I don't trust in dolce & gabbana anymore,after all those fragrances i have tested and owned and after all those disappointments on projection and longevity and sillage i decide to STAY AWAY from that designer and i suggest to everyone to the same,because it is just waste of money...Velvet Wood 1.6 oz on ebay cost $472 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? REALLLLLLYYYYYYY...
Velvet Wood is one of the biggest 'gotcha' scents out there.
It starts out with a great ebony note that goes from powerful to weak in 10 minutes.
All projection is lost within 1-2 hours.
Smells great but ridiculous performance.
This is such a pleasing scent. So sexy and warm yet fresh and woody. The retail price is an absolute joke, but it can be found for between $110-$140 if you look in the right places.
Scent - 10/10
Longevity 6/10
Projection 6/10
Overall 8/10
I've been wearing{ 4-5 sprays} of this since I got it for about a week now guys and I must say, the longevity is actually very much better than I initially portrayed. It's the projection that doesn't last as long as I wish but i along with others can smell this as I move around 8+ hours later. I am confident to say, at this point in time this is probably THE BEST SMELLING scent I currently own in my collection. It really is. It smells so good. If you like stuff like, Hermes TDH, or sir li nil, fresh woody scents , then blind buy this, other wise...get a sample asap!
New fragrance review just posted on YouTube about this fragrance too, my channel is ConsumerThis
Ahhhh man....what a great woody fragrance. It is what it says it is....wood....but the benzoin helps it become so much more.
The picture it paints me is....walking into a lumber yard on a hot day. The fresh cut wood is very moist and fresh. Not much more than that, but it doesn't need to be.
As it seems with all my favorite smells, the longevity seems to lack, big time as well with the projection....
It's very odd because at first spray it seems its going to be very heavy and cloying, but 5 minutes later it becomes very quiet close to the skin. 2 Hours after I sprayed my hand twice, the smell is very faint.....it's a bummer.
scent: 8.5/10
Longevity: 4/10
Projection: 3/10
Overall: I would purchase if the performance was better.
EDIT******: Okay after a lot of debating I have decided to make the purchase. It's still very faint on the card, but the whiffs keep me coming back for more. It's almost addictive wanting to smell the sweet resinous wood....man oh man.
One of the better of the velvet collection I have tested. It's subtle, but good. Id pay 30$ for a bottle and be happy I own it. Not 270-500$ even if I were bill gates. Another Gucci pour homme I wannabe.
Very nice warm woody scent, medium sillage and mediocre duration, on my skin at least...
270 Euros here in Greece. I guess the target group are the tourists from the Arabian Emirates, and the unfaithful husbands who want to make it up to their wives, as a divorce and alimony for the rest of their lives will cost them an arm and both legs... With this perfume, they save the legs at least!
Pros: Nice leather accord
Just tested about 20 different high end designers and Velvet Wood was by far the most outstanding scent of them all.
I get a nice leather accord very well blended with wood. I'm not sure if it's ebony wood alone but the combination seems fabulous.
This is a fragrance with high potential to make someone addicted!
4 thumbs up!
Only got wood out of this. A nice scent, not too strong. Warm, spicy, balmy. Not too much going on here. I liked it, but not too crazy about it. Too expensive for what it is. Try it.
Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Wood Perfume for women 1.6 oz Eau De Parfum
Price: $475.99
Really!!!! ugh!
Autumn leaves; you may try Montale Patchouli leaves or Les Nereides Patchouli Antique. Both are very autumn frags, with leaves in the background. The Montale is a little bit aristrocratic; cognac, tobacco, chocolate, wealthy library. Les Nereides is much more animalistic and close to nature.
I'm seeking a fragrance that has the scent of damp Autumn leaves in a forest. Any suggestions?
A vague woody fragrance, with limited development. Did not get any leather here at all, just the wood.
Hmmm, D & G do a Lutens? I'll be interested to see what these smell like - it would be nice to purchase decent 'nichey' fragrances but made easily available. Maybe they will return to 'By' form with these or even better, hopefully.

Education and Innovation Adoption in Agriculture: Evidence from Hybrid Rice in China
This paper uses the diffusion of F1 hybrid rice as a case for examining the effects of education on the adoption of new technology in China. A simple behavioral model that treats the adoption of hybrid rice as a portfolio selection problem is presented. The implications of the model are tested with farm-level data collected from a sample of 500 households in Hunan Province. The results from a dichotomous probit model and a two-limit tobit model are consistent with the hypothesis that education has a positive impact on the adoption of new technology.

No the vials of tritium are the same size on either set, it's the white plastic ring around them that is bigger.
My husband has the big dot on his, I have the regular one on mine.
I'm having absolutely no problem acquiring my front sight.
I haven't shot my husband's big dots yet because, well, I'm waiting for my hand to heal. I'll certainly do some shooting through both and see which I like better.
However, my husband has already had to file out more space in some of his holsters for the big dot and that's something I haven't had to worry about with the regular dot. Not a huge thing, but something to consider, certainly.

Showing {Heartfelt} Thanks
Hi, I'm Beth Helmstetter of Beth Helmstetter Events and am completely honored to share some tips with all of you savvy hostesses out there! With all the reasons we have to get together and celebrate – from weddings and birthdays to holidays and other special occasions, your lives will be filled with amazing shindigs and hopefully you will even do a little entertaining of your own.
As your guests leave your fabulous parties, don't forget to give thanks. My favorite thing to do when I'm feeling especially grateful for is to take the time to write a meaningful thank you letter to each guest. Not the, "thanks for being part of the day," typical stuff you see everyday, but a letter that really tells guests what they mean to your life including lessons each person has taught you and favorite memories you share. Something really from the heart.
Once you put your truest feelings on paper, find a beautiful way to package the letter. Again, something that says, "this is more than your standard thank you note," but instead screams, "there is something very special inside and it's just for you." A beautiful jewelry pouch, decorative box or even just a scroll tied with a luxurious ribbon, all work perfectly. In the end, you will be surprised how meaningful it will be to the recipient that they have been given something so thoughtful and unexpected.
One tip, however, is, give yourself PLENTY of time to write each note. Don't try to do more than one or two letters per day leading up to the event. This gift only works well when done right. So take the time to really reflect on your relationship with each guest and let them know how thankful you are to have them both during the celebration and everyday!
2 responses to "Showing {Heartfelt} Thanks"
I agree – thank you notes that are from the heart, and sincere (not just the normal generic card) is a great idea.
Where can I find those super cute jewelry pouches?

