The important stuff is always in the fine print! Please take a moment to consider these 'Terms and Conditions' before engaging The Freelance Pencil.
These conditions have been set out to prevent misunderstandings. In the unlikely event of a dispute between you and The Freelance Pencil, these 'Terms and Conditions' will provide clarification as to what we have both agreed to.
Confirmation and commencement of a project
Before starting a project, I require your written confirmation that you are commissioning me to work on a project for you, and of acceptance of the provided quote. It will be assumed that this confirmation also binds you to these 'Terms and Conditions'.
The contract
If you wish to engage The Freelance Pencil to work for you on behalf of any company, group of individuals or organisation other than yourself or your own company, you confirm that you are authorised to hire The Freelance Pencil on their behalf. If you are a marketing agency engaging The Freelance Pencil for work required for one of your clients, a contract exists only between The Freelance Pencil and the agency, and not between The Freelance Pencil and your agency's client.
The fee
The Freelance Pencil prefers to charge a fixed fee to cover services from start to finish. Unless otherwise agreed, this fee includes attending your briefing (if deemed necessary), writing and submission of the first draft, discussion, evaluation and integration of up to two sets of revisions, and submission of a final draft. Please note that revisions based on a change in the project made after the first draft is submitted may incur an additional fee. In this event you will be notified in advance.
Rush fees for copywriting
Whilst rushing any job is not ideal, The Freelance Pencil understands that urgent copy may be required. If a project is urgent and requires work outside normal hours – a rush-loading fee of up to 50% may apply. The Freelance Pencil reserves the right to seek upfront payment to secure urgent work requirements.
Ongoing or retainer work
Any regular agreed work schedule (e.g. regular newsletters or blogging) requires monthly payment up front. One month's notice of intention to cancel such a work arrangement is required.
Your satisfaction
The Freelance Pencil relies on your satisfaction. If you are not happy with any aspect of The Freelance Pencil's work, please bring this to our attention so that we can resolve your concerns. If after giving adequate opportunity to address the agreed concerns, you feel that the work submitted does not meet your brief, the contract between us will be cancelled, and no payment will be due. This is entirely without prejudice, and no liability or admission of failure or inability to complete the contract on our part is implied. In such circumstances, The Freelance Pencil will retain the copyright for all material written or created for you, and you will undertake to make no use whatsoever of any material in any draft supplied to you. Payment of the original fee becomes payable in full should you subsequently use any supplied material.
You are asked to nominate one person to be the primary contact with The Freelance Pencil. This primary contact is required to consolidate all client revisions and communications with The Freelance Pencil. If you have not submitted revisions within 10 working days of the first draft being delivered, The Freelance Pencil will assume the work is approved and a final invoice will be sent.
Payment terms
Unless previously agreed otherwise, invoices will be sent electronically, and are payable within 7 days of receipt. For projects over $1000, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total amount quoted is required to be paid upfront before work can begin. The final invoice will be issued 10 working days after the first full draft is sent to the client or when final sign off is given (whichever happens first). You are encouraged to contact The Freelance Pencil immediately to discuss payment options should these terms cause any financial difficulty. While regrettable, The Freelance Pencil may exercise the right to recover debt through legal proceedings should the need arise.
The Freelance Pencil will assign copyright of all materials written for you following full payment of all fees due. The Freelance Pencil reserves the right to use selected extracts of supplied work for self-promotion or advertising purposes unless specifically forbidden to do so by a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement.
The Freelance Pencil makes every effort to proofread and fact check any work submitted to you.

GameStop to Close 130 Stores to Make Room for 300-400 Tech Stores
Looks like GameStop is switching teams and going full tech. As part of GameStop and AT&Ts' partnership GameStop will be closing around 130 video game stores to make way for their 300 to 400 tech-centered stores. As a video game enthusiast, this definitely hurts the heart. But fear not, this will only affect about 2% of the company's stores.
The new tech stores will feature brands such as; Simply Mac, Spring Mobile, and Cricket Wireless. It is expected that the change of video game stores to tech stores will bring in an extra $375 million to $425 million in revenue.
The CEO of GameStop, Paul Raines, believes the change will continue to diversify the goods and services that GameStop offers. He sees it as a unique opportunity, if not a profitable one.
It's also been reported that GameStop will begin working on technology of their own, like wearable tech and home technology.
It's also known that GameStop is working on their own mobile application. The application will aid with an easy way to find stores, new trade-in system that allows users to search for trade-in values and discounts, and it will make reserving future games a breeze.
All of these changes to GameStop will certainly increase the profits of the company. But this writer is left wondering, will video games be pushed to the side for newer technologies? GameStop has always been a forerunner for providing games to the masses, if they change direction and focus more on technologies their audience will certainly change. Will that open up an opportunity for another company to swoop in and steal their audience? It seems we cannot know until GameStop decides on who they want to be. Hopefully my local GameStop will not be changed into a tech-center anytime soon.

Are Genetic Factors an Independent Melanoma Risk?
Along with factors such as sunburns in childhood and adolescence, skin pigmentation plays a role in the risk for developing melanoma. As research solidifies the contribution of each factor, the questions remains as to whether skin pigmentation phenotype is an independent risk factor or is more dependent on UV-radiation (UVR). The most important gene affecting pigmentation, which determines each individual's phenotype (and melanoma risk), is the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R). Studies in mice have strengthened the evidence that there is a pathway to melanoma development that is related to the genetic background of an individual rather than a sun-induced pathway. To further tease out the contribution of each risk factor, a case-control study including 991 patients with melanoma was conducted. Gene sequencing for MC1R was done for each participant and the risk factors that represent past sun exposure were documented.
The results showed that melanoma risk was significantly increased with the number of MC1R variants. Those patients with two or more MC1R variants had a 2-fold increased risk of melanoma compared with wild-type carriers even after statistically controlling for past sun exposure.
The authors conclude that although UVR exposure is the most important exogenous risk factor for melanoma, the genetic background of an individual is gaining importance as different genetic variants are identified. Divergent roads to melanoma mean that even with modest levels of sun exposure, individuals with certain MC1R mutations have a high risk of melanoma. The authors note that recent reports reveal a survival benefit in patients with inherited MC1R variants, suggesting that pigmentation genes might not only affect melanoma risk or onset of melanoma but also prognosis.

