Following her sister's acceptance of African lust, Candy, Dana's younger teen sister, would also become "Africanized" in a more provocative way.
* * * * * * *
Part 2
As previously revealed, Dana was Africanized that first night during the four day retreat at Niga Falls near the more famous Owu Falls. During my conversation with Hart and his daughter, Candy, it became even more eerie to hear what had happened with her that first night and how Candy had lost her innocence to black African lust. Although Dana was more inviting as to her seduction, Candy was more reluctant during her submission to black African cock and it scarred her mind for years to come.
From my notes and recordings with Candy I wrote the following sequence of events that occurred during that first day at the retreat along with their initial arrival to Africa.
Candy was the second oldest teen, at 18, of the Hart children and definitely the apple of her father's eye. She was a small girl only 4'11" tall and weighed barely 90 pounds. Her sister, Dana, was light honey blonde but Candy was almost white blonde and she wore her hair in two flowing ponytails. Her eyes were almost turquoise and she had a few light freckles on her cheeks.
It was only one month ago when she arrived in Nigeria with her mother, sisters and brother. Although all were stunning in appearance it was Candy that drew many of the stares from the black Africans in the air terminal. Although just fresh out of high school she looked even younger and was such a contrast to the culture that she had stepped into.
Little did she know that many of those stares had a hidden African lust behind them causing many of the black men's cocks to harden just looking at this beautiful little girl. She was certainly a prize catch for any black man, especially rich Africans who would pay handsomely for a chance to spread her virgin legs.
As stated previously in the first story Hart and his wife left the campground heading for home after the dinner. Dana and Candy as were the twins were escorted to their respective lodgings. Candy and her sister Dana were assigned to tents about 250 meters from the pavilion where their luggage had already been placed for them. Candy was in a tent about 40 meters from her sister's tent but further away. She was so excited in that this was the first time she had been camping since her membership in Girl Scouts.
After reading the brochures and making her bed she changed clothes and eagerly went to find her sister's tent but Dana was not there. She then briskly walked along the lamp lighted path to join in the opening festivities.
The program was vibrating with the dances, drums and music. Candy had never seen something so exciting as this especially without her parents present. There was so much excitement in the African dances. It lasted until around 9:30 at night and afterwards the young ladies were joined by personal counselors and invited to learn African dance steps and moves. All the counselors were black and ranged from 20 to 45 years of age.
These white daughters of ex-pats were naďve as to the actual format of this retreat. It was advertised as an introduction to African culture but the deep hardened truth was that many of these African men came from well to do families that paid Nigeria's ruler handsomely for a chance to perhaps rut with young white girls.
After the main program a number of the girls became tired and chose to return to their lodgings but Candy wanted to experience the dance lessons and to see if she could find her sister.
"Miss Candy I presume," a strong voice announced from behind her. Candy turned was shocked at what seemed like a black giant to her. "I am Afolabi of Zulu descent and have been assigned as your personal counselor." Afolabi was 6'5" tall, lean and muscular with blue- black skin. Although 41 yrs old he was well conditioned. Candy seemed like a dwarf to this tall African and it was intimidating. "Do not let my size frighten you little blonde princess. I will take good care of you and this retreat will be of utmost joy to you."
Afolabi was saying nice things while his mind was thinking otherwise. He had never seen such a thing of beauty. Her beautiful face, shapely small body, white blonde hair along with being young and innocent. With his giant frame looking down on her she appeared to him almost a child. The horrid truth is that in most African countries there is no underage law upheld and the taking of pre-teen girls is a delicacy. This African was fantasizing that thought about Candy.
Candy was unaware that prior to this event, files and photos of all the white families invited to this retreat had been reviewed by notable Africans and there was a secret bidding held to assign counselors to certain daughters and sons invited to camp. Afolabi personally paid handsomely for this luscious white prize and intended to get his money's worth with or without her consent.
The African dance class was soon over and was followed by a regular dance format of disco and slow dancing. After several fast beat dances, music to a slow dance came on and Afolabi took Candy's hands and pulled her to him. Candy had never danced with a black man let alone close and touching one. Feeling his arms slide around her back and waist then pressing her against him made her nervous. He was so tall that the top of her head barely reached his chest. As she looked up she noticed that his dark eyes were affixed on her and seemed to hypnotize her.
"Mr. Afolabi, please do not hold me this close. My father would not approve and I feel uncomfortable doing this." "Relax little girl, this is just part of your introduction to bonding with African culture and there is no harm intended," Afolabi replied.
His words seemed assuring until Candy began to feel a hardening in the African's crotch area against her chest. My God, she thought. This man is becoming sexually aroused and behind his white shorts something black and big is rubbing against my chest. This can't be happening. Please, no.
He held her tight as his black cock was almost bursting out of his shorts. The more Candy squirmed the more she felt it throbbing between her breasts. The African then reached under her arms lifting her up and again held her close while they danced as Candy grew even more frightened.
Candy struggled and pushed the African away as she regained her footing ending the dance. "I apologize Mr. Afolabi, but I'm tired and also feel uneasy about this. Besides, I need to find my sisters and see if they are okay."
"I mean no harm girl. If you are referring to the bulge in my shorts, that's only natural and in Africa it is a compliment, not a threat. You have much to learn about our ways and culture. Go then and I will see you for the next activity." Little did Candy know what he meant by the "next activity."
It was late into the night as the full moon helped the lamplights glow on the path leading to her tent. Not halfway there she heard the moans of a girl coming from a counselor's hutch. Curiously, she approached the hutch and peeked inside. Shockingly, she saw the small head of a very young British girl gasping as a black African man held her hands behind her back with one hand while the other hand was on her behind. Her skirt up to her waist and her blouse open, she was lying on her side pressed against him as he was trying to penetrate her. "Please, no, you're cock is too big." she pleaded. "I only wanted to play around with you...I didn't mean to tease you. My parents would just want to die if they knew I was this close to a black man. This is not why I came to this retreat....please, stop." "Shut up white girl, your father is not here and you're going to spread those legs and let me have my way with you. After all, you invited yourself after we met at the program tonight. You even rubbed my cock when we danced. Don't tease me. I paid much money to be your counselor and you are mine for the next three days. If you refuse to open your legs I will use your pretty little mouth but you might choke on a cock this size."
She was crying and pleading but the black African would have no part in her refusing him. He pressed harder and his black cock pushed her legs apart and with a sudden hump pushed into her vagina. "Oh my, oh my, it hurts....pleaseeee, no," she moaned. The African then placed his hand over her mouth as he began to slowly stroke his black manhood into her. Her head bobbled up and down as her cries were muffled and tears flowed down her cheeks. Candy was horrified. She had never seen a couple having sex let alone such a young white girl being ravaged by a jet- black thrusting African.
After only minutes the African rolled over on top of the girl and his black buttocks was in full bore. Her cries became moans as her hands and arms began to wrap around him. The young girl was now enjoying a black cock as her small white legs raised in the air and quivered while she unexpectedly surrendered an orgasm. Then, the black African began violently shaking as he spewed his load of jism into her belly. He released his hand from her mouth and she made no more sounds. Her eyes were glossy and her body limp from the fucking she just had. She was "Africanized" and would be impaled on hard black African cock for the next three days. Candy was shocked at what she saw. This poor girl taken by this black heathen. Nervously, she left, hopefully finding her sister.
Candy rushed to her sister's tent. Only 30 meters from it she again heard moans. "Oh, my gosh, Dana is in trouble," she thought. Candy lightly pulled the tent flap back and she became even more horrified. There was her sister, Dana, between two thrusting Africans. One was penetrating her vagina and the other beginning to penetrate her butt. Yet Dana was clutching her counselor's back and neck and kissing him as she moaned....uhhh, uhhh, oh, oh. oh, awh, awh, fuck me, fuck me....ohhhh. Candy, just moments before saw her first black seduction but now she was witnessing a white woman in the clutch of and being impaled by two very black Africans. More horrid, this was her SISTER. And, Dana seemed to really be enjoying it.
Candy did not know what to do at this point. Perhaps she needed to find a phone and call her parents to get them out of this place. Yet the pavilion was closed and she did not know where to find a phone. Frightened and unsure what to do she sought the security of her tent and after entering she tied the flaps shut and lay down on the bed. This fun trip had turned into a nightmare, she thought.
It was midnight and after a short cry Candy was very tired and soon fell asleep. An hour later a voice spoke, "Miss Candy, are you okay." Suddenly awakened, Candy answered, "who is it" "It is your counselor, Afolabi. I come to make sure you are secure and safe. May I enter" Candy was perplexed, not knowing what to do so she got up and went to the tent front. "I'm okay but scared Mr. Afolabi. Please, leave me alone so I can get some rest."
"Miss Candy, I sense you are concerned about certain things you may have seen but I need to speak with you and explain so you can feel secure. Besides, I have something that will make you feel at ease and rest better tonight," he insisted. Candy thought, yea I bet. "No, only a few minutes of your time Miss Candy and I will leave," the African promised..
Candy untied the flaps of the tent knowing it was probably futile being only in a tent. Afolabi entered but he only had on his white shorts with no shirt. He also was adorned with an African necklace and bracelets on his right arm. More strikingly, he had a beautiful gold Rolex worn tightly on his left wrist that shined and reflected in the lamplight. Candy, for some reason, had always thought that Rolexes were sexy but never had touched one.
Afolabi being 6'5" tall was bent over trying not to hit his head on the tent top. "Miss Candy, please join me in enjoying an African herb that will relax you and make you rest easy through the night." "What is it," she replied. "It is called Jambi and is used for medicinal care and relaxation in our country." Afolabi lit up the rolled like cigarette and inhaled it. Candy had never smoked, much less smoked things like pot and was very hesitant to partake. "Please, do not worry Miss Candy. This is harmless and very relished by people of our country," Afolabi insisted.
"Okay, if I do smoke some of it will you leave me to get some sleep" Candy replied. "Yes girl, I am only doing this to help you relax," replied Afolabi.
Candy took the joint and inhaled it. After abruptly coughing she again inhaled it and tasted the sweet aroma. Afolabi then inhaled it again as he passed it back to her. After several times of inhaling the smoke Candy felt a sudden calm and felt more at ease with the situation.
Being in a strange place and at the moment alone with a giant black African was intimidating to say the least but after a few minutes those fears began to fade away. She had tried to push those sights of the young British girl being blacked and her sister being ravaged by two Africans out of her mind but it was still bothering her. Yet, this was Candy's first independent chance to appear as if she was old enough to be responsible and not just a small girl.
As she began to feel high and relaxed, Candy asked if she could touch his Rolex watch. Afolabi extended his hand to her while placing his other hand on her shoulder. The touch of his watch felt cool and somewhat exciting to her for some reason as she rubbed the crystal face along with his black hand. Afolabi was pleased that she was more relaxed. "Miss Candy, this tent is so small to my frame. Let us go outside and walk over to the waterfall so I can stretch my legs if you will. I will then explain to you why some things occur in this retreat.
Candy was feeling more high by now and the thought of walking through the bush with a black African no longer seemed to concern her. She was enjoying the freedom, the high and now strangely the excitement of being with a real man who was seemingly was guarding her from peril. Yes, he was big, he was black but his voice was caring. Surely this African would respect her she thought. Yes, she was naďve.
By the waterfall there was a large trunk tree on a grassy knoll where it seemed so serene and the tall African led Candy to the base of the tree. She was mesmerized by the beauty of the full moon night along with the flowing waterfall. Afolabi knew that the effects of the herb he had given her would grow even stronger. For him, the herb made his lust for this little girl intensify so that again his long stiffened black cock was almost peaking out from the top of his shorts. Candy was unaware of that as she had never been high like this and was just innocently enjoying the serene night and sounds along with the full moon.
As Candy gazed at the waterfall the tall African was behind her and draped an arm over her shoulder and the other around her waist. Again, as at the dance, she felt his hardening manhood rub against her but she was high and almost hypnotized by the moment. She glanced at the shine of his Rolex as his hand slowly slid back up to her neck slightly touching her breast. His deep melodic voice was soothing as he told her of his homeland and how they wanted to bond with people of other races and cultures. He made her feel like a woman in that he invited her response and listened to her views. Afolabi began humming a tribal tune as he softly held her shoulders swaying her slowly.
"You are so lovely, my blonde princess." How do you feel" "I feel strange yet mesmerized by the beauty of the small waterfall and the cool night air," she replied. The tall African could no longer contain himself. He slowly slid his hand into her blouse lightly fondling her breast. Candy calmly protested, "no, please don't. I want to just enjoy being out here," she nervously spoke. "And indeed you will my little girl. Just pretend you are in the jungle and are being held captive by a black African warrior. Pretend that you are tied to this tree and that no one can come to your aid." Although a bit scary, Candy felt a macabre excitement. Her virgin body was feeling a titillation she had never felt. The very idea of being "captured" by a masculine black native was eerie yet made her loins feel hot. Just being alone with a charcoal black man gave her goose pimples.
