Grigori Nelyubov
Grigori Grigoyevich Nelyubov (Russian: Григо́рий Григо́рьевич Нелю́бов; March 31, 1934 – February 18, 1966) was a Soviet cosmonaut who was likely to have been the third or fourth person in space before his dismissal from the Soviet space program.
Born in Porfiryevka, Crimea in USSR, Nelyubov was a captain and pilot in the Soviet Air Force. He was selected as one of the original 20 cosmonauts on March 7, 1960 along with Yuri Gagarin. The following year, six of the original twenty were evaluated for assignment on Vostok flight crews between January 17 and 18; Gagarin, Titov, and Nelyubov were considered the top three candidates [1].[1] For Vostok 1 Nelyubov was chosen as second double for Gagarin and presumably first double for Vostok 2 for Titov in April and August 1961 respectively. For the dual launches of Vostok 3 and Vostok 4, Nelyubov was again chosen as a double for Andrian Nikolayev and Pavel Popovich.
On March 27, 1963, Nelyubov, Ivan Anikeyev and Valentin Filatyev were arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct by the militia at Chkalovskaya station. According to reports, the officers of the security patrol that arrested them were willing to ignore the whole incident if the cosmonauts apologized, but Nelyubov refused, and the matter was reported to the authorities. Because there were previous incidents, all three were dismissed from the cosmonaut corps on April 17, 1963, though officially not until May 4, 1963. Nelyubov never completed a space mission.
Following dismissal he went back to flying interceptors in Siberia but fell to drinking and depression. He died on February 18, 1966. While drunk, he stepped in front of a train near the Ippolitovka station, northwest of Vladivostok. It was officially ruled a suicide. To protect the image of the space program, efforts were made to cover up the reason for Nelyubov's dismissal and his following suicide. His image was airbrushed out of the famous "Sochi Six" photo which showed the top members of the original class of Soviet cosmonauts. This airbrushing led to speculation about "lost cosmonauts".

At Wednesday's public hearing, a trio of expert witnesses told the East Pikeland Zoning Hearing Board they see no issues with the proposed East Pikeland Elementary expansion on stormwater, traffic safety, or environmental grounds.
The Phoenixville Area School District presented their case for the new facility during the meeting, while the will get an opportunity to counter when the hearing is continued later in the summer.
Dr. William Schew, vice president at O'Brien and Gere Environmental Services, was the last of the experts called on, but delivered perhaps the evenings' most compelling testimony. Schew addressed the likelihood that the threat the dieldrin in area's groundwater poses would be compounded by the district's proposed construction on the site.
His answer: it wouldn't.
Schew said, again and again, that it's very unlikely the bygone pesticide would become a health hazard as a result of the PASD plans for the Hares Hill Road site.
, Schew said that while dieldrin is present in the groundwater–a problem the school has obviated by using public water–there is no evidence it is in the soil of the school, or that the school is the source of the contamination.
"It never has been known as a storage place for pesticides and there has been no confirmed use of pesticides there," he said, adding that the Kimberlea Landfill is viewed as a possible source of the contamination that "has been in the water in this area for quite some time."
Schew dismissed speculation that dieldrin was used to treat termites at the school in the past and consequently contaminated the area's groundwater. He said the compound doesn't travel well–upon application it tends to bind to soil and stay there, rarely moving more than a foot–and so is very unlikely to have migrated from the soil surface to the water under such a scenario.
Schew also stated, in response to concerns raised by a group of homeowners who oppose the construction, that the school's stormwater management plans are unlikely to compromise nearby wells. He said the proposed basins aren't going to significantly impact water flow, and that the poison will effectively "stay where it always has been." He added that, if anything, the stormwater would serve to mitigate the concentration of the toxin.
"[Stormwater runoff] will dilute dieldrin or anything else that's in the groundwater. Stormwater will have little in the way of contaminants–salt, sodium, chloride, and a little in the way of hydrocarbon," he said.
Schew also, with some prodding from the board, expressed puzzlement over the apparent lack of interest environmental agencies have in pinpointing the source of the area's dieldrin contamination.
"I find that attitude humorous," said board member Jeff Morgan, in reference to what he framed as their blase approach.
"Believe me, so do we," added Schew.
The PhD's most emphatic endorsement of the proposed construction came at the end of his testimony though, when a board member asked him if he would, knowing what he knows about the site's history with dieldrin, let his daughter attend East Pikeland Elementary School.
"Yes," he said, without hesitation.
Before Schew's testimony, the stormwater runoff and traffic safety components of the districts' plan received endorsements as well.
Angelo M. Capuzzi of Chester Valley Engineers testified that the site will meet the township's stormwater requirements, and that the district's additions will cause a "dramatic improvement to the runoff on the property," while traffic engineer Frank Tavani testified that the traffic control measures the school is proposing are sufficient to meet the township's requirements.

