The Academy of Achievement is a United States-based non-profit organization that aims to bring high profile, successful people from various fields together with "young achievers" to inspire them to succeed. The Academy was founded in 1961 by Hy Peskin[5][6] (who later changed his name to Brian Blaine Reynolds), and is now led by his son, Wayne Reynolds. The organization is based in Washington, D.C.
The organization presents its annual "Golden Plate" award to high achieving individuals. Notable recipients of the award include Barack Obama, Jonas Salk, [7]Michael Jordan, [8]Wole Soyinka, John Updike, [8] Ronald Reagan,[9]John Wayne, Mickey Mantle, [2]Maya Angelou, [10]Desmond Tutu, Neil Armstrong, Ray Charles, [11]Aretha Franklin, [12]James Watson and Francis Crick, Tim Berners-Lee, [13]Dizzy Gillespie, [13][14]Audrey Hepburn, [15]George Lucas, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Henry Kissinger, Roger Bannister, Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, [16][17]George H. W. Bush, Benazir Bhutto, Shimon Peres, Mikhail Gorbachev, Lech Walesa and Steve Jobs.[18][19]
The Academy of Achievement was founded by [20] Sports Illustrated and LIFE magazine photographer Brian Reynolds in 1961[6][21] to honor high achievers and to inspire young people by introducing them to high achieving individuals.[10] On his many assignments as a magazine photographer, Brian Reynolds realized that high achieving individuals rarely had the opportunity to meet and share ideas with leaders in other disciplines.[6] And, with that vision, Reynolds created the Academy of Achievement to bring together accomplished individuals from diverse fields of endeavor to meet one another and encourage the next generation of young leaders. The first event hosted by the Academy was a "Banquet of the Golden Plate" on September 9, 1961 in Monterey, California.[22] The inspiration for the naming of the Banquet of the Golden Plate was the gold plate service "used only on very special occasions" at The Palace Hotel in San Francisco in the 1920s.[22][23] At the Academy program, individuals were awarded the Academy's "Golden Plate" for their contributions as leaders in science, the arts, public service, sports and industry. The first honorees were chosen by a national board of governors and included Charles Mayo, Willard F. Libby, and Wernher von Braun. Edward Teller gave the keynote speech.[22][24] The second annual Banquet of the Golden Plate was held in San Diego, California on December 29, 1962. Among the guests of honor in 1962 were Murray Gell-Mann, Robert Stack and Rafer Johnson. Louis Nizer gave the keynote speech.[25] The 50th anniversary Banquet of the Golden Plate was held in Washington, D.C. on October 27, 2012. The guests of honor at the 2012 Summit included Leon Panetta, Eric Holder, Sonia Sotomayor, Ray Dalio, David Brooks and Louise Glück.[26]
The Academy's mission is to recognize outstanding achievement in a variety of fields, including the arts, business, science, politics and the humanities.[16][27] The organization also aims to provide inspiration and encouragement to young people to reach a high level in their careers and personal interests by bringing them into contact with successful individuals.[28][29] According to The Press Enterprise, the organization's founder Brian Reynolds wanted the Academy to teach young people about "adversity and how to overcome it".[30]
Organization and funding[edit]
Brian Reynolds led the Academy as its executive director[21][24] until 1985, when his son Wayne Reynolds assumed leadership.[2][31] Wayne Reynolds is the current chairman of the Academy of Achievement, which he manages with his wife, Catherine B. Reynolds,[31] the vice chairman.[32] In the 1990s, Reynolds moved the organization from Malibu, California to its current headquarters in Washington, D.C.[2] In addition to the Academy's annual events, it also operates the Museum of Achievement and a website, which features biographies and videos of interviews with Academy of Achievement inductees.[16][33]
The Academy, which operates as a non-profit organization,[34] was initially funded with Brian Reynolds' personal wealth. More recently, donations from corporate sponsors support its activities[2][31] and the Academy's website states that its funding is primarily provided by the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation.[8][35][36]
In 2007, the Washington Post reported that the Academy is a beneficiary of the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation, which is led by Catherine Reynolds.[37] The Academy has received $9 million of the more than $100 million in donations made by the Foundation to an array of arts, education and social enterprise organizations.[38]
International Achievement Summit[edit]
The International Achievement Summit was first hosted in 1961.[22] The meeting was originally called the annual "Salute to Excellence" and was later renamed the "International Achievement Summit". This annual meeting gives exceptional graduate students the opportunity to interact one-on-one with Nobel Prize-winners in the arts and sciences, public servants, prize-winning journalists, explorers, humanitarians, financiers, athletes, and entertainers. The Academy invites leaders in these categories to attend the Summit and address the students at a series of symposiums and roundtable discussions. The Academy also organizes dinners and other social events where the students are able to meet with honorees or to listen to them speak on various topics. Approximately 30 previous awardees and 20 new ones interact with 200 domestic and international graduate students in an informal setting over the course of four days. The summit concludes with a formal dinner where that year's honorees are officially presented with their Golden Plate awards and inducted into the Academy of Achievement.[2][10][14][21][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]