"Mr. Afolabi, I have never felt this strange in my life. I do not even know you....you're a stranger....here I am with a man over twice my age. A very black man at that. Maybe that is why this seems exciting," she nervously stated. "Relax girl, perhaps the herb has opened up a part of you that you never knew. You are no longer a little girl and you may soon feel joys that you would have never imagined," he spoke softly.
She felt his arms holding her tighter and the warm breath on her shoulder as he exhaled. Then, Afolabi told her to close her eyes and just stand there, listening to the sounds of the night as he released her. Candy stood at the base of the tree with her eyes closed and forgot about the outside world while she slowly swayed in the cool African breeze.
Again, slowly the African's gold adorned arm slid over her shoulder as the other held her hip. She felt him press against her back but shockingly it was different. She abruptly turned and there was Afolabi completely naked with a huge black cock erect starring her in the face.
"Oh my God, no. You promised to take care of me but not like this," she cried. You are too big and too black for an innocent young white girl like me to be alone with like this. Especially naked! Please escort me back to my tent now."
"My apologies Miss Candy but as an African tribal man I have never seen a creature so lovely as yourself. From the moment I first saw you, it has been my dream and desire to hold you close and love on you. I will be gentle and make it as bearable as possible until you are no longer a virgin and your juices accept my manhood inside you. Trust me, you will find being loved on by this African a feeling of much joy and sexual pleasure."
"Are you crazy Candy yelled. "I thought you were my friend and counselor. Unlike the other Africans....I thought you respected me. Is this why you brought me to the falls So you can just take advantage of me......Please, let me go. My sister has already succumbed to African flesh. I am just a young girl and do not want a black nigger man touching my private parts. Let alone being naked and invading my body. I'm leaving!"
Candy quickly tried to side step him and run but Afolabi grabbed her by the waist holding her up and pressing her against the smooth bark tree. Then he pulled up her skirt and began removing her panties as she wiggled helplessly. "Oh my gosh, please don't take my clothes off....no, no. Get your black nigger hand out of my panties!" she shouted. Her racial comment infuriated Afolabi but he smiled with his white ivories gleaming while his hand ripped her panties off and then his black fingers found her vagina, "Ow," she yelped as then two fingers opened her canal while she struggled with her back against the tree.
Candy suddenly felt his black finger invasion into her and yelped. "No, no, don't do that....please." It was only a moment after he had pressed his fingers into her that he began guiding his cock between her legs. Her feet were dangling in the air as he held her bottom with one hand and her left leg with the other.
All of a sudden she felt the head of his black cock find her opening and thrust a few inches into her. She squealed. Her hymen was now broken and he slowly pressed more cock into her. Pain shot through her but also an unexpected sexual tingling moment. She yelped out loud. Afolabi whispered, "Shiii, no sounds girl, there could be dangerous animals around and they beckon to sounds in the night. Just place your hands around my neck for support and don't fight me......for your own good.
Candy was scared. Not only about wild animals but mostly about this wild African man beginning to deflower her. His black cock was pressing deeper into her and she tried to hold her self up by pulling on his neck but her arms were getting weak and her weight was slowly impaling her on his big cock. Her back rubbed against the tree as her head bobbled up and down. Now her womanly juices began lubricating his rod and he thrust deeper into her inch by inch.
Thank goodness her father could not see this strange picture in the wild. His petite young flower being vigorously fucked by a big black African with her limp legs dangling above the ground while his shiny black buttocks rigorously humped her against the tree.
Suddenly Candy felt something she had never experienced. Her body begin tingling and her first orgasm erupted as she foamed and slobbered on both sides of her mouth.....her eyes starring into the lusting eyes of her black conqueror as he pushed even more pulsating black cock into her belly. Candy was enjoying this excitement. She would never admit it but being seduced by this African was mind blowing.
She was now completely helpless riding his manhood as he bucked up and down. Her weakened arms fell to her side as he tightly held her against the tree. "Uh, uh, uh, uh, oh, oh, oh, you're splitting me in half she cried....please no more, no more, it feels so good but it is hurting also." She moaned.
Afolabi was about to explode into this little girl and his throbbing black cock became even more rigid. "Girl, get ready to accept my African jism spewing into your belly.....it's about to cum !" "No, please don't cum in me, please, please...no, please don't cum in me....I'm too young, no, no, no, nooooo," she pleaded in a weakened voice. Her pleas made Afolabi even more excited and he pulled her away from the tree and just stood in open air with his muscular black arms holding her frail white body as this little blonde girl was dangling up and down on his black cock while more than half of his 10 inches had finally pushed into her.
Her legs were shaking as they clutched his buttocks for support from the pain. "Oh my God....please take it out....pleaseeee. Your're splitting me in half....it's too big.....Oh, oh, oh, don't, don't, noooo....I can't take this !!! I don't want to be impregnated by a black nigger African. My father would disown me. Oh, please, please, nooooo. Oh my gosh, my gosh. You'r starting to spew into me...please No....No, No, nooooo !!"
Afolabi began shaking and groaning as he began to shout, "I'm cumming, I'm cuming, you is mine now completely, here it comes, here it comes you white beauty...I'm filling you with my African jism....Oh my Lord, oh my Lord I can feel myself spewing into your body. You cums to Africa....Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Like a bolting shot Candy felt him blow his load into her belly and again she erupted in orgasm as her head tilted back and the night stars became blurred from being split on African cock. His cum filled her so that it began sliding down her legs and soon dripped from her ankles. This was indeed a strange sight. Here was a huge black man with a small white girl impaled on his black cock as she became limp, silent and motionless. With his black hands holding her bottom and back,
Afolabi then carried her back to his hutch while his softened but still large cock remained buried inside her. Seduced and impaled on African cock she had surrendered as her weakened arms again held his neck and her small white legs wrapped around his black waist for support.
Her father would have been horrified at this sight. Seeing the apple of his eye impaled and pumped up and down on a throbbing jet- black cock while the African sucked on her lips. Her small body being pressed against a 6'5" muscular black African as her glossed over turquoise eyes succumbed to the invasion of her virgin body. Then, straddling him for support, with his cock still inside of her, being hurried to the privacy of his hutch. He would be even more infuriated had he listened to her initial sounds of protest replaced by mixed moans comprised of pain and pleasure.
Her father would soon see this in person after the entire family became Africanized. Horrifying, as it may seem, he would prosper by the surrender of his loved ones to African lust only to be later addressed.
Candy was now Africanized and when they arrived at his hutch he laid her on his bed. Afolabi slid her top off, exposing her young breasts and stood there just admiring the young white body of this small beautiful young blonde creature. Viciously black fucked, Candy was weak along with being very tired. She fell asleep. Afolabi let her sleep for some time as he rested and smoked some more Jambi. He sat there starring at this so lovely and petite blonde girl and as his large black manhood slowly began stiffening again.
After smoking some more herb, Afolabi's black cock became rock hard again. This is what he had previously paid for but never in his wildest dreams imagined that such a gorgeous young white creature would be his.
She was awakened when the naked black African laid himself on top of her. "Please, not again," she pleaded. "No, no, please don't put your black nigger dick in me again...I'm very sore and tired. How can I face my father" "Hush my little white child," Afolabi interrupted. "Do as I tell you girl! Open those small white legs while I rub some jelly in you so you can take all of me, as you refer to as nigger dick, in your body. "Okay, now lay back on the mat. I'll go easy on you until your juices are flowing." Again, Candy was scarred as this large black man held her small legs up and guided his cock into her vagina. He then held her wrists above her head with one hand as he gazed into her wide opened eyes. His other hand held her rear. "Please take it out before you cum in me again, please!" she muttered. "Girl, just lay there while I fill you with my black manhood. Oh, my God, Girl...you feel so tight....soooo good, Ahhhh."
As Afolabi began to stroke, he laid his chest on her small body. No one could have seen this tiny girl if looking from above. This black African was that big. All one could see was a charcoal body as his black buttocks was began to move up and down while small white legs appeared at times as they quivered in the air.
Gasping as her vagina was being stretched by his black pulsating vein hardened cock, her eyes opened wide when his head curled downward kissing and sucking on her mouth with his tongue in her throat. Again, his black body began shaking and then started rigorously pumping as his black arms griped her tight. Candy knew that he was going to unleash his sperm into her again but she was helpless. She could not move from his grip. Finally, surrendering to his lust Candy's legs rose and started shaking in the air as her body began jolting from a huge orgasm. Her legs wrapped around his black buttocks opening herself up. She was now completely giving herself to being split and fucked again under this sweaty black African. Most of his 10" black cock was in her. Her arms tightly griped his black waist as she tilted her head to the side under his chest and starred at the lamp glow on the hut floor.
With a sudden jolt she felt his cock swell and harden even more as the black African's cock erupted filling her with ounces of African cum. Her eyes grew wide and rolled back. Her mouth was open again as saliva poured from her mouth. Her arms that had clutched his black waist were exhausted and fell to her sides and her legs slowly slid to rest on the grass mat below. She was full of African spunk and the remaining sperm poured from between her legs as the satisfied African pulled his black cum dripping cock from between her thighs. He slowly rolled over and lay beside her.
Candy was truly "Africanized" that night. Little did she know that she would eventually be a willing slave to black cock.....and black bred on African sperm. As for now, she was owned by Afolabi, but eventually even larger black cocks would seek her out in the weeks following her return home. Her father would go ballistic at first but then would be saddled with the threat of losing his high paying job and even his life. He would soon cave in and reluctantly surrender his girls to African lust. The anger would boil inside him as he would watch a limo drive up to their home and several black suitors would come to the door. His daughter's small white hands being held by a large black hand and led to the limo, being caressed, groped while being pulled into the vehicle. He would then hear their squeals of delight as black hands began removing the girl's clothes and then silence as the limo drove away. He knew that before they arrived to their destination there would be black cocks between their young white legs and filled with more African spunk. He knew, yet could not or wouldn't do anything about it.
The next day:
Early the next morning, the youngest of the family, the 18 year- old blonde twins, Shawn and Tia, finished an early breakfast and were summoned to the pavilion. They were excitingly surprised to learn that they were chosen to be guests on an African safari. They were told it was with the approval of their older sister, Dana, but it was not. Dana and Candy were not aware that the twins were going to be taken on a so called "safari trip". This was not even approved by their parents but apparently was planned by the African camp leader after a large sum of money had changed hands.
Not surprisingly, their guides were three very black Africans along with a driver. Young Shawn was coaxed into the safari limo along with his young sister, Tia. They were innocently exited about their unexpected safari trip as they boarded the vehicle. The black Africans sat the two in different row seats. Tia was seated in the rear seat behind a tinted glass barrier with an African sitting on each side while Shawn was placed in the second row seat with another African. Little did Shawn know that this black African was a pedophile and that this black African had never been this close to a white boy.....at least not until now. Neither, Shawn or his twin sister knew what African lust was. They had no idea as to the possible dark dangers when young white teens are exposed to being alone with black Africans in the absence of their parents....especially in the wilds.
The black African's arm was draped around Shawn's shoulder while his bracelet adorned wrist lightly rested on the boy's knee. The deep dark skin of the 28 year-old African was in stark contrast to the blonde haired, blue eyed and creamy white skin of Shawn. This young and naďve lad innocently thought that this black man was just being friendly. The African was friendly indeed, but also excited sitting next to such a pretty morsel as young Shawn. The African was anxious in anticipation to see the retreat gates disappear in the rear view mirror and eager with excitement to make the boy's safari trip pleasurable to both of them.
Meanwhile, their sister, Dana, who had been looking for them at the pavilion had approached the exit gate as the vehicle was leaving. She quickly asked one of the guards, "who is that in the limo, sir" "It is several guides taking a pair of twins on a safari for the day," he replied. "Wait! Call them back, please. They do not have permission to do that," Dana shouted with anger. "I'm sorry young lady but they have no communication device with them. Do not worry, they will be back before dark."
The limo disappeared behind a dusty road as Dana's stomach began to feel sick. "Oh my God, oh my God, please no" she moaned.
Although this story did not truly end here, it will end due to the ages of those involved. Personally, I do not approve of stories containing descriptive sexual exploitation of minors. Frankly, I abhor it. We see enough in various medias. These horrendous practices may seem like fantasy to many people but you only have to do a little research into what has and is going on in certain countries within the African continent. There is no age limit when it comes to sexual predators and unfortunately, that is true in just about every country on this planet. Some cultures make it more practiced in certain countries and that is third and fourth world mentality. It is sad but true.

