From: Willy B
Subject: Mile High pt12
Mile High
Part 12 "Chris? I'm sorry." Kelvin uncomfortably shifted on the balls of
his feet as his love crutched around the blackened, smoldering remains of
the Beast. teen porn cheerleader Both were unsuccessfully trying to stay out of the Fire
Marshal's way as he photographed the wreckage in the dim light of another
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Chris stepped back to allow
the man to examine the partial remains of a swastika that had been sprayed
and disappeared into the burn. "You didn't do this."
Chris angrily shed his crutches, turned his back to the wreck, and
silently limped away, `fuck the doctor', from the only possession he'd
received from his mom he could call his own. She'd given it to him when he
started his first auto-shop class as a freshman and he'd restored it from
the axles up. Then she ran afoul of the law and the State took everything
else they'd ever had together. `It was just a stupid old car,' he thought,
trying to convince himself and failing miserably.
"But this all happened because of me!" Kel fought back the lump in
his throat. Chris had paid more than he ever dreamed possible, had been
shot, and almost been killed! That he was next on the `hit list' didn't
assuage the guilt he felt over his friend's loss. "I don't
"Kelvin! xxx teen porn pictures Shut up!" Chris spun back, almost falling as his knee sent
its warning. "None of this is your or my fault! What? You want me to say I
don't love you any teen jesse porn more?" He finally collapsed onto the porch, burying his
head. "I can't change what's happened or how I feel about you even if I
wanted to. I'd sooner let another sniper finish me off!"
"Chris!" Kel grabbed him tightly and hung on as his love let his
tears flow. "Don't ever say that! I couldn't fa...." he felt his throat
constrict as he tried to continue. "I'm sor...." He stopped at the sharp
look he received. Chris obviously was tired of his apologies. "Oh, fuck it!
I could never stop loving you either."
"OK,..." Chris wiped his eyes and smiled weakly, "...but don't be
surprised if I put up a sign, 'Kel's house that way!'"
"Thanks a lot," Kel grimly smiled back. "I appreciate young teens ass
your wanting
to share." He leaned in closer to block the world. "I hate to ask but...can
I use the bathroom? I've got'a take a wicked dump and after teen porn girls galleries dealing with
you last night I don't think I can hold it much longer."
"Great." Chris responded sarcasticly as Kel successfully brought
his thoughts to a different subject. He winced internally as he thought
about how caring but clumsy they'd been. "All I need now is another
nickname. So, instead of 'Tigger' I suppose you're gon'a call me 'Ex-Lax'
"Well, actually....," Kel paused, cautious about how to respond,
then smiled that his devastated friend could still joke around a little,
"...I was thinking of Roto-Rooter, but I won't do that to you, Sharon would
never let me live it down." He came back to his immediate problem and the
pressure he felt. "So, Tigger, can I?"
"Sure, Mile High." Chris couldn't help but use Kel's hated
nickname. "You porn tits teen know where it is. You don't have to ask."
"Christopher?" Charles stepped away from the officer who'd been
taking his statement and looked across the yard to watch the interplay
between his gay son and friend. He had no idea what they were saying to
each other, but saw the grim smiles they exchanged. He couldn't help but
smile himself. He was never more proud of him than when he saw that his son
still had a sense of humor. Charles squared his shoulders; it was like his
own combat experiences as an eighteen year old. You could collapse totally
or face it with humor. He still thought MASH was the most accurate war show
ever done. He had no illusions, his son and his friend were at war. Not one
where they could shoot back, but it was a war and his son had proved he was
a survivor, was stronger than many.
"You know we only had liability on your car?" Charles settled next
to his son and waited for the implications to sink in. No insurance. "I'm
afraid it's totaled. Gone for good."
"Yes, sir." Chris glanced from the blackened hulk to his hands that
had transformed it once before. The damage done was too great to fix it. He
could see it without his dad's saying it.
"It's gon'a take a while before you'll be able to replace it. I
wish I could help you more." Charles looked at his son.
"I know," Chris whispered back. "I can find a way to work. I wanted
to ask about changing to full time. I was going to quit the track team
"No, you're not." Charles draped his arm over his son and pulled
him closer. "You love running for the team; besides, you haven't even gone
to the first meet yet." He felt his son shudder free teen sex trailers
slightly. "That was your
plan to be accepted by everybody, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, but it's hopeless. We'll never be left alone," Chris
responded, his bitterness reasserting itself.
"That's probably true," Charles sighed as he continued. "But you
still do it because you love it and I don't want you to give it up unless
you really want to." He hugged Chris tighter before going on with his
idea. "I'll let you borrow that old '44 Willys I've been playing with in my
spare time. It's running fine, I just have to get it registered." He saw
his son's eyes widen. He'd been playing around with the old Jeep for years,
intending to use it to get in the act at some of the airshows when they did
reenactments. "I know green isn't your favorite color and it doesn't have
air conditioning...."
"Air conditioning?" Chris smiled through his conflicting
emotions. He'd been independent with the car because it was the only thing
that was his. "Hell, it teen masturbation porn doesn't free teen gay videos even have a canvas top yet." He couldn't
believe his dad was willing to risk his other `pride and joy'. "No, I
couldn't. What if som...."
"Christopher, just stop it!" Charles released his son to hold him
by his shoulders. "I know you don't like charity, but I'm your dad, so this
isn't charity. Besides, who do you think helped pay for your trips to the
junk yards and parts shops. I expect you to keep it in top shape for me. No
playing `Rat Patrol' out in the oil fields." He saw confusion in his son's
features. "Never mind! It was an old TV show."
"But what if those guys burn it too?" Chris asked. "I don't teen high porn think I
could stand...you've worked too hard on it. It's your...."
"Look, Chris," Charles real amateur teen sex replied impatiently, "if it gets destroyed
too, I'll just wait and get another project to work on. Maybe even that
halftrack one of my contacts in Oklahoma will never finish. He owes me a
few favors." He took a deep breath and caught his son's eyes. "As much as
I'd like to hide you japenese teen porn away from all the what-ifs out there, I wouldn't! I
love you too much, so we'll face whatever happens together for as long as
I'm here.... OK?"
"OK." teen porn young 13
Chris leaned over against his dad as they watched a wrecker
slowly start to winch his car onto its dropped bed. Even the tires were
gone. "Maybe we should look into that halftrack anyway. It's armored!"
