Let me offer some advise, tips and explanations for the taxi passengers.
Now not all of these advise/explanations may sound reasonable, especially if 1 adopts the attitude - Look, the passengers are paying for a service, they deserve to accorded a superior service (where possible) and have every right to demand or have high expectations, - in short - The Customer Is Always Right Policy.Which on paper, no one can argue, but sometimes the situation on the ground or reality is different, and the passenger has to accede some (to the driver) or forgo some expectations.The primary duty of the driver is to send the passenger in the shortest/cheapest route to his/her destination, unless otherwise directed. That is the service the customer is paying for, this is the basic requirement, which also includes safety and in relative comfort.So in order to fulfill/ensure this, here are some things a passenger can do, must understand, expect and sometimes accept.a) There is almost always no such thing as the Cheapest. Shortest and Fastest route. (There might be some instances but I think it's only like 5% of the time). Here we are assuming normal traffic, not rush hour or when congested.Fastest normally means taking an expressway, with no traffic lights to worry. And expressways are usually constructed to go around (not into) estates, meaning a loop. So that means going longer distances, as such you will usually pay more, but arrive faster.Shortest and invariably, cheapest, means you go through normal roads directly to your destination, but you will of course be subject to traffic lights. But if the traffic lights change normally (no congestion at intersections) or if you get a 'green flow' of lights, your fare will almost always be cheaper than going the expressway route . Eg if from Yishun you wanna go to Bishan J8, via the CTE exit AMK Ave 1, you will arrive faster than if you went via Lentor, AMK Ave 6 and 8.So make up your mind, which you prefer and instruct the driver, and this leads to.....b) Inform the driver of your destination and instruct him on the route your prefer. Do not assume he will know the route you had intended, unless it's very obvious, say from Clark Quay to Spize River Valley.Signal your intentions early, don't wait until the last moment or after he's passed the exit or turn off point you wanted. If you go to and from work in a particular way it's better to advise, something I try to ask pax obviously going or coming from work. They are so used to particular route, whether long or short, any deviation can cause anxiety especially if one is running late for work.Give directions where possible, and if the driver asks for it, please give it instead of being frustrated. Some drivers are new, but some like myself, also don't know the way around certain estates, or only know 1 or maximum 2 ways, which might not be the one you want or it might be much longer.I know there are some drivers who simply cannot accept being told how or what to do, and they take offence, which is silly and wrong. Unless it's very obvious, then this becomes irritating being reminded where to turn when I already notified you I know the route. But this is a small matter for drivers, but can quite important for passengers. Besides I mean why should you pay more for something you always pay at a certain price day in, day out? I know, I won't be happy about it.I concede there are definitely some, who will 'act blur' purposely take a longer route in order to gain a few extra dollars. So you should nip this in the bud and give directions. If the driver insists on going his own way ignoring yours or starts to drive erratically, do not get into further arguments, as he's holding the wheel and angry road users inevitably get involved in accidents sooner or later. Instead take a video of this and inform Lee Fong and she'll advise on the steps you need to take. If at any point you feel in danger, call the police, giving your location or intended destination. I'm sure the 999 operator will be able to advise you accordingly.If the driver just goes the long way or ignores your route, then can still report. Again Lee Fong will advise. However if the driver advises your route might not be such a good idea, say a congestion is ahead / along the way, or he has a better (cheaper or faster) route, it might not be a bad idea to accept his advise.c) Do not wait too long for a taxi, when there are none available. I think 20-25 mins should be the absolute maximum. Or if after 15-20 mins, still no cab, try booking for one. I mean it's $3.30, which is better, spend that $3.30 or keep waiting for 30 mins or more?If after calling or IPhone booking, you still can't get through. No point in continuing to wait, call and get more frustrated. Take a bus or train to a location where more taxis are available, or take the bus/train home altogether. Or if you need to take a cab, then wait until the demand subsides.Waiting at the end of 1 way streets, or the last few taxi-stands in a 1 way street, is not a good idea during the peak of demand, as you'll be served last, if at all.Unfortunately there is also a CBD surcharge ($3) from 5pm to midnight, meaning that the areas just preceding the zone, might be very hard to procure a cab. If you are waiting at Arab Street, Raffles Hospital, Scotts Road, Keppel Road, Cantoment Road, Outram MRT etc, these are not good locations for catching a cab. Why? Because if the driver drives 500m - 800m more, he will be in the zone and be able to collect that extra $3.This is wrong you protest, and I accept that, but practically isn't this the obvious thing to do? Isn't it human nature? Another 500m, not even 10 secs, you earn $3, wouldn't you do it if you were in his shoes? You might say you won't but if you drove a cab, and realised that things like rent and diesel have gone up and you need to earn a certain figure to keep your family going, you'd be forced to drive that extra 500m for the $3.So don't wait just outside the zone for a lengthy period, if there are no cabs available. Walk that 500m, and pay the $3 for saving your time and avoiding getting angry and frustrated.
Thank you for sharing these pointers!

Mossad Director Reveals Extent of Israeli Spying Agency's Overseas Operations
The head of Israel's intelligence service, Mossad, has acknowledged the agency carries out "hundreds of thousands" of operations against "enemy countries" every year – the organization's history of operations targeted against close allies went unmentioned.
Speaking at an October 2 ceremony honoring Mossad operatives, the agency's director, Yossi Cohen, spoke of the "hundreds of thousands of operations" Mossad carried out annually in "enemy countries," some of which were "complicated and daring."
In particular, Cohen hailed his agency's work against the "renewed threat" of Iran, particularly its military presence in Syria — and its ongoing focus on Hamas and Hezbollah.
"Mossad is strengthening its interior structure, along with new capabilities in order to face future challenges, and advanced technology in the intelligence systems, and building human forces and resources. We are working on all of this in order to be prepared for the challenges we might face to our capabilities to secretly carry out operations for many years ahead," Cohen said.

