It is unlikely that early forms of man were fully aware of the impact on our world that their simple use of tools from bones, rocks and branches would eventually have. Even so, rock was rock and wood was still wood, no matter what shape they formed it to or what they attached it to make weapons and early knives or cleavers.
There were times however when the nature of wood or rock could change, they would have seen this and most likely have been very alarmed. The fire from the sky may have struck a tree causing it to burn and turn black. They would certainly have found that food they found or killed smelt bad, or didn't taste quite so good after a few days in the sun. They may even have noticed that fruit juices became strangely stimulating to drink and affected them physically.
These changes in the nature of substances that form matter of all kinds forms what we now call Chemistry. These fundamental alterations in the nature and structure of substances are known as chemical changes. Today, we readily make chemical changes that are generally with some benefit in mind. Some, alas, are not.
The first of these "controlled" changes occurred when man developed that ability to start and maintain fires. This was the "discovery of fire" as history labels it. From this point onwards, man would soon find that the texture and taste of food was enhanced by mixing it with fire for certain times, he would find that mud became extremely hard and that food inside mud would have an even different taste and texture to that mixed directly with fire. It would not be long before man was shaping mud and baking it hard to hold food and other items. Eventually, this would lead to ceramics and even primitive forms of glass.
These times are generally grouped into what we call the Stone Age, a time generally thought to be prior to 8000 BC when in the Middle East a revolutionary change was occurring. Man learned to domesticate animals and grow some of the foods they needed and so provide more stable and ample supplies required for the increasing populations. They began to develop permanent dwellings. For the first few thousand years stone was still the dominant tool in this "New Stone Age" or "Neolithic Period". By 4000 BC, this development was spreading out from the Middle East to areas of Western Europe. It was about this time that a significant discovery was made, that of metal.
Early man came to find and use metal but it is almost certain that these early metals would have been shiney nuggets of yellow gold or the red copper. Maybe they would have been in the streams or in a hole dug for another reason. We can however, assume that their rarity prevented any real use until maybe someone discovered that the bluish green rocks he or she has surrounded a fire with the night before had left nuggets of this red malleable material behind. It wouldn't have taken them long to realize that by heating certain types of rock they could obtain these metals. The first evidence of this discovery is thought to have been around 4000 BC, on the Sinai Peninsula, East of Egypt. Copper frying pans have been found in Egyptian tombs that has been dated 3200 BC.
By 2000 BC an alloy of Copper, produced (no doubt by accident at first) from the heating of copper and tin ores together was common enough to be used in weapons and armour. This metal gives its name to the Bronze Age, during which the Trojan Wars occurred.
By 1500 BC the Hittites had discovered how to extract iron from its ores, a process requiring significantly higher temperatures than for copper or tin. Letters from 1280 BC from a Hittite king to his viceroy in an iron rich mountain region, make definite references to iron production. Iron itself is not a strong metal but during production it would pick up carbon from the furnace in enough quantities to form steel, a more malleable and stronger metal that could be formed into stronger armour and sharper blades. So began the Iron Age. By 900 B.C. several empires were building based on the strength of their iron, but even now the Egyptians were already turning their hand to other forms of chemistry. There was a great interest in the preservation of human bodies after death using pigments and juices from the natural world.
According to one theory they word "Chemistry" is derived from the word "khemeia", a derivative of the Greek word "khumos", meaning juice of plant and so khemeia is thought to mean the art of extracting juices, these juices may also refer to extracting liquid metal from rock and so this word can also mean "the art of metallurgy".
By 600 B.C. the Greeks were beginning to concern themselves not only with the technology of the day but where it came from and why some things happened the way they did. They were setting out to develop what we might call, the first chemical theories. The first of these documented, lies with the philosopher Thales (c. 640 – 546 B.C.) who lived in Miletus, a region east of Turkey. What he was asking himself was that if you can transform one substance into another that has no resemblance of the previous substance, what is the true nature of that substance? Is the true nature of the substance what is was in the beginning or what it was at the end? Maybe it was neither, maybe it was both. Moreover, was it possible to change any given substance into some other substance and so, are all substances just a different aspect of one basic material? The obvious answer to us now is a resounding YES, all substance can be converted into some other substances and more importantly, all substances are derived from one basic material.
At this time, the Greek philosophers knew very few pure and basic substances. Of these, Thales believed the basic substance, or element, was water. It may seem strange to think that rock can form from water but, Thales observed that water was present in the greatest amount, it surrounded the land, fell from the sky, permeated rocks and life was impossible without it. It was a logical choice. As with all good philosophy, his ideas were accepted by some, disputed by others and in 570 B.C. Anaximenes of Miletus concluded that the element was in fact air and that towards the center if the universe, then thought to be earth, air was compressed into harder and denser varieties such as water and earth. Heraclitus of Ephesus (c. 540 – 475 B.C.) took a different route and suggested that if change characterized the universe then the ever shifting and ever changing fire must be the element and that its fieriness made change inevitable.
During these times the scientific interest migrated westwards with the Ionians and about 529 B.C. Pythagoras of Samos (c. 582- c.497 B.C.) is thought to have travelled to Italy where his teachings are known to have been very influential. Empedocle of Sicily (c.490 – C.430 B.C.) asked, "Why does there have to be one single element?" and so developed the doctrine of four elements which was accepted by one of the best known of the Greek philosophers, Aristotle (384-322B.C.). Aristotle did not consider the elements as named, rather that they were combinations of opposites, hot and cold, dry and moist and he believed one property could not combine without the other. This he took further by proposing that each element had its own unique set of properties and also proposed a fifth element, ether (meaning "glow") and applied this to the heavenly bodies as they were unchanged. Fifth Element, in Latin is "quinta essentia", it is still used today to mark Aristotelian perfection in the word "quintessence" when we talk of something in its purest and most concentrated form.
During the debate over elements, another major question developed between the Greek Philosophers. They had observed that you could break down a rock into powder but how many times could you continue to make the subdivision. Leucippus of Ionia (c. 450 B.C.) maintained that eventually a piece so small would be obtained that it could no longer be subdivided. Democritus (c. 470 – c.380 B.C.) was a disciple of Leucippus continued to think about this and named the ultimately small particles "atoms" meaning "indivisible". Democritus believed that the atoms of each element were distinct in size and shape and that it was this distinction that made the elements have different properties. Actual substances were mixtures of the atoms of different elements and one substance could be converted to another by changing the nature of the mixture.

