Absolutely perfect!
My entire family traveled to the Catskills for a wedding and this house was perfect for all the different ages and needs that we had. Only 2 small steps to get up the porch (perfect for my elderly grandmother), hardly any traffic at all with a huge yard (I felt comfortable with letting the kids play outside for hours at a time), spacious, well-equipped, secluded but not far from town, was relatively clean on arrival (just the normal amounts of bugs along the edges of the carpets, etc. I don't think this can be helped unless they send the cleaners the day you arrive.) I highly recommend the house, but even if this particular house isn't perfect for you or if it's full, contact Jason & Phyllis at Pine Hollow Lodging anyway, because they will help you find the perfect place for your family or group. I was very pleased with their responses and how they even checked with us during and after our stay to be sure everything was okay. As I mentioned, we were in town for a wedding, and the cupcakes for the wedding were being made at this house- I told Phyllis ahead of time everything that we needed (kitchen-wise) and she made sure it was all there. I can't even say how much I appreciate great service like that, it's hard to come by!
Comfortable, cozy, quiet
The house is comfortable, well maintained and well equipped. While not luxurious, there are luxurious touches such as high quality sheets, soft fluffy towels, and locally made bath soaps. For those who want to cook the kitchen is stocked with everything you need including heavy bottomed pots and sharp chef's knives. The owners and their property manager are also accommodating. They graciously offered to set up the sofa bed in the living room for my mother who has trouble going up stairs.

Armas Järnefelt
Edvard Armas Järnefelt (August 14, 1869 – June 23, 1958), was a Finnish composer and conductor.
Armas Järnefelt was born in Vyborg, in the Grand Duchy of Finland, the son of general August Aleksander Järnefelt and Elisabeth Järnefelt (née Clodt von Jürgensburg). His siblings were Kasper, Arvid, Erik, Ellida, Ellen, Aino, Hilja and Sigrid. Armas Järnefelt was the first Finnish composer to conduct Richard Wagner's operas in Finland. He achieved some minor success with his orchestral works Berceuse and Praeludium.
Järnefelt's music teacher in Helsinki was Ferruccio Busoni and in Paris, Jules Massenet. He enjoyed a close relationship with Jean Sibelius, who was married to Järnefelt's sister Aino. From 1905 Armas Järnefelt worked in Sweden. He became a Swedish citizen in 1909, and died in Stockholm.
On June first 2012 a display of AJ paraphernalia was opened in the entrance of the Sibelius Academy situated in Helsinki Music Center.

It's essential for stylists to carry a diverse assortment of shades of nail polish in their manicure kits, so they are prepared for whatever their clients request, says OPI's Suzi Weiss Fischmann, executive vice president and artistic director—you may also recognize her name from popular OPI colors like Suzi Says Da!, Suzi Skis in the
Pyrenees and Suzi and the Life guard.
"Reds are by far the most requested manicure shade, so I recommend stylists have numerous classic shades of red on-hand," Weiss Fischmann says.
So what are the other musts to have in your nail caddy? We ask the "First Lady of Nails" and find out!
Bridal Beauty
Light pinks are extremely popular, particularly among brides. Some of my favorite light pinks include Bubble Bath, Suzi and the Lifeguard and Italian Love Affair; brides always love the playfully romantic names of OPI's SoftShades, which include Privacy Please, Rosy Future and Second Honeymoon.
Keep in Neutral
Neutrals like Barefoot in Barcelona and Malaysian Mist are favored by those who want a natural look or who work in more conservative work environments.
Trendy Tips
On the other end of the color spectrum, vibrant, vivid shades are all the rage among those who want a bold, eye-catching look; for such clients, it is important to have the hottest, newest shades like Jade is the New Black, Suzi Says Feng Shui, and Hot & Spicy from OPI's The Hong Kong Collection.
Summer Sizzlers
Hot pinks, fiery oranges and other bright shades are always in-demand during summer and among those customers who are about to go on a tropical vacation; such colors look great against a tan. Favorites? La Paz-itively Hot, Shorts Story, My Chihuahua Bites!, Cajun Shrimp and Teal the Cows Come Home.
Dark Divas
Meanwhile, customers who want an edgy look tend to gravitate toward dark colors— such as Lincoln Park After Dark and Black Onyx— and taupes—like like You Don't Know Jacques! and Over the Taupe.
Turn up the Base!
Of course, stylists must use a top-quality base coat so the client receives a longlasting manicure. In terms of tools, it is important to have top-quality flat and round brushes (if the stylist is applying acrylics or OPI's Axxium Soak-off Gels), nail files, nail tip trimmers, cuticle nippers, nail plate cleaners and buffers. Above all else, tools must be completely sanitized.

Hi guys,
We may be moving over to VoIP. We have been offered 2 options regarding powering the phones. There will be around 35+ phones and my question is:
What is the best way to power them? I was thinking with the PoE, if there was a power outage we would still be able to use our phones with a UPS for around 10-15 mins. The downside is if the switch goes down we have no phone system until we fix it or find a replacement.
With powering them from a power brick, If the power goes, no one can use them but one less point of failure.
What are your thoughts on this please?

About The Sprint Kart Speedway - Davenport, Iowa
The Sprint Kart Speedway started out in the early 60's as The Dusters Kart Club and continued to provide go-kart racing on the weekends until the late 80's when the Sprint Kart Speedway then moved to Friday Night racing.
This is the oldest family operated track in the Mid-West. It is a six-turn asphalt track 1/5th mile, which also offers two different oval tracks.
We have run IKF events over the years and have also been part of different series events. Rules follow both IKF and WKA with some modifications set by the track.
This is a local track, which caters to the beginners and expert drivers with one thing in mind- to have Fun! We stress family involvement.
Ages begin at 5 to 75 years old. We have formed special classes such as Ladies Only, Seniors, and Novice Only. The track has made some changes over the years but one thing stayed in place, it is a fun place to attend.
Special events included free hot dogs for every fan who attended the Fathers Day Race and a Celebrity Race which local sports personalities and disc jockeys from various radio and TV stations competed.
The Sprint Kart Speedway races a full season for points capped off by awards banquet at the end of the season, which is attended by over 125 fans and races each year.
Many racers have gotten their start at the Sprint Kart Speedway and moved onto NASCAR, Sprints, Midgets and Late Model Dirt Stock Cars.

