Blondie: Mom's Twin Sister (MF,inc)
by Wilcox
One day as we sat at the dinner table my Mother said that she had something
to tell us. I could tell from her expression that she had something big that
she was going to drop on us. "Gang," she started. "I just found out that I
have a sister. Not only that, she's my twin."
We all sat there shocked as she told us that her Mother had finally
confessed the family secret to her. Times were hard and money was tight when
my grandmother had twin girls. They couldn't afford to take on two babies,
so after a lot of talk and counseling and with a bit of heartbreak it was
decided to put one of the babies up for adoption.
Her sister had a hard life; she went on, with two marriages ending in divorce
but luckily no children from either bad marriage. Both men had been abusive
to her and finally after her adopted parents were killed in a car accident
Grandma, her birth mother, decided it was time to step forward with the truth
in order to give her the family support and love she so desperately needed.
Grandma had told her that they'd kept an eye on her since they knew the
family that had taken her in and the shock for Melissa was just as great as
the shock to my Mom when it all came out. "It was time, my mother told me,
and we all met at a restaurant in town," she added.
Then Mom looked at us closely and dropped another bombshell as she went on,
"Anyway she's on her own and ... I've invited her to come and stay with us
until she can get back on her feet. She'll be here tomorrow."
As we stared dumbfounded at her she added, "I hope that it won't be a
problem. After all honey," she said to my Dad. "You're away on business so
much lately and the kids are just about grown and ready to move on with
their lives. We have the room ... she can sleep in the guest bedroom. I'll
be able to get to get to know the sister I've always wanted. Please ... I
want this ... she's my sister ... my twin ... and she needs help."
What could Dad say? Or my sister and I for that matter? She was family we
never knew about, needed a place to stay and Mom wanted to help her in the
worst way. We could see how important it was to her. Dad nodded his head and
Cookie and I did as well to the delight of my Mom.
"Oh thank you guys," she beamed. "You won't regret this. You're going to love
her." At the time I had no idea how right she was.
The next day was a Saturday. Dad was playing golf, Cookie was off with her
friends and Mom was sleeping in. My Mom's sister wasn't due until late
afternoon so we'd all agreed to go on with our plans and be home by then.
Me, I was in my room on my computer when I heard the doorbell. I went down
to open the door and there was my Mom standing outside with a couple of
"Mom why are you ringing the bell," I asked a bit irritated.
Then I heard my Mother's voice say, "I'm not your Mother. I'm her sister
Melissa, you must be Alex. Blondie told me she had a teenaged daughter and
son, but she forgot to mention what a hunk you are."
I couldn't believe it. She looked like Mom, talked like Mom, then it hit me.
Twin sisters ... identical twin sisters. It was uncanny. The face ... the
hair ... the makeup ... the body, then I noticed that she was dressed much
more provocatively then my rather conservative Mother would ever dress.
You see my Mom's 5'4" about 118 lbs., with curly blonde hair and soft blue
eyes. She has a great body with big full tits and a tight firm ass that I'd
been staring at with horny intent for the past few years. Now there she was
standing in the doorway wearing a tight low-cut sundress that showed off most
of her creamy boobs. It was tight through the tummy and hugged her flaring
hips before stopping less than halfway to her knees to show off her great
It was Mom like I'd never seen her, except in my dreams, but it wasn't Mom.
This was going to get very confusing I thought as I stared at Mom's twin
sister's incredible body on full display.
"Put your eyes back in your head honey and let a girl in," she laughed as her
eyes drifted down to my crotch and my stiffening dick. "I can see that you're
happy to see me. I'd call that a warm welcome."
I snapped out of it then. I stepped aside as she passed by me and dropped her
bags on the carpet. Her intoxicating perfume waived behind her as I closed
the door and watched her great little ass undulate into the living room. She
sat on the couch and I joined her as she asked where everyone was. After I
told her she smiled and said, "It looks like we have some time to get better
aquatinted then, doesn't it Alex? Can a girl get a drink around here?"
I couldn't believe it. It was only 8AM and she wanted a drink. I went to the
bar asking what she wanted and she said, "I really need a stiff one Alex."
As that thought and its implication danced in my head I poured a mixed drink
with a double shot in it. She asked me to join her. "It doesn't feel right
drinking alone," she smiled sweetly at me. I decided to go along, she was my
aunt and I didn't want to offend her, so even though Mom and Dad didn't let
me drink in the house I fixed a strong drink for myself.
We sat there talking and soon had consumed three more drinks. I was really
feeling it as I filled Melissa in on the family and what was going on in our
lives. The whole time my eyes were glued to her body and in particular to her
half exposed boobs as they jiggled and wiggled before my eyes. It's as though
Mom was sitting there with me but it wasn't really her, it was her identical
twin sister. Then she rocked my world.
"Alex you seem to have a thing for my tits?" she said softly. "We're hitting
it off so nicely, getting to know each other and all. Let's be realistic
about the situation we find ourselves in here. You're getting all hot and
bothered ... and so am I. I'm going to be staying here and I have ... certain
needs. It goes beyond saying that a horny teenaged boy has needs too. It's
just difficult at your age to fulfill them ... am I right?"
I drunkenly nodded my head, not quite sure where this was leading.
"I thought so," she said. "Would you like to see my tits sweetie?"
I couldn't believe what I'd just heard as I nodded again.
She slowly unbuttoned her dress and pulled the material to the side so that
her incredible breasts were open to my view as I licked my lips. I stared at
the pink nipples that topped her breasts, breasts that despite her age needed
no support, breasts that seemed to quiver all by themselves as if begging to
be sucked.
"You can touch them sweetie ... if you want too," she said in a soft little
It was like looking at my Mother as I stared at her exposed breasts. What
boy doesn't secretly dream of something like this I thought as my hand lifted
towards her until it was cupping her lovely breast with my thumb moving over
her hard nipple. I fondled it gently as she let out a soft moan telling my
how good my hand felt.
Then I bent my head and used my tongue to lick her entire breast before it
circled her nipple just before I closed my mouth over her breast. As I
suckled she moved her hand to the back of my head and pulled me closer. I
looked up and in my mind it was my Mother, not her twin sister as I suckled
at the tit that had nourished my as a baby.
Only I was grown and feeling extremely horny as my hand squeezed her other
breast, its fingers twirling her hardening nipple while I had her other
nipple in my mouth, biting it gently, sucking on it like I did when I was
a baby. She moaned and I felt her body quickly began to respond to my touch.
"Oh that feels so good," she moaned after a few minutes. "You're getting me
all hot and bothered," she went on as she unbuttoned her sundress all the
way down. "I think I'm going to enjoy staying here baby boy. Do you want
too see my pussy too Alex? Move down and give your aunt a welcoming kiss on
the lips."
In my horny drunken condition I didn't have to be asked twice so even though
I didn't want to leave her breasts I began kissing down her belly. I placed
both hands on her breasts as I kissed downward, my tongue slipping into her
navel. I kissed down past her navel and over the slight, sexy bulge on her
lower belly that was just like Mom's.
Her body couldn't seem to wait. She was raising her crotch up to me as I
approached the junction between her thighs. She was wearing a thong and I
pulled it down easily with her butt lifted as it was to expose her beautiful
little pussy. My tongue slipped out and licked down along the side of her
well-trimmed pubic hair traveling towards the tip of her crotch.
It slipped down the inside crease of her leg and she spread her legs wider in
anticipation. I ran my tongue over her pussy and licked up her labia. Mom's
or was it Melissa's baby blue eyes opened wide and her pussy spasmed under my
tongue as I looked up at her.
I wiggled my tongue in and out of the folds of her pussy lips, causing her
to shake with pleasure and I could sense that something intense was building
deep in her body. I lapped her slit several times and then worked a finger
into her. I'd gotten this far before with some of the girls from high school
so I knew what it was doing.
I worked it deep inside her and began rubbing the tip around a spot deep in
her pussy. She began humping my finger as I felt the intense feelings grow
within her as she moaned that she thought she was going to die from pleasure.
Then I ran my tongue over my finger and up her pussy. With one quick lick, my
tongue twirled around her clit.
As my tongue touched her clit, her pussy clamped down around my finger and
then ballooned up as she came. It felt like a series of bombs went off in her
pussy and she screamed in pleasure. I wasn't done yet though. I continued
fingering her and licking around her clit until it hardened like a miniature
She had several smaller orgasms before the pressure built again and an even
bigger orgasm overwhelmed her when I sucked her clit in my mouth. I stayed
there between her legs lapping up her juices as she came down and slowly
looked down at my cum soaked face grinning up at her.
"My God honey," she said breathlessly. "That's the best tonguing I've ever
felt. You're a wonder that's for sure, not only a hunk but a stud as well.
I can tell that we're going to be really good friends Alex. Now get up here
beside me."
I followed her instructions and quickly found her kissing me with a passion
I'd never felt in a girl before. She seemed to like the taste of her pussy
juices as we kissed with her tongue deep in my mouth. Then she pulled away
and said, "I showed you mine, now it's your turn to show me yours. Come to
Mommy, you sweet boy."
She told me to stand and when I did she pulled my sweatpants down. I wasn't
wearing underwear and my dick popped out right in her face. So there I stood
in my nakedness before my Mom or was it her sister? I was drunk and the
reality was blurred for me. Her hands reached to my thighs, caressing from
my knee to my hip. Her mouth opened slightly, her tongue wetting her lips as
she looked at my big dick with a lustful gleam in her eyes.
In the last year I'd been growing like a beanstalk and was now well over the
six-foot mark. I was starting to fill out but not just with muscle. My cock
had somehow developed into a fat slug almost overnight, and that was when it
was soft. Fully erect my hand could just encompass its circumference and I'd
measured its length and found to my amazement that it had grown to be just
over 11 inches.
Now I was standing there with my dick out in front of the aunt I never knew
I had. In my horny drunken condition it looked like it was my Mom who was
pulling me forward, her hand stroking my rock hard cock. "It's so beautiful,"
she whispered. "And so big. I've never seen one this size and I've seen more
than my share of dicks." Her hand lifted my cock, her fingers wrapping gently
around the girth of my shaft. As her fingers and thumb tightened, she slid
them slowly up my cock and then back down.
I watched her lean in to me, her mouth opening, her tongue extending to
touch my cockhead. Her tongue swirled over it and my hips thrust forward
involuntarily. Her lips touched and kissed it as I stood there transfixed
by the sight. She opened her lips and sucked the head of my cock into her
mouth as she tugged on my cock. She stuffed more into her mouth, her lips
sliding down my shaft, coating it with her saliva as I felt her incredible
