This is a very gruesome story! Do NOT read if you're not into snuff, vomit, and penises many times bigger than little girl.
Hell on earth – Lemon by MISTER BIG T
My most fucked up lemon ever
It all began with destruction…. Seemingly endless and pointless destruction of a small town.
Sapphire, an 8 year old girl nun huddled in the dining hall with all the other initiates, curled up into a ball on the floor of the church, one of the few remaining buildings in the town. Dressed in her simple wool nun's habits, she sobbed softly. The sky was raining blood. The rivers turned to fire, and the crops to ash. This could only be the end of times.
Suddenly the doors leading to the room were literally, blown to shreds; some of the splinters immediately killing several of the people inside. After the dust cleared, 6 extremely muscular black women were standing behind a beautiful woman with a completely white hair. She had very large breasts and a sly smile as she looked around the room. Her skin tone was that of a milk chocolate, Sapphire's favorite treat albeit in no way was this monster sweet. "Followers of God, you may bow down to your new mistress, your new deity, and maybe your lives shall be spared.... Bow down to me, the queen of the demons…. Feralzen, thorn of the devil….. " she teased them.
Sapphire was the only one that wasn't wailing. Of the 20 initiates that had been in the room, only 13 of them remained, including Sapphire. All 12 of the older girls were headstrong in their beliefs, and stood up to oppose the demonic invaders, "You are abominations against God! Leave this place at once!" Sapphire just lay sobbing on the ground, curled up on her side. A sliver of wood from one of the doors lay imbedded in her side, some blood trickling down her nun's habits.
Feralzen roared in laughter as she approached them. "There are too many holes and too few poles at the moment...... While I usually enjoy breaking the feisty ones, I'm after something more... Exotic at the moment..." she spoke as she placed her hand before the face of the woman who had just spoken. Before she could even speak again, Feralzen punched her fist throughout her face and throughout the neck before retreating it back out, licking on some brain tissue on her fingers. "Mmm…. Virgin blood… You are all virgins……."
Sapphire had just pulled out the sliver of wood from her side, and bunched up a bit of her robes to push into the wound. Looking up in time to see her fellow sister's face get punched in to the brain, the little girl lost control of her bladder, pissing all over the floor and wetting her robe. Her face scrunched up as she vomited on the floor, accidentally covering Feralzen's left foot with the puke. This was it, she thought. This was hell.
Feralzen stopped her movement that very moment as if she had hit an invisible wall. "You can do whatever you want with the others, just in the end kill them…. This one is mine first..." she ordered the others while placing her vomit covered leg against the little nun's face. "Lick it clean bitch, you got my beautiful leg dirty."
Sapphire was delirious. Just hours ago it had been a perfect day, and then those evil clouds had come out of nowhere, and unleashed literal hell. Now here she was, licking her body's rejected foodstuffs off of the demon queen's foot. She sucked on each toe individually, like she remembered her sister doing to the mayor's cock. This was before she was found out, and shipped off here. Nothing mattered anymore, really. The girl gagged every so often as she licked a piece of her lunch off of the demon's foot, the disgusting taste almost making her retch again.
Feralzen grinned. "That's good, you did very nice job with that.... But I think you also got some on my butt." she murmured as she turned around and bend down a bit, revealing her extremely dirty rear. "Lick it bitch." she laughed.
Sapphire knew what the demon queen was trying to do, but steeled her stomach, sticking out her tongue, shuddering with anticipation. Just before she reached the stinking ring of flesh, the cheeks and pucker coated in lots of flecks of feces, some old, some new, the girl saw her only friend Judith get her head torn in half by a pair of the rutting demons while they kept raping her dying, twitching body. Unable to control herself anymore, she emptied her guts at the woman's asshole, coating the entire messy area in a fresh layer of vomit.
Feralzen laughed a bit as she pressed Sapphire's head against her ass hole, rubbing her face against her smelly rump. "Mmm bitch you just made my ass dirtier... I think I'll punish you for that unless you get to some good licking and soon.... And the angrier you make the more of your friends die....." she said while motioning to one of her sisters. And just like that another nun lost her life, just as gruesomely as the others; her breasts were torn off by the muscular woman who forced them down the screaming woman's throat, before literally tearing her head off.
Sapphire gagged, and started to scoop the shit and puke into her mouth, shaking from the loss of blood, and disorientation from having two hard stomach churning vomits. "Uh-P-Please! N-No!" She soon switched to sucking the mess off of her Queen's ass, the filthy mess lining the inside of her mouth. She wouldn't taste anything else for a few weeks, unless her mouth got rinsed out.
Feralzen grins as she suddenly gave a stop signal. "Good.... You're doing better job but now...." she moaned as she huffed and let out a long fart as liquid like diarrhea began to come into the girl's mouth followed by several huge logs. "Mmm eat it all up..."
Sapphire held the wound in her side as she tilted her head back a bit, scorching under her queen as she opened her mouth. She'd heard the telltale farts, and knew that she was going to get shat on. Figuring that the easiest way would be just to have her mouth open and let the logs drop in, she closed her eyes. The first blast of the liquid shit hit more of her face than her mouth, and she gave a moan of terror from below the powerful female.
Feralzen grinned as she kept pushing more of her filth into the tiny girl's mouth. "Mmmm you're doing so good job I think I'll reward you soon if you keep this up...." she murred.
Sapphire swallowed as fast as she could, trying to keep down the roiling mass of filth that had invaded her stomach. It was protesting not being fed real, food, and she wasn't exactly the fattest of pre-teens. In fact, she was quite skinny; her ribs were nearly visible under her skin. What was visible, though was her tummy starting to swell from all the shit she was being forced to eat.
Feralzen finally finished shitting and to Sapphire's surprise gave a kiss to the girl, sharing some of her own shit with herself. "Mmm now for the reward. One of your friends can go... And every time you make me happy, a friend of yours can go.... But my sisters will join me with you...." she laughed as soon, a muscular woman, obviously the youngest one approached Sapphire. She had huge erection, easily over 2 feet tall. "Suck her dick."
Sapphire whimpered as she saw that monstrous tool being offered in front of her. She hadn't heard the first part of the Queen's statement, only that she was to please the monster in front of her, and that the huge cock in front of her would not be the last. "Y-Yes... My q-queen..." She tried to keep herself from sobbing as she licked the tip of that giant fuck rod, her eyes stained with tears.
The sister began to rape Sapphire's mouth but not nearly as hard as she could have obviously, but forcing the girl to suck it and even deep throat her. "Don't you dare ruin her..... " Feralzen warned her little sister who pulled a bit out from the mouth, allowing the girl more room to breathe.
Sapphire pumped her mouth up and down on that giant slab of meat, her tongue wriggling under the massive cock in her mouth. Her jaw actually popped, dislocating; it was the only way that anything that large could get in her little mouth. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her entire body heaved with each thrust.
Feralzen grins as she hears her jaw bones pop. "Mmm now there's dedication if I've seen it..... That impresses me so much that I'll reward you greatly…." she murrs while motioning to the others. "The rest of your friends can go. You have saved their lives. However, now it's time you'll take us all on," she speaks as 5 more big dicks come to Sapphire's sight. The women tear off her nun dress, revealing her tiny breasts and begin to rub their penises all over her body and against her form. However, no one actually penetrates or touches her anywhere but her mouth where several dicks fight in try to get them to be the ones to be sucked by the tiny girl.
Sapphire moaned as the nun's habits are torn off, the wound in her side staunched for the most part, a little trickle of blood still coming down from the wound. She was now a mindless fuck-slave. Her life could be over at any moment, so she'd best get to the sucking. She couldn't exactly control who entered her mouth, but she tried her hardest to get each cock in there at least 20 times, gulping down any shaft that got near her mouth.
Some of the women shot some cum all over her mouth and in it. The girl was beginning to be coated in vomit, shit, blood, and now semen. "Mmmmm... I think I'll fuck you into your pussy now..." Feralzen murmured as she showed her dick. It was almost ten feet long and pulsing with precum. "You'll get the honor of having your virginity stolen by the biggest dick in the world.... Consider yourself honored..." she giggled while rubbing the massive member against Sapphire's tiny virgin pussy.
Sapphire froze at the sight of that massive member. That was going to go in... In her sin-hole? She bawled around the cock of the demon that was currently ravaging her mouth. There was no way it was going to go in... Then again, there was no way the little girl could stop it. She was on all fours, one sister each stepping on a hand or foot, keeping her down.
Feralzen grinned "Remove your cock Talera for a moment, I want to hear her scream." she ordered the one in Sapphire's mouth, and the demon with white hair complied. Soon Feralzen began to push her enormous cock into the tiny girl, the dick being much bigger than the girl herself.
She screamed at the top of her lungs. She was literally being split open from the inside, as an eight year old girl could not hope to take a cock twice and a half again as tall as her and remain perfectly intact. She was crying so hard, nothing was left. After the first few seconds, her tear ducts rupture, and little rivers of blood creep down her cheek. Her back end was slowly being demolished to accommodate that massive royal cock.
Feralzen grunts as she starts pushing more of herself in, while the demons continue to jerk off, the cum splashing all over the broken eyes of the girl and on her hips where Sapphire could see the outline of the penis working through the girl. Sapphire shrieked at the feeling of the cock ripping through her; her vagina and colon had been destroyed by the onslaught of that mammoth prick. The outline of the cock inside her crept up to halfway across her tummy, just under her ribs. She bit down on her tongue, neatly severing the end of the muscle. Blood started to pour from the orifice as a third of her tongue fell to the floor.
Feralzen moans harder as she continues to push mercilessly in, the huge dick going through all her vital organs and tearing pieces or even some of them completely with it as it moved forward in the girl who had now expanded and looked like a bleeding blow up doll without air. Sapphire's organs started to be expelled through her mouth. Part of a kidney here, the entire pancreas, a few feet of intestine. Sapphire sobbed as much as she could between organs, wondering what she had to do God to deserve this.
Feralzen finally pushed through the mouth of the girl, stretching it insanely wide as more of her organs hang from the cock's tip. "Mmm the tight whore is going to make me come....." she murred and immediately, the six sisters came forward and began to lick and suck on the member while pushing Sapphire further along the cock. Sapphire's heart and lungs are the only things left in her body, keeping her alive just barely; her stomach comes up, spilling the rancid feces out of her mouth before falling with a plop to the ground. Her jaw stretches more, and her cheeks start to tear from the giant cock. Her cheeks rip open, and her jaw falls to the floor, her tongue dribbled onto floor, having been sliced completely off by a random shard of bone.
Feralzen takes hold of Sapphire's head strongly as she grunts and pulls more before coming huge, massive load all over her sisters who seemed like they had been blessed by God, licking their lips and moaning. "Mmmhh....." Sapphire's throat made gurgling noises as she started to fade forever. Her only wish as she started to expire was to be like those demon sisters she saw, writhing in pleasure as they were covered with their queen's cum, shot through the body of this pre-pubescent girl.
For some reason or another.... Feralzen heard this wish. She smiled as she waved for the youngest sister to come towards her. "It's your turn, everyone else has had their share..." she murrs as the girl laid on the floor while spreading her pussy wide. Feralzen took hold of the remains of what had once been pretty girl and slowly began to stuff it in the woman's cunt. Sapphire was barely conscious as she was stuffed into the demon's cunt, the tight passage crushing her skull, her eyes seeing the viscous grey matter of her brain being spread along the passage before more organs followed. She shouldn't even be alive right now, her mind screamed. Wait, how could her mind scream it? It just rushed past...
The little sister moans as she looked like she was pregnant for several months. "Mmmm... Your cum's still on her... It'll not take as long as usually......" she murrs while gently patting the belly. "Hear that? I'm going to be a mommy..."

