"Hair" is a track off of Lady Gaga's album 'Born This Way". According to Lady Gaga, the melody of "Hair" resembles the work of metal bands Kiss and Iron Maiden, and is also influenced by Bruce Springsteen. The song is an uptempo club record inspired by Gaga's experience as a teenager, when her parents forced her to dress in a certain way. Gaga found that the only way to express herself was through her hair, and she described it as… read more

Rawls, in contrast, argues that an egalitarian metric of distributive justice is uniquely appropriate in the domestic context.
This is mainly occupied by Djurgarden (the deer-park), a beautiful park containing the buildings of the northern museum, a collection of Scandinavian costumes and domestic and agricultural utensils, and a biological museum housed in a wooden building imitating the early Norwegian timber churches (stavekirke).
The Sla y s were driven back, the domestic policy of Henry the Fowler was continued, the Saxon court became a centre of learning visited by Italian scholars, and in 968 an archbishopric was founded at Magdeburg for the lands east of the Elbe.

The prospect of that dinner in the intimate home circle of the man he so admired had greatly interested Prince Andrew, especially as he had not yet seen Speranski in his domestic surroundings, but now he felt disinclined to go to it.
In the East, the German Order, while enjoying Hanseatic privileges, frequently opposed the policy of the League abroad, and was only prevented by domestic troubles and its Hinterland enemies from playing its own hand in the Baltic. After the fall of the order in 1467, the towns of Prussia and Livland, especially Dantzig and Riga, pursued an exclusive trade policy even against their Hanseatic confederates.
A few were left in Spain as domestic slaves, and some contrived to return in secret.
During his brief reign he set on foot some domestic reforms, and sought to revive the authority of the senate, but, after a victory over the Goths in Cilicia, he succumbed to hardship and fatigue (or was slain by his own soldiers) at Tyana in Cappadocia.
He suppressed this domestic rebellion indeed, but in the meantime the Poles had invaded the Bohemian domains with 60,000 men, and when in 1474 Matthias was at last able to take the field against them in order to raise the siege of Breslau, he was obliged to fortify himself in an entrenched camp, whence he so skilfully harried the enemy that the Poles, impatient to return to their own country, made peace at Breslau (Feb.
But while he went cordially with the king in domestic affairs, he was not quite in harmony with him on questions of foreign policy.
In addition to the books above mentioned, she wrote many pamphlets and short stories and The (American) Frugal Housewife (1829), one of the earliest American books on domestic economy, The Mother's Book (1831), a pioneer cook-book republished in England and Germany, The Girls' Own Book (1831), History of Women (2 vols., 1832), Good Wives (1833), The Anti-Slavery Catechism (1836), Philothea (1836), a romance of the age of Pericles, perhaps her best book, Letters from New York (2 vols., 1843-1845), Fact and Fiction (1847), The Power of Kindness (1851), Isaac T.

Ahhhhhh. That's the long drawn-out sigh of me coming to the realisation that now September is coming to a close a new set of freshers are currently embarking on the wonderful rollercoaster that is starting university life.
It has now been 3 years since I also made this transition from the mollycoddled security of sixth form and my parents' home to become a newly independent, little fresher (and I use that term literally, for me Freshers' 14 was unfortunately no myth). This September, however, for the first time I am not returning to formal education as the perpetual student status I held for 17 years will officially be redundant.
September has always been more of my 'new year' than January ever has.
Quite frankly, it's terrifying. No schedule. No one instructing you on what to do and when it needs to be done by. I always moaned about returning to school as a child but I secretly relished in it: the promise of a fresh start, the intellectual progression of moving up a year, and most importantly the trip to WHSmiths to buy that shiny, new pencil case. Essentially, September has always been more of my 'new year' than January ever has.
The preparation for the sudden halt to the conveyor belt of education has been slowly introduced over the years. First it started with free periods in sixth form. Expectation: Heading up to the library and spending an afternoon being oh-so-studious. Reality: Lounging in the common room playing Shithead (a card game) and hiking up the road to Macdonalds. Then came the uni days. Spending a mere 12 hours on campus was certainly a welcome shock.
Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to live off instant noodles, order another round (or five) of sambucas or spend all day in bed as a student. As an adult not so much.
Luckily I do still have an outlet to pretend I'm a student. This weekend I got to go back to my uni town and spend time with my friends who are still studying. It was then that I realised it is the student lifestyle I miss the most. I miss the "it's ok, I'm a student" approach to life. Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to live off instant noodles, order another round (or five) of sambucas or spend all day in bed as a student. As an adult not so much. Unfortunately there is no student loan payment coming every 4 months once you enter the big, bad world.
I even miss the library. Yes, the library. Something I never thought I'd feel, let alone admit. Those times were dark: the all-nighters, the overpriced cappucinos, the many breakdowns when my laptop died and I forgot to hit save. But some laughs were had there also, especially when procrastination was the goal. I suppose it's like a break up; you hone in on the positives. A big chesire cat smile comes across my face when I recall the nights that ended in the best way, eating questionably cheap pizza while having a heart to heart with my nearest and dearest. Yet I don't quite seem to reminisce how awful I felt the following day. I look back with affection at my last student house, somehow forgetting the occasional slug infestation and icy atmosphere on a winter morning.
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened".
I heard a quote recently that struck a chord: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened". What a brilliant way to view life. University was undoubtedly the best time of my life so far, but it was only one chapter and there are many more to come. I will always have the memories to look back on but now it's time to create some new ones.
So a word to the wise for this year's freshers: enjoy it. Every last minute of it because it really will be the best 3 years of your life and it will be gone before you know it.

Social Media Money Making is all in the Inception
Thanks to social media, the days of the banner ads as revenue generators are behind us. Pricing was based on traditional print advertising, but used visitors rather than subscribers as the benchmark. Then when tracking became available, advertisers charged by viewership or "eyeballs", And that morphed into click-throughs, and later into conversions. To be honest, I don't think they were a good investment once the novelty wore off.
Today, I am never quicker with a click then to shut those pop in ads for newsletter subscriptions et al. You still see banner ads (mostly on mobile) but online ads were replaced with search engine ads and corresponding landing pages. Those work but require an offer: either giving something away, a contest to win something or at least a discount -- all at no cost.
Companies now use social media for primarily publicity reasons to drum up interest in their product or service. To extend offers or up sell opportunities. They use it to aid in customer service. Making sales off your Twitter and Facebook? Didn't think so. And if you are, I'm willing to bet it's less than last year despite the fact that 2015 seems to be better for everyone.
Simply put, the companies generating the most revenues through social media are the social media companies themselves. Facebook. Twitter. Pinterest. No surprise here. So are the companies aiding those companies. Social media posting, listening, monitoring software. The business of social media is selling social media. Still confused? You're supposed to be, as that's part of the plan.
Right now the place where people I know are making money in social media is Instagram. How are a collection of selfies with my BFF and what-I-had-for-lunch snaps generating revenue? Uhm, well they're not but I have friends who are doing well on a variety of topics from yoga to interior design. Early adopters to the medium, these friends have Instagram accounts that have amassed followers by the thousands (upwards of a million-plus in some cases). Their business plan? They'll charge you to post your photo (not an ad, but photo mind you) on their account. All in the hopes that some of their followers will see it, and like it enough and follow you. So they can do the same to others. It's the New World pyramid scheme - Ponzi minus the illegal part. There are companies that can tell you everything about the who what and where. What percentage of those million subscribers will actually check their Instagram doing the few hours you paid me to post your photo? Sssh! Don't ask such details. You're ruining the fun.
At times, social media reminds me of the plot to the movie Inception. You understand it (enough) to follow what's going on (sort of), and are happy with the ending that makes sense (some what). Part of our confusion though is our own making. Social media hasn't changed us; we've changed it.