Chris smiled ruefully.
"Naw," Charles chuckled as they held each other, "I don't think we
could afford the gas, the way you drive!" He looked over to see his son
staring back, and smiled at him. "Of course, there are a few people star porn teen I'd
like to run over with one right now...." "Ow! porn website teen
Fuck!" Kel yelled in frustration as the wrench slipped again
and his knuckles scraped the tall pole they were removing from the old
jeep. Charles had teen naturalists nude
already removed the fake machine gun from its mount on
top. "Why does this have to come off again?" he asked curtly as teens having sex pics he stared
at Chris's legs sticking out from under the vehicle.
He pulled his coat loose from the snag it had found again, almost
tearing it, and cursed the shifter poking him between the legs. He porn with teen should
have listened closer to Charles' advice sexy nude teen
about how to approach the
problem. That Chris seemed to have recovered from that morning amazed
him. When he'd come out of the house, mission accomplished, the remains of
the car were gone and Chris and his dad had disappeared for over an hour
while he'd waited impatiently on the porch. When they'd both reappeared
with red eyes, Kel kept his questions to himself and followed the two out
to Charles' shop at the airport.
"My dad doesn't think it would go too well to park in the school
lot with a machine gun mount," Chris yelled from under the Jeep. "Just hold
what you've got and I'll turn from down here!"
Kel could hear the laughter in Chris's voice. He felt at home in
the air doing things others couldn't, but here he felt like a complete
goofball. Was lacey teen porn it left to tighten? No, `lefty loosey', was that how that
stupid rhyme went that Chris kept telling him?
"Wait a minute!" Kel saw the bolt head turning before he'd fitted
the wrench back in place. "I need to get it back in the hole!"
"Well, put some hair around it!" Chris couldn't help himself as he
pictured Kel wedged between the seats, fumbling around in unfamiliar
territory. "Then maybe you can find it!"
"Fuck you, asshole!" Kel retorted, smiling, finally getting
everything back in place. "I'm ready now, oh great and hairless wonder!"
"Watch it!" Chris yelled back. "I resemble that remark! There,
that's petite young teen porn
one down!"
"Great!" Kel responded, then looked in confusion at the other
three. "Argh, which one was the next one?"
"OK, boys, how's it galleries teen porn going?" Charles stepped out of his office to
check on their progress and smiled when confronted with the two pairs of
dirty sneakers visible above and below the Jeep. "You need any help with
"It's going!" Kel yelled back as Chris yelled, "No, we got it!"
"Kelvin?" Charles continued to smile at the two of them. Chris was
actually a pretty talented mechanic if that's what he wanted to do. Kel was
better off doing something else. "Your mother called to tell you to meet
her at the hanger about one and to try to stay clean!" He chuckled to
himself. thailand teen nude
There was little hope of that, even if he stayed where he
was. "Don't worry, I told her to bring you a change of clothes."
"Thank you!" Kel yelled over his shoulder as they finished the last
bolt holding the free teen porn films
mount to the floor of the olive drab vehicle. "Fuck!
Goddammitalltohell!" He suddenly cringed as the mount toppled silently
across his back, his body absorbing the impact!
"You OK up there, flyboy?" Chris called out in concern mixed with
some mirth.
"Flyboy?" Kelvin struggled briefly, then stopped. He didn't want to
cause any more damage than he may have already. "I think this thing is
going to your head! At least I have five nude lesbian teens
more reasons why I need to stay
out of the army!"
"Nine, actually." Charles stated calmly as he pulled the heavy
mount off of his son's best friend. "Now you've got to put the bolts back
in the holes."
"Great!" Kel growled. He felt his ears burning as both Bauchamps'
chuckles filled the air around him. Finally, he teen porn 13 17 couldn't help but giggle
himself and thanked God that there weren't any video cameras around. It was
bad enough that this would get back to their friends at school, without
them actually seeing it! He couldn't wait till he got his license and Chris
could fly with him. He'd get his revenge then. "I'm looking forward to
it. It's what I live for!" Kelvin nervously finished dressing in the clothes his mom had
brought out to him. His mom was acting virgin teen video porn
very strange. That and everything
else that teen sexual intercourse porn
had happened that morning were unnerving him. He couldn't figure
out what she was being so secretive about. For a moment he fought back the
panic he felt when he thought of his father, but she wasn't acting like
anything had happened to him. In fact, the only emotion she'd shown was
when she saw Chris without his crutches. She had ripped him a new asshole
for that, while Charles just looked on, smiling. Kel had just shrugged his
shoulders teen young asian porn
and smiled when Chris had turned to him with pleading eyes before
skulking off to retrieve them. Finally satisfied he looked OK - and didn't
smell - he left to join the others.
"Ah, Kelvin. glad you could join us." His mom looked up from her
newspaper she'd been sharing with an older gray-haired man Kel didn't
recognize. "This is Mr. Terry Miller from the FAA."
Kel rocked back on his heels before he took the tiny teen topanga pussy offered hand. The
FAA! They had heard about his funeral tribute after all and were here for
his pound of flesh in payment. He swallowed hard and visibly
straightend. If he was well and truly fucked, it was still worth it!
"Relax, son," the old man drawled, his accent making every word at
least two syllables, "I was there for that exhibition you put on, but I'm
not here for that. As far as we're concerned, that never teen anal fucking happened. OK?" teen or porn teen nude girls
paused for a moment fat black teen porn
and was pleased to see the young man's defensive
posture ease. Smiling, he continued, "Like your amateur teen boobs mom said, I'm from the FAA
and I'm here to help you!" He couldn't help but chuckle as Kel recognised
lie number one in the top three of the aviation world, according to the
pilots. "No, actually I am here to help, I think. Where's your log book?"
"Yes, sir." Kel quickly retrieved his book where he'd recorded
every hour he spent at the controls and handed it to the government
official. "What is this about, then? I didn't do anything else wrong, did
"No, you didn't do anything wrong." Terry quickly examined the
entries. Damn, the kid already had almost a thousand hours. "Except maybe
letting your dad make you wait this long."
