Data Governance Australia (DGA) launch signals new era in data governance https://t.co/rxYmDdLFuG #corpgov
— Governance Matters (@GovernanceMatt) December 7, 2016
You may have seen a report earlier this month about the establishment of a new independent body tasked with setting industry standards around data.
You may have noted, too, how important a focus is being placed on the new group, with its head none other than the highly respected former chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Graeme Samuel; and the launch being told that "setting industry standards for the use, collection and application of data is something that cannot be avoided much longer".
This is a significant moment for those of us who operate in the governance space as the formation of the new body, Data Governance Australia – or DGA – is overdue recognition that data and its handling is now very much a governance matter.
Formation of Data Governance Aust is overdue recognition that data and its handling is a governance matter https://t.co/rxYmDdLFuG #corpgov
— Governance Matters (@GovernanceMatt) December 7, 2016
It puts an end to any grey areas, to lengthy philosophical debates and perhaps even to nimble skirting around the issue.
DGA will set the framework within which data is to be managed and controlled. End of story.
That's where we come in.
If it's serious enough for a new body to be created at federal level, it is incumbent upon us to get with the new thinking and place data and its many strengths and occasional weaknesses firmly on each and every board's agenda, large corporate and not-for-profit alike.
I'm sure you will all welcome this development and agree that there's much to applaud.
After all, we all know how important data is for businesses and organisations, in terms of innovation and in potentially delivering that much sough-after competitive edge or advantage.
And how important and sensitive a subject it is to consumers seeking assurances that, in an age where cyber-attacks and cyber security are hot button issues, personal data collected is neither misused nor misapplied.
Think only of the recent census conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, where the public was vociferous and strident in voicing its concerns not only about the collection of their personal data but how it would be used…and how long a shelf-life it would have before being destroyed.
So that's what Graeme Samuel and his colleagues at some of the country's biggest corporations and leaders in all things data will be consumed with in coming months.
They will be developing a code of conduct that strengthens our capability in data and cyber security and spells out how we collect, use and apply data, with the key words of integrity, transparency, accountability and credibility deeply engrained in the code's fabric.
They'll be looking to have the code authorised by the ACCC and, in Mr Samuel's words, present something that "meets current community expectations and has sufficient flexibility to adapt to changing community expectations…because data is development and innovation is racing ahead, long ahead of what I think any of us can possibly imagine."
They will advocate for best practice, help shape regulatory framework and provide training courses, accreditation and knowledge sharing.
Then it's over to us, to do our very best to ensure our organisations are characterised by the responsible use of data and its effective management and governance in an ever and rapidly changing digital economy.
Let's embrace it and lead the charge…
Have a great Christmas and I will be back at the start of February with my next blog.
Best wishes,

A Ball Hits a Wall Elastically
Part A = θf = θi
Part B = F = 2mvisin(θf)/(Δt)
Solution Below:
Part A
Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction.
Typically, when one object hits another and bounces off of it, the angle of deflection is the same as the initial angle. You probably know this intuitively based on the behavior of light – if you shine a beam of light at a mirror, it will reflect off the mirror at the same angle with which it hit the mirror. For physical objects, the behavior is the same.
θf = θi
Part B
Express your answer in terms of variables given in the problem introduction and/or vix.
To solve this problem, we need to understand what type of collision we are dealing with. Since the problem tells us the collision is perfectly elastic, we know that the initial and final momentums will have the same magnitude. You might also notice that the y-direction of the ball isn't changing – so we know that there will be no change in the y-component of the force.
We know that F = ma. But how do we get from force to momentum? Well, force is just the change in momentum. Have a look:
F = ma
a = Δv / Δt
F = m * (Δv / Δt)
ρ = mv
If we consider the change in momentum, we end up with:
Δρ = m(Δv)
F = m * (Δv / Δt)
Δρ = m * (Δv)
F = m * Δρ / Δt
Since the ball is simply changing the direction of it's x-movement, the change in momentum is just twice the initial momentum (in the x-direction):
Δρ = 2 * mv * sin(θ)
To get the force, just divide by (Δt):
F = 2mvisin(θf)/(Δt)
F = 2mvisin(θf)/(Δt)
3 Responses to Mastering Physics Solutions: A Ball Hits a Wall Elastically
It should be F= Δρ / Δt not F= m*Δρ / Δt ???
Can you also publish a how-to / actual solution here? Answers only go so far…

In a previous series, Defining Church Planting, we discussed the foundational and theological framework for the tasks of Church Planting in general. Today and in the following series of posts, the goal will be to take this foundation and begin to apply those principles when considering the North American context (US and Canada). Before we examine the mission field in detail, let's first focus on the basics of church planting.
What is "Church Planting?"
"The team process of communicating the gospel, seeing people repent and believe in Jesus, developing as His followers, forming congregations, and repeating the process." – Defining Church Planting
- Team Process
- Communicating the Gospel
- Developing/Discipling/Mentoring
- Gathering/Organizing as a Group of Believers
- Multiplying
At the core of this definition are two primary considerations that drive the entire Church Planting process: The Gospel and People. To this end, one must acknowledge that church planting is not an end unto itself but, rather, a part of God's plan in reaching the lost with the Gospel. Church planting is, therefore, not simply a business process that involves opening a physical location, rather it is a process dedicated to communicating the good news of the Gospel to those who have yet to hear and respond to it. This may seem like an inconsequential nuance, but to the Kingdom-minded, it draws attention to the true calling of reaching People with the Gospel over that of simply creating physical organizations where "church" occurs every Sunday.
Why Plant Churches?
At times, this question can be overlooked. Maybe you have heard the statement, "But nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to plant churches." While that statement is true, one can see that the process outlined above is a natural outflow in response to both the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:35-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). In focusing on the realities of the Gospel, sharing that with the lost, and growing together as a community in Christ, the local church serves as the corporate model to all in attendance and to those impacted by her presence. Some may even question whether church planting in the North American context is a legitimate endeavor. After all, many churches already exist. However, many reasons can be identified to plant new churches in the North American context including the following:
1. Increases Reach and Diversity
2. Allows the Church to Try New Things
3. Provides Opportunities to Grow and Stretch Existing Churches
4. Provides New Evangelistic and Leadership Development Opportunities
So, What's Next?
As we consider the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, we must acknowledge each context and all of the underlying considerations that can be associated therein when determining potential approaches to church planting in a given area. The North American context, though home for many of us, should not be exempt from contextual considerations when determining various approaches, models and methodologies. In the next part of this series, we will begin to take a look at the demographics, needs, and potential approaches to the Mission Field that is North America.

Lens is also a part of camera, so maintain and protect your lens is also an important thing. Today we are going to discuss about the proper cleaning methods to clean your DSLR camera lens. Many people don't know about the cleaning methods, they simply clean the lens or cleaning lotion.So lets go through the good practices that you can adopt to clean your lens.
Good Cleaning Methods & Items Needed
Step 1 : Using Air Blower
First you must remove all the dust particles from your lens, before using the cloth or lotion. Use air blower to blow all dust.
Step 2 : Lens Clean Brush
Then you can use soft lens clean brush to clean all minute particles and make sure there is no particles on the lens top.
Step 3 : Premium Cleaning Fluid
Theses fluids are specially designed for camera lens. Make sure that you are using the lens cleaning fluid with premium quality. Then spray it over the lens.
Step 4 : Premium Grade Lens Tissue
Lens cleaning tissues are very soft and dust lens. So use the cleaning tissue over the lens very gently and smoothly on rotating motion. After that wait for some time to evaporate the fluid completely from the lens.
Step 5 : Cotton Swabs
Use cotton swabs to clean the lens body. Use can gently roll it over and remove dusts.