So here we are ladies and gentlemen. The moment of Truth. As a student yearning for higher education in the United States: The land of freedom and unlimited possibilities, I have done everything on the list to convey said yearning to said universities.
I have poured out my soul (or atleast some part of it) in the form of a statement of purpose which aims to convince the powers that be of my intent to study in their "esteemed institution" (as cliched as that sounds). I have also struggled through undergraduate;although watching movies and anime till my retinas screamed out for moisture may not indicate that I did so.
And now I play the dreadful waiting game. Days and days of checking my mail at constant time intervals. And each time the Gmail page loads, I hold my breath,afraid to exhale, as if the mere exhalation might change what I see in my inbox. Superstitious son of a bitch aren't I? I might has well developed OCD by the way I check my mail with the religious fervour of a fanatic. Hoping against hope that today will be the lucky day, with that email that will change my life. Ah bittersweet torment indeed..
My friends seem to fare better. An avid reader of this blog and a friend of mine, closer than a brother, has got his fare share of rejections, NUS included. Another gluttonous buddy,who knows his sunny side up from over easy, has just posted as his status on Facebook, that another university would prefer not to have him there, although the selection of words that conveyed that ill-fated message were quite honeyed(to say the least).
Lets not be all negative... Some friends have broken through the barrier by receiving their letters or emails.
So as that little known wrestler I watched as a child quotes on TNT : "What about me? What about Raven?" I too say What about me? What about Nikhil? At this point even a rejection wouldn't be so bad.. just to see if the other side is alive and kicking.
I feel like that poor pissed off bull at the Portugal annual bullfighting competition. To have the Carmen Opera playing in the background and having thousands of spectators seeing you being taunted and teased by a man in a funny costume.
That red cloth he brandishes like a sword is a metaphor for every application reply pending. And everytime my inbox glumly tells me that there is nothing but static, I feel like that bull who goes through that red robe half expecting the unwitting toreador on the other side.
Another buddy has got a reply.
Yet another rejection email to add to his list
Good god. I should have shifted to journalism or avant garde/freelance writing or stand up comedy if I had had the chance.
This post is dedicated to Viggy who said I should give him something good to read. Glad to oblige da. Enjoy the Bitterness and the English flair! :-)

Always a treat to read - the English flair; if only the truth weren't as bitter!
And I re-iterate: the grass is always greener on the other side. I feel a bit relieved not to see any responses now after facing an avalanche of rejects!

Excellent service. After hailing them on Channel 68 they immediately sent launch to guide us to our mooring which was well maintained amd had a large pennant. The restrooms were lean. The young staff was cheerful and offered to help with everything.
One of our favorite stops. Excellent, clean facilities and a friendly, helpful crew.
We had not been to Brewer Dauntless for three years but nothing had changed. Everyone was just as friendly and helpful as they were before, with the same harbormaster and the same great launch service. Hope to don't have to wait another three years before we make it back!
Brewer Dauntless: Staff are excellent and very friendly. Facility is always spotless. We make a point of staying here at least once or twice each season.
Brewers Dauntless in Essex is a beautiful, well maintained marina. Great facilities. We met wonderful neighbors at our slip and enjoyed a night out with them. We are looking forward to returning in July.
The Marina is located on the west bank of the CT River just north of marker R-26 in the middle of the Essex mooring field. 35 floating docks, and a 150 fixed dock (which also serves as the Valvtect fuel dock) can accommodate any boat. Ample electric is available from 30, 50 to 100 amp service, as well as water and WIFI at each slip. Additionally, the marina has 55 moorings, which are serviced by the marinas launch.
Dauntless Marina was originally known as the Essex Paint and Chemical Company in the 1920s until fire destroyed the building in 1924. It was rebuilt and continued operation until 1986. The original Chandlery of Essex was constructed in 1924, and operated successfully for decades. It was eventually acquired by the Brewer Yacht Yard group in 2008 and later acquired by Safe Harbor Marinas in 2017.

This is a quick and easy recipe that I taught at Whole Foods Market last week. You can make it using rotisserie chicken, canned chicken or leftover turkey. Throw in whatever extra vegetables you have and it is a quick and easy meal. To make it dairy free, use a pie crust made without dairy (I like Breads from Anna). For this version, I used the Whole Foods Market frozen pre-made GF pie crust.
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 cup Chopped onion or leek
¾ cup Chopped celery
1 cup Peas and carrots, frozen or canned
1 cup Potatoes, canned or frozen
1 ½ cups Chicken or turkey, rotisserie, canned or cooked (chopped)
1 cup Broth, vegetable, chicken or turkey
3 Tablespoons GF flour
1/3 cup Heavy cream or soy creamer (can use rice milk)
2 tsp Fresh thyme (1 tsp if using dried thyme)
To taste salt and pepper
2 9" Gluten-free pie crusts (one for bottom and one for top)
To Prepare
Preheat oven to 350. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until softened, but not browned. Add peas, carrots and potatoes and sauté for 5 minutes. Add chicken and stir until warmed throughout.
Sprinkle flour on mixture and stir thoroughly. Add broth and stir until thickened slightly. Add creamer and remaining ingredients and heat and stir until thickened.
Spoon mixture into pie crust. Moisten edge of crust and place second pie crust on top, sealing edges with a fork. Cut slits in top of pie. Bake for 30-40 minutes until pie crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.

Lots of Cubs news coming out of Mesa the past few days. Let's get caught up!
Sandberg Leaves Organization
Ryne Sandberg will not return as the manager of the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. He was offered his position back but decided to move on after losing out on the managerial position. Bob Nightengale tweets that Ryno was offered the bench coach position but turned that down as well. Hendry said that the decision was entirely up to Sandberg but he did not want to return to the minor league level.
Mesa Vote Approved
The city of Mesa has approved funding for a new Chicago Cubs spring training complex. The city will pay up to $99 million for the complex, which will be located two miles southwest of HoHoKam Park.
Aramis Ramirez Exercises Option
As expected, Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez has exercised his 2011 player option. The Cubs knew during the season that Ramirez intended to take the option and the news was officially announced earlier this week. He will make $14.6 million next season.
Dave Keller Rounds Out Coaching Staff
Mike Quade's full coaching staff was officially announced on Tuesday. Dave Keller will be the special assistant to the staff, a role previously held by Matt Sinatro. He has been in the organization as the minor league hitting coordinator since 2004 so he has a knowledge of the players coming throughout the system. One of his jobs will be to assist Rudy Jaramillo. Larry Rothschild, Rudy Jaramillo, Lester Strode, and Ivan DeJesus all return to the staff while Bobby Dernier enters his first full year on the big league staff and Pat Listach joins the club as the bench coach. Interesting to note that the Cubs do not have any former catchers on their staff to work with Geovany Soto and Koyie Hill.
Guzman Outrighted, Signs Minor League Contract
The Cubs outrighted Angel Guzman, removed him from the 40-man roster, and then signed him all in one day. According to Bruce Levine, has inked a minor league deal with the club that includes an invite to Spring Training. Guzman missed all of 2010 with an injury that took place during Spring Training. The 40-man roster is now at 37.
Minor League Coaching Staffs
Full minor league coaching staffs most likely will not be announced for another month, but some of the Cubs' farm clubs' staffs are starting to take shape. Bill Dancy, who led the Tennessee Smokies to the Southern League title game this season, will most likely be promoted to Triple-A to take over for Ryne Sandberg. Tom Beyers is set to replace Keller as the hitting coordinator. Beyers was the Tennessee hitting coach this past season.
Giants Win the World Series
A late congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for becoming the champions of the baseball world on Monday night. The Giants included former Cubs Mark DeRosa, Mike Fontenot, and Andres Torres. Shawn Dunston is a special assistant for the Giants, so he will get a ring as well. Fontenot appeared in eight postseason games, one in the World Series.
That's it for now, but I'll keep you posted!