To fight corruption, governments first need to recognize that it is a real problem. "They need to ensure that national structures in charge of fighting corruption are well resourced, and staff have the capacity to do their work in an independent way, without political interference," said Marie-Ange Kalenga, Transparency International's West Africa regional coordinator.
"They also need to ensure there is an appropriate legal framework, in line with the regional and the international instruments on anti-corruption, and to educate ordinary citizens and promote integrity at the individual level," she said.
Lapaque said this could mean creating an independent anti-corruption entity, or giving political independence to judges and prosecutors. Civil society groups and NGOs can help in developing codes of conduct, promoting integrity, and advocating the adoption of appropriate legislation, as well as the training of anti-corruption agencies, added Kalenga.
Empowering citizens to denounce corruption and to seek redress if they are victims of corruption could also help, as could making budgets more transparent and including people in the participation of public spending, Lapaque suggested.
"Transparency is an important factor in building democratic governments that are accountable to their people," said Tom Cardamone, GFI's managing director. "I think that's what we need to do to stem the flow of illicit money and stop this corruption."
Murisa said, "If we just got back 50 percent of what we are currently losing to corruption, it could mean things like advancements in education or better road systems. We could make sure our children are back at school, we could make sure we are maintaining social welfare systems, and we could make sure our healthcare delivery systems are working properly."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Firstly, this multiboxing video stream is AMAZING. This guy obviously has the community at heart as he is spending time and time showing people the methods used to multibox right from the very start.
I completely commend him.
Second, for all those people like Vector and Supernova spreading all these fake rumors, I did my research. What I found is this:
The Multiboxing.tv author has made multiple community enhancing efforts including various websites, and software tools, all of which enrich the general public and help out World of Warcraft players greatly. He has contributed VASTLY to this game.
Vector/Supernova/Dual-boxing have been spreading lies and rumors constantly such as what you are seeing here. They have no proof of anything, their only "proof" is their own website which has what clearly seems to me like lies and falsified information.
I did my research and I discovered why Supernova/Dual-boxing have been slandering Tim/multiboxing.tv. It is because they are being PAID to do so. Their website makes a (imo inferior) multiboxing software and they are paid for every time they sell it. No wonder why they are taking these low ball and shady tactics.
This multiboxing.tv is yet another example of Tim's contribution to the gaming community.
The Supernova/Dual-boxing is setting yet another example of their blatant greed and general dishonesty by slandering one of the most contributing people to this game today, aside from Blizzard of course.
Multiboxing.tv website quotes "NEXT LIVE BROADCAST: 9pm CST 06/27/09" and I will be there to watch the entire thing. KEEP IT REAL!!!!
That is probably the funniest thing I have read in a long time. At no point does dual-boxing.com make money on software, and you know why? Because they do not make software! Like I stated there are many kinds of software packages prominent on the site and all are welcome with one condition...they do not break the Blizzard TOS/Eula.
And I am sorry but where did I slander anyone? I only stated known facts, I am in no position and have no desire to participate in flame wars. It does nothing for the community. And for full disclosure, Keyclone is the most visible on the site because he also contributes financial backing for the monthly expenses. No different than any other company paying for advertising on a site. He also participates positively to the community on multi-boxing support, as due ISBoxer and HKN authors.
Please understand that the community needs the efforts of everyone to make it a positive and worthwhile endeavor. We are here to play a game and have fun doing it. If someone wants to make a buck while doing it, fine all for it. As long as it is done within the TOS/Eula of Blizzard and within practical limits of the community. That is all that really matters. And when that doesn't happen that will impact the whole community. I for one do not want to see the same person posting as 3 different user accounts advertising the same thing.
Lastly I am not recommending any method for multi-boxing and have no opinion on Tim's latest software. The facts are facts, he broke the TOS/Eula previously and I would be cautious because of that fact.