Customer Reviews
- "A nice, light and easy to use hiking jacket, ideal for light hiking or casual wear."
The Marmot Minimalist Gore-Tex paclite jacket is a good option if you are looking for a GTX jacket for medium level hiking or casual wear for a good price. The design is simple. No different color and various shape parts or seams. It has two normal side pockets and one chest pocket. Not many GTX jackets have pockets like that, most have two big pockets that zip open downwards across the chest which makes them more difficult to access and things inside get in way, I see this as an advantage. On the other hand compare to the extreme GTX jackets, the pockets have normal zips, not YKK so is the main zipper, so do not expect it to be completely water sealed at those parts in the heaviest rains. Pit zips are a good feature on this jacket, really helps ventilation. I had it since November 2013 and used it mostly for MTB biking rather than hiking. When I was going down hill at speeds around 50 km/h when it was dense fog with temperature around 0°C, the kind of conditions that chill you to the bone, I did not feel a thing. So no question about it, it is wind/water proof like a GTX jacket should be. On the other hand I would question its breathability. Of course when you really sweat, you are wet no matter what you wear. But even after normal hikes, just walking slowly it was completely wet from the inside. I do not think that it should hold moisture as much. I guess it is due to the inner protection material which is probably cheep and not that technical and after all it is the older GTX paclite shell, not active shell. Another minus I would say is its shape. It is short and wide and the back part is the same length as the front part. Shape is individual of course, but the back part should be several cm longer than the front for protection around the waist. The biggest plus, or I would even say it is a state of the art is its hood. Simply fantastic! Since it is not designed for a climbing helmet to fit under it (which is very good compare to most other GTX jackets I think) it fits and can be adjusted and tightened on any head. When you turn or move your head in any way it moves with it and never gets into your field of view!!! Even with a bike helmet over it. This is really important. I had other GTX jackets where hoods always fell over my eyes and covered my sight when I turned my head no matter what adjustments I made to it. I have the cobalt blue color, it is really nice, just as shown.
Over all, the Marmot Minimalist Gore-Tex paclite jacket is not perfect, but good value despite the few disadvantages and you really get what you pay for. I would recommended it.
Yes, I would recommend this product.
- "lightweight, does well in rain other than torrential downpours"
Got this for my husband for Christmas and had it delivered to California where we were headed to be with family. Opening it, we saw there was some slight tearing of the internal layer just at the wrist, however we were sort of stuck with it, as we were headed to New Zealand the next day for 3 weeks. My husband called OMCgear customer service and was assured that he could return it if it didn't perform as expected. It rained A TON in New Zealand, and the jacket kept him dry, other than at the end of a long hike when we were at the top, out from under the forest cover, when it started to pour hard for the last 20-30 minutes of the hike! Even then I don't think he got too wet. He's still happy with it and hasn't returned it yet.
Yes, I would recommend this product.
- "Great jacket!"
Purchased this jacket for everyday wear; working in music touring, I encounter lots of varying weather. Only had the chance to wear it once layered over a heavy fleece in zero degree weather in Des Moines, IA. Jacket is completely wind proof and waterproof. I'm 5'7", 150lbs, and the small fits perfectly, even layered over fleece. Definitely recommend!
Yes, I would recommend this product.
- "Waterproof and light weight"
This jacket is great for heavy rain and fits well. I normally wear a small but I have hips so the I got a medium because it is fitted on the bottom where it zips. The medium was great with a fleece or no fleece under it. The one thing I might change is my color choice. I got black and it can get warm in the sun if you use it for mosquito control as well as rain. It does have pit zips though.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

The Sea Serpent of the Sound: Spotted in Pelham Waters in 1877 (Part II)
Home Page of the Historic Pelham Blog.Order a Copy of "Thomas Pell and the Legend of the Pell Treaty Oak."
Seventy years before the UFO craze, there was a "Sea Serpent" craze along the east coast of the United States. As noted in yesterday's Historic Pelham Blog posting entitled "The Sea Serpent of the Sound: Spotted in Pelham Waters in 1877 (Part I)", in July 1877 a sea serpent known as the "Sea Serpent of the Sound" first appeared. The serpent (or serpents, some might say) supposedly returned each year for several years and was even referenced several years later in The New York Times as "Our Perennial Visitor". See Our Perennial Visitor, N.Y. Times, Aug. 1, 1879, p. 4.
In late August 1877, the Sea Serpent of the Sound was seen off the shores of Pelham near City Island. As with most such unusual events, there may well have been a plainly plausible explanation for the sighting. Today's Blog posting will detail that explanation.
Readers of the daily Historic Pelham Blog will recall that yesterday, I related an account published in the September 2, 1877 issue of The New York Times saying that a steamship from Bridgeport passed near the Execution Lighthouse northeast of City Island and supposedly struck the beast while it lay asleep on the water. According to the account, the collision "caused the boat to tremble from stem to stern" and a "black object rose angrily to the height of the flagstaff with a hissing sound, and water was dashed upon the deck." The Sound Sea-Serpent, N.Y. Times, Sep. 2, 1877, p. 7.
What could possibly serve as a plausible explanation for a "black object" rising "angrily" from the water to the height of a flagstaff on the ship while making a hissing sound? Less than two weeks after the account appeared in the newspaper, a wise old Captain from Darien, Connecticut named E. E. Tooker offered just such an explanation. The Times published it on September 14, 1877. It read:
The Norwalk (Conn.) Hour says: 'On the night of the 21st of July, the schooner Mary of Dennysville, Me., Capt. Holloway, was run into and sunk by the steamer Elanore, of Providence, off Lloyd's Neck, Long Island Sound. The only person saved from the wreck was a lad named Preston. Capt. E. E. Tooker, of Darien, for several weeks has been actively engaged in stripping the hull by the aid of divers. The divers found the body of a man who proved to be Charles A. Loughton, of West Pembroke, Washington County, Me. The bodies of the Captain, mate, and sailors have not yet been recovered; they are doubtless in the cabin of the vessel. And now, as regards this sea-serpent business: During the past week or two we have been amused by reading accounts of a monster serpent being struck by a steamer off the Norwalk Islands; how the vessel trembled at the shock, and how the huge form was seen rising several feet above the water. The mystery is explained this way: When Capt. Tooker found the sunken vessel, all the spars were standing, the top of the mainmast being only about two feet under water at low tide. One morning when the diver descended to resume his work, he found that the mast had been struck by some passing vessel. A sheet of copper was picked up on the deck that had been torn from the bottom of some steamer or sailing vessel. As the wreck is exactly in the line of the Sound steamers, it was, without doubt, the cause of the recent scare."
Source: The Sea-Serpent In The Sound, N.Y. Times, Sep. 14, 1877, p. 3.
A plausible explanation, indeed, although news reports indicate countless sightings of the Sea Serpent of the Sound in many different places throughout the Sound for the next several years . . . . . . . .
Tomorrow: a plausible explanation for other sightings of the Sea Serpent of the Sound in the 1870s?

