There is such a thing 'good loan' – and lenders are looking for the right borrowers to give this loan.
By: Hitesh Khan/
A business loan can provide the capital needed to grow your business. But you must be prepared with a business plan and a thorough knowledge of your credit history. Be mindful that lenders want to make loans injecting you with the the capital needed to grow your business. Loans are a main source of revenue for them.
When speaking to a lender they will qualify that statement by saying that they want to make a "good loan." So what makes a good loan?
When going for a good loan you cannot over prepare:
- Prepare a well-written business plan. Preparing a business plan should take some time and is a thoughtful process.
- Establish a relationship with a lender. If you don't have a relationship, start cultivating one now. And make sure the lender is friendly to small business.
- Know what your personal credit report looks like. All lenders will request a credit report – know what yours says. Credit reports can contain errors. Clear up any errors before going to the bank. If your credit report reflects unfavorable data, be prepared to discuss it. Don't be caught off guard.
When going for a good loan, you must know the Five Cs of Credit and how you stack up against them.
These guidelines are the acid test for obtaining a good loan:
The Five Cs of Credit
Your bank is in business to make money. Consequently, when a bank lends money it wants to ensure that it will be paid back. The bank must consider the Five 5 Cs of credit when they give out a good loan.
Capacity to repay is the most critical of the five factors. The prospective lender will want to know exactly how you intend to repay the loan. The lender will consider the cash flow from the business; the timing of the repayment, and the probability of successful repayment of the loan. Payment history on existing credit relationships – personal and commercial – is considered an indicator of future payment performance. Prospective lenders also will want to know about your contingent sources of repayment.
Capital is the money you personally have invested in the business and is an indication of how much you will lose should the business fail. Prospective lenders and investors will expect you to contribute your own assets and to undertake personal financial risk to establish the business before asking them to commit any funding. If you have a significant personal investment in the business you are more likely to do everything in your power to make the business successful.
Collateral or guarantees are additional forms of security you can provide the lender. If the business cannot repay its loan, the bank wants to know there is a second source of repayment. Assets such as equipment, buildings, accounts receivable, and in some cases, inventory, are considered possible sources of repayment if they are sold by the bank for cash. Both business and personal assets can be sources of collateral for a loan. A guarantee, on the other hand, is just that – someone else signs a guarantee document promising to repay the loan if you can't. Most lenders may require such a guarantee in addition to collateral as security for a loan.
Conditions focus on the intended purpose of the loan. Will the money be used for working capital, additional equipment or inventory? The lender will also consider the local economic climate and conditions both within your industry and in other industries that could affect your business.
Character is the personal impression you make on the potential lender or investor. The lender decides subjectively whether or not you are sufficiently trustworthy to repay the loan or generate a return on funds invested in your company. Your educational background and experience in business and in your industry will be reviewed. The quality of your references and the background and experience of your employees will also be considered.
Businesses owners ought to remember that you need to borrow when you do not need money. When your business is struggling and you need additional funding to tide over a tough patch, then you will find that your access to funding is completely cut off and end up with very expensive funding.

Using existing house wiring
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 7:11 pm
I currently have Comcast Digital Voice (VOIP) phone service. When it was installed, they disconnected the regular phone line at the box outside, & put a jumper in or whatever so that once my modem was plugged in & connected to the nearest phone jack, ALL phones in the house work as they did prior to Digital Voice. In other words, ALL phone outlets are HOT, and any phones, DVRs, etc. connected to them work as normal. When I hook up my ooma hub, will all my phone jacks continue to operate the same way........ or am I expecting too much? What IS the best way to hook in the ooma hub to accomplish this........ if it's possible?? Thanks in advance for you response!

We love it when we can head along to industry events which have you leaving with a mind full of insight and a belly full of free food and drinks. And Started From the Bottom was just that. Hosted by General Assembly at aMBUSH gallery, the night was teamed up with drinks, eats & beats. With the perfect amount of time to mingle teamed up with an awesome lineup of industry speakers (two of which were featured in Issue 04 of Kaleido!) we left the event feeling inspired.
First up was our favourite groover, Vanessa Marian from Groove Therapy who kicked off her talk with a quick dance sesh to break the ice. She discussed how Groove Therapy focusses on promoting diversity within their company, and how that will then be projected to a global audience. "If it comes from yourself in something that matters then failure doesn't matter. And that's what will keep it authentic and others will see the same authenticity."
Following Vanessa was Mary Hoang from The Indigo Project, another feature from Kaleido Issue 04 and our very own panelist from our launch. She reminded us that starting a new business is not all glitz and glamour, it's really fucking hard. Something that really helped shape what Indigo is today is her willingness to open up and be vulnerable in all areas of life. "It's okay to not be okay, it's okay for you to not be okay."
Next up was Edwin Onggo, the founder and CEO of GiggedIn who chatted about why and how he started his business. He reflected on although it's hard and challenging to start a business, its really rewarding. Once you figure out the problems in the world that you'd to solve, next comes the passion. "But don't be too fixed on the solution" Edwin says, reminding us to leave room to expand and evolve.
Caroline Shields next took to the stage to introduce her passion project turned social movement, Be An Unfucker. She and co-founder Vanessa Morrish are on a mission to redefine what it means to be green. It only takes a quick scroll through their website to instantly relate and connect with their content, these ladies know how to speak to their audience! "You can be an Unfucker, all you have to do is choose one thing that you want to change."
Last up on the night was Adam Jacobs from The Iconic. He took us through his relatively fast journey to creating one of Australia's leading online fashion retail site; starting in a tiny studio in Surry Hills and moving into a huge warehouse with hundreds of employees in just 5 years. His three steps to building a successful brand follow purpose, team, and execution.

News: 2017/10/18
From 2nd to 4th October 2017 in Sendai, 2nd Karolinska-Tohoku Joint Symposium on Medical Sciences, featuring biobank and biochemistry, was held by Tohoku University Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University Hospital, and Karolinska Institute.
In the opening remarks, President Susumu Satomi at Tohoku University, told that Tohoku University had been selected as one of the three Designated National University Corporations by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in 2017, and was planning to establish the World Leading Research Centers of next-generation medical care. This symposium was held as the kickoff meeting for the center.
During the symposium, 32 speakers presented their recent progresses in various biomedical topics and active discussions were held. Especially, the biochemistries of oxidative stress signaling and importance of clinical biobanking were discussed.
As a Designated National University, Tohoku University has a mission to facilitate young scientists' research activity. So the symposium awarded two young investigators for their presentations: the winners were Dr. Qing Cheng at Karolinska Institute and Associate Prof. Masahiro Hiratsuka at Tohoku University.
The symposium was a good opportunity to fortify the partnerships between Karolinska Institute and Tohoku University, and will be a trigger to develop new international collaborations for next-generation medical care among clinical biobanks.
Before the symposium, 10 foreign speakers took a tour of the facilities such as supercomputer system, biobank, sequencing facility, Sendai Community Support Center.