THE warm and effusive tributes paid to Margo MacDonald tell their own story - Holyrood will be greatly diminished without her.
The Lothians MSP was a true champion of the Scottish Parliament as an institution in its own right.
She was fiercely protective of its reputation as a forum for sensible debate and considered law-making and never hid her exasperation when she felt it was being used merely as a platform for party politics or point-scoring.

As an Independent, with close friends and allies across the political divide, it was easier for her to stand aloof from the party system.
However, she remained determined to set an example as a parliamentarian.
Indeed, she came to be seen by many as the conscience of the parliament.
She took up the role when she was first elected, becoming a leading critic of the over-budget Holyrood building project.
Throughout her time her love for and respect of Holyrood was demonstrated by her unrivalled understanding of standing orders, the rule book governing parliamentary procedure.
And perceived infringements would invariably provoke an awkward point of order ahead of decision time at 5pm.
Margo also conducted most of her day-to-day business in the parliament, preferring to meet fellow MSPs, constituents and expert witnesses attending committees in her room or in the bar. Working mainly from parliament rather than an expensive rented high street office ensured she was usually at or near the bottom of the annual expenses league table.
The practice also gave the bar its affectionate nickname: Margo's. That and her occasional visits for a glass of cava with colleagues and journalists.
Among the many tributes yesterday, Holyrood's Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick recognised her particular contribution to the parliament over 15 years.
"She was a sparkling jewel in the Scottish Parliament, her contributions were incisive, intelligent and always got to the heart of the issue under discussion," she said.