Great arcade game, albeit pretty hard. Decent fun, although the fun ran out after dying multiple times in the same spot. Decent graphics, some audio, no humor. Decent overall, good job mate.
Yeah it is quite hard, but nice game anyway!
I almost thought it just doesn't work for me until I realized the help sign says "K" to start and not "X", as I didn't read it first that carefully.
Thanks! I was practically dead at the point of implementing the directions, and I apologize. The K is hard to read and the WASD should be the arrow keys! Glad you figured it out though :P
Great game. Not really innovative but a good play. Pretty tough up there, esp. with the wall jump through the spikes.
The 'K' to start is nasty, I wouldn't have figured it out without reading comments.
Hard, but a very decent rainbow islands-style platformer. Love the minimal graphics.
A fun retro platformer. I managed to get the first key before dying. With the right tweaks, this could be pretty awesome. Without them, it's kinda frustrating.
The 'K' thing nearly made me thing the game was totally broken, though.

- Parent Collection: Adams Papers
Adams Family Correspondence
Below is a list of in-print works in this collection, presented in series order or publication order as applicable.
Sort by title, author, format, publication date, or price »1. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 1 and 2: December 1761-March 1778 The Adams Family Correspondence, Mr. Butterfield writes, "is an unbroken record of the changing modes of domestic life, religious views and habits, travel, dress, servants, food, schooling, reading, health and medical care, diversions, and every other conceivable aspect of manners and taste among the members of a substantial New England family who lived on both sides of the Atlantic and wrote industriously to each other over a period of more than a century." These volumes are the first in the estimated twenty or more in Series 2 of The Adams Papers. | |
3. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 3 and 4: April 1778-September 1782 The letters in these volumes, written from both sides of the Atlantic, chronicle the nearly five years in which John Adams—in successive missions to Europe, accompanied first by one son, then by two—initiated what would be a continuing role for Adamses in three generations: representing their country and advancing its interests in the capitals of Europe. If the letters of John and Abigail are central, those written by others are hardly less interesting: the concerns of young John Quincy at school in Leiden and his observations of St. Petersburg at age fourteen; the adventure-filled return voyage of Charles, aged eleven, to America; and the interests of the younger Abigail, maturing in Braintree. | |
5. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 5 and 6: October 1782–December 1785 With the summer of 1784, most of the family reunited to spend nearly a year together in Europe. Their correspondence expanded to include an ever larger and more fascinating range of Cultural topics and international figures. The record of this remarkable expansion, these volumes document John Adams's diplomatic triumphs, his wife Abigail and daughter's participation in the cosmopolitan scenes of Paris and London, and his son John Quincy's travels in Europe and America. | |
7. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 7: January 1786-February 1787 In their myriad letters to one another the Adamses interspersed observations about their own family life—births and deaths, illnesses and marriages, new homes and new jobs, education and finances—with commentary on the most important social and political events of their day, from the scandals in the British royal family to the deteriorating political situation in Massachusetts that eventually culminated in Shays' Rebellion. | |
8. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 8: March 1787-December 1789 By early 1787, as this latest volume of the award-winning series Adams Family Correspondence opens, John and Abigail Adams, anticipating a quiet retirement from government in Massachusetts, were quickly pulled back into the public sphere by John's election as the first vice president under the new Constitution. With their characteristic candor, the Adamses thoughtfully observe the world around them, from the manners of English court life to the politics of the new federal government in New York during this crucial historical period. | |
9. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 9: January 1790 – December 1793 1790–1793 marked the beginning of the American republic, a contentious period as the nation struggled to create a functioning government amid bitter factionalism. As usual, the Adams family was in the midst of it all. This volume offers insight into the family and the frank commentary on life that readers have come to expect from the Adamses. | |
10. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 10: January 1794–June 1795 The Adams family comments on national and international events, from America's growing tensions with Britain and France to virulent domestic political factionalism and the Whiskey Rebellion. The most significant event for the Adamses was John Quincy's appointment as U.S. minister resident at The Hague, the beginning of a long diplomatic career. | |
11. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 11: July 1795–February 1797 The letters in this volume of Adams Family Correspondence span the period from July 1795 to the eve of John Adams's inauguration, with the growing partisan divide leading up to the election playing a central role. The fiery debate over funding the Jay Treaty sets the political stage, and the caustic exchanges between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans only grow as rumors surface of George Washington's impending retirement. John's equanimity in reporting to Abigail and his children on the speculation about the presidential successor gives way to expectation and surprise at the voracity of electioneering among political allies and opponents alike. Abigail offers keen, even acerbic, commentary on these national events. From Europe, John Quincy and Thomas Boylston shed light on the rise of the French Directory, the shifts in the continental war, and the struggles within the Batavian government, and John Quincy's engagement to Louisa Catherine Johnson in London opens the next great collection of correspondence documenting the Adams family saga. | |
12. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 12: March 1797–April 1798 Volume 12 opens with John Adams's inauguration as president and closes just after details of the XYZ affair become public in America. Through private correspondence, and with the candor and perception expected from the Adamses, family members reveal their concerns for the well-being of the nation and the sustaining force of domestic life. | |
13. | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 13: May 1798–September 1799 The candid letters of John, Abigail, and the Adams children offer a rich perspective on life in America during its infancy. The almost 300 letters in volume 13 of Adams Family Correspondence were written during seventeen tumultuous months of John Adams's presidency, when he depended on surrogates for much of his family correspondence. |

Well, there was alot of people against him on the subject, he might have been upset about it. Again, I'm not backing him up of any sort, I just consider peoples perspectives and opinions on the matter. For a start, the original subject of the thread was about how he was against *** marriage. Which I am fully for, seeing as I have been in a relationship with my own sex many a time. All I'm saying is he was blocked for expressing an opinion and people are sticking having a little kick about it. Like children who have to have the last word.