i haven't really done anything productive in a loooong time
but i've been working on these love live/monster hunter crossover chibis! it's an odd combination but it's been a lot of fun so far!
another commission i completed earlier in the week!
another commission! yay!
it's for a friend to give as a gift to her two other friends who are a couple and also have their birthday on exactly the same day?? crazy! but really cute at the same time! i really hope they like it !
i'm working on a comic…. of sorts…. with my boyfriend as the writer !
and here's the design for my leading lady! she's a sexy witch, as you can probably see
i will probably not be posting much else from the comic onto this blog… because i have it linked to facebook and that could be kinda awkward
hey, look! more example art!
but yea.. still incredibly poor on my minimum wage in retail so i could use any help i can get to enjoy even a few luxuries like… ya know, eating
i'm pretty open-minded so i will happily draw most things! original characters, fanart, pokemon, ponies, animal crossing. and please note that these are base prices! i'm not gonna charge someone £11 just for a picture of jigglypuff or whatever.
my commissions do branch out from the examples shown here too! i also do digital paintings, something like this one here (slight blood/gore #tw). it'll be £25.00 for a bust and £30.00 for full body.
i will do smut too, but only stuff i feel comfortable with drawing. you can send me an ask to see my nsfw art blog to give you some examples if you like! for solo that will be £15.00 (lineart), £17.00 (flat colour), £22.00 (full colour), £35.00 (digital painting). any other characters could just be the same as the base prices above. i will do slightly cropped and/or suggestive stuff for a little less though :)
i also do animated gifs! i'm a little rusty with my animation skills but it's something i'm working on.the prices for those will completely depend on how much you want done. if you wanted a single chibi character like the one in this will probably be about £17.00! please, just ask for any more information! prices can be pretty negotiable!
payment will be sent through paypal, and if you are interested or just have any questions (if you want anything and you're unsure of the price, all you need to do is ask), just send me a message either on here or (preferably) through email at firstname.lastname@example.com
more examples will be on this blog!
thank you for taking your time to read this and any help would be so appreciated! if you could please reblog this and spread the word around i would be forever grateful too! thank you again!
commission for a-papergirl for her best friend azurefelis, with him and his insert character from his adorable comic birdwrong - reenacting that one scene from my neighbor totoro :D
i really like drawing chibis recently so i decided on a little mini project of drawing my friends in famous anime poses
kati is doing sailor moon's "oshiokiyo" and harley is k-on's "moe moe kyun"
it's a lot of fun and i plan on doing a few more!
there was a number of things i was planning on drawing today
a self-indulgent doodle of myself was not one of them
finally finished this corpse party digital paint!
i think mayu's death in book of shadows is probably my favorite in all of the series so far (not counting the wrong ends obviously). the entire concept of her death in this part is TERRIFYING. and i really hope i captured the absolute horror in her face as she realises her body is literally tearing itself apart.
i can't wait to cosplay mayu too and reenact this scene! aaaaaah
i actually drew this before episode 24??? i just wanted them to live in a world where they can wear cute clothes and have a nice time
and my wish came true?!?!?!
my angels

By Zigwheels.com | June 10, 2013, 12:28 pm IST Cars & Bikes
If you want to see a paragon of space efficiency then look no further than the Honda Amaze but the EcoSport can only have a small child wedged between two adults and that too with none of them being comfortable in the least bit! I think that some of that design flourish on the exterior has been carved at the expense of the useable width in the car as if to reflect on the compact SUV theme!
However, there is ample leg and head room at the rear for two adults but then again the lack of a central armrest plus the glaring lack of grab rails on the ceiling do make us ask as to is this it or is it still WIP - work in progress? I asked one of the Ford boffins at the media drive about this and he also had a valid point - what to do if shoulder and head air bags were to be specified? I think the whole point of his argument was lost because those specifying the air bags would be the rarest of rare - in India that is, but those cursing Ford for not keeping grab rails would send across loud and clear signals, maybe using colourful colloquial language to ram home their point!

Here's an exclusive clip from Thursday's episode of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland, which finds Alice and Will, the Knave, confronting a fire-breathing dragon. The scene was shot on location outside Vancouver at Alouette Lake in Golden Ears National Park. "I love being out here," the show's Alice, Sophie Lowe, told me on set. "We had to start out here at 4 a.m. when it was still pitch dark, but when the sun came out we discovered how beautiful it is. Even though we have to deal with rain and planes, I definitely enjoy location shoots more than our green screen scenes."
During breaks in filming, the cast set out on their own to explore the park's wonders. "I'm from the middle of England with grey skies and no water or sun, so I'm always wandering off into Vancouver's forests," says Michael Socha (Knave Will). "I'm just glad I haven't bumped into one of those bloody bears yet!"
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland airs Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC.

A very usable vehicle with first class comfort and reliability. by TheMoFuWizard from Ontario on 04/11/2012. Trim: 1998 Lincoln Town Car Signature, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Comfortable Seats Sound of engine Huge trunk Towing capacity 4 doors Safety Cheap parts available VERY VERY RELIABLE
Cons: Solid rear axle hops when taking a corner and you hit a bump, just like a truck wind noise at highway speeds steering is vague with little feeling even when the variable steering is fully firm could use more power, but its adequate for the kind of driving this car was designed for Brakes don't feel particularly powerful even though it stops pretty well
Overall review: I bought this towncar a year ago to replace my lincoln mark 8. The towncar is a much more usable car because of the huge trunk, having 4 doors, big back seats(always a good thing) and the comfort. The acceleration is a meh 6/10 but that comes with the territory for a 4200 lb vehicle with 235hp, on the other hand the torque is great and the car will tow 2000lbs with EASE. Comfort is first class, especially being driven in... I especially like the auto leveling suspension in the back which improves stability when towing. The front seats are a little bit more supportive than the back seats, but they are all comparable to sitting on a jumbo overstuffed pillow that grandma used to have. Driving the car is pretty good, the visibility is very good, the engine sounds awesome and everything seems to be in the exact position I would have placed it(except for the traction control button in the glove box). Reliability is outstanding too.

A Very Merry Christmas Groaner
The Department of Transport decided that due to the Health & Safety Regulations Santa Claus must take a driving test before using his sleigh again.
Santa was very worried about this. If he failed his driving test no children would get their toys on Christmas Eve. So he gathered together his elves, wo cleaned his sleigh until it was all clean and sparkling.
Then he rounded up his reindeer, gave them a brush, polished their harness and made them promise to be on their best behaviour, When everything was as ready as could be and the reindeer attached to the sleigh, off they went for the test.
After what seemed like hours later Santa came flying through the sky, shouting...