Round, brown to straw-colored circular spots approximately 1 to 6 inches in diameter that may grow together to form large, irregularly shaped areas. The lesions are white or light tan with reddish-brown margins (except on bluegrass). If untreated, spots will overlap each other. Mycelium may be visible in the morning in all stages of Dollar spot.
Susceptible species: All major grass species. Especially prevalent in bentgrass, fine fescue, bermudagrass, zoysia, and bluegrass.
Favorable Conditions: Dollar spot is favored by temperatures between 70° to 80°. It needs moisture to establish, but once established, it can continue growing even in periods of low moisture.
While primarily used for weed control, our Dandelion Doom is an effective means of treating Dollar Spot. The fungi doesn't like excessive amounts of Iron, the key ingredient in Dandelion Doom.

How do you like my fancy captioning? The black typeface looks very ominous. POSTPARTUM INFECTION.
Well, it is ominous. And something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you're looking for the short shortcut story, here it is:
I got a bacterial infection in my uterus after the birth, spiked an insanely high fever, was hospitalized for two days on IV antibiotics and am supposed to really take it easy and just rest for the coming weeks.
Here's the shortcut version:
One week out from BabyLoves' birth, I felt my worst. Is this normal? After a week of a few different healthcare provider opinions, it was determined I should go see an OBGYN and find out what the heck was making me so sick. The OB was fabulous. Oops–this is the short version. She diagnosed me with "endometritis"–no, not endometriosis–but an infection in the lining of my uterus that's very uncommon for vaginal births. She wanted me to go to the hospital ASAP for IV antibiotics to prevent, or treat if it was already happening, sepsis. Two days later, BabyLoves & I were happily discharged, bacteria-free. And now it feels like I'm just starting recover from his epic birth.
Longer version? Details on how awesome the OB was and how fabulous our nursing care was at the hoppy? Here it is.
BabyLoves' birth was great and hard. Wonderful labor. Terrible pushing & tearing. But his girth worked in his favor for a great latch from second one, great sleeper, great weight gainer, and overall super happy baby. He's up almost two pounds since birth already and we're not even four weeks out yet.
My recovery was slow initially. I kept wondering how long I'd need to ice and be on anti-inflamatories that first week back home. I'd shuffle around, lay on the couch and watch the big kids play while baby slept on my chest. AA stayed home that whole week and was amazing, of course.
But taking Motrin around the clock wasn't my idea of fun and as the week's end grew near, I kept thinking I should be done with this already.
Reality check: I did push out practically a 10 pound baby, and have almost two hours of repairs. Yes, I probably still needed Motrin.
Friends came by with food frequently, saving us from cereal for every meal, and I felt pretty normal as I chatted with them, showing them chunky baby and thanking them profusely for the food. AA's sister & brother-in-law happened to be in town and I actually got out of my bathrobe to say hello briefly, and offer them brownies.
But by one week out, I felt so much pain and discomfort. Two baths a day with my sister's wonderful sitz tea soak would dull the pain, but when I got out, it was back. My lower back hurt. Something had to be wrong. I smelled weird, too!
On the one hand, I kept rationalizing it, thinking, well, you had a really big baby and lots of stitches. On the other hand, I'd think, well, you've gone through this twice before and never hurt like this nor felt sick overall. Just yucky. Just bleh. Just can't-move-pale-cheeks-no-appetite-stabbing-pain bad.
I won't bore you with the details of who was looking at my swimsuit area, but eventually I was referred to a lovely OBGYN group that works with my midwives.
I didn't want to go. I'd get better. I didn't want to pack up the baby. I didn't want to get out of bed. I didn't know if I could get out of bed. By Sunday, I was downright shaking with chills! Saying goodnight to SuperBoy, I had to turn off his fan. It was achingly cold in his room. I walked around, holding the baby, closing all the windows on the second floor. It was freeeeezing out. Until suddenly it was a sauna. I couldn't breathe. Gasping for air, and dripping sweat a lllll down my legs. My armpits smelled like raw chicken gone bad. Open those windows! No, wait, turn on the A/C! How could the whole house be on fire?
Then it felt like my prescription suddenly not right? Was I wearing AA's glasses? Stumbling around looking for what presumably could only be my glasses somewhere–not on my face–it hit me. You're getting worse. You're really sick.
But I ignored the voice. I cried in the bathtub that night–ugly crying. Like the time my business professor in college shredded me after a presentation in front of a large class. Like my face was the inside of a watermelon. Hard crying. Maybe it's postpartum depression that's making me so sick? Maybe I'm a big wuss.
**This is why I'm sharing these all too personal details about my infection. If you're feeling overall sick, and you have stabbing pain in your swimsuit region, run, don't walk to your provider. And don't leave until they've ruled out endometritis. If they figure it out early enough, you can just take a round of oral antibiotics, usually augmenten. You're not a wuss and you're not a complainer. You may have a very serious infection that can affect the rest of your baby-making-parts and go into your bloodstream and shut down your organs. No joke, ladies.**
Where were we? Oh, yes, the ugly crying. Followed by my mother the following morning telling me in no uncertain terms that I looked very ill and that either I go to an OBGYN or the ER. And it was her birthday. Happy birthday, mama. How could I tell her no? She was looking very cross. Very cross indeed.
Dragging my feet and hauling my baby in the sling, I sludged up to the doctor's office with my sister, who kindly agreed last minute to come with–just in case he fussed and she needed to hold him while I was examined. Good thing she was there, because as it turned out, I was feeling worse and worse and could scarcely put one foot in front of the other to get into the office, collapse onto the examining table, and close my eyes, waiting, enduring, waiting for the doctor.
She was a fabulous practitioner, great bedside manner, and cousin to my other sister's high school boyfriend. NO WAY–it's a small world after all. After the pleasantries, she checked me out. Turns out I was very hot. Everywhere. Like a little human spa. VERY very hot, and with a fever clocking in at the amazing temperature of 102. My abdomen was spastically sore when she pushed on it, and oh, yes, I felt badly everywhere.
She explained to me that I was very sick. That I had a bacterial infection in my uterus. That she wanted to admit me to the hospital across the street–right away– for IV antibiotics. That I would need to be there a few days. That she wanted to prevent the bacteria from going into my bloodstream (sepsis) and then other organs. That she wasn't kidding. Oh, yeah, and that I really shouldn't be driving myself anywhere.
What? Endome-what? The hospital? Right now? I just want to lay down on the floor and sleep/die. The hospital overnight? What about my newborn?
Fast-forward to returning to the hospital we had just birthed at two weeks prior, with the world's sweetest nurses, back to the maternity ward, with my baby and my husband, and my iPad, and some fresh fruit, and my lavender bathrobe. When we arrived, I could barely walk. This time, not due to contractions like the last. This time because the infection was sapping the life out of me. I wheezed my name at the nurses' station and they hustled us into a room. They were expecting us, me, this. Sick mama alert!
I slept, got medications, slept, got more medications, and assuredly killed every bacteria in a 5 mile radius of me. It was exhausting but obviously urgently necessary.
BabyLoves was everyone's fav baby, as most babies are not that big around there. At every shift change, the new nurse would say, Oh he's just so big and look at how well he nurses! Small (big?) favors in so many departments with his personality and person.
Our beloved midwives stopped by and chatted. The nurses were capable, caring, and very attentive. But I gotta ask: who doesn't feel guilty asking a woman with tons of education and expertise to fetch you water? Awkward servitude. We had the same nurses a few times go 'round and by the end, they felt like family. Hell, my mom even made them fudge.
The only unresolved matter was the results of an ultrasound before I was discharged. Thankfully, no sign of any remaining placenta, but there were blood clots. I'm supposed to let my doc know they emerge, or my fever restarts. Hopefully everything goes back to business as usual in the lady department and my body can turn to healing up. Fast. Because my poor mom & sisters & dad & husband. They've been carrying the big load of two squirmy, semi-naughty kids. And I've been eating food in bed. And hanging out on my computer.
Last, but not least, truly, truly, thank you. Thank you for your love & prayers. Thank you for reading & being here. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Big smooches, gentle readers!