Neon is often used in advertising signs. |
Atomic Number: | 10 | Atomic Radius: | 154 pm (Van der Waals) |
Atomic Symbol: | Ne | Melting Point: | -258.59 °C |
Atomic Weight: | 20.18 | Boiling Point: | -246.08 °C |
Electron Configuration: | [He]2s22p6 | Oxidation States: | -- |
From the Greek word neos, new. Discovered by Ramsay and Travers in 1898. Neon is a rare gaseous element present in the atmosphere to the extent of 1 part in 65,000 of air. It is obtained by liquefaction of air and separated from the other gases by fractional distillation.
Natural neon is a mixture of three isotopes. Six other unstable isotopes are known.
Neon is a very inert element, however, it has been reported to form a compound with fluorine. It is still questionable if true compounds of neon exist, but evidence is mounting in favor of their existence. The ions, Ne+, (NeAr)+, (NeH)+, and (HeNe+) are known from optical and mass spectrometric studies. Neon also forms an unstable hydrate.
In a vacuum discharge tube, neon glows reddish orange.
It has over 40 times more refrigerating capacity per unit volume than liquid helium and more than three times that of liquid hydrogen. It is compact, inert, and is less expensive than helium when it meets refrigeration requirements.
Of all the rare gases, the discharge of neon is the most intense at ordinary voltages and currents.
Although neon advertising signs account for the bulk of its use, neon also functions in high-voltage indicators, lightning arrestors, wave meter tubes, and TV tubes. Neon and helium are used in making gas lasers. Liquid neon is now commercially available and is finding important application as an economical cryogenic refrigerant.

