Shahin's Story
Shahin's father abandoned her and her family. She lives with her mother and four siblings. Shahin's oldest brother works cutting hair, and the rest of her family works at home making kites. Given her family's situation, Shahin's work is needed to help cover the household expenses.
Shahin joined Juhapura CFS in October 2009. CFS teacher, Firdosben, says that when she first came to class, Shahin did not know how to read and write and had a serious stammering problem. Firdosben helped Shahin overcome her problem. Shahin's mother Rihanaben says that she is happy that her daughter is now able to read and write properly. She also noticed that after attending CFS, Shahin became more disciplined and responsible. She is now ready to go to formal school.
The Program
The Child Friendly Spaces Program started with 3 centres in 2008 and now has expanded to include children of labourers from Construction Sites (which are being supported by the Developers). These Non Formal Classes are the only opportunity these migrant labourers get to carry on with an education when their parents move to the city in search for work during the non-agricultural seasons in the villages.
Today the Child Friendly Spaces is being supported by multiple stakeholders, which is making it possible to reach out to more child labourers in the city of Ahmedabad.
We thank all the donors who have generously given through Global Giving – you are making it possible to help a child fully live his/her childhood.
232 children are currently being supported through this project.
Activities at Juhapura Centre (Other centres including construction site classes mentioned in the attached PDF)
Blackboard teaching method is used at Juhapura CFS. A study kit inclusive of pens, notebooks and text books is provided. Alphabet books, picture books and chants are used for teaching them. Their class starts with a short a prayer. Attendance is taken each day and field visit is done each day to at least two students home. Children are taught math, days of the week, name of the months, counting, alphabets- in Gujarati and English, words, shapes and drawing. Singing and dancing also happens in class sometimes to freshen up the children. Homework is also given to them based on the class work.
The children have been taken on educational trips to Science City, Kakaria Lake and Zoo in the past few months.
They have had interactive session with students and interns from around the world where they come and tell them about their country and people by various photographs and teach them new things. The children also interacted with a foreign intern from Peru; Valeria Ines Rojas (Dutch university Universiteit Utrecht) who was working as a part of CFS for her research study. She told the children about her country and people through presentation and photographs & conducted various fun filled interactive sessions with them like photography.
Sugandha Deva and Trishla Jhaveri interns at SAATH from NIT, Bhopal and Symbiosis, Pune respectively; organized a Child against Labour Week 2011 (13-17 June 2011) at all the CFS centers themed Family Security under which workshops like Origami, Movie- Jatak Tales, poetry, and storytelling were conducted and importance and love of family was inculcated.
Nutrition is provided to all the children. Besides conducting regular health check-ups, children receive daily snacks. Starting from this month, children started receiving an actual meal prepared by the teacher and a snack. By improving their nutrition, their health and school performance is expected to consequently improve. This is generally after the class is over. Nutrition includes healthy food material like milk and bananas and snacks like sev and peanuts. A lunch box is provided to the students in which these snacks are packed and given to them.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

Yeah I sent V-MODA an e-mail; it was kind of a long note relative to others that I've seen (I asked if he could write something like: personally inspected by Val Kolton + other stuff). I'm not too bummed out about it though.
List of tracks I've used for the cymbals:
Cloudkicker - Amy I Love You
Illness Sickness - Anything But Postrock
Battles - Futura
Matt Mayfield - It's All About You
12 Girls Band - 莫高窟 (Mo Gao Ku)
Malice Mizer - Le ciel
So I listened to those songs and to me they the cymbals don't sounds plastiky and sounds as they should.
But then again mine have 11 hours of burn in. So just burn them in maybe overnight and they should be fine.

"After my five month old's first Christmas, I wanted to send thank you cards to the family for all the great toys and teethers she received. What better way than custom printed thank yous with pictures of her enjoying some of them? These were a decent price to get the job done!"
"These thank you. Cards were a great way for my girls to send a personal thank you, with less work for me. Even if the girls' handwriting isn't completely legible, the pictures on the side say it all!!!! Very satisfied as usual!"
"I really like the one-page style postcard type card. I didn't have the cursive last name layer. Just the printed names. I sort of wished I could have done it without any name at all, but for some reason I couldn't make it happen. Maybe that was just me being computer illiterate. But very happy nonetheless."
"These are the cutest personalized note cards - very preppy, crisp, clean. Appropriate for all ages."
"I ordered these for thank you notes for Christmas gifts. Very nice card stock, good quality envelopes. Would order again."
Keeping up with the holidays can feel like a whirlwind of activities, events and planning, but Shutterfly has just what you need to make saying thank you easier. Our holiday themed thank you cards come in a variety of styles that you'll love. Customize your cards with colors, designs, photos or sentiments that are all your own. There's never a better time than the holiday season to share your gratitude.