JoeDoe Becomes Joe & Misses Doe; Joe Dobias Talks the Devolution of the Restaurant Industry
On the reputation of its gussied up gastropub fare and owner Joe Dobias' inclination toward provocation, JoeDoe firmly established itself in the East Village five years ago, and it's done a brisk business for brunch and dinner ever since. That is until it closed up shop a couple of weeks back to make way for Joe & Misses Doe, a second iteration of the space that Dobias says will focus on more casual fare. JoeDoe, in the meantime, will relocate as a dinner-only joint sometime in the near future.
So why the switch?
"We kind of felt like we were running two different restaurants," Dobias explains. "One for brunch and one for dinner. We had two completely different crowds and feels." He blames that on his attempt to push dinner further and further into the fine dining realm, a mission he says has really maxed out the parameters of the space, which has a tiny kitchen with no walk-in.
Add to that the fact that he just married his long-time girlfriend Jill Schulster, and he wanted to create a restaurant more representative of them as a pair. "When I started the restaurant, it was really Jill helping me see my dream come true," he says. "Now, we've really evolved into a restaurant couple. The new restaurant is really a representation of the both of us. I've had a staunch, opinionated way of doing things over the last couple of years, but I've really softened."
With those factors in mind, the pair will scrap fine dining in the East Village space entirely, installing instead what Dobias calls a "fun, ambitious update on a bar and grill. We're not going to gild the lily here. We're going to make what we go out and eat at everyone else's places."
He cites French dip soup dumplings, an injected wedge salad, gringo tacos made with duck confit and garlic-radish, and a Monte Cristo with smoked syrup. "We're doing classics that aren't straight up the gut, but I don't want people to eat them and not understand what to do with it," he explains. He also says the menu will showcase seasonal produce, though not in a "fluffy, pretentious way." And he hopes the new menu will fall in line with the spot's popular brunch, which is to say that it will be approachable. "I don't want people to feel intimidated," he says. "We survived on approachability and flavor. I want to step back from the esoteric stuff and go with the riff on the blue plate specials and the classic Americana kind of stuff."
Even with what's ostensibly an expansion of his concepts--Dobias also owns Joe Dough Sandwich Shop--the owner insists that he has no ambition to become an empire-builder, not least because he thinks it's important for owners to be in their own restaurants and chefs to be behind their own burners. "Restaurants have devolved back into the pre-90s sort of mentality," he explains. "That's when you'd watch the grand dame restaurant families build opulent restaurants all over town. We see the same castle-building syndrome now. Amazing stuff happened in the late 90s when chefs started going back and running their own kitchens, but that's gone. Chefs my age are opening three, four, five places within months of their first one. The cheffing game is about ego--you do it because you want to be in control and put your name on the menu. But I don't know how many menus you can put your name on when you've never put touched a pan in the kitchen."
Dobias and Schulster are applying a fresh coat of paint to the new iteration of their restaurant; look for it to re-open sometime around September 19. And as for the fine dining concept? Dobias says it will take about six months to a year to get it built.

