Get Sorted MK!
What is Get Sorted MK?
It's the new recycling campaign for MK being run by MK Council. Many people recycle their rubbish very well but everyone could do a little more to help make MK a more greener more environmentally friendly place.
We've also teamed up with participating town, community and parish councils who signed up to the scheme - check if your local parish is taking part on the list (JPG, 58KB).
Get Sorted MK is a new, fun and useful way to find out about how all sorts of things can be recycled, reused or repurposed from MK Council. Contamination of the recycling bags is a problem in MK and a high number of these are arriving at the Materials Recycling Factory (MRF) every week with things like food waste or dirty nappies in them which have to be picked out by hand!
These can also contaminate the recyclable items inside the bag making the whole bag unsuitable for recycling. On the new website Get Sorted MK you can find out information, get tips and advice and upload your photos about recycling in MK.
Maybe you've held a swishing (clothes swap) events or been litter picking in your local area?
Or maybe you've discovered a great way to repurpose a piece of furniture or an old car tyre?
Being responsible about how we dispose of our rubbish means less going to landfill which is good for the city and the environment.
Working with parishes
MK Council asked all town, community and parish councils if they would like to sign up to the Get Sorted MK! campaign. In return for promoting the campaign in their local areas they will receive a cash lump sum just for signing up plus additional cash sums if the amount of contamination in the recycling bags goes down over the year. The money can be spent on whatever they like as long as it's for the community.
What will MK Council be doing?
As well as working with parish councils to reduce contamination in recycling bags and increase recycling, MK Council are also launching a number of projects and activities throughout the year including:
- New microsite - www.getsortedmk.co.uk
- Competitions - for all schools in MK
- Great prizes to give away
- Fun games and activities
- Free giveaways
- Support, advice and guidance for people to hold their own recycling or repurposing events
Resources for parishes
if you are a participating parish, you can use any of the resources on the left hand side of the page to help you with your own local Get Sorted MK! campaign.
Please send any events, photos or achievements to us as well so we can show off your efforts!

Disclaimer: This article may contain spoilers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
When Mads Mikkelsen was first cast in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first of hopefully many standalone anthology films set in the Star Wars universe, I thought it was a foregone conclusion that the man would be a bad guy. He'd already conformed to the role in many projects such as Casino Royale and Hannibal, and it's a role that he's been typecast in quite well.
However, some time ago, it was revealed he would actually be Galen Erso, the father of Felicity Jones' character, Jyn Erso. I still wasn't convinced that he'd be a good character, as there are plenty of stories where the fathers actually turn out to the be the bad guy (hello, Empire Strikes Back), but the odds were increasingly against me, as the character seemed to be something of a scientists whose knowledge could potentially be used for bad (I'm certainly getting a Manhattan Project vibe here).
Now, based on the synopsis from upcoming Rogue One prequel book, Catalyst, it sounds like the Manhattan Project feeling I got was correct.
Check it out (note that Ben Mendelsen's character is named Orson Krennic):
"War is tearing the galaxy apart. For years the Republic and the Separatists have battled across the stars, each building more and more deadly technology in an attempt to win the war. As a member of Chancellor Palpatine's top secret Death Star project, Orson Krennic is determined to develop a superweapon before their enemies can. And an old friend of Krennic's, the brilliant scientist Galen Erso, could be the key.
"Galen's energy-focused research has captured the attention of both Krennic and his foes, making the scientist a crucial pawn in the galactic conflict. But after Krennic rescues Galen, his wife, Lyra, and their young daughter, Jyn, from Separatist kidnappers, the Erso family is deeply in Krennic's debt. Krennic then offers Galen an extraordinary opportunity: to continue his scientific studies with every resource put utterly at his disposal. While Galen and Lyra believe that his energy research will be used purely in altruistic ways, Krennic has other plans that will finally make the Death Star a reality. Trapped in their benefactor's tightening grasp, the Ersos must untangle Krennic's web of deception to save themselves and the galaxy itself.â€
This definitely sounds like a story worth telling, and a dynamic worth exploring.
If we piece together that Galen Erso is a bit of a reluctant weapons developer, then that line in the international trailer for Rogue One makes sense. If you don't recall, Mon Mothma says the following to Jyn Erso:
"We have intercepted a coded Imperial transmission. It indicates that a major weapons test is iminent."
And then Cassian Andor states, "The message was sent by your father," which is Galen Erso.
Of course, it's possible that the trailer is misrepresenting those lines, but if we are to piece it together, it sounds like Jyn's own father is trying his best to get destroy the Death Star before it causes any damage.
In short, it sounds like I was dead wrong about Mikkelsen's character being a baddie. I guess we aren't all perfect (I'm pretty close, though). But it still sounds like pretty darn interesting stuff. What do you think of this new development? Let us know your thoughts down below!

Pink Binky. | Farmington Family Photographer
You may recognize the little girl in these photos. Remember, she was the baby in a bit of a hurry (to be born) that I wrote about before?
Well, she's taking the same approach when it comes to growing. I made sure mama Gina and I set up a time to take some family photos before her darling Emmalyn grew too much. If you're a parent, you know just how fast that infant stage passes and I knew she wouldn't want to wait too long.
Aren't they just the sweetest family you've ever seen? I adore them.
Don't let her grow too fast, Daddy!
Though, if I had to bet, he's probably already trying his absolute hardest.

Away from the tourist filled beaches, there's a different world waiting to be discovered. Join me on a travel through the magnificient Canary Islands: from the sandy dunes of Gran Canaria, to the volcanic beaches of windy Fuerteventura, to the heights of Tenerife and clear skies of La Palma.
This book was made possible, by the popular crowdfunding platform Kickstarter in June 2015. Thanks to the support from all backers, the project got the final push that it needed to get all the way over the finishing line.
Together with the book, there is an online companion that describes the locations and the digital post processes used in Adobe Lightroom, to create the photos throughout this book. Perhaps giving you some inspiration for your next trip?
This is a hardcover format. Identical content as the kickstarter edition but created with a different printing technique.
The Great Canaries is more than a fine art book. Each page has an accompanying web page that explains in detail the location of the shot, settings used and what post process method applied to get the image that you see.
All you need to take shots like this by yourself next time you are out in the Canaries. See this example:

It's interesting how the concept of the internet was just an idea, but gradually scientists began to explore various to expand the computer's role. Gilder (1994) argues that "the global medium of the internet would shrink the universe, promote dialogue between nations and foster global understanding." I find this particular concept to be relevant in the world of social networking. Social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have over 100 million active users making it simple to stay connected in people's lives and changed the way we interact with each other.However it was the internet itself that was the main focal point of social interactivity.
One could argue that the development of technology has made us constantly seek the new next best thing, for example a faster connection. I find it interesting how every year approximately 200 million people sign up each year and it has been reported that by 2016 we are expected to be north of two billion social media users. I think through these statistics alone it proves how much the social media is developing. However with this is in mind, is it worth exploring the harmful effects social media has on our society. With all these new and exciting features the majority view, how many people are aware of certain rules and regulations?