Harper Entrenches Trudeau's Legacy
When he was a younger man, Fidel Castro was known for his work ethic. He read everything, talked to everyone, and laboured endlessly. Sometimes he would work for days without sleeping. He was inexhaustible.
But it made no difference. Not even Castro could keep his radically centralized government from developing sclerosis. The Cuban government, like all Communist governments, became a massive and bloated creature, barely able to stand up, let alone get anything done.
Now, before I continue, I want to say for the benefit of the easily offended that I am not comparing Stephen Harper to Fidel Castro in any moral or substantive sense. My concern is the centralization of power and its consequences.
"Canada is very much at the leading edge of the centralization of power," notes University of Moncton political scientist Donald Savoie. Real power – the ability to get things done – is heavily concentrated in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and its bureaucratic assistant, the Privy Council Office (PCO). It's been leached out of everything else. Ministries and departments. The governing party's caucus. Even the cabinet.
The prime minister calls the shots. Everyone else takes orders.
That much has been well-recognized at least since 1999, when Savoie published Governing from the Centre. It caused a sensation in the political class and democratic reform became a rallying cry for dissident Liberals clustered around Paul Martin and conservatives sick of the imperial rule of Jean Chrétien.
But a critical aspect of Savoie's argument – that centralization causes sclerosis – got much less attention than his complaints about excessive power in the PMO. It's worth revisiting that today because power is even more centralized in Stephen Harper's PMO than it was in Jean Chrétien's.
Over the years, as the power concentrated in the PMO and PCO grew, the number of people employed in those offices grew along with it. It had to. With growing power came growing responsibility. Take the budget. Previously, it was mostly drafted in the ministry of finance. Now it's mostly the work of "the centre." That takes lots of bodies.
But there can only be one prime minister. And since the prime minister's word is the ultimate source of power – the driving force that gets things done – centralization inevitably creates a bottleneck.
By all accounts, Stephen Harper works very hard. But that doesn't matter. The demands on a prime minister's time are mammoth. He could work with speed and efficiency around the clock, every day, all week, forever, and he would still be a bottleneck.
This has two consequences, Savoie says.
One, a prime minister who wants to get things done must focus. "Any prime minister who says he has more than three priorities he's going to pursue is going to fail." Jean Chrétien knew that. Paul Martin didn't. Savoie thinks Harper has learned this lesson well.
But the government is huge. Its responsibilities are vast. There are hundreds of concerns that must be addressed at any one time. If only a few can be the prime minister's priorities, how does a hyper-centralized government handle all the rest?
Badly, says Savoie. "Everything else is put through a process of committees, of interdepartmental meetings, and if it's not driven by the prime minister it has no life. It just goes on and on and on." As one public servant told Savoie, his job was to "keep turning a crank that is not attached to anything."
This is the legacy of Pierre Trudeau.
Prior to the Trudeau era, the PMO and PCO were small. That was deliberate. Gordon Robertson, the legendary clerk of the Privy Council, warned that growth at the centre would make it difficult for ministries, under the leadership of powerful deputy ministers, to develop and implement innovative policies.
Trudeau thought he knew better. "Trudeau was not a student of politics and government. He never understood Parliament, truly," Savoie says.
Trudeau took authority away from the deputy ministers and brought it into the centre. In theory, this meant cabinet's power would grow. In practice, "it bypassed cabinet and went straight into the prime minister's office."
Every opposition leader since then has complained that power is too centralized. Every prime minister since then has centralized it even further.
Savoie's passionate condemnation of centralization didn't slow it down. In an odd way, it may even have contributed to it.
"An adviser to a prime minister asked me if I'd sign a copy of Governing from the Centre," Savoie says. "I leafed through it and I noticed that he had read it, he had underlined a few things. And I said, 'Now you're going to do things differently?' He said, 'No, no, no. We use it as a manual.' "
Savoie wouldn't tell me who the adviser was but he confirmed that the prime minister he worked for is Conservative. "And you can now assume which one I'm talking about," he added with a laugh.
As of Friday, that prime minister will have served longer in office than John Diefenbaker.
We don't know what Stephen Harper's legacy will be, of course. But making the government more dysfunctional by extending and entrenching the legacy of Pierre Trudeau will be part of it.