I know, it's a horribly uninspired title.
The prompt for this is over here. Dorian is a Goddess at coming up with awesome story ideas, and I strive really hard to write the story she wants. I felt like the first one went over really well, so I hope this one doesn't disappoint.
Summary: Summer vacations suck, and Cas seems bent on making it awkward for Dean.
Pairing: Dean/Cas
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~4,500
Warnings: There is an age gap here that I suppose technically makes the sex illegal. Dean is 16, Cas is 21.
Other kinks: rimming, denied (delayed) orgasm, use of cock ring, handcuffs, and gag. Deep throating. Mention of breath play. Did I forget any? I usually forget one…
Dean wakes up and has the room he's sharing with Castiel and Sam all to himself. He can hear Sam and Anna laughing outside and the steady rumble of Castiel's voice is laced with it. This registers on one important level to Dean: it means he doesn't have to sneak to the bathroom to take care of his morning wood. He can take his time and do it the way he likes, with his legs spread, knees slightly bent, and a finger in his ass. It's fantastic. Probably the only part of the entire trip he's enjoyed. If only his family would let him stay inside the cabin all day, masturbating his brains out, cycling fantasies of busty cheerleaders, with the football players and their tight asses, with all of them at once. But the family won't let him stay inside long. Something about bonding.
Family vacations simply suck. Family vacations with the Miltons, in grubby cabins along mosquito ridden lakes suck more. Dean can think of so many things he'd rather be doing. Like making out with said cheerleaders and/or football players instead of just fantasizing about it. Maybe finally getting laid. But he's 16, and he wasn't given a choice. Not like that asshole Castiel, whose 21 and didn't have to come, but chose to anyway. The last three years in a row Castiel had been away at college and his exam schedule conflicted, not that Dean missed him being there or anything. This year his exams didn't conflict, but that doesn't explain why the dark haired -look at me I'm perfect- arrogant prick would decide to come. He didn't have to.
All Cas does is sit on the beach in his swim trunks and read, like he's so much smarter and more sophisticated than everyone else, like his three years at college have made him some high-class intellectual who actually likes books and reading, and everyone else is just a dumb hick. Like it justifies him going off to school and leaving behind everyone else.
Sometimes, though, he plays with Sam and Anna (13 and 12 respectively) and they laugh and love every minute of it, like Cas is the best older brother ever. Normally Dean would have a huge ass problem with this, because he is the best older brother ever damn it, but it also leads to one very fortunate thing.
It makes it very easy for Dean to sneak away.
He has this awesome spot behind the cabin where no one can see him, where he likes to sneak off to after he's stolen a beer from a cooler, to light up a cigarette from the pack he hid the second they got to these bug-ridden woods.
He's sulking in that spot now, leaning back against the cabin and scratching absentmindedly at a bug bite on his arm in between puffs off his cigarette and pulls on his Bud Light, when he hears the crunch of footsteps on forest floor. Before he can think to put the cigarette out, Castiel has turned the corner and that's it. Cas knows.
Cas keeps walking to him, like he's completely unsurprised to find Dean smoking and drinking, and that's a little infuriating. Still, Dean freezes, unsure of what to say. Would Cas tell on him? Probably. Castiel always was a goody-two-shoes, and now he's also a prick.
Dean watches with trepidation as Cas saunters up to him, clear into his personal space, and plucks the cigarette from his fingers. He catches Dean's eye with his piercing blues as he drags a slow puff off it, before throwing it to the ground and stomping it out. He leans forward, his body almost flush against Dean now, pressing him into the wall, before slowly blowing the smoke across Dean's ear. Dean shivers as he feels blood rush down to his crotch. He feels Cas's fingers next to his own as they wrap around the beer bottle.
Cas's lips tickle his ear, Dean growing harder every second, as he whispers in that absurdly deep voice of his, "Little kids shouldn't play with big boy toys."
Castiel is gone before Dean realizes he took his beer.
That asshole, Dean repeats to himself over and over again while he jerks off quickly into the cabin's toilet. Who does he think he is?
Things pretty much go downhill from there. Cas comes out of the lake in nothing but his swim trunks, water running down his perfect, flat stomach and over the peak of hip bones, the sun glinting off the wet skin, making Castiel fucking glow, and in fucking no time, Dean Jr has come to full attention against Dean's direct orders.
It's awkward and embarrassing, and Dean curses at Castiel the entire time he jerks off in the bathroom.
And you would think, YOU WOULD THINK, eating lunch should be safe. One should be able to eat their PB&J without fear of a raging hard on. Then Castiel is plopping down at the picnic table with one of those throwback Coke bottles. And Dean, Dean ignores him. Why the guy couldn't drink his pop somewhere else is beyond him, why he had to ruin the comfortable solitude Dean had temporarily found. But it doesn't matter, he's going to enjoy his peanut butter with extra jelly like the most gorgeous man in the world hadn't just sat down at his table. Because Castiel isn't. The most gorgeous man in the world, that is. Cas only thinks he is. Clearly.
That works for Dean for a few minutes. Until he glances up, and Castiel has finished his Coke, and is currently working his tongue all around the lip of the bottle, fucking lapping at it. It's obscene, and suddenly Dean's completely forgotten about his treasured sandwich. He's too busy watching Cas make out with a Coke bottle.
Then Cas glances up, catches his eye, and smirks. Dean stops breathing as Cas begins sliding the bottle into his mouth. And that, that is not fair. Dean watches that bottle slide over Castiel's full lips much further than should ever be possible, watches Castiel fucking swallow around it, and Dean's done. He bolts from the table so fast he knocks his chair on the ground and the sandwich goes flying.
When he beats off to this one, one hand pressed to the wall above the toilet, one hand on his dick, it is with the knowledge that now Castiel is definitely fucking with him on purpose. And that quite properly pisses him off.
With knowledge comes power, right? Well. Not to Dean. Castiel is hell bent on torturing him and there's nothing he can do about it.
So they need to go to the grocery, right? There's a Wal-Mart in town, because there's a Wal-Mart in every town, even if it's a 45 minute trip. That means a long trip in a very cramped car. And with Sam and Anna, it means a very noisy car, because the two never shut up, and so Dad cranks the Kansas to drown them out, and then of course Mom has to shout at Dad, and the whole thing is just ridiculous. Dean tries to get out of going, but apparently he's the "muscles" or some shit like that, so he's resigned to a long, annoying trip.
Then Castiel's opening the door on his side.
"You coming Cas?" Dad asks from the front.
"Yes, I have some things to get."
"Shame, there's no room," Dean is quick to point out, relieved to have a ready excuse for keeping Castiel and his teasing, pretentious self at bay for at least a shopping excursion.
"That's okay Dean, I can just sit on your lap. You don't mind, do you?"
But Dean doesn't get his full rebuttal out before Castiel is sliding that nice, tight round ass across his thighs and settling in.
Dean looks around, panicked and seeking help- surely this is absurd, there has to be a better solution than this, but his Dad just shrugs, and no one else is paying attention. He puts the car into drive, and their off. For 45 minutes. Of Castiel's ass grinding into his lap. Great.
Castiel doesn't waste the opportunity. Of course he doesn't. Every bump in the road he exaggerates, bouncing against Dean. And when he isn't bouncing, he's grinding, shifting his hips back and forth. Dean's harder than he can ever remember being in his life, and there's just no way Castiel can't feel that against his ass cheeks.
"Jesus Dean," Castiel says at one point, in a totally normal voice. "Your legs are so boney."
Dean grits his teeth. "Maybe if you sat still, that wouldn't be a problem."
Castiel doesn't respond, other to roll his ass backwards, harder into Dean's erection.
Dean really wants to reach up and grab Castiel's hips to hold him still, but he can't. No one is paying them any attention, and no one can hear a damn thing over all the noise, but if Sam or Anna glanced over and saw him holding Castiel's hips, there'd be no explanation to cover that. So he's balling his fists at his side, and biting his lip to hold back a groan, while Castiel keeps on shifting.
He's getting close to coming. He shouldn't be. He's got four layers of clothing between him and skin, but his dick doesn't seem to care.
"Cas," Dean leans forward a little bit to whisper panicked in his ear through clenched teeth. "Please. Stop. I'm…"
"You're what Dean?" Castiel asks, not so innocently, rolling his hips hard.
"Stop it, you know-"
"Know what Dean?"
He bites his lip. It's too late. He moans into Castiel's shoulder, trying to muffle the sound, as the orgasm that never should have been washes over him.
Dean's never been so mortified in his life. His parents, his little brother, and the girl he thinks of as a little sister are all in the car with him. No one noticed anything, but still. He has to rush to the bathroom when they get to the store before that fact changes and take care of the problem.
Cas is definitely an asshole.
Fortunately for Dean, Anna volunteers to sit on her big brother's lap for the ride home.
"What was so important you had to come along Cas?" Dean asks with a disgruntled tone, earning him a sharp, questioning look from Sam.
"I needed batteries."
"What the hell did you need batteries for?" Dean asks. It's a good question. Nothing runs on batteries any more. Everything charges.
Castiel just smirks, and Dean has a feeling that's not a good thing.
Later that night, Dean finds out what the batteries are for.
Everyone is feasting on the marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker goodness they got at the store that day, gathered around a campfire and singing stupid hokey campfire songs. Dean thinks it might be a good opportunity to sneak off, so he does.
He's lying in his bunk on the bottom, the sheets he used to make curtains out of pulled tight around the bed, debating about whether he wants to get off before calling it a night, (he's most certainly not thinking about a certain jerk with blue eyes and dark hair and an ass that could –and nearly did- kill), when he looks down and sees the strap of Castiel's bag sitting on the floor next to the bunk. Well, the guy had been an ass to him all day after all, so Dean doesn't have to feel bad if he lets curiosity take over does he? He wants to know what Cas keeps in his bag. Maybe he'll find something he can use against Cas. So he slides his hand through the sheet curtain to pull the bag closer and take a look.
Whatever he was expecting, a small blue vibrator was certainly not it.
And there's lube next to it.
And a now open battery pack.
Fucking hell.
Dean's dick gives an interested jerk, and that answers the question about whether he should beat off tonight or not. The thought of using Castiel's vibrator on himself is too good to ignore. The fact that Castiel would use it later, after it's been in Dean…
Dean strips quickly out of his boxers, leaving himself completely naked, and opens the bottle of lube. He pours some over his fingers and quickly slides them around his balls and against his hole. He plays with his dick lightly while he eases himself open. The vibrator isn't a large one (which Dean is grateful for, he's never had more than a few fingers in his ass before) so it doesn't take long before he judges it good enough. He turns the vibrator on before letting it trace down his cock and over his balls, letting it tease at the sensitive rim of his hole. He slides it in slowly and groans hard.
It feels incredible. He gets it deep enough that it's vibrating right against his prostate, and Dean doesn't know how he doesn't come from that alone. He starts fucking his fist slowly, feeling the vibration run through his cock, while his other hand keeps the vibrator in place, jerking and thrusting it slightly.
