the Year Award.

ST. IGNACE - A Petoskey man and Special Olympian will be among a group of runners slated to cross the Mackinac Bridge Wednesday as part of a 750-mile fundraising event.
Officials with the Special Olympics of Michigan organization said at about 2:30 p.m. Todd Williams, 28, will be among a group to run across the Mackinac Bridge and continue on for another 25 miles. Williams has been in Special Olympics for three and a half years and participates in basketball, soccer, bowling and distance races.
The run is part of the 27th Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run, a relay that began Monday in Copper Harbor and is scheduled to end Friday at about 6 p.m. in Sterling Heights.
Last year, Williams joined the run for 31.5 consecutive miles.
In the past 27 years, the run has raised more than $200 million for Special Olympic athletes across the world.
At the same time as the runners are scheduled to cross the bridge Wednesday, the Michigan State Police Dive Team plans to swim across the Straits of Mackinac.

52-Week Photo Challenge: Week 6 | Artistic: Candy
"WEEK 6: Artistic: Candy: Your artistic interpretation this week should be inspired by something sweet. Therefore, a great chance to play with macro photography."
So problem number 1: I don't have a macro lens. And my 50mm will definitely not focus near enough. So let's just keep this week's 52-Week Photo Challenge: Week 6 to artistic and candy and sweet.
Since I don't have a macro lens to play with, and the main subject is artistic. I didn't want to take random pictures of something sweet. And it was really hard coming up with an artistic approach to it. Furthermore, in all of the Artistic section of this challenge, you can take the theme literally or figuratively. And I chose the later.
So here is my "artistic" take on candy = the summer skies. Which by the colors and the clouds look like cotton candy!

All plants that carry out a biological process according to the "active mud" principle, are part of the history of the development of waste water treatments. It was in 1913 that two Britons, Ardern and Lockett, announced their "active mud" system, an idea that was then revolutionary. It developed rapidly and soon became the most versatile way to purify waste water.
As in all biological processes that use liquid, the oxygen required by micro-organisms or bacteria must be available in a dissolved state. In "natural" aerobic purification (ie: the way in which water cleans itself in a natural environment, in ponds for example) the oxygen necessary for the development of the biological reactions is made available in a dissolved state through either oxygen in the atmosphere being dissolved into the water or due to the function of oxygen-producing chlorophyll present in green algae. In "active mud" plants conditions differ to the natural environment: owing to the increased concentration of bacteria, there is not enough oxygen available from the atmosphere and, moreover, green algae cannot develop in the dense mix that characterises this type of treatment. It is therefore necessary to carry out artificial aeration.
In an environment rich in oxygen, like aeration tanks, a complete physical, chemical and, above all, biological process can take place. In the first place, a chemical oxidation of the reduced compounds (such as hydrogen sulphate, sulphides and sulphite) takes place. Then, through a physical and biological process, the large concentration of bacteria which has been growing in the aeration tank intervenes and forms a "colony" consisting of "biological sludge", that is to say, a gelatinous mass that binds together the sedimentable solids that have escaped previous treatment. Also, the non-sedimentable colloidal solids are held together because of the physical phenomenon of absorption; this is caused by a strong movement of superficial attraction that encourages the colloidal substances to stick together and stay in clumps in the biological sludge (this is determined by the amount of surface area available for the colloidal substances to adhere to: from 2000 to 10000 m² per m³ of tank volume).
Also, during the long period of time in which the waste is inside the aeration tank, the bacteria themselves use some of the soluble organic substance present in the liquid for their own development, making them increase in size and, therefore, making them sedimentable. At the same time they start to purify the sedimentable and colloidal substances, which are bound together in the biological sludge.
This results in a net increase in both bacteria and the sludge in which they are bound which then passes through the waste water in the following sedimentation stage. The sludge is collected in the bottom of the tank while the cleaned water overflows it into collection channels. The clean water can then undergo further treatment, for example; disinfecting or water recovery, before the water is sent to its final stage. A fundamental result of biological treatment is that it turns (dissolved and colloidal) organic substance into a sedimentable state. That is to say, the organic substances are subjected to a sedimentation process, which otherwise could not be collected or removed in the liquid stage. A typical characteristic of biological processes is "to remove" the organic substance and due to this they can reduce the BOD more than chemical physical treatments.

Since blowing people's minds at their SOLD OUT show in The Warehouse last year, Galactic's reputation for energetic live shows precedes them. You'll be stoked to shake off those winter blues with this funk-filled show in 2018.
They've been the go-to NOLA party band for the last 20 years throwing down a futuristic funk that takes the foundation laid down by the Meters and turbo-charges it for the 21st century. When Galactic is in town and it's your only chance of the year to see them, are you really going to stay home? Not an option.