Brown's Bill to Improve the Way Issues are Handled Within Planned Communities Passes House
– In continuing her legislative efforts to improve the way investigations and mediation complaints are handled in residential communities across the Commonwealth, the House this week unanimously passed Rep. Rosemary Brown's (R-Monroe/Pike)
House Bill 595
. This bill would assign additional powers to the Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection in regard to how Home Owner Association (HOA) complaints are handled.
"Because I understand the importance of this issue, I am very pleased that this bill passed the House, and am hopeful it gets approved in the Senate," Brown said. "My staff and I receive many calls from frustrated residents, and often the only way to get serious issues solved is by entering into potentially costly lawsuits. There needs to be a way to mediate and investigate serious violations, and because the Bureau of Consumer Protection already handles similar complaints, it makes sense for this set of issues to be added to its purview."
On April 8, Brown also hosted an educational seminar at the Middle Smithfield Township Building for HOA board members and their residents to increase education about how to develop stronger methods of conflict management. Nearly 100 residents attended this seminar.
Communities formed under Title 68 are operated under a set of governing bylaws, which create micro-governments. When occasional disagreements or incidences of fraud occur in these communities, residents and unit owner boards feel they have nowhere to turn for assistance in resolving complaints.
Title 68 already allows for complaints regarding financial documents to be filed with the Bureau of Consumer Protection; however, it does not assist with other serious complaints that may be a violation of other portions of Title 68. Examples include meetings, quorums, voting/proxies and other association records. Nearly one quarter of Pennsylvania residents live in some type of self-governing community.
Brown sponsored similar legislation,
House Bill 1774
, in the 2015-16 legislative session. During that time, it was approved by the House and passed the Senate Urban Affairs Committee. It was not voted on by the full Senate. This is a priority for Brown, who strongly believes this will make community living more harmonious and better protected.
For more information about House Bill 595, or any state-related issue, contact Brown's district office in East Stroudsburg located at 143 Seven Bridge Road, by calling 570-420-8301. Information can also be found on online at

The most recent mountain she climbed wasn't for her, but she dared herself anyways. She wanted to see what kind of a mountain it would be and what she had to gain from the experience. From the first step, she was so cautious yet so careless, almost reckless. It wasn't planned, it's wasn't thought of, the decision was a mere act of spontaneity. See, she climbs mountains, it's all she does through life. There's always one after another. But with each, she always has a purpose & she's always known they're worth climbing, but not this particular one. The more she climbed, the more she tried to find a reason/s of why she was doing so. She wanted to have a purpose and meaning out of the climb.
Well, as you guessed, you can't go hiking unprepared, let alone mountain climbing. She is always careful in what she does, especially if it involves utilizing her energy & time. Well, this mountain climbing was a mixture of a thrilling experience, filled with deadly fear, anxiety, worry, desire to see, feel & experience pleasure of getting to the peak and yes, it was filled suspense. But what for?
Nonetheless, she didn't stop even when she knew she needed to. She kept daring herself, and every time she looked up, she didn't see anything but rocks ahead and high above her. She knew this energy she was investing in this deserved to be poured on something more purposeful than this specific mountain, but she's a darer, she convinced herself by whispering to her soul every worrying minute "one more meter, a little higher". And so she kept going.
But there was unexpected stumbling blocks on her way, they were unseen…but deep down, it's because she had chosen to go blind selectively; she had choosen to not get warned by what was right before her eyes. Eventually, she stumbled, and almost fell. But no, she didn't hit the ground, see, she caught herself in the act of falling. She has always known how to catch herself & to keep herself in check before she falls. Trust me, she falls several times before getting to the peak of her other mountains, and whether she breaks or not, the pieces always come back together and she gets back up. On this particular mountain, she had defied the voice that cautioned her within; that this mountain wasn't worthy of the time, energy, or effort, its like she was high on life, and so She convinced herself otherwise.
She has a fear of mediocrity and she'd rather not take the expected traditional path that's set for her with others footprints to follow.
Here is the significance of climbing this particular mountain she took on; the one she didn't need to. She learned not everything should or can actually have a planned path, with expectations in the end. Sometimes it's the discoveries during the climb that are exciting. Life has to be let be for it to be. She also learned something even more important, that living is not an assignments for the coward. While she takes on mountains and overestimate herself, most are cowards at taking any on mountains. They're afraid of the unknown, and hide behind self-made curtains, afraid and letting thoughts like, "what if I get hurt" or " what if I get hurt again?" take over. They are the takers of life. They're not givers to others neither to selves. They selfishly deny themselves life and are terrified of giving themselves challenges. See, instead of getting in the ocean and let themselves swim in the waves, they sit so safe in the harbor, so delicate, fragile, & deliberately taking on only the mountains they know the end or the view at the peak.
Well, for her, she falls & let's herself feel the pain. It then subsidies. She knows it just gives her more strength and immunity to handle even the most terrifying mountains.
She's had her moments of failure, the worst of all being self failure. But without falling, she'd not have known she had the strength to get up. She couldn't have learned the art of catching herself before she hits the ground and breaking. So, here, ….climb your mountains and do so courageously. You' may or may not break, but you'll not remain broken. No one stays broken if they choose to not remain so. Mix the pain & pleasure and soar in to your world. Dare yourself to live!
Caroline Shii.

Good Morning: It's Saturday again...
Accuracy in Forecasting -- Is What it is All About:
This all dates back to over 50 years of my work / analytics of Raw Data Interpretation and Inflection Points.
I have written a large number of articles on my Methodology which is based on the early and clear Forecasting and Identification of all Inflection Points. I know of no other source of information and data that provides LEADING guidance with this consistent accuracy.
All my articles are based on "My Methodology" - You might consider spending some time reviewing the following URL: http://www.safehaven.com/article/27312/my-methodology
The Market for the Past Week
It was a good week again if you are Bullish. I remain Bearish and I / We (Clients) are definitely "Bearish." The Bounce / Mini-Rally I have Forecast is clearly in place. (Please see my Inflection Point Count on StockCharts Public List - see below for the URLs). Remember, there is only one thing that can DELAY an Accurate Forecast -- That is - NEWS.
I hope you are beginning to believe that I am producing Very Accurate Forecasts. Accurate Forecasts lead to Results and Results are Profiting in the Stock Market. Bullish or Bearish, I hope you like what I am sharing.
Seemingly, as always, we have had plenty of that "NEWS" for several weeks and this past Week was and will continue to be focused on the Fiscal Cliff. A Democracy promotes -- Gridlock - and - Pork Barrel Politics -- that is what the American Democracy is all about. The problem in the U.S. and Globally is that - these two characteristics have been carried far beyond any form of reason. Honesty and Ethics have been lost along the way and will never be recovered again.
So we ALSO have, (perhaps a better description is "BS" and that is a FACT! Billions will also be spent on (pork barrel politics) satisfying both Republicans and Democrats in order to -- Attempt to Do What is Right for the PEOPLE! Winston Churchill once said: "Given enough Attempts the U.S. always gets it Right." This "ATTEMPT" is going to be just one more Blundering Failure.
So, now - HYPE & BS - will be the focus and that (OFTEN DISTORTED) picture should last awhile. May be Forever?
Apple, Inc. was the stock highlight but the "light" was not very bright. It was off almost 9% for the week. It is following my Forecast - check it out.
The Nasdaq was therefore Down while the New York were up modestly.
Regarding the "Fiscal Cliff" now they are saying that failure to do something will cause a U.S. Recession. I just laugh at the stupidity of policy makers at releasing "News." I have said for weeks, "We Are In A Recession" and now the trickle of admission begins.
Consumer Sentiment fell badly - and the Public keep electing supposed leaders who just kick the can down the road. That is true for decades.
My Forecast - "Bounce / Mini-Rally" is doing it's thing.
Here is what I have said for weeks about the Recession: the U.S. is in an (unannounced) Recession, that and much more will be "announced" AFTER the Election. I believe you will find that -- nine European Countries are IN Formal / Announced Recession. The U.S. and some Asian Countries are also in peril.
More on that tomorrow - exclusively in my Sunday (morning) "Client Weekly ("Detailed") Forecast - Update."
The "Fiscal Cliff(s)" will also not soon go away...
This Article is Well Worth Your Reading: http://pragcap.com/3-bearish-signs-in-a-sea-of-negativity
For the week, the Dow and the Nasdaq were Up - just a TINY - BIT. Hum!
My Fundamental - Valuation Work / Forecast of -- Not such good Earnings was again endorsed and magnified this past week.
Europe and Asia are not doing any better.
Not a pretty picture for the foreseeable future...
My Inflection Point (I.P.) Count and Now - More
It closed the week at an anemic 54. So far in this "Bounce / Mini-Rally" it is likely telling us that my Forecast for a Pull-Back is coming sooner rather than later. Apple, Inc. has been telling this story for a few months now. Remember "News" can change that picture and often does! I continue to be impressed with the "Accuracy" and "Sensitivity" of My Proprietary Indicator. I am now adding a second Market Indicator. Check it out.
I have just written another fancy program that goes even further into the "guts and bones" of my I. P. Count Indicator. It caught the rally two days before it happened and this newest program gave over one week notice. http://stockcharts.com/public/1616666

