Amor Omnia Vincit
~ er ~
Mummsy Wummsy Thumps Sugarlump!
(Note: certain names were changed t' protect th' guilty)
Svenskarnas Dag, Dean wuz fifteen,
th' farm beheld this raucous scene:
Dean's big sis Jill, betrothed t' Jack,
ignored her chores an' sassed Mom back.
Jill, feelin' lazy, waxed quite rude
an' showed one saucy attitude.
Jill licked a chocolate ice cream treat,
in Wranglers, NASCAR tee, bare feet.
Mom scolded, "Girl, hop t' it now!"
Yet Jill, with giggle an' arched brow,
quipped: "Damn it, Mom, don't nag at me!
I'm all grown up. Hell, I ain't three!"
'Twas then Jill learnt, eighteen er no,
that, yep, athwart Mom's knee she'd go!
('round here folks said, this twernt no fun,
"Yer Just-A-Kid 'til Twenty One.")
Jill yelped an' tossed her rich waves brown
as Mom yanked jeans an' panties down,
an' deftly answered Jill's wisecracks
with that danged hairbrush: ten good *SMACKS!*
Dean didn't pause t' ponder why
sweet Sis would squirm, kick, squeal an' cry,
'cause Mom's thick antique maple brush
betimes had made his young tush blush!
Jill wiped away a salty tear,
leapt up an' rubbed scorched chubby rear.
Ya see what spankin's all about
in wet blue eyes an' blushin' pout.
T' make stuff worse Mom, ornery, said:
"Go brush yer teeth an' GIT t' bed!"
an' *SNAPPED!* her fingers. So, that's why
one steamin' evenin' 'fore July,
denied her supper, Jill would lie
abed unfed an' roast in heat
from scaldin' Sol an' red beet seat!
Next mornin', when Jill told Jack that,
Jack laughed, "Dear heart, don't play th' brat!"
Jill so felt th' naughty daughter,
shamed an' shocked by what sass brought her.
Tho she did not know it yet,
that "Time o' Month" she'd truly get
a greater shock. Like all her kin,
Jill's Christian, too. She's Born Again!
Whilst Scripture chides us ne'er t' sin,
'pon th' haypile unwed lovin'
left a wee bun in Jill's oven!
Jill's rump's plump, yet nine months later?
Tummy's round like some boiled tater!
Mom's love caused Jill's chastened rump,
an' Jack's love caused Jill's Belly Bump!
Yo, kids? That happens when ya'll hump,
an' bed springs squeak an' headboards thump!
Ya know Faith Lutheran, Gopher Prairie?
'Twas th' spot them two would marry.
Pastor Jenson called th' Banns
in Sunday's hot air, stirred by fans,
unitin' them two redneck clans
as both kids glowed with joyous plans.
Our lovers in a fortnight wed,
an' I applaud th' life they've led.
Near four years on, th' ol' homestead's
still home t' two like newlyweds!
After almost what seemed like hours, the sound of the front door slamming, and what sounded like three voices, startled the young man out of his sorrowful consideration of his situation. Not being even able to yell, from the gag in his mouth, he nervously waited, hoping that the mailman would NOT come into the room. A moment later, those hopes were dashed, as the door opened in the mirror. Three heads looked in, and the two men, one of whom was a stranger, and a woman with spiky hair, startled him, with what looked like overeager leers at his bottom. They all smiled, and the woman started to laugh. She said to the men. "Let me have him first. I don't want his bottom spoiled for me". The two men left, chuckling to themselves. The woman, dressed in leather that looked real, and dark black, walked into the room, and placed her hand, with long red nails on his bottom.
Smiling, she leaned over to his ear, and said smoothly "Do you know that I do with nice young meat like yours?". Shaking his head, he could only struggle against the bonds. As he watched, she placed her gym bag on the floor, and heard the zipper slide slowly open. As his eyes grew large, he saw a long, black rubber dildo, on a harness, placed on the table. And then, a long whippy tawse came out next. As he watched, she smilingly placed the harness around her hips, and made it fast and tight. Watching her walk around him, the black dildo bobbed menacingly, and she reached into her bag, and brought out a tube of lube. As she watched his arching eyes go wider, she applied the lube all along what looked to be almost a foot of rubber. Now realizing what would happen, he shook violently in his ties, which only made her laugh.
Fetching her tawse, she walked around his face, and rubbed the tip of the dildo in his face, and reached over, and lashed his bottom, right in the middle, with the tawse. As his eyes filled with tears from the pain, his nose felt the hard rubber pressing against his mouth. He kept it closed.
She laughed. "O.K. don't want to make it slick?. Then we'll just get this over with". She walked right behind his bottom, and while leaning forward, pressing the knob up against his bottom, she started whipping his back. As his back screamed from the abuse, he felt the knob sink into the first ring of his bottom, and as he moaned and started to sob, she entered him with half of the dildo. Pressing harder, she forced each inch of that black rubber cock up his virgin ass, and moaned as she realized his ass was untouched. With a full thrust, she rammed it home, making his cheeks split wide open. With the tawse, as she withdrew the dildo on the backstroke, she would whip the tawse up and around his thighs. Reaching with the long leads, to his cock and balls, she started grinding her hips, making each powerful stroke count, and making a cross hatch of stripes on his upturned and thoroughly raped bottom.
As she humped and whipped his bottom, his mind went into a space where he never knew it could. His hips started pushing back against the nasty intrusion. Suddenly, as her moans started keening, he felt a further thrust inside of him, and his cock, started to spurt without his control. She laughed, and reached around and moved her spiked glove hand on his member, squeezing every last drop out. As she withdrew from his bottom, he almost collapsed from sheer exhaustion.
Standind behind him now, she raised the tawse, and counting them all out, laid 50 more lashes across his bottom, with the long strands catching his now gaping hole. As his mind went blank, his whole body raged with pain, and slowly, he sank into oblivion. His body was being ravaged, but his mind escaped.
The last thing he heard, consciously, was her voice. "Now you are ready for Big Tom, and Don". Her heard her derisive laughter as she went out the door. His bottom was a shambles, with his hole feeling like a truck had come down a wrong way street. The clock ticking on the wall made him dread another minute, but the door, slightly ajar, stayed in position.
This is a story that i wrote and am now republishing. 50/50 real and fantasy. Hope you enjoy it.
When I opened the mail that afternoon, after returning from my engineer's job, I had no idea what might be instore for me. The unstamped, hand written envelope, said. Photo inside. Do not bend. I opened it. Inside was a photo of me, sunning in the back yard, idly caressing myself, lazily. I tore open the envelope, and a note dropped out. Picking it up gingerly, I read, with rising surprise this missive:
I see you can now be aware, that your back yard antics are captured in my telephoto lens. I have many more of these, and if you want them back, with the negatives, you will be at my house, tomorrow(Friday) night, at 8 pm sharp. We will negotiate a fair arrangement. I don't want money.
Don the Mailman
My mind raced. This was the smarmy guy that lived at the end of the cul de sac, just down the road. And, his upper deck had a good view of our backyard pool. At first, I thought, no biggie. I would go over there, and see what he had to say, and then maybe shove a hundred at him.
The rest of the week raced by. I almost forgot the appointment. But at 8 o'clock sharp, I knocked on his door. It opened promptly, and there was Don boy, in cutoffs. He smiled, handed me a beer, and said "Come On in". We can settle this like men, right?
So, I walked over to his table, and he had some cards spread out. Want to play five hands of poker, winner take all? He asked.
Sure, hiding my smirk, knowing how good I was at poker. We played four hands. Broke even, two and two. On the final hand, he looked at me hard, and said "This is for all the bananas. The photos and negs are yours, IF you win this hand". What I did not know is that when we switched to tequila and beers, is that my tolerance was not that good. So, after a few rounds of bluffing, calls, and raises, the die was cast.
I turned up Kings over tens. Don had a full house.
So, with a weird smile on his lips, he said.."You've been a good sport. Just go in the back room, behind that brown door, and the photos and negs are in an envelope right on my weight bench". I'll be here when you get back.
So, with no regard for anything, and a slight buzz on my head and face, I got up, walked to the back room, and sure enough, there they were. I leaned over, the bench, since the envelope had fallen on the floor on the other site. As I reached for the envelope, I heard a noise behind me.
Half turning, I saw Don smiling right behind me. His strong arms pinned me to the weight bench, as my legs kicked furiously. He just sat on my back, and took my hands, and pinned them behind my back, painfully forcing them up high. He leaned over, and said "Just calm down. You are going to get what you deserve."
My mind raced. What I deserve? What is that supposed to mean. While I was kicking and wriggling, under his weight, I felt his hands wrap a loose rope around my wrists. Quickly my hands were pulled over my head, and tied together to the hook on the wall over the weight bench. Turning quickly, he leaned over, and grabbing each of my ankles in turn, he tied each of them to the leg of the bench.
Stepping up, he looked at me, tied to the bench, and made a few adjustment. Then with my face down to the bench, his hands moved over my bottom. I started to protest, but as soon as my mouth opened, he shoved some of his briefs into my mouth, and tied it off with a rope. I struggled, but the ropes held me tight.
He leaned over to my ear. Patrique, today is the day you pay for your sins. I am going to whip your ass, and have you for my boy tonight. So, you might as well relax.
As I struggled with the ropes, I heard a laugh behind me. Don pushed his hand up under my waist, and with a quick twist(did not know mail men could be that strong) unsnapped my tennis shorts, unizipped them, and pulled and tugged on them, until they were spread wide between my thighs. "Tch..tch. Can't have these in the way, now can we?" I watched in the workout mirror on the wall, in rising horror, as Don pulled a long knife from the drawer, and proceeded to cut the tennis shorts off of me. I watched as the 60 dollar shorts, were shredded and piled loose on the floor. Don smiled, and with the knife edge along my thighs, did the same thing with my briefs, and held them up on the knifepoint, for me to see.
I could feel the cool air on my now naked bottom, and my wriggling and struggles only intensified. Don would have none of that. Stepping close to my legs, he aimed his large hand at my bottom, and applied 25 strokes on each cheek, with the intenstity only getting higher with each stroke. My bottom exploded in pain and heat, and he picked up his digital camera, and took five shots of my now reddened bottom. My breathing was becoming ragged, from the exertion of trying to get free.
Don smiled. "Patrique, You may be more than I can handle on my own". With that, he took out a paddle from the drawer, raised it high, and with a solemn cadence, applied 30 more strokes right across the tender underside of my cheeks. My eyes teared up from the pain. He just laughed.
"I will be going out for some 'supplies' for a little while. While I am gone, I have a surprise for you". As I watched him in the mirror, I saw a cabinet open, and inside where canes, tawses, leather straps, and a pickle jar, which looked completely out of place. Leaving the door open just enough so I could see all the tools, he picked up the pickle jar, opened the lid, and extracted some sort of root.
Stepping up to my lets, he pushed my cheeks apart, and with only the oil from the root, pressed it firmly into my bottom. As it pushed deeply into me, I felt a sudden warmth, then a searing heat.
Don laughed. "That is my special root, from the ginger tree". "It has been steeping in a special oil of horse liniment". So, when I return, your bottom ought to be nice and tender and ready. Patting me on my cheeks, he turned, and closed the door.
As soon as I heard the door close, I started to do two things. First, to try to push that root out of my bottom. No matter how I tried, the shape seemed to keep it plugged deep inside, where the intensity of the burn was only becoming moreso. As each minute went by, the burn inside my bottom, was matched by the burn on my cheeks. My situation seemed hopeless. I waited, breathing raggedly through the gag in my mouth.
I don't wear pink clothes. As a short, slight, totally unstriking woman I'd better not if I want to be taken at all seriously in the world. It's hard enough already not to look like a little girl without that.
Maybe it's sour grapes, but I don't think pink suits me either. Pink clothes on a little pink woman is just too wishy-washy matchy-matchy for my taste.
Not even much into pink flowers, come to that,
But there is one pink I am happy to wear. That's the pink of a set of stripes from a good caning or switching. Delightful, that's what that pink is.
When I first get to look at the results of a good switching, the tramlines are crimson standing out in relief against a hot pink background. Now that's an excellent colour scheme if ever there was.
The next day the hot pink is gone, alas. But the tramlines are still there, just mellowed to a charming deep rose.
In due course that too fades to little more than a blush (unfortunately to be succeeded by the greens and yellows of healing bruises, but the less said about that the better).
And eventually the site is back to where we started, boring and unadorned - and it's time to redecorate.

