So last night, I downloaded Kid Cudi's new album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day (and actually waited for the real release date…see, I'm getting better…baby steps though). This post is in no way, shape, form or fashion represents any type of album review, as I haven't given it the obligatory three attempts necessary to really get a feel for a hip-hop album. Knowing in advance from reading reviews on the album, I got in the proper frame of mind, so to speak, that you need to be in to listen to most music from Cudi and proceeded to listen. I'm feeling some kind of way. Granted, it took me about a month to warm up to Kanye's 808s & Heartbreaks and I still am not completely sold on the rap-Phil-Collins thing…it just had several undeniably good tracks and rock-solid production quality, as is to be expected. Like 808s, I at least expected to hear at least one song where Cudi just raps…not so much. Cudi is clearly channeling Pink Floyd on a lot of the tracks, which I'm not mad at because I love Floyd, but yo…Cudi's not Floyd. To be fair, I'll give it a few more listens and give you a final verdict on it at some point.
Listening to this album made me think of how people tend ot automatically give people props just for doing "something different"…like giving School of Fine Arts students fashion cred for wearing aubergine, Cal-Trans orange, hot pink, and Nickelodeon-slime-green in the same outfit just for wearing something no one else would…sometimes there's a reason for that. Now don't get me wrong, there are definitely cases where people do something different and it turns out to be fresh. In many cases, though, when you get the feeling that someone deliberately thought "oh, nobody's doing this, son" before they do it, it comes out lame. Any you can think of? Post it in the comments section.
Different = Good
Bilal – As I've said before, if you've never seen Bilal live, get your life together. I've seen him twice and think homeboy's a genius…one of many reasons it would be rare for me to ever pay to see a rapper live. The man's band is kickin' and his onstage antics almost make you think he's having a seizure, but what's a live show without energy and originality?
Ol' Dirty Bastard – The video for "Brooklyn Zoo" disturbed me at first (the last place it seems you'd want to be is in that hallway…dude was on one, not to mention Method Man lurking in the background looking like he'd eat your firstborn), but now it's one of my favorite songs of all time. Definitely top 20. The late great ODB took strange to a whole other inebriated level. Method Man once explained ODB's name best: "bastard" as in "he had no father to his style". Nobody was like him before and no one has tried since. Oh and nothing says crazy like a pair of shades with one lens out.
Andre 3000 – Even back in the ATLiens days when you saw him in the Foot Locker referee shirt and his grandmama's silk church-turban (you know, for when the wig was too itchy to wear on Sunday), Andre Benjamin has been on some other. Long before Kanye was pseudo-crooning, Andre dropped The Love Below on that a** and changed the game up. I don't recall anybody (successfully) switching up their style that drastically.
Holly Weerd – A kinda trip-hop band from ATL that I could only find one song for, but that song ("Weerdo") is dope.
Grace Jones – Stran-jay! People didn't know what to do with themselves when Grace Jones showed up in Boomerang (or in Conan or in that Bond movie) looking like a gender-bending dominatrix, but Grace was on her own planet and you really couldn't tell her sh*t…and wouldn't risk it.
Christopher Walken – His little monologue in Pulp Fiction about the watch was enough to convince me that Christopher Walken might be a biscuit short of a snackbox.
Different = Yeah, Not So Much
Bjork – Sorry, I just do not get it…
Pink's flying trapeze performance at the MTV VMAs – Just because nobody else has done it doesn't mean it's a good idea for you to do it. And the one-breast-out outfit? Yeah, that's been done and much better (Li'l Kim). The girl can sing, but singing while swinging off of a trapeze isn't conducive to a good performance. The VMAs were enough of a circus as it was.
Anything Li'l Mama has ever worn to anything – What, I'm wrong? Look to the right. Yes, that's a pacifier. Voice of the young people or voice of the wardrobe-impaired? No further explanation needed.
Dennis Rodman – This was just unnecessary wierd but thank God, a wierd we haven't had to look at in the pas ten years. It was always like "could you please jsut play ball? Please?"
90% of the entire inventory at any Urban Outfitters – Way to re-produce and distribute a 40-year-old cotton T-shirt and sell it for $28, awesome. And the pounds and pounds of useless crap marketed toward college students who think they're being original not knowing there's 8 million dorm rooms decorated the exacct same way? More awesome. Can't knock the hustle but buying cool, unique stuff from a chain store immediately makes it not unique and not particularly cool at all.

