Taylor Swift and One Direction's Harry Styles split over a year ago, and it seems like it was a pretty bitter breakup, even though they only dated for a few months. Have they finally buried the hatchet? Perhaps.
'Transformers 4' is not a reboot, but it has done away with the human cast you may have been familiar with after the first three movies. Taking over for Shia LaBeouf is Mark Wahlberg, who's role in this movie is to be the father of a really beautiful girl (Nicola Peltz, taking over for Megan Fox). Presumably he has something else to do because in this new 'Transformers 4' poster, he's got a really, really big alien gun. And he's ready to use it.

Miley Cyrus had to deny Arizona teen Matt Peterson when he got naked and asked her to prom. She wasn't offended by his nakedness. As if. (Hello, 'Wrecking Ball' video.)

However surreal it may seem that 'Veronica Mars' will be hitting movie theaters in a matter of days, there can be no doubt that casual fans of the series have plenty to catch up on before the beloved private investigator hits the silver screen.

well, we made it into the new house and survived the first month living amongst construction dust and noise...hubby has however, vowed never again...lol
We finally got our sod in last week, and although I have the appearance of grass I still can't run my toes through it as it's quite boggy right now (as new sod should be - mega wet from 24 hr watering).
Did you know that there are approx 150 different ways to explain to a homeowner how humidity affects your newly laid hardwood? (sarc mode). All of which would be quite interesting if the problem with the said hardwood had anything remotely to do with humidity rather than someone planting their size 13 steel toed boots in the middle of the dining room and gouging the said floor...lol Personally, I liked the part where the floor guy tried to tell my hubby how wood is milled and where hubby let him waffle on for 10 mins before filling him in on how his father was the past prez of Scott papers and how he grew up in and around mills until he joined the army... lol (guess the guy also missed the joke sign in the basement proclaiming that rule numbers 1 and 2 in the house are no topics relating to wood and or how big is your army? are allowed... lol)
I've learned that in construction terms, that 2 weeks actually means in reality, 30 days and a month means "good luck if you ever see it anytime soon".
I've also discovered that there is a beast that sheds worse than my dogs and is a vacuum killer. New carpet...so far it's killed 2 vacuums...and the builder is talking about replacing the carpet as it has a flaw in it.. so it begins all over again.. lol... a few dog hairs are nothing now compared to what a 40oz carpet sheds... lol.. word to the wise.. if you buy and install a new carpet.. DO NOT wear black....(at least for the first 6 months of living there.. lol)
For those members that are buying a new house, especially in Ontario...read the Tarion info until your eyes bleed. If you miss filing your 30 day inspection papers to Tarion with that 30 day period.. you are SOL until your one year for filing. Even if you builder books your 30 day inspection "around" your 30 day period (usually they try to book it after the date), make sure you fill out the Tarion 30 day forms and get them into Tarion before your 30 day date. Tarion will not accept anything after midnight of day 30. (what all this means to you and your builder is that Tarion issues a deadline to the builder to complete all work listed on the 30 day report, failure of the builder to complete the list puts them into non-compliance and subject to either an order to complete or a fine. The deadline is usually 4 months after you have filed. If you miss your Tarion filing date, your builder is under no deadline to complete your home's work and may very well take their time doing it. (remember, as of possession date, your builder is not making a dime off of your home (baring charge backs to the subs for their work or lack thereof) so it's a loss for them to devote resources to it).
For members buying a new home that was previously owned, same applies to you...make sure you fill in the one, two or 7 year form to Tarion.
Anyway, got to run, back to more unpacking..
I moved in to a new house 1 month ago. Still don't have any topsoil because they have to build a garage first, so no sod and no fence and no deck till probably late september. This is a lot of fun with the amount of rain we have had in Calgary and three dogs that all must now go out on a leash to pee four times a day. Lots of dust in the house too. I am constantly dusting. Oh well. Soon we'll have the house of our dreams. NEVER AGAIN!!! Next home will be a loft apartment. No landscaping.
have survived!
Moving into a new home sounds nearly as bad as moving into an 80-year-old one lol !

The buzz has been building for more than a month, and the moment of truth is finally here, as Sunday is Oscar night. NY1 film critic Neil Rosen offers his picks for who he thinks will win at this year's Academy Awards.
The 85th annual Academy Awards are this Sunday night. So here's a preview of what to look for, along with my predictions of who'll take home those coveted gold statuettes.
For Best Supporting Actress, this one's going to Anne Hathaway for her role in "Les Miserables". She's not in the movie very long, but her show-stopping musical number did make a big impact. She's also loved by Academy voters. So, sorry Sally Field, this year they don't like you, they really don't like you.
All the nominees in the Best Supporting Actor category have previously won. But I think it's just a two-man race between Tommy Lee Jones for his work in "Lincoln" and Robert De Niro for "Silver Linings Playbook". I'm going with Jones.
Best Director also comes down to two men, Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln" and Ang Lee for "Life Of Pi". Even though Spielberg has won three times before, I think he'll narrowly take it.
Speaking of "Lincoln", the man who played our 16th President, Daniel Day-Lewis, is the lock of the evening. When he wins, he'll become the first man in history to win three Oscars in the Best Actor category.
Jennifer Lawrence is taking home the gold for "Silver Linings Playbook" in the Best Actress category. Here's why. Her other movie last year, "The Hunger Games", was a mega-blockbuster worldwide. And with "Silver Linings", she demonstrated that she has a lot of range as a an actress. It's simply her year.
Look for Quentin Tararntino to take the stage as he picks up a win for his Best Original Screenplay, "Django Unchained". "Argo" will nab the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Best Animated Feature will not go to Pixar's "Brave". I'm saying it'll be "Wreck It Ralph".
