THE ADVENTURES OF JAMES TULLY is a novel in stories depicting James Tully's experience growing up in the light of his mother's mental illness and the discovery that his family has secrets important to his understanding of himself. After trying to negotiate these difficulties in his working class home town of Clinton, Massachusetts, he embarks on a search for the place where he really belongs. THE ADVENTURES OF JAMES TULLY spans the protagonist's life from the age of ten through the period following his graduation from college at twenty-one. The book is divided into three sections.
As is typical in the bildungsroman form, the protagonist is a young man who forsakes his home in the search for experience and spiritual enlightenment. Ultimately, James builds a new sense of self as he moves from seeing his world as horrible and frightening to finding in it the promise of beauty.

One of my favorite games as a kid was MouseTrap, with that crazy three-dimensional Rube Goldberg device. In fact, I'm psyched that my kids love playing it as much as I do. This fantastic new app [edited] being distributed by the award-winning team behind Angry Birds absolutely reminds me of my old fave.
This is a perfect game for grade-schoolers, but a savvy preschooler may be fine with a little assistance. Or, if you're like me, you may pass the iPad to your child and ask him to help you.

We arrived to be told that there was a party in resturant so we would have to eat in bar. We booked a time slot for dinner but when we arrived bar was full of party guests and no proper table set for us. My friend negotiated with manager who dealt with it very well and provided a private room for us. Other guests on package weren't so lucky.
We were also not prepared for swimming lessons until 6pm so could not use pool.
Overall though good value for money as food and rooms were nice.

Much of my negative energy from that disastrous experience (a bit like what Canadian Diplomat Colvin is living through now perhaps, to the extreme of Prime Minister Harper proroguing parliament to conceal the issue during the Olympics, as well as extend our MPs holidays) has been vented out within the scrolls of this blog over this past year employing altruism, introspection and sublimation, both mature Defence Mechanisms.

The Leafs This Week – Dec. 1-8
Posted By Ben Fisher On Dec 8 2011 @ 3:45 pm In Toronto Maple Leafs | No Comments
What Happened
The great misleading thing about the NHL standings in the shootout era is the extra category for the "OT loss" and what it says about the team that gets one on their record. The Leafs (15-10-3) are coming off a week in which they went 1-1-1, which resembles an even, ".500" record except for the fact that the team came out on the losing end of two of its three games. Therefore, a seven-day stretch in which they still couldn't figure out the Bruins, took two points from the Rangers on the road* and came up short in overtime against the Devils at home was, in fact, a losing week.
*Curious as the Leafs' utter inability to solve Boston is their apparent mastery over the Rangers. New York sits fifth in the East and has lost just twice at home in regulation this season – both times being to Toronto. While the Bruins still have yet to see the Leafs come within two goals in any of their four meetings this year, Toronto has won both games at Madison Square Garden by a 4-2 score. They will host the Rangers twice in 2012.
What's Notable
Finishing Strong
There is an often-used refrain in basketball to dismiss obsessive talk over starting line-ups that "it's not how you start games but how you finish them". If the same holds true for hockey, then the Leafs appear to be in good shape with the way they're playing. The club hasn't been perfect in the third period of games (their five-goals-allowed implosion at home to Ottawa in October being as good an example as any), but it has certainly come through more often than not. When ahead, the Leafs have played solid, safe, defensive-minded hockey and own a 10-0 record when carrying a lead into the final frame. When trailing, their youth helps inject some of the energy needed to make a late push, as they did on Tuesday against New Jersey before falling in OT. If they maintain this tendency to display grit, hustle and character late in games, then it may be time to – I can't believe I'm saying this – reward Ron Wilson with an extension. For as much as the penalty kill remains a glaring weakness and there are still other holes, the team is clearly playing hard for him.
Where Does Colby Fit?
Great as it is to see Colby Armstrong recovered from his high ankle sprain and ready to play on Friday (although he didn't look too disappointed being on the shelf here), it's hard to see where he fits. The obvious answer is that he slides right back into his third-line wing position that vacated by the demoted Joe Colborne, but that slot could be occupied by Matt Frattin, who will lose his second-line spot to the returning Clarke MacArthur and certainly has done enough to merit avoiding fourth-line duty. Therefore, Armstrong could very well find himself trying to regain his timing on the little-used grinder line alongside David Steckel and whichever among Philippe Dupuis and Jay Rosehill happens to avoid press box duty. Probably not an ideal scenario for the likable vet, but ultimately offers a positive indication of the depth suddenly enjoyed in Toronto.
The Ontario All-Star Game
Has the NHL opened voting on the 2012 All-Star Game to anyone outside of Southern Ontario yet? I know that the Senators are hosting the annual event, but it still seems odd to see the voting dominance enjoyed by the Sens, the ninth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference, and the Leafs, the sixth-ranked team in the East. Up front, Ottawa and Toronto boast five of the top six vote-getters among Eastern forwards. I get Phil Kessel, Milan Michalek, Joffrey Lupul and maybe even Jason Spezza being in the mix alongside Sidney Crosby, but how did Daniel Alfredsson find his way in there? Meanwhile, Erik Karlsson and Dion Phaneuf rank 1-2 among Eastern blue liners in voting and James Reimer leads all goaltenders in the East. I guess ballot-stuffing offers an indication of devotion and dedication to one's team, but it winds up giving a local exhibition feel to what should be a heralded league-wide event.
What's Coming Up
@ Washington (Friday); vs. Carolina (Tuesday)
Another HNIC-less weekend for the Leafs sees them head into Washington to pay a visit to the Dale Hunter-led Capitals, who aren't likely to have forgotten the 7-1 beating that Toronto laid on them on November 19 (which might have contributed to the firing of Bruce Boudreau). Then, it's a few days off for the Buds before Tomas Kaberle, Alex Ponikarovsky, Tim Brent, Jiri Tlusty, Jay Harrison (that's a lot of ex-Leafs!) and co. come to town with the Hurricanes, led by another new head coach in Kirk Muller.