Perhaps more interesting than the things he actually says is the reaction of both the national and state media to the concept of Gov. Bobby Jindal as a politician of national concern.
Four years ago, the card carrying members of the liberal news media were overjoyed at the election of Barack Obama as President. In the process, they abandoned any pretext of fair and balanced reporting.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, talk show host Bill Cunningham was accused of racism. His crime was to use the full name of Barack Hussein Obama at a campaign rally. To liberals, including Republican nominee John McCain, it was somehow racist to mention Obama's middle name. Never mind that the President has often referred to his middle name and it was heard by millions of Americans when he took the oath of office. Incredibly, Cunningham had crossed some sort of imaginary line created by the liberal news media and Democrats who work full time to protect Barack Obama.

OMG , ppl are crazy
Can I draw your attension to this thread please? These people are asking for a christain Kin to join, and I'm not sure if you noticed it.
Why is it necessary for a faith based kinship? I don't believe that this should be allowed. No faith plays a part in the lore (other than what the professor wrote into the background) and I resent some of the attitudes I have seen from people in some of these kinships (not this particular one). If you want to put the little fish on the back of your car, that is fine, but leave your beliefs out of my game and I will do the same for you (I am a heathen).
While I admit I'm perplexed myself and I would never join a kin based on faith only (notwithstanding the fact that I'm a practising Catholic), I say "why not?" As long as they are respectful (which seems the case) and do not antagonize other players based on their beliefs, they should be allowed to have fun together.
Why shouldn't it be allowed? If people are forming faith based groups so they can share aspects of their faith within their kin chat, kin events, etc... how is that putting our beliefs in your game? You don't see or hear it, so why should it bother you?
As far as why people join them... one reason is language. I know when I am grouped with my kin mates, I don't have to worry about my little ones hearing words I'd rather not have them exposed to.
I am sorry you've received ill treatment from some members of faith based kins, but that doesn't mean we're all bad, or that those are the only people acting likes jerks.
Mains - Sampaguita 100 hobbit mini & Meggie - 100 captain. Army of alts: Lunelleth - 91 hunter/Cwenhild - 62 champ/Euraweth - 58 LM/Eadolwyn - 53 warden/Cinnamum - 30 burg/Ajuga - 26 guard/Idhreneth - 24 RK/Samieth - 6 beorning and Solveij the Pacifist (til she gets drunk) - 71 RK.
Stormstone lv75 Rune-keeper
Stoda lv75 Minstrel
Baldere lv65 Loremaster
And yet by this very post, you can't abide by your own demands. Voluntary kin, in a thread that clearly states what it is which you didn't have to click on; this is in no way part of your game. You actually had to go out of your way to get on this thread and push your negative comment into someone else's game.If you want to put the little fish on the back of your car, that is fine, but leave your beliefs out of my game and I will do the same for you (I am a heathen).
Apart from the family definition of the word "kinship", the dictionary also proposes the following:
A group of individuals who are like-minded in faith fits that definition perfectly. You relate to people who don't hold to a particular religious belief and they relate to those who do. This is no different than people who roll play a specific way having their own kin.Originally Posted by Dictionary.com
So, a suggestion comes to mind. Stay out of someone else game if you don't like it.
The Order of The Silver Flame - A fun, mature, helpful and friendly kin. Come join us on Silverlode!
This is so stupid, when did religion came to games?? It's like adding religion in animation, thts so wrong!!!! I'm a muslim but i dont want to create a muslim kin, cuz