About amity
We have an eye for detail and an ear for expression.
amity communications was created to make it simpler for businesses to communicate across the globe. Right from the start we knew that global communications depend on far more than quality translation, transcription or interpreting services. As overseas expansion grows and businesses increasingly communicate with their customers in their mother tongues, integrating design, typesetting and international distribution have become the key obstacles interrupting the process. We decided to build an agency that could manage the entire journey, from concept to delivery.
Since then, our business has won awards, found, retained and assisted many clients, both international and domestic, and of course, grown considerably. We're proud of how far we've come but even prouder to say that the personal, flexible touch that clients loved at the start is still what drives amity today.
Global markets open a world of opportunities, but seizing them presents some challenges too. How do you accurately translate crucial documents into multiple languages? Can you be sensitive to local culture without diluting your brand? Which tools manage international distribution chains cost effectively and without delay? We've spent years finding out and developing the answers.
What makes us different
Why choose amity?
amity provides seamless solutions to simplify global communications.
At amity you won't simply be another customer, you'll be a valued client that we work hard to understand and help. Whether you're a large global corporation or just beginning the journey of taking your brand overseas, we'll find the right solution for you. Most of our clients come to us through recommendation and rely on us because they know that our language solutions are trusted in professions where getting it right really matters, like legal services, financial services, asset management and market research. For many, the fact that we not only translate, but also design, produce and distribute content is really important as it means we can manage the entire project life cycle, saving time, cost and of course, improving speed to market.
As an Amity client you'll benefit from
- Specialist project managers, translators and localised editors hand-picked for your project.
- Designers and multilingual copywriters who can adapt your brand making it relevant for new markets.
- Access to our European printing and distribution network.

