The Well-Armored Child: A Parent's Guide to Preventing Sexual Abuse, by Joelle Casteix (River Grove Books, USA, August 11, 2015) 978-1632990396 Read review
Author Joelle Casteix has filled the need for an easy-to-read toolkit for parents when it comes to preventing childhood sexual abuse. When her own child was born, she was deluged with tomes that covered everything from breastfeeding to choosing the right college. But one book was noticeably absent. It's the book that can help parents take action to prevent their child from becoming another statistic.
The Well-Armored Child gives parents the tools and strategies to understand how predators "groom" children, why many of our trusted institutions cover up abuse, and how to empower children without shame, fear, or inappropriate discussions of sex.
Tom Doyle is a Dominican priest who has been involved in the clergy sex abuse crisis since 1984. He has offered survivors and their families support and has served as an expert witness in criminal and civil cases. He has also done expert and consultant work with grand juries in the U.S., with the three investigative commissions in Ireland and with the Cornwall Commission in Canada.
The Catholic Labyrinth: Power, Apathy, and a Passion for Reform in the American Church, by Peter McDonough (Oxford University Press, USA July 15, 2013) 978-0199751181. Read review
Sexual abuse scandals, declining attendance, a meltdown in the number of priests and nuns, the closing of many parishes and parochial schools--all have shaken American Catholicism. Yet conservatives have increasingly dominated the church hierarchy.
In The Catholic Labyrinth, Peter McDonough tells a tale of multiple struggles that animate various groups--the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, Voice of the Faithful, and the Leadership Roundtable chief among them--pushing to modernize the church. One contest pits reformers against those who back age-old standards of sexual behavior and gender roles. Another area of contention, involving efforts to maintain the church's far-flung operations in education, social services, and healthcare, raises constitutional issues about the separation of church and state. Once a sidebar to this debate, the bishops' campaign to control the terms of employment and access to contraceptives in church-sponsored ministries has fueled conflict further.
McDonough draws on behind-the-scenes documentation and personal interviews with leading reformers and "loyalists" to explore how both retrenchment and resistance to clericalism have played out in American Catholicism. Despite growing support for optional celibacy among priests, the ordination of women, and similar changes, and in the midst of numerous departures from the church, immigration and a lingering reaction against the upheavals of the sixties have helped sustain a popular traditionalism among "Catholics in the pews." So have the polemics of Catholic neoconservatives. These demographic and cultural factors--as well as the silent dissent of those who simply ignore rather than oppose the church's more regressive positions--have reinforced a culture of deference that impedes reform. At the same time, selective managerial improvements show promise of advancing incremental change.
Timely and incisive, The Catholic Labyrinth captures the church at a historical crossroads, as advocates for change struggle to reconcile religious mores with the challenges of modernity.
Mortal Sins: Sex, Crime, and the Era of Catholic Scandal, by Michael D'Antonio (St. Martin's/Dunne 2013). ISBN 978-0-312-59489-3. Read review
Pulitzer Prize–winning journo D'Antonio (Atomic Harvest) pens what will be widely regarded as the definitive history of the Catholic Church's "most severe crisis since the Reformation": the revelations of endemic sexual abuse of minors by priests in the United States and Europe. Employing his considerable gift for sifting through mountains of facts, the author carves out a coherent and enthralling narrative, and brings the long-running tragedy to life by focusing on the handful of individuals responsible for bravely exposing the pain and horror of the abused children. In 1984, American priest Thomas Doyle learned of a lawsuit brought by parents of a victim, and was deeply troubled by his superiors' callous nonchalance toward the suit, and more alarmingly, toward the suffering child. (When Doyle asked a monsignor, "What are you doing for the boys?," he responded, "As far as I know, nothing.") Along with plaintiffs' attorney Jeffrey Anderson, Doyle and a few others worked tirelessly to get the church, the media, and the public to pay attention; their persistence eventually paid off. D'Antonio peoples his reportage with fully realized individuals, and their plight—not to mention the stakes—makes for feverish reading.

Tempest in the Temple: Jewish Communities and Child Sex Scandals, by Amy Neustein (Brandeis 2009). ISBN: 978-1584656715. Read review.
SNAP's former President and Founder, Barbara Blaine, authored a chapter in Amy Neustein's book. The chapter explains the history of the SNAP movement as well as the power survivors have claimed and used to attempt to protect other innocent children and adults from being abused. What the clergy abuse victims started has become a national movement with survivors not only from within the Catholic church but from all denominations and is now spreading to those abused by anyone in a position of authority. The courage, creativeness and dedication of the pioneers of SNAP sparked a new civil rights movement which is spreading across the United States and the Globe. We can all be proud and gratified to be part of such a successful and powerful movement.
Crosses: Portraits of Clergy Abuse, by Carmine Galasso, ISBN: 978-1-904563-59-4.
Accompanying the words are black and white portraits of the survivors today, in places that for them echo where they are now, or where they were then. Each has a different story to tell, a unique pattern of abuse, though they all share certain similarities. A certain grooming by the perpetrator, a blind trust of the parents in this person to look after their child both spiritually and in all ways their welfare, all systematically overruled by the one person who a community put their faith in.