Nextdoor Hits 10K Neighborhoods, Gets Me To Stop Running At Night
After I had been running at night for more than a decade, a relatively under-the-radar startup called Nextdoor got me to start running during the day. Almost nobody likes to exercise, and for many, overcoming the motivational hump of putting on your shoes and gym clothes can be trying on even the best of days. One evening late in January I had finally overcome this initial barrier to entry, and was just about to stop blogging to do my usual 30-minute nightly sprint when I got the email. "Woman robbed at gunpoint in Dogpatch, San Francisco" the subject line screamed. Unlike many of the emails I constantly receive, this was highly relevant to me, especially because, upon further inspection, the robbery had happened one block from my house. Until this email, I hadn't given too much thought to Nextdoor , a service that I signed up for at the Allen Co conference last summer, where co-founder Nirav Tolia had given a talk about the local social network. The company started out as Fanbase in 2009, and was an attempt to create a user-generated content version of ESPN. Founders Tolia and Sarah Leary decided to pivot around May of 2010, and spent the next four to five months testing out different ideas. Fanbase officially pivoted to Nextdoor in September of 2010, starting out its pilot in Lorelei, a neighborhood in...Read More

When you die, do you want to be buried, cremated, frozen and vibrated into dust, or liquified? If you want to do the latter you need... The Resomator!
It sounds like a Roger Corman movie, but this machine is real and better than cremation.
The Resomator is a steel chamber that gets filled with a) a human body and b) a solution of water and potassium hydroxide. The chamber increases the pressure to ten atmospheres, pushing the temperature up to 356F (180C) for "between two-and-half and three hours." I guess that depends on the size of the body or how you like the meat.
The process—which is called alkaline hydrolysis—dissolves all the body tissue except the bones, separating the liquid from the solid remains. The solid remains then get and put into something called... The Cremulator!—this crushes the bones into ash.

Pre Budget Submission INOU
28 Sep 2016
To read the full submission visit: http://www.inou.ie/download/pdf/inou_pbs_2017.pdf
INOU Pre-Budget Submission
Today the Irish National Organisation of the Unemployed is publishing its full Pre-Budget Submission and notes that when launching the Programme for Government, the Government stated that "at its core is a simple objective: to make people's lives better in every part of Ireland". To achieve this, the Government said that:
- "We want a fair society based on a strong economy
- We want thriving communities in urban and rural Ireland
- We want an Ireland that looks after its people from the time they come into the world to the time they leave
- We want an Ireland where everybody is given the opportunity to succeed, where nobody is left behind
- We want people to have the peace of mind that comes from feeling safe and secure in their lives" (p10)
The ambition expressed in this quote is to be welcomed. The INOU now urges the Government to ensure that Budget 2017 plays its part in securing a better future for people who are unemployed; who are living with a disability; who are parenting alone; who are living in communities that rarely experience economic growth; communities that are living on the margins of Irish society; people who are facing discrimination because, for example, of their age, their ethnicity.
The theme of this year's National Economic Dialogue was 'Growth towards a Just Society', to realise such a society, it will be essential for Government to deliver on "the process of budget and policy proofing as a means of advancing equality, reducing poverty and strengthening economic and social rights. We will also develop a new Integrated Framework for Social Inclusion, which will outline measures to help eliminate any persisting discrimination on grounds of gender, age, family status, marital status, sexual orientation, race, disability, religion or membership of the Traveller Community." (PfG, p6)
To ensure that this commitment is inclusive of unemployed people it will be important for a new equality ground to be introduced, a ground that is noticeable by its absence, and that is the ground of socio-economic status.
In summary the INOU is calling on the Government to:
- Start restoring social welfare rates to 2009 levels with an €8 per week increase.
- End the inequitable age segregation to Jobseekers Allowance payments by reversing the cuts to younger jobseekers.
- Fully Restore the Christmas bonus and change the eligibility criteria from 15 to 12 months.
- Increase the duration on Jobseekers Benefit to 12 and 9 months.
- Scale up significantly social housing provision to address the level of demand.
- Ensure employment programmes are a stepping stone to a decent job.
- Participation on these programmes is by choice and people can self-refer.
- Increase the top-up payment on employment programmes by €7.50
- Increase the income limit on which people start to pay PRSI.
- Facilitate access to employment programmes for all unemployed people, including people in receipt of no payment and ex-offenders.
- Build on the Department's Strategic Objective to "Put the Client at the Centre of Services and Policies"
- Support frontline staff to deliver a person-centred service with good guidance and information on the best options.
- Promote the 'fast-track system' and 'payment pending wages' supports.
- Incorporate a strong equality and social inclusion focus.
- A properly resourced integrated, inter-departmental and inter-agency approach that ensures the maximum possible number of unemployed people get access to decent jobs.
- The pro-active and timely provision of good information and practical supports to unemployed people on decent job opportunities.
