Despite a late two goal rally by Edmonton, the Columbus Blue Jackets were able to hold on and beat the Oilers 4-2. The win was not only a bounce back from Wednesday's shutout loss to the Predators, but a direct response to the 7-0 beating Edmonton dished out just ten days prior.
Ryan Johansen got the scoring started for the Jackets at 7:50 into the first period on a wrist shot, set up by Matt Calvert. The goal, his ninth of the season, tied Johansen's career high, set during his rookie season. The Jackets would finish the first period ahead 1-0, with a lot of hockey left to play in the first, the Jackets had to contain the Oilers offense and keep them from getting the equalizer.
Early in the 2nd period, Nick Schultz was sent off for tripping, and 13 seconds later, Jeff Petry sent the puck over the glass and earned himself a delay of game penalty. Bryzgalov stood strong for the Oilers and defended the 5 on 3, but with a little over half a minute left in the two man advantage, Andrew Ference was sent off for holding. Just as the 5 on 3 expired (or with 2-3 seconds left, according to the Fox Sports Ohio broadcast) Calvert sent a puck on net that was redirected by Artem Anisimov for the Jackets second goal.
Some controversy then broke out, as the refs claimed the goal came after the 5 on 3 expired, therefore the Jackets power play was done. Coach Todd Richards believed the goal came with 2-3 seconds left on the 5 on 3, therefore the Jackets should have another minute and a half on the man advantage. The argument from the CBJ bench did nothing to sway the refs opinion, and the power play ended.
While the 2nd period has given the Blue Jackets some trouble, that would not be the case tonight. 10:30 into the 2nd, once again on the power play, Nick Foligno beat Bryzgalov with a wrist shot, assisted by Boone Jenner and Ryan Johansen. Seven minutes later, Jack Skille snapped a wrist shot from the point past Bryzgalov to give the Jackets a 4-0 lead at the end of two.
Starting the third with a 4-0 lead, Jackets fans were hungry for more offense, and it appears that the players felt the same way. However, things started to unravel for Columbus, and the control they had over Edmonton started to diminish. Bryzgalov was benched, and Devan Dubnyk took over in net. Columbus looked like they were forcing things on offense and trying to hard to put more goals on the board. In his post game comments, Coach Todd Richards made it clear that this was not part of the game plan:
My message to the team wasn't to go out and score more goals after the second. I wanted us to continue to come out and play a hard game and make it difficult on them. We went the opposite direction.
Half way through the first, Sam Gagner broke up Sergei Bobrovsky's second shutout, but the Jackets still had a 4-1 lead. But Columbus continued to get off their game and started to take bad penalties. After having only one PP in the first, and two in the second, the Oilers were on the man advantage 4 times in the third. Edmonton was able to convert once on the power play, a goal from David Perron, which made it 4-2. While things appeared that they were going to unravel, the Jackets were able to hold on to the two goal lead and get the win.
Third period aside, it was a good game from the Blue Jackets. However, a bounce back win no longer impresses me. The Jackets have shown several times this season they can regroup after a tough loss and win a game. What they need to do is starting stringing some wins together. It has been over a month since Columbus has had consecutive wins.
Tonight's win over the Oilers will mean a lot more if the Jackets can get a win over Boston tomorrow. It's a quick turn and a road game, but the Jackets need to come out strong and show some consistency.

32 bit Ultimate
Slow LAN copy Speed on Win 7 64 machine
I have 3 pcs on a network with an O2 wireless box 5 as the router.
4GB Thinkpad R60 running Windows Ultimate (32bit)
4GB Toshiba M5 running windows ultimate (32 bit)
4GB HP 8440p running windows professional (64 bit)
Copying a 1 GB file form M5 to R60 takes about 80 seconds with task manager reporting network utilisation of 90+%
Copying the same file from M5 to HP was estimated at around 50 minutes (network utilisation at around 3 - 4%( before I killed it.
I presume this is a setting in the HP machine but which one or is it a MS device to get me to upgrade from Win 7 Professional?
PS I've tried the suggestion in Extremely slow file transfers and network access... which recommends In the Advanced tab for my network adapter, I changed IPv4 Checksum Offload to Disabled. but that actually made things marginally worse
I despair about this M$ stuff.
I read some other posts and tried disabling IPv6 (untick the box) and speeds immediately improved.
So I rebooted and it was still great (same speed as the R60 to M5 transfer) so it is now solved.
Hope this helps someone else