Sex, Priests, and Secret Codes: The Catholic Church's 2,000-Year Paper Trail of Sexual Abuse (Hardcover), by Thomas P. Doyle, A. W. R. Sipe, Patrick J. Wall, (Bonus Books, 2006) ISBN: 1566252652.
Sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults by Catholic clergy burst onto the American scene in 1984. Revelations about such abuse since then have confirmed that this tragedy is not limited to the U.S. Catholic Church, nor is it a new phenomenon that grew out of so called secularizing trends of the late twentieth century. The Doyle-Sipe-Wall report clearly demonstrates a deep seated problem that spans the Church's history. This collection of documents from official and unofficial sources begins its survey in 60 CE and concludes with the contemporary scandal. It reveals an institution that has tried to come to grips with this devastating internal problem from its earliest years.

Justice Denied, What America Must Do to Protect its Children, by Marci Hamilton. (Cambridge University Press, April 2008) ISBN: 052188621X.
Recent events such as the clergy abuse scandal in the Catholic Church have brought the once-taboo subject of childhood sexual abuse to the forefront. But despite increasing awareness of the problem, the United States has not succeeded in establishing effective means of deterring and preventing it, leaving the children of today and tomorrow vulnerable. Hamilton proposes a comprehensive yet simple solution: eliminate the arbitrary statutes of limitation for childhood sexual abuse so that survivors past and present can get into court. Removing this merely procedural barrier permits thousands of survivors to make public the identities of their perpetrators and to receive justice and much-deserved compensation. Standing in the way, however, are formidable opponents such as the insurance industry and the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. In Justice Denied, Hamilton predicts a coming civil rights movement for children and explains why it is in the interest of all Americans to allow victims of childhood sexual abuse this chance to seek justice when they are ready.
Sacrilege: Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church, by Leon J. Podles. (Crossland Press, November 2007) ISBN: 0979027993.

In horrifying yet necessary detail, former federal investigator Leon Podles surveys the full extent of the damage, showing how victims were failed by bishops, laity, therapists, police, courts, press, and even popes. Examining the history behind today's headlines, Dr. Podles reveals how centuries-old theological errors encouraged blind submission to hierarchy, by making obedience to authority the highest virtue. He also shines a light on the new theological errors, popularized since Vatican II, that glorify every type of sexual expression--including pedophilia. Sacrilege will prove an essential resource for all those concerned with the history and future of Catholicism.
Holding Bishops Accountable: How Lawsuits Helped the Catholic Church Confront Clergy Sex Abuse, by Timothy B. Lytton. (Harvard University Press, 2008) ISBN: 0674028104.

God vs. the Gavel, Religion and the Rule of Law, by Marci Hamiton.(Cambridge University Press, May 2005) ISBN: 0521853044.
"Marci Hamilton has heroically and truthfully confronted the widespread American myth that all things done in the name of religion are good and deserving of constitutional protections. She has accurately named the harm done in the name of religion and how this harm is protected and enabled by the courts and law enforcement by way of the inaccurate application of the First Amendment. God vs. The Gavel is essential reading for those who insist that religion be true to its fundamental mission and not about victimizing people for the sake of power, privilege or financial gain." Thomas P. Doyle, O.P., J.C.D., C.A.D.C., Canon Lawyer, Advocate for those abused by Clergy.

The Hopeville Fire Department: A story of a boy's betrayal by one of New England's most notorious priests(Paperback) by Tony Lembo (Prose & Pictures, March 2007) ISBN: 978-0-9793491-0-2.
The book about the Connecticut State Police chaplain and pedophile that launched a scandal. In the heartland of working-class, 1970s New England, few took notice of police and fire chaplain Father Stephen C. Foley racing around in an official-looking car full of teenaged boys and young men, visiting firehouses, chasing fire engines, showing up at fire scenes and pretending to be firemen.

The Tricky Part : One Boy's Fall from Trespass into Grace, by Martin Moran (Beacon Press, June 15, 2005) ISBN: 0807072621.
To everyone else in the Denver neighborhood where he grew up in the '70s, Moran was a studious Catholic boy. No one knew he carried a secret that would fester for 30 years and lead to extreme anxiety, sexual compulsion and suicide attempts. At age 12 he met Bob, a church camp counselor in his 30s who, for several years, took Moran hiking and camping, and had sex with him. Moran painfully recounts the inner workings of a lonely, insecure adolescent who, out of a desperate need for friendship and acceptance, continued a sexual relationship with a man 20 years his senior. Feeling guilty and shameful regarding the affair and his homosexuality, Moran lived a life in which the erotic and the illicit fused, and compulsive sex became a means of self-punishment. Moran's Catholic-American gothic differs from other abuse/recovery/ coming-out memoirs in that it examines a uniquely gay mind/body split as it subtly reflects on a gay man's spiritual quest for self-determination and love. Read Review.

