It's the third night in a row.
My left wrist is tied to the bed frame. "Please don't tie my other one. I promise I won't move it," I plead. And I don't.
His tongue shoves between my labia. Stubbly, now. No different than his beard. Almost violent licking and sucking.
"Taste yourself." He rubs his face on mine.
His collarbone is pronounced in his position and in this light. His shoulder looks stronger, more powerful.
His movements are purposeful. Not calculated, not yet. But he knows what he wants.
The first orgasm spreads over me, all over my entire body.
My legs are trembling as he bends down to relentlessly assault my nipples. Only, I tacitly agree to the onslaught. His massive cock unceasing in its goal.
There's the second one.
He's shoving himself in my face now. I lick and suck and writhe. Once more he moves back down to fuck me.
The third is a surprise.
Back up to straddle my chest, to drill into my open mouth, to stretch my aching jaw to the limit.
He grabs my hand, placing it on his cock. Very soon after, my chest and neck are covered. "For the third night in a row, that's a lot." I clean up using his pajama pants.
My wrist is freed from the rope. I loose the other one from the invisible bond I'd placed on it.
This night, there's not much after-talking. Just the comfort of knowing we're getting it right, once more again.

Windows Server 2012: We defluff Microsoft's 'cloud' OS
Reg readers had their say in a lunchtime chat
Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra's Agentless Software
Live Chat Microsoft calls Windows Server 2012 part of its "cloud operating system". In a field loaded with subjective and loaded terms, Microsoft is surely adding to the confusion.
Say "cloud", and you think Amazon, Google, VMware – but Microsoft?
Yet Windows Server 2012 brings changes in scalability, management and flexibility that are helping turn the tide on one member of that triumvirate – VMware. This is because customers are starting to switch to Hyper-V, the Windows hypervisor-based virtualisation system which comes bundled in with Windows Server 2012, rather than paying extra for VMware.
All-About-Microsoft's Mary Jo-Foley; Reg regular and ITwriting author Tim Anderson; MVP and co-author of the Great Big Hyper-V Survey Aidan Finn, representing Microsoft; and fellow Reg readers joined a Live Chat to talk about what's in Windows Server 2012 and why exactly it's starting to turn the tide on market-leader VMware.
We looked at why enterprises are likely to upgrade now rather than later and worked out where Windows Server 2012 fits into a Redmond cloud story that also contains Windows Azure.
Is this a "software data centre", a "cloud OS" or server marketing BS?

Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider
closed sources are never a good idea
I work in a mostly MS Windows environment and for us MS products are not bad. But if one ever will have to change things, hard- or software related - MS puts major obstacles in the way to change. And then even the proprietary "free" stuff suddenly gets very expensive, if not preventing a transition at all. I will prefer VMware and in my opinion the initial costs and TCO are not higher than with MS. And it runs many different flavors of OSes since long without giving problems when changing.
expensive for worse
Windows server is obsolete, unless it's used for something MS specific like Exchange.
For real enterprise computing, Linux servers require less admin, they're more scalable, more robust, more secure and faster. And licence costs and management overhead is zero (no danger of confiscation of servers for suspected licence violation).
In summary a Linux box will do the same work as two windows boxes and require probably about 1/10th the system admins to run them.
Also <joke alert> Linux servers do not have the Metro interface</joke alert>
Most importantly - Linux servers are open source, you can inspect the source for back-doors and compile and build - a must-have in these days of cyber warfare and criminals stealing data.
because customers are starting to switch to Hyper-V, the Windows hypervisor-based virtualisation system which comes bundled in with Windows Server 2012, rather than paying extra for VMware.
This is probably one of the most important points... I haven't tried the latest version of Hyper-V, but certainly on previous versions VMWare was markedly superior. However when it comes to a price comparison, free (convenient) and separately paid for are very different choices and while as soon as you start expanding your requirements Hyper-V prices do stack up, it's the initial hurdle that's one that can be hard to beat. MS is just front loading convenience to get users used to Hyper-V as a form of lock in for later and it's something that VMWare would find hard to counter in a similar fashion without losing a large proportion of their income.