TPR2 chap 14 – Unfair fights ;)
Morningggggggggggggggg, Sunday sundae is here again…..this week Annie's easter treat…our dynamic due are hell bent on telling each other what to do ;)) But seethi ungli se ghee na nikle tou tedi kaarna aata hai dono ko ;)) But as usual things that are out of their control get in the way of their reasoning ;)) I hope you enjoy, do read slowly, and digest. Forgive the errors and enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy the dark Easter chocolate!
Chapter 14- Unfair Fights 🙂
"I am not going to let you out until you listen to me," he said leaning casually against the door in no apparent hurry.
"let me out now!" She pushed ineffectually against the door.
He thought about it for a moment and grinned. "Geet I know you..you wont listen, you will get distracted."
"By what?" Seething, she pushed at the door again.
"Me!" he said assuredly. "Because I know you want me, I saw it in your eyes."
Glaring at the closed door, she blushed bright red, how did he know she had been fighting herself when she had seen him come out of the shower all bare and dripping. Just visualising him made her moan in anticipation.
"I don't want you at all! Maan Singh Khurana! You think too much of your self?" She said with much courage as she could muster.
"Really?" His tone was sultry and so seductive.
"Yes REALLY! Infact I wouldn't want you if you were the last man on earth at this moment! And anyway its you who has no self control! Every time you come near me we end up in bed."
His eyes narrowed at that, he had self control. A lot of self control, he recalled that night in the cave.
But did he? Just seeing her damp hair, smelling fresh from her fragrant body wash made him forget everything else. But tonight he had to make her listen.
"Lets just see how much self control you have." she muttered through the door. Mapping out all sorts of possibilities in her mind to break his self control.
"Githhhhhhh this is not about me! Its about you and your stubborn stance. Saxena is a slimeball! Cant you see that?" Forgetting he was supposed to be holding the door closed he paced about in frustration.
She knew that! She glared at him through the door. Of-course she knew that and now with that strange call from him tonight she knew that Saxena would have something not so pleasant up his sleeve for her. Pacing the bathroom she thought about it, just dumping Saxena's job. But she was under contract to finish the refurbishment, there was a huge penalty if she didn't finish. She knew Maan's option would be for her to pull out and pay the penalty. But she didn't want him to pay for her mistake. She had chosen to work with Saxena, she had to see it through. She would have a go at re-reading the contract to see if there was a loophole. But first she had to get him to let her out of here.
"Maan let me out of here now!"
"Not until you agree to drop the Saxena job!"
Glaring at the door she muttered a few choice curses. She knew he was concerned for her safety, and she knew that Saxena and Dan were not very nice people, but she could handle herself! And she didn't need Maan to strong arm her, or decide everything for her. Just because she was married to the 'Maan Singh Khurana' didn't mean she would let him pay and get her out of trouble, she could sort it out herself. Her eyes narrowed, she muttered to herself as she paced. Suddenly a grin spread over her face she knew exactly what would get him to open the door.
Grabbing a few of the soap dishes she lay down on the floor stripping off her outer robe and arranged her lacy nighty so it showed her figure to perfection. Then she threw the items making them crash loudly at the same time taking a deep breath, she let out a blood curdling scream.
Behind the door Maan stopped pacing, his heart just stopping as he heard her. Had she crashed into something? Slipped and hurt herself? He should have never tried to keep her locked up, she was a danger to herself!
"Geet! Geet!" flinging open the door, he saw she was lying on the floor, eyes closed.
"Geet!" leaning down he ran his hands over her looking for signs of injury. "Mishty! Speak to me! What happened?" she looked so fragile, so beautiful.
Fluttering her eyes open she stared at him helplessly, "Maan……"
"Are you hurt?" His face was a picture of worry.
"I….." avoiding eyes contact she hid her face in his chest. She hated lying to him, but he had been just so stubborn.
Gathering her up against him he gently carried her out and laid her on the bed. "Tell me where did you hurt yourself? You're so accident prone! I cant leave you alone one minute!" He sank down next to her his hands gentle as they ran over her.
"Shall I call a doctor? Mishty?" He looked so in pain at the thought of her feeling any pain.
Her eyes misted up, God she loved him! "Maan..I'm sorry I haven't hurt myself." She couldn't carry on with her lie, letting him believed she had hurt herself, she loved him too much for that.
"But you screamed!" Puzzled he stared at her.
"I just wanted you to open the door."
His face clouded over with anger, and he was just about to jump off the bed in disgust at her actions, when she vaulted up and straddled him, pinning his arms above his head. She knew he could instantly release himself at one push but she wanted to make sure she had his attention.
"This is ridiculous! Geet, let go of me!" Scowling fiercely he flexed his biceps showing her he could easily throw her off.
"No! Not until you hear me out!" Adamantly she pushed down on him ignoring all the signals her heated body were sending her.
He stared at up her, eyes blazing that he had been duped so easily. She smelled so delicious he felt his body stirring, and the fact that her lush cleavage was being shown off to perfection encased in peach lace and resting on his bare chest did little to stop his body going into overdrive. He tried clamping down on himself, muttering times tables and praying for self control. She was not going to get out of this so easily by distracting him with her sheer sensual beauty. Even when wasn't trying at all hard.
"I know you are worried about me. But Maan I can handle myself, I have met men like Saxena and Dan before. I need to handle it myself, I cant let you pull me out of every small problem I come across. And I don't need security we are going to see Mrs Chaadha to see who is sending us these pictures, she will help us catch him."
"Are you insane? You think I would go to a …a…" he couldn't even think of anything suitable to say about Mrs Chaddha he was that furious.
"Geet you are not going anywhere near that mad woman! That's precisely why you need security to keep you out of trouble." she gave him such a fierce scowl.
" Stop scowling, and why wouldn't I worry about you, and isn't it my right to get you out of trouble? Remember we are married now, you are no longer single and have to face everything on your own." he recalled all the stubborn mule headed situations she had got herself into thinking she had to sort it all out alone.
A moan of want nearly escaped her….didn't she just know too well that she was married. Her eyes strayed over his bulging biceps, the glistening skin of his bare torso that was just crying out for her lips to run over it.
"But Maan I have to do my job, I have entered into a contract, I cant just pull out like that' she saw him purse his lips and glare at her, "but…..If I agree to look at the contract again will you stop worrying?"
Why would he stop worrying? He didn't want her to have to compromise, he wanted her to stop working for Saxena totally and to add to it she want even agreeing for security, someone was taking pictures of her, meaning they were so close, he didn't have a clue why as yet.
"If you pull out of working for him and agree to security, yes then I will stop worrying." his face was set in a closed no compromise stance.
Her face clouded over. "Maan…its not that easy, what will other clients think, that Geet married Maan Singh Khurana and now she just abandons her clients when she feels like it? I will have no integrity left in the business world!" Her eyes pleaded with him to understand.
"You don't need to work!" Frustration that she wasn't listening poured out of him, he just wanted her to be safe didn't she see that? He knew he had said the wrong thing as soon as he saw her face cloud over. He hadn't meant it like that at all.
An inarticulate sound escaped her, a puzzled frown touched her face. Not work? He wanted her to be a happy rich mans biwi at home? That was not gong to happen. She loved him more than life itself but she had to maintain her integrity and independence, no way did she wanted to be seen a leeching of his millions. Letting go of her hold she tried to scramble off him.
With a muttered groan of frustration he had her on her back in a second, pinning her to the bed with his weight and bearing down on her.
"Why are you so stubborn?" His eyes clouded with pain and admiration at the same time. It was this he loved about her most.
"That's not fair! Maan, you are not playing fair! What do you mean not work! You married me…"
He clamped a hand over her mouth as she mumbled her outrage, "Chup bilkul chup!"
"Now! I have you exactly where I want you! You are going to listen to every word I have to say without argument!"
Her eyes blazed annoyance and frustration up at him. He stared down at her his breathing not quite steady. Her hair was damp, strewn here and there with water droplets that looked as if pearls had been woven haphazardly into it. She smelt heavenly, and her freshly scrubbed skin was tinged with pink of her excited state and now as he saw the colour creep up her throat he felt and smelt the heady scent of her arousal, instantly his body responded to her call. Her eyes were clouded over with passion, what she had been fighting took over her in a flash. His heat, his spicy scent washed over her.
"Maan..".she mumbled under his hand.
He felt her heat as her lush curves melted under his she wriggled her soft limbs in a way that made his temperature rocket. He was fast loosing his ability to reason and think.
"Mishty…" his voice came out a hoarse whisper..NO he had to make her listen. Fast losing the will to do anything but kiss her silly he stared down at her his mind and body fighting each other. Her hands started to touch his shoulders, creeping up to wind themselves in the hair at the back of her nape.
Suddenly he vaulted off her and started pacing.
Bereft of his hard warmth immediately she felt chilled. Raising herself on her elbows an articulate sound escaped her. Maan? Didnt he want her?
He took a deep breath to steady himself. "Geet, Dan Emmerson has allied himself with Saxena. So now there are two sleaze balls who you will be working with. I am just worried that they will put you in a position where you professional integrity is compromised. I hear what you are saying about your clients getting a bad impression of you but the US authorities are after Dan for using bad raw materials, Geet people were killed!"
She was only half listening, her mind was on other things. Her eyes travelled over his hard washboard stomach, the way his skin glistened like teak as he paced and the light caught it. "As I said before you don't need to worry. I can handle anything that Saxena or Dan throws at me." Just to appease him and make him come back to bed she volunteered. "And anyway I was going to look at the contract again to see if I can find a way to get out of it."
His eyes narrowed on her beautiful tousled state. "You were?"
"Haan…." she raised her arms to call him down to her and he could no longer resist. Sinking down he gathered her up against him his lips tracing the contours of her face so lovingly, moving down to her collarbone trailing heated kisses across her curves.
"I am so glad you see sense now. Mishty we will read it together and I am going to make sure you get released from that contract." he mumbled as he carried on with his sensual assault.
"Huh-uh!" She mumbled against his shoulder, her lips tracing the hard muscle. Her brain was telling her to make it clear to him that she wouldn't let him pay to get her released from the contract but her traitorous body was ready to do anything he said right now.
With a groan he took her mouth in a deep sweet kiss, making her arch against him in a frenzy of need.
"I love you Maan…." her soft words turned into moans. With haste they slipped off their clothes
"And Mishty," he rasped."..Don't ever try and dupe me again." he said nipping her chin playfully, whilst his busy fingers aroused her to a state of frenzy.
"But it was your fault, you locked me in the bathroom!" she moaned as he positioned and slipped deep into her welcoming heated warmth.
"Because you are so stubborn!" He moved so excruciatingly slow, torturing her with pleasure.
"You want everything your way!" She moved her hips in a fashion that had him hissing out a breath of sheer excitement.
"Chup, bilkul chup! I cant even think anymore!" His body had broken out in a fine sheen of sweat, his control was slipping fast and she knew it, her actions were designed to drive him over the edge. Her eyes told him that so clearly. She was the most stubborn infuriatingly beautiful woman and she was all his.
She gave him a smile of complete knowing. There were fire and storm together, neither giving an inch as they tumbled together in a passionate merging that bordered on frantic.
A long time later as they lay fast asleep in each others embrace, across town Saxena grinned to himself, he had Geet over a barrel now. She would do exactly what he wanted unless she was happy to have her siblings thrown out of such a good school.
"CC tell me exactly what happened and why did Chotu hit you?"
"Dad!" CC grumbled, " Don't remind me off that again, tomorrow I am going to teach him a lesson."
"No son," he ruffled CC's hair, "you don't do anything I am going to do all that needs to be done!"
But CC had plans of his own to make Babli and Chotu's life a misery, he just smiled and nodded at his dad. He knew his dad never told him off anyway.