Best Documentary? "Searching For Sugarman". And by the way, if you haven't seen this great movie, check it out On Demand.
"Amour" has no chance of winning Best Picture, but it will win Best Foreign Language Film.
Which brings us to the big prize of the night. and I say "Argo" will win Best Picture. Here's why. The Academy voters screwed up and didn't nominate Ben Affleck for Best Director. To rectify the situation, he'll take to the stage and accept an Oscar as the producer of the movie.
Seth McFarlane is a first-time host, and I think he'll be funny. But that's the one prediction I'm the least sure about.

Is the Preaching Any Good?
One of the most fundamental truths to understand about the church's corporate gathering is that Jesus is a giver.
Jesus, our Savior and salvation — the one to whom we are united by faith — gave himself to us by becoming like us. He then gave himself to us by dying in our place. And still today, every week when the church meets, he gives himself to us through the preaching of his word and the sharing of his Supper.
This matters because, as surely as we have received him as the God-man and trusted in his finished work, we should anticipate that there is yet more of him to experience in weekend worship.
More of Christ
More of Christ, after all, is the great aim of the Christian life. Paul's goal in ministry was to present everyone mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28). His one-thing-I-do ambition was to know Christ…

Online holiday sales hit $27 billion
Holiday shoppers brought good cheer to e-commerce retailers, spending $27 billion online from November 1 through December 24, a 5 percent jump over last year, ComScore reported Wednesday.
The period from Black Friday through Christmas Eve was also bright and merry as sales grew by around 3.5 percent, even after adjusting for an additional shopping day this year. Consumer electronics proved to be the hottest selling category, rising 20 percent. Larger retailers outpaced smaller vendors thanks in part to their use of free shipping and marketing via social-networking sites, said ComScore.

The City of Toledo is working toward extending a lease agreement with Owens Corning.
According to a city spokesperson, the city has been working with Owens Corning to develop an incentive package to support a decision by Owens to stay at its current location in downtown Toledo, its world headquarters.
The agreement would extend the company's lease for an additional eight years and includes provisions for tax financing. The city would also agree to transfer the property, currently owned by the City of Toledo, to Owens Corning if they remain at the site for 15 additional years.
Legislation is expected to appear before city council next week for consideration.

Alabama State University students have launched a petition drive and a series of protests in support of Dr. Joseph Silver. And Tuesday night, they took the protest to him, marching from the center of campus to his house.
Singing songs that echoed the Civil Rights era, the student gathered in the center of campus to protest the decision by the Executive Committee of the ASU Board of Trustees to place Silver on administrative leave. They say they stand behind him and what he is trying to do.
"That just shows his character," said Darnell Steele, a Junior at ASU. "Dr. Silver has no reason to lie about what he's talking about, no reason at all."
Some students held candles, while others held signs as they marched up the hill toward the president's house.
Silver and his wife came out of the house and addressed the students.
"I understand there are personal attacks trying to impugn my character," Silver said. "We're not going to stoop that low. We're going to stay focused on the issues. And what I want you students to know is this means so much to be."
He also said the stakes in this battle of top administrators are high.
"This is a watershed moment in the history of this University. The end result of this situation will determine the fate of this great institution."
Silver also addressed the two other employees placed on administrative leave: Vice-President Ed Patrick and Silver's assistant Joyce Outler. Patrick, like Silver, also worked at Clark Atlanta University. His appointment was separate from Silver. Silver called the action unfortunate. He plans to issue a formal public statement at noon on Wednesday.

Unsucceeding – Kyle Drake on SBE
Erik Guzman March 23rd, 2012
By the age of 29, Kyle Drake was a VP with one of America's largest banks. He had big bucks, a big house, and a position of prestige in his church. But Kyle's continuous, empty effort to balance his pursuit of accomplishments and his pursuit of God led him to take a leap of faith off the ladder of success.
(If you're on the front page of the site, click "Read More" to see audio player options.)
Join Kyle Drake on Steve Brown Etc. as we talk about his new book, Unsucceeding: Waking Up From My American Dream. Hang out with us as we discuss the seemingly crazy choices Kyle made and how they led him to true peace and happiness.
[Producer's Note: This is usually where I write a little about the accomplishments of our guest. However, Kyle is totally unsuccessful. He's not a big-time businessman, politician, actor, speaker, pastor or head of a ministry. He didn't even mean to write Unsucceeding. It just kinda happened while he was being unsuccessful. You can connect with Kyle at Unsucceeding.net.]

Recipe by MISSERSUE
"Jalapenos stuffed with marinated shrimp are wrapped in bacon and grilled. My husband got this recipe from a friend. We were all dubious about my husband attempting any sort of cooking but this recipe is delicious and super easy. Perfect for a night where you want to whip something up quick and great served on a bed of yellow rice."
Watch video tips and tricks
20 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 large clove garlic, minced
10 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
20 slices bacon
4 wooden skewers, soaked in water
I made a few changes in the recipe...I stuffed the whole jalapeno instead of the half and then wrapped it in bacon, also on some of them i stuffed some shredded mozzarella cheese with the shrimp and then wrapped. I also sprayed the outside with some italian salad dressing spray.....they were a HIT!!!
Honestly, these were just ok. Maybe my jalapeños were too big, but the shrimp and bacon were overwhelmed by jalapeño. I might try it again with smaller jalapeños, but am limited by what is for sale at the store.

great recipe!! everyone loved it and i'll definatly make it again. The second time i coated the peppers in a little oil and placed them in the oven for a while. i left the seeds in for the par bake so they would release their heat. i also cooked the bacon on a skillet so it would get a little crispier on the grill.