I am Kiran from the IT capital of INDIA Bangalore city. I have always been explosively active in my sex life. I have had a couple of girlfriends with whom I used to smooch regularly.. Please send me your honest replies to [email protected] Females from Bangalore,if you interested in having a secret sexual relationship then Please do contact me at [email protected]
This is a real story not a made up story, because I am not a scrip writer or a storyteller. Last couple of months back the sex goddess showered me with a blessing and I am very happy to write to u my sex experience with a gorgeous married women. Here I m going to share a best sex experience of my life. I am 22 , and to tell about myself, I am a good looking with athletic body and doing my studies in Bangalore. I hope I am not boring to u all, let's get in to the real story, which happened couple of months back.
I am very interested in chatting… One fine day when I was in home & was in to the chat room and looking for females to chat, any way I am not interested to chat with any guys, I was only looking for females to chat. One day met a female called Savitha from Bangalore (Name Changed here bcoz of secrecy and even I did not like to write the story, with her support and encouragement and she asked me to write this story). I introduced myself and told her my hobbies etc., as lot of people do on chat and asked her about her personal matters like hobbies etc bla bla. We chatted as friendly for couple of weeks and later on I came to know that she was married and her hubby works in USA for a IT Company and he comes once in a year and her husband had left her to USA after 6 months of there marriage. Some how we found interest in each other and we decide to meet each other in a coffee day to have a cup of coffee.
We didn't have any difficult in finding each other because we had exchanged photos of the first week itself, when we started chatting. Let me describe Savitha, she was very gorgeous and awesome fig of 38 34 38 any men, would look twice, if she walks past them. She had the best figure, slim with long thick hairs until her hips. As planned we meet each other and we had a teddy bear hug and as soon she hugged I could feel the warmth of her body, we had a small discussion about Bangalore, her family and my family and we ended up saying bye to each other by kissing on cheeks. Later on we used to chat regularly and from the day we meet, we started to chat bit about sex and latter on she confessed, that she had no sex life, as her husband is not next to her every night and she hugs a pillow and some times masturbates herself. This went on for few more weeks chatting about sex and listening to all her stories,
I got motivated and decided to ask, if she needs or interested in sex with me. Fraction of a second I got the best reply from her YES, I was like in the heaven flying high. I said to her that it would be on one condition that it will be for One Night Stand only. Because I did not want to be in any relationship or in to love. For that she had the same thinking. So, I asked her when's the day would be, she told me very soon. After a week's time in the morning I got a call from her and she said her parents in Laws are going out of station to Delhi for couple of days and asked me, if I could come to her home after 2 pm that afternoon and stay with her. I readily agreed for her invitation (Tell me who wouldn't agree for that). As usual I left home to college and lied to my mom that I am going to friends place to sleep over and I will be back home the next day. Packed up a set of my clothes and left.
As she had asked me to come at 2 pm, I reached there at 2. When my clock ticked exactly at 2 pm, I rang to her to find her address, she gave me her address and it took another 15 mins to find her place. It was an apartment, so the security had to call her and I was allowed inside. She lived in a posh apartment and she was in the third floor. One best thing living in the apartment is, no one knows, where the guest goes, except the security. I didn't want to get myself tired before itself, so I took the lift to the thirds floor and was about to knock on her door, suddenly the door opened and she welcomed me. We again hugged with kiss on cheeks and took me over to the living room and asked me to sit on sofa and I made myself comfortable.
She served me with cool drinks I decided not to hurry for as not to scare Savitha as it was her first time with other men, besides her husband. She brought her cool drinks and sat opposite to me and I could see her cheeks were shining as she was blushing like a rose. I felt like kissing her that moment, but had to control my emotions. We chatted for some time. She was getting un formal all the way, she even prepared some snacks in the kitchen that we enjoyed with our cool drinks. I took courage and stood up and sat next to her with my body touching hers from the side. She laid her head on my shoulders and closed her eyes. I just dropped my free hand on her cheeks and started feeling her smooth cheeks and moved my fingers near her rosy lips, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit my finger, though it did not hurt me, I smiled back to her and lift her face and taught it was time to taste her to each and every limit. She hugged me very tight and whispered in my ears to go to her bedroom. We both in hands on each other shoulders, we made our way to her bedroom.
We sat on her bed and In fact I did not like to waste a single second, so I took her face in both my hands and started to kiss from her beautiful closed eyes. I planted one small kiss on each of her eyelids. Then kissed her beautiful nose tip. I was holding myself not to hurry and enjoy each and every moment. Then kissed her cheeks, oh, it was wonderful and now was the turn of her rose petal lips. My heart was pounding at great speed while I took her lower lip in my both lips and wiped my tongue on her lip. I was not new to sex or neither to her, it had been like a cup of tea for me but still Savitha was sending in shocks through my spine. I could not hold on any longer and locked my mouth with her's. I tried to taste her tongue and was greeted readily by her's as she tried to suck my tongue.
The taste was really wonderful, at that moment I felt that I want Savitha to be mine forever. We carried on our passionate kiss for few more minutes, and then I moved to her cute tits. I tried to feel her tiny cute boobs from above her Blouse. On feeling my grip on her tits, she gave out a soft moan. I got pretty excited from the looks on her face. I dropped down her sari pallu and planted a kiss on her fair cute tummy. She was in black blouse, and started to unhook it and she co-operated to unhook the blouse. As soon as I unhooked the blouse, I could see her small cute tits trying to look beyond the beautiful black bra of hers. I could not hold on longer to let myself deprived of the taste of her naked cute boobs. I inserted both my hands from her back and tried to look for her bra hook. She lifted her body in order to make the things easier for me. Within a second I freed up her cute tits from her netted bra. Oh, the scene was driving me crazy, like I had never seen before. Her small tits were very fair with a pink accent. Her beautiful nipples were fully erect to the excitement.
I caressed one of her nipples with my lips and tried to make it grow more into my mouth by stimulating it with my tongue. Meanwhile, I laid my other free hand on her other nipple, trying to feel its growing dimensions. At this, Savitha started moaning in pleasure. I kept tickling her senses for some time and then tried to suck her boobs one by one by trying to take all of the tasty stuff into my mouth. I played my mouth on her tits until they turned red in heat and excitement. At this stage Savitha was trying to sneak her hands inside her Sari in order to reach her cunt, this indicated to me that, now is the time to give my cute Savitha more. I interrupted her attempt and opened the folds of her sari and the sari dropped down in no time and she was not wearing anything except her black panty. I think she was prepared for the excitement today.
I guess, black was her favorite color. She again tried to reach her hand to her cunt, but again I interrupted and offered my services to satisfy her hot desires. I pulled down her panty to find a hairless cleaned beautiful golden gate. She was really prepared herself well for the event. I could feel the wetness of her pussy lips with my hand rubbing smoothly on her pink tight cunt. My touch on her cunt sent a shiver through her and she gave out a soft moan. AHHH. I knew, this all was going to be really great. I laid her on the bed & now her lovely cute naked body was in front of me in its full glory. She was watching my eyes scanning her beautiful body. She gave a smile, got up and reached to unbutton of my shirt, which I helpfully let her do, and later on she had her hands on my flier of my jeans and in one go she unzipped and later on unhooking my jeans. I could hear her breath getting heavier and heavier as she pulled my jeans down. I helped her by taking off my shoes and socks to provide a way for her to pull off my jeans completely. She got a little brave at this and pulled down my undies at once freeing up my hot erect rod. She looked into my eyes and smiled back at me. We both were naked now. I took her one hand and place on my hot erect rod.
I felt an electric shock at that stage, she brought her other hand and placed on my dick, her small cute hands, which felt so smooth and later on she planted a kiss on the bulging tip of my dick. The feeling of her lips touching my organ sent out a shivering wave in my body. With my dick in her beautiful soft hands, she asked me to lie down on the bed, which I was more than obedient to do. She knelt down between both my legs and took the bulging tip of my dick in her mouth. She licked my dick for sometime until it was hard and erect to its maximum. I liked the job done by her lips, so pulled her towards me in order to reward her beautiful lips by locking them with mine and let her taste my tongue. We both were now hot and excited to the limit. I made Savitha lie on the bed facing the ceiling widened her legs to knelt there. I bent over her cunt in order to do what I like the most in sex. I touched her beautiful wet cunt with my tongue and she gave out a soft moan like AHHHH OHHHH. I grasped her clit between my lips and pulled my lips to let it slide over her clit. At this, she shivered and gave out a soft cry again. Repeated the same sequence for some time until she was moaning loudly which was exciting me to hell.
Then I pushed the tip of my tongue into her tight cunt and grasped the swollen lips of her pussy with my lips. I started sucking madly and along with continued to swirl my tongue. This made her go crazy and she was screaming in joy. She was pinching her nipples with her one hand and her other hand was on the back of my head with her cute little fingers combing through my hair. I continued this for few minutes, and she gave out a loud cry in pleasure along with flooding my mouth with her sweet juices. She was shaking in pleasure and screaming loudly. I continued sucking with both of my hands on her hips holding them tightly so as to feel the vibrations of her body. I sucked her for few more moments until her orgasm calmed down. Looked at her face, her small eyes were closed and there was a beautiful smile on her face. She was still enjoying her first orgasm. She was looking so beautiful, sexy and appealing at that time. I got over her and hugged her tightly and sucked her lips. She responded so as to reward me for the good work.
I got in the field again and asked her to bend her legs on knees, and lift her hips. I pushed a pillow under her buttocks so as to lift her cunt to the height of my dick while I knelt. I rubbed the bulging tip of my dick over her wet tight cunt. I let the tip of my dick fondle with her excited clit. I kept rubbing my dick on her cunt for sometime so as to wet it with her sweet juices thoroughly. She liked it and motivated me by her soft moaning. I got excited at her moans and tried to push my dick inside her cunt, but in vain the tip of my dick tried to find a little space for itself to adjust in but this made Savitha cry in pain and she tried to resist the insertion. I gave up this attempt and tried to finger fuck her little tight cunt for a while.
I started with my index finger with its tip rubbing on her clit and then pushed my finger a little inside her clit while she was moaning in pleasure. I tried to push my finger inside her further and kept rubbing her clit with my other hand. On further insertion, I felt signs of little pain on her face, but she did not stop me. Now started a little to and fro movement of my finger inside her pussy and started licking and sucking her clit with my tongue. I pushed in my middle finger also along with to accompany my index finger to the same depth. Not wasting much time, she started shaking again in pleasure. She was about to cum again. The moment she screamed as her orgasm was on peak, I pushed my two fingers as deep as I could into her cunt. She was screaming loudly and I could clearly see her juices flowing out of her pussy again. I did not want this to end here, so the next moment I pressed my dick on her cunt and pushed it inside with a thrust. Now she was screaming badly in less pleasure and more pain. This is bcoz she hadn't had sex for a long time and she almost started crying, as I could clearly see tears flowing out of her eyes. Her face was turned red, but I did not stop and continued fucking her. Now my dick could go touch her ultimate depth on each thrust. Just in few moments, my excitement was on peak and I started Cumming in her tight cunt.
I dropped over her in order to enjoy the each gush of semen that I passed into this beautiful & Gorgeous Savitha. I locked my lips with her and kept sucking her madly until my excitement calmed down. I kissed her rosy lips and she kissed me back. We got up from the bed and she led me to bathroom to wash. (Well I did not mention above, before sex, I used condom to be on safer side for both of us). First I washed my dick and stayed back to watch her wash her juicy dripping pussy and came back to the room. She asked me if I need cool orange juice to drink to keep the tired away. I guessed she had prepared that before I came to her home. I nodded my head and she went to kitchen and brought 2 glasses of orange drinks. As soon as she came near me, I pulled her and made her sit on my lap while we drank. Her sexy ass pressing on my limp dick made it rise again to its full glory. She was enjoying the bulge of my dick against her ass cheeks.
While we were drinking, we kept kissing each other on lips, neck. I licked her ear lobes and she was turning hot again. I asked her to take a mouthful of drink and kissed her sipping drops through her lips. We kept this foreplay go on for some time. As both of us were excited again to the limit, so as soon as we finished the drink we started it again. This time, I wanted to try a new pose. I lay down on bed and made her stand on the bed with her legs wide open besides my legs. I asked her to sit slowly and carefully made her cunt rest on my dick. She embraced me with her legs resting on my hips and her arms around my neck with her lips locked with mine.
In the same pose I inserted my dick into her vagina, which was still very tight but wet, which helped her cunt to slide over my dick and her weight helped her depth to cover all of my dick's length. She felt a little pain again at this, and broke out the lip contact to give out a cry, but she was enjoying it now. My dick was fully inserted into her cunt, her small tits were rubbing with my chest and her lips were locked with mine. She started shaking her body up and down to make her cunt walls rub on my dick and her tits surf on my chest. It wasn't much difficult for me to hold her on as she was not much heavy in weight in the same pose. I fucked her in the same pose for some time and she was in her full heat and jumping like a mad on my dick. She was screaming in excitement. She screamed like this, which made me feel as if she is crying but she was not, her sexy moans were driving me crazy and I was enjoying her cunt walls rubbing on my dick. Soon, she had her third orgasm, and was shaking in my lap. She closed her eyes in pleasure. I hugged her tightly so as to feel the vibrations of her body. While she was enjoying her orgasm. I laid her on the bed and fucked her. Now, she was having a very good time, as she was smiling and laughing while looking into my eyes. I was kissing her lips and tits again and again while I continued my fucking. After sometime,
I felt reaching the climax. I asked her to get over me without taking out my dick from her enclosure. Now I was lying on bed and she was jumping on my dick again. Soon I reached the limit and my dick started rewarding her soft, tight cunt for the second time. She continued and did not stop even my dick calmed down. I asked her that my dick needs the magic of her tongue. She gave out a naughty smile and said "lets try 69", I said "wonderful, let's do it". Saying this, she turned her back to my face and let her ass pass over my face until my tongue was touching her cunt. She bent over my dick and took the whole into her mouth, she cleaned it madly with her tongue and sucked it hungrily. I was enjoying the feeling of her hot mouth and tongue motivating my dick for the next session. I was sucking her cunt madly as I wanted to extract each and every drop of her feminine taste. We continued it for sometime until my dick was standing fully in her mouth again and she was having difficulty to take it fully into her mouth. She got up and asked, if we could try in doggy style, I agreed and she got into doggy style, and I got off the bed. I was standing on the floor and she was in the doggie pose on the bed.
The elevation of dick was almost fitting against her cunt facing my dick hungrily. I gave a little kiss on her cunt lips. I grasped her beautiful ass cheeks with both of my hands, and let my dick find its way into her pussy. She was laughing like a baby and moaning with pleasure. I started the fuck motion and she started screaming in joy. She was screaming, "oh, u r so good, I was responding "oh, you r so wonderful, I love you badly. I want u forever. After some time, I pushed her further on the bed. I piled up two pillows and asked her to rest her body on the pillows so as to elevate her cunt from the bed. I laid my body over her back, crossed my legs with her, and entered her cunt from behind. Her little boobs were hanging over the pillow's edge, I hugged her from the back and kept fucking her. Now I got hold of her boobs and was pinching her nipples and pressing her small tits. I was biting her cheeks and licking her ears. She also tried to turn her neck and kiss me whenever she can. We continued this session in the same pose for a very long time, meanwhile she did hit her 4th orgasm and made her pillow wet, after some more time, I again reached the climax. Without wasting any time I asked her to change pose. And laid her on her back and with fast to & fro, I smashed my semen again in her beautiful cunt for the third time.
I held her tits in my hands and was pressing them badly while I was Cumming in her cunt. I was satisfied and very tired now. She dropped over me into a passionate kiss. We were hugging each other tightly and enjoying each and every moment. We both were very much satisfied now and tired too. We kept kissing each other until we both fell asleep. I woke up at 08:45 pm and it was dark in the room. I covered her with the bed sheet. And planted a small kiss on her fore head, cheeks and her rosy lips. I was sleeping beside her and was just thinking, has this really happened to me. About half an hour later Savitha woke up and hugged me with a smile. She got up from her bed and I asked if we could bath together. She readily agreed for that and we were in the shower bathing each other and soaping each other. I just wrapped in a towel and she had her nightie, underneath with out nothing. She asked if I like to drink anything. I asked her if she had Whisky at there home. (She had told me before that her husband drinks). She took me to her bedroom and opened her husband cupboard and asked me to choose any of those drinks and with my surprise, I saw around 10 bottles of different drinks. So I picked up a half emptied Antiquity whisky and asked her if she would like to drink. She said she is not into it and I took a glass from kitchen and served myself. Meanwhile she said she is going to prepare dinner and she went to kitchen.
I followed her and helped in cutting vegetables for sambar and here and there, when she was walking past me, I used to kiss on her cheeks or on her rosy lips. She was very good in cooking, we had dinner and we watched for some time TV and later on we went back to her bedroom to start our acts. We enjoyed the whole night and we did not know what time we slept. When I woke up it was already 10:00am in the morning. I looked beside, Savitha was not there, I got up and walked to the kitchen, she was there standing preparing our breakfast. I had to rush back to office, so there was nothing much in the morning, had shower and got dressed up, had breakfast with her and again hugged her and kissed her for the last time and thanked her. After that we had contact only in email or through cell. One day I received her mail and saw a bad news, written that she along with her husband are flying to USA for good. Since then there was no phone call, but received couple of times emails. So, this was the best ever experience of my life I had with Savitha and shared with you all. I hope you all enjoyed reading it.