Behind every box office hit is a Hollywood mogul… In The Movies Superstar Edition, that mogul is you.
Starting out at the dawn of cinema, it's up to you to build your studio from an empty lot into a glittering Hollywood empire by producing must-see blockbusters, creating huge stars and giving the movie-going public exactly what they want to see. It's not all award-parties though… you'll need to balance spiralling budgets, fierce competition, and worst of all, actors' egos if you want to make it to the top.
When it's time to start the cameras rolling, settle into the director's chair! The Movies comes packed with tools to help you write and direct your own films. Once you've polished your films to perfection, you can upload them to YouTube and show the world your best shots.
Included in the Superstar Edition is the Stunts & Effects expansion pack, which adds more sets, costumes, props, vehicles and backdrops for your virtual productions, along with a new employee type: the stuntman, and a host of new creative options with which to dazzle the audience.
Welcome to the dream factory, baby!
Key Features:
Call the shots in Tinseltown – Design and run your own studio, from the early days of cinema through to the present day and beyond.
From pitch to premiere – Take full creative control of your movies. Write the scripts, direct them yourself and then edit your movie to perfection.

The Movies is a fairly unique game, even after the several years now since it was first released. The game takes a Sims type approach, but puts you in control of one movie studio and it's production. The game starts in the early days on cinema (black and white, silent, etc.) and progressively moves on from there. You will build a studio, hire actors, directors, set builders, etc. and then use them to make short movies to be released and rated. The main point of the game is competition for a better star rating than the other studios. The movie maker and Superstar edition of this version of the game offer some intriguing options. The stock movie making mechanic in the storyline is fairly basic, but you can use it outside of the main game to put together your own short films. It's surprisingly robust for those wanting to delve into it. As part of the Superstar edition you get a significant upgrade it available sets and items for making those movies. The game runs well, and looks the part for those used to games like the already mentioned Sims, Rollercoaster Tycoon, etc. This is definitely a cool game for "tycoon" game fans, and can be pretty addicting running all the facets of the studio. Well worth a play through.

All hands work together to make annual holiday meals happen
by Jennie Zeitler, Staff Writer
The Don and Rita Wensmann family of rural Elmdale grew up strong with 17 siblings. Now with 53 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren, the crowd is huge at holiday time.
The year that the Elmdale Community Center was built, the Wensmanns began holding their family gatherings there. They meet at the Center three times a year — for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
"The kitchen is big enough that everyone can work together," said Cindy Wensmann. "Everyone brings something to share. There is room for everybody to sit at the table at one time."
Don is a Korean War veteran. Rita's brother was in Don's unit and introduced them.
The Wensmann family was established in 1953 when they married and purchased a 160-acre dairy farm near Elmdale with 10 milking cows and three brood sows.
Don used a gas-powered milker while growing up near Freeport. Milking was done by hand for the first few months in Elmdale before they got an electric milker.
"Our first cream check was $90," Don said. "We had a $500 mortgage payment every six months."
"Mom cried and wondered what they were going to do," Cindy said.
"I told her, 'We have to trust in the Lord,'" said Don.
Soon, they started selling milk too and the checks got bigger. They were never late with a mortgage payment.
Those first three brood sows provided 38 little pigs, which were sold for $5 each.
"That was bigger than the milk check," Don said.
But 1958 came along — a dry year. When Don was afraid they might lose the farm, he got a job with Frigidaire in St. Cloud. He worked there for three years while farming at the same time.
"I was laid off during the summer," he said. "Then there was more time for farming."
In 1964, they acquired a bulk milk tank.
"After that, things started to turn around pretty good," said Don.
In 1969, a Jack Frost 15,000-chicken barn was built. An addition was made to the dairy barn in 1979.
The farm was taken over by Greg in 1991 and has grown to 347 acres. with 295 acres tillable.
Rita died in 2002, about the time the Elmdale Community Center was built. With the family continuing to grow, it just made sense to move the festivities there. There are 13 siblings still living.
To prepare for the Christmas event, Brenda Wensmann Yorek started hosting a popcorn ball-making party at her home three years ago.
"This year, we made up 96 gift bags for Dad to give to the grandkids and great-grandkids," she said. "Dad came too, to supervise and taste test.
Family members are very pleased that everyone gets along so well and nearly everyone makes the effort to be at the gatherings.
"It's good seeing everyone get together — that makes me happy" Don said.
"Dad's just so proud of how everyone gets along," said Cindy. "Growing up, we never got along as good as we do now."
"It's been a lot of fun getting together," said Greg. "It's amazing how we all get along."
The Wensmanns get together other times of the year as well, with the girls having "sister gatherings" and the boys going whitewater rafting or four-wheeling together.
Granddaughter Wendy Fischer started a Wensmann family Facebook page where family members can share stories and photos.
It all points to what makes Don happiest — seeing "all hands working together."
Perhaps one of the best examples of the family working together happened in February 1973, when Marvin stopped breathing one night.
The incident was put down on paper by Rita, something that just came to light recently when a page in her handwriting was found.
While Don and Rita were gone one evening, Marvin was coughing and suddenly stopped breathing. Mark, who shared a bedroom with him, started screaming for help. Marvin was taken downstairs where Ken performed CPR and Wayne did mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
"Doris (called) the ambulance," wrote Rita. "They were asking too many question to suit her, so she told them to forget it and they (would) bring him in themselves. The (other) kids were still screaming so she told them, 'Instead of screaming, get in the bedroom and start praying.'"
About halfway to town Marvin began breathing again and recovered fully.
"Our children need to be recognized for a wonderful good job they did in a very frightening situation," Rita wrote.