I will say this week has been lots of fun, but in the middle of all this spring break fun I've been at work as usual. This has me feeling pretty exhausted. So for next week's theme I've decided on Relax. I thought this might be a good way for me to look for and enjoy the quiet moments in my life. And it might help me make room for a little more peace and quiet. And who couldn't use a little more of that?

This is a fantastic little script if you are looking for a no-nonsense color picker. Couple of minor quibbles: The code generated by the site didn't work despite several attempts. It shows an example so I grabbed working code from the source. It would be nice to be able to extend the number of colors to choose from. Ia am going to try to hack it....but as an option would be better.

Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and almond meal. Some marzipan is flavored with rosewater. Persipan is a similar, yet less expensive product, for which the almonds are replaced by apricot or peach kernels. Many confectionery products sold as marzipan are made from less expensive materials, such as Soy paste and almond essence. We will teach you how to make German marzipan by grinding whole almonds with sugar and partially drying the paste, and French marzipan by combining ground almonds with sugar syrup and Spanish marzipan made without bitter almonds.

Woodworking is something that takes a lot of skill. There are a lot of things you can do to make things you can use from wood. Read on to learn how you can apply woodworking skills to your life. This article is chock full of the best tips in woodworking.
Test stain in an area that will not be seen or on a scrap piece of wood. By doing this, you can prevent unwanted surprises in the event that the stain color turns out differently than you expected. Since wood is often unpredictable, you can avoid unpleasant surprises by completing this test.
Stair gauges may be just the ticket for crosscut guides. With a carpenter's square these can be clamped down to match up the stair jack. After this, you will have to mark each of the notches. You have a great crosscut guide when you put each of them on the carpenter's square together.
Perfect Height
Are you aware that your workbench height is important to your work quality? Your work bench's perfect height can be found by measuring how far it is between the floor and your waist's midline. Your bench will be at the perfect height at this measurement.
When you're working out a budget, you have to think about itemizing the new tools you may have to purchase. It isn't hard to overlook tools when you are concerned about the cost of wood and accessories for your project. If your project does indeed require extra tools you don't have on hand, it can break your budget if you don't plan for them.
Learn about the wood you want to use before you try to stain it. Low quality wood is considered "paint grade" and isn't meant to be stained. Particleboard will take on too much stain, while veneer doesn't take on enough. Getting the right wood helps ensure your project turns out the way you expect.
Know about the different kinds of wood you use, and the characteristics of each. Each type of wood is completely different. Different tree species respond to staining in different ways. The cuts could differ in splintering and effects. There will also be a wide range of grains. These will all factor into your woodworking plans.
Dull Blade
Be certain your blades are sharp before you start sawing. A dull blade will not allow you to finish your project. A dull blade will also cause you to make mistakes and harm the wood that you're working with.
Look around your neighborhood and workplace for sources of free wood. A lot of companies have pallets out back collecting dust, and they will probably give them to you when you have a way to take them. Rather than break down the pallet, though, search the Internet to see what can be done with it.
Read all plans ahead of beginning a project. Be sure you understand them so that you are not missing anything important. If you are having trouble understanding the plans or you are missing bits of information, go to a local home hardware store and ask for help.
You should light your work area well. You need to be able to accurately measure, which requires great visibility. Additionally, you are working around dangerous, sharp tools. The things that are required in woodworking require adequate lighting so that you can see what you are doing and avoid injuries.
There are a few essential hand tools you should purchase before starting your first woodworking project. A hammer is obviously a must-have item. A claw hammer is an excellent woodworking tool. Choose the one that feels good in your hand. You don't want a hammer that is too heavy.
Your shop should be well lit. Whenever you paint, sand or stain, light is essential. You need to see the fine details to make your final pieces look good. Having enough light will also ensure you see the stain well.
As the above article stated, woodworking offers much to a person looking to start an enjoyable hobby, and it could be a hobby that turns into a money-making skill. The above tips can help you get into woodworking and learn more about this great and fun skill.