The closing of democratic space for trade unions
Weakening of workers' rights in most regions is being aggravated by severe crackdowns on freedom of speech and assembly, according to the 2016 Global Rights Index. Restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly, including severe crackdowns in some countries, increased by 22%, with 50 out of 141 countries surveyed recording restrictions.
Agenda for transformation, solidarity, democracy
The year 2015 was marked on the one hand by the inability of the European Union (EU) to emerge from the crisis, and on the other by a dramatic rise in the number of people taking flight from their homes and from their homelands, because of wars and terrorist attacks, in many cases caused by the destructive policies of the EU and of its member states.
Global economy faces major headwinds in 2016
The world economy stumbled in 2015 and only a modest improvement is projected for 2016/17 as a number of cyclical and structural headwinds persist, says the United Nations World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) 2016 report. Global growth is estimated at a mere 2.4% in 2015.
The Latin American Left is losing ground
Within a few weeks leftwing governments in Latin America have experienced a breath-taking decline. The Latin American (centre-) left forces suffered several strategic defeats. They occurred in the biggest Latin American economies. First in Argentina, than in Venezuela, and also in Brazil the days of an uncontested majority of left forces are definitely over now.
The World Bank's new Gender Equality strategy
14 years after their previous strategy on gender mainstreaming, the WBG has decided to develop a new Gender Equality (GE) Strategy. This briefing document presents WIDE+ critical reflections and key recommendations to enhance the new World Bank Group's (WBG) strategy on Gender Equality.

Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is one of Hollywood's top performers selling out in most locations . With several awards and hit albums Mariah Carey has continued to wow her fans while building a family with her husband Nick Cannon. Enjoy Mariah's pictures.
Belting out a few numbers in honor of Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson performed at the 2014 BET Music Awards.
Dressed to the nines for the occasion, Jennifer sported a cool white top and leggings, while the sexy Mariah wore a stunning black cocktail dress, singing on top of a piano for the event.
Continuing to enjoy her fun-filled vacation in a tropical paradise, Mariah Carey took to her Instagram account and showed off her sexy beach bod on Monday (February 3).
In the pic, the "Hero" songstress flaunted her stunning figure in a gold bikini top with matching sarong and sandals.
Though she has a jam-packed schedule, Mariah Carey took a brief respite yesterday (January 20) to pay tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.
The "Always Be My Baby" singer posted a series of photos via Instagram to give thanks for her twins Moroccan and Monroe, whose lives are much different as a result of the late Civil Rights Movement leader's work.
Photographers lined the red carpet at the 2014 SAG Awards on Saturday (January 18), but the stars themselves were armed with their own cameras to capture some personal moments from the exciting evening.
Capturing a hectic moment with her styling team, Kelly Osbourne wrote, "Suffering from #swass sweaty a-- on the #eredcarpet #sagawards this is the hottest awards show I have ever been too!"
Adding to the already-star-studded scene, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon caused a stir as they sauntered up to the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles tonight (January 18).
The "American Idol" judge and her "America's Got Talent" host hubby didn't mind posing for a few photos outside the Shrine Exposition Center but eventually joined the rest of their beautiful peers inside.
Telling all how he keeps the romance alive, Nick Cannon got personal, discussing his marriage with pop singer, Mariah Carey.
The "America's Got Talent" judge discussed his recent vacation with his lovely wife, explaining how the celebrity sweethearts keep their love life alive and kicking.
They both started their careers very young, but now Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon reveal their twins might not follow the same career path.
In the February 2014 issue of Ebony magazine, the talented couple opened up about their love for one another and shared their thoughts about Moroccan and Monroe's future.
We absolutely love seeing our favorite stars and their kids at Christmas, and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's twins had a blast on holiday in Aspen.
The "America's Got Talent" host took to his Instagram account and posted a few shots of Moroccan and Monroe on Christmas Eve (December 24), much to the delight of his fans.
Thoroughly enjoying some family time, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon took their twins for an evening stroll in Aspen, CO on Monday night (December 23).
Bundled up in a bright red jacket and a black leather skirt, the "Hero" songstress and her honey held tight to Monroe and Moroccan's hands as they traversed the snowy sidewalks.
She loves to vacation in Aspen, Colorado each Christmas, and it was more of the same for Mariah Carey and her family this weekend.