Title: Stranger Danger!\
Pairing: Butters/Kenny
Author: (Hannah)
Artist/Illustrator: (Margaret)
Rating: Mach 5 Smut
Summary: Both Butters and Kenny fall in love on the internet with guys who turn out not to be strangers.
It's midnight on a Saturday when Butters sees an IM flash across his screen.
"you up? i am and i could sure use a hand… since your the one i'm thinkin about anyway ;)"
Butters flushes deep red.
This is exactly the kind of thing people warn you about when you meet people on the internet, and normally Butters is very diligent about knowing who he's talking to.
Butters swallows back his nerves and types, with shaking fingers, "Jeez, buy a fella a drink first."
They met in a chatroom for LGBT teens. They talked and talked, even after everyone else had signed out, and exchanged their personal IMs before they both went to bed in the early, early morning.
Butters doesn't know when it became sexual (or why, considering that neither knows what the other looks like, apart from what they've told each other). He thinks it may have had something to do with Butters amusedly confessing to being told he was a sex addict when he was nine, and this guy (whose screen name is some Sci Fi reference that he's explained to Butters about ten different times) reassured him that it was okay, that people will call anyone anything if it's convenient.
Butters likes this guy a lot.
"i was thinkin about the other nite. i wish i couldve heard you cum."
Butters lets out a breath and shifts under his blankets. He's getting hard already, which is just plain shameful. Other kids his age have boyfriends and girlfriends, real life flesh to grab onto and voices to listen to and scents to breathe. All Butters has is a screen name and a backlog of conversations he can peruse when he's feeling lonely or sexually frustrated.
Which, let's be honest, is most of the time.
Butters leans back into his pillows, "I wish it could've been your hand on me that made me come. Every time I touch myself, I pretend it's you."
"my hand, my mouth… i wanna make you cum so hard you cant even remember your name."
Butters whimpers at the thought, but doesn't get a chance to respond before he continues, "i wanna get you naked and fuckin worship you. id kiss your neck and your chest, and run my fingrs all over your skin until you beg me to touch you."
"Oh god" is all Butters manages to type back. He wriggles out of his pants and tosses his covers back, almost embarrassed at how turned on he is right now. His picture of this guy—tall, blonde, skinny—doing anything to him is usually enough to push him to a pretty hot and heavy bout of self love.
"fuck i havent even gotten to what id do to you yet"
"Tell me"
Butters sits back and runs his fingertips over his erection. He gets harder under the touch, but forgoes doing much more in anticipation of what's being typed up on the other end of this conversation. The waiting is one of the best and worst parts—best because it draws everything out, and worst because what's being said isn't actually being done to him.
"you want me to touch you so bad. so i take your cock in my hand and it feels so nice i just have to taste it. i get down on my knees and run my tongue over the tip to tease you. then i take you into my mouth. your big but fuck you taste so good. i cant get enough of your cock in my mouth. i want your cum in my mouth so bad."
Butters is out of breath by the time his eyes finish scanning the message. His dick seems to like what he's reading, as he's good and hard now, with a little spot of precome leaking onto his fingers. With one hand, he replies, "What if I came on your face instead?"
A few moments pass before he gets the response, "fuck yeah. id let you put your cum anywhere you want on me, baby."
Butters wraps his hand around himself now, typing getting more and more awkward as he gently strokes, "Only if you beg for it."
"please cum on my face. i need it."
Butters would be embarrassed at how quick he is to come. Choking back a moan in his throat, he coats his hand and his t-shirt, which is just great because he doesn't need his mom on his case for that. He comes down for a moment before wiping his hand on a tissue and typing, "You look so good with my come all over your face."
And even if he doesn't really know what he looks like, Butters definitely bets this guy would.
A few moments pass before another message comes up, "goddamn i came so hard. thats how bad i want your cum on my face for real."
Butters is about to type out a response, but this guy beats him to it, "maybe we could meet… you said you live near Fairplay rite?"
That's a recipe for disaster if he ever heard it. He watches enough Investigation Discovery with his mom to know that strangers are dangerous, especially when you don't even know their name.
Butters must still be riding the high of his orgasm, because he types back, "Sure. I'd like that."
They decide to meet at Tweak Bros. tomorrow afternoon.
Butters can't sleep the night before. All he has to go on is what this guy has told him—tall, blonde, and thin. He spends the night staring at the glow in the dark stars on his ceiling, and after a while gives up and starts playing Fruit Ninja on his iPhone.
He doesn't get to sleep until about five in the morning. His mom comes in to wake him up for church at about seven, and he has no choice but to pretend he's sick. He goes back to sleep, and only gets out of bed because he has to pee so badly.
Then he sees that it's almost noon and he falls over himself getting into the shower. He scrubs himself clean, every nook and cranny, more diligent than usual. If he's going to meet this guy, he wants to be presentable to all the senses.
Because this guy… he's made Butters feel so much better about everything. He was scared when he first realized that he liked boys, but this guy helped him see past the fear. They talk about everything together, from movies they love to music they listen to, to crazy things their parents are doing while they're chatting back and forth.
And you know what? The sex may be cyber, but it's about as close as he's ever felt to another person before.
Butters towels himself dry and steps into his clothes—a pair of yellow skinny jeans that his parents absolutely abhor and the t-shirt he'd gotten for helping organize the school's Thanksgiving canned food drive. Not a spectacular outfit, but the shirt hugs him nicely and the jeans display what he's been told is an impeccable bubble butt.
After a glance in the mirror he agrees that yes, it is pretty impeccable.
He can walk to Tweak Bros. from his house. At the moment it's better than driving, because at least a walk will help dissipate his anxiety. He can't help it—even if he's not exactly how he looks in Butters' head, meeting this guy will still be amazing.
The shop is pretty busy for a Sunday at noon. The Tweaks experienced a boom in business a while ago, after they made the paper not for the quality of their coffee, but for the incredibly detailed chalk drawings and painted murals that Tweek makes on the side of the building and on the sidewalk out front.
He's there when Butters arrives, working on a giant swirl of blue and green in front of the shop.
For a moment Butters wonders if Tweek is his tall, thin, blonde friend and suddenly he becomes very nervous.
"H-hey, Tweek," Butters greets, but Tweek doesn't respond. He's too involved in what he's doing to even acknowledge that the world is anything but chalk and cement.
That probably means he's not the blonde Butters is looking for.
He goes inside and orders a vanilla latte, not meeting Mr. Tweak's knowing stare the entire time. Those all have this otherworldly air about them that makes Butters slightly uncomfortable, though that could just be because Butters' parents have always warned him against oddballs like the Tweaks.
Then again, here he is, prepared to meet a stranger in a coffee shop. It's entirely possible that his parents didn't raise him right anyway.
Butters buzzes with anticipation as he carefully inspects each and every person that comes and goes through the front door. Luckily, his latte is still too hot to nervously sip, otherwise he'd be done with it by now.
"Hey Butters, mind if I sit with you?"
Butters looks up and sees Kenny McCormick standing by the empty side of his booth. Tall and gangly, with tattoos climbing up his arms like ivy, Kenny is yet another one of those nefarious characters that his parents warned him against, which is really a shame since Kenny is one of the nicest people Butters knows.
"Sure, Kenny," he nods. "Though I-I am sorta waitin' for someone, so I can't chit chat for long."