GARDEN CITY — It was not the tournament Garden City High School was hoping for, with dozens of teams across the state coming to play 36 holes at Buffalo Dunes and The Golf Club at Southwind, but a win will help quell the disappointment.
The Buffaloes were set to host a massive, 36-hole tournament on Saturday, before cold and snowy weather ruined those hopes this week. Instead, the Buffs had to settle for a Friday tournament at Buffalo Dunes with WAC teams only, which Garden City won with a 313.
Sion Audrain led the Buffs with a 68, the only golfer under par for the day.
Hays took second at 320, followed by Great Bend (346), Dodge City (349) and Liberal (425).
"It didn't matter to them really, I don't think," GCHS head coach Trent Specht said of not being able to host a larger tournament. "I think they wanted to bring in really good teams and really good players, but I think they were just more excited to play and be on their home course."
It's just the second tournament of the spring for the Buffs because of inclement weather, but Friday was a near-perfect day, Specht said.
"It was beautiful today," he said. "It was a touch chilly at the beginning and at the end, but other than that it was great. The course is absolutely beautiful."
Four days ago, the Buffs took second in a 17-team tournament at Newton's Sand Creek Station Golf Course with a 324 team score, and Specht said the Buffs took a step forward Friday as a team.
"The course might be a touch easier than Newton, but we played smarter and played a little bit better, and it showed in our team score," he said.
Freshman Theo Juhl improved his 83 from Tuesday to shoot a 79 Friday at Dunes. Shaddix also improved from his 85 to card an 80 Friday. Reid Richmeier posted an 86 Friday and Noah Ortiz and freshman Aaron Allen each posted 90s.
Hays High was led by Tradgon McCrae's second-place 72. McCrae was one of three Indian medalists. Josh Norris came in eighth with an 81 followed by Jason Krannawitter in ninth with an 82. Rounding out the top four for the Indians, Tucker Johnson fired an 85 to tie for 12th place. Keaton Schlaefli and Erik Kreutzer each shot a 97.
Hays High will be at home Monday to host the Bob Blazer Invitational, a 1 p.m. tee off at Smoky Hill Country Club.

The feds are coming to a hospital near you
If you have an agonising pain in the middle of your chest, get to hospital - fast. As an instrument of high political drama, hospitals win.
Where does Gregory House MD do his bizarre and brilliant deeds as head of Diagnostic Medicine? Not in a community health centre and not even in a superclinic, but at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital!
For saving lives, easing pain, dealing with emergencies, curing cancer, fixing heart attacks, healing trauma and unravelling exotic diagnostic conundrums of the sort that 'Sherlock' House deals with daily, the hospital is the centrepiece.
So you would need to be a really dumb politician if you, too, did not go to hospital when you needed attention for your political flesh wounds and bruises.
Kevin Rudd's bravura presentation at the National Press Club lunch yesterday enabled him to begin to act to fulfill his promise to fix the hospital system. Since election, wisely and courageously in my opinion, he has established commissions of inquiry and encouraged wide public discussion about the future of the health system without 'doing things' as brainless activists advocate.
He has not jumped to hasty decisions. He has been carefully advised by his minister Nicola Roxon. He has gone on tour and spoken with patients and health care providers himself.
He is not reading a teleprompter. He knows the issues. But he also knows his politics and so started the path of reforming action with a good blast on the hospital horn.
The Australian Health and Hospital Network that he is proposing, a national entity to oversee the funding of the nations 760 or so public hospitals, is to have responsibility for allocating resources to hospitals, in continuing cooperation with the states (because they still pay for a third of the hospital costs and will have general oversight of their management).
He proposes changing the tax base for hospitals somewhat - an interesting move - by clawing back one third of the GST that currently goes to the states in return for accepting the kind of liability for future hospital costs that a majority shareholder has to accept.
He has used the third intergenerational report, rather as Peter Costello used the first, to beat up a storm about impending health costs as our population ages, using implausible scenarios based on continuing, unsustainable trends in health expenditure to allow him to rescue the state from financial extinction as a result of future health care costs.
To avoid this fate, it is clear that efficiencies will need to be brought in - not the let's-serve-the-patients-stale-devon-sandwiches-n-switch-off-half-the-hospital-lights variety, but the sort that follow from researching the most effective way to treat people, especially those with chronic illness who cost us 75 per cent of the health budget now, and then putting those insights into practice.
Far too many people end up in hospital being tested expensively when with good community care they could be at home, presumably watching House.
So Rudd's announcement about funding hospitals according to national standards makes great sense. It will prove difficult to do because the health system is a viper's nest of creeping and crawling competing interests. The blame game, whereby the commonwealth tries to pass responsibilities to the states and vice versa, is symbolic.
But it is by no means the full monty. There are the blame games played between managers and clinicians, between politicians and manager and clinicians, and between the private and public sectors.
Members of the proposed AHHN need to be of genius IQ with CVs that show how they were instrumental in negotiating an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, or finally reuniting all the disparate elements of Christianity into one happy ecumenical family.
But seriously, the non-financial functions - the quality assurance role and the quest for true efficiency that delivers better health without so much incredible waste - will be AHHN's tough tasks.
What else can we say after Wednesday's lunch? Rudd has promised a health reform agenda that is revolutionary, not incremental. He may well be right but I wonder if he realises what being right means? It means it will take a decade to get these changes bedded down, just as it did with Medibank/Medicare. This is a big and long deal.
Be ready for quakes if you tickle tectonic plates.
And beyond the hospital? The ideas floated on Wednesday about expanded community care, superclinics and better integration of community and hospital services all make excellent sense if we are to manage chronically ill people better - as we assuredly need to do.
There are no TV programs called The Preventivists or The Health Promoters and so don't expect to hear much about at future lunches. But note that the new federal agency has health and not simply hospitals in its title. Interesting things could happen.
Wednesday was about finance and governance. The feds are coming to a hospital near you with dollars. But there is a lot more to this reform agenda than meets the eye. As there should be.
Don't let House beguile you.

