"Wow," thought Mike as he looked around at the gorgeous women strewn about the room all dressed in the sexist of clothes.
"It's just like a candy shop."
He watched two young women dressed identically as school girls (or maybe they were real school girls). Plaid mini-skirt; white blouse; loose short tie; little white lace topped ankle socks and wearing 4 inch, black patent stiletto heels. They finished their champagne and put down their glasses. He continued to watch transfixed, as they lovingly looked into each other's eyes, or rather stared intensely, each focused on wanting the other.
Still focusing on each other's eyes, their faces moved closer together, then lingered as if they were savoring each other's perfume. Their noses touched. Their red lips opened. They kissed slowly, their tongues intermittently on display as they probed in and out of each mouth, sharing their saliva. Their bodies and breasts writhed together. Their long fingers ran roughly through each of the others hair, pulling their faces closer and only just managing to maintain their standing position.
Clearly needing to explore as much of each other as possible, their hands moved downwards, caressing their breasts and body. Mike could now see they were both bra-less, their nipples hinting through the flimsy material and causing the tell tale nipple bulge. One of the girls unbuttoned a blouse and taking a nipple between her long red painted fingers, pinched hard and pulled up and out, causing gratifying and pleasurable pain. The nipple stayed hard and she repeated the act to the second breast, this time licking the tip as well, making it shiny with her saliva. She looked up into her friends eyes once more with that, "I really want to fuck you" look, but not saying a word.
Descending still further, their hands stroked along their thighs until finally reaching their plaid mini-skirts. No panties, no obstacles.
Still standing, one of the girls now probed the others cunt with her long fingers. One finger. Then two fingers. She briefly removed them and brought them up to her mouth to lick the juices and to apply lubricating spit. Using those same fingers, she went hard on her friend's clit. Her friend began to writhe, head thrown back. She felt her own breasts, cupping them fully and squeezing gently, all the while her friend worked her clit with her fingers.
They stopped suddenly.
Needing more, much more, they withdrew hand in hand to another room, where a generous supply of toys awaited, desperate for the fucking each was going to give and receive. A couple of guys followed them, the bulge in there trousers apparent, maybe to watch, maybe to join in.
Mike had been at his friend's party for about 15 minutes. He had had a hard-on for about 14 ½ of those minutes. His friend, Steve, whose house this was, was yet to show.
"Where the hell is he, I hate to start without him" Mike thought.
Steve, or Stephen, to those who didn't know him intimately, was one of the richest guys in this part of the country and Mike had been very fortunate to have once been at school with his very rich friend.
The party was a monthly event, put on by a group of rich friends, and as the group had grown it had developed into a kind of elite club. It was called a party but really it was one big orgy. The biggest orgy in town you might say and was dedicated, for the select few, to extreme sex and perversity.
The group consisted of: single guys, married guys, some with their girlfriends', some with mistresses', some with wives, some without. One guy brought his sister another brought his mother (now that's perverted), models, actresses', Ex call girls, single women, etc, etc. You get the picture. The fact was they were all there for one thing; extreme fucking and sexual gratification. This wasn't for the faint hearted.
Safe sex in this setting took on a new meaning. There were no condoms here. Every attendee had undergone medical tests to ensure they were physically safe. Every female had to be on birth control. No one wanted a paternity suit or an STD. Just the greatest sex they would ever have, without consequence and with lots and lots of cum.
There was one more stipulation. Whist in the group, participants could only fuck other group members. Casual, random fucking with outsiders was definitely out. This would help to ensure everyone remained safe. The size of group was such that no one's interest waned and very few left the group. This was Mike's second time.
He looked around the large reception room. The early guests were deep in conversation, glasses of Champagne in hand. One guy had his tongue down the back of a redhead's throat, one hand pulling her red hair the other feeling her huge breasts. Another guy joined them from behind and he ran his hands up her smooth stockinged legs and inside her skirt, removing her thong. They withdrew, thong in hand, to one of the many rooms arranged for mutual fucking.
Mike stood facing the door, drink in hand. He watched as two of the sexiest women he had ever seen arrived at the party. His cock hardened even more as he watched the two girls walk across the room dressed in short skirts, black seamed stockings and the highest heeled shoes he had ever seen. As he looked closer, he realized their superb breasts were clearly on display through the semi-transparent lacy material they wore. Their makeup impressed him and made them look incredibly sexy and slutty, it definitely turned him on.
"Fuck!" He thought. "These babes are gorgeous. I'm going to have to fuck these."
Sophie and Shelly walked across to the drinks attendant. Their 6 inch heels click clacking as they crossed the floor. Their legs looked so deliciously long walking on tip toe in their ultra high heels and nylon seamed stockings. They walked confidently with that sexy wiggle, their skirts just skimming the tops of their stockings. Their cunt juices were building to a point where not only did they need to be fucked as soon as possible, it meant they were so turned on there wasn't anything they wouldn't do to get off.
As the girls approached the drinks attendant and before he could hand them a drink, Mike jumped in, drinks in hand.
"Hi girls, I'm Mike."
"Not much of a chat up line" thought Shelly.
"Would you like a drink" he added.
He held out the glasses of Champagne and the girls took one each.
"Why thank you…. Mike" Sophie replied, with a slight pause before saying his name, mentally ensuring that she had heard it correctly.
"Yes, thanks Mike" Shelly added politely.
Taking a sip of Champagne, Shelly moved closer to whisper.
"But what we really need is a good hard fucking."
At the same time her hand moved to the front of his trousers to check how hard and big his cock was. She was suitably impressed.
Totally unperturbed, Mike rebounded quick as a flash.
"That's why I'm here. I'm always up for two girls at once."
The girls laughed.
"Mike, we will need more than your ONE cock……. Do you have some friends?" The last remark added somewhat sarcastically.
"Of course, what were you thinking?"
The girls looked at each other.
"You and say….. Another five" Sophie said hopefully.
Mike responded. "No problem, a gangbang it is. Shall we finish our drinks first?"
"Sure" replied the girls, but really wanting to get down to it as soon as possible, as their clits badly throbbed.
For a short while the conversation continued with general chit chat. Mike found out that this was their first time and he gave them compliments about their appearance. The girls probed, finding out who Mike was and what he did and Mike did likewise.
"Have you seen Steve yet" Mike said.
"No, we only know of him through our girlfriend, Kalli. She should be here tonight, but I haven't seen her yet" said Shelly.
"Great, Kalli can join us later" Mike replied.
Mike left them momentarily to round up some friends and Steve if he could find him.
Returning, Mike, his arms around both girls, led them all to another room.
Steve was nowhere to be found
The room was large and reasonably spartan. The decoration however was superb. There were mattresses on the floor and tables around the room holding a selection of sex toys and lubricants. The lighting had been dimmed and the sound of thumping dance music ensued, seemingly to set the rhythm for the mass fucking. The sound level was loud but such that everyone could make themselves heard.
The girls put their handbags to one side. Sophie unzipped her short red mini skirt, revealing her thong and fully displaying her black seamed stockings. She stood proudly in her ultra high heels and see-thorough top.
Not to be out done Shelly took off her mini dress and stood in thong, corset, stockings and her black patent 6 inch stilettos.
The two women looked at each other momentarily not knowing exactly where to start.
"Lick our cunts" Sophie demanded.
The guys were still taking in the sight of the two gorgeous sluts before them, in a kind of stunned amazement. Sophie's order brought them out of their daze and they stripped as quickly as possible. This was made slightly more difficult with their huge erect cocks. Each of the men could be described as 'fit' and obviously worked out. Both Sophie and Shelly were not disappointed.
The girls edged back against the wall, their high heels stretched their leg muscles, their suspenders pulled tight and hence tightening their sheer stockings. Steve came to Sophie. She was in a hurry, Steve wasn't. He kissed her gorgeous red shiny lips. Sophie responded with her tongue. He began to unbutton her lacy blouse, button by button. After the fourth button he pulled her top open to expose her gorgeous breasts supported by her quarter cup bra. He stooped to suck on her red lipsticked nipples, sucking them up hard.