Until 1999, the meeting was held in a different U.S. city each year. In 1999, the event became the "International Achievement Summit", when the Academy held its first international meeting in Budapest, Hungary.[16][48] Subsequent Summits have been held in London, England (2000),[27][49][50] Dublin, Ireland (2002), Washington, D.C. (2003),[16] Chicago, Illinois[29] New York City (2005), Los Angeles, California (2006), Washington, D.C. (2007), Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (2008), Cape Town and Singita Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa (2009), Washington, D.C. (2010), and Washington D.C. (2012).[26]
Golden Plate awardees[edit]
The "Golden Plate" is the Academy of Achievement's official award, which is presented to honorees at the end of its annual Summit. The Academy's Golden Plate Awards Council annually reviews a broad spectrum of candidates for invitation to the Summit. From this list, the council, composed of past "Golden Plate" honorees of the Academy, selects the 20 new awardees. Award recipients are selected for significant achievement in their fields.[16] The Academy has presented awards to numerous honorees, who have included Nobel Prize winners, presidents, scientists, athletes, authors and entertainers.[8][51] Notable awardees include Muhammad Ali, Steven Spielberg, Frank Capra, George Cukor, William Wyler, Clare Boothe Luce,[34][52]Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Bill Russell, [7][17]Rosa Parks,[8]Elie Wiesel, Itzhak Perlman,[53]Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, [2] Robert Rauschenberg,[15]Ralph Lauren,[15]Oprah Winfrey,[17][54][55]Barbra Streisand, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay,[2]Toni Morrison, Wynton Marsalis, August Wilson, Edward Albee, Stephen Sondheim, Harold Prince, Mike Nichols, Jim Henson, Jimmy Carter, John Wooden, Bear Bryant,[56]Elizabeth Taylor, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorsese, [18]Wayne Gretzky, Peyton Manning, Phil Knight,[54]Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Stephen Bechtel, John D. MacArthur,[39]Helen Hayes, Julie Andrews, Linus Pauling, Edward Teller, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Billy Graham, Frank Gehry, Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, Buckminster Fuller, Jane Goodall, Sandra Day O'Connor, [10]Coretta Scott King, Leontyne Price, [21]Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Alex Haley, Doris Kearns Goodwin, David McCullough, James Michener, Herman Wouk, Gerald Ford, John Glenn, Chuck Yeager and [16]Colin Powell.[18][19]Steve Jobs received the award in 1982, when he was 26, and in his speech to the Academy student delegates, he reflected upon innovation and creativity and said, "but a lot of it's the ability to sorta zoom out like you're in the city and you can look at the whole thing from about the 80th floor down at the city, and while other people are trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B reading these stupid little maps, you can just see it all out in front of you....But the key thing is that if you're gonna make connections which are innovative, you've got to connect two experiences together, that you have to not have the same bag of experiences as everyone else does, or else you're going to make the same connections, and then you won't be innovative, and then nobody will give you an award."[57]
Student delegates[edit]
Several hundred graduate students from the U.S. and overseas attend the "International Achievement Summit" each year. The summits were originally attended by high school students chosen based on their academic achievement and extracurricular activities.[21][28][42] More recently, the graduate student attendees of the International Achievement Summit have been selected from a roster of recipients of scholarship and exchange programs including Rhodes, Fulbright, Truman, Gates Cambridge, Marshall,[16] Soros,[58] Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Fellows[59] and White House Fellows and faculty nominations from leading universities.[16] Notable student delegates include:[8]

This is another independent story
Let me Preface by saying that this is not related to any of my other stories. I had one of the forum Goddesses edit it for me, she's just handy like that and I want to thank her for her diligent and hard work.... GREAT GOOGAMOOGA there were plenty of errors there is probably still one or two there. I did my best on it and I never really asked her to proof read for me I just wanted her opinion so thanks again to her. Now that that is out of the way gentle readers please enjoy this tale, please once you have finished visit the stories forum and look around and see if you can vote for it... or maybe one of my capable colleges stories will catch your fancy. Thank you enjoy.
I met Ellen at a party, and that's really how it all started. It was a Saturday night and my friend had invited me over to his house for a party I had been there maybe a dozen or so times and this was a big one, at least by his standards with about fifty people. He lived in a house that was built in the fifties, located in an older part of town, all pier and beam construction. Most of everyone was out in the back, where the kegs were, I helped myself to a cup of the cold amber stuff. Surveying the scene I saw he had a bar-b-q going and I got a plate of food and looked to find a place to sit down and eat.
I found myself walking back into the house and I pushed open one of the doors to a sitting room where I knew there was a couch and the bathroom was easily accessible there as well. I walked in on two women sitting on the couch talking.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," I said and started to back out of the room.
"No, don't go you tall glass of water you," the older of the two said, though in my book she looked pretty good. "You're just in time to settle an argument"
She patted the couch between them and I awkwardly sat down. I took a sip from my beverage and "So do you have a big cock?"
I almost choked at the question, I had beer running out my nose and tears in my eyes I coughed a few times and tried to catch my breath. "I'm sorry what?"
"Do you have a big dick?"
"I don't know I guess."
"He guesses it's big," the older woman said to the other. "Quite the modest young man."
"I bet it's as big as my pinky," the younger said.
"Oh, do you now. And what are you putting on the table?"