Just as a follow up to the Lee Bowyer post, it looks as if Nigel Quashie is returning to Upton Park…
Playing Newcastle at St James's Park is always a lottery for West Ham. We usually either get thumped or pull off a memorable victory. There always seem to be a few goals. Having said that, the last time we won there was in 1998. The team is likely to be rather different, both defensively and in midfield tomorrow, although Cole and Bellamy will both start.
Scott Parker is back from suspension and he will partner Mark Noble in midfield, I imagine with Behrami coming in on the right and Collison switching to the left. Behrami is becoming a vital player to us. He has won more free kicks than any other plater in the Premier League. Lucas Neill is also fit to return so Julien Faubert will miss out, and Matthew Upson will come in for James Tomkins. Kieron Dyer will hopefully get another runout for twenty minutes from the bench.
Our substitute picks are going to be increasingly interesting as the squad reduces in size.
We're looking for our fourth successive victory and to extend our six match unbeaten run away from home. I am very optimistic we can get a point or three at Newcastle. Let's hope the team don't prove me wrong. Come on Carlton, a fourth successive goal please!

Of First Importance by Beth Ann Fiedler ©2008 Beth Ann Fiedler 3/64. All Rights Reserved.
I have memorized various witnessing techniques ranging from the use of colored beads in bracelets to trying to live a saintly life. For me, these methods have not lasted very long on my own strength. I have discovered the reason that this comes to pass can be summed in the computer world's vernacular phrase "operator error". In short, the tools are ok but the operator needs to be reminded how to use them in proper order.
I turn to my bible knowing that in the far corners of my memory and from yellow highlighted text in my New International Version Women's Devotional Study Guide, there is evidence of more clearly delineated operator instructions. This is a good place to begin. So, why is it so hard for me to remember to look for the answers in the bible when I get sidetracked with the daily struggles we call life? Especially when I remember to take the time to look, I am blessed with a reminder that is "of first importance"-Christ died. (I Cor. 15:3, NIV.) The text does not distinguish a second or third priority but streams the next items in series to include-he was buried, resurrected, and appeared alive. First, to a select few and then to hundreds. Last of all to Paul.
Though Paul considered himself unworthy, he did walk effectively with the Lord because he recognized that the Lord had fulfilled His promises "according to scriptures" (I Cor. 15:3) and knew what was of first importance.
Though I fondly recall that this particular NIV had been read during services in the Middle East and also had an unfortunate mishap in a Jacksonville, FL church toilet, I regret that I do not recall who gave the particular sermon that caused me to highlight the text that encapsulated the entire New Testament in four actions listed in six verses of scripture. I guess knowing that Paul spoke about it first should suffice. But, understanding that whoever it was chose to give attention to the Word of God instead of him or her self speaks volumes to their testimony. They have learned as Paul has learned proper order.
In my daily walk and in my feeble attempts to speak of a Risen Lord, help me to remember these simple truths. Begin in proper order in the bible where Christ died so that even the most unworthy can overcome operator errors and to understand what is of first importance.
I Cor. 15:3-8 NIV
3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

November 12, 1997
LINDA SPARROW, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.LA CACHET, INC., CHRISTINE VALMY, INC. AND MARINA BRATSUPIS, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS.
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County.
Approved for Publication November 12, 1997.
Before Judges Petrella, Skillman and Wertheimer. The opinion of the court was delivered by Skillman, J.A.D.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Skillman
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Plaintiff was employed as a beautician by defendant La Cachet, Inc. When she reported for work on the morning of February 8, 1991, plaintiff was informed that there were no customers for her to serve and that she should go home. Under the terms of her employment, this meant that plaintiff would receive no compensation for that day. However, plaintiff told the owner of La Cachet, Maria Lopez, that she was going on vacation and asked if she could get a facial. Lopez agreed to this request and assigned defendant Marina Bratsupis to administer the facial using a machine manufactured by defendant Christine Valmy, Inc. (Christine Valmy). At some point during this procedure the machine suddenly emitted scalding water and steam, which caused burning and scarring to plaintiff's neck.
Plaintiff brought this personal injury action against La Cachet, Bratsupis and Christine Valmy. *fn1 After deposing plaintiff, Christine Valmy moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted the motion, concluding in an oral opinion that plaintiff had not produced any expert opinion or other evidence from which a jury could find that the machine manufactured by Christine Valmy was defective.
When the case was called for trial against La Cachet and Bratsupis, the parties stipulated that the sole liability issue was whether plaintiff's accident occurred during and in the course of her employment and consequently was barred by the Workers' Compensation Act, N.J.S.A. 34:15-1 to -128, and that this issue could be decided solely on the basis of plaintiff's deposition. The parties also stipulated that if the case was not barred by the Workers' Compensation Act, there was no defense to the plaintiff's negligence claim and the case should be scheduled for a trial on damages. The court concluded in a letter opinion that plaintiff's accident had occurred during and in the course of her employment and consequently that her tort action against La Cachet and Bratsupis was barred.
Plaintiff appeals. We affirm the summary judgment in favor of Christine Valmy. However, we conclude that plaintiff's accident did not occur during and in the course of her employment. Therefore, we reverse the dismissal of plaintiff's complaint against La Cachet and Bratsupis and remand for a trial on damages against these defendants.
Plaintiff's appeal from the dismissal of her product liability claim against Christine Valmy is clearly without merit and does not require extended Discussion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(E). Plaintiff stated in her answers to interrogatories that she did not intend to present any expert opinion testimony to support this claim. Instead, she indicated that she would rely solely upon statements of two coworkers at La Cachet that the machine "never worked right" and "always caused problems." However, plaintiff did not present any evidence as to when the machine was manufactured, whether La Cachet purchased the machine new or used, whether La Cachet properly maintained the machine, or whether the machine was properly used by La Cachet's employees. In fact, plaintiff testified that the machine was on the premises prior to the time La Cachet hired the two coworkers whose statements she relies upon in support of her claim against Christine Valmy. Therefore, plaintiff did not present evidence from which a trier of fact could infer without supporting expert testimony that the machine was defective when distributed. Compare Moraca v. Ford Motor Co., 66 N.J. 454, 460, 332 A.2d 599 (1975); Ventura v. Ford Motor Co., 180 N.J. Super. 45, 53, 433 A.2d 801 (App. Div. 1981).
To be compensable under the Workers' Compensation Act, an accident must "arise out of and in the course of employment." N.J.S.A. 34:15-7. The phrase "in the course of" employment refers to "the time, place, and circumstances of the accident in relation to the employment" and the phrase "arising out of" employment refers to the "causal origin" of an accident. Coleman v. Cycle Transformer Corp., 105 N.J. 285, 288, 520 A.2d 1341 (1986) (quoting 1 A. Larson, Workmen's Compensation Law § 6.10 (1985)).
We have serious doubt whether plaintiff's accident occurred "in the course of" employment. Plaintiff would have been within the course of her employment if she had tripped on the carpet at the entrance to the beauty salon when she was reporting for work or as she was departing after being informed that there was no work available. However, we consider it strongly arguable that when plaintiff decided to stay in the shop in order to obtain a facial, she no longer was in the course of her employment but rather occupied the same status as any other customer. The fact that she received the facial on a day she had reported for work appears purely coincidental; she could just as easily have received this treatment on one of her days off. Nevertheless, the prior decisions of our courts have construed this test of compensability quite expansively. See, e.g., Coleman v. Cycle Transformer Corp., (supra) , 105 N.J. at 289-90; Mikkelsen v. N.L. Indus., 72 N.J. 209, 212-13, 370 A.2d 5 ...