Putting an exact number on the homeless population is almost impossible. Volunteers are hitting the streets and shelters Thursday to at least get an estimate. The Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County organizes the homeless count every other year.
"We can't be designing and planning programs for who we believe to be homeless we really need to know what the needs are," Lesa Weikel with the Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County said. "With these numbers we can plan to increase services and housing to get homeless people off the street."
Robert McCrary, 65, has been living on the streets for more than a decade.
"Not all of us are bad we need help we need understanding," McCrary said. "We need a sense of value."
McCrary says he appreciates that during the count volunteers interview homeless people and get to know their stories. The people who participate get a free pair of socks or poncho.
Homeless doesn't just mean living on the streets. 8 On Your Side is hosting a phone bank so people living in hotels can call to be counted, as well as those living with relatives.
For more information on the homeless count and how you can help go to the Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County website.

Fic: Shatter The Walls For A New Sun {6/10}
Title Shatter The Walls For A New Sun 6/10
Rating NC-17
Word Count 4,300/37,100
Warnings Note the increased rating. Innocence!kinkish-stuff, but idk, both boys are pretty innocent.
Summary AU in which Blaine was raised by highly religious parents and escapes to NYC with Quinn, moving in next door to Rachel and Kurt. (Alternately: Bible!Blaine meets NYC!Kurt. Shit happens.)
Notes Again, INCREASED RATING. NAKEDNESS HAPPENS. This is basically one really long scene, whoops. Enjoy!
Prologue // One // Two // Three // Four // Five // LJ // AO3
Kurt finally excuses himself to go take a shower after he and his dad have talked for a while, that way once Blaine and Quinn return they don't have to wait too long to start opening presents, even though he knows Finn and Burt still have to take showers after him - they certainly won't need as much time to get dressed.
Kurt walks into the bedroom after his shower already dressed in his charcoal pants and hunter green button down, the skinny black tie coordinating nicely (he picked it out with Blaine in mind), to find Blaine already back, sitting on the edge of his bed. "Wow, Kurt," he murmurs when Kurt comes into view, his eyes growing wide, Adam's apple bobbing as he swallows thickly. "You look … amazing."
"Thanks," Kurt replies, grinning and walking over to him, waiting for Blaine to match it, but he doesn't, he just casts his eyes downward and tentatively traces a finger over the notches at the waistband of Kurt's pants, the invisible line they've set for each other. "Hey. What are you thinking?" he asks, his voice soft and a little vulnerable.
Blaine yanks his hand back immediately, as if Kurt's pants are going to burn him, looking as if he's unsure if he should say anything. Kurt places a finger under his chin, tilting it upwards to capture his lips in a reassuring kiss, whispering, "You know you can tell me anything, right?" when they break.
Blaine worries his lip, pausing before finally saying, "Sometimes – sometimes you look so good I have to actually stop myself, because I want to reach out and touch you. Everywhere, oh, oh –"
Kurt reaches out for Blaine's hands, hanging between them as if he doesn't know what to do with them now that he's pulled them away and slowly brings them back to his body, placing his palms flat against his hips. He leaves Blaine's hands there, feeling his fingertips dig into his skin underneath his pants, reaching up to kiss Blaine again. It's not soft and reassuring like before, but wanton, hungry, and if it weren't twelve forty-five on Christmas day, Kurt would throw Blaine back on the bed and let him touch him everywhere, anywhere he wanted.
"You - whenever you're ready for anything more than kissing, you just have to tell me, remember? Is this you telling me?" Kurt pants against Blaine's lips, and Blaine runs a palm down Kurt's thigh, below the belt for sure, but still decidedly safe. He whines when Blaine pulls far enough away to look Kurt in the eye, pupils blown wide and lips still parted.
"I - I don't -" Blaine starts to say, but doesn't continue, dropping his head and looking down towards his fingers still kneading into Kurt's thigh.
"Blaine, it doesn't have to be some big thing," Kurt whispers, leaning back in to kiss him soft and slow once more, resting their foreheads together. "Remember? Being with someone you care about. I care more about you than anything, more than anyone, and I want to make you feel so good, but only when you're ready. Think about it, okay? We'll talk later tonight, when we're alone, because we really should get back downstairs."
"Y-yeah. Yes." Blaine removes his hand from Kurt's thigh but leaves it hovering just above for a moment as if he really needs to convince himself. "Yes, of course, sorry. Tonight." He offers him a sheepish smile and Kurt kisses his temple before backing away to straighten his clothes in the mirror.
When they head downstairs, Kurt's delighted to see that Carole's been sneaky, adding two more stockings to the mantle with Blaine and Quinn's names on them while they were out. They're filled with candy and silly toys and gift cards, and Finn gets some tiny hand-held Nerf gun that Kurt swears is going to take an eye out, despite being operated by a twenty year old man who was in the army for a few weeks (maybe the fact that he shot himself in the leg is a good indication of his worries).
Kurt gets Blaine more bow ties and thanks to one of Rachel's old NYADA friends who is now a swing for the show, tickets to go see 'Newsies' next month since Blaine has never really seen a Broadway show - at least not on Broadway. Blaine gets Kurt a sleek leather portfolio since he mentioned sketching and taking work notes on his tablet is sometimes a pain, complete with a sketchbook with thick paper and a set of pencils inside. It's the same size as his tablet so they'll stack nicely in his satchel, and while he's explaining all of the features of a portfolio, for crying out loud, Kurt can't stop grinning at how much thought he put into it. There's even his initials, KH, embossed in the corner of the rich mahogany leather.
Their late lunch is really dinner by the time it's all prepared, but it's lovely, and true to form, Finn does make them watch 'Christmas Vacation' followed by 'The Muppet Christmas Carol,' which both Quinn and Blaine have actually seen. There's not enough room on the couch for everyone, so Finn takes the recliner, and Burt, Carole and Quinn all squeeze on the couch. Kurt and Blaine set up blankets and pillows to the side of the couch, near the TV, and Kurt knows Burt and Carole can see them out of the corner of their eyes, cuddling as the movies play, but he has no qualms about any of it. He catches his dad watching them and grinning around the time Clark is stuck in the attic, and he turns his head slightly to grin back at him.
It's after ten by the time the movies are over, and Burt and Carole decide to turn in. Blaine decides he's going to head up and take a shower, and once he's gone, Finn starts to fidget, and says, "I, uh, I'm gonna head out for a bit. I won't be gone long."
The way he's acting, he's obviously hiding something, and the only thing Kurt would care about is Rachel. Kurt sighs. "Tell Rachel hello, Finn. Don't be stupid for once, okay?"
Finn turns back from the hallway, gaping and stuttering, and Quinn covers her mouth with her hand primly to hide her laughter. Kurt rolls his eyes and hisses at him to get out, waving his hands at him to shoo him out the door. "Have they, ah … Rachel's told me a little," Quinn says diplomatically.
"It's a long and tortuous tale," Kurt says as he heaves another sigh. "Enough about them. Did you have a good Christmas? Ohio treating you right?"
She leans over and hugs Kurt tightly as he sits down on the couch next to her. "It's the best Christmas I've had in a long time, Kurt. Thank you for everything you've done."
"I didn't want to ask Blaine in case he hadn't but … have you talked to Cooper today? Either of you?" Cooper's spending the day with the Andersons. Cooper would always have Blaine's back but for appearances, for his job, he'll always have to side with their parents on the surface. He knows it hurts Blaine even if it doesn't really mean anything, but he needs to show up to church on Christmas day with his parents and grandparents like he's part of a big, loving family, and smile and act the part.
Thankfully, Quinn nods. "He called us just as we got out of our service here. They talked for a bit - I don't know what they said. When I talked to Cooper, he acted like everything was fine. He probably won't be back out this way until spring." There's a hint of something in her voice, something that makes Kurt wonder if her relationship with Cooper has always been strictly platonic, and she finally clears her throat. "I think I'm going to head to bed as well. It's been a long day. Tell Blaine good night for me?" Kurt gives her one last hug before heading up the stairs to his bedroom.
Kurt sets all of their presents in a corner - there's a lot of socks. Carole always buys socks, so Blaine ended up with some too, fluffy ones to sleep in as well as nicer, dress socks - before heading to where he has his suitcases set up to pull out his pajamas. He debates changing, but figures Blaine will be back soon and should just wait, setting his clothes on the desk and sitting down on the edge of the bed, checking the messages on his phone to pass the time.
He's all set to get up and head to the bathroom himself once he hears the door open, but makes no motion to move off the bed when he realizes Blaine's walked in wearing only a towel and his sleeveless undershirt. "Sorry, I, um, forgot to grab clothes. I thought you might not be up here yet." He averts his eyes, heading quickly to his suitcase, and Kurt stares at his broad shoulders that lead down into a tiny waist, so much skin at once that could be more, and he has to stop him.
"Wait," he says, his voice coming out shaky as he jumps up off the bed, rushing to Blaine's side. Blaine's chest reveals a light dusting of hair peeking out over his undershirt that Kurt wants to run his hands over and he realizes he hasn't said anything else, Blaine staring at him expectantly and probably weirded out because he's probably naked under his towel and Kurt is oogling. "You know that feeling you were talking about earlier? I feel that, ah, times five right now, did you um, maybe think about that at all? Because you can put clothes on if you want, but I really, really don't want you to."
"Y-yeah?" Blaine asks shakily as Kurt runs a hand tentatively down his arm, shoulder to bicep to elbow to wrist, because he hasn't even seen Blaine in a short-sleeved shirt in months, let alone something this revealing ever. Kurt nods slowly, his eyes still transfixed on Blaine's arm, and he glances up at him to prove his point. "Okay. Okay."
"You sure? I want you to be sure." Kurt brings Blaine's hand to his mouth where he's still holding his wrist and kisses his fingertips, featherlight. It's Blaine's turn to nod and he covers Kurt's mouth with his own, making no mistake about what he wants when he kisses him, murmuring "Let's get in bed."
Kurt untucks his shirt as they move, stealing kisses as they head towards it. His fingers aren't working fast enough unbuttoning the buttons and Blaine is tugging his tie loose, and Kurt could groan embarrassingly just from that. Kurt's not wearing an undershirt, so once the tie is over his head and the shirt is shrugged off his shoulders, he's suddenly wearing fewer clothes than Blaine. "Oh … Kurt," Blaine breathes out, and Kurt sits down on the edge of the bed to pull off his socks.
"Are - are you wearing anything underneath here?" Kurt asks, tugging at where the towel is looped closed; not enough to undo it, just enough to let Blaine know what he's talking about.
Blaine nods again, just barely, looking down at Kurt with hooded lids. "I - I didn't want to be naked in your hallway. I put my underwear back on."
Kurt grins at naked in your hallway, because Blaine is about to be naked in his bedroom. He undoes the towel for real this time, letting it pool on the floor, revealing red briefs underneath. "How festive," Kurt says with another grin, and Blaine blushes as red as his drawers.