"Hmm," the younger woman thought for a minute. "I bet my top."
"I'll see that bet and I'll bet I can at least get a fistful of cock."
"Yes, I'll bet everything but my panties."
"If he's bigger than a fist full then I'll get on my knees and make you cum right here in this room."
"If he's bigger than a fist and two fingers," she held up the two, "then I'll eat you and then let you jerk him
off onto my face, and I'll wear it the rest of the evening."
"Bullshit!" the younger woman said.
"Well then raise the bet."
"If he's bigger than a fist and three fingers I'll eat you out and let him give me a facial topless and I'll stay that way till I get home."
"Oh if he's bigger than two fists I'll let him fuck me while I eat you."
"If he's bigger than two fists I'll bend over right now and he can fuck me."
"You didn't raise the bet," the older woman said.
She turned to me and opened my pants and pulled my cock out. It was already hot in there and this betting game had really gotten me going. She put one hand around my cock and the other girl put her hand on top of that. She older woman leaned forward and took the head of my dick in her mouth, as the two women squeezed it a glob of precum oozed out and the older woman slurped it up.
The younger woman stood and then hesitated a moment. "Do you have a condom?"
"Condom," the older woman retorted, "There was nothing mentioned about condoms in the bet."
"Oh I…"
"Pull them down Emmy," the older woman said.
As she stood up beside Emmy, Emmy bent over and pulled down her shorts and panties in one swift move as the older woman helped me up and got behind me and quite deftly guided my cock to Emmy's slick slot. Emmy moaned as I pushed forward, she pushed back against me.
"Please don't cum in me," Emmy said looking back the woman behind me bumped her hips into mine and it almost forced Emmy face down into the couch.
The woman slid her fingers lightly under my shirt, and started gently tweaking my nipples as I found a rhythm that was agreeable to me.
"Cum in my slut friend." the woman whispered in my ear, "Make her slosh with your baby juice," she breathed as she suckled my earlobe and tweaked my nipples.
I don't know exactly what it was, all the stimulation or what but I was very quickly pounding the Emmy's pussy and I could feel my balls boiling up. A few seconds later my cock was spraying the inside of Emmy's love canal the other woman held on to Emmy's hips holding us in place, Emmy went wild when she felt my hot cream exploding inside her and finally the woman let go and Emmy slumped on the couch face first.
The woman smiled at me and handed me a business card. "Emmy was just married last week, she has been trying to get knocked up by her husband," she smiled evilly. "Call me later," she kissed me lightly on the cheek and exited the room.
I pulled up my pants, and collected my plate and beer and followed. I didn't see the woman again and it wasn't until the next day that a looked at the card. Ellen Ellis, it read and there was a phone number. I washed my face and brushed my teeth and went out and worked my little side business doing computer repairs around the neighborhood. I came home with a fist full of dollars and sat down to a cold Tecate, a little salt and lime and a microwave burrito. I stared at the card that I left on the kitchen table while I chewed and slowly emptied the beer. I picked up my cell and a few minutes later the phone was ringing.
"This is Ellen," the voice said.
"Hi Ellen, I'm Jake from last night."
"I don't recall meeting a Jake."
"Well, you didn't really give me a chance to introduce myself, you watched me fuck your friend Emma, I think it was."
There was almost a tangible grin on the other end of the phone, "Yes Jake, why don't you come over, I'll make you something to eat and we can chat."
"Chat, um okay, I already ate?"
"Something light then," Ellen said and she gave me directions.
Twenty minutes later I stepped up to a fairly well-appointed house. The house was sort of a grayish brick, modest yet tastefully decorated, I knocked on the door. It opened as I was surveying the landscaping which seemed to be lacking to a degree. A young girl opened the door, "Hello," I said. "Is Ellen home?"
"MOMm," the Girl yelled. "Some guy at the door for you."
Ellen appeared a few moments later dressed in a coal colored pleated skirt and a tank top, she led me into the living room and had me sit on the couch, as she walked to the kitchen, which was just through an archway. She returned a few seconds later with a tray of crackers and an assortment of cheese, and meat.
"You met Amanda I see," she said as she set the tray down.
"Yes, quite charming," I said, to which Ellen rolled her eyes. I grinned at her.
"So do you have a girlfriend?" she asked.
"Uh, no. Living with my parents really kind of puts a kybosh on the whole girlfriend deal, they ask me where I live and when I tell them with my parents, loser apparently flashes in front of their eyes."
Ellen's laugh was musical. She got up and went into the kitchen for a minute and returned with two salads dressed in sort of bacon vinaigrette. It tasted wonderful and I scarfed it down like I hadn't eaten anything in a week. She smiled and ate as she watched me make the salad disappear. She then presented wine glasses with a dark red wine in them.
"You know I'm only twenty," I said.
"That's okay a little wine won't hurt besides I seem to remember you drinking a beer at the party."
"Touché," I laughed.
"I have an offer for you," she said, "but you have to be willing to amuse me."
"Oh what do you have in mind?"
"You could move in here with me and my daughter. I have a spare room, say two hundred a month maybe three to cover groceries and the like."
"What about your husband?"
"He died in an Oil field explosion ten years ago."