Have been to my summer place in the Woods in the middle of Sweden, it was super nice! Sunny Days, fishing, picking bluebearries and mushrooms, big fires going day and night....it was nice! :-)
One night I went for a swim alone. I left the house, walked through the forest for like 5 min, thee choosed a random spot by the lake it was moon light. I was alone, i got naked and went into the water, it was a little Cold but i felt good, cleaning and cooling me down...the i swam back and got up...the my clothing and my bathrobe was gone....complete silence, no one there but me....very strange. I went home, naked through the forest, happy that they had not nicked my new shoes, training shoes, real nice....made Coffey and put on other clothing, told my friends and family but nobody knew anything about it.
Any way, 2 days later at the one and only foodshop in this area, by the fruits, a lady walks up to me and wispers "I have your clothing, only bad boys swim naked, look me up if you want your clothing back!"
When i got to the check out,´i just did see her leaving the store....but when i got to my car there was a note under one of the windowcleaners with a phone number written on it....I have not called so far....
I am no longer seekin "Daddy"... ive just reached that I don't give a fuck part of me n I don't care anymore... if I need discipline/punishment ill deal with it myself like I always have n no I don't mean self spankin... ive always known the only person I can really depend on is me ..anyways... thx for the offers
my life is totally fuckin fallin apart....that family issue had me up all night n out n about ridin around........got home this am to find my poor cat Toby isn't doin very well so called the emergency number for the vet n of course they want to see him.. I have no $ n my partner refuses to spend another cent on him.....I called the vet back n asked if they would pls accept payments but they wont....me bein out all night n havin no sleep n the stress of the issue n the cat too has me ready to either rip someones head off or just crawl under a rock n die........ not sure which would make me feel better...n of course "he" isn't makin anything easy...I just dunno anymore...*whispers*..... I really could use my Daddy right now.................
I was told that I could go out on Saturday night as long as I was home NO LATER than midnight.
Me, being the wild child I am, had some drinks and got caught up playing pool.
I came home at 3 and texted to let him know I was in safely...he was not pleased.
I had to spend all of Saturday in my room and listen to a lecture that both made me want to cry and cover my head with my mattress.
Long story short...I'm grounded and won't be back on here until this weekend.
Hugs and spanks
I'll be thinking about y'all while I do nothing Internet or friend related. :(
I want you to have the best chance of your dreams comming true. Nothing more or less yes i pass people by when no cation is listed
Hello, My Love!
My tuning fork is lightly humming. This tells me you still need that final sign of closure and a loving and gentle nudge to cross that street. I know that sign will be when our profiles finally disappear and these words of encouragement to follow are to be your loving nudge. Please, do not allow any negative emotions to cause you to second-guess what Father has shown us to be good and right. No, My Love. It is all in His good time.
As you step from that curb, you may feel alone, but nothing could be further from the truth. You are taking a part of me with you. It is yours to keep. I am keeping a part of you as well. Even better than this, as your fingers slip from mine you will feel Father take hold even stronger than before. He always had your other hand while we were together, and long before. But I don't need to tell you that.
However, before that moment when we loosen our grip and ask Father to take over, allow me to reminisce with you a bit first. Three years, two months and nine days ago on the fifteenth day of May in the two thousand and thirteenth year of our Lord I found you hiding in the shadows of that masquerade ball and I was struck by you! I admit to my awareness of you being out of the league of this pauper. You, the humble Principessa Testadura, and I, merely the son of a field worker, Sir Mann.
Who was I to approach you? I knew somehow that I may only have one very small window of opportunity to impress upon you my potential so I snuck away from the party and found my way to the library where I did some research on who this elegant creature was that I was boldly about to approach. Just learning that you were from the Kingdom of the Golden Gate, and I from The Burgh of Pitt deep in Penn's Woods warned me of the potential language barrier. Digging further only to discover that your title was a mixture of both Spanish and Italian descent only served to intrigue me more.
Now for my approach... Extending my hand in invitation toward the floor you surprise me as if you had been waiting on me. Me! I attempt to slowly guide you into our first dance but in your excitement you accidentally step upon my toe. In an effort to get us in step with one another you panic and try to run from me. I knew at that moment that you were a very delicate flower and by following you from the floor to assist you in regaining your footing you learned that you finally found the one you had asked Father to kindly and carefully place in your life and a great love was born.
In the days and weeks to follow I learned that you lived like a bird in a guilded cage, locked away in a formidable tower, high above the people. You were fiercely protected by your strong King and a valient Knight who served and protected you by day, but I noticed you were alone and scared during the dark hours. So, I set up camp at the woodline across from your window and I built a roaring fire to light up your dark in an effort to bring safety and comfort to your night.
We did not think of it, but in our thirst for one another we allowed that fire to burn into the morning hours and the smoke was seen throughout the kingdom! The King and Knight had no knowledge of my honor and so in their effort to keep you safe during the day they added chains to your door. How were they to know the demons you battled in the hours while they slept or how I was sent to serve while during their much needed and well earned rest?
This early conflict revealed something very important to you that you tried to share with me, but I was not yet ready to hear. It would be some time until the thundering within my heart would allow me to hear what it was you were trying to gently tell me; Although you found not only great comfort in me but a love like that which you never knew, Father was beckoning you to trust and lean more in Him for support and less on Mann. I think it was a call neither of us wanted to hear.
From the very start you seemed to be the yin to my yang, or I the yang to your yin. We always complimented one another so perfectly, as if by Divine design. Where I was weak you were strong and where you were weak I was strong. In your struggle to submit to Father's will, you tried to comfort me by helping me to see that we both will always be able to look up and see the same wondrous moon!
It was this comforting feeling you had gifted me with that inspired me to look a little deeper into the part of the moon cycle that we share. Here is what I learned...
Tonight, on Sunday Evening, July 24th, our moon sets on my part of the world as it rises in yours! In fact, we will have a nine hour and fifty two minute window in time where we will be looking at our moon at the very same time. As it rises over your Eastern horizon at 11:29PM, and through the moment at 9:22 am the following morning we will both look upon it at the same time.
Now, it will come up earlier for me, and it will set later for you, but that is our window. Not only that, but I did some further calculations and found that at exactly 3:30AM (your time) our moon will be in the same exact position in your Eastern sky as it will be in my Western sky at 6:30AM (my time). You know that I support and encourage you allowing your body to rest at night, but this one time I would like us to kneel beneath that same moon and join one another in prayer at that very moment for us to find the strength and the peace to join in faith and obey Father by giving your core peace and quiet to finally heal after all there years. Yes, we can be certain that whatever Father has in store next is good and far better than we could dream up on our own. So, it is in His will we join together in prayer for, and not that of our own. Yes, My Love?
For a moment it may feel like we are leaping in different and opposite directions. On the contrary, we are merely taking a leap of faith, together, and in doing so we are actually forming the ultimate image of love. It is a love that is faithful, not fearful. We will no longer be leaning on an earthly crutch, but Heavenly wings.
No matter where our journeys may take us, our hearts will always have our love for one another written all over them. I am certain that we will recognize one another in a sea of souls once again, just as we have here. Our love for one another is permanently tattooed on our souls, we can not hide it.
However, before that moment we join in prayer let us have one final dance within our hearts. For this, I did some more calculations; If we were to drive to one another and meet for that final dance there are 2,650 miles between us and it would take 38 hours. Even if we headed toward one another and split the difference it would still be 1,325 miles and 19 hours each! However, if we use the wings of our hearts there are only 2,232 miles between us and we can get there in two shakes of a lamb's tail!
Annnnd, if we meet half way we can cut that down to one shake. That's hardly no time at all! This put us smack dab in the middle of Ness City, Kansas at the intersection of US 283 and KS State Route 96. But, who wants to dance there? So, I selected a quiet spot, under a big tree, next to a creek, just West of town where KS 96 crosses over the North Fork of Walnut Creek.
After that blessed dance, we will part company and fly to our own private place and bare our soul to Father and join in that sacred prayer for His will to be done.
As the fingertips of your right hand slip gently from mine, and you feel Father take stronger hold of your left, there is something I wish to tell you one more time in this world...
You are the greatest gift this world held for me. Ever since I found you, I have contentment, my search has ceased. Thank you for all you have brought to my life. Thank you for your bravery and for being My Cora! You truly fought the good fight and I am proud of you, but it is time to rest. Be happy in the knowledge that no one has ever loved me the way only you could, the way only you were designed to. I will forever be a better man because of you. I Love You, Sugar Pop!
Oh, and thank you for the last one thousand, one hundred and sixty six days! I can't wait to see what the rest of eternity looks like now that I've found you! I may have been the moon to light up your night, but you are the sunshine that lights my entire world!
I am currently available to give or receive spankings from people, preferably women on Kik message. User name time99909.
That's all I needed!!!!.I just got home to find four Officers in my house looking for something, acting like lunatics!!!!! Even in my cabinets, fridge and freezer. They checked under the air-conditioner and inside my bed mattress tearing it apart!! When I asked if they had a search warrant and what they were looking for they answered completely hysterically "Where did you hide it???? We know it's here somewhere!!!!" At least 1000 possibilities went through my mind…..but I thought I would let them search for whatever they were looking for. Let's see if and what they will find!
Approximately an hour later I watched one of the Police Officers look at his phone and then he shouted "Stop it! We are in the wrong house!!!!! Pokémon is 3 doors down!
Psst, hey you!
Yeah, you!
My Love,
Please get your rest. I am having so much fun creating this for you that I'm afraid I will be at it all night. So, please get some rest. It will be waiting for you when you awaken. It was always designed to be ready for Sunday from the start anyway. I love you, Darling.
Your Mann