Don't Cry For Me, Belgium
Upon arrival, Dan met me at the airport with a huge bouquet of flowers (Can you say, "guilty conscience"?) and we went straight to Miguel's Cocina, the Mexican restaurant down the road from us. I'm convinced that Dan and I played a huge part in financing last year's renovation and I think they should name a banquet room, or, at the very least, a table, after us. Nacho, the bartender, greeted us with a great big hello, followed by a pitcher of 'ritas. The pollo asada never tasted better. Oh, the comforts of home!
It's weird being back in a place where everyone speaks English. I caught myself, saying, "si vous plait," to the waitress, who looked thoroughly confused. I guess French is not commonly heard in Mexican restaurants in SoCal. It's a little strange coming back to your own home and having to remember where the light switches are, but, otherwise, the adjustment has been seamless.
I have to admit, it's hard to be bitter about being deported when you come home to a city nicknamed "America's Finest." The weather today is a beautiful 68 degrees, with no sign of rain in the forecast.

Of all the travel conversations I heard this year, the Azores came up the most. People are buzzing on this archipelago — an autonomous part of Portugal. If I didn't know better, I'd think that the tourism department's official slogan was "The Next Iceland" due to how often the phrase is thrown around.

I presented my dick in place and pushed. It slid into her asshole easily. I produced a gradual force and draw motion. I guided her fingers to her pussy and made her recognize that I needed her to wipe her clit while I fuck her ass. Shortly she was focusing on her clit scrubbing it in a circular motion. From her liquid actions, I possibly could tell she will need to Absolutely Free Sex Cams have masturbated regularly. Her asshole tightened clutching my tool as she was cumming. I was finding left too. She reached for my give and put it on her pussy. I continued scrubbing her pussy while she from time to time modified my hand putting it at her preferred spot. Then her moment got, she created me insert two fingers in to her pussy. I really could sense her pussy pulsated. My cock rush it's content. My mind went empty, all senses were focused at my cock. Once the happy feelings of ejaculation was over, my tool softened and believed numb. I withdrew from her and wiped my cock. As I clothed I shared with her I would go to purchase the packed food.