He closed the book and glanced from mother to son. "Hell, I was
flying mail in Alaska with my dad when I was thirteen! Anyway, your father
asked me to handle this myself. The first thing you're going to show me is
how to plan a flight from here to Austin and back. I'll want you to file it
and then cancel it. small amtuer teen porn
Then you and I will go flying." He smiled again as
recognition doggy style teen porn suddenly filled the boy's face. "I signed your dad's ticket
more years european gay teen porn ago than I care to remember...I'll be honored to sign yours too
after you show me that your father knows what the hell he's teen sex porn movies talking about."
Kel sat at the desk and reached for the charts and his E-2B flight
computer (More like a slide rule on steroids) as his heart pounded. He'd
been so comfortable with the idea of not having to face this final exam for
almost a year. He shook himself to clear his mind for the tasks ahead,
suddenly glad his father never let him use the GPS. He teen girls doing porn smiled grimly as he
spread the chart out on the table. This was going to be an early form of
IFR flying - `I Follow Roads!'
Kelvin guided the rented Cessna to its parking free indian teen porn space and proceeded
with his shutdown. He'd never sweated so much in his life and wasn't sure
whether he was happier to pass or that the ordeal was over!
"Good job, son." Terry beamed at him. "That's a pretty shirt you've
got on. It'll be a shame to ruin it but...." He shrugged his shoulders
dramaticaly as his voice trailed off.
"I thought that was only..." Kel popped his door open after
securing the controls, "...when I soloed." He saw his mom then, standing
with her scissors behind where Chris stood, both with broad grins on their
faces. A suspicion began to grow that his parents weren't the only ones who
knew about the set-up. He let an evil smile cross his face. He and Chris
would fly to see Mike and Mr. Goldman all right, they'd just do it upside
"Well, I have my own traditions," Mr. Miller started as they
reached the others and he began cutting the back panel out of Kel's
T-shirt. "Now remember. I want you to teen age amature porn go forth and don't do nothin stupid!"
He finished and pulled Kelvin's coat back down. "I'll go finish the
paperwork and we're done. Oh, horny teen sex
and I may be a couple of weeks early, but
Merry Christmas."
"OK, how much did you know about this?" Kel whispered to Chris as
they watched the man teen porn latin girls
walk into the hanger. He was sure if he died right
then, they'd never be able to get the smile off his face. "And how can you
be so happy?" Kel regretted the last question when he saw the shadow cross
Chris's eyes only to be instantly banished by his renewed grin.
"Well, first, I've known for a few days...," Chris said, watching
for his love's reaction. The look of disbelief, that he'd been able to keep
the secret, was worth it, "...and second, I'm happy because you're happy. I
wouldn't have missed it!"
"You'd better make sure you get all the signatures you need." Kel's
mom beamed at him. "Then, why don't you call your other friends and see if
they can come over to the house? You need to make sure you call your dad
tonight; otherwise, he won't get any sleep...."
The rest of his mom's instructions were lost on Kelvin as he
drifted into the hanger after Mr. Miller. His head was back in the
clouds. This time without an airplane!__________________________________________________________________________________________ teen blonde porn gallaries "OK, we're all here." Steve walked over to their small group of
friends gathered around the old but now immaculate Jeep, its dropped
windshield partially covering the free nude teen video
single white star on the hood. "What's
going on? Who joined the army, all of a sudden?"
"Nobody joined anything, except maybe your grandfather's army,
dipshit!" Sharon smiled at him. "This is Chris's new car...give or take a
million miles."
"Cool! But what happened to...." Steve asked, puzzled.
"Someone burned it last night," Chris's strained voice lesbian teen eat broke
through. He was tired of repeating it and needed to forestall another round
of pity. "We're just trying to figure out who did it. Besides, not all our
news is bad! He paused for effect while watching Kel blush
furiously. "Kel's a real pilot now!"
"What was he before?" Steve asked, still trying to absorb the other
news and steaming inside.
"No, I mean he got his license today," Chris continued as the
others began their congratulations with various high fives and the usual
good natured punches and shoving around. Chris hoped they'd tone it down
before they put Kel back in the hospital gay porn teen boys
for another beating, this one
accidently from his friends. "Now he can take passengers along with him."
"So who you raw teen porn sex gon'a take up first?" Sharon fluttered her eyelashes
dramatically. "Not that I'm making any suggestions..."
"I don't know." Kelvin winced as the last blow fell on his teen porn thumbz
arm and
the others backed porn teen slut away. "First, I've got to heal! But then I figured I'd
take Steve up. I know how much he likes to fly."
"I don't think so." Steve, startled, quickly tried to melt to the
back of their group. "Thanks but no thanks."
"Hey, you teen girl website porn did all right in Mr. Goldman's small jet," Kel grinned
back evilly. "I promise I'll take it nice and easy...."
"Yeah, right!" Steve retorted, not about to believe it for a
second. "At least in the jet, I could tell up from down!"
"It won't be that bad," Kel continued to grin at him. "I'll ask my
dad to order some vomit bags just for you, if that'll make you feel
"Better make it a bucket!" someone else said in the group, to
raucous laughter, while Steve continued to turn green at the thought of
what he'd seen the little white biplane doing. He couldn't stand
rollercoasters, there was no way he'd sexy teen asses be caught dead in that little winged
torture chamber.
"OK, let's go inside..." Steve looked up as Jenny, his long time
girlfriend and future wife, seemed to come to his rescue, "...before my
fiance pukes his guts out right here!" She looked on lovingly as Steve
sputtered in surprise. "We still need to figure out what to do about the
other...." "I hope we can get those fuckers," Sharon whispered in Chris's ear
as she hugged him goodnight. They'd all agreed to keep an free teen porn gallories ear out for any
rumors or bragging they knew would happen around the school and then vowed
to report what they heard, no matter what it cost!
"Thanks, Sharon," he whispered back. "I just hope everybody's
careful." Chris had urged caution. As far as he knew, all the others were
straight and he didn't want them blue teen porn pics to get hurt in what was his fight after
all. Steve was the most vocal in his intense loyalty to his friends, it was
almost frightening. But then Chris and Kel had some free celeb teen porn
idea of what he'd been
through himself over Mike's coming out, how teen porn thumbs galleries
much abuse he'd taken when the
school heard his best friend was gay and he stayed his best friend.
Chris idly thought of Steve as the guy he'd vote most likly to fall
on a grenade to save his friends as he listened to him speak. That Steve
let it out that he'd joined the Coast Guard - he'd report at the end of
August - surprised everyone but Chris. Chris knew Steve was just the right
person to push himself to the limit for others, putting the littel teen porn `team' before
his own safety!