So you support the position that no matter the evidence, serial killers, child rapists/murderers who have confessed should not be executed?
The protections against executing the innocent are inherent in the system. Is it a perfect system? No, but what system is? Neither the state nor the defense will have the best attorneys, experts (since they both cost money), or even investigators. Criminals exploit technicalities in the law, some say their confessions were forced or the search was illegal and that can be the basis for an appeal, despite the overwhelming evidence states that in all likelihood, the defendant committed the crime. Not without doubt, but without reasonable doubt.
There are protections inherent in the system as well: the provision of a defense attorney at cost to the state, a trial by a jury of your peers who all have to agree on the verdict, a judge whose sole purpose is to facilitate fairness for the two sides and decide which evidence is permissible or not, and in practice prosecutors will not prosecute all the crimes and investigators knowing the judicial system, will play by the books.
The issue I have is when the appeals system is abused to file appeal after appeal based on technicalities when the overwhelming evidence still supports that the now convicted felon committed the crime. I remember one a convicted felon who had the county's best attorneys, but he found one error out of many rights and had his retrial. Then he found a basis for the judge who heard the appeal to be removed and another trial was ordered and so it went. The length of time between conviction and execution should be shortened so that victims, society, and justice is served.
The system is made up of human beings so it is impossible for mistakes not to be made. We must understand that. To point out one mistake and say it doesn't work is not practical nor efficient. Plus, we ignore when the system does work and the innocents are released. Also, the very point of having a life sentence for say, multiple murders is ridiculous. People are highly adaptive and some prisons even have cell phones and MTV, all supported by our tax dollars. Hardly a fate criminals fear. As it is, the system does not serve the victims nor as a deterrent which is why we have the death penalty in the first place and this is why the appeals process needs to be revamped.

So SmithinJapan, let me get this straight: you believe that nothing at all warrants execution? Not even child rapist/murderers and serial rapists? For every crime the victim's entire circle are victimized. I sincerely suggest you look up the criminal records of serial killers Ed Kemper, Ted Bundy, the Green River Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, Robert Hansen et. al. all of whom confessed to their multiple murders and then reevaluate your position.
Posted in: China executes man for raping 14 schoolgirls
Humongus, obviously you don't know anyone who's been sexually assaulted or have been yourself. There are details of them I won't share with you for fear of being deemed lewd, but let's just say that "one-off" rapists' imaginations are limitless. The scars are permanent even if it is no longer bleeding. "Full recovery" is never truly possible; but they can go on to fulfilling lives, yes. But we're getting away from the point. Saying rape isn't as bad as murder so it doesn't deserve capital punishment is a false comparison. Rape is an act of depraved evil in itself. Obviously there are degrees and mitigating factors such as prior offenses, details of the rape that can be taken into account. But usually when its of the degree that warrants a life sentence, it is severe enough to be a capital crime. This is in the category of raping multiple women/children and some have an added element of sadism. These rapists cannot be rehabilitated. They see the world in a fundamentally different way. Society deserves to be rid of them.
Posted in: China executes man for raping 14 schoolgirls
Swiss: I reject your notion that the death penalty is "baying for blood." We are not the guilty. They are. Convicted by a jury of their peers and again upon appeal. Get that straight. Exterminating predators is the best way to keep society safe, give victims and their families a resolution, save taxpayer money that can be used for other services such as the one you suggested for victims, and deter criminals. Of course the last reason is laughably flimsy since criminals can't be thinking of the death penalty when it's some abstract notion that is decades away.
Posted in: China executes man for raping 14 schoolgirls
I had a family member who was molested by her uncle as a child. She's now a paranoid schizophrenic who'll go into psychotic episodes if she doesn't take her meds. Cruel part is she thinks she doesn't need her meds when she's lucid but she goes off them and it's right back to nightly screaming. Her condition has torn her family apart with people taking sides, issuing blame.
Maybe some victims of sexual assaults do recover, but the fact is some do not and are haunted by it the rest of their lives. Yet we're taking the side of the criminal who is likely to prey on another victim. I say no. The sex offenders out there need to be in jail for the rest of their lives; the worst among them, executed. Another point: how do we even expect these criminals to be rehabiliated in prison? They can't even function in society and you throw them in with the worst of the worst and expect them to become better people? That's patently ridiculous.
No system is ever perfect. But putting the victims and their families through decades of parole hearings and testifying, dreading the day of his relief is what is cruel and unusual. When you commit heinous crimes, you do not deserve decades of tying up the courts. Heck, they even get a gourmet meal of their choosing before they die. But I digress. No system is perfect but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the criminal few.
Posted in: China executes man for raping 14 schoolgirls
We need faster executions of rapists and murderers around the world. These people recidivate after their release and harm entire families with their rapes. The victims do not die but they live in hell afterward. And sometimes, the violence in the offender escalates into murder either to fulfill their fantasy or get rid of the witnesses. Families deserve a quick resolution that is not dragged on by years and decades of technical wrangling. One appeal at the state/province level and that's it.