The Priesthood
Sex, Priests and Power: Anatomy of a Crisis, by Richard Sipe. (Brunner-Routeledge, April 1995) ISBN: 0876307691.
The author--a psychotherapist and former priest married to a former Maryknoll nun--looks at the question of why priests abuse and discusses the church's hostile treatment of women. He finds that sexual abuse within the church is a manifestation of a deeper problem: the abuse of power within a strongly hierarchical structure.
Celibacy in Crisis: A Secret World Revisited, by Richard Sipe. (Brunner-Routeledge, October 2003) ISBN: 0415944732.
Sipe, a psychotherapist and former priest, reexamines the Roman Catholic Church's policy of mandatory clerical celibacy in light of the recently exposed sexual misconduct scandals. Placing the evolution of the celibacy concept firmly in historical context, the author provides the background information necessary for a contemporary analysis. Using hundreds of candid interviews conducted with priests, their sexual partners, and victims of clerical sexual abuse, he provides overwhelming evidence of the physical and spiritual failure of the celibacy ideal. Significantly, he enfolds this discussion within the archaic position of the church on human sexuality in general, arguing persuasively that the two issues are intimately and inextricably entwined.
Soul Survivors- Intimate Perspectives of Two Priests on the Catholic Church as the Ultimate Abuser, by Harold Luneau and Frank Kenney. (Xlibris Corporation, September 2005). ISBN: Hard cover-1413494749; Soft Cover-1413494730.
Soul Survivors offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes at the mysteries of life in a Catholic Seminary and the priesthood. These two priests describe their reasons for choosing the priesthood and the physical and emotional trauma that made them leave the institutional priesthood in order to survive. Their journeys' penetrating analysis reveals an insider's view of what must be done if the Church is to remain bearable for the priest and laity. Their final dialogue assesses what their lives as priests have taught them. It ends in an interview with a confessed pedophile priest, in an effort to shed further light on the emotionally stunting, dehumanizing practices meant to make saints of mere men. Their suggested remedies offer Catholics hope for their own survival in an institution that often causes them needless pain and confusion. This is a book about relationships and emotions as much as it is about the practice of Catholicism.

Only one team was going to come away with a playoff spot in the regular-season finale Thursday night.
With a Division I state tournament berth on the line, 17th-ranked Desert View (9-1-2) came through with a 2-1 victory over Nogales, almost certainly locking up a playoff spot.
"This team has been working very hard for three years, it's a senior-laden team," said David Hunter, who is in his 25th year of coaching the Jaguars.
The loss for the No. 15 Apaches (8-3-1) likely eliminated them from qualifying for the Division II state tournament.
"This is a very young team," Nogales coach Peter Lella said. "They came out and tried and gave their best."
The brackets for next week's state soccer tournaments will be announced today at 2 p.m.
Desert View struck first in the game when Ramiro Romo sent a shot to the back of the net in the 28th minute.
Eleven minutes later, Carlos Peña added to the Jaguars lead when he outmaneuvered Nogales keeper Gabriel Origel to find an open net for a score.
Down 2-0, the Apaches came out aggressively to start the second half. They nearly scored their first goal of the game in the opening minute when J.C. Bautista's kick went inches outside of the post.
Nogales finally found the back of the net in the 55th minute when Jaime Javalera scored on a breakaway to bring the Apaches within one.
With only a few seconds remaining, Nogales' Robert Gorman fired a pass from the sidelines toward the goal in hopes of finding a teammate to tie the score, but Desert View keeper Francisco Soto grabbed the ball out of the air and ended the Apaches' playoff hopes.
Both teams were in the same playoff positions last season, when the Desert View lost 3-1 at Nogales sending the Apaches to state and the Jaguars home.
"It's an awesome experience, and I'm glad I got to do it with all these wonderful players," said Soto, about helping his team to reach the playoffs this season.
The boys state tournament starts Wednesday with the higher seeds hosting the first-round matches.