The thrill Adult Cam Chat Online of fucking her wasn't there anymore. My somewhat numbed penis slid in and out creating her pussy very wet. She moaned each time my tool slid in.

Content vs Design: Where to Start
Connecting with your audience requires eye-catching design and share-worthy content. How can you connect and engage?
Content Marketing:
Your content is the words and images you use every day to tell your organizations story. Whether you are showcasing your products, talking about your services, or simply sharing valuable resources, content creation and design are what people see first when they look at your organization. This means that what you put out there has a direct impact on how people perceive your business and brand.
Choosing your words carefully and strategically help build your organizations brand image. If you use slang in your writing it has a different appeal than if written with proper language rules, so it is important to know your audience. If you're running for mayor it may not be appropriate to use slang words as it may be taken the wrong way with older generations. However, if you're trying to appeal to younger generations perhaps using slang words can be to your benefit. It all depends on your audience.
Digital Design:
While choosing words for your content is important, the graphic design brings those words to life. Visual content like fonts, colours, images, and graphics give more meaning to the words itself and can invoke more emotion into your content. It is important to get the wording and content finalized before this stage as you need to reflect the key message in the design process, and that is hard to do if you haven't figured out what you want to say.
If all of this seems like a daunting task or if you are confused on where to start you might need to take a step back and focus on your strategy. We can help you by helping you come up with a marketing strategy and asking the right questions for your business to succeed.
We can help you…
- Craft meaningful key messages and brand messaging
- Write effective website content
- Write brochures, reports, posters, and advertisements
- Design brochures, reports, posters, advertisements, banners, and fliers
- Create engaging social media posts and e-newsletters
- Write news releases, articles, and blog posts
Need Design Help?

Gorgeous little ginger Elle Alexandra is still glowing from the afternoon she spent with her girlfriend Maddy O'Reilly. After snacking on some sweet fruit and playing over the events of her lesbian tryst, she feels her passion and her need for release rising within her. Maddy is napping in the bed, so she decides to have a little solo girl time on her own.
Walking back inside and grabbing her favorite toy, Elle hops up on the kitchen counter and immediately gets to work on her tight shaved pussy with her glass dildo. Kneeling on the kitchen counter, she slips the toy between her wet and waiting lips, she bites back a moan, trying not to wake Maddy. The ridges of her naughty play thing send ripples of golden pleasure through the little redhead, her pale skin flushing as her blood begins to flow and she nears orgasmic release.
Sitting on the cool marble counter, Elle begins to rub her clit as she slides the dildo out, her achingly tight teen pussy gripping it hard. She imagines that it's Maddy's fingers thrusting in and out of her and wishes that it were her tongue pressing between her shaved pussy lips. Moans escape her lips as she begins to cum, unable to control herself any longer, but no matter, if her girlfriend wakes up, that'll just mean another orgasm or ten for the little lesbian teens.

Antonio Cromartie should not be returning kicks Dan Leberfeld
Cortland – With Joe McKnight out today with what seems to be a concussion, Antonio Cromartie returned some kicks.
This should not be going on.
With Darrelle Revis gone, Antonio Cromartie is now the #1 cornerback, and they should not risk the player having him return kicks.
It's much easier to find kick returners than #1 corners.
Perhaps John Idzik should pull the plug on this.
It's not like the Jets don't have other kick returners in camp.
Mike Edwards and Mossis Madu return kicks, to name of a couple of options.