"I didn't realize anyone would see," Blaine mumbles, and Kurt stands up, because being eye level with Blaine's crotch is just making his mouth water and there's no room for that tonight. He noticed the outline of Blaine's cock in them when he was down there - Blaine's half-hard already - staring won't help matters. Besides, he's still in his pants.
"I like them," Kurt says, kissing Blaine until he can feel him start to smile. "It's like you're my last present of the night."
"Does that mean you're my present?" Blaine asks cheekily, teeth grazing Kurt's bottom lip as he does it, and Kurt humms.
"Indeed. I could make a cheesy joke about you taking my pants off, but I'm just going to unbutton them, okay?" He lets them fall to the floor, kicking them far enough away so they don't get damp mingling with the towel. He tries to stand still as Blaine's eyes drift down to his own dark grey briefs, letting him stare his fill before he runs his hands up under Blaine's undershirt, lifting it up over his head and tossing it to the ground with the rest of his clothes.
"Come on," Kurt whispers, turning and crawling up into the bed, trying not to stall too much, though he knows Blaine is probably staring at him on the bed since he hasn't joined him. Before he gets to the pillows, though, he feels the bed dip, and Blaine's beside him before he knows it.
"Can I -" Blaine asks, his hand hovering over Kurt's ribcage as he rolls on his side towards him, and he looks up at Kurt expectantly. Kurt surges forward, fusing their lips together, only breaking contact to murmur, "You don't have to ask. You can touch me wherever you want."
So, Blaine grabs at Kurt's ribs, and Kurt grips at Blaine's waist, and he's probably digging too hard with his fingers as they kiss frantically, but they can't keep their hands off of each other, roaming up their torsos. Their other hands are trapped between them, the hardship of laying on their sides, so Kurt nudges Blaine onto his back with his fingers. "Much better," Kurt whispers harshly in Blaine's ear as he climbs over him, and Blaine arches against him as he teases his earlobe with his tongue. His cock brushes against Kurt's hip in the process, and he's so hard already, and Kurt hasn't even done anything yet.
Kurt wonders how long he can get away with drawing this out, because he wants to kiss Blaine all over, so he doesn't delay, hurrying along, down Blaine's neck to uncharted territory, down his chest. He looks up at Blaine as he runs his lips down his collarbone, and Blaine is watching him, eyes impossibly wide. Blaine's hands are gripping him anywhere he can reach, his shoulder, the side of his neck, tangling in his hair. When Kurt continues down, teeth grazing over a nipple in passing, Blaine chants out a steady, stuttering stream of ohs, and Kurt glances up to see Blaine's hands fisting in the sheets, no longer grabbing at his skin.
"Good?" he asks, flattening his tongue against the nub beginning to form, and he sees Blaine biting down on his lip out of the corner of his eye, not permitting himself to answer aside from a quick nod of his head. He brings his mouth over to Blaine's other nipple to tease it, his fingertips teasing the one his mouth just left as Blaine gasps above him. He runs his hands down the hair on Blaine's stomach, still soft from his shower, and Kurt wants to nuzzle his face in it, lick all the way down the waistband of Blaine's briefs, but he knows he's teased far too much already from the way Blaine is writhing beneath him.
Kurt straddles Blaine's torso, leaning down to bring their lips together, and when Kurt pulls away, getting ready to move further down, because he wants to feel his cock against Blaine's this instant, he hesitates because of the way Blaine is grappling at his waist and staring at his crotch. "I - I know you said not to ask b-but, please -"
Blaine wants to touch him. Kurt nods shlyly, nudging Blaine's hand further downward with his own, and when Blaine's fingers cup around him, he can't help but groan and dig his fingers into Blaine's shoulder and lean further into the touch. "Blaine," he exhales, a sigh around his name, and Blaine's hand is squeezing around him and okay, maybe he doesn't have much stamina in him either.
"Here," he breathes out, regrettably backing away from Blaine's hand, but getting them both off will be better, he knows. He runs the heel of his own hand over the outline of Blaine's cock in his bright red briefs, Blaine moaning in response, before straddling Blaine's thighs and slotting everything in place just right. Blaine gasps loudly when their cocks finally line up against each other, Kurt sighing, "Oh, yes," leaning down to kiss Blaine once more and create more delicious friction between them.
Kurt rolls his hips as he continues to lick his way into Blaine's mouth, and Blaine's trying to keep up with kissing back. His hands find the swell of Kurt's ass as Kurt rocks against him, and Kurt growls against his mouth, causing Blaine to grip the soft flesh even tighter. He pulls at the waistband of Kurt's briefs, tugging them down, and panting, "C-can we - can we take these off?"
Kurt lets Blaine maneuver the underwear out of the way, down his thighs enough so his cock springs free, and Blaine just stares, transfixed at the sight. Kurt takes the opportunity to pull Blaine's own briefs down, watching Blaine's own cock as it curves towards his stomach, and he can't stare any longer, reaching out for it and pulling the moisture at the tip down the length. "Oh my … Kurt." There's a garbled moan right before Kurt's name, as if Blaine's trying not to swear, and Kurt bites down on his own lip to hold back a grin. He does the same to his own dick, delighting in the way Blaine watches, because he's pretty sure there's no longer lube in his bedside drawer from when he used to jerk off when he lived here - he destroyed that evidence years ago.
He resumes his former position, rolling his hips back down against Blaine, only this time, no fabric separating them, only skin on skin. He tries to kiss Blaine, who throws his head back against the pillows instead, his eyes screwing shut, so Kurt nuzzles in along his neck. "Kurt. O-oh, oh, Kurt, you feel so good."
"I know, I know, you too," Kurt chants into his skin as he grinds downward. "Don't hold back, let me see you," he adds, reaching up to push Blaine's hair out of his face (he must have really been flustered to go so easy on the gel earlier), and Blaine's eyes flutter open. Kurt's eyes meet his, and for that moment, nothing else matters, just him and Blaine and this moment they're sharing, this moment that Blaine chose to share with him, and before Kurt can kiss him again, his orgasm hits, so different from their accidental moment so many weeks before. There's no hiding now, no shame or embarrassment, just joy and love and, god, Kurt's so shallow for thinking it, but Blaine's really, really stunning when he comes.
Kurt slows momentarily, even though the mess in between them, Blaine's come all over his own cock and up his stomach, is only egging him on. He waits until Blaine looks up at him from underneath his eyelashes, murmuring, "What can I do … for you?" His hips stutter forward shakily again and he can't help it, "Oh, go-" slips out of his mouth before he stops himself, grumbling against Blaine's shoulder instead of finishing.
"Hey, you shouldn't hold back on me either. You really shouldn't." The tone of Blaine's voice is low and pulling Kurt's insides impossibly tighter, and he whispers fuck without thinking. Blaine's eyes grow giant and he surges forward to kiss Kurt and Kurt really should take his own advice more often. "I - I really want to make you come." The words ghost against Kurt's lips, and Kurt gasps against Blaine's mouth as his swimming head tries to form a response.
"Bring your hand back where it was," he replies, whining when Blaine's palm grips his ass firmly. He grinds back against it and then forward again before nipping at Blaine's bottom lip and muttering, "And keep kissing me."
That's really all it takes, because Kurt only thrusts against Blaine a few times before his own orgasm hits, crying out against Blaine's jaw because their lips miss the mark. Blaine kisses his cheek instead, his fingertips digging into his skin and pulling him close as his body spasms and jerks and Kurt rolls off to the side once he's done, as not to crush Blaine, but keeps their faces close to keep kissing him. God, he could kiss Blaine forever. Maybe he just will.
"You okay?" he finally asks afterwards as silence hangs in the air, his face tucked against the crook of Blaine's neck, as his stupid insecurities are getting the best of him. He knows he said it didn't have to be a big deal, but now, afterwards, it seems like it was, for Blaine, for them.
"Amazing," Blaine whispers into Kurt's hair, before repeating it against his temple. "Everything was amazing. You're amazing."
"I - before we got together, I honestly wasn't sure how all of this would work," Kurt says, laughing lightly against Blaine's skin.
"Kurt Hummel, are you just with me for my body? The truth finally comes out," Blaine teases, and his breath ruffles Kurt's hair as he laughs himself.
"Shut up." His head lolls over to the pillow and he brushes a hand across Blaine's cheek. "You know what I mean. Not just this … well, I mean, this too, sure. I just can't imagine sitting in class after class growing up, learning how sex is bad and somehow, still getting to this."
Blaine purses his lips for a moment as if he's trying to figure out how to explain. "I mean, obviously I can't wait until I'm married. I can't even get married in most places. And even then, no one's going to get pregnant, and that's what the whole point of all this is supposed to be, right? Plus, the way I look at it, there's all kinds of things in the bible that aren't relevant anymore. All kinds of messed up stuff, so really, it's up to each person to interpret what's in there for themselves. Most people look to the church to do that, and well, you know how well that worked out for me."
Kurt has nothing to add, so he kisses Blaine's cheekbone and waits, letting Blaine ramble. "Like you said, all that mattered was I was with someone I cared about, someone I lo-"
The air changes, because they both know what Blaine meant to say. Kurt doesn't know if he should push Blaine, because he feels it too, wants to say it, but what if - Kurt doesn't want to think about what ifs. Blaine clears his throat, unfortunately moving on, saying, "You don't give yourself enough credit, you know."
"What do you mean?" he hums, another brush of his lips against the soft flesh of Blaine's cheek.
"That whole story about your dad - Rachel told me before you did. She told me how against organized religion you were and never once have I felt uncomfortable being myself around you. You've never made me feel that way. So when you came to me, worried - I truly had no idea you felt like that. You've always been so welcoming and kind and open-hearted."
Kurt ducks his head and laughs lightly, his eyelashes dusting Blaine's skin, and he murmurs, "What?" He's laughing, because the first thing that popped into his head was because that's love, and screw insecurities. He looks up at Blaine, whose brow is furrowed adorably in confusion and he kisses him squarely on the mouth.
Another leap forward.
"Do you know why? Why none of that matters to me when it did in the past with other people?" Blaine's looking at him expectantly, and he inhales deeply before breathing out, "Because I love you, and if you're not ready to say it back, that's fine, I just - I wanted you to know."
"Kurt," Blaine replies, his voice thick, and he surges forward to kiss him again. "I - I love you too, I didn't - well, it doesn't matter what I thought. I love you so much."
The following week when they get home, Rachel goes to a New Year's Eve party with her NYADA friends and Quinn to one with her Columbia friends. Kurt has invites from coworkers at Vogue, parties he probably shouldn't turn down (and next year he won't), but the allure of newfound love is too strong. Next year, they'll be in a different place, but this year is about starting fresh, starting together, starting out together as one instead of two people drifting along.
They snuggle on the couch, watching the countdown, and climb to the roof of the building at midnight to catch just a glimpse of fireworks over the bridge in the distance. When Kurt kisses Blaine just after what they assume to be midnight, from the cheers and catcalls in the street, he smiles into it, breathing in Blaine's aftershave deeply, and he can't imagine a more perfect start to the year ahead.