Online Banking Enterprise™ clients can opt in to use a combination of the following security options under Manage user access (MUA):
Manage user access (MUA) is a facility on Online Banking Enterprise™ to restrict users to specific PCs/times and/or IP addresses. Users can be restricted to specific times of the day and/or specific days of the week. For example, you can restrict a user to working hours on normal working days and deny any access outside these restrictions.
An IP address or range can be used to restrict a user to a specific corporate network. This option is not really appropriate for small network setups where the IP address is likely to be dynamic. However, it does add a lot more security to the Online Banking Enterprise™ profile.
Review your Event log to determine the consistency of your IP address to determine if this is a suitable control for you. If you have a static IP range, this control can be invaluable in preventing unauthorised access to your banking profile.
Trusted profiles allows clients restrict their users to specific PCs/devices.

Dr. Tavia Mathers and Dr. Renea Beckstrand from Brigham Young University published in the Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in 2009 that magnesium has been heralded as an ingredient to watch for 2010 and noted that magnesium is helpful for reduction of the risk of stroke[2] Population-based information suggests that people with low magnesium in their diet are at greater risk for stroke. Clinical evidence suggests that magnesium is helpful in the treatment of a stroke.
"In newborns, the first symptoms of stroke are often seizures that involve only one arm or one leg. That symptom is so common that stroke is thought to account for about 10 percent of seizures in full-term newborns. Seizure is a much less common stroke symptom in adults," Roach said. He emphasized that speedy diagnosis and treatment are still very important to minimize the risk for brain damage, disability and death. The problem is that vaccine promoting pediatricians are pretty much brain dead themselves when it comes to speedy diagnosis or appropriate treatment for neurological and vascular problems in children because they themselves are causing these problems.
The current RDA is considered to be sufficient but
there is mounting evidence that this figure is much
lower than optimal intake and that this low level of magnesium
contributes to degenerative diseases and even strokes in children.
Experts now believe that a significant number of cerebral palsy cases may be due to strokes before or right after birth and that administration of magnesium sulfate given before birth to pregnant women, is preventing occurrances of cerebral palsy by a significant percent.
In orthodox medicine adult strokes are said to be caused by high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a history of smoking, too much alcohol and obesity. Children's strokes, on the other hand, are thought to be caused by birth defects, infections (e.g. meningitis, encephalitis), trauma, and blood disorders such as sickle cell disease. Nowhere do you see in the literature that severe magnesium deficiency could have anything to do with it even though it is well known that high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a history of smoking and too much alcohol and obesity are all correlated with magnesium deficiencies.
In my practice the use of magnesium in the early
stages of a stroke has rendered the best results
for my patients who have the greatest deficits.

Choosing Color for Your Home Interior
by Lorene Bartos, Extension Educator
Spring is here and it is time to think about sprucing up the house. Time has come to make a priority list of things needing to be done around the house, such as, the painting job put off last year.
As you consider these changes in your home, think about the importance of color and the part it plays in the home. Color in the home portrays personality, influences mood, defines space and suggests function and temperature. Whether you are choosing colors for the first time or changing the decor of home there are many factors to consider in choosing colors for the home. These are room size, shape, orientation, use, personal preference and lighting.
To make color planning easier:
Consider the people who use the home.
Decide on the effect you are trying to create, such as formal or casual, warm or cool.
Evaluate existing furnishings.
Break the home into categories, such as large and small rooms, north or south orientation, or different levels of use.
Subdivide the rooms and furnishings into main areas (floor, walls, ceiling), secondary areas (window treatments, large furnishings) and accents areas. The room scheme is primarily determined by main and secondary areas.
Plan purchases for the future. Samples or swatches of existing color should be kept handy for reference when shopping.
When choosing paint for a small room, consider painting all the walls the same color. Using a flat paint in a light color, the walls will appear to recede. For an oversized room, consider trimming window frames and moldings in a contrasting or complementary color to the wall. Use a darker or muted paint color to visually decrease the room size. If the room is long and narrow, paint the end wall a darker or contrasting color. This will visually square-off the room. For rooms with poor lighting, use pale colors to reflect more light than darker colors. Glossy paint finishes reflect more light.
Bring paint chip samples home to test in day and night light. Colors often appear darker or more vibrant when painted on a large wall.
Colors in the home need to reflect your likes and fit in with your lifestyle. Color trends change quite often so consider your budget and how long you will need to keep the new look before changing color schemes.

European stocks lost ground Thursday, with Deutsche Bank AG among the companies whose shares investors are chopping down in the wake of financial updates.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.22% gave up 0.3% to close at 361.95, paring back from a 0.9% gain made in the previous session.
U.K. stocks, however, bucked the negative trend on Thursday, moving higher after the Bank of England struck a more dovish tone in its latest policy update than analysts had expected.
Deutsche Bank rout: Shares of Deutsche Bank DBK, -0.29% DB, -0.12% were near the bottom of the Stoxx 600, with a 5.2% slide putting them on course for their worst session in fourth months. The lender posted a worse-than-expected fourth-quarter net loss of €1.9 billion ($2.05 billion) after taking €1.6 billion in litigation charges.
The bank, which has recently agreed to settle some large legal matters in the U.S. and the U.K., still has unresolved investigations.
The drop in Deutsche shares was helping to push Germany's DAX 30 index DAX, +0.30% lower by 0.3% to close at 11,627.95.
Other movers: Also in Frankfurt, shares of Daimler AG DAI, +0.67% fell 2.7%. The auto maker's fourth-quarter net profit rose to €2.15 billion, but that fell short of a projection of €2.26 billion in a Dow Jones survey of analysts.
Novo Nordisk A/S NOVOB, -0.02% NVO, +0.24% fell 7.3% after the Danish drugmaker cut its sales and operating profit outlook.
On the upside, Reckitt Benckiser RB., -1.51% rose 4.1%. The maker of Lysol and Vanish has confirmed it's in talks to buy baby-food maker Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. US:MJN in a deal worth $16.7 billion.
Meanwhile, Swatch Group Ltd. shares UHR, +1.03% climbed 1% after the Swiss watchmaker said 2016 net profit dropped 47% to 593 million Swiss francs and revenue fell 11% to 7.55 billion Swiss francs. But Swatch anticipates "healthy growth" in 2017.
Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB, -0.19% RDS.B, +0.41% ended up 1.6%, with the oil producer saying fourth-quarter cash flow from operations leapt nearly 70% to $9.2 billion. That appears to be enough to cover Shell's cash dividend payments for the period. Fourth-quarter and annual profit at Shell dropped.
BOE's 'Super Thursday': The Bank of England in its quarterly inflation report lifted its growth forecast for the U.K. sharply, but signaled it was in no rush to raise interest rates. The central bank now sees gross domestic product expanding by 2% this year, up from 1.4% expected earlier.
However, the bank also said it sees inflation peaking a little under 2.8% in 2018, compared with a little above 2.8% in the November inflation report, before falling back to 2.4% in three year's time.
"Combine this with comments from [BOE Governor Mark] Carney suggesting he could also see scenarios where rates move in 'either direction' and things were more dovish than the pound would have liked," said Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex, in a note.
The pound GBPUSD, +0.1150% slid to $1.2536, down from $1.2665 ahead of the BOE releases. Sterling fetched $1.2658 late Wednesday in New York.
Also: Time to buy the beaten-down pound? Bank of America spots a sterling bottom
National indexes: The pound slump gave a boost to the U.K's FTSE 100 UKX, +0.16% which rose 0.5% to end at 7,140.75. About 75% of revenue from the FTSE 100 are generated overseas, so a weaker sterling boosts the earnings of companies with international profits.
France's CAC 40 PX1, +0.38% closed marginally lower at 4,794.29 and Switzerland's SMI SMI, +0.16% pulled back 0.6% to 8,276.70.
The euro EURUSD, -0.0176% was buying $1.0802 versus $1.0768 late Wednesday.