TO MARK THE 860TH Anniversary of the Priory being raised to Conventual Status we publish a list of Priors
William: occurs as prior 1154.
Durand: occurs as prior in Henry II's reign (1154-89).
Henry: consecrated by the bishop of Llandaff in December 1193.
Richard: occurs as prior in 1291.
Giles de Lummier (Limenei): 1291-3.
A monk of St Vincent le Mans, he was installed as prior of Abergavenny by the archbishop of Canterbury in February 1292 and resigned in June 1293 on account of infirmity.
William de Lonboul: 1293-?
A monk of St Vincent le Mans, he was admitted to office in August 1293.
Fulk Gastard: ? – 1320.
Fulk was removed from office in September 1320 after Bishop Orleton of Hereford received instruction from the pope to investigate the state of the priory.
Richard of Bromwich: 1320 – ?
A monk of Worcester, he was appointed to office by the bishop of Worcester upon the removal of Fulk Gastard. Richard returned to Worcester in 1325 when the prior of Worcester appealed for his return as their lecturer.
John le Peleter: occurs as prior in February 1344.
William Pelliparius: occurs as prior in June 1348, March 1351 and before 1354.
John Hegan: occurs as prior in March 1354 and 1355.
John had certainly left office by October 1369 when John de la Ferte, monk of Abergavenny, went to St Vincent Le Mans for the election of a new prior following the death of the previous (unnamed) prior.
William Petrowe (Peydrow, Peytrau): until pre 1417.
William occurs from October 1371 until July 1387 but it seems that at some point he lost custody of the house. Brother John Eweas was granted custody of the house in 1381 but in 1400 the priory was restored to William.

A monk of Christ Church, Canterbury, Robert was presented to office by the king in 1417; he occurs as prior in 1428.

William Marley (Merley, Merleye): pre 1536.
William acknowledged Royal Supremacy in 1534 and was prior when the monastery was dissolved in September 1536; he was granted a pension in June 1536.

For some people, a Power of Attorney conjures up images of being able to leap tall subpoenas in a single bound. In reality, a Power of Attorney is a written document that enables a person known as the principal to designate another person or persons as his attorney-in-fact, which means that this person can act on the principal's behalf. Although this person is called an attorney, in this context, the word "attorney" merely means agent. He or she does not have to be a lawyer. The scope of the Power of Attorney can be as broad or as limited as desired.
For many years Powers of Attorney allowed you as principal to appoint someone to manage your financial affairs unless you were incapacitated. In other words, you could appoint someone to act on your behalf unless you actually needed someone to do so, at which time the Power of Attorney was automatically deemed void and invalid. It only took our legislators around 200 years to realize that when someone is incapacitated, that is precisely when they need someone to act on their behalf and when they want it to be the person of their choosing. The reasoning behind the older Power of Attorney laws was that because potentially people were giving someone else so much power over their finances, the law wanted this power to be always revocable and, it was thought, someone who was incapacitated would not be able to revoke the Power of Attorney. Finally though, the legislatures around the country recognized that people wanted Powers of Attorney to be effective at just those times, and so the Durable Power of Attorney was born.

New Orleans Public Library's (NOPL) hours will increase in 2016, NOPL Executive Director Charles Brown announced last week.
Beginning Jan. 3, 2016, all libraries will be open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., as well as Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Six libraries will open on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to the Main Library, the Sunday branches will be Algiers, East New Orleans, Milton H. Latter, Norman Mayer/Gentilly and Robert E. Smith/Lakeview.
Orleans Parish voters overwhelmingly approved a 25-year, 2.5-mill property tax in May to support NOPL. Library officials estimated the tax hike would add $8.25 million per year to the library's budget. That money is in addition to an existing 3.14-mill tax, which is set to expire in 2021. In his pitch for the millage, Brown said the additional funds would allow for expanded hours and six- or seven-day operation of all branches.

I am a magazine hoarder from way back but over the Christmas/summer holidays I decided to ruthlessly cull my collection. Instead of keeping a magazine because it contained just one thing I liked (my usual criteria) I ripped out the page and stuck it into a scrap book. One book is for recipes and the second for home and craft.
There is a bit of similarity in the recipes I've collected (tarte tartin and apple tart!). I like making desserts and cakes though most of my cooking is regular dinner recipes. Some of my favourite recipes made from this collection are polenta and vegetables with tomato sauce, and meatballs with the same tomato sauce (these are great cold; I make them with lamb mince – yummy). Most of these clippings are from the Australian Family Circle; unfortunately the magazine went out of production last December.

Basement (the Glass House. August 12, 2014)
I still remember the day that Basement played down the street from the Glass House at Aladdin Jr. 2 — I wasn't there. I was accompanying a friend to an open forum discussion on unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). While watching old people argue on off-topic issues was entertaining, I knew I was missing out on an even better show by a band that was going away for an undetermined amount of time. Snap back to current times: Aladdin Jr. 2 is long gone, but Basement was back in the US for an incredible sold-out show.
With the show moving from Chain Reaction to the Glass House to accommodate more fans, I knew this show was going to be special. When the show sold out, my excitement grew even further. Over the course of their hiatus, Basement received a lot of new fans wishing for a chance to have seen them live… and now people (including myself) were getting that chance.
With two albums and a few EPs to pull from, Basement put on the exact show I had pictured in my mind — tons of energy, great audience response, and a sold-out venue full of smiling faces. The beach balls flying around was unexpected, but definitely added to the fun for everyone on and off the stage. You can tell the band was really enjoying themselves on stage and really gave it their all. First impressions go a long way and, for many people, Basement really put their best foot forward. The band was incredible to watch live and I know a lot of people are happy they're back from hiatus. If the audience response to the stage show wasn't indication enough, the crowd surrounding their merch table after the show was a dead giveaway.
Thanks to Justin for setting me up for the show!

Benefits of Physical Therapy (Aired on July 13, 2012)
William BreMiller and John Roger, physical therapists with extensive medical and academic credentials, discuss the benefits of physical therapy, especially orthopedic therapy. Therapy is commonly used for treating movement disorders caused by aging, arthritis, injuries, and so forth. But there are also a wide variety of conditions that physical therapy addresses, including post-trauma rehabilitation, surgery follow up, sports injuries, and even headache management. The interview covers tips to prevent conditions from becoming chronic as well as the ways that modern therapy strategies speed recovery. There are many reasons why more people today are seeking physical therapy, especially young athletes.