A lot of people get spooked about the word "blogger" like it is a special designation you need to earn or something. What do I write about? How do I attract an audience? That's right.

Avoiding Empty Ocean Commitments at Rio+20
World leaders have made pitiful progress on their guarantee to protect global oceans from overfishing and other threats.
In a paper published today (Friday 15th June) in Science, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and world renowned researchers have reviewed commitments made by governments to protect the world's oceans and shown that there has been little success over the past 20 years.
At the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, heads of 192 governments came together to agree on key issues - including targets for protecting vulnerable species and marine habitats and managing fishing sustainably in national waters. Ten years on, none of these targets have been met, and in some cases the situation is worse than before.
Professor Jonathan Baillie, Director of Conservation at ZSL, says: "Our analysis shows that almost every commitment made by governments to protect the oceans has not been achieved. If these international processes are to be taken seriously, governments must be held accountable and any future commitments must come with clear plans for implementation and a process to evaluate success or failure.''
Global depletion of fish stocks is threatening the integrity of ocean ecosystems. Risks posed by climate change, disease, and other pressures will have a huge impact on ecosystems already destabilized by overfishing, pollution, and other damaging activities. Collapses such as the Newfoundland cod fishery – once the largest in the world – came as a complete surprise to most people and has not recovered in the 20 years since the population crashed.
But a few areas have seen improvement. The recent creation of very large marine reserves around remote islands such as the Chagos Archipelago, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and South Orkney Islands is encouraging, and there have been improvements to the fishing gear used in some areas to reduce their impact on seabird populations. In general, however, the situation remains critical, and there is little or no protection for vulnerable marine habitats which continue to be fished in destructive ways.
ZSL's Marine Policy Officer Liane Veitch says: "There are large scale changes occurring in the oceans that weren't known to be a problem in 1992 or 2002, such as ocean acidification or mass coral bleaching, which we now know will make sustainable ocean management even more challenging. Rio+20 might be our last real chance to save ocean ecosystems and make sure we can manage marine fish stocks in a sustainable way."
Conservationists from ZSL will be in Brazil at Rio+20, encouraging governments to engage with policy makers to make a difference to our oceans. As part of the Marine Reserves Coalition, they will be hosting an oceans side event, as well as presenting the Pledge for a Better Planet to global legislators, asking them to sign a contract with the youth of today to commit to improving management of the world's resources.