In Loco Parentis: Anno Domini 1974
~ er ~
Gopher Prairie High Skool: A Pain in th' Hind End!
Brad's woman's Jill, who you an' I
knowed well at Gopher Prairie High.
Brad, too, sure knew them thick brick walls,
them musty rooms an' dusty halls.
'Twas Spring. We'd all be Grads right soon.
Them two got hitched th' end o' June.
Brad snuck t' skool late twice that May,
but jist got warnins, so they say.
Then, come one warm morn, this ain't cool,
Brad trebly broke th' "Tardy Rule."
So, Mister Perkins sealed his fate:
"Report right now 'bout bein' late,
cuz third time missin' Last Bell means
ya git three swats 'cross seat o' jeans."
Back in them days o' Rubiks Cubes,
skools' rules wuz writ by prairie rubes.
So,oft, fer Late Arrivals here,
sharecroppers' kids sure feared seared rears!
(This-here rural county's "Otter Tail"
but shoulda been named "Hotter Tail.")
He'd been eighteen a month that day.
So, Quite-Grown-Up, made bold t' say:
"Whoa, swats? Gee, I ain't takin' none.
Detention's fair fer wut I done."
Nope! Mister Perkins shot back: "Why?
Th' Student Handbook rules apply."
Then, Ol' Man Perkins huffed an' yelled:
Dreadin' Mister Perkin's paddle,
Brad sure wanted t' skedaddle
but knowed gettin' kicked out meant
his mom might dish worse punishment:
drear extra chores, like sweep th' shed.
Then, Zoinks! No supper, straight t' bed!
Brad wished he'd showed on time that day,
but tensed an' shrugged an' sighed, "Okay."
Brad's homeroom teacher wuz buzzed in
t' witness him atone fer sin:
Fine lookin', thirty, lush brown mane.
She went, "Rule breakin' earns ya pain."
Brad bent an' grabbed both ankles there,
an' poked cute fanny in midair.
A young 'un whose done got swats knows
he clenched them ten pink pudgy toes,
an' had to spread legs wide apart
an' hear th' poundin' o' his heart.
He prob'ly wore a flummoxed frown:
he seen th' room flipped upside down.
(Lord knows, Brad got swats more'n once.
It always made him feel th' dunce.)
Stout hardwood paddle arched way back.
It whistled down quick: WHACK! SMACK! CRACK!
There wuz six holes drilled through an', well,
that roasts rumps raw like Flames o' Hell.
Yup, Brad learnt them ain't soft "Love Taps."
They're scorchin', scaldin', scourgin' slaps.
Yeah, rich brats smirk, "It's kinda funny."
Naw, that's 'sposed t' sting ya, Honey!
He fought back 'gainst a salty tear,
stood up an' rubbed hot throbbin' rear.
Ya see wut discipline's about
in big wet eyes an' pissed off pout.
Then Brad got sent right straight t' Math,
pride pangin' from ol' Perkin's wrath.
Worn schoolbook grasped in calloused hand,
I reckon Brad preferred t' stand,
yet eased down 'pon that hard desk seat.
Darn paddle stoked fierce glowin' heat.
Then, all day long, it twanged t' set
right on th' spot th' "Spank Plank" met.
Thumped rump sizzled like 'twas deep fried.
Tho' Brad winced an' rued smacked backside,
Redneck kids ain't ones t' fuss
'bout sore Gluteus Maximus!
Come noon, they served chipped beef on toast.
Brad wryly quipped he'd got "Rump Roast."
A tad bemused, Jill winked: "Gosh darn!
When ya'll git home, sneak t' th' barn.
I'll meet ya after chores t'nite,
once supper's done, an' make this right."
'bout six, their bare feet padded soft
out back an' climbed up t' th' loft.
Jill squirted cool cream on her palm
an' smeared Brad's stunned buns with its balm.
Sweet plumply Jill wuz nonchalant:
she weren't no high-nosed debutante.
Jilly, soon Brad's blushin' June bride,
fondly rubbed his blushin' backside.
Kids like us wuz Hoi Polloi.
Snobs called ya' "white trash," girl er boy.
So? Bein' poor don't mean yer crass.
Young Love don't care 'bout social class!
Now, smacks done bruised Brad's teen boy hide.
But, wut hurt worse? 'Twas teen boy pride.
Brad seen he'd jist himself t' blame.
Jill's soft hand gently soothed his shame.
Brad grinned. His tingly, tender kiss
made Jill one wiggly, giggly miss
stretched out on fragrant, sun warmed hay.
Wut went down next? Gosh, may I say?
Cuz Jill knowed when t' spread her legs
an' not risk fertilizin' eggs,
a sweaty, squirmy, scrumptious hump
made Brad fergit his welted rump!
Raw pleasure, first found in th' shed,
still makes 'em grunt an' squeal in bed.
Folks lust fer fleshly fun, be sure.
Shucks, that's one *thang* ya git hitched fer!