My Ghoul Friday
Take two good concepts (Halloween haunts and saving lives), and two big organizations (Canada's Wonderland and the Heart & Stroke Foundation).
Combine them in one event.
What do you get?
The Undeading.
"At the end of September, the outbreak began. By October 4th, the entire city was overrun. Now it's up to all of us to head to the safe zone on October 25th to survive.
On October 25th, 2012, we are calling on you to help us break the Guinness World Record for CPR training at The Undeading At Wonderland – Presented by the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
My last Vegas story ends on a happier note. Upon arrival in the city, I learned that Frightdome was happening at Circus Circus, where they turn their theme park into haunted mazes for the month of October.
Well, only on the weekends in the month of October, which proved to be a problem since we had the wedding on the Sunday, and the stag on the Friday, and well...no one was in any shape to do anything on the Saturday in between. Foiled again.
BUT it turned out Circus Circus also offered The 13th Floor Experience which takes place on the 13th floor of the hotel (and as you may know, it's not common for a hotel to have an actual 13th floor). $13 for a 13 minute tour of the haunted 13th floor. Sign me up.
We were greeted by a tiny undead bellman (much smaller and with more character than the tall ghoul in the picture) and taken up the elevator as he told us stories about our destination and how the past inhabitants of the 13th floor have once again taken up residence. I thought it was a nice touch that he told part of the story with his back to us as he leaned into the opposite corner.

Given the drastically overcrowded field of zombie movies, "Exit Humanity" merits appreciation for really trying something different: It's a Civil War-era piece that, low budget aside, is in many ways closer in feel to "Cold Mountain" than to the usual George Romero-derived splatfest.
Given the drastically overcrowded field of zombie movies, "Exit Humanity" merits appreciation for really trying something different: It's a Civil War-era piece that, low budget aside, is in many ways closer in feel to "Cold Mountain" than to the usual George Romero-derived splatfest. John Geddes' Canadian feature is easier to love in the abstract, however: While it's handsomely shot and (occasionally) animated, its humorless, sometimes ponderous progress doesn't ultimately make complete sense of the period/undead combo. Already sold to some markets, it will draw but also divide curious genre fans primarily via home formats.
Heavy on narration (by Brian Cox), onscreen text in elaborate cursive script and ominously titled dividers ("Chapter VII: Retribution"), Geddes' script opens with a prologue in which Confederate soldier Edward Young (Mark Gibson) is nonplussed to find himself confronted during a forest skirmish by one ashen-faced Yankee who is unable to die. Six years later, this outbreak of "dead-alives" has claimed Edward's wife, while his son is missing. Having figured out how to kill these creatures (yes, it's the brains), he sets out with his musket into the plagued countryside to find his son. He finds another survivor in likewise ginger-bearded Isaac (Adam Seybold), who strong-arms the reluctant hero into helping him rescue his sister (Jordan Hayes) from the clutches of Gen. Williams (Bill Moseley). The general has set up a bunker with two goons (Ari Millen, Jason Brown) and tippling Doc Johnson (Stephen McHattie) where they turn kidnap victims into guinea pigs, letting them get bitten by the undead in order to test Doc's dubious cure. Later, the good guys shelter with old medicine woman Eve (Dee Wallace), a purported witch who holds the supernatural secret behind this unnatural state of affairs. Eventually it's up to Edward alone, however, to settle scores with the megalomaniacal general. Ontario's Beaver Valley stands in ably for Tennessee in Brendan Uegama's attractive outdoor lensing, and good use is made of Snezhan Bodurov's graphic-novel-style animation in several explanatory flashbacks. But while the odd match maintains a modicum of interest, the horror and dramatic elements fall short. Fans will no doubt complain about the relatively modest gore, but more detrimental is the pic's deficiency in the way of scares, tension and exciting setpieces, beyond an OK climactic raid. Worse, the serious, even tragic tenor throughout isn't supported by any depth in the character writing; nor do situations and dialogue rise above cliche. Rather boring fanatic Gen. Williams & Co. recall similar figures in the likes of "Cold Mountain" and "Ride With the Devil." Called upon to weep and lament too many times, Williams is not spared the inevitable shaking-fist-at-God scream "Noooooooo!" Still, for those who prefer their zombies (a word never spoken here) in a novel package rather than the same old "Night" or "Shaun of the Dead"-derived forms, "Exit" will have some intrigue. Design and tech contributions are solid, perfs earnest if a bit variable.Exit Humanity