Change happens. Sometimes it happens when it's least expected and sometimes we plan change only to find out it happens much differently than we planned. I sort of love change. It forces me to constantly evaluate my life which can be a big pain but it almost always results in something better. I've never truly regretted making a big change in my life although I have had to make a few new changes when the first one didn't work out. That does happen sometimes.
The year our babies were born held a lot of change for our little family. Tere had been in the hospital for something like three months before their birth. I went from using our big house as a place to sleep and change clothes to suddenly having a house full of people and crying babies.
Tere worked from her bed all during her stay at the hospital and then from home for another four months. When she finally went back to work, she started to realize it wasn't the best fit for her. It wasn't anyone's fault; it just wasn't a good fit. It happens. In the meantime, my 45-minute, one-way drive to work was becoming a problem. I couldn't care less about the drive but I just didn't want any extra time away from the things I needed and wanted to do. When I was done with work, I wanted to be home with our babies.
I had wanted to sell our house for a while. We had remodeled the entire thing. It was gorgeous but unless we were going to live in it for a very long time, there was no reason to hold on to it any longer. To get our investment out, we needed to sell. Tere wasn't sure where she would end up next but it was certainly west of our house in the Hollywood Hills and I worked much further west as it was. I took the opportunity to press Tere to sell. She took me up on it and soon we were in sales mode. Selling your house is stressful but I love it. It doesn't get much better – I really should have been a salesman of some sort! Soon we had multiple offers and lots of negotiating happening all around us.
As the end of the year approached, we had increased our family to four, Tere had started a position with a new company, and our house was closing escrow. It was the end of 2007 and real change was lurking around the corner. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
My real point is that even after what was probably the most stressful time in our lives, I look back very fondly on all of it. I see this picture of my wife and our son snoozing in our bed late one weekend morning and it makes me smile. I loved that house. I loved that time. I love driving the kids up that hill and showing them the house we brought them home to. They have no idea what I'm talking about but they humor me nonetheless.
Tere and I have had a lot of change. We will still have more change to come and although sometimes we sweat the small stuff, it's moments like this picture that make me stop and realize what we're really doing.
Living. Breathing. Being.
I hope you get a chance today to stop and breathe and maybe remember a great moment in your life when change happened.

PR And Gouging
Senator Bernie Sanders is demanding to know why a drug that was once free is now costing patients $375,000 a year. He has put the pharmaceutical company, Catalyst, on the spot. The implication is that it is gouging patients for unmerited profit. There might be good reasons for the stunning increase in price, but Catalyst is in a bad PR position. Whatever it says will be measured against other drug makers who have relentlessly jacked prices of their medicines. None are looking good. Catalyst, to avoid a charge of gouging, needs strong proofs that the cost of making the Firdapse has escalated and the company can no longer afford to make it for free. That is a tall order. If the senator pursues the case, there will be more bad news. One wonders if the cost of the drug is worth it.

Update: The fine people at Outer Places have given me a coupon code for 10% off the Supply Pod mystery box to share with my readers, FANLETTER10. The last day to order this box is Thursday October 29th, so if you're interested, you've got to decide soon. Orders ship on the 31st.
Miss my previous post on this mystery box and don't know what I'm talking about? It's a box similar to Loot Crate but 'where science meets science fiction'. The contents are secret, but this box is themed around the film The Martian, and so may include "survival gear, astronaut essentials, engaging collectibles and much more". Right now the box is only available in the US and comes in two options. The Essential Pod costs $29.99 + 7.99 shipping and handling.
Alas, I can't get the box, being Canadian, but I'm hoping someone does an unboxing video so I can see what cool things are in it.

That bacon cheeseburger has how many calories?
You mean to tell me that my Quadruple Bacon Cheeseburger with extra bacon and extra mayo, and supersized fries and Big Gulp of Coke may have more calories than a salad with fat-free Italian dressing and Smart Water?
You could knock me over with a ton of bricks … and that's pretty much what it would take.
I've put on a few.
Starting a year from now, the Food and Drug Administration will require fast food joints, chain restaurants, supermarket prepared food counters, movie theaters and convenience stores to post the number of calories next to every item on their menu.
Bottom line, if a place sells ready-to-eat food, and has more than 20 locations, you'll know the calorie count of everything you order.
Way to go, Michelle, my belle.
I know the first lady had nothing to do with the FDA rule, but she's a pusher of eating more healthfully, and I never miss a chance of working a Beatles song into my column.
I'll bet you're thinking that I'm against this new FDA rule. I'm the guy who writes about fast food - the villain in the black hat of healthy eating.
I ate a pizza in Rome this month that brought me to my knees. I love a big juicy burger, there's nothing better. Sometimes.
Here's the big but (I said "but," not "butt" - that's for another column), I've been 20 years ahead of this FDA rule. I not only include the number of calories in each fast food review, I give you the fat grams, carbs, fiber and sodium information, too.
So I'm in favor of the FDA rule. The agency should have gone even further to include fat grams, carbs and sodium.
I believe the more you know, the smarter you'll eat.
There's no helping some people. The problem is, food that's bad for you usually tastes pretty good. Some people have the willpower of a six-week-old puppy. For other people, it's not a choice. Eating healthfully can get expensive.
Ever see photos from when a Krispy Kreme comes to town? People are lined up around the block like they're giving away free money - to eat an overpriced doughnut that's slathered in gooey sugar. It's the most overrated product ever. I'll take Shipley and Dunkin' over KK every day of the week.
Well, not every day. That's too many doughnuts.
Carl's Jr. has a TV commercial running with a slinky, gorgeous blonde on an airplane asking the shnook next to her, "Want to join the Mile High Club?" He gulps, "Yes," and she sticks a burger called the Mile High Thickburger - it's the size of a football - in his face.
I can put two and two together. If I go to Carl's Jr. and order the Mile High Thickburger, I'll get a girl like that. Now it all makes sense.
The Mile High Bacon Cheese Thickburger has 1,190 calories.
How come Subway never shows Jared getting the girl?
Do I have to come up with all the good ideas around here?
Classic calories
Customer: "Are your salads any good?"
Hooters Girl: "We have salads?"
Unless you're from the Bizarro World, or Chicago, you have to know that big greasy bratwurst hoagies aren't exactly health food.
When you walk into Dairy Queen's front door, your diet goes out the drive-through window. I like mixed metaphors almost as much as I like Beatles songs.
Do you need a government sign telling you that a large DQ Butterfinger Blizzard has 990 calories?
Try the Classic Skillets breakfast at IHOP. They look pretty normal, with eggs and potatoes in a personal fry pan. I tried the skillet with country fried steak.
Ready? It's got 2,510 calories.
The FDA rule will require restaurants to add this cheery message on their menus, too: "2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice, but calorie needs vary."
So that IHOP skillet - one serving - has more calories than you're supposed to eat all day. And it's only 7 in the morning. You're still in your sweat pants.
As Ron Popeil got rich saying, wait, there's more. We haven't touched the pancakes that come on the side. Pass the fake maple syrup, please.
Tricks of the trade
While I'm a drive-through commando, I have my little ways of staying short of the Big & Tall Shop.
Always, "Hold the mayo." Mayonnaise is pure fat and shouldn't be anywhere near a burger, anyway. I toss the top half of the bun. The burger tastes the same. When I order a pizza from the Hut, Domino's or Papa John's, I tell them "half the normal amount of cheese." The pizza tastes the same. Get small fries. Drink water. You don't need dessert, especially in a fast food joint.
A chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A has 440 calories and 18 fat grams. And tastes really good.
A Big Mac at McDonald's has 530 calories and 27 fat grams. And tastes like a nasty glop of mayo, pickles and bread.
On second thought, Krispy Kreme is the second most-overrated product ever.
And it's not all about the food. Find a fun exercise that you won't give up in a week (like that treadmill you use as a clothes hanger). I hate running, but I like riding a bicycle. I won't do yoga, but I like playing tennis.
Bikes get you farther, and everything is more fun when you keep score.
Just ask the FDA.