This page provides guidance on how long police and sheriff departments in Washington State must retain various types of commonly requested records.
It is part of MRSC's series on Law Enforcement Records Management and Disclosure, created in partnership with the Washington State Auditor's Center for Government Innovation.
Police and sheriff departments must retain their records for a specific amount of time, depending on the type of record, as established in the Secretary of State's Records Retention Schedules for Law Enforcement Agencies. Below are the retention requirements for commonly requested law enforcement records, along with the relevant Disposition Authority Number (DAN). Always review the Secretary of State's complete retention schedule to ensure compliance.
After the retention period has expired, the Secretary of State's schedule allows records to be destroyed or transferred. Before destroying a record, check with the prosecutor to make sure the matter has not been appealed. Local agencies may also choose to keep their records longer than the required time period if desired.
Following the time periods in the retention schedule allows agencies to better manage their records and their responses to public records requests. If requested records have already been destroyed in accordance with the retention schedule, the agency can respond that it no longer has the records as they were properly destroyed pursuant to the adopted records retention schedule.

GUTHRIE, Okla. - Authorities said they are scrambling following a fire at a historic building in downtown Guthrie.
Officials told News 4 a new tenant in one of the offices inside the Kress Building was renovating the unit when they smelled smoke.
When crews arrived, they said heavy smoke was found inside the building. Fortunately, they were able to quickly put out the fire.
The fire was contained to the Logan County Probation and Parole Office, and they said the way the building was built helped contain the blaze.
"These old buildings have been here 100 plus years, and today is a testament to how well-built they are," said Guthrie Fire Chief Eric Harlow. "You know, this fire was very likely burning for several hours in the back of this building and, just luckily, we had someone inside the building that smelled smoke."
Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokesperson Matt Elliott said nobody was injured, as no staff members were inside when the fire broke out.
Now, the agency is working to finalize arrangements for a temporary location for reporting visits with Logan County offenders.
Officials said the ODOC Probation and Parole Services satellite office is believed to be a total loss.
"Right now, that office isn't useable at all. All of the property in there was destroyed from what we understand," Elliott said. "Paper records, the ones that were stored away survived, but the ones that were sitting out were lost as well as tons of office equipment, technology, things like that."
The office, which was home to three officers and one training officer, served over 200 offenders.
Offenders should contact their officers at the numbers below:
- PPO Julie Hensley: 405-315-9800
- PPO Ron Shipman: 405-315-9792.
If offenders have issues contacting their officers, they can call the statewide Probation and Parole Services office at 405-425-2696.

With a corporate environment, comes a closet that is filled with business attire. Blazers are an essential part of my wardrobe, but when I was just starting my career, I was under the impression that I had to wear the "typical" suit or blazer every day. That meant that the suit had to be either all black, blue or grey and, for lack of better terms, had to be simple and boring.
Looking back, I had it all wrong. I wasn't dressing like myself, so ultimately I didn't feel as confident as I could have felt. Now don't get me wrong, there are days when I need to wear the "simple and boring" suit or blazer, but now they are more tailored than they were in my early 20s, so they are much more me! On the days when I can be a little more creative with my wardrobe, I love to wear blazers with feminine details.
Suit with Bow: This suit was from RueLala.com, and isn't available now. But there are similar suits here.
A suit with embellishments, a certain cut, a great color or plaid pattern always catch my eye. The feminine details make these blazers great for work, but are also perfect transitional pieces for after work, or even on the weekend.
Check out some beautiful blazers with feminine details below!
Waist Emphasis Blazer: Here
This blazer just launched last week, and I immediately bought it. I can't wait for it to arrive!
Peplum Blazer: Here
Red and peplum…it doesn't get any better! If you're not feeling the red, it comes in black for a more subtle statement. It's also currently 30% off!
Belted Blazer: Here
I love the belt detail! I frequently throw a narrow black belt on many of my blazers to accentuate my waist. I love how this one is the same fabric as the blazer.
Tweed Blazer: Here
The tweed fabric and enlarged gold button detail on this blazer make it anything but boring!
Let us know if you have any go-to brands for blazers. I'd love to try out some new brands!

You can beat her, Brick! Your hair is too fabulous to defeat!
Yeah, not much to say here. Was an easy page despite sounding like it'd be tougher on paper; heavy dialog means I can usually be lazy. ^^ Do like the use of DeGroot on the jumbo screen; very memorable and theatric.
Not sure how much I've got to say on this one - very text-heavy and all. Actually kind of wish there wasn't as much as there is, but at least don't think the current chapters have been too bad about it.
Oh, there is the mention of the Patriot Initiative's generals, that's worth drawing attention to. If you read Wright as Rayne or check our DA page you've seen some of them - specifically Mr. Atlanta, Jake Cassidy, and Leith Paxton. They and the other three also end up appearing later on in this chapter and we get to hear a little bit from some of them.
The need's passed by now but I really wish I'd gotten it together on doing Brick's windows. Them being a dark grey like that from the outside makes sense given the dialogue here, but them being that color when seeing the inside of it was just being lazy and not thinking.
Way to go Misty, punch a hole in Brick's overinflated ego, wonder what's going to happen next.
Heh, hopefully you'll enjoy where it's heading.