Huge pus-filled pimples on my cheeks and tiny red ones scattered thorough my forehead. Nothing on my nose or lower chin. My acne was just getting better at the end of my 1st month of accutane treatment... all the bumps on my cheeks went down and the zits on my forehead dried and peeled off... when all of a sudden BOOM! a cluster of pimples on both cheeks GYAAARGHH!! I'm just going to continue my regime of Cetaphil cleanser and some topical anti-biotic gel prescribed to me by my derm. I hope they go down again. T__T I already have enough scars on my face. My skin is rough, uneven, red patches here and there etc. etc.. To be frank I feel really depressed because I'm supposed to go to Shanghai World EXPO this Saturday with my best friend... and I thought my face could be pimple free by then...

The principle of motivation has resurfaced as an independent variable in the field of behavior analysis over the past 20 years. The increased interest is the result of the refinements of the concept of the motivating operation (Michael, 1993) and its application to the learning needs of persons with autism and developmental disabilities. This presentation will provide an overview of antecedent-based instructional modifications to reduce escape and avoidance behavior by reducing the value of the conditioned motivating operation-reflexive (CMO-R). A conceptually systematic analysis of the influence of instructional methods is offered as a tool for improving the selection and implementation of effective teaching procedures. Video illustrations of application of the concepts will be provided.

A unique conservation effort brings together eight villages to protect the population and habitat of Belize's Black Howler Monkey, affectionately called "baboons" by the locals. The Black Howler Monkey is the largest monkey in the Americas, and found only in a small section of Central America. Located within an area of approximately 20 square miles, straddling the Belize River, the Community Baboon Sanctuary combines dense jungle with farmland, pasture, and small village life. In addition to providing sanctuary for the monkeys, the conservation program here encompasses protecting the trees that provide food for the monkeys, preserving the forest along the riverbanks to prevent erosion and siltation, and maintaining corridors of habitat around pastures and farms. You can often hear the mysterious, rasping roar of the monkeys in the distance, as soon as you get out of your vehicle. The Centre is an educational, jungle exhibit-type museum that demonstrates the interesting features and facts on the area.
Tour departs: 6 am
Drive time: 2.5 hours each way
What to wear/bring: Shorts, t-shirt, hiking shoes or good sandals, hat, swim suit, beach towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, repellent, US or BZ dollars for petty cash.
Not included: entry fees, lunch.

Sweden Goes Digital Early, One City at a Time
June 29, 2005
Sweden is leading Europe in the transition to digital TV, with analog broadcasts being shut down as early as this September. Instead of setting a single date for the whole country, Sweden is making the switch in small increments.
The process will be complete by January 31, 2008, almost a year before the U.S. will break with analog.
Sweden's task is made simpler because there are only three analog broadcast channels in the country. Between five and seven digital channels can be added using the spectrum required for one analog channel. That efficiency was one of the main motivations for the switch to digital in the first place.
Swedish broadcasters, like their U.S. counterparts, have been broadcasting separate analog and digital signals. The high cost of running two parallel systems was one of the factors in the decision to shut down the analog channels early.
Fewer than 25% of Swedes get their TV programming over the air; the rest rely on cable and satellite service. The new digital broadcast channels for the time being appear to be standard definition, although since Sweden has used the European analog PAL TV standard, their standard-def is 625 lines per frame, significantly better than the U.S. NTSC standard.
Prices for digital-to-analog converter boxes will start at less than 1000 SEK ($128) for accessing free channels. More sophisticated models, with more features and accommodating a program card, will cost more.
The first city to convert is Gotland (Sept 19, 2005), then Gavle (October 10), and then Motala (November 21). The three cities are in different parts of the country.
Analog transmitters in other parts of Sweden will be powered down during 2006 and 2007. Stockholm will bid goodbye to its analog channels in March 2007.
Sweden's Digital TV Commission has put out a 3-page educational piece to help Swedes make the transition. Click here for an English-language version (pdf file). It begins:
Sweden is converting to digital television!
It provides basic information about the transition in clear language, with important information repeated throughout the document.
Because most people relying on over-the-air broadcasts will need a converter box, it focuses on that. It describes specific circumstances when telling people whether they will need a converter box: Have an aerial? Live in a house or apartment? Cable or satellite?
An FAQ section answers common questions. Topics include recording programs with a converter box, need to buy a new TV, need for a new antenna, etc.
At the end of the piece, a checklist repeats the basics: TV, box, coverage, channel selection. If there are still questions, a web site address and telephone number are provided.