Learn about Massey University communication courses, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Massey University educational psychology information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Massey University.
To keep your GPA as high as possible, study the schedule of classes carefully, and note the add/drop deadlines, as well as the requirements for changing a grade. If you get an incomplete, or worse a low grade, you can still retake the class, as some schools allow you to average the two grades on your final transcript. Challenge yourself by taking some courses outside your major to fulfill breadth requirements.
By purchasing lecture notes from a reputable source such as the student union, you can save time by not taking notes in class, and concentrate on paying better attention. You also can audit courses that you're interested in, but would prefer to skip exams and just listen in. Beyond consideration for Massey University communication courses, you may think about Eastern Connecticut State University AP classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Steve Fields Steak and Lobster Lounge Ratings and Reviews
I ordered the crab and it tasted sour. The salad was even bad, sent it back because it tasted like raw fish. I did not send the other food back because we were there to celebrate my husband's and I did not want to ruin it for him. He ordered steak and he has had much better at less expense places. We will not return.
Our server (I believe her name was Christina) was absolutely amazing. She suggested everything we didn't even know we wanted. She is a gem. We would come back just for her great service. The food was cooked perfectly and I thoroughly enjoyed the wine recommendations. Thank you for a great night
We had been to Steve Fields on Thanksgiving 2 years ago and enjoyed both the food, service, and ambiance.
We had the choice of the traditional holiday menu or dining from their extensive continental menu of steaks, lobster, seafood etc. Although the thought to try a great steak did cross my mind the prices for those items was " Off The Charts!"
I have a hard time justifying $60.00 for a ribeye steak. I have no idea what the Market Price Lobster was going for.
They did have a dish similar to Lobster Thermidor which I love and hard to find for $35.00 for a Half!!
My wife had a couple vodka martinis @ $10.00 apiece which I feel is rediculas and an overpriced Lobster and Crab appetizer with about 4 teaspoons full for $14.00. I could not taste either the Lobster or the Crab. I have to say the Turkey and fixings we're very good for $25.00 but the salad was Not Include. The waiter seemed to suggest it was but looking at the bill it was not.
Overall I felt is was a good meal sticking to the basics but way overpriced in general.
Service was great.
The waiter was outstanding as usual, but the Thanksgiving dinner left a lot to be desired. That is clearly not a specialty of the restaurant. The turkey white meat cuts were sliced very think and the dark meat was just piled on the plate. The stuffing was horrible with poor flavor and very greasy. It is a great restaurant and I love going there, but no more for a Thanksgiving dinner.
We were a group of 4 for Thanksgiving. The food, service and ambience were great. We all opted to have the plated traditional turkey meal. And we all chose desert. Needless to say we were all stuffed when we left. Truly a great experience. We've eaten at Steve Fields previously and will definitely be back.
Steve Fields is quickly becoming our special occasion "Go To" spot. We first went there for a "Tailgate Party" fundraiser for a charity that is important to us, and were overwhelmed by the food. Steve is a big supporter of that charity, and we applaud him for that. One hint--you have to have the Carrot Cake, but it is big enough for 2 or 3 (or you can take half of it home and enjoy it later)!
Hard to effectively review a restaurant on "crazy" dining days, such as Thanksgiving. However, we did enjoy our luncheon on Thanksgiving day although the pace of the meal seemed quite rushed. Our server was OK, but far from the service we are used to when dining at Steve Fields. We look forward to returning for a quiet, relaxing evening of good food, wine and better service.
Venerable Steve Fields still maintains a good neighborhood feel, while providing a little bit of city feel in Plano. Lounge is still very active from beginning of dinner service to late night, with a live piano/lounge singer that provides fun, adult entertainment. Main dining room shares in some of the live lounge music, depending on location.
As expected after many years dining here, the service was prompt and friendly - based on our desire. crab cake appetizer was spot-on - especially with a chardonnay and martini starter from the bar. soup (crab corn chowder) and spinach salad also hit the mark. peppercorn filet and aussie lobster tail were properly executed and sided with wonderful sauteed broccoli (thanks for that off-menu request); Jeff provided a good option for a bottle of pinot for the disparate mains. caramel chocolate cake puts the butter in butter-cream, and allows seconds on another day.
thanks lyft for the ride over and home. thanks Steve, Jeff and Jason for another great meal and time
From the moment I entered the restaurant to then last bite of my delicious Bone-in Prime Steak, everything about this restaurant was simply amazing! My waiter was on fire with awesome service, the manager came over to ensure my experience was pleasant, and l just loved being able to have a quite dinner to myself without interruption or chaos. Even though I was dining alone, the ambiance and staff made me feel warm and comfortable.
I also had the spinach salad...delicious...and a smooth glass of Merlot to compliment the meal. Let me just say 'thank you' to the chef as well for my perfectly cooked steak...l look forward to my next visit!
The meal was quite good overall. We started with a crab cake and shrimp cocktail and both were tasty. I enjoyed a beefsteak tomato salad for my second course. The server failed to get me silverware before the salad was served, and she failed to see she hadn't set me any silver. I took advantage of a "6&6", six ounce filet and six ounce Australian lobster tail. The flavor of both was good, but not great. My wife enjoyed her salmon that was on the menu. This restaurant is a classic steakhouse, but not as polished as some higher end houses.