He's panting hard. God it's a good thing they're being so loud outside. He's building up to the best orgasm he's ever had, and nothing is going to keep the sounds he makes when that happens in check.
Which is why, of course, Castiel picks that moment to throw open the makeshift curtains.
Dean freezes completely, right on the edge of coming his brains out. He simply blinks up at Cas's smirk with wide, deer-in-headlight eyes, feeling his heart pound right out of his chest.
Then Cas is reaching down and wrapping his fingers around the base of his cock, chocking his impending orgasm right off.
Dean, to his unending embarrassment, fists the sheets, throws his head back and whines.
"Cas, fuck!" he finally says, when Cas doesn't do anything else. "Cas please, damn it, let me come!"
Dean's reaching for his cock, half unconsciously, but determined to get off, when Cas says, "No Dean, I don't think so. Not until I say so."
Dean whines again. Not that he would ever admit that.
"Please Cas."
"Knew you wanted it," Cas says in the most cocky tone Dean's ever heard. But at this point, Dean doesn't care.
"Yes. Yes, goddamn it Cas, yes. Just let me-"
"I said no." Castiel says, keeping his grip on Dean's cock. He reaches down and fishes around in his bag for a second before coming up with handcuffs. Dean's eyes go wide. "Can't have you touching yourself now can I?"
Before Dean can even process it, he's handcuffed to a beam above his head. It hits him then, how vulnerable he is. Arms raised, and secure, and he's still got a damn vibrator in his ass. It really, probably shouldn't be as acutely arousing as it is.
"Fuck Cas, fuck." Dean says, meeting his brilliant blue eyes. "Yes, yes, god yes. Fuck me, whatever… whatever you want. Just let me come. Damn it I'm so close Cas-"
Dean had been hoping that the dirty talk, the begging, would win Cas over, convince him to finish Dean off at least. But he breaks off when he sees Cas fish a neat little ring shaped object from his bag.
"You seem to be in danger of coming too soon, Dean," Cas says calmly. "It's okay. I don't blame you. You're new to this. But I can't have that."
"Fuck you Cas, I'm not some-" Dean protests as Cas slides ring down his penis, but breaks off with a choked sound when it is snug around his base. Dean stares wide eyed at the bottom of the bunk above him, torn completely in a thousand different directions of emotions.
"Dean look at me." Cas commands while he strokes Dean's penis lightly. Dean looks because he has no brain capacity to do anything else. "Do you trust me? Trust me, Dean. You're freaking out on me here. I need you to trust me. I will give you the best orgasm you will ever have, but you have to trust me."
Dean suddenly remembers that this isn't just some random jerk that went away to college. This is someone he's known his entire life, someone he's always wanted like this, if he's being honest with himself. Someone he does and has always trusted completely.
Dean nods and arches into Castiel's hand.
The feral smile that passes over Castiel's face has Dean doubting that decision for a second. But only a second.
Castiel slides his hand down Dean's cock to the vibrator, letting his fingers ghost over the end of it. "Now. Who said you could play with my toys?" Dean swallows hard. How do you justify taking someone's vibrator? Then Cas chuckles. "Relax Dean. I left it there for you to find."
"You what?"
"I didn't need the batteries either. You think I'd come unprepared?"
Dean groans. "Cas you are one evil-"
Dean's cut off with a whelp as Castiel grabs his hips and turns him 180 degrees on the bed in one quick, dirty motion, the chain of the handcuffs just long to twist with it. Dean's barely adjusted to the abrupt change in position before Castiel is settling himself between Dean's legs, pulling his hips up and maneuvering Dean until his ass is up in the air and he's propped up on his elbows with his wrist crossed at the handcuffs. Dean thought he was vulnerable before? The vibrator is still in his ass, he is still handcuffed, only now his ass is in the air, just waiting for whatever Castiel has planned. He shudders in anticipation.
Castiel runs his hands lightly down Dean's back and sides a few times before they settle on Dean's ass. Dean feels his cheeks spread, and then there's a wetness sliding around his hole, next to the vibrator.
"Fuck!" he moans in shock, pulling lightly at the handcuffs. "Is that your tongue?" The wetness disappears and Cas pops into the side of Dean's vision as he rustles in the bag again. "What is this? Castiel's endless bag of kinky sex objects?"
"You are much too loud, Dean."
It's all the warning he gets before there's a slip of cloth sliding between his lips and a knot is tied behind his head.
"Mmmph," Dean complains. Castiel ignores him.
Yes, it was definitely tongue, Dean decides as Cas goes to town. It's probably a good thing Cas gagged him, if the sounds he's able to make around it are any indication. Castiel works around the vibrator for a little while, but eventually slides it out. Dean's gratefully for the reprieve from the constant onslaught of sensation when his dick feels harder and bigger than it's been in his entire life, and yet utterly held back from orgasm.
But his reprieve is short lived. The vibrator is simply replaced by fingers, and they are doing everything possible to stretch Dean out as much as they can while pressing into his prostate and driving Dean mad.
"I was right, wasn't I, Dean?" Castiel asks while he works. Dean struggles to hear it, the blood is pounding in his ears so hard. "I will be the first person to ever enter this sweet ass of yours?" Dean nods roughly. "I was hoping as much."
The fingers are gone and Castiel disappears entirely for a moment while Dean hears him stripping. Then he appears again, rummaging in the bag. Dean watches him pull a condom out and quirks an eyebrow. "Yes, I had hoped I might get lucky on this trip."
Castiel slips the condom on and moves behind Dean again. Dean feels hard bluntness press up against his hole, and then Castiel pauses. "Whenever you're ready Dean," he says with a trace of tenderness.
Dean can hardly speak around the cloth, so he indicates he's ready, more than ready, in the only way left to him. He pushes back into Castiel, letting the Cas's cockhead just barely breach him. He gasps hard at that, right around the gag.
Castiel's hands are petting his sides, his back, and it helps ease the pressure, the newness of the moment. It's so patient and tender and loving, Dean doesn't know what to make of it. The guy has vibrators and cock rings and handcuffs and gags and god knows what else in his bag of kinky sex objects, and so Dean thought he was going to be taken roughly and forcefully. Why does he keep forgetting this is Castiel?
"I'm going to move in now, Dean. I'll go slow," Cas says.
True to his word, Cas pushes his way in as slowly as humanly possible. It's a slow, bone deep burn, but Cas keeps one hand stroking him softly while the other reaches around to lightly caress his cock, and Dean is totally, completely overwhelmed. He's never felt so many things all at once before. Cas is seated fully when Dean whines the overwhelming onslaught out. Cas seems to understand what it means.
He lets Dean have a few more moments to adjust to it all before he pulls out and pushes harshly back in.
"Fuck Dean," Castiel growls. Dean's not sure he's heard Cas cuss before. "Sorry, sorry, I meant to go slower-"
Screw that. Dean shoves his hips back as hard as he can. Cas definitely understands what that means.
He growls again, sounds like Dean's name if he's not mistaken, and moves his hands to grip Dean's hips tightly before pulling out to thrust hard again. And again, and again.
"Fuck. Fuck, Dean," Cas says to him, "You're so gorgeous. Always were. I go away, and when I come back you're all grown up. Fuck, so hot. So hot Dean. God look at you, back arched like that, thrusting yourself backwards for me, so greedy for it."
Cas moves one of his hands to Dean's cock again and he moans his approval. Cas changes his angle just slightly, and the thrusts are now dragging across his prostate like there's no tomorrow. Dean wants to come so bad. He would do fucking anything to come right now. The pleasure in his groin and the release he needs to go with it are the sole center of his universe.
Castiel must be able to hear his thoughts. "Gonna let you come Dean, like I promised," Cas tells him at his ear, with a completely wrecked voice, "but you have to earn it first."
Suddenly Dean is flipped back around, a condom makes a dull sound on the ground somewhere, the gag is undone and tossed aside, and Cas's thighs are on either side of his head. He has one hand bracing him somewhere on the bed frame above Dean while the other is angling his cock to Dean's mouth. "Swallow me Dean," Cas says as he slides his cock past Dean's lips. Dean, without hesitation, opens his mouth to take Cas in. It occurs to him that like this, Cas could fuck as hard and as deep into Dean's throat as he wanted. Dean probably should not be aroused by that thought either.
Castiel does not fuck Dean's throat, however. He was very, very close when he pulled out, and it only takes a few shallow thrusts and a few licks of Dean's tongue before Castiel cries out and comes hard, spilling himself into Dean's mouth as he swallows it all down.
Castiel doesn't move away right away. He remains above Dean, panting. Dean wouldn't really complain because the view is fucking fantastic and Cas's softening cock feels good on his tongue. But hello, raging hard on with a cock ring wrapped around it. He thrusts his hips up in the air to get Castiel's attention.
It works. Castiel smiles as he comes back to himself.
"Remember that coke bottle, Dean?" Castiel asks as he slides himself down Dean's body. "I've had a lot of practice at college."
Before Dean can begin to let the jealousy war with the arousal factor of those statements, Cas has slipped the cock ring off his erection and replaced it with his mouth.
Dean bucks his hips, tugging hard at the handcuffs. It doesn't matter, he's already fully inside the intense wet heat of Castiel's mouth. He moans obscenely. He's only been on the edge of orgasm for what feels like hours, so it might be a waste of Castiel's obvious talent, cause it only takes a few thrusts of his hips, a few curls of Castiel's tongue, a few flutters of his throat, before Dean finally, finally releases what had been building up more and more intensely this entire time.
Cas was right. He's never come that hard before, and he can't imagine he ever will again.
He collapses on the bed, only realizing then that he arched completely off the thing, handcuffs straining hard, and doesn't ever want to move again. Or think, or breath. He wants to live in that orgasm for eternity.
Castiel chuckles. Damn cocky bastard. He undoes the handcuffs and puts them back in his bag before lying down on his side next to Dean. He props his head up on his hand so he can gaze down at Dean with some stupid look of fondness.
"Dean, you're such a fucking idiot."
Dean shoots him a glare, but then remembers he can talk again. "Yeah, well you're a conceited-"
Castiel shakes his head. "That's exactly what I mean. If you had gotten over this stupid anger you have at me, for what, going to college? Being five years ahead of you? We could have been doing this the entire vacation."
Dean opens his mouth to retaliate, but he realizes he doesn't actually have anything to say to that. "We've got the rest of the trip…" he says instead.
Castiel smiles. It the same light-up-the-world smile Cas had always had. It makes Dean feel warm inside. Then it falls into Castiel's other classic face- the poker face. "I don't know, apparently I'm some conceited asshole, I don't think you should consort with me any longer."
"Cas. Shut up. And no one says "consort" anymore," Dean says. It's the same kind of playful banter they got up to when they were younger. It feels good. "I'm trying to tell you I want to 'consort' with you again. Don't be a dick about it."
"Hmm," Cas says thoughtfully as he leans down to Dean's hear to whisper, "In that case, do you want to know what else I keep in that bag?"
The rest of summer vacation gets a lot more interesting after that. Castiel enjoys making Dean squirm, making him wear a butt plug when he's outside the cabin, so that only Dean and Cas know it's there. The cock ring makes more than one appearance as well, driving Dean insane. But it all more than worth it when Cas drags him to a secluded part in the woods, falls to his knees, and swallows Dean down his throat. Or when he takes Dean suddenly and roughly up against tree. Or when Cas gets real creative and chokes off his air supply, giving Dean the most unexpectedly mind-blowing orgasm of the whole trip.
Maybe summer vacations don't suck so badly after all.