What is 'Intrapreneurship'
Acting like an entrepreneur within a larger organization. The term is derived from a combination of "intra" or internal, and "entrepreneurship." Intraprenuers are usually highly self-motivated, proactive and action-oriented people who are comfortable with taking the initiative, even within the boundaries of an organization, in pursuit of an innovative product or service.
BREAKING DOWN 'Intrapreneurship'
Behavioral characteristics of intrapreneurship include initiative, an ability to "think outside the box", risk-taking and leadership - all traits that are also possessed by successful entrepreneurs. The major difference between entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs is that the fruits of success default to the organization rather than to the intrapreneur. On the other hand, the intrapreneur also has the comfort of knowing that failure will not have a personal cost - as it would for an entrepreneur - since the organization would absorb losses arising from failure.
An increasing number of U.S. companies now encourage intrapreneurship, especially in certain sectors such as technology and biotechnology.

Berry Soup
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
My Classic International Recipes Cookbook states: "Scandinavians consume Berry Soup as fast as the berries ripen. Some people eat this delightful soup with sour cream as an appetizer; others top it with whipped cream to make a dessert."
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or one 16 oz bag frozen berries)
- 2 cups apple juice
- 6 inches cinnamon sticks
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- whipped cream or sour cream
- Clean the berries, if fresh. (Or thaw berries, if frozen). In a sauce pan combine berries, 1 3/4 cups of the apple juice, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Combine the remaining apple juice and the cornstarch; stir into the berry mixture. Cook and stir till slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Remove and discard the stick cinnamon and whole cloves.
- Spoon into 4 individual serving bowls. Garnish with whipped cream or sour cream, if desired.

Editorial Reviews
Children's Literature - Gisela JerniganWhen 12-year-old Wren Taylor moves west in 1854 to live at Fort Massachusetts, in what is now southwest Colorado, she had to make many adjustment to her new surroundings and life-style. Since her physician father and pregnant mother were often occupied with their own work and concerns, Wren often felt lonely and alienated from the mostly unfriendly children in her new, one-room school. This changed as Wren met and gradually overcame her prejudices to become friends with Luther, a blind Ute student, who taught her that there are many ways to see and appreciate her new environment. When she hears that soldiers are preparing to attack Luther's peaceful band, she is forced to make a difficult and dangerous decision. The novel is written in the first person, from Wren's point of view, using a rather formal but poetic style. A Foreword and Author's Note on the historical background and a Further Reading section are included.
School Library JournalGr 4-6--In 1854, 12-year-old Wren Taylor and her parents travel from Boston to her father's new medical post, Fort Massachusetts, in New Mexico territory. Unsure around other children, Wren gradually befriends Luther, a blind Ute sent to the fort's school to learn English. Together, the friends explore the territory, learning about one another's culture in the process. When tensions between the settlers and the Utes arise, the courageous Wren must decide where her true loyalties lie. The author provides an accurate, fair portrayal of white and Native American characters. A few historical facts have been rearranged for storytelling purposes, but the author has poured a lot of research into a simple telling. Prejudices of the time are incorporated, including the military caste system, but no characters are seen as right or wrong. Wren often seems older than her years, frequently foreshadowing events with her dire predictions. The Ute culture is sympathetically portrayed, although some readers may question the abilities shown by Luther. An easy, worthwhile read that's sure to start discussions of loyalty and the obligations of friendship.--Mary B. McCarthy, Windsor Severance Library District, CO