The Way We Were: Rogers Baldwin "Tiger" Holmes
When your list of accomplishments include World War II fighter pilot, big game hunter, helicopter pilot, successful entrepreneur, world champion athlete, friend to United States presidents, husband, father of five, grandfather of eight and great-grandfather of seven plus two more on the way, there doesn't seem to be much else left to do.
Except write a book, so Rogers "Tiger" Holmes did just that. "A Tiger Tale: The Life and Times of Rogers B. Holmes," is Holmes' legacy for his progeny.
"I wanted to leave something for the kids," he said. "My mother knew all about ancestry but she didn't write it down, so I wrote it for the
Ted Boutwell, Class of 1936 Robert E. Lee High School football team captain, dubbed Holmes "Tiger" after he had gotten into a fight and fought like a tiger.
The nickname stuck all these years and for good reason. Holmes has grabbed life and given it a good shake. At age 95 he is still fierce, witty, magnetic and vibrant.
At a time of life when most people would be content to sit in a rocking chair this Tiger is still growling. Just ask him about his views on education, technology or social unrest. He is a passionate believer in the goodness of mankind, but remarked, "We don't teach history anymore. The lessons from World War II should be ingrained in every child so we can learn from that. War is a terrible thing."
Holmes was flying P51s and A26 Attack Bombers when he was around 22 years old. He observed firsthand the unbelievable destruction.
"I learned a lot. During the war, the Japanese, along with the Germans, were the cruelest, meanest people imaginable, yet I lived a year in occupied Japan and there couldn't be a nicer race of people," he said. "I believe every child of every race is born equal. One thing I've failed to do in life is be a better advocate of peace and good will."
Holmes and Lockwood (Lockie) Morris were married at St. John's Episcopal Church in Jacksonville during his senior year at University of Florida. "Our families were best friends. Her father, Dr. Kenneth Morris, was my godfather, and my dad was Lockie's godfather. Dr. Morris was a wonderful person. He was chief of surgery at several local hospitals and a great friend."
The couple had five children: Leighton Holmes Tesche, Rogers Holmes, Jr., Kenneth Holmes, Lockwood Holmes and Mary Holmes Roebuck.
"All of my kids are great people. All of them went to Lee except Mary – she went to Bolles to be on the swim team," said Holmes.
Unfortunately, the couple divorced after 20 years – a difficult experience for both. Years later, through their mutual social circle, Holmes connected with Jacqueline Mulliken. "She was an art consultant, a brilliant woman and an interesting person," he said. "We had a small wedding and moved out to Doctor's Lake."
Holmes added two stepchildren to his family – Connell Pinckney and Elizabeth Drake, as well as Jacque's three grandchildren. Sadly, Jacque passed on in January 2017; they were married 42 years.
A fierce competitor in business, Holmes founded Holmes Lumber Company and later ran a highly successful Muscadine Grape Farm.
"After the war I went to work for Demuth Lumber Company but then I got involved in retail sales. I started with a second hand truck and me as the driver," he said, holding up his thumb and finger to form a zero, indicating what he had to start with. "I had a shed on Tallyrand Avenue – did all the delivery, unloading, everything myself. When the kids came along they were all involved in the business at some point. They just fit right in.
"When my son Lockwood and I sold Holmes Lumber Company to Builder's Choice in 2008 we had over 400 employees. Around the turn of the 21st century I decided I wanted to be a farmer, so I bought 40 acres in Clay County and went into the grape business. I ended up with the largest muscadine grape farm in Florida. The last year of operation, in the early 2000s, I sold 92,000 pounds of grapes to Publix and Winn Dixie, then sold the land to Eagle Harbor," Holmes said.
Holmes' family is distinguished. Baldwin, Florida is named for his grandfather, Dr. Abel S. Baldwin, a doctor in Jacksonville during the Civil War; the only doctor at the time, according to Holmes. Baldwin's wife and son, who was also a doctor, died in the Yellow Fever Epidemic. Known as the father of the port of Jacksonville, Baldwin was also president of the Florida Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad and founder of the Florida Medical Association and the Duval County Medical Association.
When complimented on his grandfather's successes, Holmes, quick to smile and joke, said "Well, I didn't have anything to do with it."
Although his ancestry is respected and his childhood privileged – his parents held county club memberships, had cars, servants and entertained at their home on Mallory Street in Riverside – life changed abruptly during the Depression. His father's investments and inheritance were lost. The family moved to Murray Hill which at that time was in the country.
"My father was the greatest guy who ever lived. He took a job as a salesman and worked so hard. We weren't very well off when I was in my teens so I worked my way through University of Florida, where I was elected to the Honor Court, was in Florida Blue Key and president of the Class of 1948," said Holmes. "I started in 1939 but the war broke out and I went back after that on the GI Bill. Majored in Business Administration. Joined KA (Kappa Alpha fraternity) and was captain of the swim team."
Holmes is rightfully proud of his athletic heritage. His mother, Winnie Rogers Holmes, was State Amateur Women's Golf Champion and president of the Florida Amateur Golf Association. His father, John London Holmes, was a Timuquana Club Golf Champion.
"Believe it or not competition is one of the best ways to promote friendship. It is a stepping stone to finding a common ground," said Holmes, a great supporter of competitive sports. "You get to know the other person; learn that your competitor is a good person."
Holmes has had many opportunities to test his theory – on the golf course and through his competitive swimming.
In his early years, Holmes was Southeastern 50-yard freestyle champion; he swam in the All Service Olympics in 1946; he has graced the cover of Swim Magazine; was a collegiate athlete at University of Florida, has won 14 national and four world backstroke championships since starting in his 60s to compete in the Masters competitions in that age group. He was World Master Butterfly Champion in 1990, '92 and '94 and is in the UF Hall of Fame. Holmes, John Corse, Ed Graves and Bill Adams set the world record in 2015 for the 800 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relays in the Master's Competition.
Holmes has swum competitively in events around the world, from Jacksonville to Brisbane, Australia. He founded the Holmes Lumber Jax Masters Team and sponsored Holmes Lumber Gators, which went on to win state, national and international events.
Many of the Holmes athletes competed in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Olympic winner Mary Wayte led the way to establishing the Tiger Holmes Swimming Endowment at UF.
Despite all the awards and accolades, he insists that his daughter, Mary Holmes Roebuck, is the best athlete in the family. The Holmes Wall of Fame holds plaques and awards and photographs of Tiger with Presidents Reagan, Bush, Nixon and right in the midst of it all are photographs of Mary from childhood to her competition in the Iron Man Competition in Hawaii.
"She was less than three pounds when she was born," said Holmes about her extraordinary achievements. "We didn't hold on to any hopes for her but she was a star swimmer. Just won everything."
From 1990 through 1992, Holmes Lumber Company sponsored instructors from their team to teach local disadvantaged children to swim. "The city bused the kids in and let us use public pools. We worked our butts off. There was insurance to deal with. We had to get 54 of our swimmers certified as swimming instructors. Many of the children didn't even have bathing suits. We managed to teach 12,000 kids to swim! That was just in the summer. You can't put a little kid on the side of a pool in December," said Holmes.
"Telfair Mahaffey, who worked at Holmes Lumber, deserves a lot of credit for this. He and Brenda Hennessy," said Holmes. "You can't ever be anything or do anything without friends and family."
As chairman of the Republican Party for Duval County in the 1970s Holmes hobnobbed with U.S presidents and joked that when he met President Richard Nixon he told him, "You should have burned the damned tapes."
Holmes interjects comments into conversation about canoeing down the Zambezi River, hunting in Honduras, Argentina and Africa, golfing with Sam Snead, fishing in Mexico with pal Bryant Skinner or in Alaska with buddy Hugh Culverhouse, joking with a president, and shooting ducks from a helicopter (you read that correctly) like the average person would mention going to the grocery store.
Despite his many accomplishments and exciting adventures, Tiger is quick to remark how fortunate he is, and describes being "loaded up with clothes and goodies" for the needy children of Honduras when on hunting trips.
"We have the wherewithal in this world to feed every hungry person and the U.S. does so much for the rest of the world. Christianity teaches respect for one another – brotherly love and tolerance," said Holmes. "I cannot tolerate people who want to create unrest. I am a religious person but it is a private thing. I believe in a little meditation and doing something good in the world."
Tiger Holmes' 'pawprints' leave an inspiring legacy of hard work, goodwill and patriotism for his children and grandchildren to follow. An appropriate dedication on one of his many award plaques reads: "Rogers "Tiger" Holmes: No job too great, no job too small that you don't go beyond the call."