The Danvers Town Hall is one of the town's most recognizable landmarks. The building was constructed in 1855 as a high school and is eligible to be listed in the Massachusetts Historic Register. Gienapp Architects has provided numerous services for the Danvers Town Hall to modernize and preserve this historic building while retaining its unique character. Our office has helped improve accessibility without compromising on the building's features and assisted the town in applying for variances from the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board. We restored the main façade, including windows, doors, columns, quoins and other distinctive features. We replaced deteriorating elements with low-maintenance materials that still matched the original profile of the building and designed and installed new energy-efficient LEED-equivalent mechanical systems.
This neo-Gothic Town Hall was built in 1927 and is culturally and historically significant to the Town of Norwood and its residents. Over the years, the building had suffered water damage. Gienapp Architects was brought on to identify the cause of the water infiltration and design repairs to the building's exterior masonry.
Our office conducted a thorough study that determined the cause of water infiltration to be the compromised masonry envelope, including cracks in joints and in the stones themselves. We painstakingly numbered and recorded the stones and their positions, replacing damaged stones with exact reproductions in the same locations. We also repaired the slate roof, relocating original tiles to high-visibility areas and using new slate on less visible spots. We replaced copper flashing on the roof and parapet walls, as well as repairing interior areas that had been damaged by water.
As part of our on-call contract with the Town of Watertown, Gienapp Architects designed renovations and repairs to the Town's North Fire Station in order make the 1960s building more modern, functional and comfortable for the city's first responders. We designed renovations and upgrades for living and common spaces, including renovations in the men's showers and toilets as well as adding new shower and toilet facilities for female firefighters. Gienapp Architects also designed the modernization of mechanical systems, including a new domestic water system, a replacement electrical system, new fire alarms and new armature for the station's radio communication system. We also conducted exterior repairs, including replacement windows, repainting and selective roof repairs.
The Weston Council on Aging engaged Gienapp Architects to review the lower level of the town's Community Center and develop a plan to renovate the space in order to address the C.O.A.'s needs. We developed several planning options, but it quickly became apparent that the dedicated senior center space on the lower level was insufficient for the C.O.A.'s needs. Following this determination, a secondary space needs analysis was performed — our office examined the building's needs over a year-long period, reviewing the over 150 programs that take place in the building. We determined that by sharing space between the C.O.A. and the Recreation Department (the building's other tenant) it was possible for the building to meet all needs with only minor renovations to increase versatility of all spaces.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
— Sixteen Tons
Last week marked sixteen years as a freelancer. I was traveling and I don't blog much when I am on the road. I focus on spending time with and talking to people. Home is where I reflect and write.
It's been an eventful ride for 16 years. Now that I have turned 60, I doubt I will change careers and get a full-time job. There's not much of a job market left for me. In any case, I like freelancing. The only downside has ever been the financial uncertainty. My latest trip covered three countries and I met a lot of new people. Traveling about 4 times a year helps break up my routine. If I was traveling all the time I am sure it would be less appealing. I learn on every trip and really enjoy getting to understand new organizations and cultures. Back home I try to put these experiences in perspective.
Some lessons I have learnt:
2005 — Jarche Consulting is now at the ripe old age of two years — good enough for some cheeses but still too young for most wines.
2006 — I had previously worked for an e-learning technology vendor and my conclusion on leaving was that selling software licenses and improving learning & performance were not really compatible.
2007 — The best part is the lifestyle and the flexibility while the worst aspect is constantly chasing after more work and managing cash-flow (that's the part that people with regular pay cheques don't understand).
2008 — One of my greatest pleasures is meeting people whom I've known through blogging. The conversations are always rich and interesting.
2010 — seven lessons (cash, diversification, expenses, etc.)
2011 — It's been a roller coaster of a ride for the past eight years but I'm still here, freelancing, blogging and trying to figure out life in perpetual Beta.
2013 — It's life in perpetual Beta, for people and for institutions, no matter how powerful they may be. In the network era, I don't take anything for granted, and neither should the elites.
2016 — After 13 years, I continue to be directed by a vision of democratic workplaces for everyone. There is still a long way to go but the conversation is being advanced on many fronts.
2018 — Today I'm a very old chunk of cheese but a much better wine, I hope (see 2005 entry above).
2019 — It's still a roller coaster ride but my networks and communities are helping me figure things out, one day and one year at a time.

Even on a daily basis, the list of things to do can certainly seem a little overwhelming at times. Somewhere, among the hazy smog that engulfs the city, lies a hotbed of culture and

Last week, CTRL Collective opened their doors to unveil their Haunted Carnival event, an open space where the lines between Halloween party, VR showcase and carnival were blurred. The self-dubbed "creative campus," which has locations in Denver, as well as several throughout Southern California including Downtown and Pasadena, held this event in Playa Del Rey. Upon initial entrance into the night, guests (most of which came dressed in costume) had
If there's one haunted house in the Los Angeles scene that you've heard about (other than the main staples, such as Knotts Scary or Universal Horror Nights), it's probably Creep, which is considered an immersive walk-through experience. The haunt, which has seen a yearly recurrence as well as off-season productions, has garnered quite a reputation among the community. Either your hipster friend has begged you to go, or you've
Upon initial arrival to Queen Mary's Halloween offering, you'll know exactly which direction to head towards for the entrance, because a gigantic, thunderous flamethrower will occasionally fire off into the air, causing a bright flash and loud roar. This is your welcome into the park – once you make it inside, you have entered Dark Harbor, an entire fantasy nightmare-land sprawling across the boat's deck, and even spilling onto
One of the best parts of the year is undisputedly the Halloween season. I say this, again, as an undisputed, irrefutable fact. The end-of-year holiday season and Fourth of July certainly make a dent, but what other time of year offers you the ability to walk through a house full of chainsaw-wielding murderers and demon-possessed children under constant threat of an impending death? Exactly. Joking aside, this time of year,

Slade and Räikkönen had their first meeting in six years
Kimi Raikkonen came to Barcelona in the afternoon and had a long meeting about the test schedule with his race engineer Mark Slade, who started in the team at the beginning of March. Slade worked with Räikkönen last time in McLaren in 2006. Finnish driver is in the next Wednesday in popular British Top Gear tv show and tries to break Sebastian Vettel's top time at airport of Dunsfieldin. BBC broadcasts the program a week later on Sunday. Grosjean has a Japanese race engineer Ayao Komatsu, and he joked that radio traffic certainly sounds amusing when a French and a Japanese are having a conversation. "We'll try to give Kimi and his engineers all the feedback what we can. Kimi will be trying different things, so that we can get the car into top shape in Melbourne", Grosjean explained.

Kimi: We won't say 'Oh f*** we'll give up
Kimi Raikkonen has vowed that Lotus will not get despondent if they don't make a positive start to the season.
The Enstone squad made a big impact at the beginning of the 2011 campaign when they claimed two podium finishes, but they went through a major slump mid-season and eventually finished a distant fifth in the Constructors' Championship. A lot is expected from Lotus this season after they recruited former World Champion Raikkonen as one of their drivers, and made a positive start to the Jerez test. However, their pre-season plans took a big blow at the second test in Barcelona last week when they were forced to pull out on day one after they discovered a problem with their chassis.
Raikkonen, though, says the team won't get discourage if they things don't go according to plan early in the season. "The last year I was with Ferrari we weren't always at the front," he told F1 Racing in an interview. "But they [Lotus] started well last year. We hope the new car will be strong but the rules are slightly different and you never know. "But let's say we're eighth or something; we won't say 'Oh fuck we'll give up'. We'll always try to improve and hopefully we'll be as high up as we can be."