Mike knelt, spread Sophie's legs and thong and with his tongue and fingers began working on her hairless cunt.
At first Sophie looked down as mike worked on her cunt and clit. She could see his thick hard cock and knew that was coming soon, but then the uncontrollable pleasure began to hit home and her head went back in ecstasy. Mike was about to bring his hand around to finger her arse, but she was so horny she came in about 30 seconds, screaming obscenities. She shook with her first orgasm.
Shelly wasn't far behind.
They so needed to get that first orgasm out the way. Now it was game on. The girls certainly didn't need any more foreplay, they needed something much bigger inside of them.
"We need our holes fucked!" One of the girls exclaimed.
The guys looked at each other, not knowing who was going to do what. Shelly organized them.
One guy laid on the mattress his huge cock standing up ready to be speared, Shelly didn't disappoint. Now thong-less, she climbed on the huge cock and reamed it hard into her cunt.
"I need one in my arse" she exclaimed. "Lub me."
One of the guys obliged, using some nearby lubricant. He worked the lub into her rosebud and it gaped as he drove his fingers in and out. Finally he drove his thick cock hard into her arse and up as far as it would go.
Sophie briefly looked on. This was what they had practiced for.
As if she wasn't horny enough, the sight of her sister taking two cocks simultaneously into her cunt and arse, dressed like a slut in black seamed stockings, a corset, 6 inch high heels and proudly showing off her tits, was too much to bear.
If her sister could do it, she could do it better. She shouted at the guy with the biggest cock to get on the mattress. She removed her lacy see through top and with a large amount of lubricant, began lubing her gorgeous arse hole. She mounted the guy on the mattress, who realising what she wanted, banged his cock hard and straight up into her very wet cunt.
"Fuck my arse" she directed one of the guys looking on stroking his cock.
He knelt behind and forced his appendage into her well trained arse. Both guys now fucked Sophie with amazing ease and speed, forcing it hard and alternating their strokes into each orifice. The other two watching now offered their cocks to her mouth. Working both cocks by hand, she closed her cherry red lips over one and in conjunction with her tongue, began to suck hard. Her bangles jangled as her hands worked both cocks. The guy in her mouth wanted more and he forced her head right down, his cock slipping past her tonsils and down her throat. She could only take a small amount of throat fucking before gagging, but it didn't matter as the guy pulled out and shot huge wads of cum over her waiting face. It seemed to keep pumping cum and Sophie made sure it all landed on her face. She looked up at him and smiled, her black eye make-up now covered with sperm, globs of cum hung from her eye lashes. The guy in her cunt came noisily, closely followed by the guy reaming her arse. She adored the sensation of cocks filling her with copious amounts of semen.
Then it came, the uncontrollable pleasure.
"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK….." Sophie screamed as she orgasmed.
Her screams were muffled as the last guy forced his cock into her mouth and she sucked eagerly.
"Let me come on your heels" the guy fucking her mouth insisted.
She removed the cock and looked up.
"I don't give a fucking shit where you come, just shoot."
She span around and taking the thickly slimed cock with her gloved hand, worked it hard. She rubbed it over her nylon stockings and down on towards her shoes. Unbeknown to Sophie another guy who had been watching and wanking, came with a long stream of cum onto her nyloned leg. Using her fingers she scooped the white sperm up from her seamed stockings and sucked the cum into her mouth, licking them clean as the cum dripped from her long red nails.
Knelling, she took the now spent cock and worked some more cum out with her tongue. This final act caused the shoe guy to blow his load on Sophie's 6 ½ inch red patent stilettos. The cock spent, she removed her shoe and holding the high heel in her gloved hand, licked all the cum from the shiny shoe. Using the thin heel like a spoon, she drove it side on across her face so as to retrieve any facial cum. She licked along its length and finally inserted the entire heel into her red lips and all the way into her mouth. She slipped her shoe back on and removed the second shoe to give it a cleanup with her tongue.
Sophie loved the taste of cum and could never get enough.
The guys fucking Shelly had shot they loads into her cunt and arse and she was now looking for more, jealous she hadn't had cock and cum in her mouth like her sister.
The two sisters, stood up, moved towards each other. Horny with excitement they met, looking into each other's eyes.
"You look such a slut Sophie" Shelly said.
Shelly cupped her sister's face. Kissing, they drove their tongues into each other's red lipsticked mouths, Sophie running her lacy gloved hands over Shelly's stockings and back up to her tits. Shelly licked any remnants of cum from Sophie's face.
They moved to the floor.
As if choreographed, Sophie lay on the floor and Shelly mounted her in a 69. The girls spread their legs wide, their lacy hands worked on their stocking tops whilst enthusiastically forcing their tongues and then fingers into each other's cunts and arses. The girls enjoying the cum they managed to gleam from each other's well fucked holes and sucked on their cum covered fingers.
The guys stood and enjoyed the sight, and what a sight it was.
Two gorgeous blond haired sisters in slut make up; sheer black seamed stockings; the highest heeled stilettos; covered in spunk; tonguing each other cunts; forcing their lace covered hands & fingers into each other's wide gaping arses.
Shelly went over the top, closely followed by Sophie, both women shuddering to an orgasm and shaking violently.
"Fist my arse you bitch, I need it hard" ordered Shelly, as her shaking subsided and now wanting even more gratification.
Sophie made a fist and brought it to the entrance of Shelly's gaping rectum. It was well lubed with cum and lubricant and Sophie thought about driving the fist straight into her sisters gaping hole. Instead she started with three fingers, then four, then wrapping her thumb inside her hand, (still in her lace gloves) drove her fist all the way in.
Holding it there for a few seconds, she removed it and started the process again. This speeded up, and she was soon fisting her sister's arse at full speed. Time and again, in and out, Sophie fisted Shelly's gaping hole and Shelly loved it. Her bangles jangled to the rhythm of the music.
"Fist my arse harder, you fucking slut!…. FUCKING HARDER!…HARDER"…
Sophie used two fingers from her other hand to stretch it further, and then three, the slight roughness of the lace increasing the pleasure still further.
"FUCKKKK…YOU SLUT..YOU FUCKING SLUT, FIST FUCK ME HARD, YES FUCKING YES, FUCKING YYYESS…FUCKKKK"….The vocal obscenities continued until Shelly shuddered to another massive orgasm.
It was soon apparent that the guys watching were now very hard again, craving to fuck Shelly's engorged arse hole. One at a time cocks were forced into her wide gaping arse, whilst Sophie tongued her sister's clit. Shelly was having multiple orgasms as each cock shot large amounts of cum into her accommodating hole. At one point two of the guys forced both their cocks into her sphincter with a corresponding amount of semen shot into her rectum. Eventually, the guys were spent and it was left to the two sisters again.
Shelly had finally finished multiple orgasming and realised she should to do something for her sister.
"Sis, I have some cum for you," knowing what her sister craved most.
Shelly sat up and squatted over her sister's mouth. Her heels stretched her leg muscles. The tight corset still maintained her hour glass figure; the suspenders pulled her stocking taught.
placing her lace covered hands behind her; she pulled her arse cheeks apart to reveal her dripping arse hole. Sophie knew what was coming and used her fingers to pull it even further open, revealing even more of Shelly's large gaping, stretched, fuck hole. Shelly began to force the spunk out of her arse and into Sophie's waiting mouth. Long strings of cum were squeezed out onto Sophie's waiting tongue. More and more cum continued to flow. Sophie's cherry red lips now covered in thick white semen, she licked them clean and continuously swallowed. Sophie forced her tongue deep into her sister's rectum, so as to retrieve any final cum that remained.
Shelly dropped forward to attend to her sister's cunt, fisting and tonguing Sophie to another orgasm, her legs wide and open. She pulled them up high as she started to cum. Sophie began to shake as she had her biggest orgasm yet. Such was her love of cum
They stopped for a breather, all temporarily spent.
The guys clapped appreciatively, as if it was a performance and I guess in some ways it was.
Mike knelt down and gently kissed the girls.
"Get cleaned up and I'll get us some drinks."
"Thanks Mike. That was some fuck" Shelly said.
"….and we didn't even know all their names" Sophie added.
"We're such sluts" Shelly concluded.
The guys were spent, but the girls would soon want more.
This was a night that could only get better….
To be continued….