I can't think of anyway to sum it all up better than a starting QB who tries to shove his head up his guard's ass.
I can't think of anyway to sum it all up better than a starting QB who tries to shove his head up his guard's ass.
umm...thanks, we haven't seen that enough....
Was that William Hung at the end of the play in the crowd? Was he looking to sing "he bang he bang"? LOL
Collinsworth is an idiot.
Wilfork didn't throw moore into sanchez.
Sanchez slid into the back of moore and moore fell onto mark.
Wilfork had nothing to do with it.
I don't think you can call that a slide.
Sanchez panicked and basically ran full speed towards the line of scrimmage, but in his panic completely lost track of probably one of the largest rear ends in football.
If your QB can't see DAT ASS then how the hell can you expect him to be competent at all?
Its obvious...
Sanchez didn't see the massive ass in front of him because he was running WITH HIS EYES CLOSED!
And that's pretty scary...
Here is a younger Sanchez practicing for his future NFL career:
best line was from ray lucas on SNY post game "how didnt mark see moore's ass? he(mark) put his face right between moores butcheecks!!!" lol
This is a sad example of what Mark has evolved into as a QB in NY, David Carr.
The similarities are frightening.
There is no timing left in his game, he's constantly thinking too much, he's late with some throws, too quick with others with no pressure being applied.
While I don't think his career is over, I do believe he can be resurrected in another city that doesn't get the scrutiny like NY.
Maybe a Kansas City or even Oakland so he's back home.
How can you have a QB who can't perform at home?
The Rams would have beat us at home because Marks overplays, over thinks, & pushes too hard in front of the home fans here.
He does not have the gumption you need to play here!
Jets toughest games are home games.
He stands on that podium each week & talks about confidence. He's trying to convince himself, Rex is trying to convince him.
His confidence is shot! He doesn't really believe in himself anymore & that's when you make mistakes, when you are constantly thinking about avoiding them & not just going out & doing your job.
People laugh about someone Alex Smith but he's where Mark wishes he was at.
Mark was a mistake for the NY Jets, how long before we cut bait.
If Rex sticks with him, his career in this city is OVER.
I would put money on it!
Big Vince (the second greatest player on the team) clearly turned Moore and moved him into Sanchez's path. I think Sanchez deserves the heat because he screwed up the play to begin with and had no sense at all of how to carry the ball, but I'm sure he didn't expect Moore to move into his path the way he did.
He panicked. Like always. Surprised his pants didn't turn brown.
Maybe he's colorblind, green uniforms, green grass, maybe all he see's is the other team on the field.

TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp. bounced back from safety recalls and natural disasters, selling 4.97 million vehicles globally in the first half of the year to retake its crown as the world's top automaker from General Motors Co.
The Japanese company sold about 300,000 more cars and trucks than GM did in the first half of 2012, a lead large enough to make it tough for GM to catch Toyota in the year's final six months. GM said it sold 4.67 million vehicles in the first half. Both automakers released their numbers Wednesday.
For Toyota, the numbers underline a powerful rebound from dismal sales, and the resilience of its brand as it gains traction in markets such as China and Southeast Asia while clawing back lost market share in the United States.

Britney Spears lip-syncs at her concerts
I'm sure this isn't breaking news by any stretch of the imagination and if you've been to one of Britney Spears' concerts, then you already know that she isn't a fan of singing live. Does anyone out there really think that they are paying to see Britney actually sing?
One of her managers, Larry Rudolph has claimed that she would be singing live during her residency in Las Vegas. He said, "She's going to be singing live. She does choreography and vocal coaching every day. The vocal coaching is really just to strengthen her voice and get her to a point where she can go out there every night and do a full show."
Recently, her other manager, Adam Leber, blew the lid off of her lip-syncing scandal. He said, "To put on the show that she puts on, it's virtually impossible to sing the entire time and do what she does. She's singing on every song, basically, when she has the ability to sing. There's no way you can dance for 90 minutes straight and sing the entire time."
Well you can't really have it both ways, can you? You can't say that she's going to sing live the entire time and then later say that it's impossible. Don't make promises you can't keep! What do you think?

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Ealdeman Early OriginsThe surname Ealdeman was first found in Essex, Suffolk and Yorkshire at Aldham. In all cases, the place name meant "the old homestead," or "homestead of a man called Ealda," from the Old English personal name + "ham." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Aldham, Essex and Aldham, Suffolk were both listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 and both were listed under the same spelling, Aldeham. [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) Another branch of the family was found at Elford in Staffordshire. "Before the Conquest the manor [of Elford] belonged to Earl Algar, and in the reign of Henry III. was held by William de Alderne, whose descendants continued to enjoy it until the marriage of the heiress of Sir John Alderney with the Stanleys, when the property passed to that family." [3]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Ealdeman Spelling VariationsEaldeman Spelling VariationsSound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Ealdeman family name include Aldham, Aldam, Aldem, Aldum, Aldeham, Aldom, Eldham, Eldam and many more.

Another 38 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Ealdeman Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Ealdeman surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Daniel Aldam aged 27 who settled in Maryland in 1775.