tongue working over the thick vein on the underside. Her hand pumped my
shaft up and down as her mouth hungrily sucked about half of my cock into
her mouth.
I reached to her head, pulling her down against me. My cock pushed deeper
into her mouth and I felt myself enter her throat. She groaned from deep
within then pulled back, her tongue doing magic to my throbbing cock. She
looked up at me as she went down on me again. She ground her mouth over
my dick, forcing every inch into her face, mouth, and down her throat.
Her other hand reached around my hip, firmly grabbing my ass, pulling me
forward roughly, her nails biting, stinging my flesh. I thrust my hips
against her face and felt my pubic hair being nuzzled by her nose.
"God it feels so good," I whispered looking down into her eyes. "Suck me
Mommy!" I continued as she left me have control. I started soft, but forceful
thrusts against her face, withdrawing to thrust again. She sucked hard. Her
mouth, her lips formed a vacuum, her tongue lancing out, pressing against the
underside of my cock.
She took over then and I was on the ride of a lifetime. She humped my cock,
building speed, first softly, then with more lust, more abandon. Soon, she
attacked my cock, assaulted my flesh, driving every inch repeatedly deep
into her face. Her hands pumped my shaft, reached to milk my balls, pulling
them down, swirling them, and squeezing them between her fingers. And always
driving her face back down on me. I could hear her throat make noises, her
jaw stretching to take all of me.
Then she slowed down and kept just the head in her mouth as I gasped in total
pleasure. She slurped loudly, drove her tongue into the eye of my cock then
swirled it around the head, sucking hard as she pumped my shaft.
"Mmmmm," she growled. "You taste so good Alex," she said as she took a split
second breather. "I can taste your precum sweetie," she grunted as she drove
her face back down on me.
I slammed my hips forward, impaling her face on my shaft. Her mouth stretched
wide and her full pouty lips wrapped around my massive cock looked absolutely
incredible. I moved the hair back from her face. I wanted to watch my cock
slide between my Mother's lips, penetrating her mouth as she sucked me off.
In my eye it was my Mom, not her twin sister who was giving me the best head
of my young life.
My girlfriend's who'd done it were inexperienced and it was good believe me.
But I had a Class A cocksucker working on me now and it was almost more than
I could take. Especially because she was my Mother's identical twin sister.
Her technique was mind blowing and she really enjoyed her work as she milked
me for my cum.
I leaned over, sliding my hand down and found a full melon tit. I lovingly
massaged it, fondling the fleshy mound as I tweaked her nipple between two
fingertips. She groaned louder in approval as she sucked my cock deep. She
started sucking my cock like a demon possessed. She bobbed her head hard on
my cock, building speed and urgency with each thrust.
I arched my hips to her face. I pulled her by the back of the head, slamming
my cock deep down her throat. I knew that it wouldn't be long before she
sucked my load up out of my balls. Her mouth and throat expanded, taking me
completely. Lifting my balls, She rolled them against her cheek as she sucked
me deep.
She was massaging my pubes, rolling my balls over the softness of her
cheek. Her tongue pressed against the inside of her cheek, poking at my
balls. Saliva drooled from her lips coating my balls as well as my cock.
Eyes closed, she sucked deeply, drawing my cum from inside my body.
My orgasm approached. My breathing grew very ragged. I held my breath. My
body grew tense. Eyes shut tightly, all focus directed to my cock and balls,
my brain, body, and soul exploded. My balls erupted, flooding my shaft with
cum, forcing spurt after spurt into my shaft. My shaft muscles squeezed,
propelling my cum up my long cock, to blast forth from my shaft into her
hungry mouth and throat. As I exploded in orgasm, she groaned.
So deep, so guttural was her groan it shook my very core. She attached my
cock with total abandon as she tasted my cum, groaning with each spurt,
hammering her face deep onto my cock. Her cheeks sucked in as she pulled
up my cock, drawing each spurt forth, sucking hard to capture each
ejaculation. Her lips smacked, her tongue darted out to lick my cock head,
and she attacked again, driving her face forward, inhaling my cock.
My orgasm had my body twitching in mini thrusts against her face. My toes
went numb. I couldn't think. I could only focus on the feelings generated
by cumming. Cumming in my Mom's mouth. Looking down it was Mom sucking me
off, drawing my cum out of my cock, swallowing me deeply as I filled her
mouth repeatedly.
Then as my orgasm subsided, my knees grew weak. My knees bent slightly, I
thrust upwards again, driving my deflating cock back into her face, between
her lips. I groaned in unison with her. "Oh fuck! Oh fuck!" repeatedly
escaped my lips. My self being flowed into her as she drained me of more
than my fluids. Gently, I pushed her off my deflating cock.
I groaned deeply. Once more, my hips thrust forward, my cock jumping into her
face. She grabbed me, her lips quickly surrounding my cock, and instantly,
she buried it deep into her mouth and throat again. I shuddered, grinding my
hips against her face. I humped several shallow humps, pulling my cock almost
out of her mouth, her head bending forward to hold it, and thrust forward
again to impale my softening cock back into her mouth. With each thrust, I
grunted, my breath escaping me. I shivered.
"Jesus Christ," I whispered as she finally pulled off my deflated cock. I
fell on the couch beside her and we hugged and kissed in near exhaustion. It
was my turn to taste my sex juices from her mouth as our tongues played with
each other.
Then reality returned as we heard a door open up stairs. "Shit, it's Mom
getting up," I said in fright at getting caught with my new aunt in such a
compromising position.
Melissa smiled as she pulled away, "Where's the bathroom sweetie. I need to
clean up and get presentable before your Mom comes down? So do you. Use the
kitchen to wash that incredible dick of yours, then open some windows to air
out the room. It probably smells like a bordello in here ... and remember
sweetie, what just happened is our little secret right. Keep it that way and
we'll have lots more fun."
I pointed the way and was relieved to hear Mom go into the upstairs bathroom.
I cleaned up, opened windows and sprayed air freshener. Then I sprayed the
couch with Fabreeze to eliminate to odor of our sex juices. By the time we
could hear her feet on the stairs everything appeared normal. Melissa was in
a chair and I was on the couch as we talked.
Mom called, "Alex, who are you talking to? I thought your Dad and sister had
"They're out Mom," I called back. "I'm talking with my new Aunt Melissa. She
came early."
We both smiled at my inside joke as Mom ran the rest of the way and the two
women embraced. It was like there was a mirror there. They were identical
in every way. It was incredible, I thought as I looked at them together. I
literally had two Moms'. One my sweet innocent birth Mother, my good Mom.
The other her identical twin sister, my sexy very naughty bad girl Mom.
I carried Melissa's bags up to the guestroom and left them alone downstairs
as I went back to the computer in my room. I came down later to the call of
lunch is ready. I found them sitting at the kitchen table and the only way
I could tell them apart was by they're clothes.
I sat and started to devour my sandwich, then I grinned as Melissa said, "My
word, Blondie. Just look at this boy eat. He must have worked up quite an
appetite working out this morning. It's good to see a big strong teenager
with strong appetites. I wish I had one of my own. Do you mind if I steal
him for myself?"
Mom laughed, "Go right ahead. I'm sure Alex wouldn't mind the extra
attention. Would you honey?"
I blushed in embarrassment. "No, if that's what you want. I guess it'll be
OK," I said looking down at my plate, not wanting Mom to see my smile at
knowing the true meaning to the words that were just spoken.
I finished and went back up to my room and stayed there until Dad and Cookie
came home. I could hear them downstairs talking and laughing, but I was
afraid to join them because my dick kept getting hard whenever I thought of
Melissa and the promise of things to come with her. We had dinner and I
excused myself shortly after, saying I was tired and needed some extra rest.
I saw Melissa smile at that and tried to control my dick as I left the room.
I stayed on the computer until I heard everyone come up and go into his or
her rooms. I was lying in bed stroking my dick when I heard my Mom tell her
sister good night. I lay there in anticipation and around 1AM I saw my door
slowly open and then close as a shadowy figure entered.
The room was almost dark, with only the soft glow of a nightlight. She went
to the windows and pulled the drapes open so that a soft glow of moonlight
illuminated the room and allowed me to see her clearly as she approached the
"Hi sweetie," she said softly. "I couldn't sleep thinking about you and your
big cock in her all alone."
She removed her robe and lowered her naked body onto the bed next to me. I
kissed her and she answered passionately as her desire pushed against me. My
tongue was in her mouth and she used her own to give me the deepest, sexiest
kiss of my life.
I broke off the passionate kiss and spent several minutes perusing her
incredible tits, fondling and squeezing the firm fleshy mounds and spiky
nipples. I kissed and sucked both nipples as she moaned in delight, "Oh
baby that feels so nice."
Then I slipped down her ripe body and tasted her sweet little cunt. Her
clitoris was up hard as I twirled my tongue around it and feasted on her
flowing juices. 'MMMM,' I thought as I ate my mom's twin sister out, 'her
tight little cunt was so beautiful, so succulent.' I was feeling so horny
that I slid my tongue up and down her hot crack as I alternated between her
sweet pussy and tiny puckered anus. My tongue was digging deeply up her tiny
asshole as her tingling body gave in to my every demand.
I couldn't wait any longer. I lifted up between her wide spread legs and
stroked my cock to its full 11-inch length. Then lifting Melissa's legs up
onto my shoulders, I slid my long thick pulsating cock up and down the full
length of her wet, swollen blonde-fringed slit. She blinked her eyes several
times; trying to focus on my plum sized cockhead in the soft light as it slid
through the slick entrance to her womanhood, becoming coated with her flowing
I looked down at her and saw my beautiful Mom under me with my dick poised to
enter her juicy slit. She let out a low moan and closed her eyes as she felt
the wide head of my cock slip between her pussy lips. Her pussy was wet and
throbbing as my cock entered and it felt as though her pussy was pulling my
cock in deeper and deeper.
She gasped and sighed as I began to push it in and out of her, going deeper
into her with every stroke. "Ohhh, .. G-G-Godddd .. soooooo .. biggggg ..
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she moaned loudly as my thick cockhead forced its way into
her and even though she'd been married twice it was surprisingly tight.
I began to pump my cock slowly in and out of her wet pussy as it stretched to
accommodate my thickness. Our lips met and we began to kiss as I continued to
fuck into her deeper and deeper. Her incredibly tight cuntal sheath stretched
around my thick dick like a glove a size to small and I continued to push
myself forward until I'd buried my 11 inch dick into her well lubed vagina to
the hilt. I felt the tip of my cock hitting her cervix as my heavy balls
slapped against her upturned little ass.
I was buried to the hilt and thought that I'd returned to the place of my
birth as I looked down at her. I watched as her eyes popped open at the deep
intrusion of my 11 thick inches to her and I stayed still, savoring the feel
of her glove tight cunt wrapped around my throbbing prick.
After a minute or so she began to move under me. Soon she was beside herself,
horny beyond belief and was milking my fully embedded member with her