"I'm not a thief, I'm an opportunist."
If I were on the Brandywine server, I would join this kin in a heartbeat.
God bless you all.
"I'm not a thief, I'm an opportunist."
I know you guys said to send mail to the recruiter but I thought I would say hey and and that I look forward to possibly joining! my in game name is shadwhunter, hope to hear from you guys soon!
Some clarification for future reference: While it is true that the Community Guidelines prohibit religious topics in the forum, faith-based kinships are allowed in the game. Consequently, such kinships are also entitled to use the forums to advertise and recruit new members. This is not a violation of rules so long as it does not exceed simple recruitment and the discussion of religious issues does not spill over into other, unrelated threads. So far, this thread has done neither and I would therefore kindly ask everyone who is not interested in participating in this kinship to simply ignore its recruitment call. Conversely, I would ask any willing participants in this thread to please refrain from engaging in controversial discussions that may arise. That's what the report button is for.
Report, don't retort.
do you guys raid?
If I was on your sever I would join your kin.
Actually, religious content has always existed in gaming. Morrowind, Skyrim, Oblivion, and even Final Fantasy X involves religion of some kind. Let's not forget about all those Christian-based games out there, like Heaven (the game). Dungeons and Dragons mentions religion several times in their video games, I do know this much. I myself am a Christian, though I admit, I believe in the unification of all Christian denominations, not the separation. My character is low leveled in landroval, so... I may actually go and join.
I thought talking about religion was against the rules on these forums. I've had my posts deleted in the past because they were deemed to have religious content. Yet you get away with making an entire kinship and thread based on religion. How does this happen? lol
Also - and this is partly in response to your "free will" argument (since I love an interesting debate) - we don't really have "free will". That is a myth. How you behave, act - the way your brain works ect... it's all biological and cultural. We are all victims of our genes and environment - and people who are born with mental problems or are raised up in horrible environments don't choose to be deranged.
And I"m not making excuses for anyone's behavior either. I'm just saying people don't '"choose" to be who they are. Life made them that way. No one wakes up one day and goes "think i'm going to become a nutjob and go on a rampage then blow my head off". It just doesn't work like that. And pretending it does over-simplifies it.

Acer preparing Iconia B1 successor and an affordable 10 incher this summer
0. phoneArena 22 Apr 2013, 06:34 posted on
Acer is preparing a successor to its ultra-affordable Iconia B1 tablet and the company is rushing to release it earlier than expected...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. FlushGordon (unregistered)
Another sure fire craptastic
release from Acer
Seriously, is it really that hard to manufacture a good tablet without being stingy cheap?
2. ajac09 (Posts: 1482; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
yeah those are called the note 10.1, note 8.0, asus transformer line, nexus line ect ect.
3. FlushGordon (unregistered)
The hell is your point? ACER makes good tablets now? Lol
Take a hike Acer employee
4. tadaa (Posts: 267; Member since: 18 Apr 2013)
Because every person in the world can afford premium tablets. Even the nexus 7 costs north of $325 in my country so a 'stingy cheap' tablet is a welcome addition for us
5. siluro (Posts: 46; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
I have a Note 10.1 and it's really cheaply built if you ask me, creaks and sinks into itself in many places. Not saying that it's not functional though, I really appreciate the s-pen which is why I bought it in the first place.
Acer has no place in the high end market really since they've always made a cheaper, and more inferior product. So this is the right market for them, but they are late to the game and have stiff competition with the likes of HP, Kindle, and many more... If they can somehow make this a very good device for very cheap then perhaps it may catch on.

Putting your barely clothed body on a narrow board in the path of a 30-foot wall of water and hoping and praying that a great white shark doesn't mistake you for a seal doesn't sound like much fun. But there's obviously a powerful thrill and adrenaline rush (and other good reasons) that motivate the surfer to ride the waves. The rest of us can watch from the safety of the beach or the couch.
Today's digital photography has captured some amazing shots of monster waves and daring surfers riding the tube. "Hang Ten" posters look good on any wall and Pacific surfing prints can inspire and motivate surf riders of all ages.