No one really gives a damn when a new PC manufacturer enters the market selling its own-branded Windows computer. The launches of Wizard Micro, Delta Desktops and Lasco laptops do not set the web's blogs alight.
They're just another bunch of plastic/metal boxes running standard components, initially put together by a small bunch of grunts under some railway arches. It will be cheap – probably so cheap that the company will go bust as soon as it tries to market itself.
But it's a very different matter when there's a new company making and selling Macs, and – after 11 years without anyone but Apple in the market – there's a new player in town; although possibly not by the time you're reading this…
Psystar - based in Miami - claims its new computer will run Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It even calls its Open Computer "The Smart Alternative to an Apple".
"Why spend $1,999 to get the least expensive Apple computer with a decent video card when you can pay less than a fourth of that for an equivalent sleek and small form-factor desktop with the same hardware," boasts Psystar.
The basic configuration of the Open Computer costs just US$399 for 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, 20x DVD writer and 250GB hard drive. That price doesn't include Leopard itself, Wi-Fi, or even a mouse and keyboard. Add these and the price rises to $740. Oh, and no iLife – add that and the price goes up again to $820.
(Sorry for all the US$ prices but the Open Computer isn't available in the UK, and I really doubt it ever will be.)
Apple's cheapest desktop is the diminutive Mac mini, which comes with a 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB memory, and a 80GB hard drive – at a price of $599, plus $98 for keyboard and mouse, so more like $700.
While the Mac mini is $120 cheaper than the Open Computer, its technical specs are lower. The processor is a little slower, but probably not enough to worry most low-end users. Having only half the memory will certainly make a difference, and Apple would charge you $100 more to reach the 2GB offered by Psystar, taking the configured mini to nearly $800 – very close to the price of the Open Computer. The hard drive is three times the size of the Mac mini's, and in a world of 160GB iPods, an 80GB disk is rather lame.
(We tested the Open Computer and found the Psystar to be 28 percent faster than the high-end Mac mini and 8 per cent slower than the low end iMac.)
But the key to the real appeal of the Open Computer is its extensibility. Unlike the Mac mini it can be configured with an optional fully fledged 256MB nVidia GeForce 8600 video card for improved graphics performance and "drastically improved performance in gaming". Oh, and you can get it in Black/Silver, Black or White.
Windows PCs have always been popular with gamers and geeks who like to be able to modify (or "mod" if you want the whole exercise to appear cool) their computers to gain that extra ounce of power they need to play the latest graphics-heavy entertainment titles, or just make their machines look bangin', with flashing lights and go-faster stripes. With an Apple computer all you can do is whack on the white Apple logo sticker.
Psystar is effectively offering to fill the yawning gap in Apple's Mac line-up – for a mid-level upgradeable computer that offers more than the Mac mini but is cheaper and more adaptable than the iMac (iMac prices start at $1,300 for a model with 2GB RAM, but also a rather nice 20-inch display, don't forget).
I don't expect many diehard Mac users to be queuing up to buy the Open Computer, but it's not aimed at people wanting to upgrade their old G4s and G5s. Psystar has its eyes on a much larger market – one that Apple itself is rather keen to get its hands on: disgruntled or curious Windows switchers.
These guys don't care that the Open Computer is ugly and will clash with a third-party keyboard and mouse. But they are very price conscious, and may be reluctant to pay a premium for aesthetics. (Yes, Mac prices are more in line with Windows PCs these days, but, as the above example proves, this can be at a compromise of power and storage.)
Psystar also offers an OpenPro Computer, which is better looking (as far as I can tell from the company's shiny pictures) and starts at $1,425 with keyboard/mouse, Wi-Fi, Leopard and iLife included. Apple's Mac Pro is much more powerful but prices start at $2,799. This is possibly attractive where a Mac user who doesn't want the (albeit attractive) limitations of the iMac but can't afford the giant jump to the Mac Pro.
Finding buyers for its computer is probably the least of Psystar's problems. Apple's end user licence agreement for Mac OS X states that "You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labelled computer, or to enable others to do so." And Apple's lawyers like to shake about the bloody remnants of their victims after gorging on their entrails. And, as the company has shown with its attacks on iPhone hackers, it can disable non-Apple hacks with a simple free software download. Mac OS X 10.5.3 could quite easily "brick" Psystar's systems.
Back in 1995 Apple did grudgingly and belatedly allow certain manufacturers to sell their own Macs. Power Computing was the most popular (and fun), and there were others such as Motorola, Radius, DayStar, and Umax. UK reseller Computer Warehouse produced a range named after cities, and even played around with different colours – years before Apple unveiled the iMac (itself dreamed up by a toilet designer from Chingford).
But after cruelly bringing down his axe on the Newton MessagePad newly returned Apple honcho Steve Jobs swiftly chopped the Mac clone project – significantly before the launch of the iMac and delayed release of OS X. The cloners merely took buyers from Apple rather than growing the market, leaving Apple with the R&D bill and fewer customers.
So if Apple is likely to pounce on Psystar, strangling its cheaper Leopard computers at birth, what are the guys in Miami thinking about? I hate to be a cynic, but maybe all the publicity will attract the Linux and Windows customers who can also install their favoured operating systems on the Open Computer. It wouldn't be the first time poking a stick at Apple got the desired reaction of free publicity in all the media frenzy.

Bullshit, you'll just get punished worse than the bully. Nothing like an administrative and potentially criminal record for defending yourself. Ender's Game is not how the world works at this level. Try back when you're in corporate America, or be more crafty to begin with.

Product Description
Product Description
If you have experienced any difficulty playing your Trinity and Beyond DVD on a DVD-Rom, please call Goldhil Home Media at 1-800-250-8760.
In the salad days of nuclear-weapons testing, the United States detonated 331 atomic, hydrogen, and thermonuclear bombs. Many of those explosions appear in Trinity and Beyond, which utilizes a lot of declassified footage, most of it in color. Standouts include the United States' South Pacific detonation of an atom bomb 90 feet below the water to study the effects on a fleet of ships. Surprise, surprise, they sink! If that wasn't enough, the navy also loaded the decks with sheep to study the effects of the blast on life forms. Surprise, surprise, they die! Glowing leg of lamb anyone? This film will alternately amuse and horrify you at the rampant irresponsibility of the Soviets and Americans in their quest for nuclear domination. The Russians have the honor of having detonated the largest nuclear bomb ever at a whopping 58 megatons. The Hiroshima bomb was barely a kiloton. Of course, after the U.S. and Russia ceased their activities, the Chinese decided to get in on the act. But that's a different story for a different documentary. --Kristian St. Clair --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.See all Product Description