Stephen Fry (stephenfry) on Twitter (via vivasouthafrica)
Hahaha! Still one of my favourite jokes ever!
Well done boys, I am super proud of you all! Especially Thiago, you played like an absolute boss tonight!!
I'm so happy to be watching my boys again, you really do light up my life :)
Oh Dahveed, I have missed you!
Thank you for an amazing night and an awesome game boys….
I feel I should also mention that some of the highlights of the match for me were Pep's spectacular outfit and Pique's reaction when he noticed the camera was on him…classic! Hahaha
Guardiola not predicting future for Barca
"Only Harry Potter knows if we will be here again in the final of the Champions League, which will be played in May," he said in El Mundo Deportivo.
I'll bet he just watched the last movie and now it's stuck in his head. I can totally picture him sitting in the theatre when all the shit is going down…
Hehehe, oh the things I think about…
Quote from: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/sports/2011-07/27/c_131013616.htm
So Batista is gone.
I'm still not 100% sure how/why it happened because I have read a number of articles with headlines ranging from "Batista sacked as Argentina coach" to "Sergio Batista resigns as coach of Argentina". I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly his biggest fan but I'm definitely not qualified enough to say whether he should have stayed or not so I'll leave it at that.
But now the question is, who's gonna take over from Batista?
When your computer says its 4'C outside, believe it.
Never trust a puddle.
There is such a thing as a pavement/sidewalk river.
An umbrella in the wind is not your friend.
Wellington Boots are a necessity.
Time to bundle up warmly!
Thank you so much! :):)
I'm feeling rather sulky today…I missed the Barca match last night because they weren't broadcasting it here, I had to go back to University today which not only means work but also moving back into res (dorms, hostel, whatever you call it), I'm missing the Copa America final because I have nowhere to watch it AND, its raining…FML
I guess it's just one of those days…but hey, at least they fixed the heater in my room.
So they're not broadcasting the first Barca match here…that's ok. I can deal with it…
Ok, I can't. WTF!!!! This is not acceptable!!
So my dearest dear followers, I would like to know from you…Should I keep this tumblr exclusively for football related posts and create a new one for all my other stuff or, should I just put all my posts on here? I'm rather leaning towards creating a separate one but I would like to know what you guys think :)
We don't love you for the wins…
we love you because you always pick yourself up,
and give us another reason to believe in you.
Vamos Messi…Never stop.
Ok, so obviously I'm really upset that Argentina was knocked out of the Copa. I was really hoping that they were going to make it far. But, what's done is done and I am amazingly proud of them nonetheless!!
I know it doesn't make it any better but I will say that I'm glad it was Uruguay who knocked us out. They were worthy opponents and I really respect them as team. Well done to them!
It was one heck of an exciting match though, WOW! I mean, it had goals, fouls, red and yellow cards, disallowed goals, extra time, penalties…Sheesh, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
I should probably mention that I really REALLY REALLY don't like games that come down to penalties, but then again, who does…In the end though, Muslera did make a good save and that's just the way it is. People shouldn't blame Tevez for missing, they should praise Muslera for doing his job well.
So, let's not forget things like Higuain's beautiful goal and the Messi magic behind it.
And even though they lost, the bond they have as a team shone through. And that is truly beautiful…
Vamos Argentina!
Argentina vs Uruguay tonight! It's going to be amazing!!! I don't think I've been this excited for a match since the UEFA finals…
AND, it's the clash of the golden balls!
What? They both have golden balls…:P
Get ready folks, I have a feeling it's going to be a really tight match!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it :):) Messi <3
So, the Rugby World Cup starts in September and here in South Africa we're already preparing. You can't go into a shop without seeing Rugby jerseys, beanies, scarf's, slippers, hats, flags etc etc etc. So I have decided to compare my favourite sport: Football, to what is debatably South Africa's favourite sport: Rugby.
Nothing serious of course, just for funsies! :)
So! My first question is…Who make better underwear models? Italian Footballers or Italian Rugby Players?
Rugby boys:
This is a toughie…what do you think?
Seems to be a trend. Not that I'm complaining…
Oh geez this is going to be an exciting match!!! Can't wait until the 17th :D :D
I'm actually from South Africa :) I just really love the country and the football!! :D
Firstly let me just say, Thank the Messiah that Batista finally came to his senses! Hopefully he's realised now that Aguero, Higuain and Di Maria are indispensable and should always be in the starting line up!
Now with that out of the way: WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO they won!!!! I'm so proud of all of them! But especially Messi! It makes me so happy to see a smile on his face again!
The game was truly beautiful to watch for any Argentinian fan. It got off to a bit of a slow start but after Aguero's opening goal they were sailing!
Aguero really is a brilliant striker, both his goals were awesome! Credit to Di Maria as well for scoring a great one!
But of course, number 1 for me definitely has to be Messi. The amazing runs and beautiful assists that came out of him in this match were a sight to behold. I bet everyone who was hating on him in the last match feels like quite an idiot now…Just shows you how flaky some fans can be.
Show him some love boys :)
Also, I had to give a little "Aw" when he fell on the goalkeeper and immediately checked to see if he was ok :) That's my boy! Caring as always…
And so with that the boys are back! Hopefully we will do even better in the next round and show everybody just what we're really made of!
Vamos Argentina!
Me too!! If only we could… :)
What were you doing one year ago when the Fifa finals were on? I was watching at a packed Fan Park in the POURING rain! It was amazing…
Oh hell, here comes the nostalgia…
So I spent pretty much the whole of yesterday watching a TV special about the World Cup. It was amazing…
I balled my eyes out all the way through the closing ceremony
Especially when this amazing man came out…love you Tata
The World Cup was amazing, I loved EVERY second of it! From the awesome opening goal.
To the spectacular closing one.
I am still extremely proud of my beautiful country for everything we achieved. For us this was not just a football tournament, it was so much more…
And of course, well done to the winners, La Furia Roja!! What a beautiful team. I can only imagine how they are feeling today…
Ok, I'm going to go sit in a corner and wallow in my nostalgia now…see ya later!
Yay! Thank you :D :D If only you could see the smile on my face right now!
I feel like I need to make a Keisuke Honda appreciation post, I really miss him!! :(:( It's terrible that the Japan NT didn't get to play in the Copa because I literally haven't watched him play a match since the World Cup. It's not my fault though considering he plays in Russia of all places! Why don't they broadcast the Russian league in South Africa??
Anyways I really miss seeing him around, he truly is both beautiful to watch and look at.
There are about a million transfer rumours buzzing around him at the moment so hopefully he'll be moving to club I can actually watch :)