ATLANTA (AP) — As the nation and world celebrated the memory of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, his two sons and daughter were caught up in their latest legal fight over control of their father's legacy.
On Aug. 28, his estate filed a complaint in an Atlanta court asking a judge to stop a nonprofit devoted to King's memory from using his image, likeness and memorabilia. The date was the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the slain civil rights icon's famous speech.
The estate is run by King's sons, Martin Luther King III and Dexter King, while The Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change is run by King's remaining living daughter, Bernice King.
The estate claims in the filing that it is the owner of the worldwide rights and property interests involving King's name, image, likeness, recorded voice and memorabilia. That includes his writings, speeches, sermons and letters, as well as the remains and coffin in his crypt, the complaint says.
The estate in March 2007 granted a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to the center to use King's name, likeness and image and to publicly exhibit his writings and spoken words at the center, the complaint says.
The estate supports the center's work and has been its largest financial contributor for the past decade, but the relationship between the two "has recently become strained, resulting in a total breakdown in communication and transparency," the complaint says.
An audit and review of the center's practices and procedures conducted by the estate in April revealed that the care and storage of the physical property is unacceptable as it could be damaged by fire, water, mold, mildew or theft, the complaint says. After failed meetings and communications, the estate sent a letter to the center on Aug. 10 saying it would terminate the license at the end of a 30-day notice period, the complaint says.
The estate told the center in the letter that it could prevent the termination by: putting CEO Bernice King on administrative leave pending the final outcome of the audit investigation; give the estate approval power over the use, care and treatment of the memorabilia until another solution can be implemented; and remove Alveda King, the civil rights leader's niece, and former Atlanta mayor and civil rights veteran Andrew Young from the center's board of directors.
The estate says Alveda King tried to impede the audit investigation and that Young willfully infringed the estate's intellectual property rights.
Stephen Ryan, a lawyer for Bernice King, said in a letter on Aug. 14 to The King Center's general counsel that her brothers were exercising their majority control over the estate "to take actions that directly harm the King Center," with the goal of hindering or ending the center's current name and operations.
The King brothers have disregarded their obligations to the nonprofit center in favor of their own financial interests, and their actions risk tarnishing and reducing their father's legacy, Ryan wrote. Their actions are an effort to force the center's board to give them control, and are "totally inconsistent with their duties to the King Center, and the spirit of their father and mother, the founder of the King Center," Ryan wrote.
King was assassinated in Memphis in April 1968. His wife, Coretta Scott King, died in 2006 and Yolanda King, the Kings' eldest child, died in 2007. That left the three remaining siblings as the sole shareholders and directors of their father's estate, but their relationship deteriorated over legal battles.
Bernice King and Martin Luther King III sued Dexter King in 2008 to force him to open the books of their father's estate. The lawsuit claimed Dexter King, the estate's administrator, had refused to provide documents concerning the estate's operations and that he had shut them out of decisions.
The siblings avoided a public jury trial over their legal feud by agreeing to a settlement in October 2009 and a judge in March 2010 dismissed most of the remaining legal claims in the dispute between them. All three siblings said at the time that they looked forward to mending the rifts and that significant progress had been made with settlement.

text:
Here's a fact worth reiterating: despite the severe shocks and imbalances that have hit it off and on during the early years of this century, the world economy continues to grow, with low inflation. Of course, performance varies across countries and continents, but there are two generalizations you can make: The already rich countries keep enjoying expanding economies, and in the rest of the world millions of people overcome poverty every year, thanks to economic growth. Is there a force underlying this benign evolution that transcends national borders? Yes. That force is international economic integration–or globalization, if you wish. The market economy's capacity to fulfill human needs is being enhanced to an unprecedented extent by international trade and investment.
National economies have become increasingly interdependent, and on the whole this process has added scale, flexibility and productivity to the global economy. Facilitated by modern transportation and communications and the elimination of trade barriers, specialization–that crucial vehicle of the market economy–has become more and more sophisticated, as shown by the complexity and efficiency of contemporary supply chains. In today's global economy firms and countries no longer specialize in the production of goods alone but increasingly in the finer tasks that make up the manufacturing, commercial and financial processes, bringing about lower costs, better quality and more choice for consumers.
Great Source of Strength
Globalization is providing the world with not only greater economic opportunities but also a remarkable resilience to events that in the past would have proven highly disruptive. If you consider recent regional wars, terrorism, the skyrocketing prices of oil and other commodities, and the laxity in the fiscal and monetary policies of some of the major economies, you may conclude that it's only through the globalization of the market economy that we've been able to sail through such stormy waters.
For example, the slack in global demand created by the sluggishness in the European and Japanese economies during past years was more than compensated for by the rapid and vigorous globalization of China and other emerging economies. The new players have made world trade more dynamic and enlarged the pool of world savings available to finance the substantial current account deficits incurred by the U.S. in recent years. Although of questionable sustainability and convenience in the medium and long term, these deficits have nevertheless helped to support overall demand and growth in the short term–without, as yet, shaking international financial stability. The sharp increase in commodity prices over the last three years has not led to unbearable inflationary pressure because of the increasing presence of labor-abundant countries in world markets and the rise in productivity brought about by the intensification of global competition.
Don't Forget History
Globalization has, in short, been an incredible force for good in the world. But is this force inexhaustible? Unfortunately, no. Modern globalization has so far proved stronger than the forces and events arrayed against it, but there's no guarantee this will always be the case. Just as with any other economic or social phenomenon, globalization faces risks that could challenge its growth or, worse, cause its reversal. This has happened before, most dramatically in 1914, with the outbreak of World War I, the beginning of the end of an extraordinary expansion in international trade, investment and migration that had taken place during most of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Historians and economists increasingly remind us that human folly could once again cause the unthinkable. The inability to prevent violent conflict, as well as faulty policies in the face of economic adversity, were at the root of the incredible destruction of life, capital, trade and prosperity suffered by the pre-baby-boom generations of the 20th century. The strategies to tackle a new wave of globalization reversal are no mystery; they were learned through hard experience.
The pursuit of progress and security at the global level starts by every country's keeping its house in order, especially those that have a responsibility to lead by example. Part of this includes a country's supporting, in a rational way, its own people as they adapt to the rigors inherent in free and open markets. Another essential component is rules-based international cooperation, particularly when it comes to containing or dissipating geopolitical threats to global stability.
Following World War II this concept of cooperation was embodied in various institutions and covenants, which, for the most part, worked well for many years. Lately, however, the value of international cooperation seems to have been forgotten. More frequently than not international laws, agreements and institutions are bypassed, and various attempts to update these indispensable instruments have failed roundly. The vision and leadership that created and sustained them over time is now missing. We were harshly reminded of this vacuum this summer, first with the latest collapse of the Doha Round and then with a new military conflagration in the Middle East. Fortunately, the latter has– at least for the time being–been subdued, revealingly, by old-fashioned diplomacy and an institution much vilified in recent years: the United Nations.