"No worries," Kenny sits across from him. "Truth be told, I'm waiting for someone too. Kinda nervous, didn't want to sit by myself, you know?"
Butters hums and finally takes a sip of his latte. It burns his tongue a little, but it prevents him from having to say anything as Kenny pushes his hood off his head and runs his fingers through his hair.
"So," Kenny leans back in his seat. "Who're you meeting?"
"Oh," Butters' eyebrows knit together. He doesn't really like discussing his personal life with people, especially his sexuality, because in a town like this, news spreads like wildfire. He doesn't want any of this to get back to his parents—Yvette Peterson, a girl who was friends with Stan's sister, came out as a lesbian and the whole town knew within twenty-four hours.
Butters refuses to be the next Yvette Peterson, who had to get her car repainted when some jackass kids scratched "DYKE" into the hood.
"Just a friend," Butters finally supplies. "What about you?"
Kenny shrugs.
"Been chatting with this guy online forever," he says. "He lives near here, and I wanted to meet him."
Butters feels all the color drain from his face.
"Whoa," Kenny raises an eyebrow (the one that has the piercing in it, fuck). "Are you okay?"
"I-is your screen name UnderMyBarbarella?"
Kenny also seems to have a moment of dizzying clarity.
"Fuck," he shakes his head. "Fuck me, you're HuffleandPuffle aren't you."
Hearing his own screen name said aloud makes Butters' cheeks burn bright red, and he immediately stands.
"Butters, wait—"
But Kenny doesn't get the chance to finish before Butters is out the door, stomping over a piece of Tweek's chalk as he runs all the way home.
Butters doesn't turn around.
He goes from not really noticing Kenny to seeing him everywhere. Suddenly, he and Kenny go everywhere at the same time—school, the market, the park, he's fucking everywhere.
Currently, he's behind Butters in their computer class. They're supposed to be doing their timed typing warm up, but Kenny seems hell bent on getting Butters to pay attention to him.
The teacher is older than any computers teacher should be, and has already started phoning it in not two months into the school year.
"Butters, you can't ignore me forever," Kenny insists.
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country," Butters reads along with the text he's typing.
"I swear to god, Butters," Kyle says, right beside him, fingers flying over the keys not as he types, but as he guns down Cartman across the computer lab while they play whatever game they're playing. "Will you just talk to him? He's been driving me insane."
"Kyle, will you kindly stay out of our business," Kenny quips from behind them. "Why the fuck are you even in this class? You made an app over the summer because you were bored."
Kyle continues typing with one hand, just so he can flip Kenny off.
It's actually kind of impressive.
"Butters, come on," Kenny sighs. "I just want to talk to you."
Butters' test times out and he turns around.
"About what, Kenny?" he snips. "About how—" Butters can't even finish the sentence, not with so many other people around.
He doesn't want to talk about this anyway.
It's been a week and his insides still feel like they're coated in tar. The heaviness in his stomach won't go away, and every time he thinks about the things he's said he feels this looming regret pushing down on every part of him.
And of course he goes back and reads and rereads their conversations, except now in place of the man he'd created in his head, Butters is now doing all of those things to Kenny.
He's sucking Kenny's dick—sitting on it, holding it, kissing it, loving it—and it makes Butters' throat close up at the thought.
Kenny is a very good-looking guy, even if he is a little rough around the edges. It's part of his charm.
Butters' hand shoots up in the air. "May I use the rest room?" he asks.
The teacher barely even nods, he's so past the point of caring, so Butters grabs the hall pass and dashes to the boy's bathroom just a few doors down. No one's in there, thankfully, so he turns on the faucet as high as it will go and splashes himself with cold water.
Now is not the time to think about how wonderful Kenny would look with Butters' come all over his face.
He turns off the water and braces himself on the edge of the sink, looking up at his reflection only to jump about a foot off the ground.
Kenny's behind him, eyebrows screwed up on his forehead as he watches Butters perform his ritual, and barely even blinks when Butters lets out a scream.
"What the hell, Kenny?" Butters pants. "You're gonna give someone a heart attack one of these days."
"Sorry," Kenny crosses his arms over his chest. "I just wanted to talk to you."
"So you stalked me into the bathroom?" Butters whips a few paper towels out of the dispenser and pats his face dry. He looks up just in time to see Kenny shutting the door and locking it behind him. "Aw jeez… you're not gonna beat me up, are you?"
"When have I ever beat you up, Butters?" Kenny asks, throwing his hood back down over his shoulders. He wears a denim vest over his orange jacket, one that's littered with patches of all different kinds. In the summer he sometimes wears that and only that when he's helping his dad fix their car.
"I swear to god all I want to do is talk to you," Kenny raises a hand. "Scout's honor."
Butters leans back against the sink and stares at the tile below their feet.
"Talk about what?" he asks.
"Well, about how we've been cyber-fucking the shit out of each other for starters," Kenny stuffs his hands in his pockets, a wry smile on his lips.
Butters experiences, for the first time, a simultaneous desire to both punch and kiss someone.
"It's not funny, Kenny," Butters insists.
"Come on," Kenny chuckles. "It's kinda funny. You know, in the small world kind of way."
Butters blows the hair out of his eyes and looks up at the ceiling.
"Well, it was a mistake, obviously," Butters sighs. "We wouldn't have done all that if we'd known who we were talking to."
"No," Kenny agrees, "But why does that make it a mistake?"
Butters finally looks at him then, and feels a strange pull in his stomach at the sincerity he sees behind Kenny's eyes.
"I liked talking to you, Butters," Kenny says. "Yeah, it was kind of weird knowing it was you at first, but… I miss you. And I'm not just saying that, I actually miss you. And I'm, like, so fucking relieved that you're not a middle aged bald guy who brought me wine coolers."
Butters can't help but laugh at that.
"Honestly, if you're not at least gonna spring for Pabst, you've got no business talking to me anyway," Kenny grins. "Look, I guess I'm trying to say that this doesn't ruin anything for me. All it really means is that this really awesome guy I like is closer than I thought."
Butters flushes bright red, and feels one of his fingernails bend back painfully where his fingertips grip the ceramic sink.
"You… you like me?" he asks, and Kenny nods.
"Yeah. Don't you like me?"
Butters nods.
"Then why can't we try it for real, you know?" Kenny looks down at his scuffed up boots. "I… it's hard enough having to like guys in a town this small. If we like each other, why wouldn't we give something a try?"
Butters gulps and asks, "What's something?"
"Well," Kenny shifts, "There was some talk of having your come on my face."
Butters claps his hands over his face and shakes his head.
"Jesus Christ," he mutters. "I'm never gonna live that down, am I?"
Kenny grins and takes a step forward, running his tongue over his lips before tentatively reaching out and taking Butters' hand in his. Then he pulls him forward and cups his jaw in his hands, and Butters cannot breathe. His heart slams against his ribs, drumming against the inside of his ears.
Their lips meet, and Butters seriously thinks he may pass out.
He's had kisses before, usually because someone will dare a poor girl to kiss him, and yes, they have been nice. He's never gotten to kiss a boy before, though. Kenny is gentle, but it feels different than the girls.
Maybe it's because Kenny actually wants to kiss him.
Or maybe it's because when Kenny presses their bodies together, Butters can feel the heat rolling off him and the smell of cigarettes and peppermint filling his nose.
"I wasn't kidding," Kenny murmurs against Butters' lips as he pulls back. "Can I…" he swallows, turning a little pink. Butters can't believe it—Kenny never gets embarrassed about anything. "Do you want me to touch you?" he asks, making a quick recovery.
"Kenny," Butters moans softly against him. "We're in a school bathroom."