spasming cuntal canal as she slowly rolled her hips. I began a slow steady
pump and she matched my motion perfectly as she pushed up to meet my long
deep thrusts into her sweet little cunt.
She moaned about how big I was and how nothing as big as my cock had ever
entered her cunt before. Pussy juice covered my cock and leaked from her cunt
as I fucked her, pounding into her, plunging deeply into her cunt with long
steady strokes. She gasped and whimpered as my balls slapped against her ass
Her sopping wet cunt began to loudly slurp and squish with each pile-driving
invasion of my massive cock into her overstuffed little quim and the
bedsprings were groaning in protest. Thank God, my room was at the end of
the hall, I thought. My parents were across the hallway and the guestroom
was between my sister's room and mine. Otherwise, with a common wall we
might wake someone up as we fucked away like a couple of animals. This
wasn't lovemaking; it was hot raw loud fucking.
She strained upward, her feet pointing to the ceiling and her toes curling
from the sensations. My assault was merciless as I ravaged my lookalike mom
the way I'd been dreaming of doing for oh so long. I leaned forward and laid
over her, pinning her knees back to her shoulders and fucked for all I was
worth. I pumped her glove tight little pussy for a good thirty minutes,
ramming her as hard and deep as I could, making her juicy cunt squish loudly
with every balls deep thrust as I slammed home repeatedly.
I'd read about male and female sexual peaks and I knew that Melissa and I
were both at ours. Teenaged guys and older woman, I hadn't really believed
it when we read it in health class, but here Melissa and I were proving it
on my straining bed which creaked as never before. Orgasm after orgasm shook
her convulsing body as I fucked her brains out. I was consumed with a
newfound power and strength as she hunched her lush ripe body up and down
on my mighty shaft.
I sighed, dropped her long sexy legs off of my shoulders and leaned down on
top of her. I was pushing into her to the hilt, loving the sounds of her
moans as she wrapped her arms around me. Time after time her arms embraced
my broad shoulders while her feet drummed upon my pumping ass. Her hands
moved to my ass and pulled me towards her in sync with every thrust. She was
using her muscles in her vagina to massage the entire shaft of my manhood.
Her juice was oozing out of her pussy even though my thick cock had filled
up her cunt.
My hands crawled up over her hot sweaty body to her big full 38D tits as I
fucked her hard and deep. Her nipples were big and hard and as I started to
play with them she moaned and said, "uummmm that feels so good baby, suck
on mommy's nipples you bad bad boy." Damn, she's into the role-play too, I
thought as I pumped her harder.
When I leaned down and took one of her nipples into my mouth and began to
suck it, she moaned even louder. I could feel her pussy contracting around
my cock harder and harder. I knew it felt big to her, because she whispered,
"Your such a big boy, I love how you fuck me with your long thick cock baby."
Hearing her say this drove me wild and I knew I couldn't hold back much
longer so I started to fuck her harder. With every stroke, I made sure I
pulled all the way out, then shoved it back in as fast and as hard as I
could. I felt the tip of my long thick cock pounding on the entrance of
her cervix. I had her spread wide open and my big prick was stretching
her like she'd never been stretched before as it embedded itself fully
again and again.
I reached down with my hands and started playing with her sexy ass. With her
pussy juice running down the crack of her ass, I circled her tiny anus with
my finger for a while as her breathing became louder. She gasped and I saw
her eyes became wide opened when I pushed my finger up her tiny asshole.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhh that's it, play with my ass while you fuck me ... fuck
mommy hard, mommy wants her big boy's cum," she cried out loud.
Now having both holes jammed I picked up the pace and I could feel her cunt
muscles twitching with my fingers through the thin wall between her pussy and
her rectum as I fucked her. She could feel my cock enlarging inside of her
and she knew I was about to explode. She began to wiggle her pussy up and
down as I fucked her. I began to moan as I grew closer and closer to letting
She shoved her hips up to meet mine as we raced to orgasm. She twisted and
gyrated in circles on my drilling cock. I hammered her wildly, setting off
multiple orgams in my hot little lookalike mother. Sweat covered her
luscious body as she worked her spasming cunt on my hard charging cock.
She came over and over. She yelled and screamed as she climaxed endlessly.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh, ... G-G-G-Godddd ... G-G-GGoddddddd ... ohhhhhhh ...!"
Her body was wracked with tremors as she peaked again and again. "OH Yes do
it babe, squirt your hot cum in mommy's pussy," she yelled as I felt her push
a finger deep up my ass.
That drove me off the cliff and with one last thrust I shot my load deep
inside her. She started bucking hard against my cock as she felt my hot cum
squirting inside of her, filling her cunt with a heavy load. Then as I lay
there with my cock deep inside her pussy, I felt her pussy tighten hard
around my cock.
"OHHHH GODDDD, your making me CUMMMM again sweetie, your making my pussy
squirt" she screamed out in pleasure. Melissa fucked me like a whore as her
pussy milked me for every drop of my sperm. When she'd drained out the last
of my load I fell on top of her gasping for air.
Needless to say, it was the best fuck of my life. The hell with teenaged
girls, I promised myself. From now on I was fucking experienced pussy. My
mom's twin sister's pussy as we took care of each other's needs. In no
time I was again hard and ready for action as she twitched and jerked in
the aftermath of her orgasms with my dick buried inside her.
I rolled over onto my back and pulled her with me so that she was now on top
as I began to push up into her. She moved her knees up and began to bounce
her ass up and down as she rotated her hips in little circles. "My God," she
moaned. "Again ... and so soon. Your going to wear me out baby."
She lifted up and her small pink nailed hands rested on my chest as she slid
up and down my full length and stared into my eyes. I loved the sight of my
sexy lookalike mother riding me, her body glistening with sweat, forcing
herself down around my long thick dick. Her pussy felt tight and wet around
my manhood and I moaned as I thrust my hips upward slightly gripping her hips
in my hands.
She arched her back, grinding her clit into my pelvis. With her arms
together, as her hands lay on my chest, her large tits stuck out from her
body proudly while she slowly rose up and down a few inches at a time.
"Oh ... oh ... oh ... y-yes ... oh god!" she moaned.
I reached around and groped her soft ass, kneading the flesh in my hands.
"You feel so good," I told her as I brought my hands up, caressing her
stomach before cupping her large tits in my hands. Teasing her nipples
with my thumbs, I began to thrust upward faster, relishing the tight wet
heat inside of her. Eagerly I reached up and caught one of her nipples in
my mouth. I sealed her nipple with my lips as I swirled my tongue around
the hard tip.
Releasing her wet nipple I looked up into my mothers bright blue eyes as she
flung her wet hair over her shoulders, and began to moan and scream again,
"Oh ... F-Fuck mommy! Your such ... ugh ... a g-good boy ... Oh ... AAAA!"
I smiled up at my mother's beautiful face looking down between her luscious
wildly jiggling breasts as I hammered up into her with enough force to cause
my heavy balls to slap against her ass.
"AAAAAAEEEEEEEE!!!" she screamed as she lowered her head onto my shoulder.
Her nipples rubbed into my chest as her hips and ass jiggled with each
powerful thrust. She brought her face around, nuzzling my neck, before
grazing my lips with hers. Melissa's moist lips pressed urgently against
mine as her tongue darted into my mouth. "Mmmmmfffff." She moaned around
the kiss.
I slowed down and returned the kiss, before returning to my relentless
pounding. My hands moved up to caress the smooth skin of her ass and lower
back as our tongues danced together for several more minutes. Then I pulled
out, rolled her over and lifted her sexy little ass up high.
Her full ripe tits jiggled and flopped about wildly under her as I parted
Melissa's perfect ass and saw her tiny tightly clenched anus. I laid my long
thick cock in the crack of her gorgeous ass and slowly slid it through her
full sexy buns.
"Mommy," I said, "I want to fuck your tight little asshole now. Tell me you
want me to fuck you up the ass ... Mommy."
She knew what I wanted her say. "Yes. Please...," she said in my Mother's
voice, "Fuck Mommy's ass, I want you to fuck me up the ass ... you nasty
boy ... you nasty motherfucker."
I placed my cock at the tiny puckered entrance to her tight little asshole
and caved in her rear passage. My cock was slick and lubricated and I forced
it in deep past her spincter, stretching her tight anal passage taunt around
my big cock. She unconsciously clenched her ass tight but her anal muscles
soon relaxed and permitted me to enter.
She grimaced as my huge cock split her wide open. "Take it easy Alex," she
moaned. "I've never taken one so big back there."
She shut her eyes and gritted her teeth as she got used to being fucked up
the ass with a really big dick. Her rectum was stretching open as I shoved
forward and buried my whole cock into her tightly clenching asshole. She had
all 11 long thick inches to the hilt up her ass as I came to a stop with my
heavy sperm laded balls slapping loudly against her firm little buns.
I held myself in place; my hands locked onto Melissa's flaring hips as I let
her adjust. I knew that I had to take it easy at first and let her get used
to my dick up her butt. Sure enough, after a couple of minutes my cock was
sliding in and out of her glove tight anus easily as she rolled her hips and
pushed back into me.
"OH baby YESSSSSSSS ... that's it ... fuck Mommy's hot little ass," she
moaned. "Come on you motherfucker ... give it to me ... OHHHHHHHH ... your
big cock feels so fucking good in my ass."
She continued to cry out, lurching and jerking as I ram fucked her up the ass
furiously, hammering my hips at her buttocks, reaming my big cock deep into
her ass. She exploded in orgasm, her fingers gripping at the sheets in a vise
like grip as I pounded into her. Reaching around her curvaceous body, I
brought my hands to her chest and cupped her tits in my hands. The stiff
nipples rubbed against my palms as the flesh overflowed between my fingers.
Several minutes later Melissa whimpered and cried out as I rammed my big dick
up her tight little asshole to the hilt and my balls finally released a huge
load of cum. I flooded my Mom's twin's cock stuffed little asshole and she
moaned loudly in pleasure as my hot load sprayed deep up her ass. I bucked my
hips against her buns until every drop was gone, then I collapsed onto her,
our naked, sweaty bodies clinging to one another.
After a few minutes of savoring the feel of her twitching anus milking my
softening cock I backed off of her, my big dick pulling out of her tiny ass
with a loud plop. I rolled over besides her, saying nothing for the longest
while as we lay beside each other on the bed.
Finally, she spoke. "Oh baby, that was incredible ... you're quite the stud?
God ... I'm going to love it here with you?"
I watched as what looked like my mom leaned forward and took my gooey dick
into her mouth. She expertly sucked me off, cleaning off every gooey drop
of our mating until my big dick was shiny clean. She moved back beside me
and smiled sweetly. "You can't tell anyone what we're doing. It'll be just
between us sweetie, OK."
I just smiled as I took my Mother's twin sister into my arms and gave her a
big kiss with lots of tongue as I fondled her sexy body. It was a wonderful
feeling knowing that I had made her have all those powerful orgasms. We lay
there together catching our breath. Then she got up and left the room,
leaving me there alone on the bed. For the rest of her stay with us we
continued to satisfy each other as often as we could.