If you're aware of the 4chan or 7chan imageboards,
then you would be aware they have wallpaper boards.
The problem with these boards is they are frequently clogged
with people posting the same wallpapers over and over again,
so this site downloads all the wallpapers posted on 4chan's /w/, /hr/, and /wg/ boards
and 7chan's /wp/ board.
It then stores the image in a database ready for you to search.
Some images have no searchable features
(for example, the filename is "1251193196442.jpg")
and so these images need tagging.
4walled uses a script to look for images posted on the boards listed above.
When it finds new images, it adds them to a searchable database.
The site is currently run and moderated by 4 individuals.
You can find them on IRC as ThermalSloth, slashbeast, jonathan and ffMeta.
ThermalSloth handles administrative tasks such as paying for the server and handling ads and donations.
slashbeast is the primary server adminstrater and handles software configurations.
jonathan is the primary developer,
and is responsible for adding new features to the site and improving existing ones.
ffMeta wrote the image scraper that is used to collect images from the boards.
If the problem prevents you from viewing the site,
then send us an email at [email protected].
Other problems or suggestions either e-mail or drop by on the IRC channel and let us know.
Whenever you search for images, it shows the results in a thumbnailed form.
When you click on the thumbnail, an image detail page is loaded with a field where you can edit tags.
There is also a report button to report images which either aren't wallpapers,
are just plain stupid, or are illegal in most jurisdictions for wallpapers (e.g. gore, cp, bestiality).
See http://blog.desudesudesu.org/?p=1525 for the core of the matter.
I chose not to use his code for the reasons he's mentioned as well.
For anyone who has viewed it,
they would also agree that it's poorly documented so it's hard for other programmers to pick up and correct.
A valid question.
The ads are there to help pay for the server costs (donating helps more though).

Yeah... how the hell... I mean, of course K-Mart wants to go be on a winning team, but how are the Clippers affording him with the talent they have already?
Unless the roof caves in on their starting five, nothing on the West can stop them. (Heck, almost nothing on the East either.)