"We will be. Don't worry about it." Sharon pulled away and turned
to Kelvin. "And you. I'm gon'a hold you to that promise next week! No
`funny' business up there!" She looked as he grinned back at her. "Damn it!
I mean it! Otherwise I'll tell everybody why you're walking funny."
"I am not walking funny!" naked teen girlszbian porn Kel looked over his shoulder, making sure
his mom wasn't around.
"I know that," she laughed. "So how was it?"
"Great!" Kel stopped himself, glanced guiltily at Chris and felt
the blood drain from his face as she continued to laugh.
"Don't worry, you freshman teen porn
two." She brought herself under control. "I won't
ever tell anyone!" Having scored her points, she turned to leave. "Better
go. Joel's waiting for me. You know? He's a lot like that beer - Less
filling but tastes great." She continued giggling. She loved to shock, it
was so much fun.
"I think that's more than we both wanted to know!" Kel retorted to
her retreating figure. "I'm gon'a have nightmares tonight!"
"Yeah,..." her dim voice came back to them, "...like you're going
to get any sleep!" "So what do you want to try tonight?" Kel looked at his boyfriend
lying back on top of his bed as he lounged beside him.
"Don't put it that way," Chris chuckled. "It makes it sound like
homework for some elective we're taking." He started grinning, thinking of
weird class titles. "Jeeze, I don't know, should I take basket weaving or
butt fucking?"
"OK, asswipe!" Kel grinned evilly and grabbed the bulge in Chris's
jeans hard. "Then what did you want to do?"
"Well!" Chris pitched his voice into a high falsetto, causing Kel
to let go and roll into a fit of laughter. "We'll just have to play it by
ear. You know, just see what comes up!"
"OK. Let's see what comes out." Kel raised himself onto his
elbows. "I mean up!" He grinned back while he rose up and pulled his shirt
over his head and threw it into the corner. "Hey, aren't you gon'a join
"No." Chris rolled protectivly on his stomach and looked at Kel's
laughter-invoked sheen of sweat, making his unspoken challenge.
"OK," Kel looked back in mock consternation, a wicked gleam shining
in the lights, "but you'll have to tell me if I hurt your knee!" He pounced
then and was shocked to find himself lifted as Chris rose under him and he
rolled off the bed onto the carpet. He looked up into the grinning face of
his boyfriend.
Kel found himself in a brief quandary over what to do next. He
still had ahold of Chris's shirt and it had pulled up enough to trap one of
his boyfriend's arms. If he let go now, Chris would just get ready to fend
him off again. So he fre teen porn pulled hard and was rewarded when he pulled Chris teen porn in stockings onto
the floor with him. Chris winced slightly and he almost stopped until he
felt Chris's free hand at his belt. He pulled up on the shirt tail
again. Chris would either have to let him have it or it would tear! He
didn't care which happened at that point. Chris had started it, after all!
The match was on!
Kel's mom stood at the top of the stairs listening to the sounds,
of inarticulate laughter and the occasional thumps and curses, that emerged
from behind her son's door. She thought about going down to break it up
before they broke blonde teen pussy the furniture or themselves but decided against it. teen beach porn She
turned away to head for her own bed. She'd wake up what was left of them in
the morning. She'd also have teen porn anal sex to remember to take them to task for their
language. "You sure you're ok?" Kel asked his boyfiend as he leaned, nude,
against the side of the bed with Chris. He smiled weakly. He was nude, but
he'd gotten Chris's shirt off finally and his jeans and boxers down to his
knees before he'd winced hard with pain free porn movie teen and they'd agreed to stop.
"Yeah, teen porn resize 07
I'm sure I'm OK." Chris tentativly bent his leg and breathed
out when nothing happened. He reached down and pulled the rest off himself
then leaned back again. "There, now we're even."
"So what do we call this?" Kelvin chuckled to himself as he stared
at Chris's rapidly hardening penis, pumping up with each visible heartbeat,
then at his own rigid member hard against his sweaty abdomen.
"I don't know," Chris panted back, smiling and wiping his
forehead. "Foreplay?" He began nude teen whores to chuckle himself at the thought.
"Ha, I'll show you foreplay." Kel teen nudes thumbs
reached over and grabbed Chris's
cock and stroked it a teen porn affiliate program few times, playing peek-a-boo with the head. "I ought
to make you suck on this thing yourself, except then no one would ever see
you again!"
"Naw, sexy porn teen I'd rather play with you." Chris rolled towards Kel and
grabbed him as well. "I'm around me all the time."
"How can you stand it?" Kel giggled, then took a sharp breath when
Chris shifted his grip to include his balls and squeezed.
"What did you say?" Chris smiled and bent to attack the mountains
and valleys of his friend's naked chest with his tongue, focusing on the
"I said I love you and will never say anything meantoyouagain!" Kel
rushed through his words and was relieved to feel Chris's grip loosen. "Oh
fuck!" Kel knew his nipples were sensitive ever since he'd slid shirtless
through a patch of sticker bushes playing football with his brothers in big butts teen porn the
back yard. Only now he understood why they'd laughed at him so hard. They
could feel good too!
Chris left what he'd been doing and moved slowly down the ridges of
Kel's abdomen until he found the slightly dimpled, almost flat bellybutton
and sucked it taiwan teen porn
like a small inverted penis. He felt the rumble of a deep
growl race through Kel's body as he smiled in between his attacks.
"Let...me...do...you...too." Kel managed to squeak out through the
sensations coursing through him from unexpected areas.
Chris moved to lie flat on his side and curved his back so they
would be at the same level as he helped position Kelvin alongside of
him. His own breathing became ragged when he felt Kel's tongue at his own
slightly deeper bellybutton. He swore he could feel the tip of Kel's rigid
pole, which he'd held out of the way, throbbing bad ass teen in his short hair, slicking
part of it in the process.
When Kel fat hairy teen porn moved down and swallowed him, he did the same. This time
there was no soap or chlorinated water to deal with. What they tasted was
just them and they each reveled in it!
Kelvin laughed internally as they both continued their work through
the intense feelings each gave the other. teen latina porn stars
This time it was drawing out. He
was lasting much longer than he had in the past. Maybe, he thought, they
needed to fight more often. He felt one of Chris's hands leave his balls
and a finger force its way through his clenched cheeks and into him. That
was almost too much in the state he was in but he managed to fight back and
reciprocated, finding his own finger now trapped in the warmth his
boyfriend exuded inside.