October 20, 2011, 2:29 PM — Verizon's 4G LTE network has been available in several major cities for awhile now, and it continues to expand to more regions across the U.S. We've done some early network testing, but now have tried two devices (a tablet and netbook) that integrate the 4G LTE network connectivity into the device:
The scoop: Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G LTE, by Samsung, starts at $530 (plus storage capacity options, network data plans).
What is it? If you're looking for a tablet that's NOT an iPad 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 should definitely be on the list of other tablets to consider. From a technical standpoint, it's got many of the same (if not better) features and specifications as the Apple competitor, and there should be enough apps within the Android Marketplace to satisfy your needs to customize the device to your particular needs.
BACKGROUND: T-Mobile unveils Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in US, braving Apple lawsuit
A quick look at specs: a 10.1-inch widescreen (1280-by-800 pixel LCD); 1GB of RAM (up to 32GB of storage capacity); Wi-Fi; 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor; two cameras (2 megapixel front-facing, 3 megapixel rear camera for photos and video at 720p resolution); Android Honeycomb OS; and the ability to watch movies (built-in Flash lets you view videos on websites that may not play on the iPad), play music and access Google's services and other apps through the Android Market. It's about the same size and weight of the iPad 2, as well.
Why it's cool: The 4G LTE data access from Verizon Wireless gives this tablet a big jump over the iPad 2. While most people will likely be fine with Wi-Fi access only, connecting via 4G LTE offers faster data access and speeds for places beyond what Wi-Fi covers (most of the world beyond your office, home or coffee shop). This can be valuable for in-the-field workers, or for out-of-the-way spots that you may find yourself in. Having 4G access compared to 3G access is a big difference, too: In our tests, we received more than 20Mbps of download speeds on a regular basis within the 4G coverage area.
Grade: 5 stars (out of five).
The scoop: HP Pavilion dm1 notebook (dm1-3010nr) with 4G LTE, starts at $600 (with two-year data contract).