Thanks for your support for my "stuff" - its growing...
Repeating: I continue to find little to nothing to de-rail my position that the U.S. is already in an (unannounced) Recession -- and -- that a "Confirmed" Bearish Inflection Point is well over due.
My Forecast - Bounce / Mini-Rally has now materialized and will likely get a bit scary for the Bears before it is over. I understand that MANY of you do NOT agree, but I stopped reading and listening to other peoples opinions (OPO) over 40 years ago. If you disagree, you might do the same.
My "Stuff" / Methodology works very well for both Me and My Clients over those years -- without OPOs.
* The Stock Market - (Indices) was Up - NY & Down - Nasdaq this past Week as Forecast!
* The Stock Market - (Breadth) was Up this past Week as Forecast!
* The Stock Market - (Insiders) was Up this past Week as Forecast!
* The Stock Market - (High Yield Bonds) was Up this past Week as Forecast!
Weekly Conclusion: They (the above) are currently - In Sync. And they all have Deteriorating Technical Indicators. Understand that: There is an important difference with each of these Market Indicators... I know of no Financial Analyst that has an Accurate Handle on - these four important and key Market Indicators. My Forecast for a Bounce / Mini-Rally is still in force.
Note: My Forecast for the General Market (Indices / Breadth / Insider / Bond Yield) is Bearish, but REQUIRES "Confirmations" to be active. Until my "Confirmations" are in place (Kick-In) I cannot take further Bearish Positions.
Treasuries were Down slightly for the week. A Pull Back is in the making. Investing in Treasuries that have been moving sideways since September 2011 is not a good way to Invest Your Money! Warnings were offered then and now!
The U.S. Dollar was UP a bit - but seem to be leading Treasuries for several months. My Forecast Rally now looks like it is Topping or has Topped.
Oil (Crude) was Dow over 3% again. Last Week I said: "A Mini-Rally is in force, however I would expect a pull back to begin again rather soon." Well, that has now happened.
Gold was Down a bit. I said last week that the little Rally will likely fail. It's in the Process. Remember the Highs were way back in August 2011 at $1925. The current price of $1750 is a long ways from getting excited again. The Gold Bugs are always excited and seldom have much to support their excitement from what I read -- they too are just doing their thing! And that is most usually the Wrong Thing.

Diane Simone from Blackpool Care & Repair is named a Heat Hero!
Diane Simone, caseworker at Blackpool Care & Repair, was named a Heat Hero at a special awards ceremony at the Houses of Parliament this week.
The Heat Heroes Awards are open to individuals across England and Wales, and celebrate those who go above and beyond to get the recognition they deserve – for helping people in their community live in warmer homes.
Held in partnership between ScottishPower and the charity National Energy Action, this year there were some very strong candidates, but the judges managed to select fifteen worthy winners.
Not-for-profit organisations including local authorities, health and social care agencies, voluntary and statutory agencies and community groups were encouraged to nominate staff and volunteers for the award.
Maria Wardrobe, Director of Communications and External Relations at National Energy Action commented: "Each year I am bowled over by the passion and tenacity that our Heat Heroes demonstrate, always going above and beyond what is expected of them in their job or as unpaid volunteers. It was a delight to meet them and be able to say well done and thank you on behalf of those they help."
Gillian Noble, Sales Director at ScottishPower said "ScottishPower is delighted to be sponsoring the Heat Heroes Awards for the sixth year. The hard work and commitment shown by these dedicated people within their communities is crucially important in helping to tackle fuel poverty. On behalf of ScottishPower I'd like to congratulate all the nominees and winners."
The winners were shining examples to others in their communities; Roy McNally, Foundations' Development Manager for the North of England said: "Dianne has been a tenacious caseworker who always seems to go the extra mile to deliver solutions to our most vulnerable citizens. Dianne is one of the best users of our FILT funds and is somebody we can rely on to deliver critical interventions quickly and efficiently."

Sacramento has a new homeless shelter, at least through the end of this winter.
Leo McFarland is President of Volunteers of America. He says as many as 25 people per night will be bussed from Loaves and Fishes in north Sacramento to the Stanford Settlement neighborhood center off of El Camino.
"These folks are in real bad shape, real bad shape: elderly, disabled, wet, sickly, so this shelter has been a real God-send for them," says McFarland.
Sister Jeanne Felion runs Stanford Settlement which has served as a respite center for people and family from the northern part of the county. But, she had never opened her doors to the homeless, until Wednesday night.
"The weather has been so severe, and, in talking with some of our locally-elected officials, it just seemed like the right time to open up one of our buildings that we don't use day in and day out," says Felion.
Volunteers of America is overseeing the new shelter.
The Association of Realtors contributed $50,000 to the effort. The city and county contributed $25,000 each, while United Public Employees contributed $10,000.

One of my pet peeves about mobile games is the fact that too often they try to cram gamepad or keyboard/mouse controls into a form factor and control scheme that it doesn't work for. Leave it to gaming comedy troupe Rocket Jump to bring that to its natural conclusion with the short Mobile Squad.
Rocket Jump has tackled the various quirks of games for years: You might remember their send-up of Link's tendency towards property damage, for example. But this is particular is pretty cutting, because the crew is dead right; every bad Counter-Strike knockoff for phones plays more or less exactly like this:
As mobile games grow up and realize that touchscreens need new and different games, this will hopefully become less relevant: Rocket Jump actually made this on the request of MOGA to make a point about controls.
But, hey, until devs get the point, that's what YouTube is for. That and finding that last #$%&ing data pack in Batman: Arkham Origins.

As she previewed in her first blog, which can be read here, she will be sneaking into dressing rooms, discussing what the fans are saying about storylines and will even give her Flip video camera (which she is still learning to use) to her castmates to get their point of view. The actress has also promised to respond to fans' feedback.
Sounds like a great opportunity to get to know Jennifer and her co-stars a little bit better!