A Pilot Study of Efficacy and Tolerability of Levetiracetam Monotherapy in Subjects With Childhood Absence Epilepsy
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a form of generalized epilepsy syndrome. Clinically
these seizures are manifest with a sudden, brief (3-15 second) loss of awareness followed by
a quick recovery to baseline. Keppra (levetiracetam) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) to treat partial seizures in adults. It is currently being studied in
children with partial seizures. Absence seizures can be difficult to detect clinically,
therefore the response to therapy will be determined both by clinical observation and by 24
hour EEG recordings. The researchers hope that with this information they will learn how
well it works for the treatment of childhood absence epilepsy and at what dose. This is an
open-label, dose-ranging pilot study of levetiracetam in subjects with newly diagnosed
childhood absence epilepsy. Approximately 20 patients will be needed to study effectiveness
and dose requirements. Subjects must not be on any antiepileptic medication at the time of
entry into the study. Male and female subjects from the ages of 4 to 10 years of age may

"Way to go Digg!" shouts blogger Robyn Tippins from her perch at webpronews.com, and in so doing she's joining a chorus of commentators on the so-called Web riot over at digg.com. Digg had attempted to stop users from posting an encryption key on the site, but thousands of users did so anyway, forcing a quick retreat from the company's executives.
InformationWeek calls what happened at the site a Web rebellion, and says it means that "the crowd is law," an modern update to Professor Lawrence Lessig's theory that "code is law" and that the architecture of the Internet can be built in a way to exert control over how it is used.
Of course one way to bring a bit of order to sites like digg, could be to give its users a stake in its success -- and more than just the loyalty that simply fans of the site brings. Ken-Hardin, another IT Business Edge blogger, suggests paying Web 2.0 contributors, much like Google shares revenues with bloggers.
The Financial Times called digg one of the most prominent of hundreds of sites that rely on user-generated content, and said the rebellion shows the "power of Internet users."
It also reports that the company's management did not consult with its key investors before deciding to risk a lawsuit and reverse its position to allow users to post articles containing the encryption key. CEO Jay Adelson told FT he thinks his company will have a shot at making a legitimate defense if it is sued.
"Investors in Digg have really empowered management to make those sorts of decisions," he said. "We understand there is a risk of a suit that's out there but...there is a pretty strong argument that this information is in the public domain."