Radiographers assist the physician, particularly the radiologist, in using ionizing radiation (x-rays) in diagnosis of diseases and malfunctions of the human body. The radiographer operates radiologic (x-ray) equipment under the general direction of a physician to accurately demonstrate anatomical structures on the radiograph by applying knowledge of anatomy, positioning, and radiographic technique. Radiographers are also trained to perform these duties at the patients bedside and in the operating room.
The Radiography program is a six (6) semester program. All semesters consist of classroom lecture and supervised clinical experience. The program's extensive clinical experiences require the time commitment of a full-time student.
Successful completion of the program leads to an Associate of Science Degree and eligibility to take the national certification examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

Richmond VA Dec 22 2016 An inmate at the Richmond City Justice Center died Tuesday morning in the infirmary bathroom.
Trevino L. Mitchell was found unresponsive in a private bathroom in the jail's infirmary at 10:50 a.m. Tuesday, according to a statement from the jail. Mitchell was earlier seen "walking upright" to the bathroom "with no visible signs of physical distress," jail officials said. Sometime later, a deputy found Mitchell on the toilet.
Mitchell is the sixth inmate to die at the Richmond City jail this year.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office, which oversees the jail, and Richmond Police Department are conducting a joint investigation. They are currently waiting for a preliminary autopsy and toxicology report from the Office of the Medical Examiner in order to determine the exact cause of death.
Mitchell was jailed on Dec. 13 without bond on two felony charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
Lawsuits against jails, sheriffs and state hospitals have cost taxpayers more than $38.6 million.

MunitiAlgorithm: Other
What is Muniti?
We are pleased to announce the promulgation of a novel alternative cryptocurrency called Muniti. Over the past few weeks, the altcoin community has been riddled with coins proclaiming themselves as national cryptocurrencies seeking to "break the shackles" and revolutionalise their country thanks to their cryptocurrency. Muniti is also a national cryptocurrency, but with one huge difference. It is centred at molding perfectly with the current system in place and with the sole purpose of promoting and emancipating the country which it will represent.
Muniti will be the cryptocurrency of Malta, a small island situated in Southern Europe and which is a fully-fledged member of the EU. Known for its marvellous climate, crystal-clear beaches and historic past, Malta is a very popular destination with tourists, especially from the UK and Italy. Lately, more and more tourists are visting from non-EU countries, such as the USA, Canada and China, but the main barrier is and will remain there – exchanging one's own currency. The integration of the Euro has increased Malta's influx of tourists from the EU, but this change was not as pronounced when it came to non-EU citizens. This is a huge pity as Malta is also a popular hub for people seeking to learn and improve on their English in our dedicated English-teaching schools, as the English language is a national language in Malta along with Maltese.
- Name: Muniti
- Abbreviation: MUN
- Algo: X11
- Block reward: 39 coins per block, reducing 1% every two weeks with compound
- Block generation: 1.5 minutes
- Difficulty retarget: Kimoto Gravity Well (KGW)
- 76000000 total coins to be issued
- Coins reserved for premine: 32%
- D2D method of distribution (door-to-door)