Kimi Raikkonen has fewer worries after comeback test at Valencia last month
Kimi Raikkonen says he has fewer concerns about adapting to 2012-spec Formula 1 after two years away from the sport following his two-day test at Valencia a couple of weeks ago.
The 2007 world champion, speaking at the launch of the new Lotus E20 at Jerez, said that while Pirelli's tyres were always going to provide his steepest learning curve, he felt that his run on the demo rubber in a two-year-old Renault had displaced any worries about getting up to speed quickly. "The tyres are probably the biggest difference since I left, and that's what people were saying," said Raikkonen. "But since the test two weeks ago I have less worries about the whole thing than I had before. So we will see where we are when the first race comes. For me it was nice to get back in the car again. It is very difficult to say how well we went, but I got back all the feeling about driving the car and got used to working with the team. That was really the main goal, to learn. It was interesting to drive and get a little bit back that feeling."
Raikkonen, who shook the Renault-powered E20 down during a team filming day at Jerez on Monday, said that in the short period of time that he had been working with Lotus he had been convinced that all the ingredients were in place for the squad to return to a championship-winning level. "Nobody knows exactly [how long it will take]," he said. "The team has a lot of hunger to do well and to get back their winning ways but it's not easy. If it was, everybody would do it. But definitely there are people who want to get back there and put in the effort for it. They have won it before so they have all the tools to do it. It's just about getting everything right and being up there all the time so hopefully it can happen soon, but everybody seems hungry to do it."
Raikkonen said that he was not expecting many changes on his return and that many of the faces in the paddock were similar to those he had left behind when he walked away from the sport at the end of 2009. Responding to a question that suggested he was no longer enjoying the sport when he left, Raikkonen replied: "That was only your opinion, I would have left earlier if I wasn't having fun. "I always said that I loved the racing and I have always been very happy to race. There were a lot of stories from all of your [the press] side about my motivation, but I never had any issues with that. This has come from nothing from my mind. I don't think I look at Formula 1 any differently," he said. "It's a new year and there are some different things from in the last few years, but I know the sport, I know how things work here. The racing is going to be a little different but all the other things are more or less the same. OK from team-to-team it changes in things outside of the racing but I feel sure it is going to be similar experience."
Lotus impressed by Raikkonen
Lotus has been impressed by the speed at which Kimi Raikkonen has adapted to his new car after just two full days of testing in Jerez.
Raikkonen is returning to the sport this season after two years in rallying and had his first real taste of his new car last week at Jerez. Raikkonen set the fastest time on the first day of the test and trackside operations director Alan Permane said his whole approach had been hugely impressive. "There's an awful lot more to Formula One than just putting one lap together and that's what makes a champion," he told ESPNF1. "That's the sort of thing you can see in Kimi and see how good he is; how he uses the car over a long run and how he looks after the tyres. He's never driven these tyres before and already after a couple of days you can see that he's understanding them and altering his driving to look after them – he's got a lot of feel in the car."
Asked if Raikkonen has the potential to be the leader the team was looking for last year, Permane said: "Being a world champion, we can't get a lot better than that. It's a difficult one, the question of a leader and do we need a leader. I think a driver will become a leader if he delivers and we can deliver to him. Then he can tell us what he wants, we give that to him and then he delivers again, so we build up a trust in each other. I think that's how a driver becomes a leader. "I think so far everything seems to be working well. Of course there will be ups and downs, we've had a golden week far beyond our own expectations. That, of course, can't carry on. It would be lovely if it could, but there will be ups and downs and that will test us and that's when you see how strong people's characters are."
Permane added that Raikkonen has been very specific about the requests he has made of the team, but has paid them back with "excellent" feedback. "He's very easy to work with, very, very easy indeed – no complaints at all," Permane said. "His feedback is excellent, he spends an awful lot of time with his engineers looking at stuff, going through data and telling us what he wants. From what I can see, he's happy firstly with the car we've given him, but also the other stuff – the bits that he asked for when he came, the type of steering wheel he wanted, the seat, the seat belts, things like that. We've also delivered the braking stuff he wanted, he's got all that. I think he's a pretty happy guy."

Lotus's Eric Boullier: Kimi is like an icy rock
He may be two years older and wearing different overalls as he strides through the Jerez paddock, but it almost feels as if Kimi Raikkonen has never been away from the Formula One fold. And after impressing during the opening day of pre-season testing, Raikkonen appears to be in fine form in the Lotus too. Team principal Eric Boullier discusses how the Finn is settling in…
Q: Back in November Raikkonen didn't seem to be on your agenda but then not long after you made an announcement. When did you first start talking to him about joining the team?
Eric Boullier: Well, the first talks started just after Abu Dhabi and we closed the deal in less than ten days. It all went very quickly! Just before that we were evaluating internally which driver we wanted to recruit and we only wanted to share those discussions within the team. Then we contacted Kimi – and it was done! Obviously his negotiations with Williams were going nowhere but he wanted to be back in Formula One. So it was the right time and the right situation. Clearly money was not the point. He liked the package that we offered and that was it.
Q: Did it help that he would be driving for a team with such an iconic name?
EB: I am not so sure that this played any role in his reasoning, but then of course it is better to drive for an iconic name than a 'no-name'. I think that the key motivation for him was the feedback that he got from the team. We are not a marketing machine – we are a race team! I am not blaming anybody in the pit lane, but we are more a racing family than a machine. And he started to feel very comfortable with our crew after he realised that we are racing people!
Q: You said that the absence of Robert Kubica after his accident was the biggest blow to the team last season. Will Raikkonen help fill the void?
EB: Right away – yes! Because in terms of team morale and motivation – and even team guidance – he is there, because he is a guy that knows what he wants. I promise you he is committed and, as I just said, he knows what he wants.
Q: What is it that you expect from the 'Iceman'? His reputation precedes him but after two years away will he struggle?
EB: I know already that he is not struggling.
Q: Is that after his running on the opening day of this week's test?
EB: Yes – I have seen how he has been driving. Without even looking at the times, you can see from the line that he was cruising around the track on and how he uses the car. I am sure that he will need some time to find the last tweaks to be 100 per cent sure, but believe me, he is there!
Q: How much time will it take until he is back at the performance level of a race winner?
EB: He will be a potential race winner if we give him an adequate car. Obviously this is the package that he needs to have. My guess is that at the beginning of the European 'season' he will be ready.
Q: You needed a big name to join the team in its first season as Lotus and Raikkonen needed a drive as he wanted to return to Formula One racing. The pressure is on for both sides, which could prove explosive. Are you ready for it?
EB: Do you know any world championship contender – either team or driver – that was not explosive? And I don't really see it as explosive in any way. Sure, for a team named Lotus it is a benefit having a big name. It's a perfect match because we were looking for somebody with his background, experience, charisma and speed, but he also was looking for a team to join to make a good return into Formula One. And the match is working. Obviously we all don't know right now how it will develop, but from what we have experienced over the last weeks we can be positive. Nothing can be worse than what we have experienced in the past. Let's take it easy.
Q: The team's 2011 season started with an absent star driver, a replacement who struggled and a driver in just his second season. The team's 2012 season starts with a driver who hasn't been in the sport for two years and a virtual rookie in Romain Grosjean. What did you learn last year that could help this year?
EB: What a tricky question! You never know how people will develop. Sometimes you believe it will be a perfect fit – and it is not – and sometimes the unexpected comes your way and it becomes the missing link which in turn produces a sharp step forward. In the end it all boils down to the human combinations. The fit between you and other people. And then comes the performance of the car, the team's performance and everything else that makes a Formula One team tick. Robert's accident was completely unexpected and from there we had to react. I have to say I believe that we were still doing well under those circumstances. But strategy-wise, I am happy that Genii has kept their faith in the team and they are going with us down another path, as I now believe that this is the path that we always wanted to take.
Q: Romain Grosjean's first experience of Formula One racing was tough. How can you help?
EB: In 2009 he replaced a driver without any testing at all to take over a car that was not easy to drive for a team that was completely focused on Fernando Alonso. He was not ready and he was not given a real chance. When he came to see me 15 months ago to discuss his future I told him that he had to recover first as a driver. He had lost confidence and had to rebuild, so I sent him racing in many different categories to get his feet on the ground again and to improve his reputation in Enstone again. He'd won every category that he had ever raced in and then his career spiralled when he got his Formula One chance. In 2011, as well as winning the GP2 title, he was our reserve driver which was a role that didn't come with any pressure but allowed him to gain back the trust from the engineers in our factory. And little by little he did it and the practice session he took part in last season helped him regain that respect. It will not be easy for him alongside Kimi, who is fast and a strong character, but Romain has to be ready. This is not a nursery and if you want to survive and be successful you have to fight. Kimi is not the political person that Fernando was, but Kimi is like a rock – an icy rock – so don't expect any warmth!
Q: Force India almost caught you in the constructors' standings. This year they are aiming to take fifth place from you…
EB: There are too many maybes and ifs! Yes, they were almost catching us at the end. We know why and have learnt from that. So let the past be the past. Of course we are focusing on breaking into the top four now – like we should have done last year if it had been the year that we had planned. Sure the forward exhausts were brave – possibly too brave – but that was all in 2011.
Q: Raikkonen is spending the first two days of this test in the car. What has his feedback been like so far?
EB: Kimi is very confident and he is very happy with the car, its balance and handling. We are heading into a long test programme that hopefully will bring some satisfaction in Melbourne for all of us. The chemistry is already working well.