On Monday night we picked the first of our courgettes to add to the lasagne I was making for dinner.
David (8) was very keen to help me pick them. He doesn't normally eat courgettes but he ate up all of these ones, saying that they tasted much nicer than the ones we usually have from the shops!
I was planning to hold out until the end of this month before testing our potatoes, as that will be the full 12 weeks since they were planted. But last night my husband asked if he could bring someone home for dinner just as he was leaving work. I didn't think there were enough of our shop bought potatoes in to feed one more mouth but rather used it as a good excuse to try out some of our own ones.
I had another little helper with me when I was digging them up, although he was more interested in tipping them up again, and he did get himself a bit muddy in the process!
I only dug up one plant as I'm going to leave the rest like I had planned, but they were super tasty.
And of course we had another couple of courgettes with our dinner too - which was salmon, if you are wondering!
Having had such success with a few little boxes of veg, I'm now looking out at the garden wondering how much more of the boys' football playing area I can take over for a few more boxes next year!
Although, what I really need to grow enough potatoes to feed these boys is a whole croft!

AU: Takes place about a year after season one, but completely bypasses the original season two so no spoilers for that are here
Summary: Brian has a dark secret he shares with only Justin and is surprised at the reaction of him.
Warnings: Yes, rape, abuse and suicide (no major character death)
Author's notes: As a victim of rape and abuse myself I thought it would be a good idea to write about it from Brian's point of view and maybe help other people in this situation know that there is a way out of the pain and suffering it causes, by simply telling someone and getting help. It won't be easy reading in most parts, so please don't read if you are easily hurt, thank you.
Posted in full,I should have posted it this way to begin with
Chapter One
Brian knew the moment he set eyes on Justin Taylor beneath the street lamp on Liberty Avenue a year ago, that he was the man that would change his life and make him see things in a different light.
The brunette had kept a dark secret from everyone in his life that mattered from the age of fourteen upwards, and only started thinking about it again when he met Justin and saw how brave he was about standing up for himself in all if not most, situations.
Something he himself was never able to do at that age and still isn't at almost 30,at least that's what's he thinks.
For the last few months Brian has been seeing a Therapist dealing with the abuse and rapes he was a victim of from he was aged nine years old until he was seventeen.
"Good afternoon Mr Kinney, how are you today"? Asked Dr Harris
"I am nervous as fuck doc, I can't believe I came here and have to deal with all this shit again, I think I am going to go crazy"! Replied Brian as he stretched himself out across the sofa he always made his when he entered the room.
"Perfectly normal Mr Kinney, especially at this stage in your treatment.
I know we have only discussed a small amount of what has happened to you, you said that you were abused by a cousin of yours from you were nine years old until you were seventeen, are you ready to go into detail about this yet"? The doctor asked as he went through Brian's file.
Brian was fingering his jumper and didn't really know what to say back at this because he had never spoke out loud about any of this to anyone, not even Michael, his best friend since high school.
"Why don't you lie straight back across the sofa with your feet up and close your eyes, most people find that when they do that, words just flow from them very easily.
In your own time Mr Kinney"
The brunette lay across the sofa as he was instructed and closed his eyes and his mind went back to the very first incident when he was nine years old at his aunt's house.
"I remember it was very windy the first time it happened and raining heavy as well.
Chapter Two
Everyone had gone to bed and I was sharing a room with my youngest cousin Connor, he was asleep.
I heard the door of the bedroom open and saw my eldest cousin coming into the room, and he got in bed beside me.
He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight telling me he was very cold and couldn't get warmed up in his bedroom at all because it was freezing in there.
I told him I was cold too and he said we should keep each other warm.
We talked for a little while about things that happened that day and I noticed his hand had moved from my hip to the front of my pyjama bottoms and he began squeezing me there, it hurt me so I asked him to stop and he did.
We spoke a little bit more about things and then he told me to turn around and face him, so I did.
He took my hands in his and held it for a while, telling me how beautiful I was and how special I was and I remember I felt happy about hearing those words".
Brian began to cry as he said the next part
"He took out his dick and he told me to touch it with both my hands and when I did he called me a good boy and he moved my hands up and down on it, then we heard a noise coming from the bathroom and very quickly he got out of the bed and fixed himself back into his pants and left the room without saying anything to me, I wondered what I did wrong."
Dr Harris handed Brian some tissues and said "Its ok to cry Mr Kinney, You are so brave to say all of this out loud, most people go through their lives keeping what has happened to themselves and never telling anyone or getting help because they blame themselves instead of the person who was responsible for putting them into that position in the first place, do you need a time out Mr Kinney"?
"No" Replied Brain as he lay back down and closed his eyes "I wanna say more, I wanna get it all of my chest today and be done with it".
"Ok, continue when you are ready," said Dr Harris as he sat back into his leather chair and observed Brian as he took his next step into recovery.
"I guess the reason that last one sticks put in my head so much is probably because that was the first time anything happened, the rest are just bits and pieces and I have no idea about weather or who the fuck went to the bathroom or anything more specific than the event itself, so just bare with me if you can.
An earlier event as well was we were all in bed, my sister and I in single beds and my cousin in the spare at the other side of the room, the room wasn't very big but it was big enough to hold three single beds and a dresser.
He got into the bed and lay behind me telling me what he always did, im special, beautiful yadda yadda and I believed him, it was not long after that his mom said that they were moving to England to live and I remember feeling happy but not knowing why.
Chapter Three
It didn't really matter, I already knew I hated him touching me and I hated touching him too, I didn't know what we were doing was wrong, but I knew I hated it.
They lived in England for about a year and then one evening at the dinner table my mom said that they were moving back over to this country and would be moving in with us until they could get a place of their own, about a week before they moved over I had a very itchy head and my mom checked it and told me it was red raw, so she took me to the doctor, he examined it and told my mom it was psoriasis and I must be stressed about something because that's what causes it, I remember when we got home that day my mom said "And what could a stupid boy of your age have to be stressed about, its not worrying about paying the fucking bills anyway" I think it was round about this time I started to really hate my mother, but that's another story.
My aunt and her five sons moved into our home and just took it over, they were noisy and very horrible to be around and after a while my cousin started getting into my bed beside me again and the touching started all over again too, but this time he would rub himself against my ass until his breathing sounded heavy and my neck became wet."
"Mr Kinney, im afraid we are going to have to finish it there for today, you were so great to have gotten all of that out into the open today, how would you feel about writing it all out on paper and anything else you remember"?
Getting up from the sofa, Brian stretched and said "Yea, I will see what I can do, when's the next appointment doc?
Dr Harris looked in his filofax and said How does this day week sound, or you can just give me a call when you have wrote everything out, no rush at all Mr Kinney, when you feel ready, I am always going to be here,"
"Thanks doc, and one more thing, stop with the whole "Mr Kinney shit, that's what people refer to my old man as, its Brian" said the tall man as he put on his coat smiling at the thought of even being compared to his old man who he had as much time for as lifting up litter from the streets as.
"Very well Brian, we will see you when we see you then".
That evening Brian went to the diner and hung out with Michael and the boy's, had some dinner and let Justin suck him off in the men's room.
"Want me to stop by the loft after my shift Brian"? Asked Justin as he wiped his mouth with some tissues
"Not tonight sunshine, I am washing my hair" replied Brian as he tucked himself away "I'll call you tomorrow" he said to the the blond and kissed his cheek before exiting the bathroom and diner and heading back to the loft to do his task and spend time with his best friend "Beam" for the night.
Chapter Four
Brian switched off his mobile phone, landline phone, locked his front door and put on some soft music to get his mind relaxed and make himself feel like he was back in the warm office of his therapist so he could do what he had to…write everything that happened to him at the hands of his cousin for eight years.
Taking a bottle of Jim Beam from the fridge, a glass from the cupboard and shutting off all the lights, Brian took a notebook and bed from the bedside locker and lay across the bed and started writing about his child hood.
Brain Kinney September 2002
My horrible shitty past
Since I never did this before im not even sure what the fuck im doing but im going to give it my best shot anyway…here goes nothing.
It all started when I was nine, my cousin got into bed with me on a wet windy night…fuck that sounds so cliché, anyway he touched my dick and made me touch his and I just wanted him to go away, which he finally did when we heard someone going to use the bathroom. This happened until his family moved to England to live for about a year…until they came back and moved in with us until they could get a place of their own, but this time things changed when he got in bed beside me.
He would rub himself against my ass until his breathing got heavier and the back of my neck was wet, he still continued to touch my dick, so that didn't change.
I am nearly sure it was a good year that they lived with us and every night the same thing would happen, but one night he put his dick into my hole and he told me not to cry when I did, but I couldn't stop crying because it felt like he was putting a knife up there, so he stopped doing it after a few moments and went to his own bed.
When they moved out of our home into the house next door I was so happy he was going so he would stop doing those things to me and stop getting me to do things to him too.
One day not long after they had moved, I was watching a video called Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swazey, when he came into the sitting room, we were alone in the house this day and it will stay in my head until my dieing day.
He said he heard I got my bedroom painted from they lived with us and asked me if he could see it, I said ok and took him up to my room and as soon as we got into my room he asked if my bed was new and I told him it was.
He went over and sat on it and I asked him if we could go back down stairs again, he said in a minute and told me to sit next to him because he liked it in my room, fuck, I wish I new better than to sit next to him because when I did he pushed me down on the bed and started kissing my lips really hard and I tried pushing him away but he was too strong for me and I couldn't.
Chapter Five
He ran his hand up my bare leg and griped onto my dick telling me I was the most beautiful boy he had ever seen in his whole life and that he wanted more than anything to make love to me, and the next thing I knew, he turned me onto my stomach and pulled down my boxers and I felt that stabbing again when he pushed his dick inside my hole again, I will never forget the pain of it and this time he didn't stop after just a few moments, this time he kept doing it until he came.
I know he came because after he did he told me that the white stuff on my bed was called come.
When he left I lay on my bed and cried for ages feeling really dirty and like I had done something very bad, when I felt something was wet on my ass I went into the bathroom and wiped a tissue inside and saw there was blood on it, a lot of blood and the pain I felt when he was inside me was still with me then, even though it had happened about an hour before that, so I thought that I could get the bleeding to stop by stuffing some tissue in it for a while, it did stop the bleeding but for days after, the pain still stayed.
I felt so ashamed of myself and so bad in a way I never felt before, I was eleven years old at the time.
Not long after that when I went into his house to visit my aunt because I thought he was away at his friend's house, I went to use the toilet and he was coming out of the bathroom as I was going in.
After I had finished he was standing outside the door, he told me he had gotten a signed pic of Patrick Swayze that he won, and asked me if I wanted it, he didn't have to ask me ask twice, so we went down to his room to get it, and then he locked the door.
When I realised he had locked his bedroom door I asked him to open it and let me out, I even begged him, but he said no.
He walked over to me and started stroking my cheek, telling me how special and beautiful I was but I crouched in behind his bed and told him he wasn't going to put his dick into my ass again because it was very painful for me, to which he said he wouldn't do that and didn't even know why he did it because he knew it hurt me and he told me he was sorry for hurting me and promised not to do it again, I believed him and came out from behind his bed.
I asked him if I could have the pic and he got it out of his bedside locker and gave it to me.
Then he pushed me up against the wall and said, since I am giving that to you, why don't you give me something in return, I didn't know what he wanted but the next thing I knew he took his dick out from his pants and told me lick it like it was an ice lolly I love so much of late, all I could think of was I really wanted that signed pic to give to Michael.
Chapter Six
So I got down on my knees and licked it for a long time until he told me he wanted me to put it all into his mouth like a hot dog and suck on it, then I started choking a lot as it went down my throat and I kept thinking I was going to vomit.
I was twelve years old when this happened
When I went home that day I started to think about the only way to get any of what was happening to stop…was to kill myself, so I brought the kitchen knife into my bedroom and started cutting my left arm until it bled, that's when my dad came into my bedroom saying "sonny boy, didn't you hear your mother shouting you for your tea" saw the blood on the bed, and my arm and kicked the shit out of me for trying to seek attention when they were having a financial crisis and had to deal with that rather than a pathetic boy who has nothing better to do than cause them both to drink, I fucking hated my father from that day on, he only had himself and my fucking mother to blame for the financial crisis they were having, because they spent it all on booze and Claire and the fucking money box that priests send around the chapel at mass on Sundays.
Brian decided to get up and stretch his legs at this point and walked around the loft looking at how far he came in his life.
His own loft, top of the line appliances, Italian furniture, his own personally made alter…otherwise known as…his bed, a son that he loved more than life itself and a lover to match…he was very happy at how his life was given all the shit he kept to himself about his past.
He promised himself that seeing as Justin was the one that got him to admit to himself (unknowingly) that he needed to get help with his demons before he could make any real decisions about a future…that the moment he was done writing down what he had to before his next session…Justin could read it and know about that part of his life, the part he was too ashamed to tell anyone for fear of not being believed or being judged.