luv luv luv it!i have used this nearly every day for the last year. since reaching my early forties i have had to stop using foundation and powder, which makes me cringe- super oily tzone w/ some rosacea but rest of my face has gotten much drier. foundation and powder for oily or combo skin is great for t zone and VERY bad for drier areas as it accentuates them and also emphasizes tiny wrinkles :( this product ...read morefeels good-light so it doesn't feel like your face even has product on it, doesn't break me out, doesn't emphasize wrinkles, doesn't make my face shiny. it does dry fast so it's best to put it on small amounts working it all around your face in increments. after it dries it leaves a beautiful dewy glow which i love. i do have to blot the tzone after a few hours, which is pretty normal with a super oily tzone. this is not a good product if you need coverage as it is very lightly tinted. i have tried building it up and it will cover more when layered, but it just doesn't look good when layered. it is a moisturizer, not a foundation. i love it because it's tinted enough to even out my skin a bit and i love the dewy glow it gives me! — 5 years, 7 months agorebecca_moran_watson | 8 reviews
Perfect for Summer!It is a small bottle but that's deceiving. It goes a really long way! It glides on and blends well. It super light on your skin and if you can find your tone it's awesome! — 6 years, 2 months agoMeagan.h.beautyfanatic | 81 reviews

Love this stuff!I've got pretty clear skin but it's not always totally evenly toned. I don't really like heavy foundations and light powders don't even out my skin enough. This product was like a gift from the Gods! It is fabulous and does exactly what it needs to. It's light and moisturizing but has enough color to even me out. Plus I love the smell (: Only con is that there are only a few shades and the one ...read moreI chose (medium) is a little orange-y for my golden tanned Native American skin. But it isn't a lot so it's not all that noticeable. — 6 years, 7 months agoseasarah | 11 reviews
one of my favesI just tried this out and was pleasantly surprised. It works great as a moisturizer with the bonus of making your skin look more balanced and even. I didn't really need a concealer after using it. I just put it on before using my powder and it made my skin look really natural, smooth and even. The bottle is small which worried me but a little bit goes farther than I expected and for the price of a dollar, I'll DEFINITELY buy this product again! — 6 years, 8 months agokimw37 | 8 reviews

Seems pretty goodI havent tried this on my face yet, just sampled it quickly when I got it. I would like to use this instead of my foundation (make up for ever hd line) on days where I dont feel like doing EVERYTHING. The color seemed to match when I spot sampled it, dont know if I am going to like the coverage or not. We will see!! But so far, for a buck, it might do the job as a light...no makeup look but some coverage. — 8 years, 4 months agoprncss042304 | 68 reviews

color selection not goodWhat did I expect for $1? I feel that the product is OK, but the color is totally off. The short time I wore it, I appreciated the coverage and product feel. Although, as I stated before the "light" was not exactly light, more like a medium shade. If your skintone is quite light you may not be able to match this product. Overall, decent product for the price. — 8 years, 5 months agocherilou | 7 reviews
light and lovelythis is my favorite tinted moisturizer it work well on my light skin and it is great for a light coverage and it great for the summer when less is more plus it has spf 15 and it easy to put on and it last a long time and how wrong can you go for a buck this is a must in my makeup bag . — 8 years, 5 months agomidnightdragon | 15 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: OverviewBack to top No Oodles - Shirataki Noodles, Angel Hair Pasta - 8 oz. Item# :110106UPC# :855658002018 Brand:No Oodles Size/Form:8 oz. Ship Weight:0.65 No Oodles - Shirataki Noodles, Angel Hair Pasta - 8 oz. (227g) No Oodles Shirataki Noodles, Angel Hair Pasta. As we all know, pasta and noodles are made of starch, so they have calories. But there is an exception - NoOodle is made from high-fiber yam flour and water. As you are most probably aware, soluble fiber and water have no calories, thus NoOodle is entirely devoid of calories. NoOodle is the healthy alternative. No Oodles - Shirataki Noodles, Angel Hair Pasta Contains: No Calories No Fat No Net Carbs No Soy No Gluten All Natural No Guilt Top 10 Benefits Zero calories -the glucomannan in NoOodle contributes no calories and when consumed as part of a meal reduces the net caloric content of the meal. The calories come from what else one puts on the noodles. Lowers calorie uptake -the glucomannan in NoOodle increases the viscosity of the gastro-intestinal content and reduces rate of food (calories, fat, cholesterol, sugar) absorption in the small intestine. The net effect of consuming a meal with NoOodle is that one absorbs less calories from the other foods eaten with it. Promotes satiety - the glucomannan in NoOodle is made up largely of water which fills one up quickly giving the feeling of satisfaction. One tends to eat less when NoOodle is part of the meal. Delays hunger -the glucomannan in NoOodle increases the viscosity of gastro-intestinal content and extends the feeling of fullness so one doesn't feel hungry for an extended period of time. Modulates glucose spikes -the glucomannan in NoOodle reduces the rate of glucose absorption in the small intestine and prevents blood glucose from spiking (clinically proven to be more effective than xanthan gum and psyllium). Stirring in NoOodles into ice cream and parfaits helps one enjoy treats with less absorption of sugar. Modulates insulin surges -the glucomannan in NoOodle, by slowing glucose uptake in the small intestine, reduces the body's need for insulin. Cholesterol reducing agent -the glucomannan in NoOodle, by virtue of its viscosity, traps the cholesterol from foods and also the cholesterol released by the body and prevents it from being re-absorbed. A meal containing NoOodle in addition to flushing out cholesterol from the GI tract will also contribute to reducing cholesterol in the blood cholesterol. Cholesterol reduction is further enhanced when glucomannan is combined with other cholesterol reducing agents such as plant sterols and chitosan. Regularity / laxative effect -glucomannan is a dietary fiber and prevents constipation by increasing bulk in the colon without the discomfort associated with most other dietary fibers. Anti-inflammatory activity -although the mechanism is still being investigated, the positive effect of glucomannan on skin inflammation is well known among its users. For centuries NoOodle like products have been part of Eastern traditional medicine. Prebiotic activity - serves as food for bacteria in the colon and helps enhance immunity. Foods that promote the growth of healthy bacteria have innumerable health benefits for people of all ages and genders. The Story of the NoOodle For centuries, noodles derived from yam plants have been embraced by Asian cultures as a high fiber, low calorie dietary staple. Inspired by an on-going commitment to serving healthy cuisine, and in response to a growing customer demand for healthy menu items, restaurant owner and self-taught Chef Terri Rogers, began serving NoOodle at Lincolnshire Gourmet, her neighborhood gourmet bistro located in Highland Park, Illinois. What began as an alternative menu offering at a neighborhood everyday gourmet eatery, quickly escalated into a must-have mainstay. As word of the naturally delicious NoOodle-based culinary creations spread, restaurant sales skyrocketed. Encouraged by her loyal patrons, proprietor and self-taught chef, Terri Rogers, founded the NoOodle Company to manufacture and distribute a variety of packaged NoOodle products to restaurants and retailers throughout the United States. Today, NoOodle is available at select food service establishments and retail outlets, and can be purchased online at our store.

President Enrique Pena Nieto opened his first state-of-the-nation address Monday by praising the passage of a key education reform just hours earlier.
The House of Deputies voted in the middle of the night to approve mandatory teacher evaluations, despite teacher protests that have snarled Mexico City over the past week.
"This is an important and transcendental step," he said. "Our dilemma had been whether to continue to stagnate or to allow the state to recover the leadership and transform and improve the quality of education."
The Senate still needs to approve the bill, which calls for mandatory assessment of teachers to maintain their jobs and to receive promotions. Teachers can inherit their positions under the current system.
The bill approved by the House of Deputies is a slightly weakened version of Pena Nieto's proposal, which sought to reassert government control over an education system where hiring and promotion was almost entirely in the hands of teachers' unions.
The reform sets up a competitive examination system for hiring and requires teachers to pass regular evaluations in order to remain in the classroom.
But last-minute concessions to a dissident teachers' union reserves new positions for graduates of union-controlled teacher training schools for the next two years and allows teachers who fail evaluations to file appeals through the existing civil service system.
The government proposal would have put the test-based hiring system in place immediately, and not allowed appeals after repeated failures of teacher evaluations.
Independent education advocates praised the passage of the proposal as a good first step after decades of union control of the schools, but said the measure didn't go far enough to establish a rigorous nationwide system of teacher training and promotion.
They said they worried that further reforms could stall as the government pushes to change Mexico's tax regime and allow private investment in the state oil company.
Associated Press writer Michael Weissenstein contributed to this report.