Too soon it was over for them as Chris began shooting wave after
wave out of his body, this teen old, porn movie
time not outlasting Kelvin, who followed just green teen porn
Chris's had slowed to a dribble which felt like it was forcibly pulled
through him like a straw.
Reluctantly, they let each other go and Kel flipped his position to
bring them face to face. They smiled and kissed teen manga porn quietly as they stroked
each other's sleek bodies. Neither said a word, wanting the moment to gay teen porn pictures
teen porn amature last
as long as possible. Kel finally stopped and reached up, pulling the bed
covers down to where they lay. He snuggled as close to Chris as he could,
both content to stay on the floor, and held Chris as tightly as Chris held
him. Kel taxied the little biplane through eight teen porn the dark to the end of the
runway while Chris fidgeted in the cramped front cockpit. They'd both
quietly dressed and blearily sneaked out of the house in the predawn
morning, only to come down to make this flight at Kel's insistence.
"Chris, I know this is early..." Kel began through the intercomm gay teen thumbs as
they began their takeoff roll, "...but I wanted to share this with
you. You've heard me repeat it over and over. Now just listen to the words
and enjoy the sunrise. I'm tired of sunsets."
Chris watched as they climbed higher between the dark clouds that
patterned the sky. Suddenly they broke out above the clouds and were
surrounded by golden light reflecting off the tops, white porn teen turning them a rich
gold as well!
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth," Kel began `High
Flight' from memory, the sights this morning almost overcoming him as
well. "And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings...."
Chris felt his own tears as Kel continued introducing his two loves
to each other. He had no doubt he was the most important of them but
embraced the other like an old friend as Kel began some vertical
maneuvers. Strangly, he felt his nervousness leave his body completely. He
was secure up here.
"...Where never lark, or even eagle flew," Kel continued, watching
the sun glint off the gold colored white wings to either side. He pulled
back to straight and level high above the gold cloudtops now, with only the
dark blue above. He pulled the throttle back and felt the noise inside
diminish to almost nothing.
"And, while teen girl porn site with silent lifting nude teen porn mind...," he continued quietly now,
"...I've trod the untrespassed sanctity of space..." Kel didn't think of
himself as traditionaly tiny teen porn archives religious. His God was porn teen casting counch one of love, not the
churches he'd rejected. He'd once heard that to love someone totally was to
know the face of God. So he gently reached his hand through the small space
between the cockpits and stroked Chris's soft tear-streaked face. "...put
out my hand and touched the face of God."
They flew on in the quiet peace of another Sunday free xxx teen mpegs morning. Soon
they would have to return to earth and their troubles would still be there,
but they were secure. Secure in their families, secure in their small
circle of friends and, most of jap teen porn
all, secure in their love for each
other. Nothing else mattered! The End?In answer to a couple of E-mails about the poem 'High Flight'. teen soft core porn
It is
available from any pilot or from many different sites around the web. It
was written by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. He was a 19 year old American
fighter pilot flying for the Royal free porn teen pic Canadian Air Force in 1941. He penned
the poem and sent it to his parents after hardcore teen titan porn a test flight in a new
Spitfire. Three months later he was killed during a routine training
flight. Forever 19 years old.High Fight
By John Gillespie Magee, Jr.Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds
And done a teen girls only porn hundred things you teen porn action have not dreamed of.
Wheeled and soared and swung high into the sunlit silence.
Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting winds along and
Flung my eager craft through the footless halls of air.Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even japanese teen nude eagle flew.And, while with silent lifting mind
I've trod the untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Over the next six days, we'll be featuring each of the ten titles from this year's Best Translated Book Award poetry shortlist. Click here for all past write-ups.
This guest post is by Kevin Prufer, whose newest books are National Anthem (Four Way Books, 2008) and Little Paper Sacrifice (Four Way Books, forthcoming). He's also Editor of New European Poets (Graywolf Press, 2008) and Pleiades: A Journal of New Writing.
The speakers in these carefully crafted poems are, first of all, keen and imaginative observers. One sits in a cafeteria watching a workman eat boiled rice until the grains "carried by the chapped hand / . . . gather and scatter like clouds between the blistered lips." Another stands outside at night observing the moon, telling us how "I turned around / and caught her furtive eye, her soiled feet. / Blushing, as if she were being watched, she hid behind a cloud / and reappeared in the distance." A third narrator stands in a hospital corridor listening to the agony of the others, "a judge of cries," teasing stories out of pain. "Every cry is singular," she tells us,
like a bird's feather,
so that even without touching the trembling shoulder
you can tell if the crier has just learned the name of his disease,
or if he has been sentenced to death,
or if he weeps over a cold body.
Heeduk Ra's poems, set in Korea's cities (a hospital elevator, a church's back stairway) and natural landscapes (where graves become boats and falling snow becomes feathers, flowers, rice), are filled with intricate detail, surprising turns, and moments of sadness, transcendence and breathtaking grace. Here, the daily minutia of Korean life are rich with imagery, reflecting not just their own details, but the brilliant and unpredictable mind that would tell us about them and, in so doing, imbue them with deeply personal turns of phrase and sharp, often witty, metaphors.
In one of the book's most lovely poems, the speaker contemplates renting a room, finding in the mundane task a deep connection with Korea's history and the lives of others:
To rent a room in Damyang or Changpyung,
to visit it like a chipmunk,
I looked in every village I came across.
Walking past a place in Jasil,
I saw common flowers in the yard
between the traditional Korean house and a modern annex.
When I entered through the open gate,
a man was sharpening his scythe on the grindstone
and his wife's scarf was wet, as if she had just returned from the fields.
"Excuse me, I wonder if I could rent a room.
I'll stay here two or three nights a week."
When I pointed at the traditional house
she smiled. "Well, our children moved to Seoul,
so we live in the annex. Yes, the main house
is unoccupied, but we hold it in our hearts.
Our family history lies there."
Listening to her, I saw the clean wooden floor
on which lay day's last light.
I didn't press for the room, I left,
wondering if the couple knew
that I'd already rented it, was living in their words—
that in their hearts they lived in the vacant house.