There were some things in the film I didn't like at all. At two parts in the film, they show nuclear testing on animals, and it is quite horrific seeing these goats, pigs, etc. being chained up and slowly dying. It is very awful and not for the squemish. They also showed victims of Hiroshima, but it wasn't nearly as graphic as the animal scenes. Also, the 3D section at the end of the video is very disappointing. It is mostly narration and only shows one or two explosions, and the 3D effect with the glasses does not work at all.
Please note: I purchased the VHS version, not DVD.
This is more of a series of old films of the time. No secrets or details are exposed. This is a good movie and never promised too may technical details.
There is just as much left out as left in to get through the subject in 93 minutes to describe U.S. detonated 331 atomic devices.
It is however a fairly complete historical documentary without a log of sound bites presentations. I personally did not notice the background music (Preformed by The Moscow Symphony Orchestra) as we get this noise with just about every production now days. However it seems to have been just as much a character as the narrator in defending the mood of the viewer. However towards the end we did get a good clip from "Where the Boys Are" sung by Connie Francis.
If you do not recognize the narrator's voice it is of William Shatner.
We get some food footage of a young and an old Edward Teller (1908-2003). Along with this is footage of other people significant to the story.
Capabilities of Atomic Weapons FM 23-200
Capabilities of Nuclear Weapons - Defense Nuclear Agency Effects Manual Number One, Part Two, Section Two, Damage Criteria - Injuries, EMP, Materials, Equipment (Effects of Nuclear Weapons Series)
But what really made me sit up and pay attention was the tests done later and with more and more powerful devices. Our first Hydrogen Bomb didn't even look like a bomb, but more like a refinery building in Wilmington. Then the USSR built a super-duper 50 megaton bomb that was air transportable and the film of it dropping from a bomber was very sobering. I don't know how the producers got a hold of that film, but I found myself on the edge of my seat.
But even more sobering are the last scenes showing China's nuclear test and how they would follow up with cavalry (horses wearing gas masks no less). The editing did seem a bit contrived but coupled with William Shatner's excellent narration prompted me to run that part again two more times. Then, after putting the disk back in its case, I pulled my M-1 Garands out of the gun cabinet and cleaned them.

Hi, this one is driving me nuts, hopefully there is an easy answer.
agent = '@Agent.user_name@';
validAgent = "mark e-mail address";
document.write("
'" + agent.length + "," + validAgent.length + "'
");
document.write("
'" + agent + "', '" + validAgent + "'
");
this prints,
17, 19
"mark e-mail address", "mark e-mail address"
so the first string length appears to be wrong?
if(agent == validAgent) <-- this fails
So, I can see that agent is being set to "mark e-mail address", because I print it out, but it is like the code is still seeing agent as '@Agent.user_name@'.
I hope this is clear?
Any thoughts?
many thanks

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Alabama OT D.J. Fluker is "one of true rising players in draft." Fluker is already considered to be a first-round pick by many, but there has been some questions regarding whether or not he's capable of playing offensive tackle at the next level. Some believe his lack of athleticism and overall size could force him to play guard instead. With that being said, most have Fluker projected as a right tackle, which means he could be an option for teams like the Bears and Bengals towards the middle of round one. We have Fluker listed as our No. 25 player in our recently updated 2013 Big Board. The post Alabama OT D.J. Fluker Rising Up Draft Boards? appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

One usually wouldn't expect trouble at a one-legged charity football match between Belgium and the Netherlands.
But that's exactly what happened after a Dutch player cynically held onto the leg of his Belgian counterpart, causing him to trip.
The match was played at Westerlo in Antwerp and it is unknown whether a second leg (eh..Boom) in the Netherlands will take place.

John Harwood is Chief Washington Correspondent for CNBC and a political writer for The New York Times. Harwood hosts the CNBC Digital original video series "Speakeasy with John Harwood."
Harwood was born in Louisville, Ky., and grew up in the Maryland suburbs outside of the nation's capital. He has been around journalism and politics all his life; his first trip on a presidential campaign press plane came when he was 11 years old and accompanied his father, then a political reporter for The Washington Post.
While still in high school, he began his journalism career as a copy boy at The Washington Star. He studied history and economics at Duke University and graduated magna cum laude in 1978. Harwood subsequently joined The St. Petersburg Times, reporting on police, investigative projects, local government and politics. Later he became state capital correspondent in Tallahassee, Washington correspondent and political editor. While covering national politics, he also traveled extensively to South Africa, where he covered deepening unrest against the apartheid regime.
In 1989, Harwood was named a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University, where he spent the 1989-90 academic year. In 1991, he joined The Wall Street Journal as White House correspondent, covering the administration of the George H. W. Bush. Later Harwood reported on Congress. In 1997, he became The Wall Street Journal's Political Editor and chief political correspondent.
While at The Wall Street Journal, Harwood wrote the newspaper's political column, "Washington Wire," and oversaw the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. In March 2006, he joined CNBC as Chief Washington Correspondent.
In addition to CNBC, Harwood offers political analysis on "NBC Nightly News" and PBS' "Washington Week in Review," among other television and radio programs. Harwood has covered each of the last eight presidential elections.