After three years of review, the State Department found no significant environmental risk to Keystone so let's get it moving!
Check this out:
Fixated as we Americans are on Canada's three most attention-getting exports — polar vortexes, Alberta clippers and the antics of Toronto's addled mayor — we've somewhat overlooked a major feature of Canada's current relations with the United States: extreme annoyance.
Last week, speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Canada's foreign minister calmly but pointedly complained that the United States owes Canada a response on the Keystone XL pipeline. "We can't continue in this state of limbo," he sort of complained, in what for a placid, imperturbable Canadian passes for an explosion of volcanic rage.

text: Roland Emmerich Puts Foundation On The Back Burner, Thank GoodnessCharlie Jane Anders3/02/10 12:30pmFiled to: foundationBooksMoviesRoland EmmerichIsaac AsimovOvermindplease god no100EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Is Roland Emmerich really going to adapt Isaac Asimov's Foundation books? Maybe, but he's doing another movie first. And he's making the writer rewrite the script so the movie will have "a hero" and "a bad guy." Minor spoilers ahead. Advertisement Emmerich is going ahead with his next movie project — Anonymous, which is based on the longstanding theory that Shakespeare's plays were actually written by the 17th Earl Of Oxford. He already has Vanessa Redgrave, David Thewlis and Rhys Ifans signed up to star.So what about Foundation? Emmerich tells Empire Magazine that he might do the Asimov adaptation after Anonymous, but it depends on the script, which is currently being written by his The Patriot screenwriter, Robert Rodat. He says the script is "240 pages long! I said, 'You know what guys? Edit it down to at least under 200 pages.'" Advertisement But he adds that he's enthusiastic about the material, which he wants to do entirely in CG and 3-D motion-capture:I'm really into it. I worked with Bob on the story for weeks, sitting in a room trying to figure out how to make all the loose stories [work] and put them in a box called 'Foundation'. Bob's perfect for this thing - he also knows as a writer he has to find the hero and a bad guy in the piece. We had to come up with characters that go through [the series], which is very hard.So are you more horrified by Emmerich's description of his ideas for a Foundation script, or more relieved that he's not going to get to it any time soon?

The Small Business Administration's 8(a) Pilot Program
Published: Sep 21, 1981. Publicly Released: Sep 21, 1981.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
GAO commented on a bill that would extend the Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) Pilot Program for an additional 18 months. In an earlier testimony, GAO pointed out that the program had not been successful, and it concluded that the success of the program depended on the ability of SBA to have information available on the qualifications of 8(a) firms. SBA needs to know enough about procurement opportunities to judge whether a particular firm can do the job. GAO stated that these requirements could only be fulfilled if SBA had a workable system ensuring that its field personnel were being used in critical decisions regarding the selection and certification of firms and if procurement center representatives were being used to locate procurement opportunities. The Army, with a history of cooperation in offering contracts to the regular 8(a) program, was selected for pilot program participation. GAO concluded that opportunities exist to more fully test the pilot program in another agency that has been reluctant to volunteer procurements to the regular 8(a) program. The bill, which would require a nondefense agency for the pilot program, authorizes an extension of the program until March 31, 1983. GAO believes that it is important that SBA solve the problems that have been identified before further contracts are selected and awarded. In conclusion, GAO is in favor of an extension of the program provided SBA implements the changes recommended in the previous GAO report.

As premature proclamations go, this is a strong one: Thunder fans are watching the best series of the 2012 postseason.
Two brutally hard-fought contests have thus far resembled a boxing match, with the aging defending champs absorbing blow after blow from their upstart challengers. Or perhaps a Shakespeare tragedy, with soul-baring soliloquies from the stars occasionally interspersed with low-comedy interludes from the clowns.
Regardless of the metaphor, Oklahoma City's 2-0 series lead makes little sense. The Thunder needed a miraculous Kevin Durant heave to escape in Game 1, and a once-in-a-blue-moon misfire from a wide-open Dirk Nowitzki to survive Game 2.
Sometimes, though, the playoffs defy sense. Case in point: Kendrick Perkins awakening for 13 points and 6 rebounds – including two free throws to give his team a 3-point lead with under four minutes left – after being blanked offensively in Game 1. He even opened the game by hitting back-to-back midrange jump shots, which Dallas was willing to give him since he hit 28% of his attempts from beyond 10 feet this season.
Perkins' offensive eruption was just the tip of the fourth quarter's nonsense iceberg. What about . . .
- Westbrook and Derek Fisher – 31% three-point shooters during the regular season – hitting back-to-back threes to give the Thunder a four-point lead with under six minutes left?
- Or Durant suffering through a miserable shooting game, but finding his way to the free throw line enough to make up for it, then breaking through with a line-drive jumper to extend his team's lead as the clock ticked under 5:00?
- Or Westbrook drawing a charge from the reigning Finals MVP to stop one of Dallas' last rallies?
- Or Jason Kidd – Jason Kidd! – throwing an inexplicable pass to an opponent with his team up one and looking for the kill?
One strategic note: the Mavericks have apparently decided to concede Westbrook's elbow jumper, rather than get in his face and give him room to drive. Delonte West and Jason Kidd persisted in playing a step off even as Westbrook hit six of eleven attempts from 14-18 feet, bringing his series total from midrange to 11-20 (55%). Since he was a 40% midrange shooter during the regular season, Dallas' strategy makes sense – especially when Westbrook misfired on his last three from 16-20 feet.
Given the razor-thin margin of the first two games, should Thunder fans fear a regression to the mean for Westbrook? Or has he merely returned to his March form? He remains the most fascinating player in this series, capable of taking over games for five minutes, only to shoot his team in the foot for the next three. If his growth continues, though, he could impose his will on the wide-open Western Conference. We all need to make sure we watch.