"Then c'mere," Kenny pulls him back into one of the stalls, locking it and pressing Butters against the door.
"W-we're still in a bathroom, Ken," Butters breathes.
"Does that mean I can't touch you?" Kenny asks, pausing in his fumbling with the button on Butters' jeans. If Butters told him so, Kenny would stop.
But even if they are in a bathroom, Butters doesn't want Kenny to stop. So he just leans forward to kiss him again, promising, "I-I guess I'll just have to be quiet."
Kenny gives him a wicked grin and goes back to working on his jeans, pressing a kiss of thanks to the corner of his mouth.
It's almost surreal to have Kenny's hand wrapped around him instead of his own. His hand is rough, though the touch is gentle. His fingers are longer and skinnier than Butters' own, and he strokes with less urgency than Butters does.
"Dude," Kenny laughs, "Your dick is huge."
Butters is pretty sure it's about average, maybe a little on the larger side, but he still grins at the compliment and says without thinking, "Thanks, I grew it myself."
Kenny laughs against the flushed skin of Butters' neck and presses a kiss just below his jaw. He kisses and sucks and scrapes his teeth over sensitive spots, and Butters has to try harder than he ever has before not to make any noises.
Then, as if he could hear Butters' thoughts, Kenny decides to put Butters' self control to the test and sinks to his knees. Without a warning—just a roughish wink and a Cheshire cat grin—Kenny leans forward and wraps his lips around the head of Butters' cock, running his tongue through the bead of precome at the very tip.
Butters whimpers softly and smacks his head back against the cool metal door. Kenny's mouth burns where it touches, impossibly hot and soft and sure in its ministrations.
Whether Kenny is teasing or he's never done this before, Butters can't tell. He keeps licking and sucking, but never taking Butters into his mouth all the way. It would be infuriating if it didn't excite Butters all the more.
"Fuck, Kenny," Butters whines, gripping his hair softly in his fingers. Kenny looks up at him, and it's so picture perfect that Butters just wants to frame the moment—Kenny's blue eyes big as they glance up at Butters under pale lashes, cheeks hollowed out and tinged pink, lips swollen and red. He pulls off of Butters and runs his pink tongue over his lips.
"Do it," he says softly. "Please."
Butters lets out a strangled noise as he takes himself into his hand and starts stroking in erratic, hurried movements. It only takes a few moments before his toes curl and his muscles go taut. He chokes back a sob as he comes, all over Kenny's face and his hand.
And Kenny looks like he's never enjoyed anything so much in his entire life.
Butters wants nothing more than to slide down to the ground and curl into himself, to somehow get this feeling to last forever. When he opens his eyes and sees Kenny running his tongue through the mess on his chin, he lets out a barely audible, "Fuck, you're gorgeous."
Kenny smiles up at him, splatters of come all over his face, and says, "You too."
"Oh, my god, are you gonna wash your face?" Butters chuckles.
"What if I went back into computers like this," Kenny rolls to his feet. "Do you think anyone would notice?"
Butters shakes his head and pulls his pants back up, "Not at all."
Kenny lets Butters walk back to the classroom while he washes his face. Even putting one foot in front of the other seems like such a chore now, his knees are so wobbly. Once back in the classroom, no one seems to have noticed his absence… except Kyle, who glances at him with this knowing look but doesn't say anything.
Kenny comes back shortly after, giving Butters this giant smile that sets off butterflies in his stomach.
Of course, it doesn't take too long for Butters' brain to remember just how nice that face looked all covered in his come.
He pulls his phone out of his pocket and texts Kenny under the desk, "My place after school. Parents out til late"
Kenny texts back quickly, "work til 6. cool if I come after?"
Butters sends back an affirmative text and can't think of anything else for the rest of the day. Kenny's delay allows him to stop by the convenience store and pick up a box of condoms and, god help him, some lube.
It's only made worse by the fact that Craig is working the register, and gives Butters this look as he puts the items in a brown paper bag.
"Play safe," he just says, and goes back to reading his magazine.
Butters knows he's red the rest of the way home, but he can't worry about that. Because Kenny's going to come over, and they're going to do… well, they're going to do something. He runs upstairs to clean up his room, even though it's pretty clean. He changes his sheets and makes his bed, dusts off his fan and cleans his windows.
He works up such a sweat that he has to shower, and after he's done with that he gets dressed in his best jeans and a nice t-shirt that hugs him nicely around his chest.
Of course, after all that he still has about an hour of pacing left before Kenny gets to his front door.
When he shows up, Kenny greets Butters with a smile and a single flower that looks like it was plucked out of his mom's garden.
"Hi there," Kenny grins, and without hesitation Butters pulls him inside and crushes their lips together. It's a little too hard, and Butters almost bites his lip, but it's wonderful because Butters gets to kiss a boy.
Not just any boy, but Kenny.
Never in a million years would Butters have thought this could have happened.
"Hi," Butters finally manages when they pull back. "How was work?"
"Okay," Kenny chuckles. "Did you ask me over just so we could talk about work?"
"I'm tryin' to be hospitable, jerk," Butters smacks him on the arm, letting out a laugh. "You want anythin' to drink?"
Kenny just shakes his head and pulls Butters back into another kiss, this one slower and more relaxed. Butters melts into it, breath catching in his throat as Kenny's tongue twines around his.
"I've wanted to do that forever," Kenny admits through a smile. "I'd, like, stay up at night thinking about how amazing it would be to hold you and kiss you and you were right here."
Butters laughs softly and nods, because he's thought of all of that too, wanted more than anything for that boy to be tangible and right in front of him, and here he is.
"Well," Butters fiddles with the string of his hoodie. "Whaddya say I pay you back for earlier?"
An impish grin spreads across Kenny's face and he kisses Butters again, more urgently this time. Erring on the side of caution, Butters pulls Kenny upstairs and into the quiet confines of his room. There they kiss again, and Butters manages to do away with Kenny's top layers of clothing, leaving him in nothing but a long-sleeved Def Leppard t-shirt that looks like it's been worn well beyond its period of use by someone much bigger than Kenny.
"Where'd you get this?" Butters asks.
"Thrift shopping, son," Kenny supplies simply. "Gotta do what you can in our house."
He pulls the shirt over his head and tosses it aside, quickly doing the same for Butters. He never quite noticed, since Kenny's clothes always hang so loose on him, that he's a little thicker than Kenny.
Kenny doesn't seem to mind, just runs his hands over Butters' sides and starts to kiss his neck, revisiting all the spots he hit before and then some. Butters mirrors him, but being that he's never quite done this before, it's all rushing by at such a dizzying pace that he can't quite get a grip on it.
But he doesn't want Kenny to stop. He wants to keep going, to please Kenny and make him feel better than he ever has before.
"You okay?" Kenny asks. He knows Butters has never done this too—one of the perils of getting to know someone under internet anonymity is that they often get to know more about you than you would ever tell anyone you had to meet with face to face.
"Yeah," Butters nods. "Just… keep goin'?"
Kenny nods back, "Should we get on the bed?"
Butters doesn't reply, just pulls him over to the nicely made bed and sits them both down. Kenny takes it a step further, though, and presses Butters back into the comforter. Butters' senses light up and his hairs stand on end, a fire roaring inside him as Kenny's mouth moves down his chest and to his nipples.
He lets Kenny touch him, knowing full well that he should probably be doing something too, but he can't for the life of him figure out what. When Kenny moves to pull off his pants though, he does stop him.
"Get yours off too," he says. "I-I don't wanna be the only naked one."
Kenny laughs and without even the slightest protest shucks his pants and underwear (if indeed he was even wearing any) all in one go.