Three wrecks claim four of Lockport woman's relatives
Published: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 11:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 11:44 a.m.
HOUMA -- For Lisa Feet, April has been a trying month.
In three weeks, the Lockport resident lost four loved ones in separate, tragic car crashes in Terrebonne Parish.
"Its kind of been hard," she said of the recent deaths. "Its been real hard."
The most-recent tragedy was this weekend, when Feets 17-year-old godson died in a crash on St. Louis Canal Road in Houma.
Brett Feet, of Houma, was one of three teens killed early Sunday morning when the stolen 2004 Toyota Camry they were in crashed head-on into an oncoming Dodge truck, driven by 61-year-old Kenneth Duplantis of Houma.
The other two teens in the car were 13-year-old Nicholas Delco and 17-year-old Dazerio Williams -- both of Houma. Delco was the driver, authorities said, and crashed when he missed a curve, crossed the centerline and hit the oncoming Dodge.
Inside the Camry, police allegedly found a stolen .22-caliber rifle, one of three rifles stolen from Academy Sports in Houma last week. Police say Delco stole the gun, based on finger-print evidence, but its still unclear who stole the car from an elderly Houma couple. A second gun was turned over to police by an unidentified man Monday, but the third remains missing.
At about the same time as the St. Louis Canal crash, Kyndal Verdin, 27, of Houma -- Lisa Feets first cousin -- was killed in a motorcycle crash on West Tunnel Boulevard in Houma.
Verdin was one of five motorcyclists in a group. The rider bringing up the rear lost control of his bike and crashed into a car. As soon as Verdin and the other motorcyclists realized their friend had crashed, they looped around and headed back to help, but Verdin lost control and crashed into a median, authorities said. He died of head injuries. He was wearing a helmet, State Police said, but it wasnt a state-approved model.
Lisa said Kyndal, who had a young daughter, was working offshore and was a really good person.
"He was doing well for himself," she said. "He was a family man."
This weekends two fatal crashes werent the only ones that personally impacted Lisa. Another of her first cousins, Joanna Feet, died on April 1 in a two-car crash on Grand Caillou Road when the Camry she was in collided with an oncoming car.
Joannas 1-year-old son, Brenden Gaudet, also died in the crash.
"How much more can we take?" Lisa said when reflecting on the string of crash-related deaths.
Lisa said she was recently in Houma visiting Bretts mother, Sandra, at their apartment on Friendswood Drive in east Houma.
"I was really close to him," she said of her godson, though she wishes she had spent more time with him. "He was a loving, shy kid."
Lisa acknowledges that Brett had been in trouble with the law but said he was just "mischievous" like all children.
"He was in and out of trouble," she said. "But all and all, he was a good kid."
All three teens had criminal records, including uncontrollable-teen, theft and car-theft charges, authorities said.
Bretts neighbor and family friend, Joshua Williams, said Brett was a nice guy.
"He was good to talk to if you had something to talk about," the 18-year-old said.
Joshua also knew Dazerio Williams, but the two were not related. He said Dazerio and Brett were good friends and spent time together.
"He was a good person, quiet though," he said of Dazerio, noting he hadnt talked to him in a while. "He got along with everybody. If he had it, you had it."
Though Dazerio and Brett were friends, Joshua said he wasnt sure why the two were hanging out with Delco or what the group was doing early Sunday morning in the allegedly stolen car.
Attempts to reach the immediate families of all three boys were unsuccessful Monday afternoon.
No one answered the door at Bretts apartment. Phone calls to the home also went unanswered.
Dazerios family no longer lives at his last known address at Senator Circle. A resident there said his family moved to west Houma a while ago.
Several people, who declined comment, gathered at Delcos west-Houma apartment Monday afternoon. His mother was not home, they said.

HDGE is taking a beating for the last two years. This is one of my worse investments for the past year. Part of it can be blamed on the rising stock market as a whole but part of it must be blamed on poor short selling stock selection by the managers of this fund. There are stocks that have gone down in flames but apparently HDGE is not holding these stocks. At this point, I have lost 5k on HDGE and, even though it continues to go down on a weekly/monthly basis, I think the right call is to continue to hold on to my position under the theory that every dog has his day. Market has so hot that it has to cool down and when it does, HDGE should go up and I might be able to recover some of my losses, and then I would probably bail out of HDGE. HDGE has such a miserable track record but financial advisors continue to recommend it as a "hedge" against the stock market. I think it works as a theory but in reality, HDGE does nothing but lose money for you.
awhile back I sold my HDGE position for a loss, though ironically after yesterday's bearish action, HDGE is now above my selling price.
This shows at least that HDGE has the ability to rebound quickly when the market tanks. If we enter a period of severe decline in the near future you will make back some or all of your money.
I didn't sell because I think HDGE is a bad investment necessarily, but because whether it's good or bad depends on conditions we can't predict. No one can predict what the market is going to do. No one knows how long an uptrend or a downtrend is going to last. At some point HDGE is going to shine, but we don't know if that's going to be 5 days from now, 5 weeks, or 5 years.
If you buy HDGE too soon you risk losing a lot of money, but no one knows what is too soon. Someone will get lucky and buy this on the down day that turns into the beginning of a 2 year bear market. Others will buy it on a down day that precedes a 6 month rally.
If you hold HDGE and are long stocks you also have the psychological stress of making opposing bets in the market. You want your stocks to rise but you don't want HDGE to fall too much. Crazy.
I've decided that, for me, EDV is a better longterm hedge. It's far from a perfect solution, of course. But at least it pays a dividend when the market is rising. With HDGE not only do you not collect a dividend, you have expenses deducted.
Market off triple digits and HDGE is down. This would be comical if it wasn't so incredibly pathetic.
Don't forget that the expense ratio is over 3% . Hard to make money on the long term at all. The only good play with HDGE is during a huge market down-turn.
Sentiment: Sell
I agree that the over 3% management fee takes the cream from the top leaving waterdown results for the investor. With so many alternative ways to take advantage of weakness it a wonder w
hy anyone would have a penny here.

Suppose we have a congruence equation like $$m_1+2m_2+3m_3+4m_4+5m_5+10 \equiv 0 \pmod{60}.$$ How do we show that there exist $(m_1', m_2',m_3',m_4',m_5') \in \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}^5$ such that $m_i' < m_i$ and $m_1'+2m_2'+3m_3'+4m_4'+5m_5'+10 = 60$.
It seems from the comments that what OP wants is for $m_1+2m_2+\cdots+5m_5+10$ to be a proper multiple of 60. But there are still trivial counterexamples. E.g., if $m_1=6050$ and $m_i=0$ for $i=2,3,4,5$, then $$m_1+2m_2+3m_3+4m_4+5m_5+10=6060$$ is a proper multiple of 60, but there is no non-negative integer $m_2'\lt m_2$, so we don't even have to consider the rest of the conditions.
If you don't like $m_1\ge60$, then just take $m_1=m_2=m_3=0$, $m_4=15$, $m_5=10$, and the same trivial objection applies.
For the fourth, and last, time, I implore OP to think the question through and see if it can't be edited to ask something sensible.