The first tip I give people looking for a job is to create attraction just like in dating. The ways to do that with LinkedIn is first have your profile just as good as you can get it and then start the next phase. Your profile is now a living online version of you and you want people to know and like you. Start asking / posting questions, business questions, which show you have a strong understanding of the audience you seek to attract. That will engage them with you and open a channel for further conversation. Show you are interested in their position or possible position with their company. That you might be inclined to talk more seriously but not overly interested. Again, like dating. Remember at the core people are just that, people. Too interested you spook them away, not enough and never get them but just right and you get what you want and make them feel like they landed the best fish / candidate ever. You want to get caught but not wanting them to really know it. Not yet.. Save that excitement once you get to an interview.
What I have learned about many to almost all recruiters these days is that most rarely even check their inbox for resumes that come in and just stay glued to the job boards, postings, and the sites they like to search using their key words searches. So help them "find you" in one of those searches. Sadly, from my stand point, very few people head hunt these days but that's good news for you using these methods.
Do a search for LION using the LinkedIn search and add all those Linkedin Open Networkers like myself. You will find an email address in their profile to allow you to send them an invitation to connect. I am connected with over 14 million people in my 3rd degree right now. This will make it easier for recruiters and hiring managers to find you in a search. A great group to join is www.door64.com but it's really focused in Austin Texas right now.
Search the jobs in LinkedIn. See who those hiring managers and / or recruiters are and what groups they are in. You can join groups they belong to and once a member you can email them without directly connecting with them. The more you are connected to the better. Remember this because many people these days only "connect with people they know". What a horrible waste of data and opportunity for them and for you. It's not like you can't see them in a search. Anyway.. I digress…
Answer as many posted questions as you can and drop little hints that you may be on the market in your replies. This keeps you on top of people's screen when they log in to LinkedIn. This takes dedication and work but if you want to land a good job then make the effort.
Next thing is to randomly change things in your profile. This will keep your profile visible and acts as bait for those hiring folks out there. Like a lure in the water. Someone will bite. I know this works. I have helped several people land great new gigs with my methods.
If this helps please feel free to send me a recommendation on LinkedIn because those help you and I get noticed. 🙂 They show up on top as well when you recommend someone and when you get a recommendation. Hope this helps you as well. It's not perfect but it sure does help and when looking for a job sometimes just feeling like you are staying in action helps keep your confidence up. At least this way each day you feel like you are making progress towards your goal.
Best wishes and happy hunting,

Oban is the unofficial capital of the Western Highlands, and this is one of the few distilleries operating in the region. It is one of the smallest producers in the Diageo "Classic Malts" series, and is one of less than a dozen active distilleries that can trace its roots back to the 18th century.
The whisky itself is certainly tasty enough. It has a balanced nose with a bit of peat in the background; I didn't sense the briney character (like a Springbank from Cambeltown) that is often associated with Oban, but that may have been this particular bottling. The palate showed a little smoke and malt, and opened up better with a small dose of water.
Overall: B- (an enjoyable whisky and well worth sampling; for my taste, it lacked a finish and a bit of spine that would make it really stand out)

MEDICINE HAT, AB — It was not the ending that anyone who lives and breathes orange wanted, but it came after a hard fought Eastern Conference Semifinal series that went the distance.
"You always want to see the team go the full distance," said Canalta Centre GM Peter Jelinski Thursday afternoon inside the building's concourse. "The more games you have at home the better for everybody, including your franchise and your building. Those ticket sales are important for building for the future."
Over three and a half weeks 27,069 fans came out for the Tigers six home playoff games according to the team's posted attendance — 19,695 for the Lethbridge series alone.
"We were very pleased to see an increase in crowds as the games went on and the people that were in here we were very pleased to see were spending more money than a typical Tigers game," said Jelinski.
Compared to the regular season where people were spending on average in the single-digit dollar range, Jelinksi says in the playoffs that rose to double-digits.
"We probably had a 25 per cent increase in the amount of dollars people were spending coming through the doors here, which was a real pleasant surprise."
For the Tigers, who had their first playoffs inside the Canalta Centre this postseason, it was a good experience despite an earlier exit than they obviously would have liked.
"Canalta Centre is a great building and we proved that we could make it loud especially during the last series," said the team's communication manager Ryan Plysuik. "That's the passion of our fans and they've always had it, it's just a matter of bringing it out, and we needed some playoff hockey to do that."
Both entities are also hoping to build upon this year's success.
"Next season when hockey rolls around I hope this run and the excitement that we had here translates into even bigger attendance," says Jelinksi.
"It's a good playoff run that we had and I think moving forward hopefully the guys can continue that and start our own streak here in the Canalta Centre," added Plysuik.
Final playoff revenue for the Canalta Centre won't be known until the end of April says Jelinski, but he's confident it will help their year-end figures a lot.
"The more events you have in here the more revenue you generate, so it's in everybody's best interest to have as many events as possible."

Nothing like a good visualisation
Bugs Bunny And Marvin The Martian via Noolmusic.com
Unlike the sisters, however, I regard it as a major failing and character flaw, and -- as with other curses of the human condition, like migraines -- try very hard to stay out of situations that might bring it on. Unfortunately I have now failed to do this two days running, and find myself wanting to scream obscenities at two completely different lots of people -- one online, one off -- which is some kind of a record even for me.
And so there is nothing for it but housework therapy. By the time I've wielded the vacuum cleaner the length and breadth of the house, including the special attachments for curtains and sofas, I'll have vacuumed them all up in my imagination, consigned them to the disposable vacuum cleaner bag where they can be smothered by the kilos of cat hair, and chucked the bag in the bin.

I love to suck my enemies into the vacuum cleaner. With the fur AND the flea eggs.
Last week I was so breathless with fury that I actually swam three kilomters for the first time in eighteen months. I was so enraged, and my heartrate so elevated, that I knew I couldnt get out of the water till I was truly whacked.

Yes, the elevated heart rate is a bit of a worry. I'm a statistical sitting duck for a heart attack when I get this enraged.

My new vac is bagless so when I try this out after my next run-in with The Ogress and other ee-vill combatants, they will be forced to reside amongst my millipede and beetle collection until the dust compartment is next emptied. A grand stratagem.