AgulhasLoved L'Agulhas. Beautiful and colourful. Best pizza ever at the Seagull. - Mornay Schoeman
AgulhasL'Agulhas is an absolute fabulous little town, very close to our hearts, as we met there on a New year's eve 20 years ago! We will always go back for a visit to this special southern town. - Hennie Oosthuizen
AgulhasL' Agulhas is one of our favorite weekend break away spots. 2 hours from Cape Town means that you can leave Friday afternoon and enjoy dinner at one of the small restaurants in the area. The rocky coast is perfect for fishing and there are numerous attractions that one could visit from the famous lighthouse to the most southern point in Africa. Apart from the December and Easter holiday stampedes the little town is the perfect place to recharge the batteries. - grant noble

35% was the average score for the original sample. Unfortunately, I do not recall the standard deviation, which would paint a better picture. A part of the test verification that I am doing is to find out the stats for this test.
My estimate is that IRO 1 in 20 applicants in the original sample had 15+ years of C/C++.

Having teased it yesterday on their community site, Relic have today come out and formally announced that their Dawn of War sequel will feature the Tyranid as a playable race. And it's about damn time. Bringing the Tyranid into the series will be perhaps the sequels' most radical departure from the first game, seeing as they'll play so differently to the two-legged races. If you're new to Warhammer and need a reference point, know before you shoot your mouth off that when Blizzard decided to rip 40K off while designing Starcraft, they based the Zerg on the Tyranid. Above's the first screenshot, while after the jump, the latest trailer has been expanded to give the Tyranid a little pre-rendered love. Click to viewReply113 repliesLeave a reply

TechREACTION.net is at PAX East tonight for the Nvidia Launch Event where they will be officially announcing the new GTX 480 and GTX 470 series of graphics cards. Many of the details of these new GPU's have already leaked out, but tonight will we know what is true and what is false. Hopefully there will be a few surprises in store, but to find out you'll want to keep track of this live blog from 6:00PM EST and on as we give you live updates from the launch event!
Keep your eyes peeled on this page, be sure to digg and retweet, and we'll see you at PAX!
Nvidia Fermi Launch Event Updates:
6:08PM – Waiting for show to begin…fans going crazy with noise makers.
6:11PM – "Please take your seats, show will start in 1 minute"
6:13PM – Drew Henry (General Manager, GeForce GPU's) is coming on stage to begin the event…
6:14PM – Drew is telling everyone how awesome us gamers and Bostonians are.
6:15PM - Nvidia snuggies are confirmed for giveaway….lol
6:17Pm – Here comes the spin, discussing why Fermi was delayed. "We wanted to make something great for gamers".
6:19PM – Showing off Fermi. "The GeForce GTX480…is something you are really going to be delighted with."
6:20PM – " It's the most complicated GPU we have ever built." 3 Billion transistors.
6:21PM – "And we have the GeForce GTX470..it's little brother, also a great gaming GPU."
6:22PM – Performance Numbers: GTX480 compared to 285, "sometimes more than 2x performance, no less than 1.5x"
6:23PM – "2x performance in overall gaming is cool, but it's not just a GPU for gaming." "We've invested a lot in physics, to allow you to blow things up. " "Up to 2.5x the gpu physx processing performance of the last generation"
6:24PM – "Real-time interactive ray tracing…" Is this a Larrabee conference?
6:25PM – New Nvidia "Crank that S#it up!" t-shirts.
6:26PM – This next part is in 3D. Now he's talking about he feels the PC can lead the industry in 3D, with 3D VISION.
6:27PM – EA's Gordon Van Dyke here now, showing off BF:BC2 in 3D. Showing how they were able to incorporate 3D VISION into their latest hit.
6:28PM – Showing BC2 in Nvidia 3D Surround, that's three screens, full 3D. Looks VERY impressive actually.
6:29PM – Showing BC2 jungle fight scene with the militants when you hold out in the shack. Again, very impressive, but the full surround sound is certainly adding to the effect.
6:30PM – Basically 3D Vision Surroind is 3D Vision meets ATI's Eyefinity.
6:31PM – Going to show WoW in 3D Vision now. Allll of the nerds are going berzerk.
6:32PM – Little LOL as the frame rates totally suck as they are in flight mode in WoW in 3D Vision Surround. Not sure what that's about…but they say it's fresh support, just added, so perhaps it's still in "beta".
6:33PM – Jesse Addly (?) from EA. Does Tech Dev at EA for the PC platform. So, engine development. Going to talk about Need For Speed now, also in 3D Vision Surround.
6:34PM – Ooooh, going to show off real-time ray tracing, with cars in Need For Speed. It's in 2D, but it's showing you interactive Ray Tracing, in what looks like a few frames under 30fps. It's allowing you to customize a ray traced car in game.
6:36PM – This is a downloadable app with the entire NFS Garage inside, you can customize and collect your cars, add your creations to in-game NFS.
6:37PM – Apparently this app will ship with every GTX480 and GTX470, so a bundled app, but not a full game by any means. Interesting.
6:38PM - "Working with the guys in the game industry is really important for us." "Often times what we'll do is put together technology demonstrations to show what they can do with our technology in their game"
6:39PM – Next up "This is what we call Super Sonic Sled". This is a full game they are going to include with every GeForce card. This is the rocket sled demo everyone saw a few weeks ago. It's in full 3D Vision Surround. All the latest DX11 technology and lots of tesselation.
6:40PM – Showing off different parts of the game world they created. Showing off the rocket sled, Barney (the sled driver), the millions of pieces of the bridge that gets destroyed. Showing the details in wire frame as well, so the viewers have an idea of the complexity.
6:42PM – They are using the chicken gun that they have implemented in the game to blow off pieces of the rocket sled, which destroys the sled as he takes off.
6:45PM – Added a million particles to the bridge and blew it up to show the capability of the GPU's Physx processing.
6:47PM – Next up Metro 2033. Louis Giglioti (?) from THQ to discuss.
6:48PM – "Let's see the game…" Metro 2033 running in full 3D Vision Surround. Lot's of game background talk, the author, the story, blah blah..go read the review.
6:53PM – Ok, that demo is finally over. Just a game promo essentially.
6:53PM – "With this generation architecture, we have them in full production, full launch today, the reviews will be posted in about 10 mins. " And they will be in stores in about 14 days.
6:54PM – Something with green nailpolish on their 3d glasses just won a GTX 480. Now they are tossing out tosses. I just punched out some nerd to get one! "Sucks to be you nerd" j/k…or am I?
6:55PM - Show is clearing out, it appears it might already be over, even though it hasn't been officially stated yet.
6:56PM – It's over, good night.