Positioning himself back on his alter with a fresh glass of Beam…Brian continued writing in his notebook.
One night I was in my room watching the other kids in the neighbourhood having snow ball fights, I was out earlier but had to come in before mom dad and Princess Claire went to a friend of dads house for the evening.
I remember wishing I didn't have to be by myself when my bedroom door opened and in walked my cousin (be careful what you fucking wish for, right), I hadn't seen him since that day he gave me the pic and made me give him the…blowjob in return.
I asked him what did he want to which he replied, I want to keep you company, suddenly I felt sick.
Chapter seven
He walked up to me until he was standing directly behind me and asked what was I watching that was holding my interest, I told him I was watching a snow ball fight between the boys on our block.
Then he began rubbing my shoulders and right away I knew what was coming, so I figured there's nothing I can do to stop it, mom and dad wouldn't believe me if I told them or even care so I might as well just do what ever he wants and get it over with, then he will go home and leave me alone…for a while at least.
He pulled me around so I was facing him and he said my name, I was really beginning to hate my name, especially the way he was saying it anyway, so I spared him vocal cords and simply said…just tell me what you want me to do, when he took out his dick I knew he wanted me to suck him off again, So I did.
When he left, I went to the bathroom and showered until my skin was raw, screaming and punching the cheap tiles that surrounded the shower walls, and then I dropped to my knees until I had cried so hard it felt like everything had left me, including my sanity.
When I went to bed that night, I prayed to the god my mother believes in, telling him I couldn't take it anymore, I didn't want to see my cousin again for as long as I live, but the next day he was in my house when I got up from bed with his mother, in my fucking kitchen…laughing, that's when I believed there was no god, how could there be when me, a fourteen year old boy who never asked a thing of him in my life, asked this one thing and was refused it.
It was not long after that I asked big old Jack if I could have five dollars to participate in a course the school was doing, he gave me the worst kicking of my life, from the sitting room all the way up the stairs to my bedroom, I was covered in blood and my eyes had swollen up so bad that my face looked completely unrecognisable for nearly three weeks.
I hid myself away in my room and kept the door locked, not even opening it until everyone was in bed or had left the house, the night after the beating my pa shouted up to me after he had went down stairs again "sonny boy, I warned your mother before you were born that she have gotten an abortion the second she found out that you were a foetus, I told her you were a spawn of Satan himself and would cause us nothing but bother, then he laughed and said, looks like I wasn't wrong huh.
Brian lit a cigarette and inhaled the smoke deeply, then he said out loud…"but I did amount to something, you sucking sack of shit, and I will never treat my son or Justin the way you treated me or mom, do you fucking hear Jack" he yelled as he looked up at the roof "Fucking burn in hell and meet saint fucking Joan at the gates"!
Brian began to cry violently into the pillow for a long time, he knew that if he was to continue with the writing he would need a time out so he picked up the phone on top of his bedside locker and switched it back to on.
Chapter eight
"Hi, how's my blue eyed blond boy tonight"? Asked Brian with sarcasm that often set itself out plainly before Justin that he could sense something was bothering Brian.
"Umm, let me guess, you ran out of your fave conditioner and want me to pick you up some and bring it over, am I right"? He replied with a tone that told Brian he was alone at his and Daphne's apartment and was in bed touching himself and probably thinking of him doing it.
"No smart ass, I want you to distract my mind from some shit I don't want to think about, can we play a game"? He asked as he put the notebook and pen onto the floor and got undressed, leaving on his underwear.
"Ok, I can play your game, as long as it's hot" Justin said in a hoarse voice
"I promise you it's going to be hot," replied Brian, "What are you wearing"? He asked the blond as he rubbed his hand from his chin to his cock
"Im wearing my boxers, do you want me to take them off"?
"No" replied Brian, "Not yet, I want you to rub you nipples and get them hard, imagine it's me getting them hard for you by sucking the them, and pinch them too"
Brian began doing the same thing to himself that he was telling Justin to do and he continued to speak on
"Move both your hands all the way down to your cock and take it out and stroke it really slowly for me" Brian said as he himself did the same.
At this point both he and Justin began to pant softly
"Briiian" purred Justin
"That's it, say my name again sunshine, say it a lot, say it the way you know how I love hearing you say it when I am inside you" Brian said as he speeded up the stroking.
"Briiian" said Justin as he too speeded up his stroking "Fuck me harder Brian, please I need you so much, fuck me Brian, harder, faster Brian faster Brian, Brian, Brain, Brian, Brian aaaahhhhhhh fuck, he said shooting his load all over his stomach, while Brian shot his load over his stomach at the same time.
"Fuck me Brian, that was really fucking hot, I never had phone sex before…how about I come over and we can have the real thing"? He asked felling pleasantly sated
Chapter Nine
"Would you mind leaving it until tomorrow morning after your morning shift, im in the middle of doing something that I want to tell you about when you get here, but I still have more to do, so can you keep your dick in your pants till then, or do you need to go and fuck a Twinkie"? Laughed Brian
"Fuck you," replied Justin, "Im not the one who fucks everyone in sight, that's you"
"So I will see you in the morning then, ok?" Asked Brian
"Of course you'll see me in the morning Brian" and then he took a deep breath and added "I love you Brian, I know you don't believe in all that love stuff and it makes your dick soft even thinking about it but…I do love you whether you believe it or not"!
Brian thought to himself something he already knew all along but wouldn't admit to himself or anyone "I believe you Justin, goodnight" and hung up.
After taking a shower and getting a sandwich Brian returned to his notebook and pen and began to write more.
Two days after the beating I was in the kitchen getting a sandwich, mom and dad were at work and Claire was at school. my cousin came into the house trough the back door which was always unlocked incise someone got home early and had lost their key.
He asked me what had happened and I told him the usual story I had accustomed to telling everyone after a beating from the old man...I had fell down the stairs to the basement, he stroke my face and asked did my parents take me to see a doctor, I told him of course they had and I was okay.
I went into the sitting room and sat down to eat my sandwich when he said… he was thinking about me last night while he was having sex with his girlfriend and wished it was me he was doing it with.
I got up from the sofa leaving the remainder of my sandwich on the table and tried to run upstairs but couldn't because every bone in my body felt broken and really hurt a lot, he watched me struggle getting up the stairs and all I could think was getting into that room and locking it from the inside, hoping he would leave, but when I got inside the room he pushed passed and closed the door himself, I went over and sat on the bed, thinking just let it be over what ever it is he wants, I don't have the energy to fight him and before I knew what I was going to say, I heard myself say "Just do what ever you want and leave me alone please", then he lifted my top and started kissing my stomach and told me I was hottest guy he had ever seen in his life and he was in love with me, he told me to take of my pants and under wear and lay on the bed on my stomach and he would make me feel good, so good I would never forgot it.
Then he raped me again, and despite my asking to stop and begging him…continuing until the end.
Chapter Ten
After he was finished he lay beside for ages while I cried, stroking my arm and telling me he was sorry for going so hard when I must still be a little sore from falling down the stairs, he had no fucking idea how in pain I was, physically and emotionally and mostly because of him, emotionally.
After a little while I began to feel nothing inside, except emptiness, I felt completely hollow.
Before he left he threw twenty dollars on my bed and said, "Here, buy yourself something nice next time you're in town" kissed my cheek and looked into my eyes and said "I love you so much Brian"
After that it was touching and blow jobs until I was seventeen when his mom got offered a new job in a new town that far away from this town, and I knew then that everything he put me through would be in the past, and it would stay there for ever.
I finished high school and went to collage, got a place of my own on money I made doing odd jobs and working in a cinema, shit jobs but the pay was good.
I promised myself that that part of my life was over, no more being a fuck toy and a punch bag for me, I was done with that.
When I left college I had fucked practically most of the students there, gay, straight or undecided and felt in complete control of my life.
An intern job came up at an advertising agency called Ryder and I applied and got the job there after the first interview, I am currently there and not only that…I have just been made partner.
I have a son whom I adore and a…partner called Justin who came into my life on the night he was born and I couldn't be happier with how things have turned out in my life from the wet and windy night when I was nine years old.
Brian smiled as he closed the book and set it…along with the pen on top of the bedside locker, he knew that he had gotten through the part of writing it out and reading it over, despite how hard it was, and he felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
The next morning when he got up, pissed and showered, made some coffee, unlocked the loft door, (Justin had his own key) he took the book from the bedside locker and brought it over to the table in the dinette and waited for Justin to arrive, he fell asleep.
It was the sound of the loft door being pulled shut by Justin that woke him an hour later.
"Justin, what time is it"? He asked through a yawn
"Its ten thirty" replied the blond as he took off his carry on book bag and coat, he then leant down and kissed Brian passionately on the lips.
Chapter Eleven
"So how are you today Brian"? Justin asked as he sat down on the sofa beside him
Brian thought he would leave the sarcasm and bullshit he usually came up with when asked that question behind and simply said…"Not bad sunshine, I have had better days"!
Brian proceeded to tell Justin that for the last six months he had been seeing a therapist for something that had happened in his teens, and because it was something that Justin had told him one night was the reason he sought out the therapist, that he was willing to share it all with him, and only him, because he trusted him and knew he wouldn't betray him.
"I wrote everything in this book Justin, and I want you to read it all and if you fucking pity me after reading it, we are done, I don't want anyone's pity, ok"? He asked as he handed his lover the book
"Fine, I won't pity you" the blond mumbled
Brian handed Justin the notebook and said, "I am heading to the grocers to pick up a few things" and on that last word was out the loft door.
Justin opened the book and began reading it, the more he read the more he felt bad for Brian and the more he felt sick also, he began to cry.
When he finished the book he put it on the table and lay down on the sofa and cried violently into the cushion, he cried for what felt like a long time, until he heard the loft door open and Brian walked in.
He walked right up to Brian and hugged him really tight until he cried out his last tear, Brian gently walked them both over to the sofa as he held Justin in his arms
"Its ok Justin, I am ok now" Said Brian as he held the blond a little tighter
Brian pulled back Justin's head from his shoulder so he could look into his eyes, they were red raw and it looked like he had been crying for ages, he wiped away the tears and gently kissed his mouth.
"I am okay Justin," he repeated
Justin looked at him and said, "No you aren't Brian, but I believe you will be, and I believe I will be too" he replied as he moved his eye's from Brian's to his knee's
Brian Knew there was something Justin wanted to say…but couldn't
"Justin, did someone do something to you"? He asked, feeling sick at what he thought the answer might be.
Chapter Twelve
Justin got up from the sofa and walked over to the window and looked out at the street that had been filled with snow from the night before, Brian got up and followed him.
Taking a deep breath Justin relied "When I was twelve my mom and dad went out to party at the country club and left Molly and me at our aunt Nora's house, but she wasn't due home from work until ten that night so we had to sit in the sitting room with uncle Joe until she got home, Molly loved Joe but I didn't, I hated him.
Justin took a deep breath and Brian could see him struggling to find the right words so he held him and said "Its ok Justin, in your own time"
He continued on " The reason I hated him was because…a week before, when there was a party at our house, not long after I came out, he came into my room with a bible he had found in the drawer downstairs, and told me there was something in it he wanted to talk to me about, then he started talking about how being gay was an abomination to god and that because I was gay I was going to hell with all the other filthy faggots"
Brian held Justin from behind and spoke softly into his ear "Fuck him Justin, he had no right to say that to you, you are worth ten million of him"
Justin turned in Brian's arms and faced him and spoke again "He raped me Brian, the music downstairs was so loud no one even fucking heard my screams, he pushed me down onto my bed and ripped my pyjama bottoms off and raped me, I wanted to die in that moment because the pain I felt was just unbearable, and the more I screamed the more it almost felt like I would die, like I was being stabbed, he fucking raped me…he raped me"
Justin fell to his knee's in Brian's arms and they both stayed in that position until he stopped crying.
Brian felt like someone had took a knife and stuck it straight through his gut, he could understand why all that shit happened to him but not Justin, not his sunshine.
Taking a deep breath Brain asked, "Did you anyone about this Justin"?
"A few days after it happened I had worked myself into the right frame of mind and was going to tell my mom, I knew she was in the kitchen because I could hear her, she had just been on the phone.
I went in there and she was at the sink, I sat at the table and said we need to talk about something, that I had something important to tell her.
I could see her shoulders shaking so I knew she was crying, when I asked her what was wrong she told me she just got off the phone to aunt Nora and that uncle Joe had hung himself in their shed, so I never told her or anyone".
Brian and Justin lay in each other's arms on Brian's bed at Justin's request because no matter what was happening in his life he always felt safe there, Brian told Justin it was the same for him, they both fell asleep.
Brian took Justin to his next appoint to see Dr Harris and got him to take on Justin as a patient as well, and he agreed.
Five years later after much heartache, Brian and Justin learned new ways to cope with what had happened to them, and realised that instead of blaming themselves they should have been blaming their attackers.
They told only each other when they had their off days and vowed to never trust any of the gang with what they went through, not for fear of being believed or judged but because it was none of their business.
Brian opened his own advertising firm and called it Kinnetic and bought a mansion in the country for his prince, they christened every room in the house on the first day they viewed it, having asked the realtor who happened to be a certain Jen Taylor, to give them some time alone to view the premises.
After the last place the made love in, which was the largest sitting room in the house in front of the open fires they had lit when they first walked in with jean Justin spoke
"I think we should call our home Bri-tin"
Brian pulled him close and replied "well other half of Bri-tin…I love you, always have, always will" and they both made love again sealing their vow of a committed relationship.