Hoorah! I got a call today about an internship. yay! It will be once a week when I have a day off from college. It is in the head office of the company I work for. So will see the retail side to the design business. Exciting is not even the word! A great opportunity and I hope I can learn alot from this.
Offset: Day 3
Again, at the grand canal theatre bright and early for a 10am start. M&E studio who are based in Sweden now. I then went to the talk on routes into graphic design. Made sure I was back for Celestine Cooney, as I couldn't go to her talk on Saturday. She is again local and so bubbly with energy. She really inspired me to persevere and get out there and to get myself to do what I want to do. Tomer Hanuka, Illustrator. Then lunch with a preview screening of lost and found. They had a competition to submit a sketch of the characters from the movie and a guy from my college won a copy of the movie. I went to catch the end of David Carson's q and a. Then Wooster collection, they do some amazing work by helping to fund the people who push the boundaries of public art around the world. Zach Gold the photographer, I really like his dissolving photo technique of sand and water. He is very experimental in his work as shown by his vat of milk. I missed David O Reilly only to try get more from George Lios. He was having a 2 hour interview with Q and A. this is when I got the photo and he is so nice. He remembered me from talking to him earlier, he is so great. Then the finale to Offset 2010 – Gary Baseman. not sure what exactly to say. he is phenomenal in a perverse, quirky, weird, he lives by his own rules type of way. I did like his style, even if the subject matter is very controversial and it puts some thought in your mind and on telling someone about his work, I probably did not give it justice, it really just comes across quite perverse in a very bad way with his paintings of little girls and their shu shu's. give it some thought. xxx
Offset: day 2
Yet another great line up was in store for the day. I must admit I didn't know a single name on the list but I just felt like I was in the presence of greatness in this industry. Started off with a sweet Emily Forgot. So young and so talented. She finds inspiration from everything and she still has so far to go with her work. Linda Brownlee with her amazing photography is one of the local talent. Then I went to the second room where Directors from Detail were talking about internships and for me as a student I completely advocate them, but unfortunately for me, they only take Irish students. But they did give some great info and I got a 'free badge' so I went away happy. such simple delights. Steven Heller is a big name and discussed the world fairs and whether design can save the world/future. Then onto David Carson, talked about everything, I knew his work but not of the person, as I have worked in retail for many years and started in a Quiksilver shop, so all our advertising had a lot to do with David Carson, who knew. He talked for close to 2 hours. But great for every word. Then Mark Farrow being interviewed by Adrian Shaughnessy. Alan Clarke with his visually in your face illustration but again, local and lekker, so young with so much talent to show the world. Then the one and only fabulous 'madman' George Lois. never heard this name, but from sat evening, is going to be ingrained in my for the rest of my life. I hope to do my thesis on him so will keep you posted. Got his autograph and a photo with him, and what I love almost the most – is how fondly he talks about his wife and that next year they will be married 60 years. I left that night with this amazing buzz, like i needed to scream or draw or create something. I could feel this light of inspiration, went to bed just thinking all about design. xxx
Offfset: Day 1
Registration was a simple process, lots of milling around until about ten to 9 when main stage opened. Bren opened proceedings. Adrian Shaughnessy & Tony Brook took to the stage first. Great talk about what they have gotten up to. Next was Martin Haake and illustrator from Berlin. Some wierd and wacky illustration but on the whole I do like his style. Next was Aiden Grenelle. Our own local irish designer. very down to earth and he has done some amazing work with some big clients around town. Phillip Hunt from Studia AKA was brilliant. Amazingly brilliant work as well as entertaining on stage. Daniel Eatock – some very off the beaten track work but same thing, abstract but I can definitely see the appeal – very obtuse thinker. Steve 'Espo' Powers. What I found the best about him is that he went back to his roots and helped his local community where he grew up. He did something for the greater good with his art and in my opinion, he is definitley just a big softie at heart with his emotional and love statements. Nik Roope from Poke London. I liked the mention of their link to charity work with Barnado's with such a worthy msg. Scott Dadich from Wired: he is an age old in this business and a wise man with lots to show if you are given the oppertunity. Definitely one of the genius minds. Today was so amazing and my head felt melted but absolutely worth while. cant wait for more tomorrow.
1069 Designs
I had an epiphany over the summer talking to my dad when he come to visit of what I wanted to do, may not be a lifetime goal per say as not sure if it will be profitible, but I hope it couldnt be. Well, anyway, Im gonna do it regardless as a side thing as its what I enjoy. Im gonna be designing and selling t-shirts. My shop is called 1069 Designs. I can be found at www.tarynlockitch.com/shop – which is obviously linked off my own website which at present is still a work in progess. I have not added any designs as yet – but my goal is to have 5 designs up and ready for purchase online by Dec and to have the shop looking well. It can also be found at http://1069designs.spreadshirt.ie/. Happy Shopping! xxx

Almost anyone can publish a book, however my mission and vision is to coach and publish authors with stories and books that empower, educate and inspire.
In 2014, I accomplished my biggest achievement to date, (next to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in 2000 and getting to the top with the flu!!) and published my debut book Mr Wrong.

I can share with you strategies that boost your chances of getting becoming a bestseller too. Over the last three years, we have published over 80 books, I've mentored over 190 authors and aspiring authors assisting them in developing their skillset in writing, publishing, book marketing, social media, branding, public speaking and confidence. Having a bestseller status is awesome, but creating a book of value and significance with integrity is priceless. My passion lies in helping authors create books that educate, inspire, empower, transform and entertain whilst leaving a legacy for generations to come.
My belief is that we all have a unique story and that we can use our stories and experiences to engage, ignite and empower others. My clients have found that having a Book Journey Mentor has allowed them to achieve a greater understanding of the publishing process, accelerated their growth as an author and raised their profile within their chosen fields.

Many of us have dreams and desires however, often they remain just that. So many of us have unfulfilled goals and achievements because we are too afraid to take action. This is due to an unconscious belief or limiting belief system that enables fear and doubt to paralyse our dreams so that they remain in a world fiction and fantasy.
Conscious Dreams is about taking control of our destinies and having a burning desire to transform our dreams into reality. Conscious Dreams Publishing allows you to be the main protagonist and director of your own story.