Get ready to dance the Batusi, ladies and germs.
Announced today along with a slew of new merchandise based on ABC's Batman that ran from 1966-68, DC Comics will be launching a new digital-first comic book series this summer, written by Jeff Parker with first issue art by Jonathan Case and covers by Mike Allred, continuing the adventures of Adam West and Burt Ward's Batman and Robin.
Titled Batman '66, the series will launch this summer and feature a structure similar to the old show, with a villain-of-the-week format that will include the likes of Riddler, Catwoman, and, of course, the Joker. It will release on the DC Comics app powered by Comixology and be collected monthly as a print comic, similar to DC's other digital-first releases. Here's some early teaser art:
This news comes not long after Mattel debuted new images of their upcoming line of '60s Batman toys. Now that the legal mumbo-jumbo regarding the show has been settled, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and its partners are taking advantage of the property.
"The juxtaposition of offering a retro Batman '66 comic as a current and modern digital first title is fun," stated DC Entertainment President, Diane Nelson in a press release. "DC Entertainment is the most prolific producer of digital first comics and, as we work to create new and compelling content, this is a great way to also preserve the legacy of our characters. It's exciting to roll out the new Batman '66 comic as part of this bigger initiative with our Warner Bros Consumer Product partners."
Parker's work on the fantastic X-Men: First Class is a fine example of what's possible with this sort of retro series, and Allred's pop-art stylings certainly makes him the perfect choice as a cover artist. Just take a look at this unused (for legal reasons) cover from DC's old Solo series:
And here are some more official character teasers, courtesy of DC Comics. Joker even has his makeup over his mustache!