|The Dealer
by Don Beck ©
Marie and I were sitting out in the backyard on a warm summer evening. We were sipping some wine as we enjoyed a soft breeze. As usual we were talking and laughing, savoring our time together. I leaned over to kiss her but was interrupted by the doorbell. I gave her a soft peck and went to answer the door. It was our new friend Bill from down the street. I invited him in, got him a glass of wine and took him outside. Marie stood up and gave him a nice welcoming hug.
As we sat down, Bill said, "I'm sorry to stop by like this but I was feeling a little lonely."
We knew that Bill was home alone because his wife and kids had gone back east to visit relatives and he hadn't been able to go.
"Well, we'll just have to try and cheer you up," Marie replied.
So we drank and talked and laughed and drank some more. Marie looked sexy as usual, in a pair of short cutoffs and a tank top. I could see Bill glance at her from time to time, but then so was I.
I've never understood why men get upset about other men checking out their wives. It's just an affirmation of how attractive she is.
As the sun dropped, so did the temperature. It was still pleasant but Marie's nipples were obviously poking against her shirt from the cooler breeze. As she wrapped her arms around herself, I suggested we all move inside. We refilled our glasses and sat down to talk.
After a while the discussion turned to Bill's past. We were a little surprised to find he had once been a Blackjack dealer in Vegas. I got out a deck of cards and asked to see his skills. He was very good and was soon showing us ways people cheated and some card tricks he had learned. Then we played a few hands just for fun. We had nothing to bet with so I jokingly suggested playing for clothes.
We all laughed and Marie said "I've heard of strip poker but not strip blackjack." We all laughed again as I quickly grabbed the cards and dealt out five cards to each of us. We picked up our cards, discarded, and took our draws. We laid down our hands. I was low man.
As I passed the cards on to Bill to deal, Marie said, "So take off you shirt."
I laughed and said, "What?"
She repeated herself and added, "Since you were low and I was high I get to tell you what to remove."
I couldn't believe she was serious but by now Bill had joined in so I removed my shirt. Bill then dealt another hand. This time he was low and Marie was once again high so she told Bill to take off his shirt.
Bill grinned at me and said, "I think we're in trouble."
It was Marie's turn to deal, but first I decided we needed some ground rules. I said, "If we are really going to play this we have to agree to some rules. First, the game is not over until everybody is naked." I turned to Marie as I said, "It's not fair if Bill and I are the only ones naked."
Marie laughed and said, "I think it is."
Bill then said, "That's all right. Marie doesn't have to if she doesn't want to."
Marie surprised me when she replied, "No, I'll go along with the rules if everyone else does."
As she picked up the cards I said, "There's one other thing. If one person loses all of their clothes and then loses another hand, the high hand can tell that person what to do, like doing a dance or getting us a drink or whatever. As long as it's nothing against our will."
Bill laughingly agreed and Marie did also as she said, "Sure since I'm already winning."
Bill smiled and said, "You might regret that cocky attitude."
Marie then continued to deal. I think Bill and she were looking forward to seeing each other naked. I, on the other hand, was starting to think of things that I could make them do once they were naked. This time Marie lost and I was high man.
As she started to pull her top off I said, "No. The shorts."
She hesitated but then stood up and quickly unbuttoned and dropped her pants to the ground. She playfully kicked them off at my head. But she looked awesome. After all these years the sight of her still excites me. I could feel my dick starting to swell. By the way Bill adjusted his position I think he was feeling the same. Marie sat cross-legged on the floor. I think she was teasing us, knowing there was only her panties between her open lips and us. As I dealt the next hand I noticed Bill looking at my wife's crotch. I'm sure she noticed too.
So far the dealer had lost each hand but not this time. This time Marie lost again and Bill was high. He grinned as he reminded her of her being cocky earlier. Marie just stuck her tongue out at him. He smiled as he stared at her panties, but told her to take off her shirt. She pulled off her shirt to reveal her nice tits sitting in a sexy black bra she often wore. My dick rose higher.
Bill's deal. This time I was sure I had lost again but amazingly Bill's hand was worse. Marie got to return the favor as she told him to take off his pants. She never took her eyes off of him as he stood and dropped his shorts. She stared at his crotch as she saw his boxers trying to hold back an obvious hard on. I noticed how red her cheeks were. Was it the wine or the excitement?
She forced herself to take her eyes off of his bulge as she began to shuffle the cards. This time I lost. As I dropped my pants, I was pleased to see Marie staring at the bulge in my tight shorts. I'm sure she also noticed the obvious wet spot. Things were now very interesting, and though we continued to joke it was obvious the mood was changing. We all tried to be discreet as we stared at each other's bodies but we still stared.
My deal. I won, Marie lost. I wanted so badly to see her wet pussy, but I had her remove her bra. She took it off slowly as Bill and I watched attentively. Her nipples were very hard. She leaned back on her hands, which made her tits stand up. I just wanted to rip off her panties and plunge my cock into her pussy. But I forced myself to relax and enjoy my gorgeous wife. I know Bill was. His boxers now formed a very large tent as his erection seemingly was reaching for Marie. Marie also noticed. Bill stared at Marie's tits and then her crotch as he dealt, not really paying attention to where the cards went. But he didn't need to; he knew how to deal.
We were all now down to our underpants. Who would show themselves first? The answer was Bill. I had hoped it would be me because I wanted to get out of the confines of my underwear. Once again Marie won and Bill lost. She didn't say a word, simply smiled at Bill and nodded towards his shorts. He stood and slowly pulled his boxers down. As his shorts began to push his member downward, he reached down and pulled out his large cock. Marie didn't exactly smile, but I could tell by the look on her face that she was impressed. He was easily seven inches long, maybe more, with a nice thickness that Marie loved so much. His balls matched his dick, very big and hanging down in a nice red sack. As he sat back down, Marie now had one very hard dick pointing directly at her. I don't think she realized it but her mouth was slightly open, as if in awe.
Marie's deal. I couldn't wait for what would happen next. I could see her glancing over the top of her cards at Bill's large member. This time I won and Marie lost.
I smiled at her and said, "Sorry babe, but it's time to pay up."
She made a face at me, which made me laugh, as she stood up. Her body was actually facing Bill with her head turned slightly towards me. She stared me straight in the eyes as she slowly pulled her panties down. I watched as her soft patch of pubic hair came into view. Then I saw her wonderful shaven lips. She pushed her panties down until they dropped, then stepped out of them. I heard a slight exhalation of air from Bill. I smiled up at my wife's gorgeous face. She held my gaze as she sat back down. She sat with her legs together and off to one side. I was a little disappointed but I realized she needed to get used to a stranger seeing her naked.
As I dealt the cards, she lay down on her side to study them. Or was it to get a closer look at Bill's dick? I was the only one left with any clothes on and since I didn't want the game to end yet I tried very hard not to lose. Sure enough I won and Marie lost.
I smiled at her and said, "What should I have you do? How about a kiss for your husband?" She sat up and leaned towards me. Before we could kiss, I whispered in her ear, "I also want you to sit cross-legged".
I wasn't sure she would as she kneeled in front of me and gave me a deep tongue kiss. But when it was over and she sat back, she indeed spread her legs and sat like I had requested. I think she was a little self-conscious as she looked down at the ground. But I was very proud of her. Also very turned on. I couldn't help but notice her wetness as her lips pulled apart. I could also see her inner lips pushing outward.
Bill dealt again. I don't think Bill or Marie realized it but they were both looking under their cards, staring at each other's sex. I'm sure they were both distracted because they took a while to discard. This time Bill lost and Marie won.
She grinned at him as she said, "How about doing a dance for us?"
Bill good-naturedly stood and began a silly dance that had us both laughing, especially with his big dick swinging around him. Marie was much more relaxed now as she leaned back on her hands. Before Bill sat back down, his dick was right at Marie's eye level, which she took full advantage of. She also realized that by leaning back she was giving us a wide-open view of her pussy. But she stayed in that position as the cards were dealt again. This time I won again as Marie lost.
"I want you to give Bill a kiss", I said.