Studying in the U.S.
How your experience at Columbia University may differ from higher education in your home country.
Your experience at Columbia may differ from attending university in your home country. Even if our terminology is different, there is much you will find familiar.

Educational Degrees in the U.S.
In the U.S., there are three main types of degrees, which are obtained in the following order:
Traditionally, students between the ages of 17 and 22 who have just graduated from high school pursue a B.A. (bachelor of arts), a B.S. (bachelor of science), or a B.F.A. (bachelor of fine arts) degree. Usually a bachelor's degree focuses on the liberal arts or applied sciences and takes a minimum of four years to complete. Unlike many other parts of the world, U.S. institutions do not administer a bachelor's degree in law.
Master's degrees are for students who have already completed their bachelor's. Master's degrees require mastery of a specific field of study and usually take from one to three years, depending on the coursework and requirements for research and writing.
Doctoral degrees usually require one to two years of coursework beyond the master's degree, and two to five more years for research and a dissertation in the field of study.
- Bachelor's or Undergraduate Degree
- Master's or Graduate Degree
- Ph.D. or Doctoral Degree
What Columbia Offers
Columbia offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. It also offers non-degree programs and study of English as a second language through the American Language Program (ALP). We have four undergraduate schools offering bachelor's degrees and 16 schools offering a combination of master's and doctoral degrees.
The youngest school at Columbia, the School of Professional Studies was established in 2002 to focus on emerging professions. It is one of Columbia's 16 schools accredited under the Arts and Sciences and resides on the historic Morningside Heights campus. Unlike other schools of continuing education in the United States, we offer a combination of degrees as well as individual courses, all of which graded and credit bearing.
We offer three main areas of study:
We offer admission into 12 master's degree programs, most of which are appropriate for international students.
These are short-term, non-degree study opportunities for currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students as well as adults who have earned a bachelor's degree or graduate degree and are preparing to change careers or pursue an advanced degree in a new discipline.
The ALP is for students and professionals who want to improve their spoken and written English.
- Master's degree programs
- Postbaccalaureate programs
- Visiting Students Program. This is ideal for current undergraduate or graduate students who would like to study at Columbia for a 6- or 12-week summer session, one semester, or one full academic year. As a visiting student, you may choose from among thousands of undergraduate- and graduate-level University courses in more than 100 subject areas.
- Certificates and certifications of professional achievement (CPAs). Certificates offer a focused form of advanced study that can be as intensive as a degree program. They are appropriate for graduate school preparation and career advancement. Advanced certificates can lead to gainful employment without the need to complete a full degree program. Offering introductory study that is less intensive than a certificate, CPAs can be an ideal entry point to pursuing a subject of interest or for career development or advancement.
- Graduate School Preparation. Our Graduate Foundations program lets you build your own course of study to prepare for a master's degree or a Ph.D.
- English as a Second Language
The School of Professional Studies offers programs throughout the calendar year. We divide our academic year into semesters and sessions.
|Fall Semester
|Spring Semester
|Summer Session 1 (D)
|Summer Session 2 (Q)
A semester or summer session will be comprised of many assignments. Generally you will have midterm and final exams. A midterm, which is an important exam taken halfway through the semester, is often worth a large percentage of the grade for the course. You will most likely also have a final exam or project as well as class assignments and homework. All courses are graded and credit bearing. You will be taking courses with Columbia undergraduate and graduate students.
Courses generally meet any time of day from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., generally two days a week following a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday schedule. Undergraduate courses are required to have 45 contact hours with an expectation of two hours of coursework (some combination of homework, independent study, and assignments) for every hour of instruction.
Graduate-level courses generally meet one day a week and meet for 28 contact hours with an expectation of two hours of homework, independent study, and assignments for every one hour of instruction.
All professors set aside weekly office hours to meet and work with students who have questions or need additional help. Many courses also have a Teaching Assistant who will also assist students with coursework.
Courses generally fall into one of two formats: seminar and lecture. Seminars typically have fewer than 20 students while lecture style courses can have as many as 150 students.
The Point System
Columbia awards academic credit on a point system. Most courses equal three points or credits. You are considered a full-time student — a status you need to qualify for a student visa — if you are registered for at least 12 points or about 4 courses per semester. You must complete a minimum of 36 points (about 12 courses) to earn a master's degree and a minimum of 12 points (about 4 courses) to earn a certificate or a certification of professional achievement. (The precise point totals required to complete a master's degree, certificate, or certification of professional achievement vary by program.) Generally students take 12 points per term. Taking more than 12 points should only be done in consultation with an academic advisor. 18 points is the maximum allowed per term. Note that at the School of Professional Studies, tuition is based on the number of points taken.
Class Participation
Many professors include class participation as part of your final grade. The smaller the class, the more important your participation will be. In the U.S., questioning or challenging the professor is viewed as a healthy sign of interest, attention, and independent thinking – as long as it is done within a context of mutual respect and academic discourse. If you are uncomfortable speaking in class, you might write down your thoughts or questions about the assigned readings and bring them with you to class so you have prepared statements to share. Some classes require participation in online discussions in addition to the in-class conversations. (This text has been adapted from the ISSO's Coming to Columbia.)
Attendance and Grading
Professors state their attendance and grading policy when the course begins. Class attendance is generally required. Typically, you are graded on every assignment, including homework and unscheduled quizzes. You may also be graded on class participation. You must keep up with the reading and assignments listed in the syllabus throughout the semester and maintain a minimum C (2.0) Grade Point Average (GPA). Your GPA is computed on the following scale:
|Poor (But Passing)
If you are transferring credits to your home institution, please consult with your university about requirements for credit transfer.
Academic Integrity
Columbia takes academic integrity very seriously. Violations of academic integrity standards can result in expulsion from the University. One common infraction is plagiarism (representing another person's work as your own) and cheating on exams or homework.