I went to see an exhibition at the Maritime Museum to calm down a bit, but I think I may still need the therapeutic housework tomorrow. If only to enjoy that visualisation.
- April 5, 2010 at 9:25 PM
- Kerryn Goldsworthy said...
You have to ask yourself what's the matter with them, and what that level of defensiveness is really saying. Hope the Maritime Museum was a good distraction. I had a family meltdown to take my mind off the 'La la la I can't hear you, because I'm not reading your comments and even if I did I wouldn't understand them' brigade.
[Note to other visitors: Casey and TT and I, among others, got into a bizarre online discussion of language and gender yesterday and today that brought out the worst in some of the participants.]
- April 5, 2010 at 9:52 PM
- tigtog said...
The exhibition was all about mythic creatures, so it was a pretty good distraction, actually.
I guess I do understand the level of defensiveness a little based on my own past experience: I used to be defensive about African American criticism of the word "niggardly" as a slur against POC, because I once upon a time bought into the RealEtymology(TM) argument that the word didn't derive from anything to do with the word "negro" etc etc. I felt very strongly once that making a stand about what words "really mean" was Very Important, when of course, usage evolves, and most importantly, Usage trumps Etymology anyway, even when we don't like it.
That's because I realised that it doesn't matter what the word originally meant (fascinating as etymology is), because arsehats really have been using "niggardly" to make "jokes" based on punning on the word "n*gg*r" - it's not just some faux-etymology that "oversensitive" POC have made up all by themselves (see also "picnic" as "pick a n*gg*r" lynching "parties"). No wonder it is that racist slur that jumps out at POC when they hear the word and it makes them feel marginalised and unsafe.
Also, really super-special arsehats actually go into tortuous wordings when ordering at restaurants with POC wait-staff to deliberately include these words when they are ordering their food, just because they know it makes the servers uncomfortable but they can't do anything about it. Who wants to be associated in any way with arsehats like that just by standing your ground on words which have synonyms you can use instead?
The side-fact that those words don't carry such weight here in Australia is pretty irrelevant when one is writing for a global audience, too.

Wow, that was an interesting read. I wonder when asking someone to be courteous became an attack on their civil (ha!) rights?
Sorry I wasn't around to wade into the fray with you, but I suspect it wouldn't have made much difference I don't think they were listening.

Get to
Get to.
They remind us to be grateful for everything. "Instead of saying, 'I have to go to work today', Frank tells himself, 'I get to go to work'. Instead of saying, 'I have to get groceries,' he gets to. Instead of saying, 'I have to take the kids to baseball practice,' he gets to. It works for everything". I have done this most with small tasks that are harder for me than I think they should be. I get to. And aside from the smaller things- I get to watch Oak grow up. I get to be a mom and all that comes with it, cleaning, cooking, laundry, taking the kids to practice, shopping for them. I get to teach Oakland how to pray, serve, love. I get to have two perfect little boys...I get to adopt.
Every day I'm getting stronger. I don't sleep as much, I get to help Oakland with a few things throughout the day and even have done some laundry by myself. I know they seem so small but to me they are huge steps. Josh and I have "story time" each night because I am so curious about everything. When did people arrive at our house- police chief, paramedics, air med, our Bishop, his wife who took Oakland for us- what was Oakland's reaction, who did he call first after 911, how he made the decisions he did, who spent the most time with him at the hospital, was he scared... The more I learn, the more I realize how close I was to not coming back. A lot of people know more about the situation than I do, I simply don't remember. From being sedated, maybe. Maybe from being protected as most things you would not want to remember. My body went through a lot.
I got a miracle. And I'm not wasting a minute of it.

Those certainly are beautiful words to live by. You don't think about them as "beautiful" at first, but after reading how you use them, they truly are beautiful. Continued prayers for you and your family.

You're so amazing Cali! I've been praying for you, your family, your sweet girl, and your boys every night. I love you and am so amazed at how strong you've been. Thank you for this post, I can't explain how much those two words hit me while reading this and I'm going to try so hard to focus on those words the way you have. All my love.

As someone who has been truley appreciative of you sharing everything you've been through I'm so inspired by you and your family. You are so strong! You don't know me and I don't really know you, although I do feel like I do just from reading about everything. :) I just wanted to say that you are such a Hero of sorts for those of us that take every day things for granted...you help me to remember to not fret over the small things that can irritate someone but yet step back and realize it's a blessing to even be experiencing it. You make me remember to be grateful, for everything. Thanks for sharing your stories and I continue to pray for you and your family that life will be great for you and that you will "Get to" do all things you hope to. I love the "Get to" phrase and hope to bring it into my own life. Keep being the strong person and great person you are. :) Loves to you and your family.

You amaze me.
I don't know how I would get through my simple life- without knowing you. You just amaze me.
I love you, Noggin. I am so grateful I know you. And can call you friend.
When we are in Heaven, surrounded by millions of people, (because of the way you have lived, everyone will want to know you) I will be so blessed to say I knew you in person. I got to witness the amazing example you set for all of us.
You are one tough cookie! And I love your example of staying close to Christ and our Heavenly Father through all of your many, many, many trials. Thank you for teaching me what a true ralationship with our Father and Brother is.

I don't know you.... But a friend posted your story about baby Mac a few years ago and I remember reading the blog and being touched by your faith.... When I saw the recent posts detailing all you were going through, my heart ached for you... I followed the Millers' blog and was touched by the countless miracles that have transpired in your life over the past few months. I pray that you will get stronger every day... I admire your positive outlook after all you have endured.

You don't know me. someone sent your AFE story to me. I am so happy to hear you are doing so well. I am sorry to learn of the loss of your baby. My daughter suffered AFE 6/2/11. We decided to bring our daughter home and to care for her here. Her husband is my daughters primary care giver and I care for their baby Sophie who is very healthy. We too see the Lords blessings. Kimberly is in a persistent vegatative state but we know she is there and is fighting to come back to baby Sophie

A recent paper by Sasaki and Pratt, published in Biology Letters last week, describes an elegant study that expands our understanding of ant decision-making. Their simple experimental design is shown in Figure 1 (taken from the paper):
The focus of their experiment was to determine if, when choosing which site to make a nest, ants shift the weights of attributes they consider as a result of previous experiences. Several past studies focusing on many different species have looked at the impact of weighting choices on decision-making, but this paper is, according to the authors, the first to document potential shifts in weighting multiple variables due to experiences. Specifically, Sasaki and Pratt looked at preferences for entrance size and light availability, because the ant species of interest, Temnothorax rugatulus, is known to prefer nests that have smaller entrance size and lower light availability.
What the researchers found was that when the ants were first exposed to only a standard (ideal) nest and another nest that varied in only one attribute (light or entrance size), the ants later exhibited a significant increase in preference for nest sites that were more desirable in that one attribute, but less desirable for the other. For example, the ants that were first made to choose between a standard nest and a nest with higher light availability consistently chose the standard, more ideal nest. Then, when presented with a choice between a nest that had a small entrance, but more light, and one that had less light, but a larger entrance, the ants chose the nest with more optimal light conditions at the expense of less ideal entrance size conditions. Revealingly, the ants that were first made to choose between a standard nest and one with a larger entrance size later chose the nest with the more optimal size conditions. Therefore, potentially due to the perception of rareness of one nest trait, the ants increased the weight of that trait when seeking out a new nest in the future. The results of this tight experiment seem to me to provide compelling evidence that ants somehow collectively use a decision-making process that incorporates past information to shift the weights of preference in later choices.
Perhaps the most interesting bit about the study is that the ants' style of decision-making has also been documented in humans. As the authors note, past research has shown the influence of scarcity in social psychology, where people will more strongly seek out something that they perceive to be rare. Although the underlying mechanism used to incorporate scarcity into decisions may be different between ants and humans, it is interesting to consider that our mental processes may mirror those of the small creatures underfoot.