So things have been pretty hard for the past two weeks - with momentary bright spots. When Ingram's first friend lost his battle with cancer two weeks ago, it was hard for us emotionally (not that we needed to be concerned with how we felt in a moment like that - but it was, nonetheless). I had enough going on that I could get by without dwelling on it too much. Ashley, on the other hand, was definitely affected by it. When we found out last weekend that another of our friends, one of the closest friends we have made at St. Jude, was not doing well, it got to both of us. There is a commonality you have with people you go through crises alongside. Our hearts broke for the families, people we've sat with and shared our fears and hopes. And in this situation, you start to look at them as evidence that things will go well. Their little guys are full of energy and have been through so much; therefore, Ingram can do it too. But when they don't do well, it forces you to accept that this is a possible outcome for Ingram as well as every other child we see at St. Jude. It is a harsh reminder that you're not guaranteed to be in the percentage of those who beat childhood cancer (not that you ever really forget).
Making things more difficult, Ingram finally looks like he is battling cancer. With his hair gone, him losing weight, and chemo catching him a little bit more this time; he no longer looks like a normal little three-year-old. Incidentally, it does make it a little bit easier having 17 coworkers and a good friend shave their heads in solidarity with Ingram. That was unexpected and meant more to our family than people can imagine. I've always thought is was a little bit dramatic to do things like that. But going through the fire with your son has a way of changing perspectives. Now, I think it is incredibly selfless and equally encouraging. But the bottom line is that Ingram definitely looks like he is sick now. And subconsciously that can get to you. Our closest friends moved to the Dominican Republic for a year on Thursday. We are having some academic struggles with school this year - already. Our dog ate part of the fabric off the only nice set of chairs we have ever bought. Our invisible fence was cut and the chair-eating dog escaped mid-week (I was tempted to let him keep running). We couldn't let him be outside or he would run off, nor inside lest he eat more fabric. Our Fall schedule is proving to be nutty with soccer six days a week, travel, etc... All-in-all, there is a lot going on right now, cumulatively making life a bit more challenging and testing our emotional limits. Of course, God is always there as He proved to be this past week. That's another of those quaint little sayings we put on refrigerator magnets but that I've never been forced to fully comprehend. It's nice to say when everything is going great. It's a completely different thing when you're in the middle of the valley.
To the point... Friday was a fun day. I ended up going with Ashley and Ingram to St. Jude for our meeting with George Ross, Executive Vice President of Trump Organizations. Mr. Ross has been a donor to St. Jude and was visiting the hospital for the first time with his sweet wife, daughter, and son-in-law. St. Jude is hoping to get Mr. Ross involved in a project that is close to our heart. We told the Rosses about our experience at St. Jude and Ingram passed out "Mingram the Conrer" wristbands. For some reason, after having them for several weeks, Ingram is now intent on giving his wristbands to everyone (including the four people working at Moe's tonight). The Rosses seemed to be overwhelmed by their visit to St. Jude. We hope they choose to continue helping St. Jude in the future and we hope Mr. Ross can get "The Donald" involved (he could start by shaving his head with Ingram which would surely look better than the coif he's been sporting for the last decade). We know Donald Trump owns the best buildings in the world, the best golf courses, the best hotels, and that he is the best businessman in the world. We know because he's told us! It only makes sense for him to get involved with one of the best children's hospitals in the world!
We also had to do labs on Friday and Ingram had to have another blood transfusion. His hemoglobin was too low again. They are supposed to be lethargic when their red cells are low. Of course, "lethargic" isn't in Ingram's dictionary yet. He wanted me to chase him all morning it seemed. He would run and run and run and giggle and giggle. It was cute, and definitely did not look like his red cells were low. But, they were. That means a 2 hour visit turns into an all-day jamboree. We had labs on Sunday also and took the whole family. Unfortunately, he had to have a platelet transfusion because they were low also. He had a reaction to the proteins and had trouble breathing, but they got it fixed fairly quickly. His white cell count is back out of the emergency zone so he can finally take off his mask in public. We still have to be careful, but he is relieved to not have to wear the mask anymore (I think he would rather be stuck with a needle than wearing that mask around).
The weekend wasn't all spent at St. Jude. We also had friends over Friday and Saturday. On Friday, Mr. David let Ingram shave his head despite his pending marriage to Miss Laurie next Spring. Miss Laurie was a good sport even though her fiance went from having Prince Harry hair to Shane Battier hair - most of us would say that wasn't a good trade! Then again, very few people shave their heads with Ingram in hopes of looking better! The Whelan's came over Saturday and we fired up the fireplace and made Lindsey's favorite - smores.

My wife and I love to go out into the the local canyons and explore. I had read about Miller hill . So we decided to trek out to see it. We had tried several times before we found out we were taking the wrong trail. The text below is from the seperate pages of photos from my old site.
Miller Hill is surrounded by the Mary Ellen Gulch on its southwest, the main canyon on the north and south and a low divide between Mary Ellen Gulch and Mineral Basin. Miller Hill is named after Jacob and William Miller who lived in Park City Utah. The Millers had been working the area to some extent with mules and plows. In 1871 they sold their claims to the Aspinwall Steamship Company of New York. The mountain still bears their name today. The mountain was a main site of mining activity in the canyon.
On January 19 1906 just after noon, George Tyng was in his cabin office when an avalanche occurred and crashed down through his cabin killing him. His body was hauled down the canyon to American Fork. His will was read and it stated that he wanted to be buried just below his boarding house on Miller Hill. His body was taken back up the canyon on toboggans and on January 30 1906 he was laid to rest on top of Miller Hill. This story was originally taken from www.americanforkcanyon.com. Unfortunately the site no longer exists.
There are thousands of wildflowers along the trail. The aspen forests are thick and beautiful. It was interesting reading the carvings in the trees. Some of the dates on the trees are from 1911. It was interesting to think that miners traveled this road beginning over 125 years ago.
A big part of this website is to document our travels and to promote off-road adventures. Driving off road can be relaxing and beautiful. In the 10 years that I have owned a jeep I have spent hundreds of hours driving in the wilderness. I can't believe the scenery and the wildlife I have been able to see. It can be done with a very low impact on the environment. I want those who aren't familiar with the sport or with the outdoors to be able to experience it from the web.
Our Jeep. It is a 2002. We bought it new last summer. It has a 3 inch Teraflex lift with Teraflex disconnects. We run 18.104.22.168 BF Goodrich AT's. This set up has been great. We flex better and we don't seem to drag bottom as often. We really love exploring Utah in it.