They took advantage of the Indian Summer like weather we experienced in the middle of November.
Usually at this time of year we are seeing more than nine inches of snow – not kyakers paddling on the Oswego River.

The infinite beauty created over thirty centuries of history has instilled in the character of the Italian people an inexhaustible capacity to give life to things that evoke admiration, emotion and wonder in those who see them.
In Italy today the artistic heritage handed down from past generations coexists happily – and blends magically - with a legacy of contemporary beauty consisting mainly of industrial products, which are particularly numerous in certain sectors (e.g. fashion and design), but featuring also creations of a strictly artistic nature.
Due to the gradual impoverishment of the public sector and the simultaneous dwindling of private fortunes, in the years to come an enormous amount of this heritage is destined to be 'released' and sold off to foreign buyers. In Europe, America and Asia, in fact, there are wealth segments, both public and private, that regard beauty as an intrinsic part of the Italian identity, and today these beauty-lovers are coming to Italy in disorderly hoards and relentlessly taking away things that we Italians, perhaps out of some obscure form of jealous nostalgia, would rather remained rooted in our land forever.
The entrepreneurial initiative 'Cose Belle d'Italia' aims to intercept, albeit minimally, this flood of opportunity. The purpose of the project, in fact, is to channel financial resources to the acquisition, preservation, and valorisation of carefully selected products and specialities which, for the fact of being Italian and bearing the mark of Italian history, geography, culture, tradition and genius, are clearly recognised in any international context as beautiful, and therefore timeless, since they express values that are eternal. Motivated by the fact that such an incalculably large heritage exists in a country that appears to be incapable of safeguarding and valorising it, an investment programme was set up for purchasing Italy's 'beautiful things' with a threefold goal. The initiative, in fact, aimed to create profit for investors, to valorise the assets themselves along with their Italian character and, therefore, the country of Italy, and, last but not least, to favour the personal gratification, of an ethical and cultural nature, of all those involved, in a context of regained national pride, unobtrusive but nevertheless real.

Interest rate hike: 4 ways Canadians should prepare
Paying down debt should be the focus
The Bank of Canada is expected at some point in the year to hike interest rates, and even a small and gradual hike would affect millions of Canadians with car loans, mortgages and lines of credit.
"Definitely not going to take much of a hike to make a difference and impact your payments," says Toronto-based financial planner Jason Heath. "As soon as there's a quarter-point increase in interest rates, I think it's going to have an immediate impact on people's psychology."
- Get ready for interest rate shock in 2015
- Debt: How to use it and not abuse it
- Stephen Poloz says up to 30% overvalued housing big risk to economy
- Stephen Poloz says low interest rates may be here to stay
A Canadian increase would likely follow an American rise in the rates and may not come until the third quarter. But by the end of the year, Canadians could be facing a 1.5 per cent benchmark rate (it's currently at 1.0 per cent) and higher borrowing costs.
1. Pay down debt
Some consumers may be tempted to make large purchases before the rates go up, but analysts advise against that, saying consumers should instead focus on paying down debt first.
"I find that there's a feeling that because interest rates are low, you shouldn't pay down the debt — what's the point, what's the rush? But now may be an opportunity to focus more aggressively on debt repayment while interest rates are low," Heath says.
"If you make a lump sum payment against a mortgage or a line of credit, that's going directly to your principal and reducing the interest you're going to pay in the future when rates do rise."
Although people may be tempted to pay down mortgage debt first, they should instead focus on department store or credit card debt where interest rates are much higher and unlikely to be affected by the Bank of Canada interest rate hike.
2. Lock in mortgage or line of credit rates
Common advice, says Ian Lee, assistant professor at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business, is that those who have a floating-rate mortgage or floating-rate loan should lock in with a fixed interest rate. But the downside, he noted, is having a fixed payment, meaning the principal and interest must be paid back over a specified time, unlike, for example, a home equity line of credit.
"But the question was how will you save more money, and the answer is: lock in your debts," Lee said. "If you have a variable rate mortgage, switch to a closed rate mortgage and lock it in for as long a term as possible, because once those rates start going up, we're never going to see them again."
3. Don't rush to buy a home
Higher interest rates could also lead to a correction in the housing market.
"The big issue as far as I can see is that people panic and think they have to get into the housing market before interest rates climb. But they have to recognize the overall long-term impact of interest rates actually climbing," says Laurie Campbell, CEO of Credit Canada Debt Solutions.
Homebuyers who rush out to purchase homes to beat a spike in rates could end up with homes dropping in value.
"I think people have to be vigilant about any big purchases they may be making in the next little while. Housing in particular," Heath says. "If someone is considering purchasing a house, they have to really look at more normal interest rates during their budgeting."
4. Sell the house?
Some Canadians have financially overextended themselves in their homes, leaving them barely any wiggle room in the event of an interest rate increase, says Chad Viminitz, an Edmonton-based financial planner and author of Money Assassins.
"To really put themselves in a good financial position, saving a cup of coffee or doing all those things you hear about, is really not going to help," said Viminitz.
"Because when you already have everything built into your house and into your vehicle and you get a one per cent change in interest rates? Well, a one per cent change on 50 per cent of your spending — you're in a really really difficult position."
And it's a development that could force homeowners to make some difficult decisions, he says.
"If someone has the courage and that long-term view, and if they just bought a house in the last couple of years and they are really worried about interest rates going up, it may also be the right time to sell and to downsize to something that is more affordable," Viminitz suggests.
"And that' s difficult. But we do come across a few people who said, 'I need to make a change, because I can't afford this, and saving money on coffee is not going to do this.'"