Now, there are so many disasters everywhere in the world: wars between nations, ethnic conflicts, terrors, famines, earthquakes, and deadly cold or heat or flood caused by a change in weather patterns. Whenever such things occur, people tremble
with fear, not knowing who or what they should set their hearts on.
The Bible already prophesied about the coming disasters and what people would do in the day of such disasters.
Am 9:2-9 『Though they dig down to the depths of the grave, from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heaven . . .
Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel . . . Though they hide from me at the bottom of the sea . . .』
The prophecy mentioned above shows that people will desperately try to hide themselves anywhere, because a great disaster beyond human control will come upon this earth. This prophecy does not talk about what happened in the days of Amos the prophet about 2,800 years ago, but it is a warning of what will occur in the great and dreadful day of the LORD, at the Last Judgment.
The last disaster which human beings cannot escape by their own methods
People today, who live in an age of high technology, feel fear about the coming disasters and the end of the human race and they try to find various ways to escape from the disasters. They make every effort to find refuge underground or at the bottom of the sea or on a planet outside the earth, so that they may escape the threat of nuclear weapons capable of annihilating all life on earth many times over. Various methods are being discussed nowadays, such as an atomic submarine for hiding at the bottom of the sea, a spaceship for climbing up to the heavens and much more.
According to a press report, America has constructed a large bunker beneath the White House at Mount Weather; and it is said that there are ninety-nine underground cities in various places, as a provision in case of an emergency.
However, the Bible clearly says that even by using modern scientific methods, no one can escape God's fierce anger. It also says that the last disaster will come upon all the earth, not just upon some parts of it.
Lk 21:35 『"For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth."』
Isa 24:3-13 『The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered . . . So will it be on the earth and among the nations . . .』
Now, let's see how the disaster will come upon the whole earth, all nations of the world.
2 Pe 3:7-10 『By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men . . . But the day of the LORD will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.』
The Bible says that God will use fire for His judgment. So the disaster, which will come upon the whole world, is fire. When the day comes, the heavens will be destroyed by fire and all things will burn and melt in the heat. The day will be a day of distress; even the warriors will tremble with fear and cry out bitterly.
However, God has prepared a way to escape the disaster when that dreadful day comes. He has made the way―the good news of salvation―known to us. We can receive it only through the Bible, not through any high-tech equipment developed by scientists.
The Passover contains God's promise to save us from disasters
Let us take a careful look at God's word of promise to allow us to escape all disasters, with our eyes, ears and mind wide open.
Ex 12:11-14 『". . . it is the LORD's Passover. On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn―both men and animals . . . The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt . . ."』
At the time of the Exodus, when the plague of destroying every firstborn was brought upon Egypt, no plague came upon the houses of the Israelites that kept the Passover. In other words, the plague passed over them. Thus, Passover (Pascha in Greek, Pesach in Hebrew) implies "disasters pass over."
Such a history was written as a warning for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. Faithless Israel did not believe in the power of the Passover. However, Judah regarded the Passover as important and celebrated it. Through the history of Israel and Judah, we come to realize how important and precious the Passover is.
Hezekiah king of Judah read all the words of the covenant, which had been found in the temple of the LORD when it was being repaired and restored. He realized the covenant of God and sent couriers to all Judah and Israel so that they might celebrate the Passover which had not been kept for a long time. When the couriers delivered the king's command to "come up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover," Israel in the north scorned and ridiculed them, and several years later it was invaded and destroyed by Assyria (2 Ki 18:9-12). However, Judah celebrated the Passover holy and was able to repel the attack of Assyria, which was a strong nation, with God's mighty power (2 Ch 30:1-27; 2 Ki 18:13-19:37).
The Bible tells us that there are two groups of people in these last days, too: those who are doomed to suffer terrible plagues, and those who will escape them with God's help.
Rev 7:1-4 『After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth . . . another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God . . . "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."』
The only way to escape the last plagues is to receive the seal of God. Then, what is the seal of God? The Bible prophesies that the blood of the Passover lamb will be a sign for God's people so that they may escape the last plagues. In other words, the blood of the Passover lamb is 'the seal of God' through which God's people can be saved.
At the time of the Exodus, the Israelites could be saved from the terrible plague of destroying every firstborn, by putting the blood of a year-old Passover lamb on their door posts and eating the meat. The Passover lamb of the Old Testament represents Jesus.
1 Co 5:7-8 『. . . For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival . . .』
No one can escape the last plagues without the "blood of Jesus Christ" who is the Passover Lamb.
When the angels, who are given power to harm the land and the sea in the last days, let go of the four winds [war], the terrible disasters [the last plagues] will come upon this earth (Rev 7:1-3). To make the last plagues pass over His people, God places His "seal" on His children's foreheads. Ultimately, the "seal of God" is the seal of salvation through which God's people can escape the disasters.
Eze 9:4-6 『. . . and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it . . . Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple.』
Whom did God order the destroying angels to begin with? He told them to begin with the elders [leaders] of the false churches, who do not have the mark―the seal of God, the blood of the Passover Lamb―on their foreheads.
Considering the prophecies of the Bible, we are now living in the days of the last plagues. God awakens us, His children, to the fact that the only way to escape the plagues is to receive the "seal of God." God also shows us that His sealing work is prophesied to begin from the east and spread to the west.
Rev 7:2 『Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God.』
When Apostle John received the revelation on the island of Patmos, he saw an angel coming up from the east, the rising of the sun. So, according to the prophecy of the Bible, God's sealing work is to begin in the east.
God seals us as His very own
When we celebrate the Passover, God abides in us, and we in Him (Jn 6:56; 15:4-8). As we dwell in God, we belong to Him.
2 Co 1:21-22 『Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He . . . set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.』
God has set His seal on us to be marked as "His own." Let's see what blessings God gives us, His own.
Isa 43:1-3 『O Jacob . . . "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine . . . When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze . . ."』
God has made us His own by putting His seal on us through the Passover, and has firmly promised to protect us from any destructive disasters. God is now calling us His children, who are living in these last days—the age of disasters, to celebrate the Passover so that we can escape the last plagues.
Before the angels, who are holding back the four winds [war], let go of their hold, we should preach the Passover of the new covenant―the seal of God―to the whole world, as the couriers of the good news of salvation.
Brothers and sisters in Zion! Let us all take part in God's work of salvation in this age, giving thanks to God for making us His very own people, His treasured possession.