I have a Sony laptop, but some other electronics in my house are Korean now, too, such as my cell phone and air condition unit. If I want something of high quality and I have a choice, I'll get Japanese still. But more and more, Korean electronics are the more affordable option and the quality is nearly equal to or equal to Japanese product. Perhaps Sony should have tiered pricing like Toyota to cultivate young consumers. They are in danger of becoming perceived as too high end. Also, some innovation. They did very well with the PS1 and 2 and to a degree, 3, but the last time they had a must own product was at the beginning of the flat screen TV boom.
Utrack, I think that's what everyone's real fears are: a rising China. If you can characterize China, however, as an abuser of human rights, the pretext is made for war. Certainly they are an abuser of human rights such as freedom of expression and lack of due process, yet they've also made gains in lifting a huge section of their population out of poverty. It is a land of contradiction and to label it as black and white is a misrepresentation. I think some of the one-sided actions by the government such as the taking of land benefits some and hurts others. What China needs is democracy and an appeals process, so that the people have a voice and injustices have an avenue in which it is righted. China is a huge country and perhaps the communist leaders are afraid that they won't speak with one voice, but with increasing social unrest and economic disparity, there may not be a choice. Still, outside intervention in Chinese politics shouldn't be an option; it may hurt the average citizen more than it would help; change should happen at the grassroots level.

the more equality there is in the world, the sooner the birth rate will drop and we will have less violence. i blame the pope for a lot of the violence and inequality. if he advocated the use of condoms instead of abstinence, catholic countries around the world would have lower birthrates and thus crime. the US had a similar crime problem until Roe V Wade was passed and abortions were allowed, according to freakonomics. it's not PC to say that poverty breeds crime but the stats back it up. or even a cursory glance at developing nations will tell you that's the case.

In the 36th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014, Mumbai Indians were looking destructive with Lendl Simmons was carting the bowlers to all parts of the ground with an calculated assault on Karn Sharma. The 11th over of Sharma was expensive and Simmons looked at easw that would have pleased the yesteryear power-hitter and Lendl's uncle Phil proud. Simmons was well supported by Ambati Rayudu, who tucked away Moises Henriques for a boundary and moved the strike along at an admirable pace.

It's not often that someone accepts one of the most prestigious literary prizes in the world by comparing it to a bus.
"You wait 20 years for a Booker Prize, and two come along at once," Hilary Mantel joked after taking the stage in London on Tuesday night to accept the 2012 Man Booker Prize for "Bring Up the Bodies," the second novel in her Thomas Cromwell trilogy.
Mantel also won the Booker for the first book in the series, "Wolf Hall," in 2009. She is the first woman to be a two-time winner of the prize, Britain's most prestigious award for literary fiction. The winner receives about $80,000.
"Wolf Hall," praised for its lively evocation of the vicious intrigue of the court of Henry VIII, was a critical and commercial success on both sides of the Atlantic. "Bring Up the Bodies" has followed suit; the L.A. Times wrote that it is "more than the equal of its predecessor when it comes to intensity and drama."
In "Bring Up the Bodies," Mantel demonstrates a gift for the deliciously gory detail. This is her Cromwell on the doomed Anne Boleyn: "The colours should have had a fresh maidenly charm; but all he could think of were stretched innards, umbles and tripes, grey-pink intestines looped out of a living body ... slit up and galloched by the hangman. ... The pearls around her long neck looked to him like beads of fat, and as she argued she would reach up and tug them; he kept his eyes on her fingertips, nails flashing like tiny knives."
Before the awards were announced, author and journalist Will Self, shortlisted for the first time for his novel "Umbrella," was thought to have been the favorite.
Dan Stevens — who in addition to playing Cousin Matthew on "Downton Abbey," writes a column for the British newspaper the Telegraph and is an editor of the online journal the Junket — served as one of the Booker judges. To make their decision, they read 145 books.
"It's been a slog, but an enjoyable one," Stevens told the BBC before the announcement. "You have to read them all the way through to make the right critical argument."
The other four books in the running included two by first-time novelists, "The Lighthouse" by Alison Moore and "Narcopolis" by Jeet Thayil, plus Tan Twan Eng's "The Garden of Evening Mists" and Deborah Levy's "Swimming Home."
Recent winners of the award include Julian Barnes for "The Sense of an Ending," Howard Jacobson for "The Finkler Question," Aravind Adiga for "The White Tiger" and Anne Enright for "The Gathering."
"I have to do something very difficult now. I have to go away and write the third part of the trilogy," Mantel said. She acknowledged that she didn't expect to find herself on the Booker stage again but concluded, "I regard this as an act of faith and a vote of confidence."

Widening the Waldhauser Net
The investigation into a $15 million insurance fraud, allegedly masterminded by a capital murderer from Houston, has spread to several other states.
"We're talking about a scheme that reaches across the entire United States," says Dale Barron, an investigator with the Texas Department of Insurance. "The part we took to the grand jury is just one small part of a big, big puzzle."
Last month a Dallas County grand jury returned 39 indictments against 32 people in connection with the state probe. That investigation was launched after a series of Houston Press articles about the former Walter Waldhauser Jr., a paroled Houston killer.
In 1981 Waldhauser was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in the contract slayings of four Houstonians, including a 14-month-old boy, in a murderous scheme to collect insurance money. He was released after serving less than ten years of that sentence. Last October the Press reported that Waldhauser had changed his name to Michael Lee Davis and had surfaced in Dallas as vice president of Southwest Viatical. Viatical companies buy the insurance policies of the terminally ill often AIDS and HIV patients for a fraction of their full value, then collect the full coverage amount after the death of the insured.

Waldhauser/Davis is alleged to be the mastermind behind a scheme to have AIDS and HIV patients take out life insurance policies while claiming to be disease-free referred to in the insurance industry as "clean-sheeting."
According to Barron, Waldhauser/Davis and the others indicted probably pocketed about $4 million in the alleged scam, which involved life insurance policies with face values of more than $15 million. He says the probe is far from over and extends far beyond the state.
"I don't want to get into the specifics of where this investigation is going at this time, or who we are going to be working with," says Barron. "But rest assured, we are working with securities people, insurance people, state insurance people in other states. And we are going to be working with the feds.
"This thing is moving. And the train is picking up speed."
Just before the indictments were returned last month, investigators tried to arrest Waldhauser/Davis at his Plano home, but so far they have not been able to locate him. By the end of this week authorities hope to have a federal warrant issued for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Left holding the bag, says Barron, are several elderly people who unwittingly purchased the fraudulent life insurance policies as investments.
"I'm not going to use any names," says Barron, "but one couple that I learned of this week in East Texas purchased $400,000 worth of these policies.
"We've got a serious situation here, and nobody realizes how big it is."

Former India all-rounder Rusi Surti passed away in Mumbai at the age of 76. Surti had been put on the ventilator and other life support systems after MRI scans had revealed a massive stroke on Thursday evening.
The Australia-based cricketer, who was on a holiday in Mumbai, was admitted to the Jaslok hospital a few days ago, according to his former team-mate Nari Contractor.
"The stroke affected his brain and he died today. His two sons are here," added the former Indian captain.
Surti, who was a left handed all-rounder, used to bowl both medium pace and spin. He debuted for India against Pakistan in 1960 and went on to play a total of 26 Tests in a career that spanned for 9 years.
The left-hander scored 1263 runs at an average of 28.7 which included 9 half-centuries and a highest score of 99. He also picked up 42 wickets in his Test career, including a five wicket haul.
Born in Surat, Surti represented Rajasthan and Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy in which he scored a total of 8066 runs while he picked up 284 wickets. His highest first-class score was 246 not-out, which came against Uttar Pradesh in 1959.
Often hailed the poor man's Garry Sobers, Surti made everyone take notice with a knock of 64 in his second Test against Pakistan. He was a surprise pick for the tour to West Indies in 1962 in which he scored 246 runs. This was the series in which skipper Nari Contractor was hit on his head by a Charlie Griffith delivery and was unconscious for 6 days. India lost that series 5-0.
Surti also played for Haslingden in the Lancashire League in 1959 and had toured Australia and New Zealand in 1967-68. His highest Test score of 99 came against the Kiwis in Auckland.
A hard hitting batsman, a versatile bowler and a fine fielder, Surti was the first Indian player to score a fifty and claim five wickets in the same Test against Australia.