This was awesome! My boyfriend and our friends looooved this, only I messed up on the bacon part. I bought 28 shrimp but only one package of bacon so I had to cut the bacon in half and it worked out. I took the other person's advice about cheese - I cut up blocks of Monterey Jack. Absolutely yummy, and I'll stick with half a slice of bacon.
Awesome! I made two changes: 1) I partially cooked the bacon prior to preparing. 2) I added a small piece (the size of the jalapeno) of Monterey Jack cheese, which I put under the shrimp. These were so good and easy too. Next time I would parboil the peppers for perhaps 60 seconds so they aren't quite so crunchy. Other than that-perfection!!
These are amazing over a bed of white rice. I added in basil pepper jack cheese to the wrap and it really added a different dimension. While these are spicy, it somehow balances out with the crispy bacon and white rice. Wonderful.
Outstanding! I made this with whole jalapenos, and stuffed them with a little cream cheese as well as the marinated shrimp. I also used half a slice of bacon per pepper, which was plenty. They they were a bit fiddly to make, the end result was definitely worth it. Amazing! Thanks so much!
These took some time to assemble but WOW was it worth it. My 4th of July bash was a hit and these got tons of compliments. Thank you for posting this!!

Introduction: I wrote this story a while ago for a friend, and she liked it so much, she posted it. I have decided to write some more, so I am re-posting this story under my name, with a couple adjustments and the appropriate tags. I am interested in useful comments and seeing how it's rated, so please feel free. THIS STORY IS A WORK OF FICTION, INTENDED FOR ADULTS ONLY. IT DEPICTS SEX BETWEEN AYOUNG GIRL AND HER FATHER. IF THAT OFFENDS YOUR SENSIBILITIES, I'M SORRY, THAT CERTAINLY ISN'T MY INTENT. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT CONDONE OR ENDORSE ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES DETAILED IN THIS STORY, SOME OF WHICH MAY BE ILLEGAL IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS. INDEED, THE AUTHOR UTTERLY CONDEMNS ANY FORM OF ACTUAL ABUSE - PHYSICAL, SEXUAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND/OR EMOTIONAL - TO ANY PERSON OF ANY AGE. NAMES, CHARACTERS, PLACES AND INCIDENTS ARE FROM THE AUTHOR'S WARPED IMAGINATION. ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL EVENTS, OR LOCALES OR PERSONS, LIVING OR DEAD, IS ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL.
There are some things that dads were just not supposed to have to deal with. I mean, the usual growing up, especially for boys, shouldn't be a big deal. Dad's should be horsewhipped if they don't do their share in the raising and giving their kids attention, but there are somethings that if a guy attempts to do with a daughter, it's just going to get him into trouble.
It's not that I didn't know stuff. I'm pretty knowledgeable about parenting and things that kids have to learn as they grow up. But knowing everything is one thing. Explaining it to a child...especially your own child, is not all that easy. Throw in that, being a child, she has no idea what your talking about, it's like first contact with an extraterrestrial. Anyway, it's been Jessie and me for the last couple years. When she was ten, her mom left. Didn't say anything, just packed a bag and left. I watched after her thinking, "Where is she going?". That was the last I saw of her. I didn't mind to much. She was not very nice and a little crazy, too. Since then I have been taking care of Jess. It helped a couple months later when I hit the powerball and became an I-got-a-lot-of-fucking-money-aire. I won't go into how much money we have, but our house has more rooms then the local hospital. When Jess gets pissed off at me she just goes for a walk around the house and it takes me 2 days to find her. I kept working, for something to do, but not too hard. I spent as much time as I could with Jessie. I helped her with her homework and went to her school activities with her. We did almost everything together. So what happened?
One word. Tits.
Dad's are naturally a little sensitive on the subject of their daughter's puberty. They go through phases just like someone going through grief. First there is the cold sweats. This, for a rational, intelligent guy like me, is when that birthday party comes where you realize that she's of the right age for it to start. Denial comes soon after, as a kind of relief to the cold sweats. You realize that she still isn't showing any signs, so you still have time to put it off. Then there is shock. This happens when you notice that those little nipple buds start getting bigger and rounder, until they start pushing her t-shirt away from the rest of her body. Lastly, there is the run-and-hide phase, where your daughter keeps asking you to take her shopping for a bra and other feminine necessities. You mumble something, turn into a door frame, bounce off, adjust, and skitter away to some dark corner of the house. There are other phases like the wet-bra-drying -in-the-bathroom phase, the no-bra-wearing stage, and others along the way I won't get into, cuz I have yet to get to that point. I was still in denial until that fateful day that Jessie jumped into my lap and used me as a recliner while we watched an old horror movie.
I know your not supposed to let kids watch scary movies, but Jess thought they were just hilarious. At some point during the movie, Jessie pulled my arms around her and then rested across her chest. I noticed that her chest seemed a lot more squishy then usual, until Jess piped up with, "Dad, your squishing my boobs". I realized as my shock was kicking in, that my arms had tightened more and more around her. Might have been some kind of Freudian thing, but it took Jessie's voice to snap me out of my trance, and I immediately moved my arms down around her waist. It was hitting me hard when I let my attention of the movie drift to look over
Jessie's shoulder and see those cute little nipple buds at full attention. I couldn't tear my eyes away, looking down the collar of her t-shirt to see some serious swelling going on down there. Things ran through my head, making me wonder why I hadn't noticed this situation before.