Via Colloquey, Smith & Wesson is launching a loyalty program to enhance the "gun ownership experience."
There's not much in the way of rewards. It's pretty heavy on just knowing their customers and marketing to them. But it's still cool.
I suppose the rewards are in part limited by a sense of taste or caution. Any marketers nightmare would stem from offering free bullets or rewards based on frequency of successful shootings of course.

Church Leaders Meet with Kofi Annan on Iraq, Urge Significant U.N. Role
May 25, 2004, NEW YORK CITY - Church leaders who met with United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan Monday (May 24) said they are convinced that international involvement is Iraq's only chance for lasting peace and security and that the United Nations is the organization rightfully to take that role.
"We hope that President Bush will not just repackage the occupation, but that he will welcome significant involvement by the United Nations, giving the U.N. an independent role and not impeding its ability to function," said the Rev. Dr. Bob Edgar, General Secretary of the New York-based National Council of Churches USA, who led the 11-member international delegation.
"The increasing chaos in Iraq makes clear that the U.S. government needs to change course," Dr. Edgar said. "We hope President Bush goes public with the Administration's apparent realization that the peace the United States seeks can only come with genuine international participation."
The delegation included church leaders from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe, and had support from the World Council of Churches, Middle East Council of Churches and the All Africa Conference of Churches as it went into the meeting with Secretary General Annan.
Church leaders in the group had opposed going to war against Iraq, Dr. Edgar acknowledged. "But now, people who were for the war and people who were against the war need to come together to find an alternative way out of the current situation."
The religious leaders' 40-minute meeting with the U.N. Secretary General came as President Bush prepared an evening televised address on U.S. Iraq policy, and as the U.N. Security Council was discussing a new resolution defining the role of the United Nations in Iraq following the transfer of sovereignty to an Iraqi interim government on June 30.
"We'll be watching for indications that the transition to Iraqi sovereignty is genuine and complete," Dr. Edgar said. "We expect that the resolution will foster the integrity and unity of Iraq, specify who does what in terms of security, and make clear the role of the United Nations. The resolution needs to give the U.N. a clear mandate supported by the international community, including the United States."
In the meeting, the Rev. Dr. Keith Clements, General Secretary of the Conference of European Churches, based in Geneva, Switzerland, shared the "deep longing for a multilateral approach that has marked Europe since World War II. It has been frustrating for us that the United Nations has not been allowed to play its role in Iraq. In Europe there is tremendous support for a U.N. role."
The church leaders discussed with Secretary General Annan how they constructively could contribute to building lasting peace in Iraq and elsewhere in the world. While religion sometimes fosters conflict and intolerance, they agreed, the problem is not with faith but with some of the faithful.
Religious leaders need to emphasize the importance of building a culture of tolerance, and to teach peace, dignity and respect for human rights, they agreed. Furthermore, as faith groups often note, weapons of mass destruction and terrorism are not the world's only problems, but also poverty, disease and environmental degradation.
Many of the church leaders have active interfaith relationships. The Very Rev. Leonid Kishkovsky of Syosset, N.Y., Ecumenical Officer for the Orthodox Church in America, is Vice Moderator of the World Conference of Religions for Peace, which is in regular contact with Iraq's religious communities. "We acknowledge that religion sometimes is part of the problem, he said. "We stress that religion must be part of the solution," in Iraq and elsewhere in the world.
In the meeting, the church leaders offered Secretary General Annan a pastoral word. "You are in our prayers," Dr. Edgar assured the Secretary General. "These are difficult times. We wish you strength and courage at this critical moment when your leadership is most needed."
The Rev. Mark Hanson, Presiding Bishop of the Chicago-based Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and President of the Lutheran World Federation, in an interview following the meeting, said it is important to recognize that sustained peace means not just the end of violence but also the end of poverty and human suffering.
The future of Iraq rests on the willingness of the United States to join with the international community, he said. "Can the United States give up enough economic, military and political control enough to allow for the transition?"
Said the Rev. Dr. Clifton Kirkpatrick, Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church (USA), Louisville, Ky., "Clearly the United Nations is ready and able to provide leadership in Iraq. This will be good for the United States, Iraq and the world. The churches we represent would greatly welcome the U.N.'s leadership role."
The church leaders pledged to offer educational resources about the United Nations to their members. This is a considerable constituency, they noted: The NCC's 36 member churches include nearly 45 million adherents in more than 100,000 local congregations nationwide.
The leaders also pledged to talk with their own governments about the importance of multilateral collaboration in Iraq. Dr. Antonios Kireopoulos, NCC Associate General Secretary for International Relations and Peace, New York, said, "We are at a crossroads and it is up to the United States and the United Nations to convert this moment of opportunity into an active plan with international legitimacy to give a chance for lasting peace in Iraq.
"President Bush, in his remarks Monday night, signaled a move toward such a plan," he said. "We hope the specifics bear out this hope."
In addition to Clements, Edgar, Kireopoulos, Kirkpatrick and Hanson, the delegation included Bishop Vicken Aykazian, Washington, D.C., Ecumenical Officer, Armenian Orthodox Church Diocese of America; the Rev. Dr. Karen A. Hamilton, General Secretary, Canadian Council of Churches, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the Very Rev. Leonid Kishkovsky, Ecumenical Officer, Orthodox Church in America, Syosset, N.Y.; the Rev. Michael E. Livingston, Executive Director, International Council of Community Churches, Frankfort, Ill.; Mr. Paul Renshaw, Coordinator for International Affairs, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, London, England; Mr. James Winkler, General Secretary, General Board of Church and Society, United Methodist Church, Washington, D.C.