Each year Maybelline creates a limited edition calendar featuring crazy concepts and wild makeup. This year the cosmetic brand teamed up with photographer Kenneth Willardt to produce some very vibrant images. Make sure you head over to Kenneth's commercial section of his website to view a bunch of the images. His ability to light a set is worth taking note as well as the overall production they put into these images.

looks like a crazy fun shoot...
I was on set for this shoot having a quick meeting with Kenneth between shots, and let me tell you this man is a genius when it comes to lighting. What you saw on the techs monitor is basically what you see once the images where retouched. The set what something to behold. On the largest stage at Pier59 studios he had 4 closed sets going at once. About 4 42" LCD TV showing a selection of images from the current setup being edited live by the digital tech, and a huge Projection floating above the set with the same video feed. A DJ was on set as well to keep things lively. The entire shoot was shot with Profoto, and I saw a mix of video cameras from 5DMK II to large ENG cameras doing the BTS. Kenneth Paints with light like very few can. Thanks F-Stoppers for posting this.

"Quality Bakery Equipment Since 1960"
Numerous customer requests for an enhanced Rounder Machine capable of producing large rounds without damaging the dough skin, led to more than two years of research and development of our BM42 Boule Moulder.
boule pronounced (boÌ), (i.e. Tool) n. A round loaf of baked bread.
Unlike a traditional rounder, the BM42 Boule Moulder tightly moulds the dough pieces by stretching the gluten structure in one direction exactly as done by a skilled baker. We choose to call our moulder a Boule Moulder because of several significant differences between making a round dough ball and making a tightly moulded boule.
The moulding process of the BM42 is firm but gently. This process refines the crumb and strengthens the gluten structure without damaging the dough and in the process, creates a seam at the bottom of the boule, which is placed down on the pan. The unique and separate controls for stroke, rotation and oscillation on the BM42, kneads the dough from 3 to 75 times in a single pass. The resulting boules will exhibit better proofing and superior oven jump that are clearly seen in our comparison photographs.
Making Boules
Mould round Old World Rustic Breads, Rye, Sourdough, Multi-grain, Specialty Breads and high hydration dough with fruits, cheese and honey. With unique and separate controls for stroke, rotation and kneading, the BM-42 kneads your dough from 3 to 75 times in a single pass!
|A sliced artisan boule made from 78% hydration dough shows the excellent crumb structure and great volume.
|Real San Francisco Sourdough Boules can made with the BM-42 Boule Moulder. The high hydration sour dough was long fermented over 18 hours and scaled in a low stress dividing system. The results were indistinguishable compared to those made by the hands of the Master Baker. These boules were produced at a rate of 30 per minute! Model: BM-42 Boule Moulder
More examples of sourdough and multigrain boules show the versatility of the BM-42 Boule Moulder.
Moulding Traditional Hand Formed Rounds
Making round loaves is easy with the BM-42 Boule Moulder. Simply place scaled dough into the moulder and make beautiful traditional white loaves like these. The rounding action is designed for Old World Rustic Breads, Rye, Sourdough, Multi-grain and Specialty Breads.
|Kneads your dough from 6 to 75 times in a single pass! Honey Whole wheat rounds (37 oz.) are tightly moulded by stretching the gluten structure in one direction exactly as done by a skilled baker.
You now have the time to apply your artistic flair and produce signature products that make you standout from your competitors.

As we are through the first two games of each conference final, some story lines are starting to become clear. While it was predicted in this space that both series would be lengthy, it appears that one series may be over before it really started while the other one has the feel of a series set to go the distance. Let's take a look at the how both series have evolved to this point.
Western Conference
In the west, through the first two games, it is very apparent who the better team has been. The Los Angeles Kings went into Phoenix and basically did whatever they wanted against their Pacific division rivals. The Kings have been amazingly dominant on the road, and in this series, that theme continued as Los Angeles heads home to Staples Center with a 2-0 series lead. As one watched the first two games, they began to wonder if Phoenix had an answer for anything the Kings were doing, but most importantly, Phoenix has had no answer for the Kings fore-check.
The Coyotes have not done themselves any favors either, especially in game two. Already down a game in the series, Coyotes captain Shane Doan took a major penalty for boarding when he hit Trevor Lewis from behind with just under five minutes left in the second period. It didn't get any easier for the Coyotes when former Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Mike Smith took a slashing penalty. That call was not as costly due to a bad diving call to even things up.
Things didn't get any better for the home team in the third as alternate captain Martin Hanzil got shown the door for a boarding penalty. That was particularly costly as Hanzil will miss game three with a one game suspension.
The Coyotes are in a particularly bad spot heading into Staples Center for games three and four. It appears Los Angeles is in their heads, and more specifically, in Mike Smiths head. At times it has seemed his main concern has been getting a piece of whatever King is close to his crease as opposed to stopping pucks. This has to change in a hurry if Phoenix is going to climb back into the series.
Eastern Conference
Everyone knew going into this series that nothing would come easy, and that is exactly how the Eastern Conference Final is starting to shape up after the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils split the first two games of the series at Madison Square Garden.
If the first two games of the series are any indication of how the next five will go, this is going to be fun to watch.
Between complaints about shot blocking, alleged suggestions of shooting pucks at heads, and a penalty box door that refused to open or close mid game, we already have had more craziness in this series than any other in the postseason.
The Rangers took game one with ease at the strength of Henrik Lundqvist and their shot blocking to win 3-0. Game two saw the Devils push back, as they were the better team throughout. These are the types of ebbs and flows that are to be expected in a series like this. When one team pushes, the other team pushes back.
Everything in this series will be earned, and that is what makes this exciting. Not to mention the off the ice comedy of the John Tortorella press conferences, which are always good for a laugh or two.
Looking ahead to game three, one would think it's the Rangers turn to be the team to push back as the series shifts back to Newark. Obviously, game three in this series is a big one, and with both teams proving already they prepared to leave everything on the ice, it should make for an interesting 60 minutes of hockey.

Rain of Gore for extra punishment against Life Gain players.

DaitokujiAmnael I like the card, I just wish it did something else as well! If the opponent's don't have anything to do with life gain, then its just sort of dead in my hand. Definitely a sideboard card if I know who I'm playing against!

True, but the odds of getting it are slim anyway. If not that, try Erebos, God of the Dead and Purphoros, God of the Forge .

Not sure if you're still looking for a spot for No Mercy, but imo Lux Cannon doesn't look like it'll be missed :p Furnace of Rath is sorta on-theme, and Braid of Fire could let you do things with your commander on your upkeep
August 26, 2015 11:12 a.m.
I like Lux Cannon because its one of the only ways I can remove pesky permanents like enchantments in Red and Black.
August 26, 2015 1:56 p.m.
That's true, R/B don't have very reliable ways of dealing with enchantments (Chaos Warp is about as good as it gets). It's just Lux Cannon isn't very good/reliable without abusing untap/counter shenanigans. At best, you can remove a pesky enchantment on the 4th turn after playing the Cannon, and the whole time it's been sitting there waiting to be blown up.
I just think the slot might be better suited for a card that works better with the aggressive theme/colours of the deck, rather than a slow defensive play. For the same CMC you could play Whip of Erebos, for instance, or the Furnace of Rath I mentioned previously. Red and Black are good at making your opponent lose, not so much about stopping them from winning.
Now this is your deck and obviously if you're finding Lux Cannon to be of use, then leave it in. Just consider that maybe there are more effective cards for the space in your deck.