- The faster achievement of the commitment to increase the National Minimum Wage to €10.50 per hour.
- Extend the duration on Back to Work Enterprise Allowance to three years.
- Improve local E&T access to improve job opportunities.
- Ensure all programmes are open to unemployed people including the 2 year Part-time ICT Conversion course.
- Increase income and service supports to facilitate participation and in particular to cover the costs.
- Improve access to guidance counselling and enhance matching of learners needs with appropriate provision.
- Properly support CVS organisations addressing social and economic exclusion.
- Support local communities to address their local socio-economic needs through the provision of resources to support the development of social enterprises.
- Support and resource good quality alternative and community based learning.

The exercise clears my head, and usually hanging out in the sauna afterwards makes me sleepy. I usually go to the gym at my college. The gym is a little old, but I like it that way. This particular thursday, I had a great workout, and was relaxing in the sauna. Towards the end of the day, the gym tends to be a lot less crowded, which I like. A few minutes later, I needed a drink, and headed out.
Gym Thursday
The exercise clears my head, and usually hanging out in the sauna afterwards makes me sleepy. I usually go to the gym at my college. The gym is a little old, but I like it that way. This particular thursday, I had a great workout, and was relaxing in the sauna. Towards the end of the day, the gym tends to be a lot less crowded, which I like. A few minutes later, I needed a drink, and headed out.
Gym Weights And Sex
Because we work there we are allowed to work out after hours. Mike has no idea what I would give to wrap my lips around his hot cock and suck it until he came all over my face. Everytime I see him at the gym I can not take my eyes of off him. He is always in shorts and a tank top. I see the hair on his arms and I get an erection imagaing him jacking me off. We start with the bench press.
Gymtastic Encounter
It`s work very hard for 5 months then relax a bit before doing it all again next summer. The boys here are very friendly. locals and visitors alike. My day starts at around 8am where I must be at my business to receive and store daily product deliveries till around noon. Afterwards it`s off to the gym for 3-4 hrs. I like the changes that I see since starting my work out routine.
Had To Have Him
He went back to university, and I got his job at a magazine. I saw pictures of him all dressed up in a tux at our last awards dinner, the severe black lines of the suit only emphasising his sweet, young face and body. So he went off to study again and I worked solidly at the magazine. As soon as I caught sight of him, I knew the photos I'd seen did him a disservice. Straight boys are so sweet.
You know the kind, full of old blenders and second hand clothing. The pay was good even if you did have to deal with a few weirdoes once in a while. Most of the customers were low-income and minorities looking to make the most of their money. Some were better off with good jobs and just looking for bargains or hidden treasures. I liked flirting with the ladies that came through.
Hairy Four Fuck
Today is different. I want to take all three guys myself. I want to feel their hot meat slam inside me as sweat drips off their hairy bodies. We all meet for lunch in my office. I lock the door and smile at all three of them. I get on the floor on my knees and motion for Jon to come over to me. He puts his crotch in my face and smile and pull down his zipper. They stop and move closer to me.
Halloween Party
He and his lover are into 3-ways and group sex, and I'd been to a couple of their wilder parties, so I had some idea what to expect. It turned out to be even better than that. When I arrived, they had everything all set up, and there were already a couple of people there. They had the living room set up with pillows all over the place and they had the VCR on with some hot tape going on.
The Hamstring Pull
He was just half a length ahead of me. I made sure I had run close to him when I got started to catch his eye. And then I would stay about 10 yards in front of him so he could watch me in my cute little shorts. I had seen him several times at the track and definitely had the sense that he was interested. So today I had worn an outfit sure to capture his interest. Thankfully he was. Yeah. Oooooh.
Happy Thanksgiving
I have been bi for 5 years now. I have had a good share of great times with guys but the best time happened about year and a half ago. I have always been very discreet and no one knows I am bi. I started to go to a gym that a lot of bi and gay guys go to. I never wanted to do anything there case I am discreet and co workers go there. But I noticed a guy checking me out.
Married Man Meets Hard Grey Dude
You see, I'm married and while I'd been hooked on gay porn for some time, I'd never gotten up the nerve to actually make contact with anyone. Then I found a website for gays in my city and I decided to post my info. That's where I first came into contact with him. His "handle" said that he was older and "hard. " I, myself am 36 years old and really into bears, and older men.