Erin & The Amazing Twinsbykimberlykitten©
Erin and Samantha have grown closer since their sexual encounter. Samantha would come home early from a night out with her friends, just to be with her incredible busty lover. Erin and Samantha would rent movies, play games, and of course, have tons of wild sex that any man would dream of with a busty girl.
One night, Erin and Sam rented a 1950 classic called "The Amazing Twins." It's one of Erin's favorite Martians meet cowboy movies. Even though the special effects were cheesy, Erin still loved James Dean for wearing his tight cowboy jeans. Sam wasn't really into the old western sci-fi movies. She ended up falling asleep, leaving Erin to enjoy her favorite movie.
As the movie was coming to an end, Erin didn't realize how tired she was from studying earlier and for giving Samantha an hour-long blowjob. Erin started dozing off and soon fell asleep along side Samantha.
Fifteen minutes later, Erin woke up to the sounds of the television as all the channels had gone off the air. Samantha was gone and Erin started panicking until she saw Samantha lying in her own bed, sound asleep.
Suddenly, Erin heard a knock at the door. She was afraid to answer it seeing how it was 3:00 AM in the morning. Erin walked over to the door and started looking through the peephole. She was freaked out by what she saw. Standing outside her door were two tall males dressed in 1950's alien costumes with large purple motorcycle helmets on their heads and weird antennas sticking out from their helmets.
"Please, open the door, Erin. We need your help," said one of the strange looking men with a robotic-like voice.
"Please, go somewhere else. I can't help you," Erin responded.
She turned around and the two strange men were behind her.
"AAHHHHH!!!" Erin screamed.
One of the strange men lifted up a finger and aimed it at Erin's mouth, making her screams silent. Erin realized that she wasn't saying anything and closed her mouth.
"We're not here to hurt you, Erin. You're the only one that can help us," said one of the odd men.
Erin's eyes moved up and down the strange men and saw their enormous genitals, bulging through their tight, spandex tights.
"How can I help you?" Erin answered surprisingly getting her voice back.
The bizarre men took off their large helmets, revealing their gorgeous faces to Erin. One guy had green-yellowish eyes, dark hair, and kind of resembled Colin Ferrell. The other guy's face was longer with a pointy chin and blue eyes and messy blond-brownish hair. He looked like a younger version of Jay Leno. After their helmets were off, the two men started pulling down their spandex tights, revealing their monstrous horse like cocks with giant grapefruit balls.
Erin was gasping for air at the sight of their throbbing rods. They had to be at least 16 inches long Erin thought to herself. She wondered how her pussy could survive an assault from either one of their dicks.
"We're the Amazing Twins. I'm Harry and this is Noland," said the dark haired guy. "Our cocks are in great pain and you're the only one that can relieve us of our pain."
"Why me?" Erin asked.
"You have the biggest breasts we have ever seen. We traveled the universe searching for the busty one. You're the busty one that can make our pain stop. An evil busty witch from the plant Von, gave us both blue balls and hard cocks. She tortured us and released us with our throbbing pain. Legend has it that only an average looking girl with incredible natural breasts can save us."
"I see," Erin replied folding her arms across her chest, making her mountainous breasts bulge from the sides.
"You're what the legend speaks of. Massive breasts with a huge ass and a mouth built for cocks," said Noland.
"Hey! I'm not a slut," Erin responded. "But if my assets will help you guys recover and continue living health, full lives, then I'll be happy to relieve the both of you of your amazing boners."
Both Harry and Noland had huge smiles on their faces. They started stroking their pulsing dicks as Erin walked closer to them. Erin got on her knees and wrapped both hands around the base of Harry's enormous cock first, but she engulfed Noland's swollen purple cock head between her full lips.
Erin started bobbing her head up and down Noland's thick meat, taking half his 16-inch shaft down her throat. While the rapidly stroked Harry's cock, she could feel it pulsing between her palms almost like a heartbeat. The mysterious aroma of Noland's crotch was mesmerizing Erin as she further moved her mouth down his meat, sliding her tongue all over his shaft. Harry started poking Erin in the face with his big cock head, wanting to get a turn in her mouth. Erin pulled Noland's massive cock out and impaled Harry's massive rod down her throat.
Harry was moving his cock all over the inside of Erin's mouth, bulging her cheeks out and dragging his cock head against the root of her mouth. Erin's tongue penetrated against Harry's pee hole.
"Oooohhhh God! I'm so glad we found you," moaned Harry as Erin's tongue wiggled further inside his pee hole.
Noland was getting bored. He looked down at Erin's humongous jugs swaying to and fro inside her extra large tee shirt. He reached down and started squeezing them. Erin's big hard nipples dragged against Noland's palms. Not even Noland's large hands could squeeze Erin's jumbo breasts as they overflowed his hands. As Noland was squeezing her tits, Erin started sucking harder on Harry's cock, forcing more of his meat down her throat.
Erin grabbed Noland's cock with one hand and started stroking at the base. Harry's wet cock dropped out from between her lips. Erin started licking his shaft up and down like an ice cream melting on a hot day.
"Move next to Harry, Noland," Erin suggested.
The two strange men were now side by side with their massive cocks throbbing towards Erin. Erin lifted up both their dicks and started moving her tongue over both sets of balls, licking first Harry's and then Noland's. Harry and Noland's cocks touched, allowing Erin to engulf a huge nut from each one of them into her mouth. Erin sucked and chewed on their winkled balls.
After Erin feasted on both their balls, she stood up and raised her arms.
"Why don't you guys do the honors?" Erin said, suggesting they remove her shirt.
Noland and Harry got on opposite sides of Erin and lifted her shirt up, over her voluptuous body. Her giant 38J cups bounced and swayed around her chest. Noland and Harry's eyes got wider at the sight of Erin's astonishing jugs. Each one took a huge tit in both hands and started squeezing her flesh, running their fingers all over her juicy melons, leaving the hard nipples untouched. Both Harry and Noland started wobbling Erin's gigantic orbs by holding the base of her breasts. Their cocks grew harder as they watched her tits wobble like huge bowls of jell-o.
"These things are magnificent so soft and heavy. Wish these juicy babies were full of milk," moaned Noland as he kneaded Erin's breast harder.
Harry pinched and tugged on Erin's thick hard nipple before taking it between his lips. Harry got a good amount of Erin's tit flesh between his lips while sucking hard on her aroused nipple. Noland did the same thing to Erin's other nipple. Erin held their heads against her meaty jugs and listened to the sounds of their slurping and sucking. Their massive dicks rested against Erin's thighs as they feasted on her giant melons.
Both Harry and Noland's mouths turned into mini vacuums, nearly sucking the dear life out of Erin's breasts. Their tongues moved all along the front surface of her smooth jugs, making circles around her big areolas and teasing the nipples with the tips of their tongues. Erin's panties became soaked and her pussy felt like a raging fire. Erin's body felt a chilling sensation as the boys brought her to an amazing orgasm from sucking her tits. Erin started cumming all inside her white panties. Noland and Harry continued their tongue and teeth assault on Erin's nipples.
"I never knew breasts tasted this good," moaned Harry in between stuffing his mouth full of Erin's delicious orbs.
Noland was also trying to stuff as much of Erin's tit flesh between his lips as possible. The orgasms continued to come and Erin continued cumming as no parts of her colossal tits were left dry.
Both Harry and Noland pushed Erin down onto the couch. Noland started pulling Erin's soaked panties down over her sock-covered feet. Harry now had both breasts to suck on. He smashed them together, making one giant nipple and suckled both into his mouth. That drove Erin crazy and she came again while Noland started licking her swollen cunt lips. He could taste her cum as it was pouring out of her pussy. Noland probed his tongue deep into Erin's womb. Erin arched her back, pushing her pussy against Noland's mouth. Her massive breasts ballooned out of her chest, and Harry had his hands and mouth all over them.
Noland furiously licked at Erin's enlarged clitoris. Erin was screaming and moaning, brought to several orgasms before finally releasing her juices in Noland's mouth.
"I think she's ready to make us ejaculate," said Harry in his robotic like voice. "Since you're already at her cunt, you can go first."
Harry reached over on the table for some baby oil. Erin was surprised that baby oil was even in their dorm room. Harry started pouring half the bottle of baby oil over Erin's humongous titties. He inserted his massive shaft between Erin's lips. Letting her suck his hard, thick cock while he massaged the baby oil over every inch of her well-sucked titties.
Noland let some of the baby oil drip down onto his huge cock head. He started to rub his slippery cock head against Erin's clitoris, sending chills throughout her succulent body. After teasing her pussy for a few minutes, Noland eases his throbbing cock between her moist pussy folds.
"OH GOD, it feels so good to have my cock inside a warm pussy again. Feels like warm apple pie," moaned Noland as he pushed his big dick through Erin's moist cunt walls.
Noland took hold of Erin's calves and began to thrust his thick shaft deep into her womb. Erin was moaning and groaning around Harry's giant cock stuffed between her lips. Noland just furiously pounded her pussy away and watched her giant slippery tits, slide and wobble all over her chest.
Harry pulled his wet cock out of Erin's mouth and straddled her stomach. He slapped his massive cock between her oiled titties. He gripped Erin's breasts from the sides, squeezing them around his hard dick tightly. Erin had her hands behind her head as Harry started thrusting swiftly between her mountainous tits.
Erin's voluptuous body was now a fuck toy for these two outer space strangers. She could barely contain herself while being fucked mercilessly by two giant cocks. Harry's huge cock head repeatedly popped out from between her cleavage and hit her chin. Harry had his hands full of Erin's J cups, sinking her soft, spongy flesh between his fingers while the rock-hard rubbery big nipples poked at his palms. Harry's huge balls were bouncing up against the bottoms of Erin's slippery breasts as he thrusted faster and harder between her wet cleavage.
Noland was nearly balls deep inside Erin's drenching pussy. His huge glistening cock was stuffed completely inside her swollen cunt. Their thick thighs banged together as Noland pounded her soaked pussy. Noland even kept his middle finger at her clitoris and rubbed it heatedly as Erin started cumming. Noland could feel her pussy juices flowing over his cock and balls.
Harry began pulling and pinching Erin's large nipples, rubbing them between his thumb and forefinger. Erin cupped her giant mammoths from the bottom, allowing Harry to continue pounding away at them between her cleavage.
After a few minutes of continuous pounding, Harry and Noland switched places. Harry now had his cock impaled in Erin's cunt while Noland used his pussy juice-drenching cock to beat on Erin's ample jugs and nipples. He wiped a bit of pre-cum on her nipples before sliding his slick cock between her giant breasts. Noland started riding her chest like a wild bronco, making her big tits flop in her face and against his thighs.
Harry bent Erin's legs against Noland's back, making her feet rest on Noland's shoulders. Noland could smell the stinky aroma from Erin's sweaty socks. Harry lifted himself up onto the couch, bouncing his ass off of Erin's huge ass while fucking her pussy.
"OOHHHHH! This does feel good!" moaned Harry holding the back of Erin's calves as her pussy clamped around his big dick.
They pounded Erin's pussy and tits for another 10 straight minutes causing Erin to cum several times and nearly pass out from the extreme fucking. Harry and Noland both felt their cocks ready to unload. Harry pulled out of Erin's sore cunt while Noland pulled away from Erin's huge sweaty tits. Both Harry and Noland aimed their overflowing cocks at Erin's chest and started blasting massive amounts of cum all over her chest, breasts, and neck. It was like an never ending river of cum that completely drenched Erin's upper torso. The guys even smeared their cock heads against cheeks and lips. Erin engulfed both of their cock heads between her lips and used her tongue to clean the cum off their pee holes.
"You have saved us, Erin. We thank you for relieving out painful erections. Until we meet again," both Noland and Harry said as they disappeared right in front of Erin.
Erin was in shock as the two vanished before her. Sam came out of the bedroom and looked at Erin with a weird look.
"Why didn't you wait for me to get up. If you wanted someone to cum all over your chest, I would have been happy to do it instead of you smearing your own cum on," Samantha said to Erin.
Erin smiled at Samantha and fainted. Samantha walked up to check on her and realized that she was fast asleep, exhausted from the fucking the two space aliens gave her.