The Lipstick Bandits Holiday Edition is near and dear to my heart because I get to play with glitter. 🙂 This time around we are layering products over a red lipstick to create a sparkly red lip.
When we came up with this challenge, I thought I was doomed. None of my five lipglosses (yeah… only five) were sparkly enough for the job. I had to be more creative and pulled out Sonia Kashuk Eye Quad in Bronzed Beauty from a swap from fellow Lipstick Bandit Danielle. The gold glitter was chunky and sparkly enough for me. 🙂
Giorgio Armani Rouge 406, Chanel Fatale, Sonia Kashuk Bronzed Beauty
Giorgio Armani Rouge 406, Chanel Fatale, glitter from Sonia Kashuk Bronzed Beauty
To get my sparkly holiday lips, I started with Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani in Rouge 406 as a base. I added a small amount of Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Fatale to create a sticky base, then patted the glitter all over for… well, pure awesomeness.
Not the lowest maintenance of lip looks, but holy crap; seeing my lips like this make me want to kick myself and yell out expletives.
If sparkly lips are your thing — and if not, why are we friends? 😛 — you definitely have to check out the rest of the Lipstick Bandits' red and sparkly lips:

Highmark, UPMC drive health care industry
Health giants' dominance raises concern over prices and innovation
May 3, 2013 4:31 AMLooking at the list of health care entities in Western Pennsylvania recording the highest revenues, it is easy to see why the ongoing Highmark-West Penn Allegheny-UPMC affiliations and battles have drawn so much attention.
The three collectively employ nearly 70,000 people and brought in more than $25 billion in revenue in 2012, with Highmark's $15.2 billion claiming the lion's share.
As the only members of local health care's billion-dollar club, they are effectively the "meds" in our "meds and eds" economy.
"They are a huge part of the economy," said Stephen Foreman, associate professor of health care administration at Robert Morris University -- and possibly too huge.
"It's clearly not a good situation," said Martin Gaynor, the E.J. Barone Professor of Economics and Health Policy at Carnegie Mellon University.
"There is a lot of good being done by both of these entities. UPMC has some of the best facilities in the world and they've got terrific physicians and nurses. But, in the long term, I don't think it's so good for our regional economy."
And the big are only getting bigger.
Among the 2012 list of the region's biggest health care organizations, the West Penn Allegheny Health System and Jefferson Regional Medical Center are now part of the Highmark family.
"The real problem with consolidation is that you don't get much in the way of innovation," Mr. Foreman said. "Why would UPMC innovate? They can fix prices pretty much and they've got no real incentive to be more efficient at this point. Why do they have to provide hospital services that are cheaper and better?"
Others on the list, such as Excela Health in Westmoreland County and St. Clair Health in Mt. Lebanon, have steadfastly held on to their independence.
"If Highmark can stop the bleeding at West Penn Allegheny and really turn them around, and make them a viable alternative to UPMC, we could come out the other side in a better place," said Mr. Gaynor.
But even in that scenario, Mr. Foreman worries about the future for the smaller independent facilities if they have to compete with UPMC's vast network and Highmark's plans for its own health care delivery network.
"If Highmark turns West Penn Allegheny around, they're going to have to move patients there from other places. I just fear these community hospitals are going to get hurt," he said.