About Tooth-Colored Fillings@headingTag>
To best serve her patients, cosmetic and general dentist, Dr. Victoria Veytsman, runs a metal and mercury free dental practice. When fillings are needed to fill a dental cavity or strengthen the tooth, Dr. Veytsman uses resin and porcelain for a better treatment and the tooth-colored fillings help to maintain the aesthetic value of the patient's teeth after the procedure. Every filling at Dr. Veytsman's Midtown Manhattan dental practice is colored to match the patient's natural teeth for seamless protection. Another reason Dr. Veytsman prefers tooth-colored fillings is the fact that they do not change in size or appearance like metal fillings and resin or porcelain fillings cause less sensitivity to the patient. Dr. Veytsman highly recommends tooth-colored porcelain or resin over metal for those in need of dental fillings.
Tooth-Colored Fillings Reviews
What to Expect@headingTag>
Dr. Veytsman offers her patients a one-of-a-kind experience when undergoing a filling procedure. Prior to the procedure, the patient's tooth is photographed and measured to create a filling that is comfortable and matches the shade of their tooth. The filling, made of resin or porcelain, is then bonded to the tooth. These steps help to create a filling that perfectly fits the patient's tooth and covers the entire area that needs protection. This procedure can cause minor pain and discomfort, so most patients will not be able to immediately return to their regular routines.
Treatment Aftercare@headingTag>
Following a filling procedure, patients will need time, at least 1 – 3 hours, to allow their anesthesia to wear off before they can leave the office. Patients should be cautious in talking or chewing so they do not bite the inside of their mouth or tongue while the area is numb. The gums may also be tender or sore at the injection site, but this will subside in a day or so. The tooth or teeth will be sensitive to hot or cold liquids or food for a short time, but this is normal and temporary. Should patients feel any extreme discomfort or unevenness in the tooth after the anesthesia has worn off, please call our office immediately. Patients typically should not expect to receive any medication or special instructions unless directed by Dr. Veytsman during their consultation or after the procedure.
Anticipated Costs@headingTag>
Like other dental procedures, the cost of a tooth-colored filling is dependent upon the amount of work that needs to be done and the materials needed. Our office will contact the patient's insurance company prior to visiting our New York office, to inquire if this procedure is covered within their policy. For those without insurance or looking to pay the cost out of pocket, payment options can be discussed during the consultation with Dr. Veytsman.
Plan Your Procedure
Undetectable Fillings@headingTag>
Dr. Veytsman's dental practice in New York would be honored to help you achieve the smile you've been dreaming of. Our tooth-colored fillings help to maintain the overall beauty of your smile, as well as ensuring that you can have comfort with normal activities like eating and drinking. Schedule an appointment at our Midtown East office to see if tooth-colored filling are the right treatment for you.

Wal-Mart Supercenter could replace Hollywood's Millennium Mall
Much of the Millennium Mall property in Hollywood could soon be home to a new Wal-Mart Supercenter.
The Miami Herald is reporting that Wal-Mart spokesman Bill Wertz said the proposed 180,000-square-foot store would have various services, including a pharmacy, a fast-food restaurant and groceries.
Other parcels at the property, at 5800 Hollywood Blvd., would have TD Bank and Pollo Tropical.
Once the project begins, it would take 12 months to complete. The city will consider the project in September or October.

Despite committing to Iowa a few months later, Nick Saban's pursuit of the four-star resulted in a return trip to campus for a true visit from Monday to Wednesday.
"I'm feeling pretty good," said Pierschbacher shortly after driving from Tuscaloosa to nearby Birmingham for his flight out west. "I just wanted to get a better understanding. I came for a game, but they don't do much as far as in-depth knowledge of a school. But on this trip, we definitely saw it in depth, we basically checked out everything. We did that, and I was happy."
The Four-star offensive lineman out of Cedar Falls (Iowa) had a certain view of the Crimson Tide's layout, but the personal experience was something more.
"It surpassed my expectations," Pierschbacher said. "The people inside the building show the more important thing, though. The bells and whistles are amazing and all, but the people inside of it stood out. It's a big family, everyone was very focused on the task at hand. There were no distractions, which is pretty neat.
"They're still the same old people like me, very down to earth. Even the big recruits, they're normal."
"I like it laid back, being from Iowa that's how we are," he continued. "I'm even more laid back than most Iowa people. I'm low-key, they are too. We go about our business and work hard.
"Those guys fit that mold."
The leader of said mold spent some time with Pierschbacher, who FOX Sports NEXT/Scout.com ranks as the No. 2 guard prospect nationally in the class of 2014.
"Talking to Coach Saban probably stood out the most," he admitted. "Listening to what he had to say, I kind of had to take a step back. He said this is something I can be a part of and it was all in front of my face. I've always known it's been pretty good at Alabama, but it's crazy seeing it in person.
"It sells itself, but he talks about the accomplishments they have and everything they have to offer with academic support and life after football."