"I see. I'm sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry about it happened I don't think about it much anymore."
"So three hundred a month? Isn't that kind of … cheap?"
"Yes, there is a catch. You have to do some things for me."
"Oh little things like fuck who ever I tell you to, and do it so I can… …Observe shall we say?"
"You want to watch?"
"Sometimes, sometimes I might want to partake as well."
"Okay, and….?"
"And if you do that you can not only fuck me anytime you want you can… ask me to do things whatever strikes your fancy," she grinned wickedly.
"And you can't touch my daughter… I doubt you would want to… she is still going through that awkward stage."
"What about girlfriends?"
"Bring them over fuck them to your heart's content."
"Really, you wouldn't be like jealous or anything?"
Ellen smiled. "I like to watch, the kinkier it is the more I like it."
"So I could bring a girl over and fuck her and then right after she leaves…"
"I'll suck your eyeballs through your cock," she shrugged and one sleeve of the tank top dropped half revealing her smallish breasts.
"Okay" I said sipping the wine she handed me a cracker sandwich and I savored the contrast of flavors as she sidled up beside me. "Um, just wondering what about Emma?"
"Oh Emily she is one of my good friends… she will be around, I'll bring all sorts of women around for you to sample."
"Um, why?"
"Because silly boy, you're young you need to fuck as many girls as you can and get it out of your system, otherwise later…" she let the tank top drop and I could see her reddish capped breasts, the nipples were long and hard and surrounded by a ring of red flesh about the size of a beer bottle.
"What I asked," she had finished saying something.
She laughed, "I said otherwise you will cheat on the right girl."
"How do you know you aren't the right girl?"
She laughed, "I'm only in this for my own personal pleasure… what I'm giving you is sort of a gift."
She stood and took me by the hand and led me back into her bedroom. She closed the door and locked it, turning she shed her skirt and my pants in what seemed like the same movement. I felt the her warm breath as her lips enveloped my cock and she easily slurped half of my cock into her mouth before she looked up at me. Her brown eyes sparkled at me as she inhaled the other half of my cock. My knees were weak as I felt her throat contracting around my cock and after what must have been a minute or two but felt like forever. She released my cock from her wonderful mouth and pulled me onto the bed.
Ellen pushed me down and straddled my hips her hands deftly guiding my cock into her sweet wet snatch. She started first by just rubbing the tip of my cock against the swollen lips of her pussy, the feeling was wonderful and I found myself thrusting up to try and get inside of that sweet honey pie. When she finally lowered herself onto my hips it was like I was sliding into a tub of warm butter, she rested there impaled on my cock for some time, and then I could feel her muscles start flexing and contracting around me.
I was delirious with the pleasure this woman was giving to me. She still didn't move and I reached up and squeezed her breasts with my hands. She pulled her tank top off to reveal her small breasts capped with large juicy nipples. I leaned forward to take on in my mouth and when I did she started to flex her hips grinding and riding up and down my cock. It wasn't long before I was spurting hot cream into her wonderful magical pussy. She didn't stop she just kept riding and through some trick that she had she kept me hard and kept me from shrinking. I am not sure how many times I coated the inside of her snatch with cream but it was more than three, and her thrashing and moaning and her own orgasms were not only spectacular to feel but incredible to watch.
I woke up it was getting dark out and she gave me a cup of hot chocolate before I got out of bed, I drove home to tell my parents the news, they took it pretty well, and it took about a week for me to get everything that was mine moved over to Ellen's house.
I still got up around ten to go and do the odd jobs that I normally did for money. When I got up, there was a plate on the counter, and a note. I ate the food on the plate, a cheese omelet and some bacon and the coffee in the coffee maker warmed up nicely in the microwave. I read the note;
My friend Melissa is having problems with her computer, call her and see if you can help her. Call me first though please!
I picked up my cell and called Ellen, she explained that Melissa was kind of a shut in and very conscious about her weight. She wanted to see if I could turn her into an out and out slut, and have her begging to get my cock. That seemed a little odd to me but she said that if I would open her Instant messenger and let her watch over Melissa's web cam, I packed up my things and called Melissa next.
I was at her door half an hour later. Melissa was dressed in sweats and she was about five feet tall and was one of the more Rubenesque women I had ever been in close proximity too. She led me to her computer, which was in her bedroom. She asked if I needed anything and I said a drink would be nice as I went to work on her computer. It took me all of about thirty minutes to fix it, and Melissa was sitting on her bed watching me as I did it. I turned on her web cam in a moment when she went out of the room and to the bathroom.
"Jake?" Melissa began. "Are you like dating anyone right now?"
"No, not really"
"Oh um…" she lowered her head and seemed to be looking for the proper words to say.
"I'm done here why don't you try it out," I told her.
She sat down and opened up a browser it immediately opened to XNXX.com . (which is where you should be reading this story, if you're not let me know! Please, crackedjaguar at hotmail thanx)
"Oh I didn't mean um…" she stammered a bit.
I reached over and took the mouse from her trembling hand. My mouth was next to her ear as I clicked in the search box and saw all the naughty things that she had searched for. I picked one at random and let the movie play.
"Do you masturbate to this?" I whispered in her ear as a chunky girl stroked two guys' cocks.