Posted Fri 22nd of July 2011
Please read part one before continuing here.
The game we had started this morning had started out as teasing. Rach, my sister, had begun it, and after making me cum, had both escalated, and most defiantly taken the lead in our game. I was trying to come up with a way to even the score as I belatedly followed her into the house. It couldn't be a coincidence that, the same morning I spied on her through her web-cam, she had introduced a sexual element to our relationship. I just couldn't work out how they were connected. Maybe a time would come when I could ask Rach about it, but I sensed now was not the time. She seemed contented with, and even possibly exited by, the casual, seemingly non intentional, way sex had introduced itself into our relationship.
I went to my room to change out of my messed shorts, and clean the cum from my front. I couldn't believe how much there was. I had been jacking myself for a couple of years now, and had never had this big a mess to clean up. I got myself cleaned up, put on some fresh shorts, and was turning to go to my computer, when I noticed something on my bed. It was a scrunchie. The same one Rach had been wearing. I picked it up, and noticed it was wet. It was wet with my cum. I really had cum a lot. Rach had left it there for me. A memento of the car ride, I thought. It was strangely erotic, and I felt myself getting excited. I got control of myself, adjusted my dick up into my waistband to hide my reforming hard-on, and went over to my desk.
I went to turn on my computer, and noticed it was already on. I defiantly remembered turning it off. Rach had been in my room. Did she have enough time to see anything on my computer? I searched thoroughly, not knowing what I was looking for. It wasn't until I reached to lower the screen that I noticed my webcam light was busted. I froze for just an instant. Understanding flooded through me. Rach had known I was spying on her. She must have known, when she saw her web-cam light was broken, that something was up, and when she heard her hair dryer through my speakers, she knew I was watching. I looked down at my computer clock, but there was no remote control icon. I looked in my start menu program list, and there, in addition to my spying program, was a second remote program. She must have set it up to not show as an active program. She was a smart one. She was probably watching me right now. She would want to see my "reaction" to her cum soaked scrunchie.I instantly knew what to do.
Pretending I was unaware of my sister's spying, I, as casually as possible, got up, and went back over to my bed. I picked up the scrunchie. If she thought it had cum on it before, I'd show her just how cum soaked it could get. I pulled down my shorts, sat on the corner of my bed, facing the computer, and wrapped the scrunchie around my dick, like it was a huge ponytail. I used it to masturbate, stroking it's already wet surface up and down my shaft. It was such a turn on that she was watching me use her scrunchie to jack off, that I came within 2 minutes. Just as I was about to lose my load, I pulled the scrunchie up over my chock head, and emptied myself into it. I didn't cum as much as the previous 2 times today, but it was enough to completely soak Rach's present. I set it aside carefully, and went back to my computer.
There was no way to know for sure if she was watching, but, then again, assuming my speakers were off, there was no way of her knowing if I was watching her. I turned on her webcam, and there she was, sitting at her computer. I think, by the flush of her face, that she had watched, and liked what she saw. She pretended to be doing something on her computer, though she seemed to be squirming around in her chair, and I did the same, watching her beautiful face, a little smile creeping to her lips.
After a few minutes of us pretending, she got up, and bounced out of the room. As she went, I couldn't help but notice the sticky white goo all down her back. I waited, half expecting her to come through my door. Instead, I heard the bathroom door close, and a few moments later, the shower come on. Of course, she would need to clean off all of my cum. With another inspired idea, I quickly grabbed the scrunchie, slipped out of my room, crept down the hallway, past the bathroom door, and into Rach's room. I laid it on her pillow, where it instantly made a wet spot. Now she could have a memento.
As I crept back down the hall, I thought I heard something strange; a sort of light squeaking, as if someone was skidding a new tennis shoe on a clean floor. I stood there at the bathroom door, listening. Then the sound changed, and I realized it was Rach. Her squeaks had turned more primal, into high pitched grunts. She was masturbating! Watching me jerk of with her scrunchie had gotten her exited all right. But this wasn't fair. She got to feel me cum in the jeep, and watched me cum just now, and here I was having to imagine what she looked like masturbating, with only the sound to help me. I almost barged in right there, but I didn't want to ruin things, and I wasn't sure where the boundaries were in this new game/relationship we were in. The pace of her cute little grunts became more fevered, until, after a slight pause, I heard "Ohhh…Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake", in a very quavering, high pitched hum. I think at this point, my dick decided it would just stay hard for ever, and I would just have to deal with it.
I crept back to my room. The tiredness from both my work-out, and the three orgasms I'd had was finally getting to me, though, my dick, seemed ready to run a marathon. I got into bed, and was just about to drift off, when I realized I could give Rach a show without any effort. I pulled off my shorts, my dick springing off my stomach, grabbed the base with my hand to keep it hard as long as possible, and, seeing my computer had a good view, fell into a blissful dream filled sleep where Rach was naked the whole time.
I woke up after 3 hours of Rach teasing me even in my dreams, to find my cock was still hanging suspended in the air, bouncing in time to my heart beat, even though my hand had left it's post, as it were. I could hear my mom downstairs, in the kitchen, and immediately realized I was famished. I slipped by shorts back on, tucked my dick in my waistband, and realized my dick was still too big to hide the head that way. Again, grabbing a loose shit, I threw it on, and went downstairs to get some grub. Rach was nowhere to be seen, but my mom was busy cooking. "How long before dinner?" I asked, taking a place at the kitchen table. "Still 20 minutes" she replied. "Want some chips to hold you over?"
I answered "yes please", and she put a bowl of chips, and some salsa on the table, which I immediately began inhaling. 10 minutes later, and the chips half gone, Rach came in through the back door. She had changed what she was wearing which was understandable, considering the mess I had made of them, but what she was now wearing made me catch my breath. She had on a bikini top that had only two small triangles hiding her perfect (as I now knew) breasts. It was powder blue, which really looked good on her tan body, it was also wet, which made it just transparent enough to make out her nipples, and the dark area surrounding them. She was wearing jean shorts also, but not the ones from earlier today. These were much shorter cut-offs, so short in fact, I could see the whites of the front pockets sticking out the bottom at least an inch.