I had grown up during the 70's, and my parents were still living the 60's. The attitude of teaching children to love their bodies was still going strong, and being nude in front of your child was not punishable by 1-3 in state lock-up. No, they weren't sitting around in the buff, but walking naked to the shower
happened often enough, and there was always the occasional shower in the rain. I always felt this was a healthy attitude, and now that the wife wasn't arguing about it anymore, I pretty much had the same attitude with Jessie. I thought back to the last few times I saw her nude form and had pictures in my head of her cute little butt running away from me, her hairless and pouty "cookie" between her legs, and pretty flat chest. As I went through my mental files, however, all the images I had of her chest, her boobs were smaller then mine. I couldn't produce a single recent memory of her now apparent headlights. I thought I had a handle on the whole female reproductive process, until I had to determine whether Jessie needed slims or semi-wide, or if the ones with wings came with landing gear or you had to buy that separately.
There also were no classes in college on buying bra's for pubescent girls, cuz I would have taken it if there was. Jessie's monthly's started promptly a month before her twelfth birthday and she was a sport about it. Of course, she came to me as nervous as any young girl telling her single father that she needed to go to the store and buy pads, but my own ineptitude at portraying the calm and supportive father while having a total meltdown inside my head, was so comical that Jessie started laughing so hard that she didn't recover until we were half way to the store. Luckily, Jessie knew exactly what it was that she needed, other then my wallet, and the time at the store wasn't particularly painful.
I had no issues with buying Jessie panties. I had been doing that for years already. Buying a bra had a lot more components to it then panties. First, there was telling her that it was time to get one, then being fitted for one, then picking out something appropriate for a 12 year old. I decided that what I needed to do was prepare for the event, knowing what I was going to say and do before it all happened. I worked out the speech I was going to give her, picked out a store that could do the fitting and still had a nice selection for young girls, and would not cause me undo embarrassment while I waited. On the fateful night that I picked to present the subject of wearing a bra with Jessie, she sat quietly through my whole speech and provided me with the only response that I wasn't prepared for.
I sat confused for a bit before I finally asked, "What do you mean no?" "I don't need to wear a bra. I don't want to wear one, I don't like them, I'm not not going to. If you want to buy a bra so bad, YOU wear it". I wasn't quite sure where to go with this. First off, I had done all this planning and put all this work into doing this the right way and it was all going to waste. On the other hand, it meant that I didn't have to deal with it. I decided to take the high road and let her have her way. The thing that I hadn't counted on is how hot those nipples looked. My final word on the matter was, "Well you better do something about those then, before you take an eye out". From that time on, Jessie started wearing two t-shirts, whenever she left the house. At home, she still pranced around in very little, and those nipples were always sticking out, begging to be fondled, and I was continually turning the other way to adjust my hard cock in my pants.
So it came to pass on a night that Jessie was once again in my lap. I was sitting in the recliner in just my boxers. Jess came into the room to watch TV with me in just one of my old shirts and panties. She didn't hesitate to climb over the arm of the recliner and settle on my lap. With an inappropriate amount of wiggling, she managed to settle with my cock neatly wedged between her asscheeks. With her bare legs laying over mine, almost the same length now, her smooth skin against mine was pleasantly arousing. It wasn't long before my cock was rock hard along the crease of her cute little ass.
The movie was a typical hero action fantasy thing. It gave me the opportunity to wrap my arms around Jessie and pull her tighter onto my lap. Every time that Jessie fidgeted, it felt like the cheeks of her ass was stroking my cock. She leaned her head back into me and I nuzzled her, softly rubbing my course beard across her bare neck. I looked down and the top of my shirt had opened up and I had a clear view of Jessie's beautiful new breasts, topped with those cherry nipples, that were as usual, standing straight out.
"That tickles, daddy", Jessie said squirming and giggling.
"Does it?", I asked in a quiet deep voice, breathing warm air down on her shoulder.
"Yeah, but it feels nice".
So now that I knew that her attention was on her neck, my hands slid under her shirt and caressed her belly. Not an overtly sexual act, but the intimacy of my hands across her soft skin made my balls boil. I could tell she was enjoying the attention, yet I assumed she was completely oblivious to my perverted desires. I let my hands relax and they slowly dropped down her stomach to her waist. I could feel the waistband of her little bikini panties against the edge of my hand. It made me squirm in my seat, grinding my hard cock into her ass. My hands broke apart and settled over each of her legs. She did a stretch over me and let her legs fall to the outside of mine. My fingertips had a mind of their own, as they naturally came to rest on her inner thighs, softly stroking them. We were at the part of the movie where the hero and the saucy "woman-in-charge", while they couldn't stand each other, realized that they wanted each other. Jessie was breathing steady and letting out a little purring noise, as she reached up over her head and put her arms around my neck behind her. The scent
of her hair made me forget about the movie. I was letting my hands move higher and higher, ever so slowly, as I stroked her thighs. I was so intent on my finger play on her thighs that it took me by surprise when I felt the gusset of her panties. I froze when Jessie closed her eye's softly and let out a barely audible moan.
"Are you ok, baby?"
"Mmmm Hmmm", was all that came from her. We both had gone from a state of total relaxation, well at least most of my body, to a much more rigid state. I edged my hands away from between her legs, when her arms came up and wrapped around mine, forcing my hands back together and pushing them back between her legs.
I now had a firm grasp on my daughter's pussy, and not only did she know it, she was making it happen. What was I supposed to do now? I'm sitting here contemplating the most perverted things a father can imagine, scheming of ways to get away with it without her knowing. At the same time, I am struggling with the morality of destroying my daughter's innocence. Mean while, my daughter is humping herself on my hand. Do I stop her? Do I use it to my advantage? I know that even if it's what she wants, it doesn't relieve me of my guilt. I'm the adult, the parent. Fuck it.
"Yes, daddy?"
"Whatcha doin?"