Expect Sunshine and highs in the mid-80s today and tomorrow along with gusty south winds. Another cold front will arrive Wednesday bringing a chance of storms followed by more cold air Thursday and Friday!
The first part of the weekend, the clouds stayed longer than anticipated and the temps remained in the 50s and lower 60s for the day. But yesterday, we finally experienced a Chamber Of Commerce Spring like weather day with afternoon highs in the 70s along with sunshine and light winds. Compared to the recent weather, the afternoon was a little warm for some folks. But get ready; we're jumping head first into the mid-80s both today and tomorrow. But we see another strong cold front arriving soon, and yes, this one may bring another shot of unseasonably cold air back to the state!
The upper air pattern will bring the next strong front into the area Wednesday afternoon or late Wednesday night. The current consensus of model data suggest Wednesday night into Thursday morning, but the timing for this frontal passage may continue to be tweaked with every model run. The last two runs of the NAM indicate this boundary could arrive by Wednesday afternoon. Some of the storms may be severe, but once again the data is also suggesting a strong cap ahead of the boundary. This means most of the precip may be "post frontal" with mainly a hail threat directly behind the boundary. The data also suggests ( to some degree) a chance of post frontal showers Thursday morning to midday across eastern OK.
Now for the colder air. The EURO and the GFS have been suggesting the main upper level low will spin around the central plains and become cut off from the upper air flow. The data has been all over the place regarding where this " cut off low" will eventually find a home. The last run of the EURO is now well north of the state, while the GFS keeps this feature around Missouri and Kansas this weekend. If the GFS is correct, this may keep us in a partly cloudy mix and cool air through early Saturday. At this point it appears unlikely that will see a freeze by Friday morning across our immediate area, but some locations northward across Kansas may experience another round of freezing temps. The air mass should moderate by next Saturday and Sunday.
The official high in Tulsa yesterday was 79 recorded at 5:02pm.
The normal daily average high is 72 and the low is 54.
Daily records include a high of 92 from 1987 and a low of 38 from 1969.
You'll hear my state-wide and regional weather forecasts on numerous Radio Oklahoma Affiliate stations across the state through the midday hour.