She smiled her cute innocent smile and said "hi mom" in that sing song voice. "Oh honey, I wish you wouldn't dress like that " my mom said glancing over her shoulder at Rachel. "I was washing my car" Rach said, and, then turning to me, her smile turned wicked, and looking me dead in the eye, she continued "it was a real mess." I managed to smile back at her, trying my best to imitate her innocent smile, and said "did you manage to get it clean?" She responded, never loosing eye contact "there were a few sticky (she actually emphasized sticky) parts, but I got the job done." With that she turned and walked to the cabinets to help set the table. I was getting up to help, when Rach said "you stay there and rest. You've had a long hard day (again she emphasized long and hard)." As she turned away, I got a look at the back of her shorts, or rather the lack there of. The shortness of them was more apparent from behind as they came just down to where her but ended. Her butt didn't crease where it met her legs; it just curved in with the muscle, till it hit leg. But the best part was the rips. Crossing both cheeks from just under the belt-line down, were long frayed horizontal rips. Fully half of her ass was showing through them, and it was easy to see she was either wearing a thong, or nothing at all underneath. As I stared, she reached up on her tippy toes to get the glasses down, and her butt flexed, perfect and round, so tight I would have hurt my hand, had I spanked her then. She looked over her shoulder and winked. My dick throbbed so hard I reached under the table and undid my shorts to relieve the pressure. I made sure I timed it so my mom wouldn't see, and Rach would. She hesitated for a moment, and then continued on as if nothing had happened, but I could swear her nipples were much easier to see than before. Our mom mentioned in a distracted way "Rachel, only set for three, your father won't be home till Tuesday."
Our kitchen table, where we ate most of our meals, was a u shaped booth. I traditionally sat at the right end, Rach sat at the back, and our mom sat at the other end, ostensibly so she could get up and get things as needed during the meal, and our father, when he wasn't away on business, would pull up a chair, and sit on the end. As they brought dinner to the table (spaghetti and meatballs), Rach said "you take the inside mom. I'll get up if we need anything."
"Thanks hon, I'm wiped" my mom returned, and slid back to the middle of the booth. I knew something was up (besides my dick), but Rach let slip not a clue as she sat down across from me. We started chatting about our day. Mom went into a tirade about this house she was trying to sell, and things were going normally, until I noticed Rach, as she listened to our mom, pull her hair out of her scrunchie…no, our scrunchie. There was Rach, innocent as you please, with a, now dry cum caked scrunchie, twiddling around in her hand. Mom finished her rant and turned to me. "How was practice? Did Rachel get you there in time?" Thinking quickly, determined to keep up with Rachel in this crazy game.
"Rach was great. " I said casually, then, turning to look at Rach, "it was hard, but she took care of it." Smiling at my triumph, I caught my breath as Rach, as casual as could be, brought the scrunchie up to her mouth, and started sucking on a particularly white, crusty frill. Without missing a beat, our eyes locked together, I continued "she can drive me any time." The word time fluttered as I came out of my mouth, because, at that moment, I felt both of Rachel's feet touch my knees. "I didn't go to fast for you, did I?" She said sweetly, as her feet cupped my knees, and her toes curled into the tops of my thighs. "No" I managed with an amazing degree of calmness. "I enjoyed the ride." I finished, as her feet left my knees and began slowly sliding up and down my inner thighs, moving slightly farther each stroke. Refusing to back down, I said "she even stayed to watch". "I liked watching." She said looking at me, and then glancing up the stairs to our bedrooms. "Besides" she said with a grin, "I like doing thing for my Big Bro!" and at the words "Big Bro" her smile flashed evil for the briefest moment, and her feet finished their journey, and, bottoms of her feet together, she wrapped all ten of those cute little toes around my dick.
I knew it was coming from the moment I felt her feet on my knees, but it still hit me with a jolt. Earlier, in the jeep, it could be seen as accidental contact on her part, though we both knew better, but this was deliberate. My sister was giving me a foot job under the table as we ate dinner with our mom!!! I pretended to be interested in my meal, finding it difficult to keep from bucking my hips as Rachel took long strokes, her toes curled tight. Then she moved one foot down, pushing my shorts down with her heel, and wiggled her toes at the base of my cock, while the other toes played with the head. My mother had brought papers to the table, and was looking though them, which gave me the opportunity, dangerous as it was, to pull my shirt out of the way so I could watch. There they were. Ten tan little toes, with pastel pink polish, playing my dick like a guitar. I was getting close, and Rach could sense it. She went back to stroking and curled her toes so hard into my cock, the little knuckles turned white despite the tan. I threw my shirt back over just in time, gripped the table with both hands, and held on for dear life. Now I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I couldn't stop cumming. Sitting there, as rigged as a statue, holding my breath for fear of crying out, I came; shooting stream after stream into the front of my shirt. My eyes locked on Rachel's, the intensity of our stares could have burned through steel. She was flushed with excitement, her nipples hard and straining at the bikini cloth. It went on and on. The deluge fell off, but I was still cumming. I let out the breath silently, and kept cumming. My legs started shaking from the effort, and still I was cumming.
Finally, after what must have been over a minute, I gradually came back to earth. With one last squeeze of her toes, Rachel finally let go; our eyes still locked, she glanced down at me, and giggled silently. I looked down to see my shirt starting to show the wetness of my cum seeping through. From just below my nipples, in a spreading upside down "V" I was soaked. I quickly picked up a glass of water, and spilled it all down my front. Our mom looked up at the sound of ice bouncing off the bench and floor. "Good heavens Jake, be more careful." She chided, returning to her work. "Sorry" I croaked, looking from her, back to Rach, my amazing, beautiful sister. Rach, breathing hard, but silently, put a hand under the table, and brought it up a moment later, two of her fingers covered in my cum. She brought it to her lips, and rolled her tongue around them, before sucking them clean. Then, hopping up, she said "I'll clean it up." And bounced away to get a towel, her bare feet squishily tracking my cum across the floor. She returned moments later with a towel, got down on her hands and knees and stared wiping her way under the table. A moment later, I felt something on my still hard dick. Looking down, I lifted my shirt enough to see Rach's scrunchie ringing my dick like a garland. Standing up, she leaned over me, presumably to wipe my side of the bench seat clean. Putting one knee on the outside edge of the bench, she leaned over me, pushing her chest into my face for a moment, then whispering, as she backed away "I want that back." Again she flashed me that evil grin for an instant, and then, switching to sweet innocent Rach, she sat back down, and there we were, just a regular family having dinner.