HSUS Contributes $2,000 to South Dakota Blizzard Relief
(Oct. 23, 2013)—The Humane Society of the United States contributed $2,000 to the Black Hills Disaster Recovery Relief Fund to help South Dakota with animal-related needs following the unseasonable blizzards that caused more than 20,000 animal deaths earlier this month.
The Black Hills Disaster Recovery Relief Fund was established by the Black Hills Area Community Foundation to help disaster survivors and their communities following the unprecedented storms. The fund will help the South Dakota Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, which is part of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety, coordinate the volunteer relief efforts.
The HSUS' South Dakota State Director, Darci Adams, has been working closely with The South Dakota VOAD, which is also providing assistance to meet the immediate needs of livestock and ranchers impacted by the storms. The HSUS will continue to monitor the situation and communicate with officials as the recovery phase continues.

Where Can I Work?TeachLSUS is looking for dedicated candidates to bring their talents to the following parishes:
Red River
Click here to view a map of Louisiana parishes.
TeachLSUS participants should strongly consider teaching in districts where they are needed the most. Not all candidates will be able to secure employment in their first-choice school district. Location and salary vary among our partner school districts; however, all districts need excellent teachers.
District hiring decisions are made by the individual school systems. The role of TeachLSUS is to assist during the hiring process by providing general information on the hiring process for our partner school districts, altering program participants of job vacancies, and providing districts with information on program enrollees.
Regardless of district the typical school day is approximately 7 hours long. Beyond the formal school day, teachers should also expect to spend time preparing their lessons, grading school work, and communicating with parents and guardians. The first year of teaching is challenging for any new teacher, and participants need to put forward an intense effort – especially at the beginning of the year.

Managing your bill reminders is easy, since Mint does most of the set-up work for you. You'll notice the "Upcoming Bills" section appears on your Overview page (under Advice). Mint automatically scans your account to identify anything that is likely to be a recurring bill and determines the due date. All your bills will be display on a timelines with green bars that give you visual representation of how much money is due. Mouse-over a green bar on your timeline to see the upcoming bill. You can also see details of all your bills due in the next four weeks in the list below. To collapse this window, just click "Hide Details" and you'll simply see the timeline view.
Setting up your bill reminders
Some bill reminders will be implemented automatically (such as credit card and loan payments). Mint will also make suggestions based on your transactions. To see these suggestions click Change Your Reminders on the top right corner of the Upcoming Bills module. A pop-up window will appear with all the items Mint has detected.
Click the X for any items you do not wish to receive a reminder. To add a reminder, click Remind Me. You'll be able to edit the bill name, the amount, the due date and select whether it is a credit or loan payment and whether the amount varies. Click Set Reminder and you're done.
Creating a bill reminder from a transaction
To add a reminder for a bill Mint hasn't automatically detected, find an instance of that bill under the Transactions tab. Click Edit Details and you'll see a "Remind Me" button on top right corner. You'll be directed back to the Your Bill Reminders window where you can edit the bill information.
Creating your own bill reminder from scratch
If you want a reminder for an upcoming bill that has not yet appeared in your transactions, you can create on manually by clicking Add a Reminder in the top right corner of the Your Bill Reminders window. Enter a name for the bill in the Add a reminder field (such as "Property Tax" or "Loan payment to Mom"). The window will expand and you'll be able to enter the amount and how often it occurs. Be sure to set the due date (by default, new bill reminders you create will have a monthly due date based on the day you've created them) by clicking the link next to the dollar amount.

A THIEF who broke into a shopping mall was caught out on CCTV trying to have sex with a mannequin.
Footage from the mall in Jaragua, Brazil, shows the man – who had already stolen some bargain clothes – strip nearly-naked before getting up close with the headless shop-floor dummy.
Propping it up against the wall, he begins to kiss the naked dummy's breasts before sexually pleasuring himself.
The man, bizarrely wearing a T-shirt over his head, finishes his business before walking away.
Rather than stay away from the scene of the crime, the hapless chap returned to the shop where he was recognised by staff and promptly arrested.
"He could do the same with a helpless person"Shopping centre manager Ricardo Carvalho
Shopping centre manager Ricardo Carvalho said of the "strange" incident: "If such an individual is capable of committing an act like this, imagine if he broke into a house?
"He could do the same with a helpless person."
The suspect refused to comment on his escapade with the mannequin, but said he only broke into the mall because he had "nothing else to do".