The University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7NZ, T +44 (0)1227 764000
We are in the process of introducing a new cashless system. Although we hope to have minimal issues, there will be a small period of time when your Kent One cards may not work for cashless purchases. Don't panic though as we are offering a temporary solution to those affected in the next few weeks. Please continue to re-visit this site for further updates. In the meantime:
The KentOne Card is a multi-functional photo ID card which is issued to all new students on completion of enrolment.
The KentOne ID card desk is located alongside the Student Records team in the Registry
The card will enable you to borrow books from the library, become a member of the Sports Centre, gain entry to the examination hall and participate in student elections. If you are entitled to a meal allowance, or have purchased a meal deal package, you will need to show your card at the till.
In addition, the KentOne Card can be used as a debit purchasing card to pay for food, drink and other items at many campus outlets. As soon as you have registered your card details, our new online service will top up your card instantly and will also allow you to check your transactions and balance details.
Show all|
Where can I use my KentOne Card?
At Kent Hospitality outlets:
At other campus outlets:
What are the advantages of using the card?
Apart from not having to carry cash with you all the time, it is an ideal facility for parents/guardians to credit from home. Card users may also be eligible for special promotions.
How does the card work?
Each time a card is swiped at a cash till the user is identified and the cost of the purchase is deducted, providing the account has sufficient credit.
The card will only hold £100 at a time, so any surplus funds will remain in your account. When your card's balance drops to below £50, it will automatically be topped up to a maximum of £100 (providing sufficient funds remain available in your account).
How can I apply for a KentOne account?
Once you have credited your KentOne card to set up an account, your card should be programmed and ready to use. Please visit the KentOne desk in the Registry if this is not the case.
How do I keep my KentOne account in credit?
To keep your account in credit, you can top up using our online facility.
Alternatively, your card can be topped up by credit or debit card by phoning Kent Hospitality on 01227 827434 or 823979 (9am-5pm, Mon-Fri, during term time).
What happens if my card needs replacing?
In all cases, go to the KentOne Reception at the Student Records Desk in the Registry as soon as possible. Any balance on your card will be transferred to your replacement card.
Opening hours are:
Charges will apply as follows (please note that we are not able to take cash):
For damaged cards - a first replacement card will be issued free of charge and subsequent replacements will be charged at £5 each.
For lost cards - the charge for a replacement card is £14.
For stolen cards - there is no charge for a replacement card, providing you have a crime reference number (given to you by the police when you report a theft to them). If you have no crime reference number, a £14 charge will apply.
Can I get back any unused money on my card?
If you still have money on your card when you leave the University, come to the Registry (or email us) to arrange for the balance to be returned to you.
What happens if money is left unclaimed on my account?
You will have 12 months from the time you leave the University to claim any unused funds.
After this period, we will put any unused money towards a hardship bursary fund set up by Kent Hospitality.
Who should I contact for more information?
Tim Warren is the Accounts Supervisor in the Kent Hospitality Finance team and can be contacted by email.

Cap and Gown Etiquette
- Candidates receiving graduate degrees should wear tassels on the left for the entire ceremony and carry the hood over their arm prior to the conferral of degrees, then hood one another when asked to do so by their dean.
- Caps are removed for the singing of "America the Beautiful."
- Parking Map - As parking is very limited on Commencement day, it is recommended that students and guests arrive early and park in the main lots east of Brookings Hall, in the Danforth University Center Garage, or in the Millbrook Garage. Shuttle services will be available beginning at 7:00 a.m. and will run continuously throughout the morning to pick up and return students and guests.
- MetroLink - please consider using the MetroLink as parking will be very limited.
- Special Needs Parking - The university provides designated parking areas for those who are mobility-impaired across campus on Commencement day. However, because of the tremendous demand on university Parking Services' resources, neither the university nor the Law School can meet individual requests from those with special parking needs. One option for families wishing to attend the Law School ceremony is to drop off guests with special needs in the circle off Snow Way outside the first floor of Anheuser-Busch Hall. Guests can then travel by elevator to the third floor, which provides access to Mudd Field. Please note that someone must stay with the vehicle at all times. After dropping-off guests, the vehicle must be relocated quickly to long-term parking. The closest handicapped parking for the law school will be the top level of Snow Way Garage, located just west of Anheuser-Busch Hall. The university does provide limited golf cart service from designated handicapped parking areas like the Snow Way Garage that day. While it is not possible to dedicate golf carts to individual schools, including the Law School, golf carts will also be available to transport individuals to Mudd Field and to a University stop if they wish to travel to the main ceremony. Unfortunately, golf carts are not able to pick passengers up after the university ceremony. As a result, it is best for families of those with special needs to provide their own transportation on Commencement day. Thirty wheelchairs are available for use at university Commencement and school ceremonies. They may be reserved by calling Rosetta Saputo, 314-935-5669

North Carolina Ducati dealer Hattar Motorsports came up with this Martini Racing paintjob for the 1098S model.
Although drinking and riding isn't something that we recommend, we have to admit that the Martini Racing livery looks just like the right 'detail' if planning to make the Ducati 1098S stand out even more than it already does with the usual paint schemes.
If taking this amazing looking motorcycle on the race track, it will surely be confused with a veritable racer (which it isn't far from being, by the way).
We were wondering when the Martini Racing colors could find their place on a motorcycle because we've seen plenty of championship-winning race cars showing it ever since 1968. There could be no better choice than this specific Ducati model.