He's more beautiful than Butters could have imagined, all limbs and skin and bones, sure, but he decorates what body he has with gorgeous works of art. Butters plans on getting to know each tattoo intimately, but all that in good time. What he's really interested in is Kenny's erection, standing proud, pierced three times under the head, and flushed that deep red that makes Butters salivate.
"Wow," is all he manages. "Ca-can I touch it?"
"Please," Kenny chuckles, and moves so he's pressed back into Butters' pillows, ready and waiting.
Nerves roll back and forth in Butters' stomach, but if he's already come this far he may as well go for it. He takes Kenny's cock in hand and gives him a firm tug.
"Ah!" Kenny squirms. "Not so hard, dude. I'm not going anywhere."
"Oh," Butters bites his lip. "S-sorry."
"It's all right, just… take it easy."
Butters nods back and tries again, stroking more gently this time. His nerves are almost impossible to stamp out, even though Kenny reassures him that he's doing just fine and that it all feels so good.
"Kenny?" Butters asks.
"Yeah?" Kenny sighs, tilting his head back and giving a content smile.
"Can we—I-I want you to, um…" he gulps. He hadn't really thought about how to say this. "Can we fuck? Like really do it."
Kenny cracks open an eye and sits up, retaining remarkable composure as Butters' hand moves over him, "You sure?"
"Yeah," Butters nods. "I-I trust you, a-and we do it all the time over chat. I know what goes on."
"Yeah, but that's—ah, god—that's on the com…" he gulps. "Computer, Butters. It's not the same in real life."
"I know," Butters looks down at where Kenny's cock pokes in and out of his fist. "But I want you inside me. I've wanted it for real for so long, and now you're here. Please?"
Kenny's cheeks go pink once again, and he says, "Do you even have condoms or lube or anything like that?"
Butters nods and, abandoning his post, grabs the paper bag out of his top desk drawer. Kenny peers inside and looks up at him, "You really want this?"
Butters nods again.
"Okay, then," Kenny shrugs. "C'mere, let's get you set up."
Butters gets on the bed, erection bobbing an balls weighing heavy between his legs. He gets on his hands and knees, as Kenny has instructed his cyber self to do so many times before, and gives a happy sigh when Kenny presses a kiss to either of his cheeks.
"All right, let's see—ah, shit," Kenny hops off the bed. Butters looks over and sees a slick of lube running down Kenny's leg, and a giant spot on the comforter.
"Aw, Kenny," Butters whines.
"It's all right, dude," Kenny reassures him. "Just a little bottle mishap, no big deal. I got this."
Somehow, it doesn't make Butters feel any better.
Kenny takes his place behind Butters once again, swiping his leg clean and coating his fingers. He spreads Butters open and presses a cool, wet finger against him.
"Yeah, please," Butters presses back, and carefully, Kenny pushes his finger inside.
It's such an odd sensation. Butters has always been too chicken to try it on himself, but knowing it's Kenny makes it a little better. Kenny is nice and gentle and will take care of him, even if he's never actually slept with a boy before.
He has slept with girls though, and Butters figures experience, no matter where you get it, is bound to be useful.
"Feel okay?" Kenny asks. Butters keens and pushes back, swallowing Kenny's digit deep inside him. He loves it so much more than he should, knowing that some little part of Kenny has now been inside of him.
He works methodically, reaching around to stroke Butters every so often and kiss him in strangely intimate places, and soon he's pressing another finger inside. He works in a similar fashion, slower now that Butters can feel the stretch.
When he presses against Butters' prostate, all Butters can do is grab a pillow and whine into it. He never though anything could feel so good, and even though he knows he's rushing, he turns and begs Kenny, "Please, I want you inside me."
"It's gonna hurt," Kenny warns. "I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't," Butters moans. "I'm real tough, honest! God I just want your cock, Kenny, please."
Kenny replies only by adding a third finger, and Butters yelps, smushing his face against his pillow.
"Jerk," he mutters.
"Dude, be patient," Kenny hums. "It's all good."
Butters shifts uncomfortably as Kenny opens him up even more, panting and writhing and occasionally whimpering when Kenny presses into his prostate again.
When Kenny feels like he's been stretched enough, he pulls out his fingers and grabs the box of condoms.
"You still sure you want this?" he asks.
"Yes," Butters nods. He hears foil tear and the slick sound of rubber and lube on skin.
"You tell me if you want to stop, you promise?"
Butters nods, and gets a stab of excitement when he feels the blunt heat of Kenny's cock pressing up against him.
Except then he starts pressing inside and wow, there is no way that anything can hurt this much, right?
"You okay?" Kenny breathes. "You're really fuckin' tight."
"I'm fine," Butters insists. "Just keep goin'."
Kenny follows Butters' instructions, though he does stop every time Butters gasps to ask if he's okay. By the time he's all the way in, Butters thinks there might be tears in his eyes, but at least Kenny can't see them.
Because even if it hurts, Butters wouldn't want Kenny to pull out of him for anything right now. Kenny is as close to him as another person's ever been, and he wants it to stay that way. He takes a few moments to gather his composure before he tells Kenny he's allowed to move, and sure enough Kenny takes the invitation.
A little overzealous at first, he thrusts a little too sharply and Butters almost actually does tell him to stop.
"Shit, I'm sorry," Kenny pants. "I'm so, so sorry. You're just so fucking tight, I couldn't—fuck. Okay, I'm good now. Sorry."
He starts moving again, more gently this time, but still with every move Butters feels like he's being split open. He wonders if girls ever feel this way too, if it goes away and gets better the more he does it, because as much as he likes having Kenny inside him, it's starting to feel like a little more trouble than it's worth.
"Hang on," Kenny pauses. The sound of a cap clicking, and then the cool slide of lube around his entrance, and suddenly Kenny's moves aren't so hard to take.
They're actually kind of nice.
"Goddamn," Kenny rests his head between Butters' shoulder blades. "You're so fucking amazing, dude. I'm so glad I get to do this with you."
He reaches down then and takes Butters into his hand, and Butters is a little embarrassed that he's gone so soft.
Even with Kenny touching him, he still doesn't get back to full hardness before Kenny's hips start slamming erratically and he holds Butters close. It's sticky and hot and sweaty being pressed together like that, but Kenny's kissing him and telling him how gorgeous he is, so it's not all bad.
Still, as soon as Kenny pulls out he's stuck with half an erection and a sore butt.
"Here," Kenny nudges his shoulder and gets him to turn over. Before Butters can even ask what he's doing, his head is between Butters' legs, taking his cock into his mouth for the second time that day.
And even if he gags a few times and has to hold Butters' hips down to keep from getting choked, it's still sort of perfect, because Kenny is Kenny, and he likes to make Butters feel good.
When Butters comes this time, Kenny catches it all in his mouth and swallows it down, which he seems to like much more than Butters ever would have suspected.
He watches, baffled, as Kenny rolls off the bed and discards the condom in the bottom of his trash can. Even if he wanted to, Butters can't find it in himself to move. Instead he sinks back into his bed sheets, not caring that they're all tangled and stained with lube. Ecstasy courses through him as Kenny comes back to the bed and slides up right beside him, pressing kisses into his sweaty, flushed skin.
"You okay with this?" Kenny asks. "Like, me holding you and everything?"
Butters nods and settles into his arms. As their breathing evens out, Butters regains his wits. His parents will probably be home soon, and as much as he'd like to shout it from the mountain tops, they probably shouldn't know about him and Kenny just yet.
He can let this go on for just a little bit, though.
"Hey, Butters?"
Butters hums in response, shifting so that he can look at Kenny.
"I'm glad it was you," Kenny says.
Butters smiles back and decides, "Me too."
Hannah, your writing is always fucking fabulous and the fact that this is just for me — I just can't???? I can't even...