I like your forum here and would love to add it to the Newscast theme and other themes.
What are you using? Did you build it yourself?
How easily did it integrate with the rest of the site?
Can it be controlled whereby I have to login before I can even see the forum?
I would be interested in purchasing a template of some sort from you.
Kriesi uses the bbpress forum software. It's from the same developers lokie wordpress and can share some informations with your wordpress database (i.e. user information). The disadvantage is that it doesn't integrate well with your themes. At the moment there's no plugin which allows you to simple integrate the forum on your site. The developer claim that they're working on a better wordpress integration.
Website: http://bbpress.org/
I run a forum myself with WordPress on my website – I use the Simple:Press forum software which integrates nicely with WordPress and which has more features than bbpress. You can choose a template of your site where the forum shouls appear and the forum integrates well in your website layout. The disadvantage is that it's more complex than bbpress and there're only a handful of skins – the "structered" skin looks best in my eyes. Simple:Press community is alive and it receives updates every 2 or 3 weeks.

I had a rhinoplsty 2 yrs ago. I had a thick nose with very broad bridges for ma face & round tip. The surgeon said that he would sharpen my nose. But now i find my nose very unnatural and unproportionate as compared to b'fore. And he razed smthing from the side walls as a result, the nose shrinked frm both sides. Though it is sharp but bridges ends now look more broad and unnatural. I have a breathing prob too as some flesh frm both sides have com down obstructing the air while breathing. Help plz
After Rhinoplasty, Nose Side Walls Problem? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Rhinoplasty Collapse and Widened Nose
A revision rhinoplasty would be in order to correct both your nasal valve collapse and address your widened nose. It would be very helpful to know what was done in the previous operation.
Skilfully done revision rhinoplasty usually works.
It does look like you need a revision. I recommend seeing two experienced plastic surgeons for consultations.
Asian - Ethnic Rhinoplasty
From the pics, it looks like you still have an amorphous, bulbous tip with wide nostrils. You may also have nasal valve collapse. Find a surgeon that has a lot of experience with ethnic rhinoplasty. See link below.

It's difficult to diagnose revision rhinoplasty problems from a photo
The photos posted certainly show some issues. However, you also mention breathing problems as well. To really get an educated opinion on what needs to be done to improve both the appearance and function of your nose you should see a revision rhinoplasty specialist. Someone really needs to touch and look inside your nose for a proper diagnosis and to make suggest a reasonable plan.
Dear Kajol,
The pictures you posted are small and difficult to see all the details. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon or ENT surgeon to address your breathing issues and poor cosmesis from your rhinoplasty. You may need spreader grafts.

Dear Barb's Army,
Just a quick update on Barb's sister Dianne, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. Dianne had a double mastectomy. The left breast had cancer but the sentinal node is CLEAR. The right breast had pre-cancer, so it was a good decision to take that out as well. Dianne will NOT need chemotherapy or radiation as the cancer was caught VERY early. Dianne was able to have the drains removed after 8 days post op. She continues to rest, but she has more freedom of movement without the drains. Thank you for the prayers!
On another note, Sacramento had its first ever Purple Stride event. There were over 300 people on a cold day walking in Elk Grove Park. Barbstrong had 15 walkers and raised $800 for pancreatic cancer research. I was so proud to be a part of such a wonderful event in my own backyard! A big thank you to my wonderful friends and family who came out to support Barb's memory. The favorite sign we made said,"Cancer Sucks!" WE WILL FIND A CURE!
Love to all, MK
Dear Family and Friends of Barb,
I wanted everyone who was so supportive of Barb to pray for her sister Dianne (Doc). She was diagnosed on Monday, September 26th with breast cancer. The doctor thinks they caught it early, so that is very good news. Scott Metcalf has set up a website to go to for information on Dianne…..just like we did for Barb. I will do the postings when there is news to tell. The site is Peranich.com. It is up and running and Dave has done a wonderful first post with a complete update. Thank you for the prayers for Dianne, her husband Dave, and their 3 girls.
There is a part of me that can't believe we are doing this again, but we are a strong family and will be there to support Dianne! Now we will all wear purple AND pink!
God Bless and Love to All, MK
I have never posted anything on the website. I've thought about trying to do so on numerous occasions but finding the word to express my feelings has been difficult.
I miss my wife. We faced many challenges in our years together, especially toward the end, but we had a great life. We were blessed with two beautiful boys who kept us on our toes and a love that sustained us over the years. We always had the support of our loved ones who stood by us and supported us. It has been a year and I know some of you are thinking about Barb and what a wonderful person she was. This day isn't any different for the boys and I. EVERYDAY we wake up and face the reality that Barb is gone. We get ourselves together and do our best to live the day well, as Barb would want for us.