text: Few car buyers are willing to retain ownership for a decade, let alone four of them, but this beautiful 1970 Boss 302 remained with its first purchaser from 1970 through 2011, when he passed away, and his wife kept the car until 2015. Any Mustang with such pedigree would warrant interest, and this car existing as the pinnacle small-block package created for homologation purposes in the SCCA Trans Am series moves it into exclusive territory. After all, Boss 302 Mustangs—with their specialized race-bred engine design, premium suspension components, and special body accessories—have become blue-chip investments. Yet only rarely does one become available with a noted history and scarce options like this. Cosmetically unrestored with 90 percent of the factory-applied paint still intact, the car came in the rare color combination of Wimbledon White with a Vermillion Red interior. An issue requiring a replacement short block occurred in 1975, yet this car retains its original heads (rebuilt), intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, rev limiter and factory smog equipment. The power is backed by a 4-speed transmission and 3.91:1 Traction-Lok differential. One of the most visible options on these cars is the Shaker hood, with rear window slats, tinted glass and Boss 302 graphics completing the image of pure muscle. Underneath, Koni shocks, Magnum 500 wheels, and Goodyear Polyglas GT tires give the car road manners, while interior options include a factory AM/FM radio. Sold new at Clem Smalley Ford in Muskogee, Oklahoma, the car includes extensive paperwork such as the original sales and financial contracts, warranty card, buck tag, the salesman's business card, factory owner's manual, a reproduction window sticker, Marti Report, Eminger Report, and a four-page document created on the car's history by its longtime owner in 2010. Preserved from the iconic days of Ford's Total Performance era, this car has never been offered for public sale until now. This is a rare opportunity to own an example that was built on the very last day of Boss 302 production, as this car is documented as the fourth-to-last produced on Ford's production schedule that day and listed in the Boss 302 Registry as the second-to-last car known to exist.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
Combine the cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, shredded chicken and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
Unwrap the pie crusts and cut off the round edges of each to create a square. Cut each square into quarters, then trim the edges to create rectangles. Put 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of 1 rectangle and brush the pastry with water around the perimeter. Top with another piece of pastry and use a fork to press down on the edges to completely seal closed. Brush with the egg and poke a few fork holes in the top. Repeat with the remaining rectangles and filling to make 8 pot pie pockets. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

timothy & titus: within you and outside you
I think it's very instructive and no accident that the day after we celebrate the feast of the conversion of Saint Paul we celebrate the feast of two of his disciples, Timothy and Titus. Both of them accompanied Paul on some of his apostolic journeys, preached the gospel and mediated some disputes for him; both of them are remembered for the pastoral letters that Saint Paul wrote to them; both of them are remembered as bishops, obviously some of the first bishops in the church. Why it's instructive that we celebrate them the day after we celebrate Paul is that for Paul it was always about the Body, the whole Body of Christ. Before his conversion, remember, Paul was persecuting the members of this new sect. When he has his encounter with the risen Christ outside of Damascus, Jesus doesn't say to him "Why are you persecuting my followers?" He says, "Why are you persecuting me?" Whatever you did to the least of these you did to me. This is my body; they are my body. And so the great writings about the body especially in the letters to the Corinthians––this is not just a metaphor for Paul. He really does have an experience of all the members as one Body. And so right after his own feast day, we celebrate two of his famous disciples.
Raniero preached beautifully on the Feast of the Conversion of Paul about Paul's three years in Arabia when he does what we like to call his "inner work," which Raniero said was like the inner work of the monk, the inner work of the contemplative, 'til that outer experience of meeting the risen Christ on the road becomes a living inner reality in his life. But that still wasn't the end of the story; in some way that was the beginning.
What I was struck by in the gospel reading that we heard for the feast (Lk 10:1-9) was that when Jesus sent the seventy out to proclaim, they were always sent out in pairs. That inner experience with Jesus immediately becomes relationship, like Paul's relationship with Timothy and Titus. And Jesus tells them, 'And say to them, "The kingdom of God has come near to you."' The Spanish scripture scholar Jose Pagolà thinks that those words have not always been understood well. He doesn't think we shouldn't translate them the way we monks and certainly the eastern fathers liked to translate them, which is 'The reign of God is within you.' Somehow just "within" is not enough. The Greek expression entos hymin can mean "within you" but modern researchers now generally translate it as 'the kingdom of God is among you' or 'has come near to you.' If we ever can truly understand the mind of Jesus, Pagolà says that for Jesus the kingdom of God was a transformation that involved the whole life of people more than being an intimate spiritual reality, and there's a danger that we might reduce the reign of God to only "something private and spiritual that people feel inside them." Rather Pagolà says Jesus was trying to convince his listeners that the coming of God was a humble yet effective liberating force that was "there in the midst of life, within the reach of anyone who accepted it with faith." The reign of God is not a thing that we contain; it's a liberating force that permeates all reality, as the great images Jesus uses teach us––like salt in the earth, like yeast in the dough.
To Jesus this was not a perverse world, hopelessly subjected to the power of evil while it waited for God's final intervention, as the apocalyptic writings said. Along with the terrible destructive power of evil, people could already see the saving power of God, who was now bringing their life to its definitive liberation.[1]
Of course we don't want to fall into the classic dilemma of either/or instead of both/and. I like the solution provided by the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas, which has Jesus say instead, 'The kingdom of God is within you and outside you.' I think that's it. The reign of God is a force that permeates all reality, inside us and outside us, like salt in the earth, like yeast in the dough.
Just as silence and solitude are not ends in and of themselves but means toward greater love for God and neighbor, so the experience of the indwelling presence of God is not an end––it's the beginning of real life in Christ. Acceptance of the reign of God begins within a person in the form of faith in Jesus, but it is realized in the life of a people wherever evil is overcome by God's saving justice, for instance. It's realized when the poor are fed, when the naked are clothed, when captives are set free. One of the sad divorces in our modern times is the divorce between private spirituality and social justice for instance. That can't be for the follower of Jesus. Ronald Rolheiser points out that in the Christian scriptures "one out of every ten lines deals directly with the physically poor and the call from God for us to respond to them. In the gospel of Luke, that becomes every sixth line, and in the epistle of James, that communion is there, in one form or another, every fifth line."[2] There is no Christian spirituality without that communion.
The reign of God is realized in the life of people when they build community-koinonia. The reign of God may begin within a person––and the eastern fathers would have us believe that the kingdom of God happens whenever the Holy Spirit rules over our faculties––but it still has to be realized in a transformed life, in love, joy and peace. It is realized when there is patience, kindness, generosity. (You'll recognize these as Paul's fruits of the Spirit in Galatians.[3]) The proof that it is being realized is faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. And these are none of them virtues that can be learned, exhibited, manifested and tested except in community, or at least in relationship. There is simply no Christian spirituality without communion. Of course that is what the Eucharistic Table signifies, not just union with God, but union with one another, too, in the one bread, and the one cup.
The kingdom has come near us, within us and outside us. Sometimes what is outside seeps in, like the vision of Jesus that becomes an inner experience of the power of the Spirit of the risen Christ in Saint Paul. But the inner experience must always ooze out of us too, as the love of God that is poured into our hearts pours back out like a stream of life-giving water, making glad the city of God.
The kingdom of God is within us and outside us… near us and among us.