Happy Friday to you all from Kalispell, Montana. We awoke to sunshine this morning. It was a lovely day indeed. While having my morning devotions, a verse that I am sure I have read many times stood out.
"Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad." Psalm 105:3b
Does seeking the LORD = gladness of heart? Is it possible that in those times of great unrest, our eyes are not on the LORD? Is there a gladness that can only be found for those who seek after the LORD? I've been mulling this over all day. I'm still mulling.
The rest of the day was spent enjoying the sun. Kacey, Ellie, Ashley, and I strolled main street Kalispell. Yes, the sun was out but I must note . . . I was still wearing my WINTER jacket. Sans the scarf, mittens, and long underwear. Just wanting to make sure you get a clear picture, you know. It was COLD! We had burgers for lunch and stopped in a few little shops. Very, very nice. Then it was back to our place for coffee and treats. And then the sunshine left . . . that would be Kacey and Ellie!!!!!!! They sure do put a smile on my face.
In other news, Steve has been very busy here at the house. In fact, today he went and bought a chain saw. I will get to that in a minute. When we bought this house, it had some very unique lighting styles. We have slowly been changing that unique style. One change was the lights over the kitchen sink. Man, I wish I had the before pictures for you. And maybe the afters are not to your liking either but they work for me. Steve converted what was there to these Edison looking lights. I like his work. Thank you, Steve.
Notice the daffodils. I didn't gather them from outside but from the local Safeway. Just bringing the spring inside!
Now back to Steve's purchase today. The chainsaw. Do you see all these trees on the side of our house? They are no more. Very, very sad news for Ashley and I. But, their roots are not good for the foundation of this house nor the plumbing. Well, OK, then. But still very, very sad.
The lovely staircase will not survive our work on this house either. You see, our home used to be four separate units. This staircase leads up to the current master bathroom. It came in handy while moving the bigger pieces of furniture in but it is not exactly safe. And so we shall say farewell to it as well.
Steve has also put up some chimney caps. You see, we had a critter (we will call him Mr. Squirrel) fall into the opening. I will say that the smells coming out of the fireplace were anything but pleasant. Our dear son-in-law, Jay, did the removal job while we were home in San Diego. Thank you so very much, Jay! He was being cheered on by his lovely assistant, Kacey! And, so that we never have to accomplish that gross task again, Steve put on a lovely chimney cap. Thank you, Steve.
These pictures were taken by a cell phone. That is why they are so fuzzy. Hopefully they help you get an idea of our activities.
Oh boy, I wonder what Saturday will bring. Gladness of heart? I hope that is what I choose.


text: We are booked to play the Roadhouse in Manchester on December 4th (replacing Mark of 1000 Eagles). The night is called FUNF and it is organised by Designer Music Magazine. It costs £5 on the door and it should be a great night. We have been rehearsing at the Cinnamon Club in Bowdon in preperation for this gig and the sound has been good. I'm really looking forward to it.