Luxury has a unique look, inspired by Colorado's natural beauty and love of all things hoppy, in one of downtown Denver's highest-rated spas.
The Ritz-Carlton Denver, located on Curtis Street in Denver, offers a fun treatment in its spa: a full-body experience that incorporates local beer. Add this to your only-in-Denver list.
Colorado has more than 230 craft breweries — one of the highest in the nation, according to the Brewers Association. So for a truly unique Colorado spa experience, try the Microbrew Ex'beer'ience and microbrew massage.
Pampering begins in the waiting lounge with an ice cold Nomad, a bohemian pilsner from Denver's Great Divide Brewing Co., located less than half a mile from the centrally located Ritz-Carlton.
Once the glass is empty, the 75-minute treatment begins with a full body exfoliation featuring a hops scrub. A warm Vichy shower, intended to simulate the sounds and feel of a tranquil waterfall, washes off the scrub before a conditioning beer mask made from Great Divide's Yeti imperial stout is painted on the body with a small brush.
The indigenous service wraps up with a hair and scalp massage, also incorporating the local beer, before a full Yeti beer is served back in the lounge, where the moisturizers soak into the skin and hair. If the treatment didn't provide enough relaxation, the 9.5-percent stout is sure to take the edge off. Afternoon and evening treatments are recommended since the $200-plus treatment will leave you smelling a bit like a homemade brew.
Beyond the novelty factor and local pride, there are health benefits to incorporating beer with your body treatment. According to the Ritz-Carlton spa, beer extracts like active yeasts can be great for the skin. The B vitamins and saccharides are hydrating, which you'll be grateful for in Colorado's dry air (and isn't it ironic that beer hydrates the skin from the outside but dehydrates your body when you put it inside?).
More Unusual Colorado-Inspired Treatment
If you're not quite Colorado enough for stout-soaked hair and hops-scented scrub, try one of these other pampering services, some also featuring local ingredients:
Herbal Peaks Poultice: Thie 80-minute treatment is inspired by Colorado's mountain peaks. You will receive Thai and aromatherapy massage to stretch out muscles, smooth out tension and improve circulation, all while enjoying the comfort of a heated, steamed herbal compress.
The compress contents are selected to also reduce stress and detoxify your body. Hot poultices relieve soreness and inflammation and aromatherapy relaxes the mind allowing for increased circulation and balance.
Colorado River Stone Massage: This 50- or 80-minute massage incorporates warm river stones placed on your body in strategic ways, while you receive a full body massage. Choose deep or moderate pressure, depending on what you need.
More About the Ritz-Carlton Denver
Even if you don't drink beer (or want it rubbed all over your body), the Ritz-Carlton is one of Denver's most luxurious places to stay, with rainforest shower heads and soaking tubs in the rooms and 400-thread-count Frette linens on the beds.
Like its spa treatments, the hotel itself is strongly influenced by the state of Colorado.
Rooms have sweeping views of the Front Range mountains. The tan, brown and blue rooms pull from colors you would see out in nature. Even the on-site restaurant is called Elways steakhouse — yes, named after the legendary Denver Broncos quarterback.
Tip: Request a room on the club level and pay the upgrade to get club access. The Ritz-Carlton Club offers five different food presentations every day, plus cocktails, wine, coffee, juices and other drinks. You can pop up to club level any time you want and grab small bites to eat or a cocktail and enjoy it in a quiet lounge with some of the best views in Denver. You can chat with colleagues or friends in a semi-private room or stretch out with your Americano on the comfy couch and watch TV. Read a book in the corner while you enjoy cookies from the cookie bar.
The food is constantly rotating here and as fine as you would expect from a Ritz-Carlton. Offerings may include charcuterie, tuna tartar, steak tacos, fresh pastries, truffles, cheese potatoes, orange chicken, golden-brushed chocolates, hard-boiled eggs — the list goes on.
Have a specific dietary need? The staff at the club level is quick to accommodate your wishes. Don't want cheese in the daily omelet? Just ask and the chef will have your eggs prepared as you want them at the time you plan on eating. This is the way to experience the Ritz. Plus, it can actually save you money and time; rather than going out for drinks and meals, this is your home base and has everything you need.
Spa and Fitness Center Renovations
The Ritz-Carlton Denver renovated its fitness center and spa in 2016, both of which highlight the luxury hotel's attention to detail.
On display behind a glass wall at the spa entrance is the impressive 2,229-square-foot fitness center, complete with top-of-the-line cardio machines, weight training equipment and complimentary headphones for guests.
Stark white marble dominates the renovated salon that features ultra-modern light fixtures, large windows and sleek furniture, including two oversized pedicure chairs that can only be described as thrones.
The spa underwent the fewest changes, with updated lounge areas and locker rooms that maintain dark, warm tones conducive to a calm, relaxing space where Colorado-centric treatments will leave you feeling like a native.

Daniel Adams
Pop \ Electronica \ Rock
Daniel Adams is a songwriter and producer from St. John's, NL. He specializes in genres such as pop, rock, dance, and folk. Originally a mashup producer on YouTube, he attracted attention from many noted musicians. Working with multiple artists, he finds ways to improve and develop their sound without tarnishing their original vision. He is currently in the studio working with artists Rachel Cousins and Kellie Loder.
Adams gained an understanding of various pop music trends and DJ sensibilities while growing up surrounded by 90s dance music and 80s rock. He quickly gained an ear for pop music while performing Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys "concerts" for his family. This passion even led Adams to create his own compilation CDs in the vein of the Canadian MuchDance collections.
At thirteen, he began publishing his mashups on YouTube under the name SmadaLeinad. With this venture, he gained the respect of musicians such as Savan Kotecha, The Ting Tings, and Adam Lambert. At the same time, he would write and sequence his own compositions on a children's keyboard, eventually moving on to producing on his computer and publishing the results online. While attending the College of the North Atlantic's music program, he met Kellie Loder, and the two went on to become a successful songwriting duo.
Musically, Daniel follows in the footsteps of industry legends such as Max Martin and Paul Epworth. He is skilled at infusing pop music sensibilities into any genre of music, all while working within an artist's desired comfort space. He sympathises with what people want and brings his own ideas to the table for them to explore.

All Acting Classes
NYC Acting Classes Overview
At Penny Templeton Studio, we provide acting classes for the advanced, professional working actor as well as the beginning actor who's just starting out. We are always looking for devoted actors who want to take their craft to new levels.
Our approach is to fully commit ourselves to our actors, we give them everything we have and in return we expect the same. The result: actors with the approach, skills and tools needed to truly be an acting lion.
At Penny Templeton Studio we don't "teach" acting classes, we hold acting classes in which we teach individual actors. The idea being, that while there are universal concepts to the acting technique, each actor is a unique individual who needs nurturing and personal attention.
Acting has drastically evolved from the days of Stanislavsky and the Group Theater, when techniques were geared for the actor who would rehearse for 5 or 6 months, or more. Gradually the business began speeding up as TV and film work increased and theatre rehearsals went from 8 weeks to 6 weeks to the current 4 weeks.
What didn't evolve was the way the techniques (the craft) were presented and used by the actor. It wasn't working for actors the way the masters had intended.
Acting technique needs to be a living breathing process that grows to meet the ever-changing demands placed on actors today.
One of the great misconceptions is that the "Craft" is only for theatre, when in fact today, actors go from theatre to film to television, and the craft must go with them. Today's actor is under constant pressure to deliver the goods faster and faster.
What should be a collaborative effort can feel like a battle just to survive. How does an actor make herself totally vulnerable to access the deepest emotions while being forced to rush to get the shot before they lose the light?
Penny's entire career as an acting coach and teacher has been about developing an approach to the craft of acting that is grounded in the teachings of the great masters, and yet prepares and equips actors for success in the reality of today's acting industry. Her classes have been arming actors with this ever evolving eminently usable approach to the craft, preparing them to succeed in this modern fast paced world of acting.
Her actors are always ready to act. They face the challenge of any acting situation without fear. In fact, they relish it!