A friendly word of warning; Don't get floor/standing tickets if you don't feel mentally or physically able to withstand the mauling of hundreds of rabid fangirls, drunks and potheads! If you have history of fainting due to overheating, DON'T DO IT!

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Most cars in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates how hard the pedal is pushed into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.
The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges and overtaking.
The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ETC equipped vehicles, by providing crisp, on-tap acceleration for whenever the driver demands it.
Get more from your car, fit a Sprint Booster now!
- At low revs, the engine responds at approximately half the time in comparison to before.
- The delay time whilst accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear and the engine in the mid-range, is almost zero.
- Big differences in the higher rev range.
- Improved response for downshifts and safer overtaking.
- Overall safety and more fun on the road!

On the autobahn, the car's name says it all. It's like being fired out of a gun. Acceleration in the mid-range would have even a Porsche Carrera GT or Ferrari Enzo gasping for breath. The twin-turbo 6.3-liter motor provides so much grunt that the Bullit already seems to be hitting a stride while its turbos are still inhaling just off idle. When full boost chimes in at around 1500 rpm, they provide so much low-down thrust it's amazing that the big, sticky Yokohamas can contain things, even on a bone-dry road. And thanks to the perfectly matched ratios of the beefed-up five-speed auto, the Bullit's blinding speed-gathering abilities are repeatable again and again.
At 414,120 Euros (including taxes), the Bullit is 10 times the price of a C350 in Germany. When paying Bullit money, you're entitled to a plush interior. Fortunately, fine leather and Alcantara trim is a Brabus speciality. For the incredibly comfortable front seats, Brabus takes a Recaro base and builds on it. The result is a slim sports seat with an adjustable backrest that saves weight over the standard item, but provides much better support.
The Bullit moves down the road like no other C-Class. The V12 motor in the nose and its higher-than-normal curb weight provide a big-car gravitas and poise that belies its modest exterior dimensions. Despite its huge footprint and sports suspension, the supple ride quality is hardly worse than that of the C350 Sport and noticeably more comfortable than the super-handling but firm-riding C63 AMG. And it hits 187.5 mph 8.5 seconds faster than a new Porsche GT2.