"I like your hands there, it feels good", she almost whispered, but trying to maintain the illusion that she was watching the movie. With her legs clamped down on my hands, I noticed that the crotch of her panties was very warm, and getting damper by the second. Her legs squeezed in pulses around my wrists. "But your breaking my elbows, baby".
"Sorry, daddy, but don't move your hands, ok?"
"Baby, you know I shouldn't be touching you there, right?", I asked quietly. It was like I was asking permission from my daughter to molest her. I was such a pig, but damn.
"I know, daddy, but I really like how it feels. You like it to, I can tell. That's not a spring poking me in the butt". Busted. Now what, my daughter knows I'm a perv.
"I'm sorry, baby. Maybe you should move."
"No, daddy, please? I like feeling you against me. And I like when you touch me there, too. I know we aren't supposed to, but I won't tell anyone. I promise!!"
Ok, now I'm supposed to argue against something that I really, really, really want to do. Somehow I don't think I'm going to win this one.
"Alright, but ease up on the elbows, baby, your turning them inside out. Just lay back and relax".
"Ok, daddy", Jess giggled, "but I don't know how relaxed I can be". Jess eased back again and relaxed her arms, but she kept her hands over mine, like she was worried I might pull them away again. This time there wasn't any pretense, I was stroking my daughter's pussy through her panties. My middle finger was tracing the crease in the middle lightly, back and forth, over and over again. Jess raised her knees up and put her barefeet on the seat of the recliner, opening her up even more. With each stroke of my finger, the crease went deeper and deeper between her round pussylips. Jessie was pushing back more and more insistently, each time her ass cheeks would clamp around my cock.
"You like that, baby?", I whispered into her ear, kissing it lightly.
"Oh, yes, daddy, please don't stop!", she responded in a strained voice.
"I won't, baby, I promise", I assured her quietly. I could feel the hard nub at the top of her cleft. I started to focus on it, making little circles around it, then back and forth over the top of it. Jessie was arching hard now, making little Uh-uh noises in rhythm with my fingers. I kissed up and down Jessie's neck and ears while I did my best to hold her against my cock. I let my free hand drift up her belly to those cute little mounds that had started all this. I let my hand slide over each of them, back and forth, feeling her hard nipples drag across my palm. Jessie pulled the crotch of her soaked panties to the side and jammed my fingers into her open pussy lips, but rather then penetrating her, I let my finger drag back and forth across her opening and clit.
Jessie's sounds became a mixed chant of "yes, daddy" and "faster, daddy" with an occasional "harder, daddy" thrown in. It didn't take long before her body went from pumping my hand to a couple seizure like jerks followed by her whole body clamped tight around my arm. I let my arm relax and provided just a little pressure against her pussy mound with my hand while she went through the thralls of her orgasm. I knew that she would be a little sensitive for a bit, so I just held her like that while her body slowly relaxed over me. After about 5 minutes, Jessie turned onto her side over me and curled up. In another 5 minutes I could hear her steady breathing against my chest, telling me that she had fell asleep.
The end of the movie was pretty typical. Everyone died including the woman co-star, except for the hero. Some hero. When the credits started to roll, I gently lifted Jessie up and carried her to her bed. As I laid her on the bed, I could see that her panties were still wet and clinging to her, and decided that it was a good idea to remove them. It was no small feat to remove them while she slept, but I eventually got them off her without waking. I covered her up with all her blankets, taking one last longing look at her bare asscheeks before laying them over her. I was about to throw her panties into the wash when my perverted nature got the better of me. Jessie had a mind-numbing orgasm, and I got to play with her pussy, but I was still horny beyond belief. I walked to my bedroom and closed the door. I pulled my boxers off over my cock, which wasn't as easy as it sounds.
I laid down on top of my bed and brought Jessie's panties to my face. They were still warm from her body heat, and the crotch was soaked. I breathed in her scent and then brought them to my mouth and tasted them. My other hand wrapped around my cock and slowly moved up and down. I knew I was only a couple minutes away from cumming as I flashed between the feeling of Jessie's ass on my cock and thoughts of running my tongue in and out of her little pussy. I took her panties from my mouth and wrapped them
around my cock and balls and started stroking faster. At the thought of the tip of my tongue sinking between Jessie's pussylips, I shot a long stream of cum past my belly up to my chest. Followed by 4 more lines of cum covering me from nipple to navel. I just laid there for a while as I regained my strength. I kept thinking how warm Jessie's sleeping body had been against mine. I wondered what she would think about her pervert father in the morning. Even as I was thinking about the consequences of my actions, I was contemplating
how I would get another opportunity to feel my daughter again.
I was still asleep. Kind of. It was that feeling you get before you wake up that you can think and tell yourself that it's time to get up, but your not really awake yet. There was a feeling, a really nice feeling, in the region of my balls, like they had a nice warm blanket covering them. As the blanket moved a bit, I knew that wasn't right. As I struggled to bring myself to full consciousness, I remembered a couple things from last night. First, I had fell asleep just as I was, laying naked on my back on top of the covers. Normally that wouldn't have bothered me too much, but the dried feeling over my belly reminded me that I had fell asleep before cleaning up. My next concern was that I was not alone. I forced my eyes open to see my daughter with her hand cupping my balls. Her hand was making soft massaging motions over my ball sack. Her eyes were glued to the pair of panties that were still wrapped around it and my raging hard cock. As it became more apparent that I was awake, Jessie turned and looked up at me with a smile.
"Good morning, daddy. Your thing is really big and hard. No wonder it was sticking into my butt last night. But why are my panties all wrapped around it?", she asked with a quizzical look on her face. I was trying my best to shake off the fog in my head now. I couldn't come up with any good excuse for this, so I decided to go right for the truth. It was all I had. "When I was touching you last night I got excited, baby. After I put you in bed last night I touched myself like I was touching you. Your panties felt so good when you were sitting on my lap, I wanted to feel them against me more", I explained, hoping that it would suffice.