Birth Plan?
I put off thinking about my birth plan for as long as possible while I was pregnant. Creating a plan meant I would have to think about going through labor - not something I was looking forward to. But it definitely helped to have a plan, simple as mine was, once I was at the hospital and my labor nurse was asking if I wanted an epidural. (Yes, please!)
Here are a few resources to help you write your own birth plan.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The Bible miniseries portrays 'Word of God as truth, in a straight line'
The original source material may be regarded as the greatest story ever told, but this TV-series effort probably won't rank as the greatest screen adaptation of the greatest story ever told.
The Bible is an ambitious and, of course, well-intended five-part, 10-hour miniseries that premières Sunday at 7 p.m. on History, but like most other attempts to turn biblical prose into scripted entertainment, this one seems as if its writers were somewhat overwhelmed by the challenge of adapting a tale whose scope and historical time span are so massive.
Beginning with a glimpse at the Old Testament stories of Noah, Adam and Eve and Moses and continuing through the New Testament until the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, The Bible, despite its imposing length, is essentially a sampler-style overview of some of the best-known stories in Judeo-Christian tradition.
Produced by the devoutly Christian husband-and-wife team of Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice) and Roma Downey (Touched By An Angel), this faith-friendly production definitely has its heart in the right place. The non-biblical truth of the matter might be that even in this age of sophisticated digital effects, the grandeur and miraculous happenings in the text from Genesis to Revelation are simply beyond the capabilities Hollywood storytelling.
That said, however, Burnett and Downey (who also appears later in the series as Jesus's mother, Mary) do deserve some credit for giving it an earnest try. As they state in an onscreen text declaration, The Bible "endeavours to stay true to the spirit of the book."
What that means, probably, is that this mainstream adaptation will not encounter any of the Christian-community backlash that awaited earlier, more stylized big-screen productions such as Martin Scorsese's 1988 feature The Last Temptation of Christ and Mel Gibson's self-financed 2004 project The Passion of the Christ.
During production, Burnett and Downey shared scripts and sought feedback from members of the religious community and invited church officials to visit the set during filming in Morocco. As a result, the project has enjoyed the support of evangelical leaders in the weeks and months before its prime-time premiere.
Prior to its TV broadcast, The Bible has already been screened several times for large assemblies of the faithful.
In a barrage of interviews leading up to the series' première -- with an emphasis on promoting the project in faith-based print and online publications -- the couple has maintained the position that this is a by-the-book telling of biblical tales.
"There's a calling involved in making this," Burnett said in a recent interview with The Washington Times. "The Bible is God's truth. This series is treating the Word of God as truth, in a straight line."
It's a bold statement and something of a stylistic departure for Burnett, who has gained a reputation as a master of shrewd casting and subtle manipulation while producing popular reality-TV titles ranging from Survivor and The Apprentice to Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and Shark Tank. In reality TV, selecting specific personality types and creating opportunities for conflict are the keys to creating drama and attracting an audience. The Bible's game plan seems to be offering appealing version of beloved stories to the faithful rather than seducing viewers with clever production gimmicks.
If it works, the multi-faceted production/promotion strategy could attract a worldwide audience that Burnett has suggested will number in the hundreds of millions.
The series is basically divided in half, with the first part dealing with biblical text before the birth of Christ and the second part dealing with Christ's life, crucifixion and return. Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado plays the drama's pivotal role, bringing an appropriate level of serenity and unshakable purpose to his portrayal of Jesus.
In episodes provided for preview, earlier parts of the series -- the B.C. years, essentially -- play mostly like a series of vignettes connected by narrator Keith David's authoritative commentary. After Jesus arrives, The Bible takes a slightly smoother and more straightforward approach.
Overall, it's a reasonably well-told series of stories; some segments translate to the screen more effectively than others, and like past attempts to dramatize portions of the Bible, scenes are more successful when they focus on human interaction rather than depending on special-effects interpretations of miraculous events.
As is the case with most religious stories, this is a series that will prompt polarized reactions -- there will be true believers (that this is a compelling, inspiring TV program), and those who remain skeptical (that it's a worthwhile investment of viewing time).

No matter which route they take, one thing became clear during a Friday meeting of the Prison Relocation Authority and Development Committee: The state's main prison facility will likely be leaving Draper.
A consultant hired to help the committee decide if, when and how to relocate the Draper prison presented a preliminary report detailing four options — none of which keep the state prison on its current plot of land.
Brad Sassatelli, project director for MGT of America, told the committee Friday that if they did nothing with the Draper facility, projected growth estimates indicate that the Utah Department of Corrections will still need an additional 3,000 beds by 2033 to accommodate the rising prison population. And by 2018, the state would likely need to build a new facility, anyway, to deal with the population increase.
And if the current prison stays where it is, the aging buildings will likely need to be repaired or rebuilt in the meantime, according to Sassatelli.
"There are some housing facilities in Wasatch and Oquirrh sections that need to be replaced very soon," Sassatelli said, adding that the state would likely spend $238.9 million repairing the facility.
The four options presented by the consultant were:
• Replace the Draper prison by 2018, at an estimated cost of $942 million.
• Replace the Draper prison by 2018, while housing 23 percent of the prisoners in various county jails, at an estimated cost of $856.7 million.
• Phase out the Draper prison by 2024, at an estimated cost of $908.1 million.
• Phase out the Draper prison by 2020, at an estimated cost of $851.6 million.
But Rep. Eric Hutchings, R-Kearns, told the consultants that he'd like to see a fifth option added: Keeping the prison where it is.
"I want to make sure people understand that not moving the prison doesn't mean we're not spending money," Hutchings said. "I think they need to clearly understand there are massive dollars behind not relocating the prison."
If the prison is relocated, it allows the state to sell the 680-acre property to developers to build retail, commercial, light industrial and housing units.
It is estimated that if the state sold the land "as-is," the property is worth $51.3 million. If the state were to redevelop the land and sell it as parcels or pods to developers, it is estimated to be worth $130 million, according to Gary Free, president of Free and Associates, Inc.
If the Draper site is sold and developed, Sassatelli's study shows the state could yield more than $1.8 billion in economic benefits each year once it is fully developed.
But if the committee decides to go forward with the plan to relocate and sell the land, it is not quite clear where the new prison would go. Along with a list of land and other physical prerequisites, Bob Nardi, with the Lewis Burger Group, said it would be important to find a community that embraces having the prison in their area.
"The key factor going forward is finding a community that is a willing host," Nardi told the committee. "One can find a site that is ideal, but if it's in a community that isn't supportive, you haven't really made much progress."
The committee set a Feb. 5 date to continue discussion about relocation, and hoped to have a recommendation to give during the upcoming legislative session at that time.
Relocating the prison was last debated in 2005, when an analysis [by Wikstrom Economic and Planning Consultants] found relocation costs exceeded any economic benefit to the state. That report estimated building a new prison would cost between $417 million and $475 million — far more than the $93 million it estimated the property was worth if put to the "highest and best use," which it identified as residential housing. The study also found there was likely to be little savings from reducing staff because the prison was "extremely efficient as is."
Last year, the Governor's Office for Economic Development estimated commercial development using the prison site could generate up to 40,000 jobs and $20 billion over 25 years.