Two's company; three's allowed.
Reece Hutton conducts his life between the covers – of books and beds. A librarian by day, in the evenings he's a man whose tastes are anything but vanilla. So when local writer Daniel Cross appears in the library one afternoon with the aim of doing some research, Reece has a hard time not noticing how attractive he is, or what feels like chemistry between them. They exchange a few words and Daniel's business card, an interlude which Reece puts down to networking rather than flirtation.
After all, he has his girlfriend Georgia to go home to and her best friend: a threesome to help his birthday go literally with a bang. Reece, being a gentleman (most of the time), has no objection to returning the favour, especially as his new friend Daniel seems all too willing to be their third for the evening. Georgia sees their triangle as nothing more than a temporary bit of fun but Reece…? He'll eventually have to own up to breaking the unwritten rules of their relationship or close the book on a growing attraction to Daniel.

Chapter 1
Cradling the receiver, I groaned. Another meaningless phone call from another staff member in another department calling the wrong desk about a problem I couldn't help them with.
Someone cleared his throat on the other side of the counter. "Excuse me?"
Throwing "Just leave your books there and I'll see to them," his way, my breath caught for an instant as I looked up. For a moment I believed I'd been accosted by a diabolical visitation rather than a patron.
"I wonder if you could help me." He slipped off his shades. Unusual to see someone wear shades indoors, and if the glass, mirrors, and white-tiled floors of the library's reception area didn't gleam so much, I'd have thought he was a pretentious tosser.
What I was supposed to make of the narrowest of black lines on his lower lids I didn't know, but evidently the kind of 'someone' to wear shades to the library was the kind of guy who also wore eyeliner.
His lips twitched, probably in response to my raised eyebrows. "I assume the library has WiFi?"
WiFi. Come on, Hutton. You know the answer to this one. "Yes. Yes, it does." I'd worked in the city's Central Library for over six months now; the answer should have come to me a lot quicker than that, but something had done a Ctrl+A, Delete on my brain.
"Is there a charge for it?"
"No, it's free. You just connect to the guest network and you're in. The reception's probably best over there—" I'd barely finished pointing when he interrupted.
"I'd prefer to work in this department; much quieter." He grinned, and I wondered if it was the sterile decor of the foyer to my right, with light streaming in through the glass ceiling, that made his teeth gleam. "Too much foot traffic and too many conversations going on over there." He gave a short burst of laughter and shrugged. His black leather jacket squeaked in protest, strained by the weight of his laptop bag slung over one shoulder. He pushed a pile of hardbacks toward me and stood back, stroking his jaw.
It was just quiet enough for me to hear the scritch scratch of palm on stubble.
"Right, well, I'll take care of these, then," I said, averting my gaze. The unflinching nature of his eye contact made me uncomfortable. Wordlessly he said yes, I wear eyeliner and I'm confident enough to make unbroken eye contact too. There was a forceful element to his presence, as if in looking at me, he tried to force me to look back at him. I bet he'd never considered not being the centre of attention in his life.
Laughing under my breath at my reaction to a total stranger, I reached for the top book of the pile before glancing up, and he flinched. Turned his back and headed for the study area right at the back of General Lending.
I must have run the scanner over the books' bar codes but didn't hear the first four beeps, so accustomed was I to the routine nature of the job. I'd changed employers, moving over from the city's university in search of better pay and more sociable hours. The drudge work wasn't much different, except now I dealt with members of the public as opposed to students alone. There was more variety to the people I got to speak to each day, and sometimes that was good, sometimes bad.
Lifting my gaze, I looked in the direction the dark-eyed Angel of Death had headed. He wasn't in my line of sight anymore, but I shivered like a guilty thing surprised.
Hutton, for God's sake, get a grip.
One more book to return, and when the scanner beeped, I looked at the computer screen. No overdue books in this eclectic collection checked out by Daniel Cross.
So that's his name.
"Did you see that?" my colleague Katie asked on her return, looking away from me and craning her neck to see the back of the room.
"What?" Feigning disinterest, I gathered Mr. Cross's books into one pile again.
"That tall drink of…" Slipping behind the counter, she lowered her voice to just above a whisper. "That tall drink of water who's just set up his laptop."
"Oh him," I drawled. "Well, Katie, if I were a woman or a gay guy, I might pay attention. But as I'm not…" I shrugged and pretended I'd never been naked in bed with another man before. "I tend not to notice when other men walk in."
She tutted loudly—for a librarian. "Ugh. You're no fun."
"What you mean is," I said, backing away, "I'm not a girl you can gossip with. Well, I need to put these"—I hoisted the books in my arms, shuffling them almost—"back over there." And I nodded in the general direction of a random shelf unit. "So you'll just have to man the telephones yourself."
"Goddamn it, Reece, if I have to deal with another drunk guy who spends half an hour swearing up and down he knew Dostoevsky when he was a lad, I'll—"
"Have fun." I winked and turned my back, shoulders shaking with barely suppressed laughter.
This guy was better read than I was, judging by the spines of the novels I reshelved, and I worked here. Still, if he was hanging out in a library with a laptop, perhaps it was in his job description to be a bookworm. A reviewer maybe, or a writer of some sort?
Not expecting to find anything of note, I scanned the C shelves, looking for his name, finding nothing. Just because the guy had a laptop didn't mean he was a writer, and even if he was a writer, that didn't make him a novelist. Hell, maybe he was just killing time between jobs and the laptop was for playing games. I could always check the computerised catalogue later to see if we had anything of his in, but again, that was on the assumption he was a published author and an author of novels at that.
I caught sight—not that I was looking—of someone unmistakably Daniel raising both hands, and I wondered if he was about to run his fingers through his hair. No, just a two-arm stretch. Of course. Those mussed-up strands were obviously designed to look careless and messy, but he'd probably spent an absolute age on getting them right this morning.
Jesus, Hutton. You never notice these things.
But notice them I did, reasoning a man who left the house wearing even the narrowest smudges of eyeliner behind shades was the type to spend ages in front of the mirror arranging each strand of hair with minute precision.
I had no reason to go anywhere near his desk, littered with his shades, a notepad, pens, and, of course, the laptop. No reason at all, but that was exactly what I did.
"Work or play?" I asked, aiming for casual. Thank God for that. An opening line that doesn't make you sound like an idiot.
Wait. Opening line?
"Huh?" He clasped his hands behind his head, craned his neck as if working out a kink. "Oh. This. Yeah, work. Deadline."
"You're a writer? I wondered."
"Yep. I usually work at home, but I had to get out. It's driving me mad, staring at the four walls and a blank computer screen."
"Writer's block?"
"Good Christ, no. I don't believe in all that shit." He laughed, and from anyone else such laughter would resound with mockery, but from him—this mysterious Daniel Cross—it merely said, Me? I'm above all that. "Just an excuse used by lazy gits who prefer talking about not writing than actually getting their arse in the chair and fingers on the keyboard." He shrugged. "Sometimes it takes a bit more work to get the words out, but they're always there. I shake things up from time to time. Change of scenery. Figured I'd get the chance to do some work here. Who knows?"
"Sorry. I—" Didn't mean to disturb you. But I did. I took a faltering step back.
"No, no. Please." He waved a dismissive hand and sat forward, leaning in to his laptop. "I wasn't complaining about your interruption. I'm not in the zone yet anyway. Just kicking a few ideas around."
"If you don't mind me asking…" I felt like a nervous schoolboy. "What do you write?"
"Novels. Well, two so far. That is, one's published and the other's out soon." He chuckled, looked down at his hands and up at me again. "Working on the first draft of my next one. Got some short stories out there too. Magazine articles here and there."
"You're, like, a published author, then?"
I could have sworn his cheeks coloured before he answered. "Well, yes, I am."
"I wonder if we have your book in stock." I frowned, recalling my cursory, fruitless search minutes before.
"See, this is where I fail. I'm supposed to whore my books out to all and sundry, but it feels too much like I'm"—elbows on the desk, he buried his face in his palms for a few seconds and, when he reemerged, took a deep breath—"bragging."
"It's not bragging if someone asks, is it? If it makes you feel any better, I'll buy it instead of checking it out of the library. That way when the royalties start rolling in, I'll own one of the stitches in your Ferrari's upholstery." Ugh, Hutton. What is up with you?
He shook his head. "No, no, don't do that. Uh, I don't usually do this, but I'm assuming you're something of a bookworm? Unless this is just a job to you? Anyway." He lowered his gaze for a moment. Shyly.
I cocked my head to study him while he spoke. Yes, study. He had a face that begged to be looked at.
"I could give you one of my author copies. On one condition."
"Which is?" I lifted my eyebrows. Ten minutes ago, I'd had no idea who this guy was. And yet now we were about to enter into some sort of bargain? Agreement? Whatever it was, the conversation wouldn't end here. Thank God. And the relief pulsed through me like the dying echoes of panic.
"If you hate it, you must let me know."
"Then we'll definitely have to keep in touch," I blurted out, relief performing a one-eighty and again becoming panic. Fuck. What did I just say?
He grinned. "Oh I haven't"—he held out a hand—"introduced myself. Daniel Cross."
"Yes, I know." I bit my lip. "I mean, when I checked your books back in, your name showed on the computer screen." I stared at his hand for a second and realised what I was supposed to do. "Oh. I'm Reece." Nervous of taking his hand, I did so anyway, and his was a warm, confident handshake without being forceful. I couldn't wait to let go and, at the same time, didn't want to.
"Reece. I assume you have a surname, Reece?"
Yes. I know I do. Somewhere in my brain, it's… Now wait. Gimme a minute… "Hutton. Reece Hutton."
"Pleased to meet you, Reece Hutton." Daniel Cross winked and only then let go of my hand, began to search through the pockets of his jacket, flung over the back of his chair. "Now where did I…? I know I had them somewhere. Ah, found one."
I looked at the card he handed me, flipped it over, read the details. "You have a business card?"
"Well." He had the good grace to look bashful. "Sometimes it pays to get shameless if you've just about talked someone into reading your book. Send me a text or an e-mail. I'll get a copy to you."
"Makes sense to have a card. Publicity and all that. You might end up snowed under with fan mail, though, if you hand these out."
"Or e-mails telling me what a shitty writer I am, who's got no business being anywhere near word-processing software."
"People say that?" I asked, tucking the card into my back pocket, steadying my hand there.