There's something oddly funny about the cluelessness of liberal media companies when their ratings fall or their subscriptions collapse. They just refuse to admit, even consider that the business problem could be (at least in part) their own incessant liberal agitating. Instead, they seem to double down and make things even worse.
ABC's Sunday show "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" could never beat NBC, so what did the ABC braintrust do? They promoted the Bill Clinton spin artist to an everyday anchor job on "Good Morning America." Then they doubled down and replaced him with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, who is married to another Bill Clinton spin artist, Jamie Rubin. Can it get more insular?
Here's another case in point: Newsweek's subscriptions collapsed a couple of years back. How could it not be (at least in part) the umpteen Obama-worshipping cover stories that caused some subscribers to cancel. Then they really abandoned the "News" half of their title and wrote cover stories like "We're All Socialists Now" and "Is Your Baby Racist?"
Newsweek was put on the market, and the market has spoken: a $1 sale.
Washington Post Company chieftain Don Graham wasn't going to let the unwashed "rabble" of journalism win this Cracker Jack prize. So he turned away the conservatives at Newsmax magazine, as well as the publishers of the National Enquirer and TV Guide. "In seeking a buyer for Newsweek, we wanted someone who feels as strongly as we do about the importance of quality journalism," Graham said in a statement. That means nobody broke up into laughter in front of him over whether the notion of "quality journalism" is demonstrated by racist-baby exclusives.
Of course, The Washington Post wasn't going to take that dollar (and unload its obligations) with some conniving Murdoch. They obviously wanted another liberal elitist to take the reins, and so they accepted the bid of Sidney Harman, the husband of Rep. Jane Harman (D.-Calif.). This passed with flying colors for radicals like Katrina VandenHeuvel of The Nation, who hailed him on Twitter as a "decent & longtime liberal."
Twitter also contained lots of mockery. Jim Geraghty of National Review joked: "Sidney Harman bought Newsweek, the institution, for $4.95 less than the cost of Newsweek, the print edition." And: "Newsweek's cover story next week is 'MERCIFUL ATHENA: How Jane Harman balances toughness and tenderness in a dangerous world.'"
Mr. Harman has donated $85,000 to the Democratic National Committee (most recently $25,000 in 2004). He's also contributed to liberal politicians from Ted Kennedy to Barbara Boxer to Geraldine Ferraro. There's only one Republican on the list, Scott McInnis of Colorado in 2001.
As for the potential that Harman would do his wife's bidding, there are occasions where both Harmans contributed to Democrats at the same time, according to federal election records. Both donated to leftist Mark Green on July 9, 1997; to Ellen Tauscher on February 6, 1998; to Max Cleland on June 29, 2001; to Paul Wellstone on August 21, 2002; to Joe Lieberman on March 31, 2003; and to John Kerry on April 16, 2003.
Even without the major conflict of interest that the owner of Newsweek is married to the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Harman has liberal-elite credentials. He was president of Friends World College, a "worldwide experimental Quaker" peace college, in the early 1970s. He's on the board of the Aspen Institute. Harman was an undersecretary of commerce under Jimmy Carter and is a trustee emeritus of the Carter Center and a former board member of the Martin Luther King Center for Social Change.
But the media elite still sold this unconvincingly as one "centrist" selling to another. Mike Allen of Politico relayed that Washington Post Company chieftain Donald Graham "felt comfortable with Harman's centrist politics, and was comforted by the idea of selling to a stalwart of the Washington establishment."
This is the magazine that couldn't send one greenhorn reporter to the scene of the earthquake in Haiti this year, choosing instead to rely for its "quality journalism" on a cover story written by (and about) President Obama. Two months later, they awarded their cover story to Michelle Obama to publicize her initiative on childhood obesity. With this kind of shilling for the White House, it won't be at all shocking if Sidney Harman's Newsweek seems run by a left-wing activist. That would mean the status quo is intact.
But that wouldn't mean that Newsweek will stop losing money. This ship is still sinking, and the captains have no plans to plug the leaks.