"real truths".
History is unwritten. Mass global action against Israeli interests could weaken the state significantly and its relation with the US, and could allow for ruptures within Israeli society and the defeat of the Zionist project. All it takes is collective organization. Neither of us has a crystal ball. To paraphrase Marx: "you can advance just one day in 20 years, and then 20 years in one day".
Your point regarding the Arab states: so apparently you are in favour of Arab states opening their borders, but not the much richer Israel or the much richer and more spacious USA and the Palestinians being given a choice? How funny.
Your point about the end of Israel: if a state can only exist by keeping millions of people in exile or in ghettoes, it tells you soemthing about the legitimacy of the state.
Regarding your other point, I am politically active, and have the right to debate on a forum in my spare time. If you don't want to read my grievances, don't click the thread. Otherwise, debate, and don't just shout "stop whining" like a petty authoritarian.

The air is like that of a pre-Adamite ironing-day in full blast.
Old English blæst "blowing, breeze, puff of wind," from Proto-Germanic *bles- (cf. Old Norse blastr, Old High German blast "a blowing, blast," German blasen, Gothic blesan "to blow"), from PIE *bhle- "to blow," probably a variant of root *bhel- (2) "to blow, inflate, swell" (see bole).
Meaning "explosion" is from 1630s; that of "noisy party, good time" is from 1953, American English slang. Sense of "strong current of air for iron-smelting" (1690s) led to blast furnace and transferred sense in full blast "the extreme" (1839). Blast was the usual word for "a smoke of tobacco" c.1600.
Old English blæstan "to blow, belch forth," from the root of blast (n.). Since 16c., often "to breathe on balefully." Meaning "to blow up by explosion" is from 1758. Related: Blasted; blasting. Blast off (n.) is attested from 1950.
: a full-blast campaign for mayor
adverb phrase
To the limit of capacity; with no restraint; all-out (1839+)

Starring Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, Shawnee Smith
Rated PG-13
"Please take your seats."
"Where should we take 'em?"
Laid-back, surf-loving gym teacher named Shoop (Mark Harmon) is all set for a summer vacation in Hawaii with his young blonde girlfriend when he gets asked to teach English to a class of slow-learners who failed to make the grade that year because the teacher who was supposed to take the class (played by Director Carl Reiner) wins the lottery in an opening scene, thereby leaving the position vacant. Shoop is coming up for tenure and is more or less press-ganged into the job.
The class consists of a diverse mixture of underachievers and after a tough first class a deal is struck whereby the students will attend and work in exchange for help with each of their personal problems outside of class. For example, a pregnant single girl named Rhonda played by Shawnee Smith (star of the 'Saw' movies) needs a partner for her birth classes as the possible fathers (including David Lee Roth!) are not around. Meanwhile, laid-back and sexy surfer-chick Pam House, played by Courtney Thorne-Smith (Ally MacBeal, Melrose Place) has a crush on Shoop and wants to move into his home.
Also in the class is pretty Italian exchange student Anna-Maria Mazarelli (Fabiana Udenio, who also starred as Alotta Fagina in Austin Powers). Other noteable characters include a big guy who leaves class to use the lavatory but never returns, and a zany double act consisting of slasher-flick obsessed Francis "Chain Saw" Gremp (played byDean Cameron from Ski School/Ski School 2) and his slacker side-kick Dave Frazier (Gary Riley, who you may recognize from Stand By me).
During the tough first class, a female History Professor, Robin Bishop (played by Kirstie Alley from Cheers, etc) visits the classroom and Shoop falls for her although she does not welcome his advances and it transpires that she is already dating Shoop's nemisis, Assistant Vice-Principal Phil Gills, intensifying the rivalry between Shoop and Gills.
The movie skips to the day that the exam results are announced, the students, their parents and Shoop are on campus and it transpires that not all the students have made the grade, despite all making a vast improvement. As a result Assistant Vice Principal Gills wants to fire Shoop. However, the parents of the students come to Mr. Shoop's defense on the basis of the vast improvement of their offsprings' performance. At this point Principal Kelban (Francis X. McCarthy) agrees that this is the most important thing and grants Mr. Shoop tenure. As for the romantic sub-plot between Shoop and Robin? The movie ends with them laying together on the beach together, kissing in the surf.

Top secret cargo. Plutonium from Canada?
Covert mission: Plutonium source might be Canada Questions being asked about mystery cargo BY IAN MACLEOD, OTTAWA CITIZEN MARCH 30, 2014 The nuclear fuel carrier Pacific Egret slipped into the harbour at Charleston, South Carolina, on March 19 and unloaded a top-secret cargo at the port's Naval Weapons Station.
Fitted with naval guns, cannons and extensive hidden means of repelling a terrorist assault, the three-year-old British vessel was purpose-built to transport plutonium, highly enriched uranium (HEU) and mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel on the high seas.
Its previous publicly reported position had been exiting the Mediterranean at the Strait of Gibraltar almost two weeks earlier on March 7, carrying a delicate nuclear cargo loaded at the La Spezia naval base in northern Italy.
As the vessel entered the North Atlantic that day, its tracking image vanished from an online marine traffic monitoring system. The ship the size of a football field became all but invisible to unauthorized eyes.
Questions are now being raised about whether the sensitive cargo included recycled plutonium that originated here in Canada.
The clandestine business of transporting shiploads of fissile nuclear materials between nations rarely comes into public view. An eight-kilogram piece of plutonium-239 the size of a grapefruit could obliterate much of Ottawa in seconds — as it did to Nagasaki in August 1945. It's aptly named after the ancient Greek god of the underworld………
It's believed that separated plutonium and HEU have been totally removed from 12 countries since U.S. President Barack Obama initiated the summits in 2010. In all, almost 3,000 kilograms of weapons-grade fissile materials have been removed or disposed of from 27 countries.
Yet there remains an estimated 490 tonnes of plutonium around the world for military and civilian use, plus approximately 1,250 tonnes of HEU, enough for more than 55,000 basic atomic bombs.
As a non-weapons state, Canada does not manufacturer HEU or reprocess spent reactor fuel to extract and recycle plutonium — a byproduct of nuclear fission. (In a conventional nuclear reactor, one kilogram of recycled plutonium-239 can produce sufficient heat to generate nearly 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. The downside is the risk of theft and nuclear proliferation.)
Instead, Canada imports small amounts of HEU from the U.S. as fuel for some research reactors — CANDU power reactors run on natural uranium — and for medical isotope production……….
What's more, the Canadian commission "has been made aware that a quantity of" plutonium extracted from Canadian-origin spent fuel and recycled into fresh MOX fuel "is being transferred from Italy to (the Savannah River Site) for disposal. Prior to it being rendered no longer usable for nuclear purposes, it will remain subject to the provisions of the Canada-U.S. (nuclear co-operation agreement)."
The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration later added that, "final determination of where the material will be processed is yet to be decided." As civilian material, it does not qualify for the Savannah River Site disposal program. That program, involving mostly U.S. and Russian military plutonium and HEU from dismantled nuclear weapons, in fact appears doomed under 2015 federal budget cuts.
The suggestion that the MOX fuel made from Canadian spent fuel will be stored at the Savannah River Site, rather than disposed of, angers nuclear activists and South Carolina residents.
The sprawling nuclear reserve is already home to countless leftover nuclear materials from the U.S. nuclear weapons program, including an estimated 13 tonnes of plutonium. Under a bilateral agreement between Canada and the U.S., it's also to receive intensely radioactive liquid HEU from Chalk River next year as well as decades-old spent HEU fuel from Chalk River's NRU research reactor and the former NRX research reactor.
Tom Clements, a nuclear materials expert and adviser to the South Carolina Chapter of the Sierra Club, says without a firm "disposition pathway" for the civilian MOX and separated plutonium arriving from foreign nations, local residents fear the Savannah River Site will be left "holding the plutonium bag."……….http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Covert+mission+Plutonium+source+might+Canada/9675369/story.html