Product description
The Declaration of Independence was the promise of a representative government; the Constitution was the fulfillment of that promise. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued a unanimous declaration: the thirteen North American colonies would be the thirteen United States of America, free and independent of Great Britain. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration set forth the terms of a new form of government with the following words: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Framed in 1787 and in effect since March 1789, the Constitution of the United States of America fulfilled the promise of the Declaration by establishing a republican form of government with separate executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, became part of the Constitution on December 15, 1791. Among the rights guaranteed by these amendments are freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and the right to trial by jury. Written so that it could be adapted to endure for years to come, the Constitution has been amended only seventeen times since 1791 and has lasted longer than any other written form of government.
"Take a minute to consider a gift that hasnÂt gone out of style in more than 200 years." —Wall Street Journal

About the Author
Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826) was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). He was an influential Founding Father, and an exponent of Jeffersonian democracy. Jefferson often referred to America as a great "Empire of Liberty" that would promote republicanism. At the beginning of the American Revolution, Jefferson served in the Continental Congress, representing Virginia. He then served as the wartime Governor of Virginia (1779–1781), barely escaping capture by the British in 1781. From mid-1784 Jefferson served as a diplomat, stationed in Paris, initially as a commissioner to help negotiate commercial treaties. In May 1785, he became the United States Minister to France. He was the first United States Secretary of State, (1789–1793). During the administration of President George Washington, Jefferson advised against a national bank and the Jay Treaty. He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the co-founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for 25 years. Jefferson was born, and married into, prominent planter families; he was a loving husband to his wife Martha, who died in childbirth, and an affectionate father to their children. As a planter, Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves throughout his life; he held views on the racial inferiority of Africans common among Virginians for this period in time. After his wife died, Jefferson had an intimate relationship with his slave Sally Hemings, and had six children by her. A participant in The Enlightenment, Jefferson was a polymath who spoke five languages and was deeply interested in science and political philosophy. He wrote more than sixteen thousand letters and was acquainted with many influential people in America and Europe. Along with most southern planters, he disliked the international slave trade and presided over its abolition in 1807. Jefferson is typically rated by historical scholars as one of the greatest U.S. presidents.
From AudioFile
The Declaration of Independence gets a stirring reading from Frank Langella, one that brings alive all the emotions our Founding Fathers must have felt when breaking free of England. Boyd Gainess reading of the Constitution doesnt fare as well, despite his efforts to give it a thoughtful reading that gives listeners plenty of time to ponder its points. It sounds like Gaines is reading a document that just wasnt meant to be read aloud. While important, the passage on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is almost guaranteed to bring yawns. At 48 minutes, the disc falls short of the hour promised on the package. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine– Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Ways to teach your kids about food waste
Forty percent of all food in the U.S. goes to waste when tossed by restaurants, supermarkets and consumers, costing our economy $1 trillion in the last two decades, while destroying 10 percent of global wilderness. Ways to encourage your children to help, according to the educational program "Speak Out. It's YOUR Earth!":
— Start a six-week project challenging your family to reduce food waste by 25 percent.
— Involve children in planning, shopping for, preparing and storing leftovers from a week's meals.
— Volunteer together at a food bank or soup kitchen.
— Don't overload children's plates unless they ask for large portions, and save leftovers for later.
Break free from cooking ruts
As seasons turn, you might crave different types of food. This is the perfect reason to think beyond the ordinary and experiment by using these fresh food ideas from Eggland's Best:
Eat fresh: Enjoy the farm-to-table trend at home by visiting the local farmers market. The sweet peas and strawberries you buy may have just come off the plant that very morning. Stock up on fresh foods for snacking and cooking.
Meal mix-ups: Have fun experimenting to find combos that tantalize the taste buds. Chicken and waffles? Why of course! Watercress Confetti Quinoa for dinner? Yum. Pancakes instead of tortillas when making wraps? Sure!
Plant-based tips for a healthy weight
Registered dietitian Sharon Palmer offers seven tips to achieve or maintain a healthy weight:
Prioritize breakfast. Eating breakfast kickstarts your metabolism and gives you energy and focus.
Add movement. Just 20-30 minutes of daily physical activity, like a brisk walk, can help you maintain or lose weight.
Start with SMART goals. When your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound, you are more likely to achieve them.
Don't skip meals or snacks. Skipping meals can lead to uncontrollable hunger and binge eating.
Pre-portion pistachios. Did you know there are 49 pistachios in one serving? Pre-portion pistachios into small bags on Sunday and you'll be set for a week of smart snacking.
Get creative with pistachio flour. Pistachio flour is a gluten-free flour alternative that can spice up traditional recipes.
Swap your nighttime snack. Swap your typical nighttime snack of cookies, candies, pizza or ice cream for a more balanced choice.
Seared Salmon with Lentil Salad
The Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen recently shared this lean and heart-healthy recipe for a salmon and greens dinner.
4 (5-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. olive oil
2 lemons, halved
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. fresh thyme
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 (15-ounce) can lentils, rinsed
1 small seedless cucumber, cut into pieces
4 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup fresh dill, very roughly chopped
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Heat large skillet on medium. Season salmon fillets with 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Add 2 teaspoon oil to skillet, then salmon and lemon halves, cut-side down, and cook until salmon is opaque throughout, 5 minutes per side. Squeeze the charred lemon halves over salmon.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, remaining 2 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper; stir in thyme. Toss with onion and lentils, then fold in cucumber, spinach and dill. Serve with salmon.