"The Bullit catapults itself down the road in a straight line (more or less) with the kind of constant thrust in the back previously thought impossible in a road-legal sedan."

Churchill Downs is finalizing a five-year contract to manage the Saratoga Casino and Raceway and another casino in Colorado owned by Saratoga Harness Racing Inc. CDI is pursuing a 25% equity stake in Saratoga Harness Racing.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has approved a plan to distribute an additional $1 million in purse money from the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund in 2014 and 2015.

Since putting a new marketing plan in place for its Instant Racing games, Ellis Park has seen improvement in the business. The Kentucky track registered record monthly handle for the games at $3,024,776 in May.
Kentucky horsemen expected backlash from Churchill Downs' decision to charge the maximum takeout rates allowed by state law, but they hope positives follow from increased purses that improve the racing product.
In what it says is an effort to maintain daily purses and its stakes schedule, Churchill Downs plans to increase its takeout rate on win, place, and show bets as well as exotic wagers in 2014.
The number of historical race gaming machines in operation at Kentucky racetracks would increase substantially if the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission approves requests from Keeneland Racecourse and The Red Mile.
Ellis Park in Henderson, Ky., is seeking to make changes in its historical racing operations, including removal of 50 terminals that will be sent to Kentucky Downs in Franklin.
If the monthly average holds, total wagering on historical races in Kentucky will top $600 million by the end of February. The devices have been operating in the state for 29 months.
Instant Racing may not be ideal, but it may be all Kentucky gets.
Casinos at five racetracks in Kentucky would generate about $86 million a year for the horse industry, a sponsor of expanded gambling legislation told the House Licensing and Occupations Committee Jan. 15.
A panel of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has deferred action on 2014 racing dates for Churchill Downs and Kentucky Downs to give those two tracks an opportunity to work out overlapping requests for three dates.
As a result of Turfway's decision not to seek September dates, the 2014 calendar requests filed by Kentucky's Thoroughbred tracks maintain the status quo of 2013, with 193 total days of racing and 13 optional dates requests.
Regulatory veterinarians in Kentucky say there is no explanation for a spike in the number of fatalities during the recently concluded meet at Ellis Park in Henderson.
Champion female sprinter Groupie Doll tightened the screws for her title defense in the Sept. 9 Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes (gr. II) on Sept. 3, going a half in :47 3/5 at Churchill Downs.
Compared with 2012, average all-sources handle declined 17% at the recently completed Ellis Park summer meet, a decrease the track attributes to new competition and fewer off-track outlets in the state.

Full-Length Portraits Of An Unidentified Man Woman And Child
In 1861, there were nearly four million slaves in bondage throughout the South, almost half the population. Beginning in 1863, approximately 180,000 free blacks and escaped slaves — more than 85 percent of the eligible population — served in the Union Army and Navy. And in 1865, after four years of deadly struggle, slavery was abolished forever in America. What had started as a struggle to preserve the Union became a war of emancipation without an equal in history for its moral scope~

Summary: In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell; shortly afterwards the two Germanies reunited, and East Germany ceased to exist. In a country where the headquarters of the secret police can become a museum literally overnight, and one in 50 East Germans were informing on their country men and women, there are a thousand stories just waiting to get out.

Director James Cameron has fired back at legal action from an artist who accused him of stealing the plot for his hit film "Avatar," by signing a 45-page sworn declaration detailing its creation.
Bing: 'Avatar' sequels
Gerald Morawski filed a lawsuit against the Oscar winner and his company Lightstorm Entertainment at United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging Cameron had used the subject of his paintings as the basis for the plot of the $2.78 billion-grossing movie. Morawski claims that after selling Cameron four art pieces in 1991, he pitched the director a movie entitled "Guardians of Eden (GOE)," about a struggle between an evil mining conglomerate and an indigenous tribe.
However, Cameron has refuted his accusations and last month filed an extraordinary 45-page document analyzing how he came up with the "Avatar" story, recalling his childhood obsession with science, and even hinting at plotlines for the sci-fi hit's upcoming sequels. Morawski filed a motion to reject Cameron's theory on Thursday and, according to his documents obtained by editors at The Hollywood Reporter, it reads, "In Plaintiff's view, it is no coincidence that, even though those alleged prior works had been in existence for 10 or 20 years, Cameron did not write the scriptment (sic) for 'Avatar' until a few years after Plaintiff pitched 'GOE' to Defendants. In addition, if Defendants had in fact already created works that were similar to 'GOE,' they would have stopped Plaintiff's pitch once the alleged similarity became apparent, and would not have offered Plaintiff a deal for 'GOE.'"
A further hearing is scheduled to take place in January. The case is not the first lawsuit Cameron has faced over the blockbuster: Eric Ryder, Bryant Moore and Elijah Schkeiban all filed suit last year against the director alleging he stole their idea.
James Cameron stole my film plot that just came to me one afternoon while I was sitting stoned on my parents' couch, watching Disney's Pocahantas.
I had a cinematic vision, "What if I were to take this plot and swap out the settlers with mercenaries and the red people with blue people? and call the planet 'Pandora'? and they could be mining for this stuff that's really hard to obtain... It could be called 'Unobtanium'! I could even have the main character get it on with this blue alien lizard-cat chick, and it would be totally cool that he's doing an alien, because I'm gonna make her so hot."
Snatched my wholly original concept right out from under me through, like, telepathy or ESP or some science stuff or something. What a jerk.