If Guy Ritchie made "The Hangover" in the Netherlands, it might look something like "Black Out," a competent but convoluted crime thriller about a man who wakes up the day before his wedding beside a dead body with no memory of how he or it got there. With amusing quick thinking he finds an enormous suitcase and stuffs the corpse into it, but it doesn't quite fit; the head remains poking out of the top. So he gets a duffel bag, cuts a hole in the bottom, shoves it over the head, and walks out his front door in broad daylight.
A clever start. But from there director/writer Arne Toonen and co-writer Melle Runderkamp get a bit too clever, dragging their hungover hero Jos (Raymond Thiry) through a parade of altercations with cartoonish gangsters and cops. There's the flamboyant former figure skater turned drug dealer, and the wildly racist police detective, and the "coke connoisseur" who can tell a drug's purity just by rubbing it between her fingers, and the bumbling thieves who run a dog grooming salon, and the old underworld kingpin who's slowly dying, and his hired muscle, a pair of incredibly sexy, pop culture dissecting sisters. In the style of "Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels" or "Snatch" all these characters lives interweave into an intricate web of crime and macho posturing, with poor Jos the fly ensnared at its center. In the style of "The Hangover," he has no idea how he got there.
Jos used to work for the kingpin and used to be married to the coke connoisseur, but claims he's out of the business forever, looking only to settle down quietly with his soon-to-be wife. But during his mysterious blackout, Jos apparently stole quite a bit of cocaine from two different sets of criminals, and he also attracted the attention of both the police and his crooked soon-to-be-father-in-law, which means he has just one day to sort through his debts, clear his name (even though he might be guilty), dispose of a body, and find his wedding rings.
Toonen has clearly watched a lot of movies, and if nothing else, he's certainly an apt pupil. "Black Out" is the work of an undeniably gifted visual stylist and editor. Juggling this many storylines for a sustained period of time is not easy, and Toonen makes it look like it is. But juggling the same couple of balls over and over gets a bit tiresome after 90 minutes unless you mix a few other tricks in there — maybe a sword or a flaming torch. Other than one impressive third act twist, "Black Out" proceeds as you expect, and long before Jos gets his head right we've realized exactly where he's going. And why not? We've seen most of this stuff before in other movies.
"Black Out" is playing again at Fantastic Fest on Monday, September 24th at 12:05 PM.

Very cool! I have an old "leftie" version I picked up at an antique shop several years ago. This inspires me to restore that thing, as it has separated at many glue joints and shows its age. Well done! -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Tea Party Congressman Enters GOP Primary Against Sen. Cornyn In Texas
"We are extremely disappointed in the way he treated his fellow congressmen and broke the 11th commandment and undermined (Sen.) Ted Cruz's fight to stop Obamacare," Stockman told WND.com.
Stockman filed his candidacy for Cornyn's seat at 5:45 p.m. on Monday, just before the 6 p.m. filing deadline, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Stockman was first elected to Congress in 1994 and then lost reelection. He was elected a second time in 2012. Cornyn, a former Texas district judge and Texas attorney general, was first elected to the Senate in 2002. He won reelection in 2008.
Cornyn had gone to considerable lengths to prevent a tea party favorite like Stockman from running against him in the Republican primary. In July, the senior senator from Texas hired Brendan Steinhauser, formerly the director of campaigns for the pro-tea party FreedomWorks, to run his campaign. Cornyn has also run campaign ads highlighting his conservative record in order to prevent someone like Stockman from accusing him of being insufficiently conservative. That wasn't enough for Stockman though.
In his announcement Stockman went on to criticize Cornyn for opposing Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) effort to fund the government only if Obamacare is defunded.
"And now it looks like Cruz was right and Cornyn was wrong," Stockman said, adding that Cornyn "sided with the president, essentially, in making sure Obamacare became law while Cruz did everything possible to stop it."
Cornyn has defended his opposition to Cruz's approach as a tactical disagreement. The No. 2 Senate Republican has stressed that he strongly opposes Obamacare but there are other ways to fight the law.
"If you disagree with someone, that's fine, but I really believe you should do it privately, not so publicly," Stockman said. "He made a big show of removing his name from a letter supporting Cruz."
Stockman's decision to run against Cornyn will make the race for Cornyn's Senate seat a major stage in the so-called Republican civil war between the tea party and establishment wings of the GOP. It also means that the top two Republicans in the Senate -- Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the minority leader, and Cornyn, the minority whip -- are facing significant primary challengers in their reelection bids. Cornyn was the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, charged with getting Republicans elected to the Senate, from 2009 until earlier this year.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee was quick to stand by Cornyn. NRSC communications director Brad Dayspring called Stockman's decision a "head scratcher."
"John Cornyn is one of the most conservative Members in the Senate and strong leader for the state of Texas," Dayspring said in a statement. "We are proud to support Senator Cornyn and while this primary challenge is quite the head scratcher, it will be defeated."
In the hours after Stockman's announcement, aides for Cornyn had already begun calling attention to some of the likely weaknesses of Stockman's campaign. Drew Brandewie, a longtime Cornyn aide, noted over twitter that Stockman only has $32,027 cash on hand, a pittance compared to the $7 million war chest Cornyn has amassed toward his reelection campaign, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
"Stockman had $32,027 cash on hand and $163,010 in debt." http://t.co/3u8B10AHFn