"How?", she asked, not letting go of my balls.
"How did you touch yourself?"
"Kind of like how you are right now", I replied.
"And it feels like it did when you were touching me?"
"I don't know, I can only tell you how it feels to me, baby".
"Show me", she insisted. Still looking at me like I was a teacher and she was a student anxious to learn. I moved my hand to where I had it last night but Jessie stopped me. "No, daddy.
Show ME how to do it. I want you to feel as good as you made me feel last night".
Cautiously, I took her free hand in mine and wrapped it around the area that was still covered by panties. I moved her hand up and down along my shaft as I had done the night before. I showed her how to turn her wrist as she stroked my cock, and where it was most sensitive. I don't know what was getting me more turned on, the feeling of my daughter's hands around my shaft or the look on her face like this was a science experiment that she wanted to do well on. I wanted to warn her what was going to happen but all I could get out was "Oh, yes baby, stroke daddy's cock faster". When I came, it didn't shoot quite as far as the night before, but it was still enough to impress Jess. She kept stroking, albeit slower, while I unloaded more
and more cum onto my belly once again. I removed her hand and her panties and pulled Jess up to me and kissed her. I looked at her and said, "I think I need a shower. What would you
like for breakfast?"
"I think I want a shower to. Can I come in with you?", she asked smiling. It was hard to look at that face and say no to anything, and I couldn't think of anything that would convince me to say no. I opened the door to my bathroom for her and let her lead the way in.
I set the water temperature and led Jessie into the full glass enclosure of my deluxe shower. Jessie walked right in and soaked up the hot water coming from 3 different directions. It was like standing under a waterfall. I stopped a second and took in her beautiful adolescent form as water cascaded over it. The shower was 25 square feet inside, with a bench-like seat built into the side. I moved into the water with Jessie and our bodies bumped into each other as we turned and soaked ourselves. I grabbed the bodywash and started rubbing it over her body, lathering her from head to toe. I ran my hands over her tits and watched her nipples rise and poke straight at me.
My hands slid all over her smooth young body and pulled it up against mine. The feeling was so great that my cock began to stiffen again and poke out in Jessie's direction. Jessie didn't hesitate to grab it and start using the lather from her body to soap it up thoroughly. My hands engulfed her asscheeks and I let my fingers slide between them, pushing lather in along the crack of her ass. I pulled her out of the water for a minute and poured some shampoo on her head and started washing her long hair in an attempt to slow everything down for a bit. I loved the look of her body covered in white, with a few spots of flesh showing through. Jessie grabbed the shampoo and started returning the favor but couldn't reach my head as easily, so I sat down on the bench in front of her while she massaged my bristled scalp. She stood between my knees, allowing me to run my hands up and down her body, in particular her legs. Like a lot of young girls, Jessie was three quarters legs and it was fun to run my hands up and down them especially on the inside. After a couple minutes under the water, the soap was washed away and we were bare skin again.
I pulled Jessie to me and let her place a foot alongside me on the bench. I kissed my way down her belly to her bare pussy and noticed a slight bit of stubble over her mound, and I wondered how long she had been shaving it off. My kisses started covering her pussylips and I could feel her hands on my head again. The way she was posed, her pussy lips were naturally parted and my tongue was drawn to it like a magnet. By Jessie's reaction, I was right in assuming this was something that she had never felt before. There was no doubt at this point that she had been playing with her pussy, I just wasn't sure if anyone else had. I knew that she couldn't quite reach it with her own tongue, so this was going to be better then anything she had felt so far.
I slipped my tongue out from between her cuntlips and up to her clit. I ran my tongue around and around her little nub till her body started to shake and then moved back down and covered her whole pussy with my mouth. I moved my tongue in slowly and steadily, until my tongue was as deep inside her as it would go. I explored the walls of her tunnel with the tip of my tongue and lapped up every bit of the lubricant pouring out of her. I flattened my tongue and stretched her open and started fucking it in and out of her. She had moved her hands behind my head now and started fucking her hips into my face. To give her a little added excitement, I placed a finger over her little asshole and started pressing against it.
When I heard her familiar chant of "Oh, daddy, Yes, daddy", I moved my mouth to her clit again and started butterflying it with my tongue. I moved my thumb into her pussy and started fucking it in and out of her and within seconds, Jessie's knees were shaking under her own weight. I used my free arm to support her as she had a screaming orgasm against my mouth. She bent forward as she came and I was supporting her mostly with my head. I eased her onto my lap and pointed one of the shower heads at us to revive her and rinse us off one more time.
We had pancakes for breakfast with plenty of syrup. I made up a pound of bacon for the two of us, because I figured that we would need our energy, at least I did. As Jessie was stuffing pancakes into her mouth, she started feeling the need to start talking about what happened in the shower. "Daddy, what is it like to lick down there?", she asked stabbing some more squares of pancake. "Baby, at this point, I think it's ok for you to use words for your body parts, and as long as it's clean, licking pussy tastes great, especially yours", I tried to explain.
"Do you like having your cock licked?" she asked, looking to see how I was going to react. I had to smile a little at her following my lead. "I haven't actually heard of any guy not liking his cock sucked, baby, girls don't always like to do it though", I responded, trying to be as educational as possible. Somehow it justified all
the liberties I was taking with Jess.
"Yeah, but would you like it if I sucked YOUR cock?", she asked looking right at me, blushing a little. I saw the question coming all the way down the street, and my nervousness built as it got closer and closer. How far was I going to take this? How much was I going to risk?