The one person not so laid back on Alabama's staff also made an impression, and it was positive.
"Coach [Scott] Cochran, I don't think you can find many other strength coaches like that, period," he added.
The calculated Pierschbacher will visit the third school in the mix, Stanford, before collecting the entirety of his pros and cons for each program and making a big decision.
"I couldn't tell you that," he said of his current recruiting status, though he maintains his current commitment to the Hawkeyes. "I visit Stanford tomorrow, and after that I'll sit down and think of everything. I've been told never to say anything on the visit about committing anywhere…you let your feelings settle down and take that step back.
"I've never been to California in my life, so I'm looking forward to seeing what that's like."
Pierschbacher plans on making the decision before Cedar Falls wraps-up its two-a-days this fall.
"I want to do it before the season to get it over with," he explained. " Just to feel comfortable with it, instead of waiting it out for the entire season, especially if I knew where I wanted to be. Then I can focus on my senior season and the team."
Besides conference and location, there is one big difference between the Hawkeyes, Cardinal and Crimson Tide – position projection.
Said Pierschbacher, "Alabama says anywhere on the offensive line, Stanford says guard mainly and Iowa tells me left tackle. Wherever I can contribute the most at, that's where I'll play. I can see myself at all five positions, it doesn't matter to me. I can play all five if wanted too."

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own deranged plots.
A/N: For bunnyangel, not letting me forget.
READ FIRST! This is an unfinished scene I've been working on for the sequel to my story "Out of the Abyss". For those of you who haven't read it, the Shitennou (Generals) are back, and are once again good guys. They're also once again with the Senshi. After the events of "Abyss" Mamoru and the boys went to Europe so the Shitennou and Senshi would have a little time to think through all the craziness since the boys came back. This scene picks up as the boys have just returned from Europe after two months, and are looking for their respective women. They happen to stumble across several young men from Mamoru's university, including the Student Body President, spying on the Senshi. Rumors have abounded about each of the girls, from Usagi's innocence (making her an "easy mark") to Rei's fiery nature ("wildcat in the sack.") Instead of letting the boys pound them into the pavement, Kunzite makes a wager with the ringleader over which of them can attract Minako more. The Student Body President agrees, and goes to talk up the Goddess of Love. Kunzite is unimpressed, and takes his turn…
Kunzite shook his head sadly.
"Iie, my friends," he muttered to the other men. "He speaks too much about himself. Perhaps he should try something like this."
He clasped his hands behind his back and strolled forward with an air of casual grace. Minako, still talking to the Student Body President, laughed at something he said. Then her eyes happened to glance towards the source of movement, and her smile froze. Azure eyes widened, and her whole body seemed to tense.
"Blessed Sol," Jadeite grumbled in Mamoru's ear, "he's in his element."
"And about to show the little boys how it's done," Zoisite added, grinning wildly.
Kunzite stepped up beside his oblivious rival, pausing for a moment to look deeply into those wide blue eyes. His face softened into a look of awe.
"Artists have for centuries, even millennia, used the goddess Venus when trying to trap that ever elusive reflection of true, feminine splendor," Kunzite murmured, reaching to take one trembling hand in his. "Titian and Botticelli with their seashells and fat cherubs, Greeks and Romans with their," he slowly stroked one finger up her arm, "cold marble flesh. And always, always, the lady is nude."
He smiled sadly and shook his head, his hand beginning to slide back down towards her wrist.
"In their obsession with flesh, each and every one of them as missed their mark. The truest womanly beauty is found in the eyes of a woman who knows she is loved as she should be, adored as she merits, worshipped as she deserves."
Ever so gently, he pressed a small, lingering kiss to the back of Minako's hand, his eyes never leaving hers.
"But sadly," Kunzite whispered, his mouth still tantalizingly close to her flesh, his fingers stroking her wrist, "male ignorance and manly arrogance makes it so very rare to find such a look in any woman's eyes. That is why a man fixated only on flesh can never achieve true beauty."
It was not only Minako who was gazing up at him with melting eyes anymore. A collective sigh seemed to go up from eight girls. Haruka blinked, then looked accusingly at Michiru, who quickly lost her amorous smile.
"Gomen," Neptune muttered.
Nephrite frowned and tapped his fingers against his leg, thinking over what they had just seen. Then he, too, shook his head uncertainly.
"Now, Kunzite my friend," he began uneasily, moving towards them without Kunzite's grace, but a stronger, more purposeful step, "there is a certain charm to what you say. I can see that from the ladies' expressions."
On cue, the girls gave a helpful, agreeable sigh. Jadeite saw a muscle in Mamoru's jaw twitch, but his Prince managed to keep a straight face.