Heeduk Ra, born in Nonsan in 1966, is widely regarded as one of Korea's preeminent younger poets. Woo Chung-Kim and Christopher Merrill's plainspoken, moving translation makes it clear why. Distinguished for their graceful sensibility, rich imagery, and subtle intelligence, these poems will hopefully bring a wide English language readership to this valuable poet.
A couple weeks ago, the National Book Critics Circle hosted a panel at Prairie Lights Books in Iowa City entitled "Why Translation Matters?" and featuring Sarah Fay, Christopher Merrill, Cole Swenson, Russell Valentino, (incorrectly identified as Rudolph Valentino on the NBCC info page, which isn't necessarily the worst person to be mistaken for) and Robin Hemley. (More on all of them below.)
I remember hearing about this panel and hoping that it would be recorded and made available at some point, and thankfully, it now is.
Here's a bit from the NBCC on all the participants:
Sarah Fay is an advisory editor at The Paris Review. Her work appears regularly in the New York Times Book Review, The Paris Review, Bookforum, and The American Scholar, among others. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in English Literature at the University of Iowa.
Christopher Merrill has published four collections of poetry, including Brilliant Water and Watch Fire, for which he received the Peter I. B. Lavan Younger Poets Award from the Academy of American Poets. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages, his journalism appears in many publications, and he is the book critic for the daily radio news program, The World. He now directs the International Writing Program at The University of Iowa.
Cole Swensen is the author of twelve books of poetry, most recently Ours (University of California Press, 2008). Her work has been short-listed for the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the National Book Award and won the Iowa Prize, the San Francisco State Poetry Center Book Award, and the National Poetry Series. A 2007 Guggenheim Fellow, she is the co-editor of the Norton Anthology American Hybrid and a professor at the Iowa Writers Workshop.
Russell Scott Valentino is a translator and scholar based in Iowa City, Iowa. He has published eight books and numerous essays and short translations of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from Italian, Croatian, and Russian. He is the publisher of Autumn Hill Books and Editor of The Iowa Review.He teaches in Iowa's Translation Workshop.
Robin Hemley is the author of eight books of fiction and nonfiction, most recently Do-Over (Little, Brown). His work has been anthologized widely and he is the recipient of numerous awards including a 2008 Guggenheim, The Nelson Algren Award for Fiction, an Editor's Choice Book Award for Nonfiction from The American Library Association, and two Pushcart Prizes. He currently directs UI's Nonfiction Writing Program.
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .

This year has truly been wild and special. We reached many things we have been working towards for so long, and we're very proud to keep growing.
Culture Clash was our biggest stage show ever, and undeniably one of the biggest things we've ever done. We brought Popcaan out for his first UK appearance and put together an amazing team, competing against Wiz Khalifa, Wiley and UKG All-Stars and bringing the trophy home. We put so much time and effort and love into it, synthesizing nearly all the skills and connections we've accumulated over the years, and sometimes we still wake up and can't believe it happened.
Drake dipped into our 2014 release with Popcaan – "Love Yuh Bad" – and sampled it on the Rihanna-featuring "Too Good", and Party Next Door sampled an unreleased and forthcoming Dre Skull / Vybz Kartel collaboration on his single "Not Nice". The original Kartel song soon come on Mixpak ;)
Before he signed to Warp late in the year, we dropped GAIKA's "Security" mixtape which really blew us away. He joined us to perform at our party, made some amazing videos and hit the cover of the Wire Magazine.
PALMISTRY released his debut LP "PAGAN" in June, on the same day of our clash win. He hit the Billboard electronic charts, made it into the New Yorker, and we have some *very* exciting Palmistry news in early 2017.
We kept the party levels going harder than ever – we brought Konshens to LA for a very special Boiler Room, Murlo & Bobby Konders to the Natural History Museum, partied in a Water Park in Pennslyvania, and had many many amazing friends & artists DJ with us at our usual New York functions. Thank you to everyone who joined us, we try to throw parties with care and love, and it always inspires to be able to connect with everyone who joins us.
Wildlife! formally joined the Mixpak roster this year, pushing boundaries with his intricately deconstructed "Patterns" EP. In parallel to the release, he created an immersive Patterns gallery installation setting the stage for his ongoing explorations with experiencing sound. He's been back in the studio, honing his next project and we can't wait to share the next chapter in 2017.
Our longstanding relationship with Jubilee blossomed with her focused debut LP "After Hours", an exploration of her musical history that we launched on a party bus driving around New York. Quite rightly, the world took note and the album ended up on Pitchfork's Top 20 Electronic Albums of 2016 and Billboard's Top 10 Electronic Albums of 2016. She continues to be one of NY's best DJs and producers and is our beloved co-host of our RBMA Radio show.
There were many firsts this year, and thanks to everyone listening, supporting and joining us on the ride, we'll be going even greater next year. Lots of love <3 Thank you to all our guests at Mixpak parties in 2016: Chi Ching Ching, Murlo, Bobby Konders, Lil Haiti, Maleek Berry, King Addies, El Freaky Colectivo, Cupcakke, Deadboy, Nina Las Vegas, Nigel Nasty, Sasha Go Hard, Le1f, Scratcha DVA, Copout, Night Doll, Chino Amobi, Ikonika, Gang Fatale, Ezra, Celestial Trax, Rozay Labeija, Gaika, Rizzla, Jubilee, Shyboi, Boima, Florentino, Asmara, Hoodcelebrityy, Uniique, DJ Nate, Sir Spyro, Jammz, DJ Lucas, Kablam, Quest?onmarc, Meaghan Garvey, Creep Chromatic, Wildlife!, DJ Milktray, DJ J Heat, Ynfynyt Scroll, DJ Fourth Drop, Abby, DJ DJ Dese, God's Wisdom…

Charming hosts presiding over a lovely property with free WIFI, a spa bath, a lovely garden focused reading room and an excellent breakfast
Very friendly hosts who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Lovely breakfast. Great rooms.
Very good hosts Margaret and Gary make you feel welcome and were very helpful with local knowledge.
Such a beautiful little homestead! Stayed here two nights while we explored the north west of Launceston. Selected this hotel based on the positive reviews and we were not disappointed! Greeted at the door and immediately offered tea or coffee as we were shown our room. We stayed in the Shearwater room which is a bit small but still more than enough space for two of us. The owners were extremely hospitable and treated us to a complimentary breakfast on both mornings. Cannot recommend them enough!