Neither protested as they leaned together and kissed. It wasn't just a peck but an obvious full-blown tongue thruster. They were both very much enjoying it until I jokingly cleared my throat. They reluctantly pulled apart.
Next hand. Again I won and Marie lost. She looked at my wonderingly. I think by now she was hoping I would pick something with Bill again. I also think that the fact that it was out of her control made it easier for her. So I told her to kiss Bill's nipples. Bill leaned back slightly as Marie approached. She smiled at him then quickly moved her mouth down to his chest. But she didn't just kiss his nipples she sucked them hard, one and then the other. As her hand moved onto his leg I told Marie that she couldn't do anything else unless she was told to first. Bill had a muscled chest with large pecs, which Marie enjoyed with her mouth. After a few minutes of that pleasure, they separated again.
Finally I lost a hand. I stripped off my shorts. I was so glad to let my dick loose. I was afraid I looked small compared to Bill, but if I did Marie didn't let on. She stared at my hardness and smiled. As I sat back down Marie looked from one dick to the other, no longer hiding her glances.
I was afraid the game would end now that we were all naked, but then Marie said, "Whose deal?"
By now nobody cared whose deal it was and Bill grabbed the cards and started another hand. This time Marie won and believe it or not Bill and I had identical hands.
Marie said, "Since you're both losers you both have to do as I say. Kiss my breasts."
We both attacked her nipples, one for each of us, trying not to bump our heads together. I had Marie's left nipple in my mouth and was amazed how hard it was. I stopped for a moment to watch Bill as he licked Marie's right nipple. It was also very erect against his tongue. Marie was leaning back with each of us straddling one of her legs. I could feel the tip of my dick sliding across her thigh and I was pretty sure Bill's dick was doing the same. As Bill and I both sucked hard on Marie's breasts, she suddenly leaned forward and pushed us away.
"Next hand", she said.
As I sat back down I could see how flushed Marie was. Her nipples were standing straight up and her pussy was glistening with her wetness. All self-consciousness was lost, as we were now comfortable with each other and ready for more. The next hand was won by Bill, with Marie having the low hand.
He turned to Marie and said, "I want to watch you go down on Don."
Now it was my turn to lean back as I watched Marie engulf my cock. She was so good at giving head, I sometimes wondered if she did it for a living in a past life. I was so hot that after a few quick strokes I had to stop her. She didn't want to quit but I made her.
The cards flew as we played the hands out faster and faster. Nobody cared if they won or lost anymore because everybody won in some way. Next hand Bill won and Marie lost again.
"Now it's my turn", Bill said to Marie as he leaned back.
Marie moved quickly to Bill. She started by slowly licking his clear, dripping juice from the head of his dick. As she did this she looked up at him, only to see him watching her. Then she slowly slid her mouth around his wide member and down his shaft. She got all but about an inch of it into her mouth. She then began to stroke him with her mouth, soon adding her hand to the blowjob.
With incredible control, she pulled away and said, "Next hand."
Bill appeared disappointed but didn't complain. I won, Bill lost.
"Return the favor", I said.
They both smiled as Marie lay back and Bill dove for her pussy. He was like a madman, tonguing her lips and clit. Then he was tongue fucking her. Marie was breathing rapidly and holding his head with her hands. This time it was my turn to stop them. They kept on but I insisted. I told them we were almost to the end of the game. Last hand.
I don't even know who lost but I think Marie won, because as soon as we laid down our cards she said, "Somebody just do me. I don't care who and I don't care how. I just need to come."
With that, I immediately started to lick her clit. I knew I could make her come, but I didn't realize how fast it would be until she tensed up after only about a minute, grasped my head and ground her hips into my face.
Bill had only been watching deciding what to do when Marie came. She then decided for Bill what he should do as she pushed him back and began to suck his dick hungrily. She was on her hands and knees and her pussy was inches from my face, literally dripping. I knew her clit was sensitive so I slipped my middle finger into her pussy and began to rub her now-swollen G-spot. She began pushing against my hand urgently. She continued sucking Bill and I continued rubbing her pussy until I could feel her pussy tightening against my finger. She released Bill's dick to let out a loud moan as another orgasm wracked her body. Just as it started to subside I moved up between her legs and pushed my rock-hard cock into her steamy hole. As I began stroking her fervently, her pussy tightened again as her orgasm grew once more. I pumped her hard and fast as I watched her take Bill's big hard dick back into her mouth. But not for long. Bill suddenly pulled away and I saw why as his hot white jizz splashed across Marie's chest. I was only a moment behind as I came long and hard, squirting my cum into Marie's hot pussy. We were all out of breath as we collapsed into a pile.
My bladder was full from all the wine so I got up to pee. It wasn't easy because I was still rigid. Apparently Bill was too, because when I came back, the first thing I saw was his ass rising up and down as his body covered Marie's. Her legs were wrapped around his, and as I came closer I could see her thrusting her hips up to meet his as they fucked. I was finally close enough to see his big dick plunging in and out of Marie's cunt. It was soaked with her juices. They were staring at each other, the look of hot sex showing on their faces as they strained to please each other and themselves.
It was amazing to watch Marie screwing. When she and I made love, I could see her face and part of her body. But now I could enjoy everything about her. I was able to see not only her gorgeous face but admire how good she was at sex and how much she truly loved it.
I don't think they were even aware I was in the room, they were so intent on humping each other. I was so in awe of that sight that I couldn't move. I simply watched and enjoyed. I could hear their heavy breathing. I could hear the wet noise of Bill's dick plunging in and out of Marie's soaking pussy. I could hear the sound of their bodies slapping together. But most of all I could see my wife fucking. She was so beautiful! As their thrusting became even more frenzied, I realized they were approaching their climaxes. Sure enough, Marie's face began to form that glorious frown of ecstasy. I'm sure the sight of her pleasure is what triggered Bill's tremendous orgasm. I didn't think it was possible, but they briefly fucked each other even harder as their orgasms overtook them. It was truly amazing to see two people enjoying so much intense pleasure together, especially Marie. Their thrusting finally slowed and then stopped altogether as Bill collapsed on top of Marie and then rolled next to her. I let them rest like that for a few minutes, then I pretended like I had just entered the room.
I said, "Are you two still lying there?"
Bill responded slowly, "Yeah, it's late I better get going."
Bill dressed slowly and left. Marie was now snoring softly, probably partially from the wine and partially from her intense workout. I was extremely hard and as much as I wanted to make love to Marie, I turned out all the lights and carried her gently upstairs. I never loved her more as I held her in my arms on our trip up to the bedroom. I cleaned up the remnants of left over sex and tucked her into bed. I lay down next to her and quickly fell into a deep slumber.
We awoke almost simultaneously the next morning. Marie was smiling at me. Oddly enough, I felt a little uneasy about the previous night. Even though we had done similar things on other occasions, I think this time it bothered me a little because Marie had so thoroughly enjoyed screwing Bill. As I related my feelings to Marie, she simply shook her head. Then she went on to tell me that in fact the sex with Bill had been outstanding, and she was sure she wouldn't forget it soon.
My heart sank a little until she went on to say, "But the best sex I've ever had with anyone else wasn't half as good as the worst sex you and I have ever had."
She may have been exaggerating a little, and I'm not sure I completely believed her but it was what I needed to hear. We vowed our love over and over to each other as we made slow passionate love that morning. As usual, it was wonderful.
Later, when we were eating breakfast, the doorbell rang. I got up to answer it and was a little surprised to see Bill standing there. He was very quiet as I asked him in. He said hello to both of us and then got right to the point.
"I'm a little uneasy about last night. Don't get me wrong, I really, really enjoyed it. I just don't want it to ruin our friendship."
Marie and I both smiled and I said, "Of course we'll still be friends."
"You're sure everything's okay?" he replied.
Marie stood up, gave him a hug, and simply said, "Yes".
After Bill left, Marie turned to me and said, "That was interesting."
"What?" I asked.
She answered, "Well, for someone so unsure about what happened last night, he was sure pushing himself against me when we hugged. And he was far from soft."
We laughed and shared a hug of our own. The rest of our day was spent mostly in each other's arms, very much in love.