"Uh… uhuh" she whimpered.
"Put your hands on the desk," she hesitantly lifted her hands and put them on the desk. "Watch."
I had picked a long movie reading the time code in advance and so after a few seconds of buffer the movie played without interruption. I brushed her hair away from her neck and lightly began to kiss her neck slowly working up and down the side pausing to nibble her earlobe. She shivered and trembled while I kept an eye on her hands, when they lifted from the desk.
"Keep your hands on the desk Melissa, if you take them off the desk, that means it is time for me to leave."
I could see her biting her lip in nervous frustration and she set them back on the desk. I went back to kissing her neck pulling her shoulder length brown hair away as I licked up and down the back of her neck. Her hands were balled in fists now. I slipped a hand under her sweat top and cupped one of her enormous breasts.
"Do you want me to take your shirt off?" I whispered as I suckled her earlobe.
"Mmmm yes… please."
She helped me remove the sweatshirt revealing what can only be described as an industrial bra. When her hands moved back to the desk I leaned over and dragged my lips across her neck. I lightly bit and teased her neck for a while, while she watched the screen and I let my hands slide around her body and cup her breasts. She moaned when I exposed one of her breasts, pulling it from its confining restraint and rolled her nipple between my fingers. My other hand slid down and she leaned back and pushed her hips forward as my hand slipped under the waistband of her sweat pants. My fingers searched through the swampy thicket of hair until I found the familiar cleft between her legs as I slipped my fingers up and down the length of her slit I pulled her hair to one side and nipped and sucked at her exposed neck.
She let out a long low moan as my fingertip tickled and circled her swollen clit. I kept on occasionally biting her neck as her body flushed and she began to tremble.
"Cumming" she gasped as her entire body spasmed in ecstasy. "Stop," she gasped.
"If I stop then I'm leaving," I whispered in her ear.
"No don't go," her hips bucking to evade my fingers which were lightly rubbing her excited clit.
"When I say cum I want you to cum for me," I smiled up at the camera as I bit her neck.
"Yes" she whimpered. I started teasing and rubbing her clit harder, faster and as she was already on a hair trigger she groaned "Oh god," her hips bucked against my hand as she thrashed through another orgasm.
"Not yet!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't I couldn't help it," she said as I pulled away.
"I don't know Melissa, you can't follow my instructions."
"Please…" she whimpered. "Anything… I'll make it up to you."
"Okay, but you have to do exactly what I tell you."
"Yes," Melissa replied.
"Good." I reached over and turned off the movie.
"Get undressed."
"Yes sir," she said, her voice filled with all kinds of hope.
"Get on the end of your bed." I stood next to the computer looking down at as she sat at the end of the bed. "Put your legs up so I can have a good view of your pussy Melissa."
She hesitantly pulled her legs up and sat on the edge of the bed with her feet on either side of her ass. Her pussy was covered with a dark thicket of fur that seemed to have gone wild and was climbing her generous stomach and the insides of her thighs.
"Now I want you to stay like that and masturbate for me," I told her
Slowly, she lowered one hand down towards her steaming gash and she looked up at me for a second before dropping her eyes to what she was about to do. She slowly stroked the outside of her pussy, the wet hairs matted and clinging to her fingers.
"Faster," I said. She started moving her hand faster I walked up to her and said, "Don't stop until you cum and don't cum until I tell you."
A strangled affirmative was about all she could manage around her heavy breathing. I took one of her magnificent mammary in my hands and her eyes tracked as I brought the mammoth breast to my lips. I took the nipple between my lips and pulled at it with my teeth, then let my teeth drag on it until it popped free. Melissa groaned as I repeated this, her groans getting more and more urgent with each passing moment. I sucked her nipple enjoying the texture and feeling of the wonderful nipple in my mouth. I squeezed her nipple between my fingers and leaned over and whispered into her ear… "Cum."
She did as she fell back on the bed and thrashed for several moment her fingers apparently on autopilot as they thrust into her sopping we slit. She lay there on her bed her eyes closed gasping. I wrote a note on a pad of paper,
Melissa, I will call you tomorrow; please clean up your pussy.
I turned off the camera and walked out the door locking it behind me. I drove back home and took a quick shower before heading out again to actually do some real work. I came back home with a few hundred dollars in my pocket and was greeted by Ellen at the door.
"That was fucking awesome," she said. As I sat on the couch she handed me a cold Negra Modelo. I sipped at it as she continued her interrogation, "Did you fuck her?"
"No," I said. "Not yet."
Ellen smirked back at me, "Ooh, you are a naughty one and with some self-control, too."
"Thanks," I said and tipped the beer back again.
"I told her to clean up…" I dropped off when Amanda walked into the room.
"What are you guys talking about?" she asked.
"Nothing that concerns you," Ellen retorted.
"You were talking about fucking weren't you? I want to hear about it"
"Young lady you will mind your own business and not listen in on adult's private conversations."
Ellen got up there was a fire in her eyes and she grabbed Amanda by the arm and dragged her out of the room. I sipped my beer and couldn't help but hear the screaming going on in the back of the house, and then about five loud smacks.