"However, can you really confine the splendor of a woman's beauty to merely one thing?"
A glance at Makoto showed her all but bouncing on the balls of her feet. She threw a speaking look at her companions that plainly said, My turn.
"Take this young lady," Nephrite said, gesturing to Makoto as if he picked her at random. He stepped close to her, crooking his finger beneath her chin and tilting her face up to his. He stared down into her eyes as a fortune teller with a crystal ball. "No sane man could say she is anything but beautiful. And while her eyes may be the center of it all, there is so much more in her than the love of a man. There is independence like a storm, delicacy like an arc of lightning, and strength like emerald thunder. So much of what she is shines in her face, without any help from a man at all."
Jadeite glanced to his left, and nearly lost his somber expression. Mamoru was innocently studying the sky, and Zoisite the ground. Laughter was shaking both their forms, though they managed to keep it silent. To his right, the rest of the more modern young men stared at Kunzite and Nephrite in a kind of frightened wonder.
"Let's take this up a notch," Zoisite whispered to his friends.
"Go, man," Jadeite managed to mutter around laughs.
With a step neither casually graceful or strongly purposeful, but easy and comfortable, Zoisite approached the grinning mass of girls. He scanned over Usagi and Rei, both of whom seemed ready to dissolve into giggles, then, as if by chance, his eyes settled on Ami. He tipped his head, studying her as if she were something rare and exquisite.
"There is much to be said for a woman who is strong yet delicate, independent yet content to be adored. She would indeed be a woman of unusual beauty. But there should be something more. A desire to be more. A yearning to stretch outside of the little cocoon of everyday life, a need to reach out and see everything she can, know everything she can.
"In these cerulean eyes," Zoisite whispered, his hand brushing a strand of hair from her face and lingering on her cheek, "I see a desire to learn, to understand everything, from the awesome might of the universe to the splendor of her own power, her own beauty."
To the amusement of several, Ami gave a very un-Ami-like, almost, dare he say, dreamy, giggle.
Looking again right, it took all Jadeite's strength not to double over laughing. The Student Body President had retreated to stand next to his friends. The foursome were staring at Kunzite, Nephrite, and Zoisite with something between hatred, jealousy, and reverence.
"You take the next one," Jadeite whispered to Mamoru. "I need a minute."
Mamoru closed his eyes and took a deep, calming breath. When it looked like he could contain his mirth, he opened his eyes. He did not bother trying to appear casual. He looked at only one girl as he started forward.
Jadeite watched his Prince with a touch of envy. He moved with unconscious elegance and barely controlled power, like a man who was used to being in control, to being obeyed. Yet the hand that stretched out to his Princess was nothing but tender.
"Love," Mamoru whispered in a voice unmistakably like Endymion's. "Strength. Independence. Delicacy. A yearning to understand. And all of it wrapped together in unfailing innocence, unsurpassed sweetness, and a compassion that is both naïve and awesome. More than anything, a fearlessness of what others will say. A willingness to do what is right when friends say, 'No,' when parents say, 'Don't,' when even the gods say," he raised his hand to touch her lips, " 'forbidden.'"
A small smile of unspoken secrets flitted across her face, and she kissed the tips of his fingers.
"What is more beautiful than a woman with all of that?" Mamoru breathed.
Jadeite could not even look at the other young men. From just the corner of his eye he could see their jaws sagging.
Alright, let's finish this up.
He knew he did not walk with grace or power or comfort or control. He swaggered a tiny bit, his eyes catching Rei's. Immediately a flame lit deep within that violet gaze. Yet she did not move forward to greet him. In fact, she crossed her arms and stared at him with cold disdain.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" she asked with a small sneer.
Jadeite shrugged. "I think my friends," he gave a mocking bow to Kunzite, Nephrite, and Zoisite, "and my liege," a deeper bow to Mamoru, "have said it all. All I have to add is that one thing that makes a woman more than a perfect porcelain doll. Hotter than the heart of a flame, wild as a bonfire…a woman must have passion."
He smiled as her stance relaxed slightly, before adding, "There is only one way to truly appreciate the full beauty of a woman."
He reached out, his hand flat against the small of her back. He gave her an almighty pull, and she was flush against him. His mouth landed on hers in one long, searing kiss.
"Woohoo!" Makoto's voice shouted from somewhere to his left. "Now we get to start the kissing!"
Laughter came from the three elder Outer Senshi. Jadeite heard, before Rei completely consumed his world, Haruka's voice.
"Welcome home, gentlemen."