It looks like any other home in the richer sections of the Pocono Mountains. It's secluded on a hillside in Milford, Pike County, surrounded by aged maple trees, a swimming pool, tennis and handball courts. It is a $300,000 masterpiece decorated with two white wicker chairs on a stone veranda and a red-and-green Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign that says "Love."
But this home is different in some respects. There is no wooden nameplate or welcome mat with the family name. There is no mailbox proudly boasting the new owner. In fact, Fred Martens, executive director of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission, said the owner probably goes to great pains to remain unknown to his neighbors.

Higuain gives two conditions before joining Chelsea
Gonzalo Higuain is reportedly open to joining Chelsea, but he wants a high salary, as well as a bonus from Juventus.
The striker is expected to leave the Bianconeri after the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Blues appear to be in pole position for his signature.
The Premier League side are about to appoint Maurizio Sarri as their new manager, the man under whom Pipita enjoyed his best season.
According to calciomercato.com, Higuain has made it clear he is open to a move to Stamford Bridge, but that doesn't mean a deal is close.
The Argentine would want a salary of at least €7m net per season, given that he earns €7.5m per year in Turin.
In addition he wants a loyalty bonus from Juve as a kind of golden handshake, otherwise he could simply refuse every offer to leave.

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian finally took a break from the baby craziness last weekend. New reports claim KimYe enjoyed some intimate time together a few days after Chicago West's birth.
According to an E! Online report, Yeezy and Kim linked up Saturday (January 20) night at the rap star's Calabasas, California office to watch a private screening of his upcoming Honor Up moKim looked chic in a pair of wide-legged, snakeskin pants with a matching pair of pointed-toe booties, which she topped off with a highlighter yellow sweater from the Yeezy supply. Kanye, on the other hand, looked casual in a dark grey shirt with a black jacket and black pants. (E! Online)
Over the weekend, Kim captured an epic moment of hubby Kanye West putting in daddy duties work.
Last week, G.O.O.D. Music's Common reacted to KimYe naming their newly born third child Chicago West.
"I love it. That's incredible. First of all, that's my family Kanye and Kim. So for him he deserves to be able to name his child Chicago for as much as he does for our city and as much as he loves our city. And that's a fresh name for a kid. I love it man." (TMZ)
The same week, "Power" star La La Anthony caught some backlash with her reaction to Chi's name.

Eden's Edge Braves the Heat and Sweats for their Fans [VIDEO]
The young members of Eden's Edge have been on a unique journey since winning a contest in 2006 on CMT. Their debut single, "Amen" was only released in April of this year and they say they'll stand the elements if it means pleasing their fans. Right now Edens Edge is touring with Brad Paisley on his "H2O II: Wetter & Wilder Tour" and later in October they'll be touring with Reba McEntire for her "All the Women I Am Tour". After that they'll be with Lady Antebellum on their tour and will stop in Lubbock on December 2. Lead singer, Hannah Blaylock says, "I worry about the people that have been standing out there waiting to get in the gate and then waiting on our stage to start, because our stage is when it's obviously the hottest during the day for the concert." I may be stepping out on a limb here, but really seriously doubt the 100+ temps will be around by the time they get to the hub city. Here's their debut tune.