Contains 35 pads (including 1 test pad) + peel solution, 1.9 fl oz
Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 should be used twice weekly to diminish the existing visible signs of aging, and Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10 should be used on in-between days for daily exfoliation and to help prevent future signs of aging.
Jar35 Pads (including 1 Test Pad) Bottle SolutionAqua (Water), Citric Acid, Arginine, Ammonium Hydroxide, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin.
Bottle SolutionAqua (Water), Citric Acid, Arginine, Ammonium Hydroxide, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin.
Pour the entire bottle of solution onto the jar of pads before the first use. Discard the bottle. For optimal results, wipe pad over cleansed face every morning. Gently massage in any remaining fluid. Avoid lips and eyes. Follow right away with serum and moisturizer, if desired. Recommended for AM use, but can be used in the PM instead. Daily use of sunscreen or sun avoidance is recommended with use of this Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) product and for one week after, to minimize the risk of sun sensitivity/sunburn.
For Sensitive Skin: We suggest using the test peel on a small, inconspicuous part of your face OR on the sides of the nose (nasolabial folds) where stinging is most likely to occur to determine your sensitivity to this product. With all acid peels, a slight tingling or tightness is expected, but if you notice bothersome stinging we recommend using this peel every other day or less frequently, as tolerated. If your skin feels uncomfortable at any time, the peel can be rinsed off. Apply a gentle PHA or bionic cream over it such as Exuviance Ultra Restorative Creme, Exuviance Evening Restorative Cream or Exuviance Multi-Protective Day Creme.
For Non-Sensitive Skin: These pads are super-saturated, so after you apply to your face we suggest using the excess on your hands and chest to deliver a daily antioxidant boost to these age-prone areas also.
For Retinol / Retin-A Users: For best results, we recommend using Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10 in the morning and your retinol products at night time as tolerated. If your retinol product has SPF in it for daytime use, we suggest using Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10 at night before bed. For Retin-A users, use Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10 2 times per week and increase to daily use as tolerated.