I was so excited when Good Choice Reading sent out the sign-ups for the cover reveal for ETERNAL, the third and final book in author Kristi Cook's Winterhaven trilogy. I loved the covers for the first two books in the series, so I signed up, sight unseen. Which is not something I normally do. But I just knew it had to tie in with the other two covers – which I loved – so I couldn't wait to see it and be a part of this reveal!
I think it's beautiful and simple and elegant and very different from so many of the book covers in YA today.
I love that this third cover has a bit of a modern feel to it with the shape of the hourglass, the bright pink color of the sand and the brighter and bolder hues of the blue. And while I loved that the objects on those first two covers had a more of an old fashioned feel, I love that the object on this cover offers something sleek and modern.
I love how the butterfly ties in with each cover but you get to see it from a different angle on each. And I love that the author's name and title are similarly placed on all three covers, but with each successive book both the author's name and title get bolder in color. As do the colors of the covers themselves, each of which is just a little bit bolder than the last.
I think the font used on each is very pretty, yet not overly ornate, and I love that the scroll element is used in one letter of the title on each of the covers. I also love that this book references MIRAGE just as that book referenced HAVEN.
I am surprised that there isn't a tagline or some kind of teaser on this cover, as there had been on the first two, talking of destiny. Perhaps the title alone hints at what the characters' destinies might be. Or maybe the leading sentence of the description says it all.
I suppose I'll have to read it to find out. Once it releases, that is….
But that's what I think about the cover for ETERNAL. What about you? Do you have cover love for this final installment in the Winterhaven series? Do you think it stands out from its peers in a good way? Do you like the artistry and simple beauty of these covers or do they not strike the right visual note for you?
I'd love to hear what you think!
About the Book
In the final book of the Winterhaven trilogy, Violet McKenna and her friends find themselves right in the middle of a vampire war. The stakes have been raised, the danger unavoidable now. As the Warriors' senior year draws to a close, not everyone makes it out alive. Who will be left standing at the end of it all? Will Aidan be a part of Violet's future, or is he just a specter of the past?

i think the cover is beautiful. I love how all the covers have such simple but, beautiful images. my favorite cover is Eternal
I really like this cover. It ties with MIRAGE as my favorite one of the series, just because I liked the color scheme of MIRAGE a bit better, but I like the image and symbolism of ETERNAL, too. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is Eternal. I think it has to do with the colors and the way the light reflects on the hourglass. Thanks!