School's out and summer is upon us: that means beaches and bikinis/swimsuits galore! Blogilates' has got you covered with her 6 Week Body Tone Bootcamp series. I really liked how she explained her process in naming the series–at first, she thought of names like "Bikini Body" or "Summer Body" bootcamp–but she changed her mind because we shouldn't have to fit a certain ideal to feel good about ourselves! We should want to work out because we want to feel stronger and confident in whatever we want to wear. I followed the 6-week series, doing one video (repeating it four times) each week–while also pairing it with PIIT28 and running. (Oh, did I mention that I signed up for the runDisney 5k Summer series? I'll talk about that later in another post!) I love how each video worked different sets of muscles and had that perfect intensity similar to PIIT28 so that I didn't feel out of shape when doing actual PIIT workouts!
What I liked about this series was that its style is similar to PIIT28: 45 seconds per move, with a 15-second rest break in between–7 moves per set, doing four sets total! So if you decide to follow the series, you would do a 28-29 minute workout each week! The lazy girl in me just LOVES that about PIIT (and this Body Toning Bootcamp series) 😀
Also, because each video focuses one area–the burn is REAL. The toughest move for me was during the Elevated Leg Circles in the Legs Focus video:
My booty and legs DIE during this move–I even have to take tiny breaks because everything BURNS so bad, especially during the Left Leg Elevated Circles, since my booty was already working to hold myself up. This one is torture for me, but in a good way of course, haha! Another thing that I like is that Blogilates continues to keep making more challenging videos! I'm never bored or thinking "wow these moves are way too easy!"
In my opinion, my favorite and most challenging video is the Arms Focus video. I feel like my arms are a more neglected area, so it's really nice to find a video that solely focuses on strengthening my arms with moves like Tricep Kick 'n Dips and the dreaded Triple pushup!
Another plus is that this series is apartment-friendly, which means no jumping around to disturb your neighbors below you! But even when there's no jumping I still work up a sweat, especially during the Fat Burn Total Body Focus video!
The series ends with a lovely and really intense 18 minute Stretch and Flexibility Focus video, which leads into splits practice! I'm still working on getting into the splits, so I want to continue going through this video until I get there!
Overall, I highly recommend this series to anyone who wants to try something new with their workout routine! And if you enjoy it and want to challenge yourself even more, try the PIIT28 program! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment 🙂