Gr. 6-12. Retired teacher Marie Rackham follows up The Basic Cozy Grammar Course (2002) with this similarly helpful punctuation primer. Strolling around her comfy home an picturesque Vancouver [Island] B.C. environs, Rackham compares punctuation marks to "traffic signs for reading and writing" and explains how the placement of commas, periods, exclamation points, and other symbols follow speech pauses and verbal inflections. Practical examples show how changing the location of a comma, for example, completely changes the meaning of a sentence. The program features the teacher's homespun advice and punctuation rules in captions. The accompanying workbook enhances the usefulness of this excellent tutorial for classroom or self-study purposes.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except my own creations.
The double pram that parked itself in the middle of the bullpen was totally black, bar the white skull painted on the left hand side and it's red sister on the other. If you were to look closer, you would see that the belt clasps were silver skulls. But the whole gothic look of the pram was kind of lost as its two occupants were covered in a bright orange and purple blanket respectively.
It was in front of this pram that Abigail Scuito knelt as she checked on her children. Eight month old Nate was happily gumming the edge of his blanket as 20 month old Willa had a look of intense concentration on her face as she impatiently thrust her blanket to the side and struggled to open the belt clasp that held her stationary.
Satisfied that her babies were safe, Abby tapped the pram as she stood up once again. She had a meeting with the director, and so McGee, Tony and Ziva are on babysitting duty. 'Behave.'
'Aren't your kids a little too young to understand that?' scoffed Tony as he came over from his desk.
'She wasn't talking about them,' said the suddenly appearing Gibbs and Tony received the obligatory head slap. 'Gotcha boss.'
'Your children will be safe with us,' promised Ziva as she made her way over and gripped the pram handles. 'Won't they?' she prompted as Tony nodded his head earnestly. 'Very safe.'
'McGee,' gritted Ziva as the agent finally looked up from his computer screen and offered his own distracted response. 'Yeah. What she said.'
'They better be,' said Gibbs mildly, but all three agents shuddered inwardly and swallowed. It didn't take much imagination to figure out would happen to them if any harm come to those two babies. 'Abs?'
When Abby and Gibbs left the meeting room some time later, Abby placed a hand on Gibbs' arm and made him stand next to her on the balcony as they looked down into the bullpen. And what a sight it was to behold!
Tony was lying flat on the ground on his stomach with Nate in the same position opposite him as they both sized each other up. Tony was hitting the ground at random moments and Nate was copying with a giggle. It was hard to tell who was having more fun.
McGee was out of sight under his desk as he went about fixing something, whilst Ziva was holding a package at arms length as if it were a nuclear bomb as she made her way to a rubbish bin. Willa was holding onto the edge of McGee's desk and peering underneath. She was in such a position that it was surprising that she had yet to lose her balance and fall over.
Abby rested her head against Gibbs' shoulder as he pressed a kiss to her crown and they took a few moments to take in the scene before them.
The moment was broken seconds later when a voice carried across the room.
'Toh!' called Nate.
Everyone stopped and looked at the boy.
Tony was beside himself and jumped up from the ground, bending down to swing Nate up into his arms.
'Did you just say Tony?' he said excitedly. 'Say it again Nate. Toh-nee,' he prompted, but baby Gibbs just looked at him innocently and thrust a fist into his mouth, refusing to say another word.
When Ziva took Nate from Tony's arms a second later Nate went willingly as Ziva walked away. Tony was behind her instantly, following like a lost puppy as he constantly prompted Nate to say his name again.
'It's amazing how babies reduce our seasoned agents to the mental level of a baby themselves,' laughed Abby.
'It ain't a joking matter Abs,' growled Gibbs. 'Don't tell me that my son's first word will be Tony.'
The question was answered then and there when Nate's voice came clear across the bullpen once again. 'Toh! Ee!'
Gibbs groaned as his head dropped and Tony punched the air with his fist. He grabbed Nate - and by extension Ziva - as he danced around in a circle before another Gibbs interrupted.
'Ssh,' called Willa indignantly. 'We working.'
Tony let go of the laughing baby and his honourary aunt as he dropped to Willa's level and swung her up into his arms. 'Uncle Tony's just happy.'
'Why?' asked the toddler inquisitively. 'Why happy?'
'Your brother said his first word, that's why!' said Tony gleefully. 'He said Tony!'
Willa looked at him seriously for a moment before she raised her hand and hit Tony on the top of his head. 'Silly,' she declared as she slithered out of his arms and back onto the floor as all around them laughed and Tony rubbed his head. 'Ouch.'
'Like father, like daughter eh Tony?' laughed McGee from the floor as Gibbs and Abby hit the ground once again. 'You saying that's a bad thing Tim?' called Gibbs.