A/N: So it has been a while! But secretstranger69 made a request and I couldn't refuse so this story is for you! I hope you enjoy it! The song is Drive by Melissa Ferrick the song lyrics are in bold italics and trust me you have to listen to this song because it will only turn you on and you will thank me later if you put the song on repeat and listen as you read this story. Just a suggestion! I hope you love all of the smutty goodness! Here is the link to the song..
"Please…"The shudder came out from kiss swollen lips.
"What was that?" The older of the two asked.
"Please…dear Merlin please!" A smirk coming from the older woman, she loved when the other woman begged.
As nimble fingers touched sensitive flesh the other woman's fingers trembled, a head was thrown back and the back was arched. Holding on with a hand keeping the woman in place Minerva allowed her fingers and mouth to work just like the younger woman asked, the screams and moans breaking from the pouty lips caused a stirring down in Minerva but she fought it off. She wasn't done teasing, stretching the woman's legs further apart she allowed hips to rise up and press into her mouth.
The screaming broke out from the lips only brought another smirk from Minerva, that was the third orgasm of the night and she still had four hours left to go. She was going to rock the young woman's night and by that she means all night, she promised it and was going to stick to that promise. And did she when the alarm clock blared the final orgasm broke out, allowing the woman time to come down and relax she removed her hands and began to get ready.
Minerva entered her bathroom and began to wash up a grin placed permanently on her face; she counted a total of ten orgasms for the whole six hours they were together three of them were back to back. To say Minerva was sure of herself was an understatement, as she got of the shower and walked into her bedroom she saw that her companion was gone and in her place was a note.
I am sorry for leaving but I have a class in an hour, and I didn't want to get into the shower and end up being late for my class. Thank you, for the night it was…amazing. See you later on today.
H xo
Later That Same Day…
Minerva sat in her office she was watching the time go by, her open office hours were almost up and she couldn't wait. As she finished her paperwork she began to pop any area of her body that would, sitting for long hours was stiff work. Checking the time again she had two hours left, and they could not go quick enough. Soon she turned towards the door as it opened to reveal the woman she had been up with all night, instantly she felt her mouth water. Hermione's hips swayed effortlessly, her robes clung in all of the right places.
Hermione rounded the desk and pushed Minerva's chair around so she was facing her, without hesitation Hermione undid her robe revealing a skin clinging little black dress. Her curves showed and the dress was so short that all Hermione had to do was bend over and she would be on full display, soon Minerva broke out of her reverie as Hermione hoped on top of the desk.
"I am going to do something for you." Hermione whispered into her ears, instantly Minerva perked up more. A flick of Hermione's wand caused a radio to appear, Hermione pushed the play button and the song began to play.
If you want this if you want this if you want this, you're gonna have to ask nicely please yeah if you want this you're gonna have to ask me you're gonna have to ask me
Whatever you want I'll give it to you I'll give it to you slowly 'till you're just begging me to hold you ya whatever you want whatever you want but you're gonna have to ask me
Minerva stared as Hermione stood up on her desk and began to move her hips and move in ways only Minerva had dreamed of, the dress road up further and further revealing black lace panties. Licking her lips Minerva forgot all about it being her office hours, all she wanted in that moment was to taste the woman who was dancing on her desk.
Your mouth waters stretched out on my bed your fingers are trembling and your heart is heavy and red and your head is bent back and your back is arched my hand is under there holding you up
I'll hold you up and drive you all night I'll hold you up and drive you baby 'till you feel the daylight I'll hold you up and drive you all night I'll hold you up and drive you 'till you feel the daylight that's right that's right
As Minerva listened to those lyrics she remembered what they had done only six hours ago, and Minerva couldn't contain herself as her hands began to grip her chair. Hermione saw this and began to slowly unzip the dress, the whole time moving her body causing Minerva to grip harder. The dress slowly slipped down Hermione's body; slowly it revealed the black, lace set that clung to her now sweat covered body.
The dress hit the desk, where Hermione stepped away from it and kicked it away. Turning around slowly Minerva swore Hermione was moving as if she belonged on a pole, not knowing where the young woman learned to dance like that she didn't care. All she wanted was the woman on her screaming out her name, as the next part of the song came on Hermione brought Minerva towards her and whispered the lyrics in her ear.
In the kitchen in the shower and in the back seat of my car I'll hold you up in your office preferably during business hours 'cause you know how I like it when there's people around and I know how you like it yeah I know how you like it I know how you like it when I tease you for hours
Shuddering Minerva swore she could of cum screaming right there, she felt thighs on both sides of hers. She felt the movement of Hermione's hips, lace pantie clad hips rubbed against her covered hips. She was dripping with want and Hermione wasn't done teasing, Minerva prayed to Merlin nobody walked in it would be difficult to explain how two female professors were having sex in her office during office hours. But she had to admit the thought that someone could walk in turned her on more.
Your mouth waters stretched out on my bed your fingers are trembling and your heart is heavy and red and your head is bent back and your back is arched and my hand is under there holding you up
I'll hold you up and drive you all night I'll hold you up and drive you baby 'till you feel the daylight I'll hold you up and drive you all night I'll hold you up and drive you 'till you feel the daylight oh and this has just begun
She felt her robes being removed and didn't fight it, she just let her head fall back and her eyes close. The lips on her neck and fingers touching her body sent tremors down her body; soon she felt something tying against her wrists. Opening her eyes quickly she noticed Hermione had tied her wrists to the chair, a smirk now on Hermione's face. Gulping Minerva didn't know what games Hermione was playing but she was more than willing to play.
Hermione's mouth and hands teased her breasts causing more panting and moaning and more thoughts to leave Minerva. As Minerva got used to feeling hands on her breasts she instantly stiffened as one of Hermione's hands slipped down to where she was dripping, biting her lip Minerva tried to fight not screaming out. She felt Hermione beginning to tease her, focusing on the music playing Minerva calmed herself down enough not to cum so soon.
Yeah this has just begun because we haven't even gotten started yet I haven't even I haven't even tied you up I haven't even turned you over this is where I want to live right here between your hips where all the love you hold and hide it's where it lives right here between your hips this is where I want to live it's where all the love you give exists
Before Minerva could say anything she felt herself hitting a bed, opening her eyes she took in her surroundings. Chuckling she noticed that Hermione had moved them from the office; before she could speak Hermione was on top of her claiming her mouth possessively.
"Merlin…please…"Minerva began to beg as Hermione's fingers kept teasing her down below.
"I'm sorry, Love. But you aren't begging enough for my tastes." The lust filled voice caused Minerva to become wetter, she didn't know that was possible but Hermione seemed to make the impossible become possible.
"Please…I beg you…please…" She became more persistent as the teasing kept up, just as Minerva was about to beg for more she felt two fingers drive deep inside her. Shaking from the feeling Minerva lost her words and could only vocalize with sounds what she was feelings, Hermione fingers deep inside her and her mouth teasing her were causing her body to burn up.
Your mouth waters stretched out on my bed your fingers are trembling and your heart is heavy and red your head is bent back your back is arched my hand is under there holding you up
As Hermione kept going Minerva began to pick up what Hermione was doing to her what she had done not eight hours ago, shuddering she almost chuckled remembering how good of a student Hermione had been. Always learning and at this moment Minerva thanked whatever being was out there that Hermione paid attention to everything. But she wasn't able to finished her thought as she felt Hermione stop and spread her legs further, she felt a hand slip down to her lower back and the other take ahold of her hair and bend her head back.
Soon she felt Hermione's naked hips grinding against hers; she could feel how wet Hermione was as they touched skin to skin. Afterwards, Minerva would tell you that this was the best sex she had ever had. Wrapping her arms around the smaller woman she began to move her hips against hers, her back arched further and further off the bed. Both women were surprised that Hermione was able to keep hold of the position, but ultimately the surprise left because Minerva knew Hermione was strong.
I'll hold you up and drive you all night I'll hold you up and drive you baby 'till you feel the daylight I'll hold you up and drive you all night I'll hold you up and drive you baby ''till you feel the daylight
Spasms rocked both of their bodies as they sped up their movements Minerva was becoming a moaning mess as she began to scream her release repeatedly.
"Oh…Merlin…yes…there…right there…"Minerva practically screamed as Hermione kept hitting the same spot over and over again, sweat glistened on both of them. Scratches began to reveal themselves on Hermione's back but she kept going, knowing Minerva was close Hermione bent Minerva's back more and angled her hips so she pressed more to her.
Minerva's head thrown itself back even further, as her hips kept thrusting towards Hermione's she lost count of how many times she had cum. She had lost track of time, she had forgotten the fact that she was being so vocal that someone walking passed her personal chambers that they could hear her screaming. It didn't matter; Hermione was doing all of the right things pressing all the right places she didn't give a damn any more.
Pillows were thrown to the floor, blankets and bed sheets with them. She was spread out on her bed with Hermione driving her further and further over the edge again and again, she felt it. She felt the heat welling up, she could feel Hermione's movements becoming more frenzied and she knew the younger woman was going to release with her.
That's right yeah that's right that's right that's right I'll hold you up that's right that's right I'll drive you all night
Hermione's hips grinded down with one final thrust that caused Minerva to scream out arching up further, Hermione screamed out as she felt Minerva arch up into her. Minerva fell onto the bed in a shuddering heap; her body continued twitching as after tremors rippled her body. Hermione was on top of her trying to catch her breath, the air smelled of sweat and sex that continued to send shivers down them. Once Hermione caught her breath she rolled off of Minerva but the two turned towards each other and held the other, when Minerva finally caught her breath she began to speak.
"You know that song said something about in the kitchen, the backseat of a car and the shower. I think that means we aren't done just yet." The sly smile on the older woman's mouth caused Hermione to shiver, the two met in a frenzied kiss. They were far from done; the two women got up and on wobbly feet went towards the bathroom. It had just begun, they were far from done.