We stayed the last two nights of our visit to Tasmania. Hosts Margaret and Garry were so obliging and everything was set up to make our stay enjoyable. Our room was comfortable, clean and the breakfast was freshly cooked for us each morning. Lovely way to end our trip

Delayed vs. Instant Gratification:
Letting the Recycling Build Up
I have a sister, along with her husband, whom I currently live with, and thus have been afforded a front row seat at the way she lives her life.
Though she has clearly chosen the former, rather than the latter, in the gratification department, her decision was not arrived at intellectually. In fact, I'm convinced she is not conscious of any decision at all. And I don't think she's unique in that respect.
I think she lives in deathly fear of the appearance of self-indulgence, or worse, selfishness. She is the least "flashy" person I know. Nothing she does is over the top, or overtly ornate. She would be quite happy to remain below the radar of almost everyone for the rest of her life. Hardly a heinous sin, I will acknowledge, but it occasionally leads to a stylistic clash with her more, ah, shall we say, unconcealed brother.
She insists, for example, that the only way the three of us can have a night on the town, defined as two or three drinks at Happy Hour prices at a local pub, is through earnings generated from turning in recyclable materials. An admirable thought, a goal even. Until I realized that the first time we cashed in, we walked away with about $35.
"How long has that stuff been building up?" I asked her.
Almost a year, she said proudly.
Let the record show, with tip, two drinks each came to exactly $35.
I resisted the temptation to say to the bartender as we left, "See you next year."
My beef (eater?) is not about someone embracing the concept of frugality. If my sister chooses to employ recycling scratch to finance the occasional cocktail, it is not, in my opinion, and in spite of her sales pitch otherwise, born out of her instinct for fiscal prudence. We can afford to do this more often, and should. Her reluctance is due to her inherent uneasiness with self-benevolence. Or even the appearance of indulgence. This is likely tied to her other semi-fatal instinct of caring too much what other people think.
As I sit back and watch this unfold, sans cocktail, I am overcome with a frightening vision. It came to me in a dream sequence late one night.
I'm lying in my open casket and people are streaming by. Ok, I hope it's a stream, because a trickle would constitute an editorial comment on my life that'd make Ebenezer Scrooge wince.
People are leaving things alongside my body. There is an Oakland Raider flag, a copy of a Dennis Miller book, some knowing soul puts a framed photo of Natalie Wood in a bikini across my chest; my brother, a good lad, lays a Paul Newman movie on top of the photo, and finally, my sister sidles by and places a bottle of Bushmill's Irish Whiskey in the crook of my arm.
"You look thirsty, Bill. This will help," she says softly, with a knowing nod.
And in my dream, I jackknife to a sitting position, point crazily toward the back at a half-filled recycling container and scream, "Well, I wouldn't be thirsty if we didn't have to wait for THAT to be full before having a drink!"

Margie, Thanks for the comments. It was a first year bloom this spring. So,
hopefully it'll make a couple stalks this year, and show more accurate what
it's going to do. Lot's of the seedlings that bloomed this past spring are
doing really good, I moved them to a better location, more sun and better
soil. Should have clump photo's of them this spring. But, I don't wanna
count my stalks before they come up. :)

NR Digital
As far as the media were concerned, the murder of Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse and a black teenager in Florida were the same story — literally: Angry white male opens fire on "the other," his deeply ingrained racism inflamed by the tide of toxic right-wing hate infecting our public discourse. Alas, in Florida, the angry white male turned out to be a registered Democrat and half Hispanic — or, as the New York Times put it, a "white Hispanic," a descriptor never applied by its editors to, say, Sonia Sotomayor or Gloria Estefan or indeed any other person living or dead. And in Toulouse the angry white male turned out to be yet another Muhammad.
Oh, well. Better luck next time, although the pickings seem likely to get thinner: Pitch the Western world a decade or two down the road, riven by an ever-more-fractious tribalism between blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims, and the one surviving nonagenarian neo-Nazi white supremacist will be at the retirement home. But it'll still all be his fault.

Here is an informative posting from Gayle Kamp, who was nice enough to permit
me to send to the list:
I agree about the recognition and credits. I also agree that there should be
more garden awards at the Convention gardens, not less. A garden does not
have to be the 'best garden'. There could be several awards. For example,"
My kind of garden award" voted on by the conventioneers. Another award
could be for the 'use of garden sculpture and art', 'Japanese Garden'.
There are all kinds of possibilities. 'My kind of Garden' could be selected
by the conventioneers and other awards be selected by committee(s).
Sometimes an award might not be given. Awards could be given for a garden of
owners design, etc., vs landscape architect. Just ideas.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I read some of the the thread, En Masse has had the same issues, I'm guessing it's the game.
And so what if Frogster sucks? If you want to play the game with a decent ping, that's your only choice.
The game itself has many issues (it's almost dead in Korea with only 4 servers) but Frogster is helping Tera's debacle...
Let's look at the claims.
As you can see when you scroll the image to show the hidden infos it were just 290 People that took the survey. Is 290 people the Tera EU population? Surely not. Makes you wonder why the OP claimed it was.
But there's another question. Is it really 290 Tera EU players? Let's see where the poll was helt. Oh right, the retail forum, which has no restrictions on registration or even subscriptions, everybody can register and post. It gets trolled hard by ex players, Gw2 fanboys and other haters. So most likely it's not even 290 *players* but far less.
A perfect example of a survey that doesn't mean crap IMHO.
Eat more fish!
Just like the poster above said, the poll is absolutely garbage and means nothing.
It's a perfect example of a poor way to take a poll. Political parties and news shows pull this same kind of crap all the time. They make numbers look bigger and more meaningful than they are because they omit important information like how many people actually participated or how the participants were selected, etc...
I have no doubt Frogster isn't popular with a lot of its users, but it doesn't make the poll any more reliable.
Yeah, right. GW2 fanbois. Goodluck and God help with Frogster.
Frogster is bad in many ways, censorship, crappy support service, delays, everybody knows, is because actually i'm playing on the En Masse Us server.
Yea i have 200+ ping but is playable and i prefer this way that give even only a cent to a company like this.