"Maybe not in so many words. I get complimentary e-mails at times. But you can get one hundred nice ones, and it's the 'you suck cheesy donkey balls' email you remember most." Eyes losing focus, he shook his head. "Still. You put your work out there in the public domain, you gotta take the rough with the smooth." Glancing sideways, he winked. "The royalty cheques soften the blow, though."
Not even remotely less jittery now than when I'd touched him, I swallowed back a knot of nerves and in so doing, cleared the way for my attention—as well as a tangle of arousal—to shoot straight to my groin. "I'd better get back to work. Leave you to it." He winked at you, Hutton. Get a fucking grip. Just a wink. Taking a few steps, I retreated but didn't show my back to him yet. I didn't want to, but I'd need to pretty damn soon if I was going to maintain some semblance of dignity and professionalism.
"Don't forget to text me; I'll get the book to you."
"Sure. I'll be in touch." I turned, headed for the short flight of stairs leading down to the main body of the room again, and, heart thundering, looked over my shoulder before seeking sanctuary on the altar of the main desk.
Yes. Daniel Cross was still looking.
And I was still having trouble breathing.
* * * * *
I arrived home that evening to banging and clattering in the kitchen. As I'd been working late, Georgia had agreed to let herself in with the spare set of keys and start on dinner.
"Start on dinner" involved swearing at the cupboards for not being in the right place or containing whichever pot or pan she sought.
I hung up my jacket and leaned against the kitchen door frame, arms crossed. "This is what I like to see."
"What, the little woman getting dinner on the table? Where the fuck did you leave the olive oil?"
"Me? I didn't use it last. You made that stir-fry and—there, try that cupboard; no, the—see? There it is. And the day you're anyone's 'little woman'—" I couldn't finish the sentence. The thought was too comical. "Although a welcome-home kiss? That I wouldn't object to."
"Not until you say the magic words." Looking over her shoulder, she winked.
"What? 'Hi, honey, I'm home'?" Grinning, I crossed the room and slipped a hand round her waist and pulled her back toward me.
"Mr. Hutton. Is that a gun in your pocket—"
"No; I am just pleased to see you."
Dropping the knife on the chopping board, she laughed. "And I didn't even have to wear the apron and stilettos this time."
"Oh God." I groaned into her neck, thankful her messy blonde ponytail meant I could taste her skin all the sooner.
She wiped her hands on a tea towel and turned around to face me. "Wait till you hear my news."
"Do tell." I had a clue but wanted to hear it from her.
"I met Sarah during my lunch break today."
Round about the time I was shooting the breeze with—"Go on."
"We talked."
"As women do when they get together." I brushed her fringe back off her face, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, worked my other hand underneath the hem of her blouse. It was hard to be in the same room as Georgia Lawrence and not touch her. It'd always been like that, since the first night. Introduced at a party and boom, two hours later, naked. Admittedly not in the room in which we'd met; that would have been a bit much, even by our liberal standards. We'd had the decency to go back to my place first, but from an eight o'clock "Hey, I'm Reece" to her screaming that very name took a couple of hours and a taxi ride home. Nice work, Hutton.
"And I think you'll like what we said."
"Hmm?" I murmured, still distracted by the low vee of her neckline. Nuzzling into her neck, I worked at the top button, just to deepen that neckline and make the view even more—
"Reece. Are you listening? 'Cause I really think you'll like this."
"I'd like it even more if you had fewer clothes on."
"Reece!" Georgia smacked my hand away, laughing when I put it right back where it had been, working at another button. "I spoke to Sarah at lunchtime." She sighed when I undid the last button and pulled her blouse open.
"And?" Running my fingertips over the swell of her breast, I waited for the catch in her throat and—there. Caught breath and I had her attention. "You were saying?"
"It's hard to keep my mind on the conversation when you're doing that."
"Do you want me to stop?"
"I didn't say that."
"You were telling me about Sarah." Even pushing the cup of her bra aside, letting my palm touch the nipple as I cupped Georgia's breast made me harder. God, I wanted her. I didn't know what had gotten into me, but whatever it was, I liked it. It wasn't even the thought of Georgia and Sarah discussing what they'd met up to discuss; I'd been turned on before I got home.
Maybe that was it. I'd known this conversation was coming. I'd known the time of confirmation or denial was soon.
"She said yes."
My hand still on Georgia's breast, I flinched, fingers contracting momentarily. "She said…?" The nipple hardened between my thumb and forefinger. "She said yes?" Cradling Georgia's face in both hands, I kissed her, and straightaway our tongues met, not bothering with gentle overtures, just desperate, deep kisses, which came with familiarity and the certainty this was going to be fucking hot.
Pulling away, Georgia managed to mutter, "She did," before kissing me again and hooking her leg round mine.
"I really have no idea what I did to deserve a woman like you, you know," I murmured against her neck. Her skin was so soft and warm, I could touch her for hours without getting bored.
"You must have been a dirty pervert in a former life."
"Works for me." I listened for the gasp as I worked a fingertip past the edge of her thong; she always wore the briefest slivers of underwear, thank God. "Christ, you're wet."
"Former life and—oh God, Reece." Georgia pushed against me, and my finger slipped inside easily. And another. "And this one."
"You must have been thinking of me before I got home."
"I was thinking of you and Sarah."
Instant arousal jolted through me like electricity. "Fucking hell, Geo. You're…"
"Well, we have to do something to make your birthday go with a bang."
"It will that, all right." It took reserves of self-control I didn't know I had to move slowly, to stroke her from the inside and listen to the quiet gasps heaving her chest. She tried to resist pushing back against me; I knew it. And failed. With only two fingers moving against her G-spot, I was in control, her hips following me every time I threatened to withdraw.
"Don't stop." Georgia gripped my arm, held it steady, and tried to push against me harder, but I resisted, moving away as she came forward. "Reece."
Laughing quietly, I let my breath whisper over her skin, the curve where her neck became shoulder. "If we get too carried away, I might have to take you into the bedroom and fuck you."
"Then do it." Her voice, absent of hesitation, sent a wave of anticipation rippling up my spine. "I dare you."
Withdrawing my fingers from her pussy, I gave her clit the merest hint of pressure with the heel of my hand, smiling in triumph when she gasped. "Ask nicely."
"I said…" Drawing her earlobe between my lips, I nipped it gently, just enough to make her flinch. "I said, ask nicely. I want you to remember your manners."
"Once more with feeling, Miss Lawrence." I circled her clit with one finger, not touching it, just promising to. But not yet. "Please what?"
"Please. I want you to just—" She gulped. "I want you to fuck me. Now."
"With pleasure." I didn't even look behind me, just hauled her by the wrist to the bedroom, shut the door, and threw her up against it. "Christ, I've been thinking about you all day." No you haven't. "I was desperate to get home tonight," I breathed, all but tearing her blouse off and dropping it beside us. No you weren't. You were busy. No, not busy. Occupied.
"God, Reece." Georgia grabbed me by the waist and pulled me against her. "What is with you?"
"Are you complaining?" I couldn't remember the last time I'd been this hard, this desperate to get inside her, this keen to prove something. "Turn around." Hands on her waist, I made her obey. "Hands flat against the door."
Turning her head to the side, she laughed. "What are you gonna do? Arrest me?"
"You want me to cuff you?"
All I got in reply was a quiet, seductive moan.
"Now. Hands. Against the door."
Her left hand came up, nails clicking against the hard wood. Then her right. "Now what?"
"Stay where you are. No. Movement. Don't move an inch." Christ, she was gorgeous. So willing, so compliant, so eager to please, so fucking dirty. And mine. I helped her off with her thong, pulling it past her knees, and she kicked it off completely. "Remember what I said? Don't move. No peeking. Stay. Where. You. Are." Resting my hands on her hips, I kissed her neck once before backing away, smiling when she flinched.
Her head inclined ever so slightly. She didn't break the rules, but she did shudder when I opened the bedside cabinet drawer.
"See?" I pointed out. "Nothing more ominous than this." And I said nothing more, letting the silence emphasise the tearing foil when it came.
In seconds I had my belt and zip undone and the condom on, wondering how the hell I managed it so quickly with shaking hands. I hadn't wanted her this badly in a while. It was always good between us, but this went way beyond need. This was desperation.
"Shh." One hand on her waist, I pulled her back, worked the tip of my cock inside her, just an inch, waiting for the—
There. "Christ, you are ready for me, aren't you? You're so fucking wet I could just slide my cock all the way in."
She pushed back, but I held her steady.
I murmured against the back of her neck, "Oh no you don't. Stay still." And I gave her more. But didn't go deep. Not yet. "God, I love the sounds you make. I just wish I had the…" Gulping, I closed my eyes, pulled back, fucked her a little deeper. "I wish I had the self-control to draw this out even longer so I could make you moan a bit louder."
Catching the scent of her shampoo, I looked at her hair, still up in that messy ponytail tangled around my hand, and I gave it a tug to hear her gasp.
"But I can't. Fucking. Wait that long." I slammed every last inch of my cock into her so hard the air whooshed out of my lungs in one throaty growl. "Jesus, Georgia. Fucking hell, this. Is. I can't—" Burying my head in the side of her neck, every thrust forcing a gasp out of her and breath I didn't know I had out of me, I fucked her as hard and deep as I could at this angle.
"Jesus, Georgia, I can't—"
"What is it, baby? I'm gonna—" Oh God, don't ask me to stop. Don't tell me to stop, not now when I'm—
Just hearing her say that one word did me in. My knees threatened to buckle, and I braced myself with one hand on her hip, the other against the door, above hers. "Oh fuck. Say that again."
"Fuck me harder, Reece." She tightened her pussy around my cock, almost pulled me in deeper, and I could live for a thousand years and never work out how she did that.
"That's fucking perfect. God, I'm coming, baby. I can't. Fucking. Wait." Blinded by the force of my orgasm, I came, roaring as if pained, legs nearly collapsing under me, but somehow I managed to stay upright, though shaking. "Sorry. Sorry, I just couldn't wait." I eased myself out of her, shifted my weight from one foot to the other to see if I was capable of—literally—standing on my own two feet. "I'll make it up to you. Just let me get rid of the—"
"I know what you were doing."
I jerked my head up.
She didn't move. "You were thinking of someone else, weren't you?"
My blood turned to ice water. Not trusting myself to speak, I waited for her to break the silence.
"Come on, Reece. After the conversation we've just had?"
A second's delay, waiting for the penny to drop. "Oh. Oh."
"You thought I wouldn't realise?" This time she turned her head as far as she could, looking over her shoulder. "You won't have to pretend it's someone else for very long. Just wait till your birthday."
My blood, still cold but now tainted with guilt—or relief—flowed again.
Of course. She thought—
"If you're like that on your birthday, well, God help the two of us. Actually, no. God help all three of us."
"Yes. God help us," I murmured and kissed her neck, screwing my eyes shut against the phantom of my conscience. "I wasn't thinking of any other woman, Georgia. Just you. Only you."