I finally got around today to making my Christmas cards. I had to keep them really simple. I cased these cards from HERE. The only thing I did differently was to add Dazzling Diamonds.
Now I just need to take them to the post office, finish wrapping gifts, go grocery shopping, start baking for Christmas.......and the list goes on.
Thanks for looking,

Chobe News
A new safari lodge successfully blends conservation and commerce while empowering the local community in a key wildlife area.
High average occupancies in the first year of operation of Ngoma Safari Lodge have been taken as a signal of the success of the strategy which created this joint venture initiative. Ngoma is the result of a partnership between the Chobe Enclave Conservation Trust and Ngoma Lodge PTY (Ltd), and was facilitated by the African Wildlife Foundation.
Walking onto the terrace of Ngoma Safari Lodge, guests' eyes gaze across a magnificent vista where kudu, buffalo, sable and roan antelope graze along the banks of the Chobe River. In this isolated part of rural Botswana bordering Chobe National Park, conservationists sat down with community leaders to design a future which would see both wildlife and people as winners.
Chobe Enclave Conservation Trust a community-based organisation which was established to oversee the development and sustainable management of the local communities' rich and varied ecosystem. The site for Ngoma was identified to establish a high-end facility to offer an exclusive and unforgettable experience in Africa's wilderness - as a strategy to preserve the area's abundant wildlife through income generation.
Since its opening in May 2011, by Botswana President Lieutenant General Seretse Khama Ian Khama , Ngoma has enjoyed an average occupancy of 60%, a statistic the Trust could not have realised alone, and one which has proven the successful balance of development and conservation. Meanwhile, the wildlife corridor between Chobe National Park, home to the largest population of elephants in Africa, and the semi-protected areas surrounding Chobe Enclave are now also being protected.
AWF continues to support the Trust post development of Ngoma Safari Lodge by providing business training and capacity building for community members in order to ensure long-term sustainability in handling such agreements. In this way, AWF is supporting CECT to realise the benefits from commercially viable conservation enterprises, as well as to develop potential strategies to leverage the land for conservation rather than convert the land for other, often unsustainable, uses.
While Ngoma Safari Lodge offers tourists beautiful vistas, spectacular game viewing, and a wide range of activities, the Chobe Enclave is receiving the benefits needed through this conservation enterprise to build a sustainable future for its communities.

Tony Soprano is a Wild Thing
This week my brother-in-law shared an awesome video with me via Facebook. As most of you probably know, James Gandolfini did one of the voices in Spike Jonze's 2009 flick WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.
Well without giving away too much of this video (if you haven't seen it yet), someone envisioned Tony Soprano in one of those costumes and put together an interesting video.
I'd like to give a shout out to the creator Hugh Atkin on an awesome idea and a very funny edit / clip.
Here's the video from YouTube:

4 Important Thoughts on Direct Mail Marketing
Regardless of the use of social media and online marketing, direct mail remains a favorite of many business owners. Why? Because it is a straight forward way of measuring response and return on investment. With a good tracking method, you will know just how effective your campaign is. If the result is poor, you will know how to make the necessary changes. This will help you make your campaign as effective as possible.
All is well, right? Not really. There are important factors in direct mail that you need to know to ensure that your campaign will be effective and successful. Aside from making sure the direct mail pieces are attractive and preferably printed by a reputable printing company, there are other important things you need to consider. These are the following:
1- Mailing list. In order for a direct mail campaign to be effective you need to get it into the hands of the right people. This will require you to have a good mailing list. If you already have a mailing list, you need to constantly update it. Remove duplicate contacts, those who haven't responded to any of your campaign, and those that have changed address. Make sure the names that are in the list are those that are active so you are sure to get good response from every campaign. If you don't have a list yet, you can organize it yourself or rent one from a reputable list broker. Make sure the list is appropriate to your target market so you can send your materials to the right audience.
2- Consider the postal regulations. If you want to design oversized direct mail materials or include embellishments on them, make sure the postal office will accept your material. It's important that you are familiar with the regulations so you don't waste your money on unacceptable materials. Your designer or printer can help you design the perfect material acceptable by the post office. Talk to them so you know how to best design your direct mail pieces.
3- The use of eco-friendly materials. A lot of talks about direct mail and its impact on the environment these days. Some marketers advocate the use of the computer to reduce the use of paper. But this doesn't mean that you have to completely forget about direct mail. There are ways you can do that will help you reduce environmental impact. For instance, you can use recycled paper. A lot of printing shops today offer this kind of paper. If you are printing online, ask the printer of they offer such kind of paper. You can also use vegetable-based ink to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals in the environment. If you can find a printer that support eco-friendly printing, all the better.
4- One card one message rule. Direct mail materials are meant for easy reading. If you put a lot of ideas and messages on them, people will only get lost in the translation. It's best if you follow the one card one message rule. If you have several ideas to communicate, better put them in several materials.
Focus on the quality of your direct mail materials and you are sure to take advantage of the wonders of this campaign. Direct mail may seem an easy and simple strategy, but if done well it will bring your business to greater heights.

What is fiscal sponsorship and why should I care?
Today we are launching a series of posts to help readers better understand the sometimes arcane field of fiscal sponsorship. It is addressed to those new to this concept. We are assuming the reader knows nothing, so our apologies to those who already know a lot. We plan to also use this space to invite others to contribute posts of interest to the field, to share information that is relevant to the practice of fiscal sponsorship, and to highlight the important work of our fiscally sponsored projects.
Where to begin: what is the nonprofit sector? What is a nonprofit organization? What is fiscal sponsorship and why should I care?
What is the nonprofit sector and where did it come from?
In the United States, the government has long recognized the important role played by associations organized to do good for the general public, as opposed to those making a profit or carrying out the business of government. The nonprofit sector is sometimes called the third sector, the independent sector, or the voluntary sector to distinguish it from business and government.
There is a long tradition in this country of helping one's neighbors, from the first attempts to colonize America to the barn raisings that accompanied its Westward expansion. Government recognition of not-for-profit activities is enshrined in the tax code; around 25 categories of activity are exempt from paying taxes. The most important of these is the single category that also grants the donors to those organizations a tax deduction for their charitable contribution. This is the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. There are currently around 1.6 million 501(c)(3) organizations in the U.S. They make up more than five percent of the country's gross national product.
Recent decades have seen enormous growth in the number of 501(c)(3) start-ups. Not only is this the only organizational type that can give its donors a tax deduction, but also, most private foundations require that grant recipients have 501(c)(3) status in order to receive a grant. This is where fiscal sponsorship becomes important. It is a faster, cheaper mechanism to achieve nonprofit status than the alternative of starting your own 501(c)(3) organization. There are also a number of situations where it would never be appropriate to start your own organization—projects of limited duration, for example—that are ideal candidates for fiscal sponsorship. Continue to read our Friday posts to find out more about the benefits of fiscal sponsorship.

Original version published on whoknowsoneblog.wordpress.com.
Is there something that faith brings to our society that we would lack if we lived in a world without religion?
To the person who has perfect belief in God or a specific religion, this question seems silly. In their minds, of course the presence of their specific religion is of utmost importance. But for non-religious people and those with a tinge of doubt, it's only natural to wonder, if we assume that God doesn't exist, is religion still important?When people claim that religion is obsolete they are failing to understand its true nature. Religious rituals and scripture aren't simply pseudo-scientific hypotheses that have been debunked. Many religious people understand that the literal events described in their respective scriptures are more myth than fact. Furthermore, many religious people recognize that the reason for specific rituals isn't some immature hope that God will repay them. In actuality, there's a deep beauty involved in religion that reaches beyond a simple-minded, binary notion of true or false.
Religion offers a unique framework for the individual and community alike. This framework allows for an endless amount of discussion, creativity, and productive discourse.
In response to a comment by Richard Dawkins when he stated that religion is a pre-scientific or pseudo-scientific view of the world, Terry Eagleton wrote that Dawkins is "like someone who thinks that a novel is a botched piece of sociology, and therefore can't see the point at all."
Just like there's much wisdom and truth to gain from fiction, even though no one would claim that these books are factually correct, there's much to learn from religion in the same manner.
Society needs religion to survive. Now, by religion I don't mean specific religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, or Confucianism, but rather the religious process. Religion allows for a crucial area of human progress that science or empiricism stymies. In a religious setting, ideas can be judged by their pure beauty and positive effect on the world, rather than for their factual correctness. Ideas that people feel strongly about but have little way of empirically validating can be given a voice in religion. Broad emotional concepts like happiness, fear, sadness, and anger are explored in religious traditions.
In this light, we can view religion as a type of poetry – or better yet we can view poetry as a type of religion. A poet uses a wide array of literary devices, fictional settings, and purposeful ambiguity, not only to invoke an emotional response in readers but to discuss certain truths or aspects of our existence that are untouchable in any other realm.
As a graduate student studying religion, the beauty I see in religion is so deep that it's difficult to contain my feelings for it in a mere article. But that's exactly my point. Just like art, music, and poetry are inexplicable by pure reason, I too cannot fully explain the beauty of religion in a rational manner. Just as a deaf man will never fully understand music, a blind man art, or an illiterate man poetry, one who has never fully enveloped him or herself in a moment of religious devotion can never truly understand it's importance and value – with or without God.
Daniel Levine is currently a graduate student studying religion at UCLA. Last spring he graduated UCLA with a dual degree in Cognitive Science and Jewish History. Alongside his undergraduate studies, he also studied for, and will soon receive, Rabbinical Ordination from YPS. His interests include religious history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.