Woohoo! Swords of the Four Winds print edition is now up on Amazon CreateSpace! To order a print copy please visit https://www.createspace.com/4545528. If you prefer to order through Amazon.com, the link there should be up by next week. Thanks!
I spent most of yesterday afternoon trying to come up with my back-cover blurb. I've always been bad at tooting my own horn, but finally I think I cobbled one together that sums up what SOFW is about:
"Five desperate warrior heroes swash and buckle and slay across the exotic landscapes of an original, Asian-inspired setting in eleven novella-length tales. From serpent-goddess temples in the jungle lands to the snowy peaks and hidden valleys of the Drokpa Mountains, Swords of the Four Winds delivers rousing sword and sorcery adventures in the classic vein, rife with cruel schemes, betrayals, grisly magic, and swift, savage swordplay."
And, oh yeah, this marketing noob forgot to mention: two of the stories in this anthology are based in the Hari Ragat setting!

International Week of the Deaf.
Deaf Zimbabwe Trust joins the global Deaf community in commemorating the International Week of the Deaf running from the 19th to the 25th of September under the theme "With Sign Language, I am equal".The theme draws attention to Sign Language as a vehicle through which the Deaf can fully participate as citizens equal to all. This year's commemoration comes at a time when Sign Language is increasingly taking centre stage in Deaf issues globally. Most notable is the move by the Deaf community in South Africa to take to the streets in peaceful protest to have Sign Language recognised as one of South Africa's official languages.
Deaf Zimbabwe Trust encourages the government of Zimbabwe to enact a Sign Language law that will ensure that Deaf people have access to Sign Language interpreters in health care facilities, schools, police stations, the courts, the registrar's office and all public offices to allow Deaf people equal access to these services with the same ease as hearing persons. Access to services and opportunities through the use of Sign Language will render the Deaf and Hard of hearing equal to all. This is particularly important as the country strives to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Zimbabwe has progressive constitutional provisions that if implemented people who are Deaf and hard of hearing will live more fulfilling and prosperous lives.
Other topics covered in the bulletin are:
- Demonstrations and Persons with Disabilities.
- Disability Expo 2016.
- DZT at 2016 Harare Agricultural Show.

PORTLAND — The School Department is applying for state loans for renovation projects at three schools to the tune of just over $2.5 million.
The School Board was slated to have a first reading at its Tuesday night meeting about the projects, which are not to exceed $3 million.
The proposals are for roof repairs at Portland High School, a new sprinkler system at Deering High School, and electrical service work and a new elevator at Longfellow Elementary School.
The application is being made to the Maine Department of Education's School Revolving Renovations Fund, which provides funding to schools to ensure they are healthy and safe environments.
Under Department of Education guidelines, the grants would be funded through the Maine Municipal Bond Bank. A portion of each loan is forgiven at rates ranging from 30 to 70 percent, depending on the amount subsidized by the state.
Portland's forgiveness rate is 30 percent; the remainder will be paid back over five or 10 years at zero interest. The maximum loan is $1 million per priority, per school building, within any five-year period.
This year there is funding available in two priorities.
The first priority, according to the DOE website, includes health, safety and compliance issues, such as structural roof upgrades, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, safety issues and others.
The second is for repairs and improvements not related to health, safety and compliance.
According to a memo to the School Board, the School Department is recommending a loan of $675,000 for the roof repairs at Portland High School; $750,000 for the sprinkler system at Deering; and $1.13 million for the work at Longfellow. Each of the school projects has multiple phases; all the projects are in the first priority category.
According to the memo, the first phase of work at PHS would be renovations to the roof on an addition that was built in 1919, to cost approximately $525,000. The second phase is repairing the roof on the original building with a loan of $150,000.
It is recommended that the phases be completed in the next two years, as both roofs are over 24 years old and failing. Replacing the roof on the 1991 addition, a loan estimated at another $175,000, is recommended to be undertaken in the next five years, as is repairing shelving.
At Deering, the recommendation is for two phases of work to be done in the next 18 months.
At Longfellow, during the first phase the electrical service would be upgraded, using a loan estimated at $350,000. The second phase would be installing an elevator in the building, estimated at $775,000.The upgraded electrical service will provide the capacity for the elevator.
The repairs would help Longfellow comply with ADA. Students with ADA needs are now sent to other schools in the district.

1. Instant access to specialist UK English & Maths TutorsWith EBS your children can get immediate one-to-one English and maths tutoring help with their Maths and English questions from Tutors who are all UK Qualified Teachers based in the UK. Available 6 days a week at key homework times, not just once a week with an in-home tutor - and that's all year round including the holidays.
2. More affordable than other Maths & English Home TutorsEBS is just one price for both maths and English combined - and that's for the whole family of up to 6 children, not per child. With home tutors costing up to £25 per hour per child per subject every week, EBS makes one-to-one tutoring affordable for your family and lets you give them the help they need, whenever they need it.
3. Targeted Tuition and Homework SupportBy focussing on what they don't know not practising what they do, the EBS English & Maths Tutors give immediate help to your children and then let them get straight back into their homework or revision with no time wasted. They work with your children in small bite sized chunks, rather than a whole hour at once, giving children just the help they need at that point.
4. Motivating and Confidence BuildingSuccess breeds success. Immediate help to maintain progress at school and build confidence rather than waiting for home tutor to call, ensures your children don't fall behind and lose confidence. With maths & English being building blocks for almost all other subjects at school, increasing their skills and confidence in these core subjects can improve all their school results.
5. Safe and ConvenientNo strangers visiting your home. No trips to tutoring centres or tutor's homes. All EBS English and Maths Tutors are all UK Qualified Teachers and work in a 100% secure tutoring environment - only the teacher and the child or parent have access. It's also convenient for you because your children are in charge of their learning and can use the tuition as they need it.
6. Helps Parents (and Grandparents) TooMany things are taught differently today to the way parents learned them at school. The EBS English and Maths Tutors are all experienced teachers and know how things are taught today, unlike many home other tutors. So they can help you too if you want to help your children yourself, especially young or sensitive children who are nervous about talking to strangers at first.

I have been reading the posts today to further understand the concerns or customers and partner as well as our great community forum supporters. We will continue to provide the correct information-- see the New Support Policy: Reality & Myth-- I am one of the folks that you may consider "brain dead" but bear with me a minute-- We absolutely believe there is tremendous value in Novell's patches, service packs and other intellectual property and that the cost of providing these services should not be solely born by current maintenance customers. Even with this revised policy, there are still a number of valuable services available without a maintenance contract including stand-alone security patches, access to core support knowledgebase content, product documentation, product evaluation versions, collateral, and access to Cool Solutions and various Novell Support Forums. The new policy also does not impact customers of the SUSE Linux Enterprise product line. It will also not apply to NetWare or products that have moved beyond general support phase of the product lifecycle. Finally, ALA/SLA customers will continue to have access to all patches, service packs and knowledgebase content for the products they own.
Novell has a strong maintenance offering allowing unlimited assisted support as well as unrestricted access to patches and our knowledgebase. We have certified our center and field capabilities and won numerous industry awards. I am proud of the Novell team. Colleen O'Keefe

Loose Nuts. Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tipping%20Point/162/99/107
On a tip from my friend Greg Parker I ran over to check out Loose Nuts, at Nut's Landing. This is a rotating party/dance sim owned by Delia Claremont with builds by her and DJ Dune (Dunerunner), Pross (prosperine2), and Hepburn. I happened to catch their Mardi Gras build before the party and took a few pics then came back while Dune was putting some finishing touches on the "SL Love is Strange" or sort of a Out of This World anti-Valentines day Valentines party build where there will be a party open to the public tonight from 5-8pm SLT, then 5-8 Saturday and again Sunday, Valentines day from 4:30-7:30pm SLT.
Ok, I must emphasize here that this place is very cool and not your average party or club time dance area. They make these builds and boy do they make them. The pictures do not do them justice. They have an amazing fully immersive look and feel to them, with vignette areas to play and interact, photo booths and photo ops, games, fun things to see and do and they are fully decorated and surrounded. Apparently they have these themed rotating events regularly and do new builds for them along with having a consistent club on the ground and a current winter barn area too. These are great explores and photo opportunities too. Hint: look for hidden areas too! Hope to see you there!