Most Diaspora ministries are focused on host nation Christians reaching immigrants in their respective countries. They have adopted an ethnic specific approaches or the retired missionaries who worked on those regions of the world where the immigrants come from are involved in befriending these new neighbors. But more need to be done and more Christians need to wake up to the changing demographics of the world as a result of migration.
The children of immigrants are one the most overlooked group of people. They are the fastest growing segment in the United States (might be true in other parts of the world). They do not appear on the radars of many western churches or mission strategists. No wonder they are called 'hidden generation.' The potential they hold are immense for evangelization of ethnic minorities and reaching host nations as well as future missionary forces are going to come out of these displaced people groups.
There is no doubt that immigrant life is hard, but the life of immigrant children is even harder. Immigrants struggle for survival, finding work, providing for the family, adjusting to the new world etc. But for children of immigrants, the struggle has to do with the notion of their identity, belonging and vocational commitment. They suffer from double marginalization - first on account of their ethnicity, and secondly due to generational differences. They become a minority within a minority in the multiethnic, multicultural world of the West and this acute marginality eats them up from the inside.
Most second generation young adults feel torn between being ethnic and being American, a predicament shaped by their upbringing in an ethnic household and American socialization. Having grown up in a homogenized culture back in their homelands, the first generation is often unaware and insensitive to the struggles of the second generation in discovering their identities in a new land. Their immigrants parents they are getting too westernized and their American peers think they are ethnic. It is painful to be misunderstood by everyone around you as no one really sees who you really are!
Adult children of the immigrant churches are dropping out at record numbers (seen in many Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Hispanic and Asian Indian churches in US and Canada). They are disillusioned by immigrant religiosity and most ethnic ministries ignore them completely. The first generation becomes deeply entrenched in their childhood faith practices for cultural identification and for a sense of community, but the second generation is showing greater openness to the gospel as a result of assimilation. Another interesting reality is that second generation reaching their immigrant parents.
Reaching the next generation with the Gospel is more strategic for another reason – cross-cultural diffusion. As a result of cultural assimilation, they engage scripture more deeply to make sense of for their in-betweenness, They seek identity beyond ethnicity or language and community beyond food or liturgy. They increase translatability factor of the gospel, which has been critical for Christian expansion throughout history.
Some Christian traditions are more focused on preservation of its cultural distinctive and practices. But the history of Christianity shows that it has continually changed as it embraced new frontiers. In scripture we find numerous examples of how minority second generation advancing the Kingdom like Moses or Paul. Immigrant second generation is carving out a new frontier for the evangelization of the world in the 21st century. Will we raise some Moseses and Pauls for the 21st century?

The Lofotr Viking Museum is a reconstruction of the 83 metres long Chiefdom that was erected at Borg in the Lofoten Islands around 500 AD. Travel there by car or bus from Svolvær and Henningsvær in the east, or Leknes in the west.
For a full dinner with presentations of life in the Viking age, done by professional guides in Viking costumes, you must book in advance. It is worth the extra planning. Lamb and wild boar are popular ingredients on the menu, served with the traditional Viking drink mead, which is alcohol, honey and herbs.
You do not have to book in advance to see the museum. Just have a stop on your way through the islands.
During the main season, from 15 June to 15 August, broth will be served in the banqueting hall every day. You can also ask to taste mead, served in traditional Viking glasses.
There are also fixed daily departures for rowing trips on the Viking ship in the same period.
In 2011, the Lofotr Viking Museum completed is a major development - in addition to the chieftain's house, Lofotr now boasts two great exhibitions and its own movie (The Dream of Borg), which is shown in the museum's own cinema every 20 minutes throughout the year.
Guided tours are included in the entrance ticket, and there are several tours during the day. Look for information when you arrive, or call in advance for more detailed information. Groups have to order guided tours in advance.
When you enter the Viking chieftain's house, it is like being transported back to the Viking Age. Light flickers from the hearts and gleams from the ceiling lamps, and the smell of tar fills your nostrils.
Archaeological studies commenced here in 1983, and from 1986 to 1989, a joint Scandinavian research project was conducted at Borg. Excavations brought to light remains of the largest building ever to be found in the Viking Realm, in Norway or elsewhere in Europe.
For the first time, archaeologists were sure they had found a chieftain's dwelling. The excavations revealed that a 67-metre long building had been erected as early as in the sixth century. It was rebuilt and expanded in the beginning of the Viking Era to a length of 83 metres.