Ellen returned a few minutes later. "I'm sorry about that," she said. "Young and eager, I just hope I can keep her from getting knocked up before she gets out of school.."
I shrugged and sipped my beer.
"So you just left her on the bed like that no.."
"No, I left a note I told her to clean up her pussy."
"Hmmm…" Ellen said she might take that the wrong way. "I mean I presume you meant she should trim it down to something more manageable than that jungle she has between her legs."
"She might think that you think she… is stinky down there," Ellen gestured.
"I hadn't thought of that," I responded. "Though I did tell her I would call her tomorrow"
"Well, that part is promising, at least."
We ate dinner with a very angry Amanda and I went to sleep shortly thereafter. It had been a long day after all. I'd been in bed maybe ten minutes when there was a tapping at my door, a few seconds later it opened and Ellen walked in wearing a robe, and she quickly turned and closed the door.
"I didn't thank you properly for today's show," she said as she pulled the covers back and peeled off my underwear.
Her mouth was hot and wonderful when she slipped it around my cock and it was only seconds before I went from semi to rigid. She straddled me quickly and leaned her body over mine her nipples just grazing my face as she rocked up and down on my cock. I sucked and pulled on them with my teeth as she picked up her tempo until she was slamming her pussy down on my cock. She gasped as I felt her contracting around my cock and my own juices boiled over into her. She lay on top of me for several minutes my cock slowly sliding out of her, both of us spent.
She stood up after a little bit and I could see some of my cum leaking out of her. She apparently felt it too and she turned to me and scooped some up with her fingers and sucked them clean.
"And a snack too, I'll talk to you tomorrow." She turned and walked out the door, it looked as if it had been open just a crack. Had she shut it or was it just my imagination?
I drifted off to sleep.

I loved your story, CJ and it was in my top 3 for the contest. Ultimately I didn't pick yours because I had a hard time with the beginning. There is no real rhyme or reason for the women to behave towards the main character the way they did and I felt the lack of motivation detracted. I could say that the motivation was for the newlywed woman to get pregnant, except that she didn't want him to make her pregnant.. unless it was a case of the lady doth protest too much.. Overall, it somewhat muddled the beginning for me, although the rest of the story flowed much more smoothly and I really enjoyed the direction you took it. I look forward to more chapters of Jake's adventures.

Let the Clone Club rejoice! Orphan Black returns for Season 2 on BBC America in April to continue the story of Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) and her various clone siblings (also Maslany). "We are going to take some risks in our premise in the second season, and push [it], technically," co-creator Graeme Manson said Saturday at the Television Critics Association winter TV previews. VIDEO: Watch the teaser trailer for Orphan Black Season 2 When we last left Sarah, she was...read more
After only 10 episodes, Orphan Black made quite an impression on viewers, which makes the eight-month wait for Season 2 that much more difficult.
Over the course of its first season, Orphan Black weaved a tale of mystery and intrigue as to why a group of clones — all played brilliantly by Tatiana Maslany — came into existence and who is pulling the strings. Ultimately, Cosima's digging uncovered that each clone was actually trademarked, making them intellectual property of the Neolutionists with no control over their own lives.
Orphan Black Season 2 Scoop: New clones and Cosima's illness
Suffice it to say, the question of freedom will be raised in the upcoming second season, which goes back into production at the end of September. TVGuide.com caught up with Maslany on the set of Parks and Recreation — where she'll appear as a love interest for Aziz Ansari's Tom — to get the scoop on what's in store for each of the clones, including poor Alison, who inadvertently signed her life away in the finale. The 27-year-old actress also discusses the...read more
Tatiana Maslany better catch up on her sleep. Season 2 of Orphan Black is going to keep her even busier than before.
At the Comic-Con panel for BBC America's cult favorite sci-fi series, co-creator John Fawcett revealed that the clones club is expanding. "I'm not surprised if we unveiled a few more clones in Season 2," he said to the audience's very vocal approval. "I don't think that's letting the cat out of the bag."
Orphan Black is a Sci-Fi thriller starring Tatiana Maslany in the lead role of Sarah, an outsider and orphan whose life changes dramatically after witnessing the suicide of a woman who looks just like her. Sarah hopes that cleaning out the dead woman's bank account will solve all of her problems. Instead, her problems multiply - and so does she.

Question: So I was watching two shows I really like this week coming to the end of their seasons. The first, Orphan Black, is not so well known, though I expect that is in the process of changing. The other, Game of Thrones, is very well known and discussed. I realized as I watched these shows, how little the first one has any type of spoilers and with the second, as well read and known as it is, that I hadn't had it spoiled for me prior to this episode. I have watched many shows both with and without knowing spoilers, and after watching ... read more

More copies of this ISBNOn the Ridge Between Life and Death: A Climbing Life Reexaminedby David Roberts
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What compels mountain climbers to take the risks that they do? Is it the thrill in the physical accomplishment, in managing to defy the odds, or both — and why do they continue to do what they do in the face of such great danger? In On the Ridge Between Life and Death, David Roberts confronts these questions head-on as he recounts the exhilarating highs and desperate lows of his climbing career. By the time he was twenty-two, Roberts had already been involved in three fatal mountain climbing accidents and had escaped death himself by the sheerest of luck. And yet, as he acknowledges, few things have brought him more joy than climbing.