**Nothing To Disclose**
Happy Tuesday Friends! What a beautiful weekend I had! Today I finally have some stamping to show you! It's been so long since I've stamped but wasn't sure how it would turn out, and I'm really loving it:)
For this, I started with a gradient using China Glaze polishes, Petal to the Metal, Peachy Keen, and Lemon Fizz. I then topped it with China Glaze Fairy Dust.
Then I stamped with Sinful Colors Blackest Black, and used the new Pueen Buffet Plates in Pueen 72. I'm thinking of doing a review on these plates, would you like to see that? I love them, I love that every nail doesn't have to be the same! I topped everything with HK Girl Topcoat
The smudging you see isn't from the topcoat, it was from the stamping. It wasn't perfect but I still adore this mani so much.
What do you think of this mani? Personally I adore it, and can't wait to do more stamping. I've done a similar gradient in the past, I can't help it, Pink, orange and yellow go so well together as gradients!
Do you own the Pueen Buffet Collection, what do you think of them? If you have posted an mani's using them I'de love to see what you have done with them!
Until Next Time!

I have OCD and I say fuck you, you dumb freak to the idiot in this article.
A new beer is being denounced as sexist. God, I hate this type of shit.
The ugliest parenting post ever. And there's a lot to choose from in this category.
A blogger denounces hatred and gives a great example of tolerance by ranting against "inbred bucktooth foul mouth cretins in Deep South states." Oh, the beauty of tolerance and brotherly love!
Why Americans love apocalyptic narratives. Good but not deep enough.
An example of how brain-damaged libertarians are. Unless it's another parody that I'm taking too seriously.
Even good, intelligent people are unraveling and start babbling incoherently as a result of Trumpmania. And yes, it's a mania not a phobia. They totally love him.
That's one sad little kid from a very weird family.

The Honourable Wilfrid Desert's rooms were opposite a picture gallery off Cork Street. The only male member of the aristocracy writing verse that any one would print, he had chosen them for seclusion rather than for comfort. His 'junk,' however, was not devoid of the taste and luxury which overflows from the greater houses of England. Furniture from the Hampshire seat of the Cornish nobleman, Lord Mullyon, had oozed into two vans, when Wilfrid settled in. He was seldom to be found, however, in his nest, and was felt to be a rare bird, owing his rather unique position among the younger writers partly to his migratory reputation. He himself hardly, perhaps, knew where he spent his time, or did his work, having a sort of mental claustrophobia, a dread of being hemmed in by people. When the war broke out he had just left Eton; when the war was over he was twenty-three, as old a young man as ever turned a stave. His friendship with Michael, begun in hospital, had languished and renewed itself suddenly, when in 1920 Michael joined Danby and Winter, publishers, of Blake Street, Covent Garden. The scattery enthusiasm of the sucking publisher had been roused by Wilfrid's verse. Hob-nobbing lunches over the poems of one in need of literary anchorage, had been capped by the firm's surrender to Michael's insistence. The mutual intoxication of the first book Wilfrid had written and the first book Michael had sponsored was crowned at Michael's wedding. Best man! Since then, so far as Desert could be tied to anything, he had been tied to those two; nor, to do him justice, had he realised till a month ago that the attraction was not Michael, but Fleur. Desert never spoke of the war, it was not possible to learn from his own mouth an effect which he might have summed up thus: "I lived so long with horror and death; I saw men so in the raw; I put hope of anything out of my mind so utterly, that I can never more have the faintest respect for theories, promises, conventions, moralities, and principles. I have hated too much the men who wallowed in them while I was wallowing in mud and blood. Illusion is off. No religion and no philosophy will satisfy me — words, all words. I have still my senses — no thanks to them; am still capable — I find — of passion; can still grit my teeth and grin; have still some feeling of trench loyalty, but whether real or just a complex, I don't yet know. I am dangerous, but not so dangerous as those who trade in words, principles, theories, and all manner of fanatical idiocy to be worked out in the blood and sweat of other men. The war's done one thing for me — converted life to comedy. Laugh at it — there's nothing else to do!"
Leaving the concert hall on the Friday night, he had walked straight home to his rooms. And lying down full length on a monk's seat of the fifteenth century, restored with down cushions and silk of the twentieth, he crossed his hands behind his head and delivered himself to these thoughts: 'I am not going on like this. She has bewitched me. It doesn't mean anything to her. But it means hell to me. I'll finish with it on Sunday — Persia's a good place. Arabia's a good place — plenty of blood and sand! She's incapable of giving anything up. How has she hooked herself into me! By trick of eyes, and hair, by her walk, by the sound of her voice — by trick of warmth, scent, colour. Fling her cap over the windmill — not she! What then? Am I to hang about her Chinese fireside and her little Chinese dog; and have this ache and this fever because I can't be kissing her? I'd rather be flying again in the middle of Boche whiz-bangs! Sunday! How women like to drag out agonies! It'll be just this afternoon all over again. "How unkind of you to go, when your friendship is so precious to me! Stay, and be my tame cat, Wilfrid!" No, my dear, for once you're up against it! And — so am I, by the Lord! . . .'
When in that gallery which extends asylum to British art, those two young people met so accidentally on Sunday morning in front of Eve smelling at the flowers of the Garden of Eden, there were present also six mechanics in various stages of decomposition, a custodian and a couple from the provinces, none of whom seemed capable of observing anything whatever. And, indeed, that meeting was inexpressive. Two young people, of the disillusioned class, exchanging condemnations of the past. Desert with his off-hand speech, his smile, his well-tailored informality, suggested no aching heart. Of the two Fleur was the paler and more interesting. Desert kept saying to himself: "No melodrama — that's all it would be!" And Fleur was thinking: 'If I can keep him ordinary like this, I shan't lose him, because he'll never go away without a proper outburst.'
It was not until they found themselves a second time before the Eve, that he said:
"I don't know why you asked me to come, Fleur. It's playing the goat for no earthly reason. I quite understand your feeling. I'm a bit of 'Ming' that you don't want to lose. But it's not good enough, my dear; and that's all about it."
"How horrible of you, Wilfrid!"
"Well! Here we part! Give us your flipper."
His eyes — rather beautiful — looked dark and tragic above the smile on his lips, and she said stammering:
"Wilfrid — I— I don't know. I want time. I can't bear you to be unhappy. Don't go away! Perhaps I— I shall be unhappy, too; I— I don't know."
Through Desert passed the bitter thought: 'She CAN'T let go — she doesn't know how.' But he said quite softly: "Cheer up, my child; you'll be over all that in a fortnight. I'll send you something to make up. Why shouldn't I make it China — one place is as good as another? I'll send you a bit of real 'Ming,' of a better period than this."
Fleur said passionately:
"You're insulting! Don't!"
"I beg your pardon. I don't want to leave you angry."
"What is it you want of me?"
"Oh! no — come! This is going over it twice. Besides, since Friday I've been thinking. I want nothing, Fleur, except a blessing and your hand. Give it me! Come on!"
Fleur put her hand behind her back. It was too mortifying! He took her for a cold-blooded, collecting little cat — clutching and playing with mice that she didn't want to eat!
"You think I'm made of ice," she said, and her teeth caught her upper lip: "Well, I'm not!"
Desert looked at her; his eyes were very wretched. "I didn't mean to play up your pride," he said. "Let's drop it, Fleur. It isn't any good."
Fleur turned and fixed her eyes on the Eve — rumbustious-looking female, care-free, avid, taking her fill of flower perfume! Why not be care-free, take anything that came along? Not so much love in the world that one could afford to pass, leaving it unsmelled, unplucked. Run away! Go to the East! Of course, she couldn't do anything extravagant like that! But, perhaps — What did it matter? one man or another, when neither did you really love!
From under her drooped, white, dark-lashed eyelids she saw the expression on his face, and that he was standing stiller than the statues. And suddenly she said: "You will be a fool to go. Wait!" And without another word or look, she walked away, leaving Desert breathless before the avid Eve.