"It would be nice, baby, I know. But I don't know if it's a good idea. You know we aren't supposed to be doing stuff like this together and I could get in lots of trouble. People aren't supposed to have sex with their daughters".
"I know daddy, we already talked about that. I still want to, and I promise not to tell anyone. It can be our secret".
"I don't know, baby...", I said, weakening.
Jessie got up from her chair and walked over to my side and gave me the biggest boo-boo lip possible and whispered into my ear. "Please, daddy. I want to make you feel as good as you made me feel".
With a loud sigh, I gave the classic parental response. "We'll see, baby. Let me think about it".
A few days went by and I could tell that Jessie wasn't forgetting much. Either was I. She occasionally snuck into the shower with me and we would soap each others privates up real nice. She had started sleeping naked in bed with me at night and it was honestly more then a man could stand.
Every time I rolled over I was facing her with the scent of hair in my face and my cock between her smooth asscheeks. It all came to a head, so to speak, late on a hot night. I was sitting in the recliner in just my boxers again, watching a movie when Jessie walked in completely naked and took up her usual place on my lap. The movie was a little racier then the last one we watched together, but I didn't mind as much. Clearly she had matured to a point where she could handle a little sexual content. She let her legs fall apart right away and all but pushed my hands down between her legs. There was a particularly torrid sex scene going on and I stroked the line between Jessie's pussy lips. Jessie started wriggling around on my lap and it didn't
take long for my cock to work it's way through the pee-hole in the boxers. Jessie felt it's hardness right away and climbed down off my lap and knelt in front of me. She got between my legs and wrapped her hand around my cock. She moved it up and down and turned her wrist like she had been doing it for years. She leaned forward and ran her tongue from the base to the tip and started over again. She continued this till she had made my cock slick all the way around. She leaned over a little more and her mouth engulfed the head of my cock, and her hand kept working. My hands clenched the arms of the chair as she bobbed her head up and down a little over the head of my cock and her hand worked the rest of it. The little moans and sucking
sounds she was making was more then I could take. "Oh, baby, daddy is going to cum...", I choked out.
This only made her hand move faster and it was all I could do from fucking her face and pushing my cock into the back of my daughter's young throat. I blew like a howitzer. I swear that I could even feel the recoil. All the pent up urges from the last week were released. The first two spurts had pretty much filled Jessie's mouth. The next two were running down Jessie's chin and dripping on those beautiful tits. Jessie just looked up at me smiling. Seeing the cum run down her body was all it took for me to reload. I picked Jessie up off the floor like she was still a little girl and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I pressed my lips to her cum-covered mouth and slid my tongue in as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
We kissed like that all the way to OUR bedroom, and when we got there, all I had to do was lean forward and let her lay back on the bed. Her legs hung over the edge, and I knelt down and planted my mouth directly over her clit and started playing with it with my tongue. I worked a finger inside her already slippery pussy. I wanted to get her as lubricated as possible for what I had planned. As my finger went deeper, I noticed that there was nothing left of a hymen to mention, probably from all the practicing she had been doing. This pretty much decided my next move for me. I slipped my tongue deep into her pussy a couple times and then spread Jessie's legs nice and wide.
I layed my cock over the top of her pussy lips and let it slide back and forth, covering it in Jessie's pussy juices. Jessie was bucking her hips up against it, trying to get more friction between my cock and her clit. Then I slid back a little more and pushed the head of my cock into my daughter's tunnel. It was tight, but slippery, and I eased my way into her, a little bit at a time. I slid a couple inches in before having to stop. I backed up and pressed in again, looking right into Jessie's eyes and watched them close as she whispered, "Yes, daddy". Half the length of my cock had made it inside my daughter, but I wanted it all the way in. I wanted to make her feel better then she ever had before. I slid back again and pushed until I could feel my balls up against Jessie's ass. I stayed there for a minute, pressing harder against her, giving her some time to get accustomed to me being inside her. I started moving painstakingly slow, just little movements at first.
It was easy to say that I wanted Jessie to have a mind blowing orgasm, but the feeling of her pussy around my cock was almost more then I could stand. With my cock still embedded inside her, I raised Jessie's legs till her feet were at my face. I kissed the soles of her feet from heel to toe, then up to her ankles. The whole time I rocked back and forth, moving my cock inside her, making more room to move around. I reached around her leg and placed a thumb directly over her clit and massaged it in circles, steadily moving my cock all the way back, and all the way back in. My free hand moved up to her tits and began working her nipples back and forth. Jessie was biting her lower lip and I started pushing into her with more and more force. I started becoming more vocal with Jess with each stroke, and she willingly followed suit.
"Oh, God, Jessie, you feel so good. Do you like feeling daddy's cock inside you?"
"Please, daddy, fuck my pussy! Fill me up with your cum. You feel so good inside me! Fuck me hard!!"
"Mmmmm, yes baby, daddy's going to fuck you so good. I want you to cum nice and hard on daddy's cock".
"Yes, daddy, yes, oh yes, fuck me daddy. Your making me cum, daddy. I want you to cum to. Cum inside me daddy".
I felt the walls of Jessie's pussy clench down hard on my shaft and it was all I could take. As she arched herself up into me as she came, I shot my first load of cum deep inside her. I pulled back and slammed my cock into her again, shooting another load of cum into her. After doing this a third time I collapsed over her, grabbed hold of her body and rolled her over me.
She had to hit me on the head to get me to release my grip on her so that she could breath again. My arms fell to the bed and I just laid there with her head on my chest and my cock slowly sliding out of her. I realized that from now on, our relationship was going to be different. We would still be father and daughter, but with a nicely added bonus of being free and open with each other like we never had been before.