AVENUE's much-awaited, always enlightening, rarely predictable, very inspiring, terribly chic, highly opinionated, annual list of the city's most stylist men and women (chosen with the help of our all-star judging panel).
Muriel Brandolini, Designer and Decorator
Style Philosophy: You should wear the clothes, and not let the clothes wear you. To be chic is to be simple, and secure with yourself, possessing your own aura, rather than having fashion dictate who you are.
Karen Erickson, Jewelry Designer
Style Philosophy: Style should be timeless and effortless.
Erin Fetherston, Fashion Designer
Style Philosophy: It's fantastic to experiment with trends, but know your body. It serves every woman to be her own style icon.
Diane von Furstenberg, Fashion Icon
Style Philosophy: To be stylish means to be well in your skin, to move effortlessly through life. It is an attitude that makes allure.
James LaForce, Media and Communications Consultant
Style Philosophy: I think a stylish woman is one who dresses for herself and can show the courage to go her own way.
Lisa Perry, Fashion Designer
Style Philosophy: I define 'style' as being a person who is willing to be unique and take risks. Someone who mixes things that are unexpected, is not following trends and marches to her own beat.
Charlotte Ronson, Fashion Designer
Style Philosophy: Having confidence and embracing your individuality is the key to personal style.
Lucy Sykes Rellie, Fashion Editor
Style Philosophy: I love a Euro-American-glossy-chic, pulled together look. If I could live during one time it would be Julie Christie in a black cut-out gown in the movie Shampoo—feminine, cool and edgy all at the same time.
Vena Cava, Sophie Buhal and Lisa Mayock
Style Philosophy: Dress in whatever works for you, that makes you unique, happy and comfortable. Style comes from within.
Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, Fashion Consultant
Style Philosophy: A woman who is well dressed and stylish exudes an air of self-confidence, grace and effortlessness while always allowing her inner self to shine.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Fashion Editor

In my family, there's something of an inside joke at the expense of my poor mother-in-law. She has developed something of a reputation. If ever there's a player that you want to see jettisoned from the Nashville Predators– simply have Jeanne purchase that poor soul's personalized sweater. Invariably, that individual will be gone from the Nashville Predators' roster in a matter of months. Chris Mason, Scott Nichol, Jason Arnott–all victims to the jersey curse.
When she won Jerred Smithson's jersey at the 09/10 "Shirts Off Our Back" ceremony, we pondered what the implications of this win meant. Would "The Baby-Faced Assassin" be exempt from the curse, since the jersey wasn't actually purchased? Or would we see number 25 moving on to a new home, like all of the others? When Smithson signed a new 2 year deal, preventing him from becoming an unrestricted free agent, it certainly seemed that she had found a loophole.
For the immediate future, Jerred Smithson seemed to be sticking around. And why not? While he's not going to be asked to participate in the All-Star skills competition, he's the sort of blue-collar foot soldier that has typified the Nashville Predators since their inception. An adept penalty killer, face-off man, and all around defensive specialist, he's always been the ideal fourth line center.
Until this year.
I'm certainly not one to neglect the yeoman contributions that Jerred Smithson has made to the franchise over the past six seasons. Signed coming out of the lockout as a depth forward, serving time in both Milwaukee and Nashville, he provided a surprising amount of grit and defensive stiffness, an effective counterbalance to high-flying offensive stars like Paul Kariya and JP Dumont(don't laugh, times weren't always so hard for good ol' Jean-Pierre). Smithson has been a key contributor on a penalty kill unit that has routinely been in the top ten of the league, even when all other categories were in the bottom triad. I'd be remiss to ignore his role in all of that.
Fast forward to this season.
That penalty kill, long the banner of the Nashville Predators, has taken an uncharacteristic slide this season. While the rank of 15 might seem respectable to some, it's like little Sammy bringing home a C on his report card when his proud parents are accustomed to A's. Something doesn't jibe.
While it would be unreasonable to blame such a plummet solely on Smithson, there is a key factor to note. Smithson currently leads the Nashville Predators in minor penalties with 15. When your primary contribution to your team is focused through the penalty kill, this is a bad statistic. His faceoff ability still leads the team, but that's likely due to how bad the Predators are on the draw as a team, and his defensive-zone faceoff percentage–the important one for a player like Smitty–is WAY down.
In addition, I'm not a big fan of the hardcore statistical metrics like Corsi(comprised of goals/saves/missed shots over the course of 60 minutes–considered the de facto defensive metric) is a staggering -19.85 — worst among all forwards on the team. With Legwand and Fisher doing most of the heavy lifting defensively, this is another damning indicator of Smithson's decline.
When you consider that he's played much of the season on a surprisingly offensive fourth line with Matt Halischuk and Craig Smith, the usual argument for such a poor Corsi rating for a fourth liner goes out the window– his line is producing about as well as any fourth line in the league. No thanks to Mr. Smithson-with 1 goal on the season, on pace for…well, less than 2.
Compounding matters has been the emergence of Nick Spaling as the team's all-around utility man. You can slot him in on any line, and with a good deal more offensive ability than Smithson, he's not going to kill any scoring momentum a line might have. Spaling's numbers are, as you might imagine, a good deal better than Jerred Smithson's in every category, aside from faceoff percentage– but he's second on the team there, and not that far behind.
Now, as the playoffs draw near, you can never have too much depth–so maybe waiving Smithson or tossing him for a seventh round pick would be counterproductive, but I would like to see him get a schedule of starts that's akin to Brian McGrattan– a niche player with a time and place, maybe he plays if injuries build up– but he shouldn't be in the lineup every night.
With last Saturday's healthy scratch, we might just be seeing such an approach from Barry Trotz.
And maybe that's the win-win scenario. My mother-in-law keeps the still-relevant sweater of one of her much-loved underdogs…the Predators slot more effective players into their lineup.
Everyone's happy.