Proud Graduate & Adventure-Seeker
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Accounting and Finance
SIM-University of London
June 2012
Stephanie Shayne Ora is a management consultant at global business and technology consultancy Capco. She is an alumna of the University of London's business programme.
Stephanie used her time in university to discover herself and her passions.
"They say the best lessons in life are learnt outside of the classroom. My time in university provided the platform and flexibility to discover more about myself, design my own career path, and get myself prepared for the world out there."
Stephanie benefited greatly from international exposure.
"SIM GE's Education Abroad programmes are close to my heart because they exposed me to some really great people, environments, and cultures. They equipped me with the skills to excel wherever I go and the mindset to press forward even if I don't."
Stephanie learnt to not be excessively pressured by seemingly 'negative' circumstances.
"Try not to feel too pressured to plan everything ahead – 'failures' and 'wrong decisions' are sometimes what lead us to better outcomes that we cannot foresee."

He made the disclosure on Channels TV's Sunrise Daily programme.
Hon. Ehiozuwa, who chairs House ad-hoc committee on sale of crude oil to foreign destinations, added that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, was aware of the forged letter and that investigations were ongoing to prosecute the culprits.
He said that the level of corruption in the petroleum sector which has been uncovered by his committee requires firm political will, and a radical approach to fight it.
He said: "In this letter here, this is not President Buhari's signature but it was forged by our people – by Nigerians who wanted to sell the crude in China worth about $19 million.
"I tell you the truth, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) is also aware. We are working day and night to also do what is needed to get it right because he (the AGF) is the custodian of the laws in the nation.
"So, I'm saying I must tell you that the corruption in this country didn't just start yesterday. It is a cancer, and to cure cancer, you need a radical approach getting the radical approach in this case means you have to step on peoples' toes, which might affect those that are probably close to you.
"What is important is ability to have that willingness to commit to the fight against corruption. Let's give credit to Mr. President in the war against corruption. We must do our part as well."

The Book of Life
Book 3, All Souls Trilogy - A Novel
Deborah Harkness
This book can be downloaded and read in Apple Books on your Mac or iOS device.
The highly anticipated finale to the #1 New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Discovery of Witches
After traveling through time in Shadow of Night, the second book in Deborah Harkness's enchanting series, historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont return to the present to face new crises and old enemies. At Matthew's ancestral home at Sept-Tours, they reunite with the cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches—with one significant exception. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. In the trilogy's final volume, Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. In ancestral homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to the palaces of Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago.
With more than one million copies sold in the United States and appearing in thirty-eight foreign editions, A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night have landed on all of the major bestseller lists and garnered rave reviews from countless publications. Eagerly awaited by Harkness's legion of fans, The Book of Life brings this superbly written series to a deeply satisfying close.

Customer Reviews
I wanted to love it but...
I wanted to love the book but it just felt too rushed and the climax was so short. Personally I felt the characters that were established in book 1 & 2 were great and carried the story well. The new characters felt forced and unnecessary. Overall, a good ending to book.
Just finished the ARC version and was very pleased with both the pacing and wrap-up to a wonderful, magical trilogy. I wish I could read it again for the first time, and It was well worth the wait!
Tick... Tick...tick
Patiently waiting for this book. I read the first two last summer and have re-read them recently, just to remember some things I know I have forgotten. One month... Can't wait!