'Not at all boss,' responded McGee, flustered at the latest arrivals before Willa saved him by poking him in the side and handing him a screwdriver. 'Work!' He willingly thrust his head under the desk once again.
Abby had since made her way over to her son and now held him in her arms as she grinned. 'Did you say your first word baby? Did you say Tony?'
'Toh! Ee!' repeated the baby gleefully as he pressed his mother's cheeks together.
'Why?' groaned Gibbs as he brushed the fine brown hair of his son and kissed the top.
Nate couldn't be shut up now. 'Toh! Ee! Toh! Ee!'
'Good job!' complimented Abby as Tony did a little dance on the spot in the background. 'You're so smart.'
'I say it!' said Willa crossly as she made her way over and pulled on her father's pant legs. 'Tony. Tony. Tony,' she blabbered, no doubt wondering what all the fuss was about with her baby brother saying her uncle's name. Anyone could do it!
'That's cos you're a big girl,' declared Gibbs as he swung the dark headed tot into his arms. 'You're Daddy's big girl.'
'I thought that was me?' said Abby cheekily as Tony's excitement promptly turned to horror and he covered his ears. 'Didn't need to hear that. And most certainly did not need that image.'
When McGee chose that moment to come out from under the desk with a flourish and declare it 'all done' he was greeted with the sight of Tony blocking his ears with his fingers, eyes shut and singing 'la la la' as Ziva laughed nearby and his boss had a smirk on his face. 'What did I miss?'
'I think poor Tony will be having nightmares for a few days,' laughed Abby switching Nate to her hip.
'Days?' sputtered Tony. 'Try weeks. Months. Years. Hell, even bloody decades.' He shuddered. 'This is like thinking about your parents having sex. Blergh.'
Abby laughed gleefully at McGee's look of confusion before it morphed into something that resembled a cross between disgust and morbid fascination.
When Ducky stepped off the elevator decked out in his going out gear fifteen minutes later and walked into the bullpen Willa was sitting on her father's shoulders. McGee was tapping away happily on his computer whilst Abby was elbows deep in the black bag attached to the pram. Tony was sitting at his desk with his legs propped up as he bounced the baby boy in his lap and constantly repeated his own name. Ziva was sitting on the edge of Gibbs' desk watching the scene before her in amusement.
'Why on Earth do you feel the need to repeat your name constantly Anthony?' questioned Ducky as Tony flashed him a bright smile. 'Nate said his first word.'
'Ah, young Nathaniel has reached another milestone has he,' said Ducky tapping the baby on the head. 'Congratulations.'
'The first word was Tony,' said Ziva as Ducky turned his attention to Gibbs. 'How do we feel about that Jethro?'
'He could do worse I suppose,' said Gibbs as Tony loudly made his response known. 'I'm touched boss. You're glad your son's first word is my name.'
'Don't push it DiNozzo,' said Gibbs. 'And keep your eye on my child.'
'What?' said Tony as he continued to bounce before he realised that Nate was about to fly off his lap. His arms flew out as he stopped the tumble southward as a chorus of Jethro and Willa Gibbs shouted out 'DiNozzo!'
'All good,' said Tony with a winning grin as he propped up the laughing baby on his stomach and raised Nate's hand in a wave.
Shaking his head, Ducky walks forward. 'The similarities between yourself and your father never cease to amaze me Elisabeth,' said Ducky as he chucked the chin of the girl high up on Gibbs' shoulders.
'Not Elisabeth. Willa!' retorted the toddler.
'And with equal measures of stubbornness I see,' laughed Ducky. 'I do apologise my dear. Where is Abigail?'
'I'm back here Ducky,' called Abby from behind the pram as she stood up.
'If I had known that there was going to be a party, I would have come better prepared,' said Ducky accepting the eager hug from Abby. 'After all it is customary for the ...'
Leaving Ducky to share his stories with the unfortunate parents, Ziva rose from the desk and made her way over to Tony. Hands out, she raised her eyebrow. Tony knew what they meant. 'Give it to me. Now!'
'But why?' Tony whined as he cuddled Nate toward him. 'We were getting along so well.'
'I'm the more responsible adult,' argued Ziva as she gestured once again.
Nate looked between them before he held his arms out to Ziva and called 'Toh! Ee!'
Tony looked at the boy now in Ziva's arms despondently as McGee laughed. 'Not so special are we now Tony?'
'Shut up McGee,' ground out Tony and then he slapped himself on the back of his head when the smiling baby in Ziva's arms decided that now would be a good time to learn another word.
'Sha! Up!' cried Nate. 'Shup!'