Difficulties Researching Scottish Emigrants, Part 2
These problems would almost intractable except for the fact that I studied the entire community – at least 1300 individuals over a fifty year time span. I also examined a wide range of documents – wills, deeds, tax duplicates, censuses, etc. The best census was the 1850 one, even though it was outside the time span for my dissertation. The 1850 census is great because it is the first US census to list each individual in the household and where they were born, plus lots of other nifty things. This census facilitated the identification and reconstruction of many households that were established in the 1820s and 1830s. However, it was useless for individuals who had died before 1850.
Estate records, when they existed were marvelous. They frequently included property owned, names of children, grandchildren and other relatives, and the names of wives. A handful of women left wills too. Many young men, as might be expected, died intestate, which is a bother for the historian. An even bigger bother is how many older men who owned property and had children did not leave wills.
Property records and maps were also extremely helpful, especially for men who died before the 1850 census. For example how do you tell which Alexander McIntosh is which if there are two in the 1820 census, one in Yellow Creek Township and another in Madison. Deed records show that an Alexander McIntosh purchased land in the former township in 1809 and another purchased land in the latter township in 1817. Since the properties are not contiguous and there are two men enumerated in 1820, they are almost certainly two separate men. If you "match" up a census with a property map a neighborhood can be discerned and sometime people can be indentified that way. The McLanes who lived at the north of Madison Township and had no known Scottish neighbors can be eliminated from the potential residents of Scotch Settlement. This is obviously not a fool-proof method as the census takers could wander around any-which-way on their rounds.
The problems of identifying unique individuals was a problem for me and will likely be a problems for any historian or genealogist researching Scots in America, especially prior to 1850. Ultimately, it was the matching of men to their property and to the rest of their family that was key to recreating Scotch Settlement as it existed between 1800 and 1840. You too, might have to research several members of a Scottish community across many documents before you can pin-point which of these emigrant is your ancestor.
I do believe I see several trips to look at microfilm at the local LDS family history center and the local library which has large genealogy holdings for the eastern United States. Since I would like for family historians to buy my book (provided it is published before the Second Coming), I need to make sure it is as accurate as possible. Small mistakes in family connections won't impact my research, as I was interested in what an entire Scottish community could teach about patterns in Scottish migration. However, for family historians if I connected somebody's great-great grandfather to the wrong parents, that would be a big deal for them.

I was led to your blog by Chris Paton's SGNE blog this evening. I've decided it's time to start writing the family history book, now that I've collected most of the nuts and bolts (who, where, and when). But now I want to examine the emigration questions. My Judge family (not Catholic) left Derry in 1867 for Ayrshire. They stayed for 13 years and then left in 1880 for America. My great-grandfather was an iron miner in Scotland and a coal miner in Pennsylvania. Could you offer some guidance as to sources that would help me learn what may have been the reason/s for them first leaving Ireland and then Scotland? I'll spend some more time this weekend reading through your blog too!

Welcome Kathy! I can't think of any sources to read off the top of my head. Generally, though no matter how bad the Scottish economy was, the Irish one was worse. So when your ancestors left Derry, it was quite possibly for work. Regarding movement from Scottish mines to ones in Pennsylvania; American mines were heavily reliant on the expertise of British miners. So again, the reason may be economic. Amanda

text: Today I made a megaupload link generator.. it logs into my megaupload account and fetches the premium link and gives it to the user. For example, the user inputs: http://megaupload.com/?d=1RROLAW2 Then my link generator logs into my account, and grabs the premium link: http://www419.megaupload.com/files/16542d6e13f6sec59bdawb034b25b421/File.txt (not real links above, hypothetical) THen the user is able to download the file with premium speeds... but my question is will this get my megaupload banned? I know there is an IP logged at login (which will be my server's ip) but do you think there is an IP check when the user is downloading the direct file?

This was a field-based experiment to attempt to answer a question: Do birds have a favourite colour? Four coloured feeders (dark blue, green, yellow and red) and a clear control were used. The number of visits and the mass change in the feeders were recorded so preferences could be gauged. The results show a clear trend for blue being the preferred colour; red and yellow were unpopular. We suggest that this is because high energy colours (blue and UV) are used by birds in short distance communication; blue is also in the middle of the birds' visual spectrum. We also suggest that red and yellow were unpopular because they are employed for aposematic colouration (toxin colours) in insects. Applications of this research could include influencing the design of turbines or aeroplanes, to deter birds.