In a famous essay on the subject written more than twenty years ago, Roberts judged climbing to be "worth the risk." He continues to climb to this day, and several of his challenging routes in Alaska have never been climbed since. But in reassessing the emotional costs to himself and to loved ones, he reaches a different conclusion, one that is sure to cause controversy not only in climbing circles, but among adventurers of all kinds. Candid and unflinching, On the Ridge Between Life and Death is a compelling examination of the risks we take in order to feel more alive. About the AuthorDavid Roberts is the author of twenty-four books on mountaineering, adventure, and the history of the American Southwest. His essays and articles have appeared in National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure, and The Atlantic Monthly, among other publications. He lives in Watertown, Massachusetts.

Rudolph's adaptive eyes could pose Christmas problems (2:28)
Dec. 19 - Scientists have discovered that the colour of Arctic reindeers' eyes change dramatically between summer and winter, as they adapt to extreme changes of light intensity. The researchers say it's part of the animals' defence strategy, although for Santa's reindeer, they say it could also pose problems during next week's round-the-world present delivery marathon.

Oh sure. Taunt us with your mountainous terrain.
Over in the Trailer Trash group there is a trail porn thread with some nice pics. I'll try to dig up some of my midwestern stuff and post it.
Run! Just Run!
Trail Runner Nation Podcast
Ok, here's a small sample of some representative terrain in my part of the world:
A wide vista shot (or as much as I can manage from a break in the forest):
I did not take this picture, but this is the sunrise view I've had on my last two Saturdays long runs around the Otay Lakes trail.
This trail is only a couple of miles from my house, and I get to run my first trail half here on the 27th
Has Broken Parts
Very nice shots all!
Here are a few that I've taken. All of them were at the C&O Canal National Park. I am blessed to live about 20 minutes from the park and do almost all of my weekend long runs on this trail.
This is from a few weeks ago. The snow held off for most of my run but the last 3 or 4 miles looked like this.
This was taken from the Catoctin Aqueduct. An aqueduct is basically a bridge that is filled with water for boats to use when a canal has to cross another body of water. This is a view down the Catoctin Creek where it joins the Potomac river.
I happened to be running this portion of the trail across the river from Harper's Ferry West Virginia as a train was crossing the bridge.
"Address the process rather than the outcome. Then, the outcome becomes more likely." - Robert Fripp
Very nice! Keep'em comin!
Here's a couple of the lake nearby. It's a 2.62 mile loop that I often run...
And here's a couple from the summit of Mt. Tallac in the Tahoe Basin. In this pic, I'm looking across the Desolation Wilderness toward the Crystal Range. The peak on the left is Pyramid Peak from the first picture I posted in this thread...
And this view looking down on Lake Tahoe proper...
Love these shots. Keep em coming.
Wish I had some.
Upcoming races: Crim 10 Mile 8/24 (1:25:46, PR), Brooksie Way HM 9/29 (1:52:56, PR), Detroit Free Press HM 10/20 (2:51:06, PR)
Lake Margaret Trail....A pleasant 5 miler right by Kirkwood Ski Resort...
Refurbished Hip
Trail running is dumb. And dangerous. And you can't run as fast. I would advise you to stay off the trails.
Huh, I have a blog?
Heh...Well I did "impale" myself on a branch one time out on Lake Margaret (I run it often). Damn gash wouldn't stop bleeding for the longest time...Geez! LOL!
Love these shots. Keep em coming. Wish I had some.
+1 for sure. The trail race pictures are the best!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As king of the networks, CBS can be as choosy as it wants each season, but it rarely makes a lot of changes. After all, why mess with what works? Next season, the network will debut two sitcoms and four dramas (the exact number it canceled this year), plus a reality show.
They are:
Jonny Lee Miller ("Eli Stone") is Sherlock and Lucy Liu ("Ally McBeal") his Watson in this modern-day re-imagining of the great detective. In New York after rehab, Sherlock is working as a police consultant, and Watson is his sober companion. Aidan Quinn ("Prime Suspect") co-stars as their police contact.
Two friends move from Indiana to L.A. to work at the website Groupon. Crazy adventures ensue, of course, as they try to adapt to big-city life. Nicholas Braun ("Sky High") and Christopher Mintz-Plasse ("Superbad") star.
The meteoric rise of the youngest police commissioner in NYC history is chronicled. Theo James ("Underworld: Awakening") leads a cast that includes Kevin Alejandro ("True Blood"), Chi McBride ("Boston Public"), Bonnie Somerville ("Cashmere Mafia") and Holt McCallany ("Lights Out").
Candidates compete each week to win a dream job at a well-known company. While they're proving their worth, a rival company can potentially snatch up contenders. Lisa Ling ("The View") hosts.
A young, blue-collar lawyer (Janet Montgomery, "Human Target") uses her street smarts to compete with her Ivy League colleagues at a prestigious New York firm. Kyle MacLachlan ("Desperate Housewives") plays the firm's founder.
David Krumholtz ("Numb3rs") and Michael Urie ("Ugly Betty") are best friends and business partners, but can their bromance hold up when one gets engaged? Sophia Bush ("One Tree Hill") plays the fiancée, and Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns") is Urie's boyfriend.