Former Pak envoys to India pay joint tribute to Khushwant Singh
Four former high commissioners of Pakistan to India on Thursday paid a joint tribute to well known author, journalist and historian Khushwant Singh, who passed away on March 20 this year, aged 99.
In their tribute, former high commissioners Humayun Khan, Riaz Khokhar, Asraf Jehangir Qazi and Aziz Ahmad Khan said: "We, the undersigned, have all had the privilege of serving as Pakistan's envoys in New Delhi, and we would like to add our tribute to the late Sardar Khushwant Singh to those which have flowed in from all over the world."
"We have a special reason to do so because, among the many things he will be remembered for, was his love for Pakistan, the land of his birth. Khushwant was a larger than life character. Historian, scholar, journalist, wit and bon vivant, he enriched our lives with his writings and , above all, with his friendship."
"He relished his privacy, but his doors were always open to visitors from Pakistan. In his later years, he avoided public occasions, but always found time to spend an evening at our embassy, provided we followed his strict adherence to time,which enabled him to go home early. He was not only rational about Indo-Pak relations, but genuinely emotional. He took pride in having Pakistanis as his best friends."
"Because of this, we were able to enjoy, in addition to his wit and his wisdom, his fraternal affection. In remembering this great man, we must all continue to strive for the ideals he promoted and the courage, the humour and the total lack of hypocrisy that he always displayed."