Explain the following statements:
(i) Latent heat of fusion of solid carbon dioxide is much less than that of silicon dioxide.
(ii) Water has its maximum density near 277 K
(iii) Ice floats on surface of water near the melting point
Explain the following statements:
(i) Si${{O}{2}}$ has covalent bonds while C${{O}{2}}$ has Vander Waal's forces. Hence Si${{O}_{2}}$ has higher heat of fusion.
(ii) Below 277 K and above 277 K, water expands hence its volume increases, density decreases and is maximum at 277 K.
(iii) At 0°C or 273 K, its density is less than that of water hence floats.

According to the latest government figures, real pay levels in Britain have not risen in 12 years, and are now lower than they were in 2007. Money wages have risen, but the rise in money wages has been totally absorbed in rising prices (Fig. 1↓). This is the worst and most prolonged fall in peacetime living standards since records began.
At one level this is a terrible indictment of the Conservative and Liberal governments since 2010, but the decline in earnings started in 2007 under the Labour government so the causes go deeper than just which government is in power.
Figure 1 The stagnation of wages in the UK.
If we look at Fig. 2↓we can see that even though earnings have stagnated, real national income has been rising since mid 2009.
Figure 2 Growth of UK real national product (Chained Volume Measure, Office of National Statistics).
The rise in national income has not filtered through into pay because of two main reasons.
- The share of the national product going to the exploiting classes has risen since 2010. The share of national income going to the top 1% initially fell during the crash of 2009, but has subsequently recovered.
Figure 3 The rise in the income share of the top 1 percent.
- Such growth in national income as has occured, has been due to a rapid rise in the workforce.
Productivity has been stagnant. Since the industrial revolution economic growth has been mainly due to rising labour productivity. This has now come almost to a halt in Britain as can be seen from Fig. 4↓
Figure 4 The growth of labour productivity has been shrinking over the last half century in the UK. Growth rates computed as moving average over last 5 years from ONS data for output per worker for the whole economy.
This is one of the most remarkable economic changes that has occured in two centuries. For two centuries we have grown used to the idea that capitalism involves economic progress and technical advance. This seems to be ending in the UK where the industrial revolution started.
It is not just Britain that is experiencing a slowdown in technical advance. The same basic pattern can be seen in all the mature capitalist countries as shown in Fig 5↑
Figure 5 The decline in productivity growth is an international phenomonon. (Data obtained from Extended Penn World Tables.) Note that this data only goes up to the start of the 2008 recession.
Figure 6 Immigration and exploitation in the UK. Years with high rates of immigration have high rates of exploitation.
Throughout the capitalist world this law is in effect, slowing down the growth of labour productivity. The capitalist class seek cheap labour, which systematically holds back technical progress. They show chronic unwillingness to invest. Orthodox economists call this 'secular stagnation'.
I am old enough to have seen the rate of technical change slow down a lot within my own lifetime. I remember that it was in the late 1970s that Greg Michaelson and I first noticed this slow down happening and started to discuss it. Technical change is nothing like as rapid as it was in the 1950s or 1960s, let alone between 1890 and 1914. The tendency is for the rate of advance of labour productivity to slow down.
Perhaps our grandchildren will be using magnetic levitation trains, but in the 60s we expected linear induction monorail trains to be in use by 1980. After all they were building a prototype in East Anglia. High speed tilting trains were being developed by BR in the late 60s and were scheduled for use in the 70s along with 125 mph diesels for other lines. Current Virgin Train diesels are no faster than those HSTs. In 1975 I could go from Edinburgh to London in 4hrs 20 mins, it is no faster today, forty years later. Where are the flying cars, personal jet packs, and and 15 hour working week that we were promised?
In some areas transport and technology has regressed considerably. 19th century style bicycle delivery boys are back on the streets, 'badge engineered' by Deliveroo. In the 70s Britain could build supersonic airliners, the Americans could land people on the moon. Neither of those technologies is available now. In the 50s the UK could from a complete standing start build a whole series of nuclear power stations with each one taking about 5 years. Now we have to import the technology at vast expense from China and France, and it takes over a decade.
During my grandfather's lifetime, travel went from horse transport in towns and the only form of flight being by balloon, to generalised use of cars and mass jet transport. They went from magic lantern shows to cinema, and then television. There was no telephone system when he was born, let alone computers, but in his old age he came and saw the workstation I was using and was immediately able to understand the Unix filing system.

When it comes to modernisation and technical change, the modern world has nothing like the rate of change 100 years ago or 50 years ago. For Scotland it is pretty clear that the apex of industrial development and modernisation occurred in the years before the first world war. After that, investment in the high tech Glasgow industries of the day – engineering, shipbuilding, aircraft, optics went into decline. Shipbuilding capacity peaked 100 years ago. From then on the process of destruction of industrial potential started.
Figure 8. Beardmores shipyard at Dalmuir 100 years ago. This was the most modern shipyard on the Clyde, but in the 1920s it was bought up by its competitors and demolished to remove competition.
What we are seeing is what Marx predicted in the 1850s when he wrote:
In the social production of their existence, men inevitably enter into definite relations, which are independent of their will, namely relations of production appropriate to a given stage in the development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which arises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political and intellectual life. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness. At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production or – this merely expresses the same thing in legal terms – with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto. From forms of development of the productive forces these relations turn into their fetters. Then begins an era of social revolution. The changes in the economic foundation lead sooner or later to the transformation of the whole immense superstructure.
Why is capitalism no longer able to develop technology the way it once did?
Basically it is because Marx was right, the natural tendency of a capitalist economy is towards ever increasing inequality. Unless checked by revolution, or the fear of revolution, the property owning classes concentrate more and more of societies income and property in their hands. As inequality and explopitation increase, the relative cost of labour falls.
As labour becomes relatively cheaper capitalists prefer not to invest in modernisation. Instead they just employ more workers at lower wages when they want to expand. As Fig. 7↑ shows, accross the capitalist world the trend is for investment to decline.
Low wages and high exploitation lead to technical backwardness. High wages force innovation. It was only the fear of communist revolution that forced capitalism to increase productivity after 1945. Fear of revolution led them to concessions which raised real wages. Fear of losing the technological race with the USSR led the West to engage in state led investment in order to compete.
After the fall of the USSR they no longer feared communism. Instead of investing in technology they sought to expand simply by importing cheap labour. As Fig. 6↑ shows, in years when immigration is high so is the rate of exploitation. But this very process of expansion via cheap labour leads to technical stagnation.
Since immigrant labour was the most immediately visible means by which British capitalists were increasing exploitation, it is no surprise that old working class areas voted so strongly for Brexit. Years of growing poverty produced a political effect. The first effect was to hit out at the most obvious policy of neo-liberal economics.
It is predictable that a tighter labour market after Brexit will make it harder for the employers to keep raising the level of exploitation here. In turn this will tend to incetivise them to invest in new techniques to compensate for the higher cost of labour. But if the lessons of our 20th century history teach us anything, it is that private capital can not be trusted to carry out the level of investment needed for continual industrial modernisation.
After Brexit the debate will shift onto what sort of economic policy can reverse the technical stagnation that the UK is experiencing. After the free movement of labour is challenged, the next topic on the political agenda will be the free movement of capital that allows capital to be exported to tax havens.