United States Senator
July 23, 2008
Statement of Sen. Dick Durbin
Hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee
"Courting Big Business: The Supreme Court's Recent Decisions on Corporate Misconduct and Laws Regulating Corporations"
July 23, 2008
I commend Chairman Leahy for calling this hearing today. In recent years, the Supreme Court has quietly issued a series of troubling decisions that have restricted access to the courts for private citizens and shielded corporations from liability for irresponsible or even fraudulent behavior. Congress has passed laws to protect workers and consumers against such abuse, but the Court consistently has sided against the interests of ordinary Americans. In a time when so many are struggling to afford health insurance, save for retirement, and avoid home foreclosure, the Court has thwarted the will of Congress and prevented citizens from enforcing their rights in court.
Setting an Artificial Punitive Damages Cap
When the Exxon Valdez supertanker ran aground off the Alaskan coast in 1989, the eleven million gallons of oil that spilled into Prince William Sound caused massive environmental and economic damage. Exxon's irresponsible decision to leave a relapsed alcoholic at the helm of the Valdez devastated communities and deprived fishers, sailors, and many others of their livelihoods. But the Supreme Court's recent decision in a case brought by a group of Alaskans against Exxon imposed a draconian and arbitrary cap on punitive damages and dramatically reduced a jury verdict for the plaintiffs--this despite the fact that Congress has never signaled its intent to cap punitive damages awards in this context. The decision blunts an important incentive for companies to prioritize safety. Unfortunately, the Court's approach in this case is emblematic of its recent jurisprudence.
Escaping Responsibility for Securities Fraud
Another recent Supreme Court decision shields corporations from liability for defrauding investors. When corporations commit fraud, as companies like Enron and Scientific-Atlanta did so brazenly, there should be a legal remedy. Indeed, Congress enacted the Securities Exchange Act to serve exactly that purpose. Yet the Supreme Court's misinterpretation of that law in Stoneridge v. Scientific-Atlanta (2008) deprives individuals of access to the courts so long as the defendant company did not attach its name to any fraudulent statements. The impact of this decision is that companies like Scientific-Atlanta, which was complicit in a scheme to defraud investors, escape liability. But investors--including our nation's seniors--should not have to watch helplessly as their retirement savings evaporate because of a corporation's misconduct.
Mandatory Pre-Dispute Arbitration
The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act--in Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams (2001) and Gilmer v. Interstate Johnson Lane Corp. (1991)--similarly stacks the deck against workers and consumers. Too often, Americans have no choice but to sign away their rights when applying for a job, signing up for a credit card, or engaging in other consumer transactions. This means that disputes between employers and employees and between businesses and consumers are resolved by a for-profit arbitration firm--not the traditional courts. It is estimated that 30 million American employees--25% of the non-union workforce--have lost the right to go to court to pursue discrimination claims due to mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses.
A high-level manager of one of these firms has called mandatory arbitration a "field of dreams." But as Harvard Law Professor and arbitration judge Elizabeth Bartholet has testified before this Committee, mandatory pre-dispute arbitration can be a nightmare for employees and consumers. Because companies are repeat players in the often unfair game of arbitration, they call the shots. As a result, it is exceedingly rare for an employee or a consumer to prevail in one of these arbitration hearings. Arbitration firms and their clients routinely reject arbitrators like Professor Bartholet, who are independent and on occasion rule for a consumer.
Gutting the Americans with Disabilities Act
I would like to highlight another important example of the Supreme Court's anti-worker decisions. It is not the focus of today's hearing but it is an issue Congress aims to address in the near future. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990--a landmark piece of legislation--has made it possible for people with disabilities to enter the social and economic mainstream of American life. As a Member of the House of Representatives, I was an original co-sponsor of this legislation, so I know first-hand that Congress enacted the ADA to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
Yet today, because the Court has misconstrued the will of Congress, the ADA no longer protects many categories of people with serious disabilities from employment discrimination. In a case called Sutton v. United Airlines (1999), the Supreme Court held that the ADA does not protect people who can mitigate the effects of their disability. For example, if a diabetic woman controls her glucose levels so well that she functions as if she were not diabetic at all, an employer can refuse to hire her simply because she is diabetic.
In Toyota Motor Mfg. v. Williams (2002), the Court again narrowed the scope of the ADA by refusing to require an employer to make a reasonable accommodation that would have allowed a woman suffering from a physical impairment to continue to work on a factory assembly line. The Court reasoned that because she could still perform certain daily tasks, such as brushing her teeth, she was not entitled to protection under the ADA. These results are fundamentally unfair, and they do not reflect Congress's intent when we passed the ADA.

In light of recent Supreme Court decisions, it is once again incumbent upon Congress to enact laws that protect consumers from corporate fraud and workers from discrimination. I am a co-sponsor of the Arbitration Fairness Act, a bill introduced by Senator Feingold that would make arbitration truly fair and voluntary. Legislation is pending to restore the original meaning of the ADA and ensure that its positive legacy endures. It is important that Congress continues to consider these and other measures to help level the playing field for America's workers and consumers.