My Daughter's Friend Natalia Part # 17
Fiction, Incest
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Mon 22nd of February 2010
Daughter gets some cock
get up from my bed put on my shorts and tank top and head torwards the kitchen. I walk closer to my daughter's room and I can hear music and the muffled voices of girls talking, as I get closer I can start to make out what they are saying. I stop at her door and move my head closer to her door so I can hear everything they are saying.
I hear Natalia giggling and ask Rachelle " Well! Now that you are no longer a virgin! (giggles) When do you want to try it with your dad again?" Rachelle giggles back and says; " I thought maybe tonight, since your mom had left the pills in her purse and you were able to get a couple more of them for me." Natalia says; " Now remember! If you decide to give him the pills tonight, you text me on my phone or e-mail me, and let me know when I should come down. Ok? " Rachelle says; " Ok, I'll call you or text you and let you know if I give him the pills. Promise!" Natalia says; " Ok, That will be great! GOD! I'm getting wet just thinking about it! (both girls giggle) Well I guess I will get my shower and get my stuff packed up to go home. Can't wait till tonight." (more giggles)
I realize that she will be coming out the door at any moment, and I quickly moved down the hallway and around the corner before she catches me. I make it to the livingroom without being caught and turn around to see Svetlana laying on her side, with her one arm under her head and the other by her stomach. She looks good laying on the couch, with just a white shirt top that is long enough to go just above her knees and a pair of silky red shorts that barely cover that sweet tight ass of hers. ( I just wanted to go over and throw a big cock, right up inside her juicy little pussy again!)
She's looking up at me, smiling, and whispers; " Hi. How are you this morning? Sleep well?" I move over and sit down on the side of the couch where she was laying, and put my hand on the side of her hips. I lean down and lightly kiss her on the lips saying; " Morning sweetie, and yes. That's the best I have slept in a long time. " I lean back up as I hear the door open to my daughter's room and feet moving across the hallway to the bathroom. I hear the door close and the shower turn on knowing that was Natalia in the shower from the conversation I had overheard earlier. I lean down and kiss her one more time and tell her; " I'll make us food before you leave so you guys don't go home hungry. Ok? (smiling) I know somebody worked me into an appetite!" She looks up at me and says that will be fine.
We ate that afternoon, hung around the pool for awhile and then said our goodbyes. Svetlana and Natalia went to their car and we hugged each other before they left to go home. They get in and I lean in at the drivers side and said; " Can I call you later this week?" She smiles and says; " Yes Robert (With her sexy american/russian accent.) Please call me. I would like that." and gives me a wink.
It's later in the evening and we are getting ready for bed. I tell Rachelle not to forget brush her teeth before she goes to bed. She looks up at me and says; " Daddy do you think we could have a glass of chocolate milk before we go to bed? PLEEEAASSSE!" I allready know what is in store for tonight, so it doesn't take much for me to say yes.
I tell her; " Ok, and would she make mine for me while I went to the bathroom?" She looks up at me and smiles and says; "Ok daddy I'll be glad to." I head into the bathroom, giving her time to make my choclate milk and put the pills in my drink. I return and she gives me my glass, looking up at me in excitment, waiting for me to down my drink. I put it up to my mouth and went to take a drink, but I stop and look at her and say; " Oh honey I forgot to turn the pump on the pool. Would you go do that for me?" She looks up with a slight disappointment and says; " Ok! I'll go check. Be right back." As soon as she left I poured the glass out and made a new glass real quick. She came back in and we drank our glass in the kitchen then we both headed to each of our rooms and went to bed.
I got into bed and laid there with the sheets pushed down at the bottom, just covering my legs . I was in my bed, with no clothes on, so there would be no problem for her and Natalia to do what ever they wanted to do to me, thinking I was sedated.
It was about an hour later that I heard footsteps coming down the hall and my door slowly opening. I lay there pretending to be asleep. I squint my eyes waiting to see two horny little minks, but instead, I see only one silhouette coming torwards me. It was Rachelle by herself. She moves my arm a little and says; "Daddy are you awake?" Satisfied I was asleep I watch through squinted eyes as my daughter starts stripping her clothes off and climbing into bed with me. She lays beside me, puts her hand to the side of my face kissing my neck and putting her one leg over mine and slowly grinding her pelvis into the side of my hip. She takes her hand and moves it from my face and moves her fingers across my chest, down past my stomach, and grabs my now semihard cock. She's stroking my dick making it harder and moving her lips down from my neck across my chest stopping at the nipples kissing them and then going down to my now fully inflated membrane.
I feel her hand going up and down my throbbing cock, rubbing the top, and lubing her hand with my precum and the hot breath of her tiny mouth. She dips her head down and takes my cock into her mouth. I feel her young teen mouth going around the top of my cock, licking the head, and then trying to take as much of my hardness in her inexperianced mouth could take without choking.
Satisfied I was was well lubed she withdrew her mouth from my cock, and moved back up, kissing my stomach, then my chest, and finally my neck again. She spreads her legs wide across my pelvis and aims her slit right at my now fully erect cock. She leans up grabs my dick while moving her hips and puts the head right at the entrance to her love hole. She keeps grinding her hips down harder and harder, opening her slit more and letting my cock slide into her little tiny hot vagina. She keeps pushing my shaft in little by little until pussy lips are sitting on the base of my cock. (MAN! Was she tight and wet!) Her pussy is pulsing and slicking my dick with her vaginal juices. She starts moving her hips back and forth making my dick rub inside her pussy kissing her cervix with my head and then back again. She is so hot and wet inside, and her fluids are running down out of her love hole across my shaft and down onto my balls. She grips my chest, holding herself up and bounces her pussy up and down my shaft as she gets closer to her orgasm. She pumps me hard one more time and then stops, as her body shakes and she's screaming; "Yes daddy! Make me cum!" I feel a hot blast of fluid go past my shaft as her pussy walls spasm and her cervix pulsing against my throbbing head.
I can't take it anymore and I blast my load right into her fertile pussy, feeling my cock release five big streams of cum right into her still pulsing cervix pulling my hot baby batter deep inside her. She feels this and sends her over the edge again screaming; " OH GOD! YES! I FEEL IT! GIVE IT TO ME DADDY! GIVE ME ALL YOUR HOT CUM! "
I feel her pussy spasm again and another hot gush flows past my now pulsing cock from my own orgasm still sending more seed into her.
She falls down on my chest, her body still shaking from her two explosive orgasms, and kisses me on the lips and says in a real low voice; " I love you daddy and I only want to make love to you, just you."
She climbs off,cleans me up, and heads back to her own bed.
Tell me what you think thanx.