by Rev. Terry Davis
Delivered at Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation on October 15, 2017
To be profoundly rejected by the people and communities who have been the emotional and spiritual foundation of their lives is a common experience of LGBT persons who risk being authentic about who they are and whom they love.
When Marc and I met for a lunch and he shared his draft of his reflection with me, I was moved to tears. I knew about some of Marc's personal struggles and triumphs from previous conversations, but I had never heard him tell this part of his story. I was reminded then – and again this morning – of how important keeping the faith is to keeping myself feeling whole and connected to the flow of life.
Like Marc, I have found that my times of despair have occurred when I have lost my faith in whatever it is that anchors me in this world and serves as my guiding principle. And, perhaps like Marc, my own journey as a former Catholic, a lesbian woman, and a recovering addict has led me to conclude that keeping the faith means letting go of ideas, behaviors and relationships that keep me imprisoned and unable to claim my strengths and my spirit.
Keeping the faith has meant having the courage to setting out on a life path that was unimagined and a spiritual path that is unconventional with the hopes of finding my true self and my true god.
When I use the word "god," it is my shorthand way of referring to those beliefs, relationships and experiences which serve as my go-to for wisdom, comfort, hope and strength. Over the years, the god of my understanding has changed from my childhood belief in a transcendent supreme being to something today that's harder to describe but easier to recognize.
The love of my spouse Gail, the support of my friends, the acceptance and collective wisdom I find in my 12-step meetings and our Unitarian Universalist non-creedal faith, the sense of renewal I experience when I am direct contact with the natural world – these are a few of my gods . . . my go-tos. These are what anchor me and make it possible for me to feel whole and connected to the flow of life.
The words that Marc clung to during his most difficult moments – "it will get better" – is a prayer that I imagine we all say at times in our lives regardless of who or what our god is. Trusting that things will eventually get better is the part of keeping the faith that can be difficult. Which is why I believe telling stories and keeping memories alive of past trials and triumphs is so important.
Back in May of this year, our Northwest middle school students participated in a Coming of Age class, where they were asked to write their personal credos. They had to describe what they believe in, what gives them hope and what sustains them. The stories they shared with us reminded me that finding one's faith and keeping it is a life-long journey.
James Fowler, an American theologian, scholar, and Methodist minister, wrote a book about this life-long faith journey and our phases of development along the way. It was required reading when I was studying for the ministry. Entitled Stages of Faith, Fowler's book proposed that faith is a six-part developmental process.
I invite you to see if you recognize yourself and your own faith journey on his continuum.
Stage Zero, occurs from the time of birth to age 2 and is characterized by an early learning of the safety of one's environment. Experiences of warmth, safety and security translate into a sense of trust and safety about the universe and the divine, says Fowler, while negative experiences will cause one to develop distrust with the universe and the divine.
Stage 1 occurs from age three to seven. It is characterized by the psyche's unprotected exposure to the Unconscious, and marked by a relative fluidity of thought patterns. At this stage, says Fowler, religion is learned mainly through experiences, stories, images, and the people that one comes in contact with.
Stage 2 occurs mostly in school children. According to Fowler, Stage 2 persons have a strong belief in the justice and reciprocity of the universe, and their deities are almost always anthropomorphic. During this time metaphors and symbolic language are often misunderstood and are taken literally.
Stage 3 shows up in adolescence and continues into adulthood. At this stage people start to have the ability to see things from someone else's perspective. This means that they can also imagine what others think about them and their faith.
People at this stage claim their faith as their own instead of just being what their family does. However, the faith that is claimed is usually still the faith of their family.
Fowler says that issues of religious authority are important to people at this stage. For younger adolescents, that authority still resides mostly with their parents and important adults. For older adolescents and adults in this stage, authority resides with friends and religious community. For all people in this stage, religious authority resides mostly outside of them personally.
Stage 4 usually occurs in persons in their mid-twenties to late thirties. Fowler says that it is a stage of angst and struggle and people in this phase start to question the authority structures of their faith.
This is often the time that someone will leave their religious community if the answers to the questions they are asking are not to their liking.
The individual takes personal responsibility for his or her beliefs and feelings. Greater maturity is gained by rejecting some parts of their faith while affirming other parts. In the end, the person starts to take greater ownership of their own faith journey.
Stage 5, according to Fowler, is one people do not usually arrive to until their early thirties.
Stage 5 is when the struggles and questioning of Stage 4 give way to a more comfortable place. Some answers have been found and the person at this stage is comfortable knowing that all the answers might not be easily found.
In this stage, the strong need for individual self-reflection gives way to a sense of the importance of community in faith development.
People at Stage 5 are also much more open to other people's faith perspectives. This is not because they are moving away from their faith, but because they have a realization that other people's faiths might inform and deepen their own.
Stage 6, the final stage of faith development, is called the "Universalizing" faith, or what others might call "enlightenment."
Fowler describes people at this stage as having a special grace that makes them seem more lucid, simpler, and yet somehow more fully human than the rest of us.
People at this stage can become important religious teachers because they have the ability to relate to anyone at any stage and from any faith. They are able to relate without condescension but, at the same time, are able to challenge the assumptions that those of other stages might have.
People at Stage 6 cherish life but also do not hold on to life too tightly. They put their faith in action, challenging the status quo and working to create justice in the world.
Gandhi and Mother Teresa are cited by some as examples of people who have reached this stage. Stage 6 is thought to be aspirational and rarely achievable in one's lifetime.
I share James Fowler's six stages of faith development with you this morning primarily to underscore the point that keeping the faith does not necessarily mean that our faith remains the same.
Rather, keeping the faith means that we are committed to staying on the journey . . . that, in our darkest moments, we have not given up on finding our gods or go-tos . . . and that we're open to discovering that our ideas about them and what is most important may have changed.
And so, before we leave this morning, I'd like to ask you a few questions about your faith. In the next few minutes, I'd like for each of us to take a stab at our own personal credos as our middle schoolers did this past spring.
I invite you now – if you wish – to turn to your neighbor. Decide who will speak first and who will listen without interruption. And, then I'd like you to take turns answering the following question: What beliefs, ideas or experiences anchor you?
I will let you know when it is time to switch speakers. Let's go! (Switch speakers)
What were some of your answers?
Next question: Has your faith changed? If so, how? Turn to your neighbor and let's repeat the process. (Switch speakers)
What were some of your answers?
When I was a hospital chaplain, one of my favorite colleagues was an Italian Catholic priest, Father Frank Guista. Upon learning that I was of Italian descent, a former Catholic, a lesbian, and a Unitarian Universalist, Fr. Guista became quite curious about my faith journey. We met for lunch on several occasions at a nearby pizzeria, where he would quiz me about my reasons for leaving the church and what Unitarian Universalists believed.
When I offered him my understanding of god that I gave you earlier, I remember him smiling and saying, "Well, I suppose it doesn't matter what you believe about god as long as you have one and your god gives you comfort."
My hope for you and for me is that whatever we each believe anchors and guides us in rough going. And, while our life experiences will shake us up from time to time and may leave us in doubt about who we are and where our lives are headed, may we know that a strong faith can also be a flexible, fluid and changeable faith . . . and that we may, from time to time, uncover a new and more meaningful strain of it.
May we keep the faith in our own way, by doing do, know that we are finding a truth about our life experience that makes experiencing hope, peace and joy possible no matter what.