more Rich columns
A friend and I were just talking about this. Talking about how so many people want to write a book.
He explained that he had a secret longing to write a biography on a little known engineer. Additionally, I had just gotten another daily e-mail asking for advice on getting published.
Earlier, I had been lunching with friends when someone came over, introduced himself and inquired for advice on how to get his novel published.
"I never realized that so many people wanted to write books," Mary Frances remarked. "When I'm with you, everywhere we go people want advice."
"Well, I've never had the slightest inclination to write a book," Penelope Ann mused as she buttered a roll. "Never crossed my mind."
"That's because you have never read a book," I replied, raising an eyebrow.
Penelope Ann stopped buttering and pinched her pink glossed lips into a pout. "That's not true."
"Cliff notes don't count." I remarked.
She raised her chin imperially. "I have read two," she emphatically tossed two fingers at me. "Both Nancy Drew books." She waved a hand airily. "One had something to do with a staircase."
Later, when Charlie mentioned how he would one day like to write on that unknown engineer, we sauntered into a lazy conversation over how many people long to write books.
"Everyone does have a book in them," I commented, "Everyone. It's finding the story and putting it on paper."
I firmly believe that.
After all, if a memoir like "Angela's Ashes," which recounted a dreary Irish childhood, can become a best-seller, everyone's got a shot. If the prose is lyrical enough, that is. It's not always in what you have to write, it's how you write it.
In the event you're one of the hundreds who have sought or will seek my advice on this subject, I'm happy to share what little I know. First, get an agent. Without one, a publisher won't talk to you.
Now, how do you do that?
Begin with lots of research. Know thy poison and how it worketh. I always recommend a book called Guide to Literary Agents. This little jewel of a book details agents and what kind of properties they represent.
Make a list of suitable agents. Write a good query letter pitching why your project is marketable - research why people will buy it - and then mail it off to the prospective agents.
Finally, don't ask me to read your manuscript. I am the worse judge of talent possible. More than likely, I'll do you more harm than good.
Here's my best advice, though. Pray. Hard. Without ceasing.
And be sure to pay the preacher well.

Winter in Central Park
Central Park is particularly beautiful with a fresh layer of snow frosting the benches and carpeting the ground. There's a special hush in the air, and something magical in the Park's glinting whiteness.
Speaking practically, though, snow also requires a great deal of extra work for Central Park Conservancy staff as we work to keep the Park safe and accessible.
Click to jump ahead to a new section
Winter Fun
Snow Management and Removal
Here are some tips to enjoy Central Park safely in the wintertime:
- Before coming to Central Park during a snowstorm or blizzard, check our Twitter page for updates about the Park's status. You can also follow NYC Parks and the NYC Office of Emergency Management for updates about Citywide closures.
- Never go out on the ice of ANY Central Park water body, and don't let your dog go out either! Falling into frigid water can cause life-threatening hypothermia within minutes. Please leave the red ice ladders in place, as these should only be handled by emergency personnel. If you see someone in danger on, in, or near a Central Park water body, call 911.
- Some Central Park restrooms are closed during the winter season. These include the facilities at Merchants' Gate (West 61st Street), Bethesda Terrace, the Great Hill, and Robert Bendheim Playground. Some restrooms are maintained by other organizations, and may be closed due to snowfall without notice. These include the facilities at the Arsenal, Le Pain Quotidien (Mineral Springs), Tavern on the Green, the Kerbs Boathouse at Conservatory Water, the Loeb Boathouse, and the Tennis House.
Winter Fun
There's nothing better than enjoying Central Park on a beautiful winter day. Follow these links to learn more about winter activities such as sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in Central Park. You can also enjoy ice skating at Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink.
Snow Management and Removal
After a major snowfall, clearing the perimeter, paths, and entrances for safe pedestrian access is our first priority. We accomplish the major task of clearing 58 miles of paths using a wide array of snow-removal equipment, and with the hard work of our dedicated Central Park Conservancy operations staff.
Our arsenal of snow removal equipment includes:
- 24 walk-behind snow throwers
- 18 truck-mount plows
- 13 walk-behind brushes
- 8 hand-held paddle brooms
- 6 bucket loaders
There are some areas in the Park that we don't plow. For example, we don't plow the bridle path and the Reservoir track, because doing so would damage the surface beneath the snow, as well as our equipment.
In 2015 the Central Park Conservancy began taking the official New York City snow measurements in Central Park for the National Weather Service. Although the Conservancy takes the measurements, the National Weather Service is responsible for totaling, recording, maintaining, and sharing all snowfall data for Central Park. According to the NWS, snowfall reports for Central Park provide one of the longest continuous sets of weather data in the country, dating back to 1869.

Throughout the Park