Posted Fri 4th of November 2011
My sister, Laura, and I have always been close. But when she came out as a lesbian, everything changed. Our parents wanted nothing to do with her. They kicked her out after she refused to "change her mind", so she went to live with her girlfriend, Amanda
When Laura left, it was as if she had been erased. My parents never talked about her, or even acknowledged that they had once had a daughter. It made me sick, as I loved and missed my sister. They went on as if nothing had happened, but I could see a certain sadness in their eyes, my mother's especially. After about six months I decided that it was time for answers.
"Mom, Dad, I need to talk to you," I yelled across the house, from the kitchen.
"What is it Mike?" my mother fired back, form the living room.
"Just come into the kitchen please," I responded.
I heard the shuffling of socks on carpet as my parents worked their way to the kitchen.
"What is this about, Michael," my father said firmly, clearly aggravated.
"… About Laura," I started, before my dad cut me off.
"This conversation is over," he said, and stormed from the room.
"Dad!" I yelled after him, but received no response.
Unable to stand my parents anymore, I ran up to my room and began packing. While I was rustling things around looking for clothes and other essentials, I found a note Laura had given me before she left. It only had her new phone number, and a message saying I'll miss you with a sad face. While the number itself had been in my phone since the day she left, I had never used it. No time like the present, I thought to myself.
I scrolled through my phone, and quickly found her number. While it rang, I became nervous. What if she was mad for not calling earlier? What if she hated me now? What if she forgot about me? What if her number had changed? Thoughts like this mad me go crazy, until …
"Hello?" the female voice on the other end of the phone asked, with a slight laugh.
"Hi," I responded, "Laura?"
"No, guess again," she said again with more laughs.
"Amanda?" I asked again, this time with more certainty.
"Bingo, now guess what you have won," Amanda ordered me.
"I don't know, a puppy?" I said sarcastically.
"Nope, you've won a genuine conversation with me."
"Well that is what I wanted anyway," I lied in a flirty way.
"Oh really?" she asked
"Honestly, Amanda, I don't know you as well as I should."
"Well why don't you come over and get to know me? Laura is at work right now, but we can chat until she gets back."
"That sounds like a great idea," I said, genuinely excited.
"Ok, we live at sixth and pine, apartment number four,"
"I will be there in twenty minutes."
"See you soon."
Despite my mother's protest I finished packing my bag, walked out of the house, and jumped into my truck. While pulling out of the driveway, I wondered if things would ever be the same. I was leaving them, the same way that Laura had, in anger. She hadn't come back or even called in six months, and I didn't think I would either.
Driving through town to Laura and Amanda's place was easy. I was familiar with Sixth Street, but I had never been as far north as pine. I pulled into a parking lot that I could leave my truck in all night that was close enough to the building for me to come and go. After locking my door, I put my jacket on, and walked toward the front door. As I was on my way up the front steps, I noticed the front door was unlocked. I wondered if Amanda had left it open for me, or if someone else had just forgot to shut it.
Going inside and finding number four, I knocked on the door.
"One sec," I heard faintly, from what sounded like the back of the apartment.
After a few seconds, a beautiful woman with a lovely smile opened the door. She was holding her towel up with one hand and a wine glass with the other. She stood up to my shoulder, with dark red hair down to just below her chin. Her eyes, a sparkling blue, had a soul piercing gaze. The curves of her body, perfect in my eyes. I was nearly floor, being greeted by such a beautifully sexy woman.
"… hi," was all I could manage, in my state of delirium.
"Come in," she said hurriedly, not wanting the outside chilliness to creep in.
Wow, I thought, she is so beautiful. I rushed into the apartment as ordered.
"Have a seat," she offered, "there are cheese and crackers on the table if you are hungry. I just need to dry off and get changed for bed. You caught me right after getting out of the shower," she laughed genuinely.
"Thanks, but I'm fine. I do need to go to the bathroom, thought. Where is it?" I asked
"Right across the hall from my room, the first right down the hallway," She yelled back, from inside her room.
I walked down the hall, went into the bathroom, turned on the light, and closed the door. After finishing up my business, I washed my hands, and looked into the mirror above their sink. Seeing my reflection in the mirror inspired me to look at myself and ask, "what are you doing?" The thoughts going through my head were all about my sister's girlfriend, Amanda. They were devious thoughts, dirty thoughts. I wanted her badly, even though I knew it would crush my sister. The way she seemed to look straight into my soul, it amazed me. After washing my face and hands again quickly, I resolved to not try anything, and walked out of the bathroom.
As I shut the bathroom door, I turned around to see that the door to Amanda's room was open. I knew she was in there changing and the devil on my shoulder took over, I peeked inside. I saw the same beautiful woman, who had me awe struck before, now with her towel on the floor, and nothing new on except a pair of comfy looking boy shorts. While looking for a shirt in her closet, she bobbed her head to a loud song I didn't recognize, so she couldn't really hear anything else. I opened the door a bit more to get a better view of her. Just as I did, the song hit a fast paced chorus and she jumped, spinning toward me, and landed facing her door. I was scared, I thought for sure she was going to caught and she was going to be upset, but her eyes remained closed. Realizing that I was safe, at least for the moment, I noticed her wonderful breasts were still uncovered. Her beautiful C cups bounced slightly as she rocked and jumped to the music. After staring for a minute I decided not to push my luck. I quietly walked to the living room and sat down.