The clustered columnstore index which shipped with SQL Server 2014 is busy revolutionizing the Data Warehousing landscape in SQL Server. When creating a Fact Table in a data warehouse you will almost without question put a Clustered Columnstore (CCI) on the table instead of the traditional Clustered Index.
You get numerous benefits when using a CCI index. Below are a few of these benefits.
- 90 % compression on the data
- Lightning fast aggregate queries
- The index is write-enabled. You can thus run insert, update and delete queries against the table unlike the Non-Clustered Columnstore index in SQL Server 2012
The clustered columnstore index changes the internals of the table structure completely. Instead of the traditional row based heap type storage the clustered columnstore index stores the data in a columnar fashion.
If you have not used Clustered Columnstore Indexes yet then this is definitely worth trying out on your Data Warehouse. Stay posted for more blogs on this topic.

You rock a pipe like no other :)
Let me know what you think about the new photos :) Enjoy!

As far as we know God of War's Kratos is the only character making a guest spot in the upcoming Mortal Kombat game, out next week. With the popularity of this rebooted videogame franchise you'd think they would have spent a bit more on guest spots in their games. Hell, Soul Caliber has a special character for each console their game came out on and they must have only spent a fraction for their guest players. With amount of violence that's going to be in the game, it's no surprise that these other popular characters didn't make the cut.

I went into complete panic mode worrying that I lost so many precious memories along with a large number of important papers and work photos. Suddenly I gained a new appreciation for the term 'back up'...something I've only done on occasion! (Yes, I know that is such a sad statement to make considering I've been in business for so long. But apparently I had been in denial thinking that something like this wouldn't happen to me.)
As well as the laptop I use I have another older laptop that still runs, but the power adaptor needs replaced so that computer wasn't working either. Therefore we were down to only one computer and we had to take turns using the laptop. My whole family was sort of wondering around in circles all weekend! It was kind of sad to see how we are all so addicted to our computers.
But I tried to make lemonade out of my lemons! Here are some of the things I took care of while living somewhat computer-free for a few days:
- I cleaned out my pantry.
- I cleaned around our computer desk as well as under the desk where all the dust bunnies love to hide.
- I had all the laundry done way before Monday--which rarely happens around here.
- I learned how to use our external hard drive--which will be used on a regular basis now!
- We got all of our tax papers together and had them ready to drop off.
- And on Sunday morning as I wondered around the house trying to find something to do I kept telling myself, "Jane, it's okay if you lost all of those photos. What's more important is that your family is together. You have three beautiful and healthy children. Your husband loves you. You have a roof over your head..." and so on. So even though I was worried I knew everything was going to be okay.
So over the past few days I learned a huge lesson from many aspects. First of all...Back up your work! Secondly when you are forced into some down time you have to pick yourself up, get busy and get those things you've left on the back burner taken care of. And finally and most important, look around you and focus on and realize what really matters in your life!
Okay...now that I have my favorite computer back there will be more on the way soon...until then,

There's someone aching, grieving, and in despair.
Someone is troubled, confused, and facing difficulty.
God has a word for you that he wants you to download. Receive this word today!
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid"
John 14:27

Golden goblets
the cupboards
held possessions
hung with care
This is the coolest thing
―no, indescribable
there are no words
so don't say it.
When melancholia hit
there was nothing to do
but sit
on the edge and cry.
What am I saying
you could throw yourself
off the side
and you did
you almost died.
We spent the night
nursing you
I don't speak of it much,
do you?
In the morning,
rode on the back of a motorcycle
to lay in the sun
on a "pay by towel" basis.
Had my picture taken
thank god for glasses
my eyes were shaken.
Threw your hat
into the wake
said goodbye
Take this man
And then alone
just beast and being
was it You who sent
such a prehistoric go-between?
to shake him
from his reverie―
Keep in mind,
guilt and fear
flow from love.
dark and deep
you can throw a piece
but sink the whole ship
if peace is what you seek.
The day my bracelet
snapped off on the stern
I knew something like this
would happen.

The K family has had a busy fall, and it's not over yet. In the past 3 months, we have completed not one, not two, but five car trips with the kiddos. Yep, you read that right. We've gone on 5 car trips since August, and we're not through yet. With all of that driving, I have found myself being very grateful for three things:
1. My husband does all of the driving.
I have an admission to make. I fall asleep if I drive long distances. When my sister got married, her in-laws threw her a shower about 3 hours away from the Cities. I had to stop at a gas station on my way home to buy a cold caffeinated drink in order to get home semi-safely. So I'm very happy to say that my husband is amazing and does all of the driving on long car trips. Also, Kevin driving lets me climb between into the back seat if any crying does start.
2. We bought a minivan with a DVD player in it.
We didn't watch movies on car trips when I was a little kid, so I didn't fully appreciate how awesome a built-in DVD player would be. Lynnie will literally watch TV shows for an entire 13 hour drive, which makes it much more pleasant for Mom and Dad. GIbby tries to watch, but he's still pretty little and in a rear-facing car seat. I'm counting the months until we can turn his seat around and let him watch too!
3. Our children are amazing travelers.
Lynn gets totally absorbed in her movies, and Gibby loves reading books!
Some of our friends have said that their kids cry the whole way to Wisconsin. In an 8-hour drive, we only have one or two melt-downs, and even those are usually short-lived. As long as I can climb into the back and sit between the munchkins for a few minutes, the tears stop quickly and giggling (or quiet tv watching) resume.
Here's the list of our favorite car "necessities" with the munchkins: puzzles, stickers & paper, board books (because Gibby still tears the pages of real books as we found out on one trip), trucks, movies.
What tricks do you have for getting through long car trips with little ones?

One of my favorite things about living where I do, and how I do, is evening horse chores. Especially in the winter when it gets dark around 4:30. There is something about the crunch of snow underfoot, the nicker of horses in greeting, the fact that the entire world is turned off, and the only thing that matters is me and my horses. It's serenity. It's the smell of hay filling a world that is crisp, clean, and sterile. It's that time of day when everything melts away and I'm left with absolute and complete calm.