One cultural issue that affects GlaxoSmithKline interactions outside of the United States is how a local organization is globally appropriate. This means company officials and employees conforming to that of the way of the people in the particular country, speaking their language fluently, understanding and knowing the culture of the country. Officials not only need to be able to conform to the personal or social norms, they need to be able to conform to the business ethics of that particular country.

As educators, we should have the courage to revisit our approaches to serving all kids, including students with special needs, and be willing to boldly innovate so that we can offer students the support they need to succeed while being challenged.

For those of us who'll never get the chance, what's it like to own a Ferrari?
Carlos Boozer
I'll tell you, man, I was real hesitant to get it because I wanted a Lamborghini. And then a couple of my friends that have them told me that they break down way too much. So I got the Ferrari. It's as close as you're going to get to going fast and feeling free, legally. It's great because you feel the car shift. It's like a real sports car, you actually feel it shift gears. It's hot.
Do you have a drive that you like to do where you can just get away?
In Miami. I haven't found one here because I've been really busy since we've been here. I had a couple days off last weekend, I was trying to find something. It was sunny one day and it snowed the next day and I was heartbroken. In Miami, I have a run that I do, it's like going from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, but it's a different road and nobody's ever on it. Just let loose and have some fun. Plus, in Miami, I have the top down.

Flooded here this morning and school was closed by 11am, caretakers turned the power off without warning !. Serverroom leaked a bit but lucklily no damage.
Down here in Berkshire, most schools are closing early for the summer as we have massive flooding here! I know that one primary school in one of the villages is completely flooded and the pupils and staff are garrisoned in the hall for possibly the night!
Flooded here this morning and school was closed by 11am, caretakers turned the power off without warning !. Serverroom leaked a bit but lucklily no damage.
We were booted out on tuesday afternoon
As it happens the school was also off Thursday and todayOriginally Posted by The Northern Echo
Reasonably sunny here!! Rained a bit last night but nothing unusual!!!
School was ok as it seems to be a bit higher than the street, car parks badly flooded, and we had a flash flood taking cars away on the road by the school. Kids had to be kept back for a few hours.
Houses in the area of the school are still in a few feet of water
My house is luckily on high ground but my garage is badly flooded. Lost a load of old magazines but its nothing compared to what some people have lost
The road outside the school:
Its honestly been one of the most tiring days of my life, feel like I went to work 2 days ago.
Although im just lucky I live close, anyone who had to use the A4 or M4 probably still isnt home
Our server room is 3 feet below ground level... If we flooded, it'd be game over for our rack!
On that note, do any of you keep offsite backups?
Midget: no, but there's an inflatable raft full of DDS4 tapes in the server room ;-P
My wife's school got sent home at lunchtime on Friday as the buildings were flooded, but the roads outside the school were so bad that the Police had closed them, which made going home something of a challenge!
I worked from home on Friday afternoon as I wanted to be there in case it started getting "damp underfoot", but thankfully the water levels stopped about 6 inches short of our front door.
To answer Midget's question, yes we do keep offsite backups, but since the server room is 3 floors up, if that got wet we'd have bigger problems to worry about!
I ask because on my travels up to Thatcham on Friday night, not sure that was a good idea! Thankfully I drive a motorcycle, so traffic wasn't so much of an issue! I used the road past the Kennet School, the road which looks like a river in the images above!
Well, the road was clear, luckily, but getting to the house I was visiting wasn't so much of an easy task!
Youâll be glad to know, after walking halfway there, I got there eventually. Ok, so back to the question âsidewinderâ, is that outside the Kennet School in Thatcham?
Haha yes it is, guess thats given my location away hasnt it!
All reading schools are closing early today for the summer holidays because of the flood warning.
I'm affraid so! heheOriginally Posted by sidewinder
No flooding in our school been a few heavy rainfalls but nothing major - in fact its glorious sunshine here at the moment
We had some flooding, but lovely weather this morning!! Bring on the summer!!

Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood is hinting again that the group will be playing more shows in the not too distant future — and beyond. The rocker and third-time newlywed tells the UK's "Telegraph" that neither he or his bandmates have any intention of retiring — ever — and cites Howlin' Wolf as their role model. Wood says he thinks of the blues legend "plugging into his kidney machine" in his later years and still playing, adding, "you just rock 'til you drop." In his analogy, Ronnie got Wolf's health status right but gave him a few extra years, referring to him as 80-something. Howlin' Wolf died from complications of kidney disease in 1976, at the age of 65 – the same age Wood is now.
Wood just wed 34-year-old theatre producer Sally Humphreys last weekend. Earlier this month the Stones wrapped up a series of five "50 and Counting" shows in the U.S. and UK, which were the group's first live performances in five years. And Wood isn't the only band member to suggest in recent months that more concerts are likely. Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, and the band's longtime sax player Bobby Keys have also made similar remarks. However, the Stones haven't officially announced an upcoming tour or any new dates.
Would love to see the Stones out here on the West Coast! Make sure and connect with me on my facebook page by clicking here.

Heh, well I didn't thing it was a terrible idea :). Sometimes you

there is value in being above-board and stating that we're Nmap NSE

We could use something similar:

Unless someone has a better idea, I'll change it to this for now. If
a bunch of idiots start misunderstanding and thinking it is me trying
to hack their server just because I host the NSE documentation page,
the URL is going away. Or maybe I'll just change it to sco.com or

I agree that it would be nice to have an NSE option argument to set

I was watching The Lakehouse with my little brother.
Him being only three he kept talking throughout the whole movie. I would tell him to be quiet and watch but then I started to listen to what he was actually saying and it really got me thinking. Anytime any of the characters would smile he said "Look they're happy." At one point Bullock was crying and Nikolai said "Patty, look she's sad and crying." He continued to say things like that. When he saw them kiss at the end he asked " Do they love each other?" It's funny sometimes. It's funny how a little kid sees the things around him. Imagine if we all did that. What if we all took everything for what it is? What if we saw the person that we loved and we could be happy with that? No questioning or over-analyzing of situations. My brother does things constantly that remind me of how simple things were at one point. I don't want him to grow up. He keeps me in my place.+

Dream Dictionary
Welcome to Dream Dictionary!
This is a generally good omen, unless you ate the snow, in which case it portends a coming season of sadness. To dream of deep snow or of a snowstorm signifies hard work but with an unexpected big success at the end; wet snow on trees, etc., is an omen of profitable investments. To dream of snow in the autumn indicates unusual happiness; in the spring it predicts an unanticipated material gain; in the summer it means a good business season ahead; in the winter it predicts success after minor difficulties; on the mountains it forecasts important good news. To wash in it is a sign that you will soon see the end of any troubles you may now have; to shovel it augurs help from influential friends. A dream featuring snowshoes predicts a surprise reward for a past kind deed.

An uncertain impasse... no that would be a decided passe, so to speak, clearly not the case. A certain impasse then. A storm bereft of rain, a father sans child, a warrior with nary a cause to fight for. Be yourself, that's society's mantra, but when you don't like who you are.. well, then what?

Morning and Evening 5/9 AM
May 9
Morning ...
Ephesians 1:3
Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings.
All the goodness of the past, the present, and the future, Christ bestows upon His people. In the mysterious ages of the past the Lord Jesus was His Father's first elect, and in His election He gave us an interest, for we were chosen in Him from before the foundation of the world. He had from all eternity the prerogatives of Sonship, as His Father's only-begotten and well-beloved Son, and He has, in the riches of His grace, by adoption and regeneration, elevated us to sonship also, so that to us He has given "power to become the sons of God." The eternal covenant, based upon suretiship and confirmed by oath, is ours, for our strong consolation and security. In the everlasting settlements of predestinating wisdom and omnipotent decree, the eye of the Lord Jesus was ever fixed on us; and we may rest assured that in the whole roll of destiny there is not a line which militates against the interests of His redeemed. The great betrothal of the Prince of Glory is ours, for it is to us that He is affianced, as the sacred nuptials shall ere long declare to an assembled universe. The marvellous incarnation of the God of heaven, with all the amazing condescension and humiliation which attended it, is ours. The bloody sweat, the scourge, the cross, are ours for ever. Whatever blissful consequences flow from perfect obedience, finished atonement, resurrection, ascension, or intercession, all are ours by His own gift. Upon His breastplate he is now bearing our names; and in His authoritative pleadings at the throne He remembers our persons and pleads our cause. His dominion over principalities and powers, and His absolute majesty in heaven, He employs for the benefit of them who trust in Him. His high estate is as much at our service as was His condition of abasement. He who gave Himself for us in the depths of woe and death, doth not withdraw the grant now that He is enthroned in the highest heavens.