On Saturday, we spent the day at the hotel water park, which was FILLED with kids. My sister-in-law and her husband brought their three children (Sarah, Brooklyn, and Lily) and their grandnephew, Elijah. My husband and I, of course, just brought Little Lewie. The kids had a blast swimming in the pool, going down water slides, and playing on the splash pad while the adults mostly rested at tables on the side.
|Cousin Brooklyn in the pool
|Aunt Missy and Uncle Moises
|Sarah and Lewie
Lights out was around 10 o'clock as we had to wake up early the next morning to bring Sarah and Aunt Missy to the DCU Center. She had to be there for practice at 8:30 a.m., and her performance was slated for 10:20 a.m. Awards wouldn't happen until 1 p.m., so we knew we were headed for a fairly long day. I didn't know how Lewie would handle all the waiting, but to my surprise, he was great. He loved listening to the music and watching the performances. Only twice did he request to go home, which prompted me to remind him that we had to wait until after the award ceremony.
As for the "Sassy Cats"... well, they won first place! We were so proud of Sarah. We already knew she could do these amazing flips and tumbling, but nothing could replace seeing her live performance. We were allowed to go to the front stage when it was their turn, and the girls honestly took my breath away. It was a very proud moment for this aunt and a very proud moment for Lewie who absolutely adores his cousin.