TITLE: "PeaceKeeper Discipline, Chapter 4"
AUTHOR: Aiobheann
RATING: NC-17 Violence, harsh language, BDSM, nonconsensual D/s,
some het sex play, pain.
PAIRING: John/Aeryn/D'Argo
SUMMARY: Aeryn gets John's undivided attention... Warning: This story
involves some fairly rough treatment of Aeryn and D'Argo, and a side
of John that may make some readers uncomfortable. If bondage and
non-consensual BDSM squick you, skip this series. In this story,
John and D'Argo are established lovers, but this is not part of my
"Blood Brothers" series" -- no schmoop here.
NOTES: For readers unfamiliar with leather sex, this portrayal of
John may be a little jarring, but I assure you, some of the meanest,
most devastating tops are the ones who are quiet and unassuming in
everyday life -- but once the scene starts, watch out!
FEEDBACK: Yes, please! [email protected]
"Aeryn, I'm sure you'll be familiar with what I'm going to ask you
to do now." John said, reaching up to Aeryn's cuffed wrists and
releasing them. Aeryn stared at him wide-eyed, bringing her arms down
and slowly arching her shoulders, feeling the stretched muscles
protesting. She began to open her mouth to drop the hem of the shirt
she still held clenched in her teeth, and John reached around her hip
to put a sharp slap on one side of her ass. The sound and sting were
muffled by the thick military-style pants she still wore, but it made
her leap up on the balls of her feet in shock, nonetheless.
"I did not give you permission to drop that shirt, Aeryn. Hold it
up." She tightened her teeth on it, standing with her hands at her
sides, eyes following John's every move over the material bunched in
her mouth.
"Stand at attention." John said, and Aeryn immediately straightened
her stance, throwing her shoulders back and stiffening her spine, bare
feet spreading apart to shoulder width. John smiled at her, trailing a
hand down her back and over her side, up under the lifted shirt. She
jerked at the touch of his warm fingers on her bare skin, and he moved
behind her, taking hold of her arms and folding them behind her,
placing each hand at the crook of the opposite elbow. The folded arms
thrust her chest out even farther, and she kept her chin level, face
forward, eyes fixed on the opposite wall.
"That's good, Aeryn. That training of yours might be good for something
after all." He leaned in to put his lips next to her ear, breath tickling
her skin. "Don't move. Stay just like that."
He moved around to stand in front of her, admiring the total effect.
"D'Argo, you should see what she looks like right now." He glanced back
over his shoulder at the Luxan, noting with approval that D'Argo was
still as he had left him, squatting with his feet spread wide and eyes
straight ahead, not looking toward Aeryn or John at the sound of
John's voice. "She looks so beautiful, so proud and eager to please. I
imagined her that way, so many times, but I never thought she could do
it. She's been so good, hasn't she?" No answer, of course, from either
of them.
John brought up the belt, caressing Aeryn's cheek with it as he had
done before, then drawing it down to tease her nipples with it, rubbing
the folded end gently over the pebbled flesh. "Just a little more, Aeryn,
and then you can have your reward for being so good for me, OK?" The belt
drew back and slapped gently at the left nipple. Aeryn gasped, rocking
on her heels. Her mouth opened in shock and John slid one hand into her
hair, pulling her face toward his and making her look at him.
"Don't drop it, Aeryn. You hold your stance and you keep that shirt
in your mouth, understood?"
"Yes, sir." she mumbled around the material, and her eyes squeezed
shut as her words earned her a hard smack on her left nipple, still
smarting from the first blow.
"I didn't give you permission to talk, Aeryn. All I want to hear
out of you -- " Another slap to the right nipple. " -- is this -- " A
slap to the left, followed by a sharp, moaning gasp from Aeryn.
" -- and this." The hand holding the belt slipped between her spread
thighs and pressed hard against her mound, lifting her up on her tip
toes and drawing a smothered wail from her. John pulled his hand away,
and Aeryn stumbled, immediately struggling to regain her balance and
snapping back to attention again.
John smiled, lifting his hand to her face and dragging his knuckles
over her cheek. "You're already wet, Aeryn. I could feel it, even
through your pants. That's good." He leaned forward and kissed her
cheek tenderly, then stepped back and looked at her for a moment. Then
the hand holding the folded belt lifted, and he rained tiny, sharp
slaps over the swells of her breasts. She jerked with every contact of
the leather against her skin, reddened where the belt left its
mark. Methodically, he covered every square inch of skin, until her
breasts were a heated shade of dull pink, the nipples almost red. She
rocked on her heels, moaning softly and continuously, the sound coming
from her only broken by an occasional gasp as the belt licked fire
across her painfully sensitive nipples. Her hands tightened on her
arms where they were clasped behind her back until her knuckles were
bone white, her teeth clenched on the T-shirt in her mouth, muffling
the low keening moans she could not stop herself from making.
It seemed to go on forever, the slaps getting harder, faster, until
she felt as if she were one single bundle of sensation that began and
ended with her breasts. She lost all knowledge of the rest of
her body, of thought, of any life outside this room and what it was
like to not be standing here, tears streaming down her face, in flames
of pain and pleasure.
Suddenly the stinging slaps stopped, and before she could process
the unfamiliar sensation of the pain's absence, John lowered his head
to her breast and took one nipple into his mouth, the wet warmth like
a shock of electricty to her scalded and raw flesh. She cried out around
the T-shirt in her mouth, feeling wetness bloom between her thighs. John
suckled gently on the nipple in his mouth, swirling his tongue around
it, and Aeryn felt herself teetering on the edge of an orgasm. John
seemed to sense it and he dropped the belt, reaching out with one hand to
grasp her hip, thrusting the other hand between her legs and viciously
grinding against her pussy.
He put his face against hers, foreheads touching, and said, "Aeryn.
Look at me."
Shaking, pale, nearly frantic with the need to come, to let go, she
focused on his eyes.
"You drop that shirt now, Aeryn, and come for me. Come for me, scream
it out, Aeryn. Do it. Now."
She opened her mouth, the shirt, its hem dark with sweat and saliva,
dropping away, and threw her head back, wailing hoarsely as her orgasm
overtook her and blotted out the world, exploded it. She rocked
frantically against John's hand, riding it, feeling her juices spilling
out of her and soaking her pants, his hand, lubricating the slide of her
sex against the hard knuckles pressing into her. The last spasms died
away, and she would have fallen if not for John's hand gripping her hip,
steadying and supporting her.
He kissed her gently, savoring the relaxed, warm looseness of her
body in the aftermath of her climax, and lowered her to her knees on
the floor. He squatted in front of her, lifting her chin to meet her
eyes. "You stay just like that, Aeryn. Keep your hands behind your back,
sweetheart. You were soo good for me, you were just wonderful, you know
that? You stay there, and you can watch what I'm going to do with D'Argo,
OK, babygirl?" Aeryn nodded shyly, and smiled a little when he beamed at
her in approval.
John rose to his feet and turned to look at D'Argo. He was still holding
his position, but John caught him looking toward them when he turned
around. He shook his head, walking over to hunker down in front of D'Argo,
eye level with him.
"I'm a little disappointed in you, big guy. I told you, eyes front." He
stood up, pacing around D'Argo in a slow circle, noting the trembles of
exhaustion in the Luxan's legs from holding his uncomfortable pose. "I'm
just going to have to figure out a way to make you understand that I
mean business."

One day at Saatchi Gallery
During my every stay in London I am thirsty of new art galleries and exhibitions. This time I had one day visit at unique place called The Saatchi Gallery located in Chelsea. When you decide to fill your day with cutting edge-contemporary art go straight to this very popular London's spot. The Saatchi Gallery was opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to show his amazing collection to the public. Today is the eighth most visited museum in town. Not only because of its wonderful works but also by lovely atmosphere, great space and friendly staff. It's worth to remember that admission is free to all exhibitions and installations. Currently The Saatchi Gallery provides two interesting themes: PAINTERS' PAINTERS where you can admire works of Richard Aldrich, David Brian Smith, Raffi Kalenderian and many more. The second exhibition is called PRINTS & ORIGINALS GALLERY. It showcases fifty new limited edition prints by fifty emerging artists. So in my opinion everyone will definitely find something interesting for themselves.

Home Improvements can significantly increase the market value of your home, but it is important to understand the ratio of increased home value versus the cost of the improvement. Not all home improvements yield the same results in recovering their cost upon the sale of the property. Kitchen upgrades, followed as a close second by bathroom upgrades generally have the best financial returns. If you visit by website at http://www.maureenmegowan.com/Nav.aspx/Page=/PageManager/Default.aspx/PageID=1584411%20 you can learn how each type of home improvement ranks as far as its return on investment. I also have several before and after pictures of effective home improvements, as well as extensive advice on hiring a contractor for your home improvement project.

Welcome! › Forums › Running Forum › injury issue › Re: Re: injury issue
It's better to be safe than sorry. With your race 2mo away I would think you would give you injury time to heal. The more you push it the greater the chance of major damage. I looked at my log from 2yrs ago when I was getting ready for the Cleveland Marathon and about 2mo before the race I had a hamstring issue. I took off 4 days then came back the next week on a reduced workout. During the 4 days off I used our HS pool for deep water running. The time off and slow return ( about 2 weeks total) allowed me to get back up to pace in what I thought was a reasonable time. At the marathon I ended up qualifing for Boston. The rewards from the time off were well worth it. I hope everything heals and you get back into top form quickly. Ski