One of the precepts of the Church is that we must go to confession at least once a year. Once a year is good, that is, if you are going for the bare minimum award. Most priests recommend that souls go to confession at least once a month or once every two weeks. So, what should a person confess when they go to confession? Below I will look at mortal sins, venial sins, and imperfections.
Mortal sins must be confessed (the sooner the better!). "[Mortal sin] results in the loss of charity and the privation of sanctifying grace, that is, of the state of grace. If it is not redeemed by repentance and God's forgiveness, it causes exclusion from Christ's kingdom and eternal death of hell, for our freedom has the power to make choices forever, with no turning back" (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1860). Three things are required for a sin to be mortal: grave matter, full knowledge, and complete consent. For example, if you didn't know that missing Mass on Sunday was a mortal sin then the sin is only venial (but now you know!). Likewise, if you are ill or have no way of getting to Mass or someone refuses to bring you, then you are also free from sin. Sleeping in too late or watching the football game does not count. When it comes to thinking of what to confess, thinking of our mortal sins in the most obvious. But what should we confess if we have not committed any mortal sins since our last confession? We will now look at venial sins and imperfections.
Venial sins: "One commits a venial sin when, in a less serious matter, he does not observe the standard prescribed by the moral law, or when he disobeys the moral law in a grave matter, but without full knowledge or without complete consent" (Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1862). You may remember that venial sins do not need to be confessed. Many things remove the effect of venial sins such as blessing oneself with Holy Water or saying the "Confiteor" (I confess...) at Mass. However, it is always good to mention venial sins in confession in order to gain grace and strength against future temptations. Some examples of venial sins include: spending too much time on the TV/ phone/computer, procrastination, getting angry when someone cuts you off in traffic, dressing somewhat immodestly, etc.
It is also good to mention some general imperfections in order to help the priest make better judgments about the gravity of your sins. Some examples of imperfections include: a lack of punctuality, tendency to gossip, attachments to possessions, complaining, negativity, scrupulosity, impatience, etc. Again, these do not need to be confessed, but may be of assistance to the priest hearing your confession. You can say "I have tendency to…." However, if you are going to mention imperfections, you must also confess a mortal sin or venial sin too.
As Catholics we are required take time and learn our faith and morality. Through this process we naturally become more aware of sin and things that are sinful. Through confession we gain grace to begin overcoming our attachments to sin and other imperfections. Each evening we should review our day and consider where we failed or where we could have done better. We can then bring these things to the confessional where, through the power and mercy of God, our sins are forgiven.
If you have not been to confession in a while or do not know how, do not hesitate to call me or talk to one of the priests or deacons. We would love to walk you through it and explain it in more depth.

New Delhi: As the Indian team has reached Down Under for the limited-overs series, opener Shikhar Dhawan gave a selfie interview, where he not just talked about the hot temperature in Australia but also spoke about the upcoming warm-up matches and the big shots he is preparing to play in the high-profile series.
Dhawan, who has been going through a rough patch with the willow, seemed all geared up for the series, where India are scheduled to play five ODIs followed by three T20Is.
Enjoy one of its kind 'selfie interview' of the southpaw, which he gave a day before Team India's first practice match against Western Australia XI.

Case: Keefe v. Bernard, 2009 W.L. 346738 (Oct. 30, 2009).
Topic: Corporate Attorney/Client & Work Product Privilege
The attorney representing both the doctor and his corporate employer in a medical malpractice action interviewed an orthopedic surgeon also employed by the corporation. The plaintiff sought discovery of a report the defendants' attorney prepared summarizing the interview. The trial court ordered it produced despite the defendants' claim of attorney-client privilege. In an interlocutory appeal, the Iowa Supreme Court addressed the first impression corporate attorney-client issues the case presented. The Court held that communications between an attorney representing a corporation and a corporate employee are only protected by the attorney-client privilege if the discussions cover the employee's actions as they relate to the potential liability of the corporation. Here, the report revealed that the surgeon was interviewed solely as a witness to the events at issue. The Court held such discussions are not attorney-client privileged. However, the Court found that the report was attorney work-product privileged because it showed the attorney's mental processes. Though protected material, the defendant was required to turn the report over to the plaintiffs as a sanction for defendant's failure to notify plaintiffs of the interview as required by Iowa law. In order to protect disclosure of the attorney's opinion work (which the Court noted "is for all practical purposes, immune from discovery") the Court ordered the report redacted to disclose only the facts, information and statements attributable to the surgeon.
BuLITS Points
And Remember
There are two layers to the attorney work product privilege. An opponent might be able to get at relevant non-privileged information embedded in your work with a demonstration of substantial need or undue hardship. But (unless something far worse has occurred) your mental impressions, conclusions, opinions, or legal theories should never face such a disclosure.

Want to use your legal skills to help animals? You're the best.
Here's some background reading.
Don't miss Lesli Bisgould's Animals and the Law (Irwin Law, 2011). It's no secret that I adore Lesli. From the publisher:
There's another collection of essays on a variety of topics worth checking out, Canadian Perspectives on Animals and the Law, edited by Peter Sankoff, Vaughan Black and Katie Sykes.
The most important animal rights decision in Canada, and surely one of the most important in the world, is a dissent from Chief Justice Catherine Fraser of the Alberta Court of Appeal. Check it out and catch a glimpse of the future here. Animal cruelty laws need to be enforced, not only for animals, but as a matter of democracy. And, animals need standing to enforce the protections that are available to them.
The other most important case is R. v. Menard (1978), by Justice Lamer when he was on the Quebec Court of Appeal. There's an epidemic of animal-use industries doing what they want to animals; if there's a veneer of a socially accepted purpose, law enforcement tends to stay away. But in Menard, an animal cruelty conviction was entered for a shelter operator for using a cruel method of euthanasia when a less cruel method was available. This is important: "unnecessary suffering" means that even if the purpose is legitimate, the means can still be scrutinized. The judgment is available here. Unfortunately, we don't see the principles of Menard applying in practice... yet.
The Supreme Court has heard from animal advocates twice: in Harvard College v. Commissioner of Patents (2002) and R. v. D.L.W. (2016).
The animal law movement has been underway in the U.S. for decades. They face significant barriers to even getting in the door, as from what I understand there's no public interest standing equivalent. However, in Canada, we don't have the same barriers. We can and should bring cases before the courts for adjudication. Animal-use industries are getting away with harming animals in ways that appear to directly violate animal protection laws. They're getting away with it because nobody is challenging them.
Want to challenge them? Get in touch with me.