"I don't know what it is to feel good." – Betsy (aged 52, USA)
"I don't want to be on all these drugs. They don't do anything for the disease, they just mask the symptoms." – Roger (aged 67, UK)

The Juice Master
Jason Vale, the Juice Master, believes that no other subject has been more over-complicated than diet, nutrition and disease and that it's time for people to take back their health.
"I challenge anyone suffering from being overweight or a lifestyle disease, to try it on for size." Jason Vale
At his Juicy Oasis retreat in Portugal, Jason will test his theory that chronic disease is caused by toxicity and nutritional deficiency, and that the best way to treat disease is simply with high quality nutrition.
Featuring Experts:
Dr Dwight Lundell, Dr Malcolm Kendrick, James Colquhoun, Jon Gabriel, Cherie Calbom, Charlotte Gerson and more…
"In spite of all the technology, all the medications, all the research and money we throw at these problems, we're not conquering chronic disease." – Dr. Dwight Lundell
"We're at a crisis point, and if something doesn't change all of these diseases are going to continue to escalate." – Cherie Calbom
"Drugs never fix anything, all they are are a band-aid." – Dr Leigh Erin Connealy
"I think when it comes to looking after your health, you have the power to do it." – James Colquhoun
"I think when we're really, really healthy life becomes about nourishing… so a healthy persons relationship with food is "where can I get nourishment?" – Jon Gabriel
"All chronic and degenerative diseases are caused by two and only two major problems, toxicity and deficiency." – Charlotte Gerson
"Lifestyle is the number one thing you should be trying to change… but give people a pill, give people an easy solution and I think you're instantly disempowered because it's so easy to do." – Dr Malcolm Kendrick

In the footsteps of Moses
Trip Start

Trip End
Jan 11, 2011
It's a truly awe-inspiring sunset from the top. The trip back is a bit on the scary side, as we have to make our way back in pitch darkness. I follow a guide who has a woman on each hand, allowing me to proceed extra cautiously when one of them slips despite his best efforts. We all make it down in one piece, but not without some scary moments.

I guess the media are just stumbling around looking for a word to replaced pissed.
;) That cartoon is too funny!
What the PC MSM is trying to do is portray the tea-party crowd, etc, as nothing but mindless, ill-informed ignoramous' who just want to tear down the temple in a blind rage and, if they only had it all " 'splained" to them properly would see the error of their ways. That they "know not what they do." Typical elitist feelings/expressions of intellectual/moral superiority and barely concealed contempt.GBN1, the rat terrier, and I were all in bed together last weekend. GBN1 said, "Make Ranger stop that noise (licking sounds)! It is frustrating me!" I thought it was interesting that she used "frustrating," but figured she could not come up with a better word. And yet, I understood. That licking sound was obnoxious and extremely irritating – kind of like Kennedy's in Massachusetts and other Dems sounding off.
ReplyDeleteI am at various times lately outraged, pissed, angry, disgusted, seething (haha) .... and a few times in the past week hopeful and energized.
But "frustrated"? NO
I will only get frustrated when we no longer have the means or the will to fight what these people are doing to our country. And we're not there yet and I hope we never will be.

We're not kidding. People pay for that. Seriously. When it comes to his collaboration with EDO, the LP710 Audigier will be limited to only five copies each tweaked in the same style at the pleasure of the buyer.