One of our children asked me Sunday night, if I thought that a sincere prayer request of his (and really of our whole family) would be answered in the way that we hoped. The circumstances surrounding this situation seem fairly dire, however there have been some hopeful signs that what we all wish would happen might. As a mother, I wanted to reassure him and tell him that everything would be fine, and that all would end up just as we prayed it would, however, my duty as a mother and a Believer required me to be honest with my son.
I told him that I honestly believe that the Lord will answer our prayers and the prayers of others concerning this. Does that mean that I believe everything is going to go the way that we all think it should? No, but I certainly hope it does.
Over the years, my prayers have changed drastically. As a young Christian (and admittedly even sometimes now) I have been guilty of thinking and analyzing a thing so thoroughly that by the time I sincerely prayed about it (even repeatedly), I basically was telling the Lord how to solve the problems and concerns of myself and others – all the while worrying and fretting and wringing my hands. Now, I have become more cognizant of the sweet truth of Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." I now try to remember to pray that my prayers are in accordance with His perfect will. I try to remember that His ways are higher than my ways. His solutions much better than mine. I try to remember that so many times in my life when things seemed to go really badly that as time went on, I saw how what we often think of as "unanswered prayers" many times became my biggest blessings.
It is hard for me to understand how a person apart from the Lord Jesus has any hope in this world at all. I cannot see how they could have a moment's peace trusting in themselves, or their careers, or their money, or their health, or their goodness. We've all seen those things come crashing down time after time for person after person. Only a personal relationship with Jesus will ensure that everything will truly be okay, in fact, not just okay but PERFECT!
We are taught through Scripture to "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)" and to "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)"
Our God is All-mighty, All-knowing, Ever-present, and best of all He loves us! He loves us SO much that "He sent His only begotten Son" to take our sins upon Himself and die for us in order to save us so that we can spend eternity with Him, justified, sanctified and finally glorified! His Grace is sufficient! With Him, nothing is impossible! The Lord Jesus intercedes on our behalf! His blood has washed us white as snow! We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS! We have the precious promises and assurances through His Word and the Holy Spirit that our steps are ordered, and for us Believers who have trusted Jesus, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE! Thank Him graciously, (even in advance) for answering our prayers!!
Philippians 4:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

What Are The Sosnoffs Up To in the Arts Since Their Big Give?/
In 2009, Atalanta Sosnoff Capital founder Martin T. Sosnoff and his wife Toni gave a $5 million gift to American Ballet Theatre (ABT) to endow new ballet works commissioned by the company. It's not every day that we see an individual gift this large in the realm of the performing arts, and in fact, the couple's gift was the largest single donation from an individual to ABT. The couple has supported ABT for more than two decades now, and Sosnoff currently serves as chair of the investment committee.
What of the Sosnoff's arts giving since this gift?
Well, the couple's Martin and Toni Sosnoff Foundation has continued to support ABT. In the 2014 fiscal year, the Sonnoffs gave close to $640,000 to Ballet Theatre Foundation, as well as similar sums in another recent year.
Other recent arts grantees include Palm Beach Opera, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Manhattan Theatre Club, Roundabout Theater Company, Signature Theater Company, and the Met Opera. The couple also has an interest in film and has funded the Tribeca Film Festival and the Woodstock Film Festival. The couple recently moved from New York to Florida and this may emerge as another important region of giving.
Besides the performing arts, the Sosnoffs are avid collectors of contemporary art and regularly send support to museums, including institutions like the The Met, the Guggenheim, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Arts- Houston.
The Sosnoffs have also funded the arts at colleges and universities. Toni Sosnoff graduated with a drama degree from Hofstra University and the couple recently funded a theater at Hofstra that was renamed the Toni and Martin Sosnoff Theater. It's tough to talk about this couple's giving without bringing up Bard College, where Sosnoff was a trustee for two decades and which the couple recently gave $764,000 via their foundation. The couple's philanthropy at Bard has heavily involved the Fisher Center for Performing Arts, the site of the Sosnoff Theater. Both Sosnoff and Toni serrve on the Fisher Center's advisory board.
The Martin and Toni Sosnoff Foundation's grantmaking also involves health and animals. Sosnoff is an active competitor in dressage, and Toni has maintained an active breeding and exhibition program for both standard and toy poodles for some 25 years. For a complete overview of this funder's work, read our profile of Martin Sosnoff linked below.

If you've never had to ponder doomsday scenarios for your website when the message "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute." shows up on the screen where your handcrafted, artisinal content once displayed, count yourself lucky.
This has happened to me on numerous occasions, usually after an update of some sort.
Should you re-upload WordPress? Re-upload your theme? Call for help? Drink?
You may elect to imbibe for your personal pleasure, but none of these are otherwise necessary. This problem is a common one for self-hosted WordPress users and it takes two seconds to resolve.
First you need to get into your ftp files. I use FileZilla to do this, but there are a lot of other clients that do this (GoDaddy has a web-based solution for this). Once into the base files (they should be the first set of files you see), there will be a file named ".maintenance." Delete it. If you haven't done anything with your files in an ftp client this may seem scary, but this is a completely superfluous file and is fine to delete.
Once you delete the file your site will be restored to its previous glory. And that's it.
If you encounter this I hope it solved your problem and that you handled it a lot better than I did when it first happened to me. 🙂

I just finished reading this book.
The "Who Is First?", "How Do I Become Second?" and "What Now?" sections to close the book are the best, simple explanations of who God is, what a relationship with Jesus is and what it means for your life and what you should do after you accept Jesus that I have ever seen in a book. Simple, clear and biblical. And, I think, great to use as you share about Jesus with your friends as well as disciple new Christians.
Don't know if anyone cares about what books I'm reading but I've decided when me or my girlfriend read a good one that we think others might like we are, from time to time, going to share it. My girlfriend is currently reading this book and she can't put it down either.
I Am Second is one we think you should read.