From being recently named as Chairman Of DreamWorks Animation in October, to getting engaged to George Lucas earlier this month, to today's news… Mellody Hobson has been the subject of mainstream press headlines, maybe more-so in recent months, than she'd been in years prior.
CBS News announced today that it has named Mellody Hobson as a contributor and analyst on finance and economy, and will appear across all CBS News platforms, including CBS This Morning, CBS Evening News, Face the Nation, as well as CBS' radio and online platforms.
Hobson begins her CBS News duties in January 20.
"Mellody has extraordinary passion for financial literacy-helping people understand and manage their resources in today's complex global economy," said David Rhodes, president of CBS News. "We're so pleased to have her insightful analysis of business and finance."
Is it only a matter of time before she gets a show of her own?
By the way, she's also president of Ariel Investments, LLC, a Chicago-based investment firm managing over $3 billion in assets, and one of the largest African American-owned money management and mutual fund companies in the United States!
Props all-around, once again! Looking forward to seeing more of her on the small screen.

I get your point about fit, but have a comment or two about fabric.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
The t-shirts don't feel that soft out of the box. I think Nan said something about the processes used just before packing the t-shirts affecting their handfeel on arrival. After you wash them they get much softer. I didn't believe what someone else on the forum said about that until I did it for myself, and it's been true of each of my t-shirts from them. In my experience (and from what I was told a few years back as a sales associate at J Crew), much of the softness of items from BR and J Crew is from the heavy-duty fabric softeners they use before the products go to stores. The downside is often that those wash out over time, and the items become less soft. So far in my experience, the softness of the Everlane tees seems to be a quality of the fabric, not of a chemical. If anything, it seems you need to wash out a chemical at the beginning.
When it comes to the weight of the fabric, I tend to think that different weights are good for different things. Everlane tees are great for hot summers, and now that it's cooler I'm layering them under button-ups or sweaters. I also have other brands of t-shirts of other weights that I use in different ways, but most of them are not as soft (after the wash). Then too, BR t-shirts have been too short for me in the past.
Just thought I'd add my two cents to yours. Hope it helps.
Hey thanks for your comments! I always did suspect that J.Crew and BR used chemicals to make their shirts unrealy soft, but I do appreciate the shorter fit of the BR shirts. To each his own I guess!