In All Directions
The omnidirectional MBL speakers, which use a unique pulsating quasi-spherical array of ribbons, make a strong argument for the benefits of this design approach. Featured in their room when I visited was the new 111F ($35,000/pair), which uses the "Radialstrahler" drivers for the treble and upper midrange, with conventional drive-units used for the lower frequencies. A big change from the earlier version I reviewed in 2002 was the use of side-firing direct radiators for the bass rather than the 111B's coupled-cavity LF enclosure. These are mechanically coupled to eliminate vibrational excitation of the enclosure.
The sound of the 111Fs, driven by MBL's superbly engineered electronics, was unforced and sweet-sounding, and with low frequencies that were better-integrated with the midrange than used to be the case with the earlier 111. The F, I was assured by the company's founder Wolfgang Meletzky, stands for "fantastic." I wouldn't disagree.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Providers & Participants Still Wary of Mental Health Service CutsBy Dave Franzman, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - People who both provide and depend on mental health services are still uneasy about the state's move to a regionalized system of providing care.
Last year, lawmakers voted to provide mental health services by grouping counties into regions instead of the current county-by-county basis. The state is currently in the process of figuring out how the regional system will work and how to provide funding until it takes effect in mid-2014. One example of the funding shortfall is the Anchor Center opened by the 6th Judicial District Department of Correctional Services in Cedar Rapids. The building opened in 2008 and there's room for 26 inpatients. The idea was to provide treatment space for those in custody or on probation or parole who needed mental health services. But the state never provided funding the approximately one and a half million dollars a year needed to staff the inpatient wing of the approximately $4-million dollar building. Right now, staffers use it to store odds and ends which could possibly make it some of the most expensive closet space in the county. Rob Metzger, treatment services manager for 6th District Correctional Services, said it's tough to have a useful facility that can't be used. "It is frustrating. Much as anything, we see examples of people in the community who have been incarcerated because unfortunately we didn't have the services for them—services we could provide here at the building," Metzger said. Mental health providers and some who depend on those services joined State Senator Rob Hogg (D-Cedar Rapids) for a noon hour meeting Friday to discuss what lawmakers might do in the upcoming legislative session. One participant was Kay Fisk who directs Neighborhood Transportation Services. Fisk said one of her group's programs that uses cabs to give mental health services participants rides to work and school is jeopardized by the cuts in funding. "We're good and solid in 2013. But beginning in 2014, we're dead in the water," Fisk said. Fisk emphasized the funding shortfall only impacts the cab service, not the regular transportation program. Sen. Hogg reminded participants it's important to keep up the pressure to insure lawmakers provide enough funding to keep services going. "We've got to step up as a state and say we're not going to reduce services," Hogg said.

This is an excellent essay by Dr. Susan Love from the New York Times. As you all know, she is a pioneer in breast cancer advocacy and has devoted her life to caring for women with breast cancer and, now, working to prevent and/or cure it. She is closely affiliated with the National Breast Cancer Coalition (www.breastcancerdeadline2020.org). If you are not familiar with them and their work, you should be.
Here it is:
February 6, 2012Real Race in Cancer Is Finding Its CauseBy SUSAN LOVE, M.D.A decision by the nation's leading breast cancer advocacy group, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to largely cut off financing for breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood set off howls of outrage last week. Once again, it seemed, political gamesmanship was jeopardizing women'shealth.The widespread anger forced Komen to reverse its decision, and it has certainly reinvigorated the women's health movement. But the furor misses an important fact: Women have been led to believe that screening is the best prevention. In reality, we still do not know what causes breast cancer, which means we really do not knowhow to prevent it, either. That has pushed us to focus on looking for cancers that are already there, a practice long based on the assumption that all cancers were the same, grew at a similar rate and were visible in the breast for a period of time before spreading. It made sense: If you could find cancers earlier, you could save lives.Indeed, the original screening study done in the 1950s on postmenopausal women in New York demonstrated a 30-percent decrease in deaths from breast cancer. It also led to the conjecture that if we just carried out more screening at a younger age, and more often, we could improvethese statistics and "win the war" on breast cancer.But decades later, the success rate of screening remains nearly the same, even with much better imaging: routine mammography screening results in a 15- to 20-percent decrease in mortality in women over age 50.Why hasn't the situation improved? It turns out that there are at least five, and probably more, different types of breast tumors, growing and spreading at different rates. Some are so aggressive that they have almost always spread before they are visible on mammogram. But other tumors, if left alone, may never spread at all and do not need to be found.This more complicated picture explains why mammography has not further decreased mortality. The X-rays find some cancers at a point that makes a lifesaving difference - but not all of them. British researchers estimated last year that one death from breast cancer is prevented for every 400 women ages 50 to 70 who are screened regularly over a 10-year period.Does this mean we should stop screening? No, it is still the best tool we have. But we have to start looking for other approaches to decreasing deaths from breast cancer.Consider cancer of the cervix. First, we screened for it with Pap smears; now, with the HPV vaccine we hope to prevent it altogether. This is where we need to be focusing our money and efforts in breast cancer: finding the cause, so that we can prevent it from happening in the first place.At the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, for instance, we perform research on the breastlooking for the cause, and we are encouraging scientists to recruit from over 360,000 women with and without breast cancer, our Army of Women, who have volunteered to help them in research to stop this disease. Other groups, including Breast Cancer Action and the AvonFoundation, are focusing on the potential environmental causes. The National Breast Cancer Coalition has set a deadline of 2020 to find a breast cancer vaccine.We should continue to speak up when we think health care services are in jeopardy, but we cannot be satisfied with the status quo. We must move breast cancer advocacy to the next level, beyond screening for cancers that are already there, even beyond the cure, to finding the cause.That is true prevention.
Dr. Susan Love is president of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation in Santa Monica, Calif.