After 400 ppm: Science, Politics, and Social Natures in the Anthropocene - A Workshop for Junior Scholars, Open to the public
March 27, 2014. 5:30 pm. Keynote Address: Sarah Whatmore, Oxford University
March 28, 2014. 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. Workshop Sessions.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations now hover around 400 parts per million, a threshold that many scientists and environmentalists consider a path towards the catastrophic. At the same time, scholars in the social and natural sciences as well as the humanities are increasingly engaging with the notion that the planet has entered a new geological period, the Anthropocene, in which the Earth is fundamentally influenced by human activity on an unprecedented scale. As many critical observers have noted, conceptualizing the Anthropocene in terms of 'the human species' acquiring the capacity to act as a geological agent obscures difficult questions about the wildly divergent capacities among humans for both impacting the planet and adapting to socioecological disruptions of the sort now becoming increasingly commonplace (c.f. Chakrabarty 2009, Nixon 2011). This and other concerns underscore the importance of critical engagement with emerging narratives of the Anthropocene, particularly at the present moment as this still unstable discursive formation becomes an influential frame through which to understand and respond to a suite of interconnected social, ecological, and economic crises unfolding across the planet.
Sponsored by: The Departments of Geography and of Women's and Gender Studies, the Graduate Geographers Project, and The Center for Cultural Analysis at Rutgers University
|Location Ruth Dill Johnson Crockett Building, 162 Ryders Lane, New Brunswick, NJ

The Falcons opened the game by marching straight down the field and scoring a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. No worries though – the Vikings got the ball for their first possession and also charged down the field to score. Tarvaris Jackson led the way, going 4/5 with a touchdown and looking very confident. On the TD pass…Visanthe Shiancoe clearly did not break the plane with the ball before his elbow touched down but the Falcons chose not to challenge, a smart move given that the Vikes would've had the ball on about the half-yard line anyway and would've surely punched it in. Adrian Peterson looks fired up today. The run defense looks much softer up the middle without Pat Williams, as we expected.

Use our wine club ratings to find the best wine clubs where bottles cost more than $40
There are so many wine clubs available today that choosing a monthly wine membership may seem overwhelming. That's why we're here! This curated list of wine clubs features wines that cost more than $40 per bottle. Our ratings system looks at quality-to-price ratio, shipping costs, uniqueness, and custom features. Wherever possible, prices include shipping costs, but rarely include sales tax. Be sure to select the state you're shipping to, as not all wine clubs can ship to all states.
Overview: A premium-level California wine club featuring some of the finest wines produced in California.
What We Love: They reward volume purchasing! If you can afford it, by upgrading to the 4-bottle per shipment program you can save up to $13 per bottle.
Could Be Better: It seems like the price on this wine club is a little higher than it needs to be, so dropping it a bit and extending more of a discount to their premium subscribers would make us happy.
Overview: Uncorked Ventures' "Special Selection" is indeed special. We love the careful mix of "big scores" and "unique finds" they feature in this club.
What We Love: We're quite impressed with most of the past selections from Uncorked Ventures, especially as they include some of our favorite West Coast wine-growing regions.
Could Be Better: We'd love to see more content on their website to talk about their wine-selection process, some of the awesome stories from the road, and even their monthly newsletter.
Overview: The most popular varietal for single-varietal wine clubs is probably Pinot Noir but none of the other wine clubs come with the precedent of quality set by Gold Medal Wine Club.
What We Love: They seek out truly special Pinot Noir selections from California and around the world. Pinot Noir is a very fussy grape and we're happy to have them do the legwork for us.
Could Be Better: We don't have any suggestions for what to improve within the Pinot Noir Series wine club. Yay!
Overview: A top-tier wine club designed for collectors and connoisseurs that is sure to impress you and your guests.
What We Love: For a wine club that picks out such excellent wine, they don't need to be so customer-friendly on their extra features... but they are! We can't help but love their attention to detail.
Could Be Better: We don't have any suggestions for what to improve within the Diamond Series wine club. Yay!

Could Be Better: We'd like to see a little more inclusion of hard-to-find wines or undiscovered gems to complement any collector's collection.
Overview: There's a bit of a trend developing among wine collectors where aged wine has become a major theme. This Aged Cabernet wine club is unusual and ought to satisfy Cali Cab lovers everywhere.
What We Love: We like that they bring you a variety of aged Cabernets, at different levels of quality from exceptional to rarified. While your monthly shipment price will vary, so will the different terroirs and winemaker expression of the king of all varietals.
Could Be Better: While we get the sense that you'll always pay a fair price for the wines you're being sent, the price range offered and lack of clear proclamation of that fact makes just a teeny bit nervous.
Overview: Using the same methods and ideas of wine selection as they've used for years in California, the California Wine Club has translated their vision to an International stage.
What We Love: The California Wine Club has an excellent reputation and they've been in business a long time. We like that it's a family business supporting other family businesses.
Could Be Better: We think they should have stayed in California. There are many other specialty clubs that the California Wine Club could have developed and left the International wines to other wine clubs.
Overview: Custom wine club where you choose everything. These special occasion wines deliver amazing QPR due to clever buying strategies.
What We Love: No other wine club has ever, and probably will ever, deliver this level of customization. You want it? You got it. It's perfect for any oenophile.
Could Be Better: We'd love to see a ton more pre-made "personality profiles" to make sign-up at any price a breeze. Also, the ability to buy a case at a time would be fabulous.
Overview: A solid two-bottle International wine of the month club. Consistent value and quality, with thorough tasting notes make this great as a gift or for yourself.
What We Love: A mixed tasting panel of consumers and professionals ensures a broad range of wine drinkers will enjoy their selections, and we are fond of all their many ways to customize your order.
Could Be Better: We're not sure these wines qualify as "Collector" so the name feels awkward. We know the wines are great, and are premium wines, but Collector evokes an elite level.