I know that you must be devastated, as I am in shock. As you well know I
enjoyed teasing you and Reet and loved the times you visited my garden and
with the Club. Especially the time I made you drive at 90 miles per hour to
come and get a couple of plants. And Reet seemed to get a kick out of it! I
can only imagine that she must have had a wonderful life and was a
tremendous mother as your love for her was so strong. I share a tear with
you as I write this and find a hole in my heart! I can not imagine a hosta
convention without seeing the two of you together. I pray that she is now
mediating the battles between Rick Thompson and Judy Rocco as they prepare
the heavenly hosta garden!

The profits first. An increase of "just" 6.6 per cent to pounds 1.43bn may not seem much set against some banks, but it actually rather understates the position. Halifax has chosen the conservative approach in accounting for the cost of mortgage incentives, writing them off against profits in the year they are incurred - pounds 626m of it last year. Others, Lloyds- TSB, Woolwich and Abbey National included, have been less guarded in their approach, choosing to amortise these costs over several years.
But the real talking point about these results is that seemingly arcane thing - tier one capital. Halifax's ratio of free capital to liabilities at 14 per cent is about double the norm for UK high street banks and even more comfortably in excess of recommended international levels. A swift back-of-the- envelope calculation reveals that this leaves Halifax with roughly pounds 3.5bn of surplus capital to spend.
So what to do with all that money? There are three options - spend it on acquisitions, spend it on organic growth by launching a fierce price war in existing markets, or give it to shareholders. Of the three the latter would seem to have most to commend it. There will be millions of members trying to dump their free shares in the early months after flotation. Designing a scheme to mop up all that excess with the company's own money would surely be a comparatively easy thing.
This, however, may be to expect too much from a management which has already begun to talk, all misty-eyed, about its long- term "mission". Could any management newly unleashed on the publicly quoted sector, and with such a stash of money burning a hole in its pocket, really be expected to adopt such an eminently sensible approach? Bitter experience ought to suggest that it could not. The Halifax "mission" is to become "the leading provider of personal financial services in the UK". Halifax certainly has the money and the size to buy that position, but has it also got the nous? The risk of profligate use of capital seems high.
Picture at ICI is not what it seems
Times are hard round at ICI. Sir Ronnie Hampel, who divides his time between chairing the company and trying to decide whether the corporate governance fascists have gone far enough, took a pounds 654,000 pay cut last year after ICI's profits fell off a cliff.
Quite right too, you might think from the man who has been handed the baton by Sir Adrian Cadbury. What better example of boardroom probity, responsibility and accountability could there be than this sacrifice from the chairman of the Hampel Committee?
The magnanimity did not stop there. Charles Miller Smith, drafted in as chief executive from Unilever two years ago, also saw his remuneration dwindle, although by the less spectacular amount of pounds 84,000. Ditto the rest of the boardroom team, who took their share of the pain as profits plummeted by pounds 348m and earnings per share shrank by a half.
This collective donning of the hairshirt is not quite what it seems at first glance. Nearly all of the reduction in Sir Ronnie's pay was due to two factors: moving from the chief executive's job to the role of chairman and the payment in 1995 of a thumping pounds 425,000 bonus for pulling off the Zeneca demerger.
The picture with the other board members is also less black and white. Even though each one took a headline cut in pay, their basic salary during the annus horribilis in question actually rose. In Mr Miller Smith's case this was partly due to him only having served as chief executive for part of the year in 1995. None of the other directors, who all enjoyed double- digit increases in their basic, had this excuse.
For all ICI's woes, Mr Miller Smith still pocketed pounds 500,000 just for turning up to work in 1996. Rob Margetts, who has been put in charge of ICI's problem child, industrial chemicals, got an increase in his basic from pounds 285,000 to pounds 325,000 while the finance director, Alan Spall, went from pounds 267,000 to pounds 310,000.
But hey, guys, just remember that no one got an annual bonus in 1996. Given the company's parlous financial performance that is scarcely surprising. What may puzzle shareholders is why anyone took home a bigger basic when profits and earnings were going in the other direction.
The game is up for Littlewoods' stores
James Ross is absolutely right to sell Littlewoods' retail arm - it is a duff business which has shown no response to the intensive care lavished on it in recent years. Whether he is likely to achieve the price he wants is less clear cut. His claim that Littlewoods will only sell the business as a going concern is so much hooey. No one would want to run the stores as they stand, so this is only ever going to be a property deal and the pounds 450m Iceland was prepared to pay for the sites a year ago may not be so very different from the price tag Asda or Tesco might attach to the sites.
The extent of the operation's problems was underscored by yesterday's announcement of flat operating profits in the year to December. Despite pouring pounds 140m of capital investment into the business over the past three years, profits still languish well below the level they achieved in 1993. With like-for-like sales growing at only 3 per cent in the run-up to Christmas, barely half the rate achieved by sharper peers, Mr Ross has realised the game is up for this tired old brand.
For Littlewoods the company, the decision to sell marks an extraordinary U-turn in strategy. Three years ago, when Littlewoods last assessed its mix of businesses, the future was said to lie in retail. It was mail order that was earmarked for sale. Still, one of the merits of wholesale management clear-outs is the opportunity they give new brooms to reverse their predecessors' mistakes. Littlewoods has a tiny share of the high street and has proved itself inadequate to the task of keeping up with the increasingly competitive pace. In mail order, if it gets the MMC's nod on the planned Freemans deal, it will at least be neck and neck with GUS with a quarter of the market.
There is a lot to do at Littlewoods, especially if the rumoured flotation is less off-the-agenda than Mr Ross claims. The group finds itself in the unenviable position of earning a poor return of 8 per cent on its employed capital, a full 3 percentage points lower than the cost of those funds. If the Moores family is unhappy with that, the City is unlikely to be any more impressed.

Leto Photography & Video Productions was established in 2000 after several years in business. Our past experience working for other studios enabled us to learn what is important in capturing great Stills that our clients will cherish forever. I enjoy meeting new people on a whole. I'm Mike Leto, I specialize in taking pictures of people because I am quite the people person. When I take photos of anyone, I try and make it the most easy going and fun experience! Being professional is one thing i been told from my models i have worked with. I have been shooting for Three Yrs now helping models with building up portfolio. I am willing to travel mostly anywhere in Jersey. If you would like to shoot with this summer please let me know. Feel free to message me with any questions! Thanks, Mike Leto L Studio Photography