I am commentless! look at those huge wing fence, technically how do they stop each wing from stalling.
Great showcase!!! Su-22 the best sukhoi in my opinion.
Im gonna buy some stock in "joint seal" soon!
Strahotna snimka! Bravo!
Nice! The plane that got owned by the F-14. Ah the memories... I miss the F-14... Nice picture btw.
Simply said, BRAVO !
I see Su-25UB,Su-22M4,Su-25, exelent shot!
Awesome composition, a nice backdrop and of course some very interesting aircraft!
Su-22 is F-14 missile's best friend :)
Man, I have to admit that this is one of the best photos on A.net. I call it a very impressive display of Bulgarian air power, at it's finest. All three jets appear like they're ready to kick some serious butt, sitting pretty out on the runway like that. Except they don't have weapons under their wings. Still very cool.
This shot is nostalgic
Amazing! Glad to see you finally got it in.
Check out that hexagonal runway contruction! Great photo!
Great Photo. Because of the design of the wing, it stalls at the root first. The fences keep the disturbance from the stall from traveling all the way down the wing, thus allowing the flight surfaces to maintain control through the stall.
Ohhh my god,the best military picture
Very extraordinary and beautiful! Were these planes taken to the runway especially for making this photo or they were just parked there? Anywhay, great shot!
Great planes, great picture! Bylgari iunaci!!!
They appear to be saying "You wanna mess with us?" Great composition!
This pic is different because the a/c are not standing on clean neat pavement. Those tiremarks make this picture really special.
You got just the right height on this photo,
Great photo ,congratulations!
Nice photo
What a wonderful shot!
Such a lovely angle on the Su-22
Great pucture