Interview: Paul Auster on His Newest Novel, Man in the Dark
Credit: Lotte Hansen
Paul Auster 7 p.m., Wednesday, September 10 Barnes & Noble Union Square 33 East 17th Street 212-253-0810
Man in the Dark Henry Holt & Company 180 pp., $23
A man who settled and wrote in Brooklyn long before all the hot young literary things were jostling to do the same, Paul Auster has fourteen novels to his name (including The New York Trilogy and The Brooklyn Follies), plus a large body of non-fiction work that includes poetry, translations, screenplays, memoirs, essays, etc. Auster's most recent novel, Man in the Dark, finds 72-year-old book critic August Brill wiling away his insomniac nights by telling himself stories about an America in which Bush is still in the Oval Office, but the Twin Towers remain standing. In the waking world, the Iraq war is in full swing, and Brill is justifiably depressed—especially since he's largely lost the use of his legs. (Is it any accident that Auster makes his book critic legless?)

In advance of his reading at Barnes & Noble tomorrow, Paul Auster spoke to the Voice from his home in Brooklyn (which he shares with his wife, the writer Siri Hustvedt), about his new novel, Iraq, and how he feels when reviewers call his work "lazy." —Ruth McCann
Man in the Dark is understandably gloomy about Iraq. After the Democratic and Republican conventions, how are you feeling about the war?
Things have quieted down a bit, but we're still there, and it's still a mess. I'm praying that we can start pulling out soon.
Are you feeling better than August Brill?
Not particularly, no.
Did you read the review of Man in the Dark in the San Francisco Chronicle?
I looked at it—I just glanced.
The writer, Stephen Elliott, said your earlier work is "lazy, in the best sense of the word," and then said that "Man in the Dark is so unlike anything Auster has ever written that it doesn't make sense to compare it with his earlier work." What are your thoughts on that?
Reading that, I was rather thrown back. I mean, if anything has ever been said about me consistently, it's how tightly constructed and tightly written all my books are, so I don't understand this "lazy" term. I was completely flummoxed.
You've spent a lot of time translating various pieces of French writing. Do you think that process changed the way you write in English?
I think the one thing translation helped me with was making economical sentences in my own language. I did two kinds of translation: one was for money, and those were all prose books, some of them not very interesting at all, some quite good. And then I translated poems out of love, and I think the exercise of translating poems, especially for young poets, is irreplaceable. It's better than going to a poetry workshop. If you tackle a truly good poem, even a great poem, you have to inhabit it—you have to get inside it in a way that a mere reading of the poem doesn't allow you to do. And then you have to break it down and then put it all back together again.
Do you still write poetry?
I only write poems for family occasions now, weddings and birthdays. And they're all comical, rhyming poems. I like to keep the family laughing.
In the acceptance speech you gave when you received the Prince of Asturias Prize for Letters, you said that children's stories give children the opportunity to confront their own "fears and inner torments in a perfectly safe and protected environment." What do you think about the theory that Coetzee talks about briefly in Elizabeth Costello that reading and writing about evil is somehow bad for us?
I'm a very big fan of Coetzee's work, and he's in fact a friend of mine. But I don't necessarily agree with that. I think, first of all, that no subject is taboo. A writer has to be able to feel open enough to address anything in the universe. And tackling evil head-on is something that falls within the realm of the possible for writers. I don't think turning away from things is the way to deal with them.
In Man in the Dark, Brill's daughter is writing a biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne's daughter, Rose. How did you come across her?
I'm a Hawthorne fanatic. He's probably my favorite American writer, and I've read so much about him and his family, so I know all about Rose. [In Man in the Dark,] there's such a glancing reference to her, but the full story is really very interesting. When she started treating cancer patients right here in New York on the Lower East Side (the house still exists, by the way, it's called Rosary House), cancer was considered a communicable disease, and cancer patients were generally isolated like lepers. But she lived among the patients and took care of them, and it was a brave thing to do, and a remarkable thing to do. And she wrote that book about her father in order to make money to support her work with the cancer patients.
The passage you quote is extraordinary.
Auster: It's beautiful—it's the end of the book. And it's so moving, isn't it?
Paul Auster reads tomorrow night, Wednesday, September 10, 7pm, at the Barnes & Noble Union Square, 33 East 17th Street, 212-253-0810.

Passion Fruit Pavlova
Pavlova, an airy confection named in honor of Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova, consists of a meringue base crowned with fruit and capped with whipped cream. Traditionally, the meringue base has a soft, nearly marshmallow-like center, but for this recipe, brought to us by renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, it is crisp and light.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living Television, February 2001
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- Passion Fruit Sorbet
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 2 passion fruits, halved
Preheat a convection oven to 200 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip egg whites until frothy. Slowly add granulated sugar. Whip until very stiff peaks form. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in confectioners' sugar with a rubber spatula.
Fill two 6-dome flexible baking sheets with meringue, using the back of a spoon to form a hollow shell, about 3/8 inch thick. Bake for 2 hours or until dry. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Gently remove meringues from molds. To allow for some breakage, you will have extra meringues.
Dip one meringue shell in whipped cream. Place on a plate, and fill with a scoop of sorbet. Dip another meringue shell in whipped cream, and place it on top of sorbet. Using a spoon, scoop the seeds from the passion fruit halves, and use to garnish the dessert. Repeat process with remaining meringue shells. Serve immediately.

Think you're too old to go out to play? Well you're wrong! This article is going to tell you all about outdoor fitness for over 45 so that you can get out to play and frolic in the great outdoors while also working your body and getting healthy at the same time. Getting fit isn't about being tied to the treadmill or following a fad diet or workout DVD; it's about finding activities that you enjoy so that you want to keep doing them.
As we get older and busier, being able to multitask and get as much done as quickly as possible is what it's all about. We're living in a world where people are eating breakfast while they drive or having conference calls while doing the laundry! This leaves us little, if any, time for exercise and looking after ourselves which is why outdoor fitness for over 45 is a must. Getting outside for some physical activity isn't only about dropping a few pounds or toning up. It's about getting out into the open air and enjoying the sunshine, the trees and a change of scenery as much as it is about improving your fitness. Being outside allows you a freedom when it comes to fitness that you won't find any place else. A little time spent outside can rejuvenate you in a way that a run on the treadmill never could and it can add bounce to your step on a beautiful day. The outdoors is always open no matter what your schedule so you can always count on it to be there for you when you need a walk or a run or a ride on your bike.
We all know that fitness is important for our physical health. And, most people have heard at one point or another that fitness is also important for our mental health and well being. What a lot of people still don't know is that heading outdoors for fitness—over45 and otherwise—is the best way to get the vitamin D that we need. The sun is what gives our body vitamin D. And, getting enough vitamin D has been proven to be linked to decreasing our risk of some cancers, as has regular exercise. By combining both fitness and the outdoors we are killing several birds with one stone, so to speak. How's that for multitasking! By participating in outdoor activities we can improve the way we look and feel and literally add years to our lives. All of this for simply getting outside and having some fun!
Outdoor fitness for over 45 doesn't have to be dull or boring either. You can pretty much get out there and do anything that you want as long as it gets you moving. You can take an outdoor boot camp fitness class or join a walking or running group so that you can meet new people while getting fit. Or, if you've been so busy that you've hardly seen your family or friends, why not spend time at the park playing ball together? And if fun is what you're after, then get outside and skip, run or dance! No one is stopping you but you!