NCAA penalties are designed to do two things: punish (schools that violate the organization's rules) and deliver a message (to schools that might be tempted to violate them).
NCAA penalties are designed to do two things: punish (schools that violate the organization's rules) and deliver a message (to schools that might be tempted to violate them).
On Monday, it did both in a brutal and unprecedented way, hammering Penn State University because of school officials' apparent roles in covering up the sexual abuse of young boys by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
We say brutal because of the magnitude of the penalties. Penn State was fined $60 million, banned from postseason play and subjected to major scholarship reductions for four years, and its current players will be allowed to transfer without having to wait a season to be eligible. The Nittany Lions also had 14 years' of victories stripped from the record books, meaning the late Joe Paterno, whose reputation has suffered the most in this debacle, no longer holds the major college record for coaching wins.
NCAA President Mark Emmert said there was support for even stronger penalties, including shutting Penn State's football program down and levying larger fines, if the university hadn't agreed to accept the sanctions that it won't appeal.
One could call this a "walking death penalty," though, since the effect on the Nittany Lions likely will be that severe.
That's not something we relish. Penn State has had an admirable program, athletically and academically, for decades, and always has had the respect of fans in this state. It's a part of the University of Alabama's football legend, courtesy of the Crimson Tide's famous goal-line stand in the 1979 Sugar Bowl.
The penalties are unprecedented because they occurred outside the NCAA's normal enforcement and infractions process, relied on findings by an independent investigation (by former FBI Director Louis Freeh), were levied so quickly (the NCAA typically moves at a glacial pace) and didn't involve violations designed to gain a competitive advantage.
However, the NCAA's board of directors and executive committee authorized this punishment, and we don't think they had a choice. Fans and others who have said the NCAA overstepped its authority here are missing the point. What happened at Penn State — and more of the story likely will be revealed in the upcoming trials of the school's athletic director and a senior vice president — can't be viewed in sports terms. It was an institutional failure, and because of those apparently responsible, the football program is going to have to absorb the punishment.
That's where delivering a message comes in. Other schools, seeing a rival with such a clean reputation ravaged so completely for a first offense, are going to be scrutinizing every individual involved with their programs, from the coaches' offices to the locker room sweepers. And given that the NCAA seems now to be in line with the rest of society when it comes to child sexual abuse — heightened awareness, zero tolerance, those who qualify as mandatory reporters being required to go to the authorities with mere suspicions — it's doubtful we'll see a repeat of what brought Penn State down.

The exceptional flavour of Clearspring Japanese teas comes from careful organic cultivation, special preparation and packing the tea bags in foil directly on the estate. Buddhist monks from ancient China originally brought green tea, known as cha, to Japan where for centuries it was a rare and luxurious commodity. After generations of cultivation, it has become Japan's national drink and drinking tea is a ritualised part of everyday life.
Clearspring's range of the finest organic Japanese teas has a flavour to suit every taste, from bittersweet Matcha Sencha to mild and earthy Kukicha. Fresh tasting and mildly aromatic, these unfermented teas (except for Oolong) are perfect for drinking either with or between meals. With their delicate and clean flavour, Clearspring Japanese teas are best enjoyed unsweetened and without milk.

Los Angeles: Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner is suing paparazzi over a fatal 2015 car accident in Malibu involving her. In legal documents obtained by eonline.com, the "I Am Cait" star alleges that a group of photographers had been stalking her all day before the crash happened and killed another driver named Kimberly Howe. Jenner states in the suit that those paparazzi even followed her as she drove along Pacific Coast Highway. While she was driving her vehicle "consistent with all laws and speed limits," those photographers weren't and subsequently caused the collision. "As Jenner was driving her vehicle consistent with all laws and speed limits, the Stalker Defendants, and others acting in concert with them, continuously, negligently, and recklessly operated their vehicles, tracking Jenner," the lawsuit reads. "As a direct consequence and result of this stalking, harassing and distracting conduct, (Jenner) was visually distracted, and the negligence and reckless conduct of the Stalker Defendants did contribute to the cause of an accident where seconds and split seconds mattered," it adds. The accident happened in February 2015. At the time, Howe was inside the white Lexus which Jenner rear-ended with her Cadillac Escalade SUV before getting struck by a Hummer. Howe was pronounced dead at the scene and her adult step-children then sued Jenner for it. The lawsuit, however, was dismissed earlier this year. –IANS

How does KAATSU work?
The KAATSU equipment applies compression on the upper arms and upper legs. KAATSU (which means "additional pressure" in Japanese) serves the opposite of a tourniquet. The compression engorges the limbs with blood that leads to a cascade of safe and natural physiological reactions in the body. KAATSU leads to a disturbance of homeostasis where simple exercise becomes difficult or cannot be sustained. This leads to a failure signal sent to the central nervous system and the subsequent secretion of Growth Hormones. KAATSU is the body's safe way to replicate vigorous exercise due to the natural physiological reaction of doing simple movement while the limbs are engorged with blood.

Calvin: a novel is a beautifully written, quick-to-read story about a 17 year old named Calvin, who is obsessed with Bill Watterson and the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. The novel begins with the real Calvin's schizophrenia diagnosis and his decision that he must have Mr. Watterson's help to overcome his illness. This is a quick read not only because it is written mostly as dialog, but also because you'll want to push on through to the end to find out what happens to Calvin and his friend/girlfriend Susie as they try to get Bill Watterson's help. Yes, there are many similarities between the 17 year old Calvin in the novel and the infamous Calvin of the comic strip. This is the perfect book for fans of Calvin and Hobbes, as well as anyone interested in the Great Lakes - Lake Eerie lovers in particular.
This book was a delightful surprise. A definite crossover for adults as well as the intended teen audience.
Calvin is a brilliant 17 year old who has procrastinated much too long on his final English and biology projects. Recently diagnosed with schizophrenia, he decides to undertake an epic pilgrimage across Lake Erie along with childhood friend Susie and the hallucination of a 10 foot tiger named Hobbes to convince Bill Watterson to write one more strip of Calvin & Hobbes. Thoughtful and heartfelt. (Submitted by Meghan W).
Seventeen Year old Calvin is diagnosed with Schizophrenia when he starts hallucinating about a man-eating tiger. The hallucinations last and Calvin struggles to regain control of his own mind. He does so with one grand, incredibly risky adventure and the description of his battle with his mind and the forces of nature makes for very interesting reading. A tale told sensitively. Calvin agonizes that the loneliest feeling in the world is "the feeling you get when you see somehting no one else can see, or hear something no one else can hear,or believe something no one else can believe." He calls it his "alone" feeling and says he just cannot make anyone else understand.
I loved the concept in so many ways. Have been a Calvin & Hobbes fan for many years and was also interested in finding out what it is like to have schizophrenia.
Calvin has a schizophrenic episode and ends up in the hospital. He decides to put into action a plan to walk across Lake Erie to meet Bill Watterson in Cleveland. He has contacted Bill in assorted ways asking for one last comic strip with Calvin his age and sane without Hobbes. That will be the cure -- Calvin is certain.
Then his childhood friend Susie decides to join him on his pilgrimage. Is Susie real or a figment of his imagination (like Hobbes)??? Finding out kept me reading until the last chapter. Everyone else can find out the same way I did.
Why four stars and not five?? I found the dialogue style of propelling the story along was a bit hard to follow at times. Well worth reading in spite of that, though. Recommended!
Teenage Calvin was born on the same day that Bill Watterson's final Calvin and Hobbes comic strip appeared. Is it any surprise that his favourite stuffed toy as a child was a tiger named Hobbes and that he has a troubled relationship with his childhood friend and neighbour named Susie?
Nearing the end of high school Calvin has a schizophrenic episode in which his imaginary tiger comes to life. Calvin sets out across frozen Lake Erie to track down Calvin and Hobbes creator Watterson determined that his illness will disappear if the artist draws one last strip about Calvin at 17, "healthy and well, with no Hobbes in it." Susie accompanies Calvin on his journey but it's unclear until the end of the book whether it's the real Susie or just another figment of Calvin's imagination.
Even if you've never been a fan of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons, there is much to enjoy in this lovely young adult novel by Alberta writer Martine Leavitt. A tender look at self discovery and mental illness.
SCL Afternoon Book Club rates this 7 out of 10. A great book for inspiring discussion.
Calvin gives you a lot to think about. It even had me going back and rereading Calvin and Hobbes.
Calvin was so good! It really connects with the reader, and makes you appreciate everything that the characters are feeling. I would 100% recommend.
This book is a story about a teenage boy named Calvin, who is suddenly a victim of schizophrenia. When people suffer from schizophrenia they begin to imagine things that other people can't see. In Calvins case he imagines the comic book character Hobbes. Calvin begins to think that he must talk to the author of all the Calvin and Hobbes comics to make him normal again. With his friend Suzie he takes a great journey across lake Erie in search of Mr. Watterson.
Over all, I thought that this book wasn't very engaging, and didn't explain the effect schizophrenia has on real people.
Calvin is a book that really connects with the reader. Especially since it is written in the perspective of a letter to Mr. Watterson. The book is about Calvin and Susie (2 friends) who go on a adventure across Lake Erie. It taught me a lot and it truly is an amazing story.
QuotesAdd a Quote
"Maybe the loneliest feeling in the world, Bill, is the feeling you get when you see something no one else can see, or hear something no one else can hear, or believe something no one else can believe. Maybe that's the worst thing about what I have, that alone feeling, knowing that I can't make anyone really understand about Hobbes." p114
"Me: You know what makes me crazy, Susie? Being crazy, that's what. Try staying sane when everyone treats you like you're insane."
Reality is just this game people play together, something their brain decides on, and the minute their brain gets iffy about reality, they realize everything they know about the world is just their own made-up version of it, and that would mean everyone is walking around in their own made-up world, all alone, and reality is just something we invent together to make us feel not so alone. It scares people when some of us check out of the game.
I've figured out there's a difference between the meaning of the word 'real' and the meaning of the word 'true.'