If I could ask one thing of you today, when you think of Barb, please celebrate her life by sharing a happy, even fun moment together. Talk and laugh. Barb loved to TALK and laugh and she would appreciate the shared laughter of her loved ones as they exchange stories of the great times. We'll grieve because we love her and miss her, but don't forget to celebrate her life.
I'd like to especially thank those who have helped us to continue on in our daily lives. Matt and Jimmy are always busy swimming, golfing and growing up and I don't know what we'd do without the efforts of those who lend us a hand on a daily basis, helping us get where we need to be and make sure we have ourselves put together. I'd also like to take the chance to thank everyone, especially those who offered daily support to us through the final days of Barb's life. We will continue to work together. Matt, Jimmy and I carry with us your ongoing words of encouragement, kindness and love, as well as the blessed memory of Barb, in our hearts.
Finally, I thank Barb for having been a part of my life. I love you and will miss you always.
Dear Family and Friends,
Matt and Jimmy came out to California for much of June and July.
Matt began his journey at Camp Kesem, UC Davis. This is a camp for children ages 8-16 who have lost a parent to cancer, or have a parent undergoing cancer treatment. The camp is on the coast between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz and it is FREE for all children. The counselor/camper ratio is one counselor for every 2 campers! Matt had a great time and plans to come back to Camp Kesem UC Davis next year. After camp, Matt went to Newport Beach to be with the Boylan family. Matt went to the beaches with his cousins, fishing, and ultimately down to San Diego for his cousin Andrew's wedding. After the wedding, Matt went to Bakersfield for two days to visit some family and friends, and then went back south to La Canada to visit Aunt Katie and her family. He got sunburned at Manhattan beach and will NEVER forget to put on sunscreen again! He enjoyed going to Universal Studios, especially the parachute tube! He left La Canada and returned to Bakersfield to go with the Finch family (Aunt Joan and Jeff and children) to Shaver Lake for the 4th of July weekend. Matt absolutely loved fishing with his Uncle Jeff and cousin Julianne and caught many trout at Shaver. He learned how to completely gut, scale and cook a fish. He is sure turning into an outdoorsman! After Shaver, Grandma Haller took Matt up to the Link house…that's me and Ken and Jarrett. Matt became Jarrett's younger brother and the two were inseparable. We did a water slide park, jelly belly factory, Giants game, and Matt learned FIFA soccer on a PS3! He is determined to play and defeat Jarrett when they meet again! After a week with us, Matt headed over to his Uncle Dan's for a short visit with his family in Alamo. After two days in Alamo, Matt went to his Aunt Dianne's house in Half Moon Bay. He spent time with his cousins for two more days with a highlight being a trip to Great America! Except for our house that doesn't have a dog any longer, Matt enjoyed meeting all the family dogs! (Our dog Foxy died after 15 years with us.) Phoebe dog was probably the funniest as she ate some of Matt's jelly bellies! Matt traveled back to Iowa on his own, changing planes in Denver! He is a well traveled teenager, as he just turned 13 on July 20th! On to Jimmy…….
Jimmy arrived with Matt in Sacramento, but he went to Camp Kesem at Stanford for two reasons: First, Stanford had more teenagers going to camp (40) and second, Jimmy wants to look at Stanford for college since they have a terrific computer science engineering department. Jimmy is quieter about Camp Kesem than Matt, but he is facebooking with the counselors, so I take that as a good thing! He also said he enjoyed their 3 day backpacking trip. After Camp Kesem, Jimmy went down to Newport Beach with his Boylan family and did the beach stuff with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. He then went to Andrew's wedding on the campus of University of San Diego, but he didn't have much time to tour that campus. Since Jimmy is a Rising Junior, he is starting to look at colleges. After Newport and San Diego, Jimmy came up to Katie's house in La Canada. Katie and I took him on tours of Cal Tech and USC. Jimmy liked Cal Tech, but feels it is too small and he wants the entire college feel. Katie and I were very impressed with the tour and the quality of students. The professor/student ratio is 1 prof for every 3 students. Sheesh, what great professor time each student gets! The next day we started off our drive to USC with fight music blaring from the USC band. Katie and Jimmy both had on USC hats! I tried to wear Duke, but that got nixed! USC has a new admissions building that was amazing. The talk was extremely informative and then we went on our 2 hour tour of the campus. When we went to Cal Tech Jimmy walked with us or behind us. When we went to USC, Jimmy led! He was so excited and Katie was so happy that he truly bonded with her alma mater! Anyway, I know both Barb and Kevin were smiling that day as I had found a dime and a penny touching in Katie's car when we left for that visit! Jimmy will continue to look at other colleges, but I felt USC was on the top of his list at this point. Jimmy wanted to get back to Iowa to start practicing his golf for his high school team, so he left from Southern California when Matt headed up to Bakersfield to go to Shaver Lake.
Jason spent the week with the boys in Newport Beach and San Diego, so that was a nice break from work for him.
That is the latest update. I do want to let everyone know that Dianne and I went to Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Days in Washington, DC in June for 5 days. We lobbied on the HILL for the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act. We wore purple all the time and it was an incredible experience for both of us. We were surrounded by over 500 people advocating for pancreatic cancer research money. WE both plan to go back next year and do it again until this disease receives more money for research and they find a way to slow it down…..or maybe find a CURE! It was great to meet some of the Iowa pancreatic cancer advocates! I believe one of the advocates name was Megan, but she is six years old from Des Moines area and she got up and spoke to our entire group. Not a dry eye in the place when she showed us her picture of her dad parachuting and how she wants to find a cure for pancreatic cancer so no other child has to grow up without a dad dying from this horrible disease! What a trooper she was!
That's it from here. God Bless, Love, MK
PS Sacramento is having our FIRST Purple Stride Walk this year, and I have a team named BARBSTRONG! Barb will always live on in our hearts!
Dear Barb's Army,
I arrived in Iowa last Friday, April 8th and was picked up by Jason's Mom Joyce at the airport. We had a nice chat on the way to Ames. In the time I have been here I have spent time with the boys freeing Jason to start planting. Yeah! I have reconnected with numerous friends of Barb and Jason. I have cried everyday and it is healthy for me to do so. When I first got here I kept expecting Barb to come walking through the door from Mayo or a Cabi show. I asked Matt if he felt that way, and he said in the beginning he did, but not anymore. There have been a few changes to the house, but not many and I continue to feel Barb's presence in every room. Here is an update on Jimmy, Matt and Jason from my eyes and ears:
Jimmy: He has worked hard to bring his grades back up to straight A's. He has two AP classes this year (AP US History and AP Biology). Those tests are coming up in early May. He is signing up for classes for next year and will take 3 AP classes along with some other tough courses offered at Ames High School. He continues to play golf each day after school if the weather allows. He is starting to look at colleges and is considering computer science engineering as his major. He was most impressed with MIT as we searched on the internet. He is coming to California in the summer and will be seeing USD, USC, UCLA, CalTech, Stanford, CAL CSUBakersfied, and anything else that pops up from now until then. He enjoys doing puzzles if I take them out of the cupboard! He is extremely helpful around the house with doing odd jobs for me. He traded cars and drove the huge suburban so I could drive the smaller lexus SUV. He is in an air soft gun club at Iowa state and has events in Iowa monthly. It was a joy to spend time with him!
Matt: He is doing well in school, however, he is working on more effort in his English class. He just tells me he doesn't like to read and do much writing. Yet, when he puts out the effort he does and EXCELLENT job. We read most nights a Rick Riordan book and I will have to pick it up in California as I am hooked! Matt continues to swim 5 days a week. He does not have another meet until June. Each day after school Matt has about 3-4 buddies come over for some basketball in the yard. He seems to get most of his homework done in study hall, so then he has more time to be with his friends until we leave for swimming. He doesn't like most vegetables, so I tried various ways of cooking them to his liking! I even bought V8 fruit juice as it has vegetables in it, too. He has a big glass each morning with breakfast. Matt had a sleep over HERE on Friday night with 3 friends. They were all well behaved and watched a movie, played pool, played a video game and were asleep by about 1pm. They got up at 9am and ate, played basketball and headed to the campus for VISHA…..a fun day at the university with a parade and events. I watch Matt be so social and organize events and I SEE Barb!
Jason: He has hardly been home as it is the SUPER BOWL of farming and those seeds need to get in the ground. He said they had planted over 600 acres already, so that is fabulous. Jason has thanked me numerous times for coming out and helping as that frees him up to make his living. He checks in via text and calling, so I always know what is going on.
I want to thank all of you who have come by to walk and talk and laugh and cry. I miss my sister and you keep her memory alive for me as she loved Iowa and the people she met here so much. The house is certainly quieter without her and that was hard for me until all of you started showing up! I will be back during harvest at some point to spell my Mom. Helen will be here May 1st to help out until all of planting is over.
Barb lives on in all of you! Save your dimes and know that she is watching over all of us! I wore one of her coats the other day when it dropped 40 degrees overnight and there were two dimes in the pocket! I think she might want me to keep that coat! HA! God Bless and keep the faith. Till we meet again, Barb, I love you! MK
Dear Barb's Army,
Well, not sure if anyone checks the site anymore, but on March 9th it was Barb's 6 month anniversary in heaven. I was having a funky day when I realized it was March 9th. I called my Mom (Helen) and we had a good talk and cry. Barb continues to be in our thoughts and prayers. I have asked Barb a few times to welcome others who have died from my church into heaven. I figure by now she is on God's welcoming committee in heaven!
I am heading back to Iowa on April 8th for 10 days to be with Jason and the boys. I hope many of you will stop by and say hello. I have missed all my Iowa friendships!
Dianne and I are going to Washington DC in June for the Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Days. We will meet with Congress people and push for more research funding for pancreatic cancer. Tough sell in these debt laden times, but Doc and I are determined.
Jimmy, Matt and Jason are doing fairly well. Matt has had a little break from swimming and Jimmy can't golf yet, but soon the weather should be better for that. Jimmy receives the Sacrament of Confirmation in May and Helen(Mom) and Dianne will be there for that. I talk with Jason a couple times a month and he says it is still surreal, but he and the boys are "hanging in there." I know what he means because about a month ago I had a big party to go to and I picked up the phone to call Barb to see what I should wear. Then, I stopped myself when I started to dial. I miss my sister and sometimes it really hurts in the core of my being. I know she is at peace. I know she isn't suffering. Yet, that selfish part of me wants her back to laugh with and share kid stories with. It is all part of the grieving process I know! I am so thankful for loving family and friends and my FAITH. Miss you Barb. Love, MK

(I originally posted this as a reply to another diary, but as I want to say more on this subject later I have chosen to make it a separate diary)
I believe our founding fathers would trade what currently masquerades as federalism in this country today for what they had under British rule in a second.
In 1994 we Republicans had the Contract w/ America, but what we need today is a 2nd Declaration of Independence.
Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating anything as ridiculous as succession or the like, but rather a return to the federalism envisioned by our founding fathers.
I believe the common enemy of all Americans is the federal gov't, and a more concerted fight to limit its powers over us is a fight that will unite all Americans.
Republicans could lead this fight, if we're bold enough to take the challenge.
Returning decisions on church and State, abortion, schools, obscenity, and intrastate commerce to State and local gov'ts empowers us all, and if we don't approve of the decisions, we can always move to a State or community that we find more acceptable, and anyways on these issues, I'd rather be a big fish in a small pond, than a small fish in a big pond any day.
Limiting the power of our national government to manipulate and control us on domestic/social issues would also remove a major impetus for its excessive spending and will thus give us all one more reason to support this cause.