In 2015, Gravity Payments, a Seattle-based credit card processing firm, tried something unorthodox: Chief Dan Price set a new minimum salary of $70,000, even sacrificing some of his own to make it happen.
It made national news. Résumés poured in.
But this seemingly heroic gesture also had unexpected consequences: Two of Price's most valued employees quit, spurred by the personal view that it was unfair to double the pay of some new hires while the longest-serving staff members got small or no raises.
As one of those departing employees stated, "Now the people who were just clocking in and out were making the same as me. It shackles high performers to less motivated team members."
And this was not lost on the new employees, some of whom exhibited a crisis of conscience. Said one, "Am I doing my job well enough to deserve this [raise]? I didn't earn it."
While this scenario is an extreme example, it illustrates how raising all salaries, without acknowledging individual performance, can backfire.
Salary compression – wherein organizations have negligible differences in pay between people with differing skill sets and/or experience – is notorious for leading to low productivity, low morale and high turnover.
Salary compression also can happen organically, without detection or choice. It can materialize in a variety of ways, often when:
By design, a pay-for-performance system eliminates the arbitrariness and subjectivity of compensation that can lead to salary compression by establishing ways to measure what matters most of all: an employee's productivity, performance and results.

Alonso "not too proud" of Q2 lap in Mexico
Fernando Alonso says he was "not too proud" of his lap in qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix, but conceded the result was still great for his McLaren team.
Alonso qualified in 12th position, his best qualifying result since the Singapore Grand Prix, splitting the Force Indias of Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez.
Although delighted with the result, the Spaniard admitted he was left with a "bittersweet taste" about his lap.
"It was one of those days when I finished the lap and thought it was a shame because it wasn't a good lap," said Alonso.
"I had a lot of understeer with the last set of tyres and I crossed the finish line with a bittersweet taste.
"When they told me I was P12 I was very happy because it's a very good result for us and with the Force Indias having used the tyres that in theory are for tomorrow today.
"So overall a good result, but as I said, when I crossed the finish line it was not one of those laps you are not too proud of."

The McLaren driver believes his team could have a strong race tomorrow, as he felt the car was working better on a heavy fuel load during Friday practice.
"We thought we had much better race pace, especially yesterday we saw every lap we did without traffic we were pretty fast so we are more confident for the race than for qualy," he said.
"But we are starting in a good position to score points tomorrow so hopefully we can finish the job."
Ocon and Perez attempted to make Q3 without using the hypersoft tyres in the second qualifying segment, a decision that Alonso believes cost them.
But the two-time champion is still expecting the Force Indias to be a threat in the race.
"They took a risk with the tyre choice," said Alonso. "They tried to make Q3 avoiding the pink ones and it went wrong.
"But the race is tomorrow, they have pace to spare and will be strong rivals."

The heavy desire in his voice was got me actually hot. Rather I parted my legs a little and instantly felt the suggestion of his dick at my entryway. He required his hips forward, his manhood attacking on my sex like a predator going after its victim.
The following encounter Alex attempted to place himself inside me and would not stop up until I got mad. I disliked not being able to feel whatever, and I disliked losing the intimacy of having absolutely nothing in between us.
I disengaged myself from Alex and handled to stand up. I didn't have the heart to inform Alex that he would not have access to my super-wet cunt since we were out of prophylactics.

Alex half raised me so that he might get access to my sex with his mouth. I took this as his effort to avoid me from getting at the prophylactics. I could not focus on anything else and simply got into what Alex was doing to me.
" Oh God!" I groaned. "Fuck me, fuck me harder."
When I had actually very first gone off the tablet and informed him we had to utilize prophylactics he grumbled. He stated utilizing a prophylactic feels like clapping with gloves on. The next time we had sex we didn't utilize a prophylactic and he pulled out prior to cumming all over my stomach.
I didn't state anything as I set the empty box down and got back on the bed lying on my stomach. Alex right away got on top of me grinding his erection versus my dampness. It was apparent by the method he moved that Alex was still attempting to enter me.
I understand hazardous sex is bad, particularly because I like to fuck like a sailor on shore leave. For whatever factor the concept of getting an STD to didn't frighten me sufficient to utilize prophylactics, however the concept of getting pregnant did.

I continued to grab the prophylactics situated someplace in my underclothing drawer despite the fact that Alex was opposing. I remained in an uncomfortable position and wound up with the lower half of my body on the bed while supporting the majority of my weight with a hand on the flooring as I fumbled looking for package of prophylactics.
I was in euphoria as Alex went at me with careless desert. I got onto the bed sheets hanging on for dear life as Alex continued his unrelenting pounding. When Alex reached down and began to massage my clit I might barely breathe.

I was dealing with my Aunt and Uncle while going to graduate school at Cal Berkeley, however I was remaining in the guesthouse, so I had a step of personal privacy. Alex and I had actually begun dating a number of months previously. He lived 75 miles away in Sacramento and we were just able to see each other on the weekends.
Alex and I had actually gone out for the night and I had one too lots of glasses of white wine. As quickly as Alex had his hands on me I felt him start to eliminate my clothing. Understanding what was about to occur, I went to reach for the box of prophylactics I kept in my underclothing drawer.