That's one of the most common questions I've been asked in the past month as I start to share with people what my new path is. The other is this statement, "I should have hired a doula for my birth/s!"
How did I get here?
If you've been following me, I hired April to be our doula for the births of both girls. Olive was born in a hospital, Trixie at a birth center. April was instrumental in keeping my sanity together both times, guiding and directing my family as they supported me, becoming my focal point during transitional labor, and a supportive figure post partum.
Yes, we went to childbirth classes. Yes, I read every book and evidence-based resource I could find. The value of having her there was priceless.
Doulas "mother the mother." *
• Provide emotional support
• Use comfort measures: breathing, relaxation, movement, positioning
• Give information
• Continuously reassures and comforts the mother (the key word is continuous—a doula never leaves the mother's side)
• Helps a mother become informed about various birth choices
• Advocates for the mother and helps facilitate communication between the mother and care provider
• Looks after your partner as well (gives them bathroom breaks!), but their primary responsibility is to the mother
• Doulas are NOT medical professionals
• They do not perform clinical tasks such as vaginal exams or fetal heart monitoring
• They do not give medical advice or diagnose conditions
• They do not judge you for decisions that you make
• They do not take over the role of your husband or partner
• They do not deliver the baby
Studies demonstrate many medical benefits to those women who choose to be attended by a doula. The average length of labor is shortened, pain is reported as better controlled, the cesarean rate is lowered, occurrences of interventions such as pitocin and episiotomies are lowered. Most of these can be directly traced to the increased calm and security of the mom who is continuously attended throughout labor and delivery with both emotional and physical support It is also found that those mothers who have doulas recount a more positive birth experience overall and describe less postpartum anxiety as well as more enjoyment in their parenting afterward, due in part to their confidence gained during the birth process.
I wanted the least amount of medical interventions as possible. This is how I personally landed on hiring a doula. All the additional benefits reinforced my decision that I needed additional support – so that I didn't kill Paul in the process.
How I decided to become one came after delivering at a birth center. I've always been drawn to helping others, and my employment history reflects this. There was also a time when I wanted to grow up and be an OB. (The long road of medical school and lack of academic support quickly changed that.)
It is amazing to witness the strength of a woman when she is preparing for and is in labor. It's an honor to be a part of that experience and to be able to welcome her new baby along with her.
And I want to be a part of something that's meaningful and long term. (Sitting at a desk all day in corporate America is not going to do it.)
So. Here I go. A new direction. I'm excited to share this here.

Among the dozens of cars and concept vehicles on display at the Tokyo Motor Show this year will be eight from Fiat Chrysler. While FCA won't be introducing anything new, its appearance at the Tokyo Big Sky convention center is nonetheless noteworthy because it marks the maker's first appearance at the biennial show in eight years.
In fact, none of the Big Three automakers have displayed at the show since 2009, and Jeep's been out since 2007.
Detroit makers, in general, have been wary about even operating in Japan, long arguing that they've effectively been locked out of what Detroit makers have often argued is a "closed" market for foreign brands. (more…)

ASMK donates €717 to ARKA foundation in Gozo
Posted By Sportinmalta On October 3, 2014 @ 8:00 am In Featured,Motorsport | No Comments
On Sunday 21st September 'Assocjazzjoni Sport Muturi u Karozzi' (ASMK) successfully organized a Special Autocross event in Sannat Gozo to raise funds for the ARKA Foundation also of Sannat. It all started during last May Moto Enduro event when the Minister for Gozo expressed his wish to ASMK to organise an event for ARKA.
In a full week's work with special machinery from Gozo department and contractors including machinery from ASMK which was transported from Malta was used to convert a large field into a Motorsport Autocross complex in Sannat. This was possible by kind permission of Cassar and Curmi families as land owners, the Ministry for Gozo, the Sannat, Victoria and Xewkija Local Councils, the Gozo Police, the Works Department and the Gozo Sports Board. Apap family from Victoria also helped ASMK to solve all arising difficulties during the week's hard work to convert a field into a temporary Autocross track.
During this event ASMK collected €717, 00 which are wholly being donated to Fr. Michael Galea obo ARKA Foundation who thanked all present during the trophies presentation for their donation towards ARKA in a few hours. He also expressed himself as being impressed by the large number of followers of both Maltese and Gozo Motorsport fans and enthusiasts.
Sannat Mayor Philip Vella also thanked all especially ASMK Executives for transforming a field into a temporary Motorsport complex and for a good cause. He also said that he will support ASMK in future events in Sannat Gozo too.
ASMK President Frans Deguara thanked all for their help and support and said that if ASMK will be supported again while in Gozo, ASMK will hold such event as an appointment with Autocross and Morocross events in Gozo. Mr Deguara also said that during this week all machinery was utilized to the full. In fact, the Motocross track in Nadur was completely refurbished after some years of neglect. All this was done during the construction of the temporary Autocross track in Sannat.
Though the ambient temperature was not the ideal one for Motorsport, 23 competitors made it to Sannat. They were divided between Maltese and Gozo drivers. In the Maltese Class A Christian Mark Galea on his Ritmo demonstrated his skills to all present. In the 6 Laps Final Race Galea bet all though he started from the five cars grid. Duncan Delia and Philip J. Vella finished in 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Andreas Zammit and Philip Grima also competed in this Class A Finals both on Ford cars.
The Finals Class B drivers were Carlos Mifsud and Christian Apap both on Ford Fiesta, Lucas Pace on a Honda Civic, Melo Zammit on an Opel Corsa and Jean Paul Grech on his Peugeot 106. From the start Gozo driver Christian Apap took the lead ahead of Lucas Pace on a Honda Civic. The six laps Final was battled completely between Apap and Pace who held their placing in this formation right to the Finish. Carlos Mifsud won 3rd in Class.
The Gozo Class A was very well battled between Domenic Zammit on an Alfa Sud and Marvin Grima on an Opel Corsa but Zammit demonstrated his experience in Autocross driving andwon the race ahead of Grima, Chris Sultana and Derrick Vella both on Honda Civic cars.
In the meantime ASMK also informed all present about the small changes in the ASMK Calendar of events for the 2014/2015 season. On Sunday 12th October the Enduro Section will launch the new events at Fawwara.
The Autocross (in Ta Qali Sport Complex) starts on Sunday 19th October 2014 while the 1st Trials event will be held on the same day at Ballut quarry in limits of Naxxar.
The Motocross championship launch date will be announced soon. More information can be found in the Official Site www.asmk.org.mt

Giolito, 18, will visit Lewis Yocum, the doctor who performed Tommy John surgery — an elbow ligament replacement procedure — on Nationals pitchers Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann. Nationals team doctor Wiemi Douoguih examined Giolito, but the Nationals are seeking a second opinion from Yocum. As soon as Giolito can be examined, he will fly out to Los Angeles.
"If he needs surgery, we're going to give him the surgery," Rizzo said. "There's no sense in delaying it."
The Nationals selected Giolito with the 16th overall pick and signed him moments before the July 13 deadline, even though he had suffered an elbow injury during his senior year of high school.
Giolito threw in his first professional baseball game on Aug. 14, allowing one run on two hits but lasting only two innings in a Gulf Coast League outing. He was pulled after he experienced soreness in the same elbow. The injury was first reported by ESPN.com.
Giolito said in June that the initial elbow injury was treated at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles, where Nats pitchers Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann underwent Tommy John surgery, and that it would not likely lead to surgery. The Nationals agreed that a cautious rehabilitation route, instead of surgery, was the best approach and sent the pitcher down to Viera, Fla., in mid-July to continue his rehab under the Nationals minor league coaches.
Giolito didn't experience any discomfort during his rehab process leading up to his first start, Rizzo said.
Giolito was considered among the top prospect in the Nationals' system. Some viewed him as a possible first overall pick before he strained the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow ligament during his senior season at Harvard-Westlake School in Studio City, Calif.
"We knew when we drafted him this was an issue," Rizzo said. "We were comfortable with the fact that the worst-case scenario was Tommy John surgery and we'll see if that's where we're headed. Going into this with our eyes wide open and we thought this was scenario and a possibility."
Giolito has thrown his fastball 100 mph, along with a hard curveball and improving change-up. He was weighing a scholarship offer to play baseball at UCLA or signing with the Nationals.