When I sat down the music stopped, and I looked over toward the hallway entrance. Amanda came out wearing only a tight black pair of boy shorts and a tight pink t-shirt, which didn't cover her midriff. I could tell she wasn't wearing a bra, as her hard nipples were poking up slightly from her perky breasts.
My mouth had become dry from all of the gawking I had done. So I asked, "Amanda, can I have something to drink?"
"You can finish my glass of wine. I am going to get another one anyway, and you can call me Mandy" she responded, with one of the cutest smiles I have ever seen, as she walked past me into the kitchen.
I picked her glass of red wine up off of the table and took a sip. I liked how it tasted, but I didn't have anything to compare it to. My parents had a strict "no alcohol until you are twenty one" policy. I took one more sip, almost draining the remainder of the glass, as Amanda walked in to the living room with a new glass and a just opened bottle of wine.
"You need a refill, Michael," she stated, as she sat down next to me and began to refill my glass.
"It's just Mike," I told her, staring into her sparkling blue eyes.
"Ok," she said softly, after filling my glass, as if she was now in awe of me.
I needed no other invitation. My hand came up to caress her face, and pulled her toward me. I kissed Amanda softly and sensually, but only briefly. She broke the kiss, only long enough to set the wine bottle on the table. Then she jumped at me, knocking me back, making me lay on the couch. I pulled her on top of me, sliding her knees up to my hips, making her straddle my midsection. She kissed me with an intense passion, as if she had wanted me from the start, just as I wanted her. I kissed back, keeping up with her intensity.
In on swift movement she pulled her tight pink top off, revealing to me once again her amazingly perky breasts. I reached my hand up to caress them, and she smiled. Her breasts were firm and her nipples hard. I could tell she was excited, as she pushed forward to continue kissing me. Amanda was making me excited also, as my groin began stirring. Before long I was rock hard, and she was very aware of it as it was poking her in the butt every time she pushed back.
I didn't want to do that; afraid she might get the wrong idea. So I placed my hands on her hips and moved her down slightly, so the head of my dick was rubbing between her clit and belly button. She let out a moan as I did that, and kissed me with renewed ferocity. My hands moved from her hips to her ass cheeks, and I helped her rock back and forth on my dick, through my pants. She kept up a rhythmic tempo, moving as if there was music.
Amanda broke our kiss and sat up, riding on my dick back and forth. My hands slid from her ass cheeks to the front of her boy shorts, pulling them down slightly.
She looked at me with a devious smile on her face and said, "is that what you want? Do you want to get me naked?"
In response, I pulled Amanda back down to me, kissed her, and whispered, "more than anything," in her ear.
She jumped off of me, stood next to the couch, and held out her hand. "Come with me to my room and we can both get naked," she said, keeping her smile.
Placing my hand in hers, I allowed her to help me up and lead me down the hall toward her bedroom. After walking into Amanda's room I closed the door behind me. She turned to me, pushed me against the wall, and kissed me again. I kissed her back passionately, overpowering her intense ferocity, pushing her back onto the bed. Before joining my beautiful new lover on her bed I removed my shirt and pants.
"I didn't think you should be the only one naked," I told her, she nodded in agreement.
I was about to climb into bed with her, but she held her hand up to stop me, saying, "Help me take off my boy shorts." I reached up, pulled her tight underwear down in one swift move, and started to climb in again. But again, Amanda held up her hand. This time she said, "I want you completely naked," with a hungry look in her eyes.
No wanting to deny either one of us another moment, I was quickly out of my boxer briefs and in the bed. Wasting no time, we went back to kissing passionately, our hands moving all over each other's bodies. Her hand slid down my body, grabbed my hard cock, and tightened.
"I want you to fuck me, Mike," she said after breaking our kiss. She positioned my dick at the entrance to her beautiful, already wet vagina and looked me in the eyes before saying, "go easy, I haven't had a man inside me in three years."
I ease my dick into her tight vagina, pushing the head in slowly but forcefully. Amanda gasps and digs her nails into the back of my neck. My hands slid up to her shoulders to help me thrust into her harder. She moans loud as I push my dick all the way into her.
"Yes, fuck me harder, Mike," she said in exasperation, as my dick pounded into her.
"You love my cock, don't you?" I asked in response.
"Yes," was all she could manage, trying to catch her breath.
My dick slammed into her tight, wet vagina, harder and harder, as she begged me to fuck her hard.
"Yes, I am a bad girl and I need to be fucked hard as punishment,"
"You are such a dirty girl," I told her as I lifted her legs up to my shoulders, so I was able to push my dick deeper inside her.
"Oh, that feels so good. Mike, get deeper in me!" Amanda moaned.
She tightened her vagina, having an intense orgasm, and pushed me over the edge.
"Amanda, I'm going to cum."
"Cum in me baby, I haven't had a man's cum inside me in so long. I forget what it feels like," she ordered.
I exploded, shooting load after load of hot cum into my sister's beautiful girlfriend. I let her legs down, pulled my dick out of her, and cradled her in my arms.
Amanda looked into my eyes again and said, "That was amazing. We should do that again sometime."
"What about Laura?"
"Oh yeah, well talk to her about it."

@Amas-Veritas I don't think he ever stated that Amanda was a lesbian, only that she was Laura's girlfriend. So she is most likely Bisexual from the writers standpoint because he also states that she hadn't been with a man i three years, implying that she has been with men in the past.

I liked this a lot, mainly because it is so different from all the pedo/incest/animal crap on this site, but you probably should have made it a little longer or added more details. Its rather hard to find believable that a lesbian would screw her lovers brother only moments after meeting him.
Just my 2 cents. :)