The Italian Parliament passed what is being called the "Google tax" on Tuesday. The tax forces companies in Italy that are looking to get advertising online to use companies that are locally registered. This means that those companies in Ireland, Luxembourg, and Bermuda will no longer be options, according to Bloomberg.
This new tax is somewhat less strict than a previously reduced one which taxed items bought online in a similar manner. That rule was cut down on by Matteo Renzi, leader of the Italian Prime Minister's Democratic Party. Now this newest rule has been receiving a fair amount of serious criticism from those looking at it as a legal issue, or as a revenue producer.
It is "the wrong answer to the right problem. It's driven by finding excuses for the Italian government's fiscal laziness and fiscal profligacy, and needing new tax revenues — and the second thing is to protect the interest of traditional publishers," said Carlo Alberto Carnevale-Maffe, professor of strategy in Milan, to Bloomberg.

Sheldon Plans Improvements to Highway and Streets and Addition of New Residential Areas
Date posted - April 7, 2013
Sheldon, Iowa — Highway 18 through Sheldon can become confusing, even among those who drive it often. In some places it's a four lane highway, other spots a three lane and others two lane.
That confusion should be eliminated after projects planned by the City and Iowa Department of Transportation are completed. As the City planned to extend their improvements to the east, the Iowa D.O.T. announced they would like to add a new blacktop overlay, providing a continuous three lane highway from Second Avenue all the way to the new industrial park east of the Highway 60 expressway.This should eliminate the current confusion and add safer turning lanes.
The project is expected to be completed this summer. This will be a busy construction season as the City also plans resurfacing of Country Club Road from Highway 18 to East 9th Street. This street improvement project will then continue down East 9th Street from Country Club Road to the area near the cemetery.
Opportunities for new housing in Sheldon will also be expanded with two separate developments. Infrastructure work on the new Trilogy Village area east and north of Fieldcrest will begin soon. The contract for the work was awarded to Vander Pol Excavating of Orange City at the last council meeting. The other housing area to be developed by the City is the Sheldon Crossing area located just east of the homes along Country Club Road.

Lets see….traffic has grown on highway 18 and now you want to bottle neck it to 3 lanes the whole way…????????????????
Oh I can hardly wait to be behind "grandpa & grandma" driving 25 all the way through town from Shopko to the 4 way stop. Will take an hour to get across town!!
Might as well put a bike trail along the 3 lane. Thats a great idea another town had. Joke!!!
I understand the need of a turning lane by Fareway/Country Club Road that will be nice but what they need to do is slow down the speed limit through there to 35mph or put a stop light on that intersection. It is difficult to cross the highway at that intersection due to the speed, hill, and just plan to busy! Many accidents and even deaths have occured at that intersection. Think safety first not convenience!!!!
The story makes it sound as if the state and city projects will take place simultaneously. Is that so? East 18 AND Country Club Road at the same time? Think about that.