Asheville Event Co. is behind some of my very favorite weddings ever. They layer love with style in a way that is unparalleled and this wedding might just be my all time favorite of their weddings. Ever. Caroline Ghetes captured the Lonesome Valley wedding and you're about to see why it's my favorite!
From the planner… Ida + Clay love to drive…They met in high school but it wasn't until they re-met later in life that the sparks flew. With their affinity for the mountains of Western North Carolina it was appropriate that they find the perfect place to exchange their vows. So…while driving along the windy road from Highlands to Sapphire they just happened to pass Lonesome Valley. They both thought it was the perfect place to celebrate their wedding and they were in luck since Canyon Kitchen had recently begin hosting weddings.
This was a rustic, American/Persian wedding and we loved being a part of it! The Persian ceremony was very unique and touching, and filled with personal touches – handmade pillows, rustic pews. The reception was filled with handmade desserts, carpet coasters and the Persian/American meal that James Beard Nominee Chef Fleer created. At the end of the night the guests danced the night away and roasted s'mores over an open fire.

Posted Wed 18th of June 2008
i wanted her, i took her
im steve, im 20, 6 ft and slim and this what i did to beth. it started when i was helping this 14 year old ben with his school work. i tutor and mentor kids who have learning and behavioural difficulties. unlike most of the kids i work with i got onreally well with him, and eventually i started to get to know his family, hismum and dad, and his little sister beth. the more i came to the house to help ben the more the family got to know and trust me. Eventually i was adopted as a new friendof the family. to behonest icouldnt care less about the family, all i wanted was beth. beth is 9, about 3 or 4 ft tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, missing a couple ofbaby teeth, the sort of kid that'll grow up into a stunner. the first time isaw her i wasnt that bothered, but as winter turned tosummer and her clothes started to come off, the more i noticed her. one day i saw her inthe garden pool, withher little pink bikini playing in the water smiling and laughing. thats when i decided if i ever got the chance i'd have her. one day my opportunity came.
the parents had togo away for the weekend and needed a sitter, ben and beth both asked for me. I wasnt even there first choice but after enough pressure from the kids they reluctantly asked me to look after them. pretending i wasnt that bothered i said yes.They left friday night, werecoming back sunday evening. i thought about takingmy time with beth, not rushing into anything. fuck it, i never had any self control. i encouraged ben to take his oportunity and get out of the house and go see his friends, i promised i wouldnt tell. so it was just me and beth alone in the house. just as i made sure ben was gone, i closed the door and looked up the staircase, shouted to bethif she was okay, she shouted back asking if wanted to come and play on the wii with her in her room. i got into her room, turned ofthe console, that didnt impress her, so i told her we were going toplay something else, her eyes lit up and she asked what is it? i got her to sit on her bed, i sat next to her right. i put my hand on her thigh and slowly worked it up to her crotch under night dress. she tried to resist, so i pushed her on her back and rolled onto her. she said she didnt like the game and wanted stop. i whispered in her ear it doesnt stop till i say it stops. i reached and started to slide her little pink panties off, she started to cry. i climbed off her picked her up and threw her to the floor. pulled my pants off and took of my tshirt. i stood in front of her grabbed her head and moved myy dick toher mouth. she kept her mouth shut so i hit her and then she started to cry louder. with her mouth open i shoved my dick in her mouth and rammed it right to the back, her little 9 year old mouth struggled to take it but forced it in. she started to cough and gag and combined with pulling her hair more tears rolled down her cheeks. just then she vomited her dinner back all over my dick, her night dress and the carpet. icalled her a stupid bitch and made lick my dick clean then fed her, her own vomit fromthe carpet, by holding her face down in it. i stood up to admire the sight, i thought she still crying so i gave her something to cry over, i kicked her in the side, she tried to crawl away and just cornered herself, and in that corner i beat her till she got the message to stop crying. i was carful not to touch her face,i didnt want that ruined. i grabbed her ankles and draggedher into the middle of the room and climbed over her. i told her this was my favourite part of the game. i pulled her legs as far apart as they'd go and pushed right into her, i popped her cherry, i love that feeling! She screamed so i headbutted her, breaking her nose and causing blood to flow, i didnt shut her up so i stuffed her pants in her mouth and continued ramming her, i could feel my self about to come, so i decided before that happened i wanted to make her torture complete. i rolled her over and without even warning her i forced my manhood into her TIGHT little ass. She screamed and moaned and cried into her gag and thrashed around trying to escape. i carried on splitting her in two enjoing the sight of her bleeding ass and pussy. then i couldnt hold it any more so i pulled out flipped her over and came all over her tear soaked and now cum soaked face. i rubbed it all in her face and mouth. then grabbed her hair and cleand my dick and hands in it. i got up threw her clothes at her and told her to put some clothes before ben gets back. a while later i was tele, thinking how i was going to explain to her parents all the bruises on beth's body. when ben came running through the front door with blood on his clothes and trainers. He said if anyone asks i was with you all night, i laughed and said if anyone asks we were playing xbox ALL night, and we never saw beth or how she hurt herself in her room. he looked a me for a second tofigure out what wa sgoing on, he shrugged his shoulders and said deal. he ran up stairs to change and wash his clothes, i laughed to my self and carried on watching tele.

Well, I kinda liked it. it was short and (id like to say sweet buuuut come on..... lol)
I did like the idea behind it, but I think it was truly mislabeled. im not into the whole humiliation bit to it. I mean, dont get me wrong, I like dungeon stories, but this was just more of a deep south Hera complex. It wasnt even slightly boner-raising. Actually, when you got to the part about her vomiting and whatnot, I actually lost my boner, which I had BEFORE coming in to this. its not bad, really. Just punctuation and grammar, and proper tags.

Wow. Just wow. I get that this is a rape story (thanks for the tag on that, by the way) but I think you are missing some tags. Humiliation would be one that is glaringly obvious. Also, you may want to take a bit more time in editing, since you have ALOT of words that run together. And some paragraph structure would be helpful.
As a parent though, I can tell you, they will NOT accept the 'I have no idea what happened' defense in this situation. There is to much damage to the child for them to accept it was an accident. Add to that that both kids are hurt, and your ass is in jail very quickly.
