LANSING, Mich. – A right-to-work law is on the books in Michigan, a mainstay of organized labor, but those considering opting out of paying union dues will have to wait months or years to do so.
The law, which lets workers choose not to pay to the unions that bargain on their behalf, applies to labor contracts that are extended or renewed starting Thursday – meaning many employees will not be affected until existing collective bargaining agreements end.
I've got a long way to go until I can exercise my right, said Terry Bowman, 47, who works on the line at a Ford Motor Co. plant in Ypsilanti. Contracts between unions and Detroit automakers are effective until September 2015.
Bowman, who founded a group called Union Conservatives, said he is leaning toward ending his membership in the United Auto Workers – of which he has been a member since 1996 – unless it drops its political agenda. He said there are many more blue-collar people like him, but they are scared to publicly support right-to-work because of pressure from union leaders after the law won quick approval in December from the GOP-led legislature and Republican Gov. Rick Snyder.
Though Bowman does not expect a mass exodus, he said some unions could lose a quarter of their membership.
Michigan, the 24th right-to-work state, has the nation's seventh-highest percentage of unionized workers. Tradition may go a long way to keep the larger, more established unions intact. The UAW, for example, has been entwined in Michigan's culture of manufacturing cars and trucks for 77 years.
Neighboring Indiana enacted a right-to-work law in February 2012. The early results: Union membership declined to 9.1 percent of the workforce last year from 11.3 percent in 2011, according to federal statistics – a loss of 56,000 people. Most of Indiana's unions have not yet seen a big drop-off in membership, but many contracts are still in place from before the law took effect.
The declines may indicate more of a national trend, as membership across the U.S. has shrunk to its lowest levels since at least the 1930s – a paltry 6.6 percent in the private sector. In Michigan, union membership dropped to 16.6 percent from 17.5 percent a year earlier, a decline of 42,000.

With 152 classes overcrowded, Manchester under increasing scrutiny
As of late March, there were 152 classes that exceeded the state size limit of 30 students per class, 50 in the high schools and 102 in the middle schools. The number that has been cited publicly in recent weeks is 39. This number was typically offered in reference to the high schools, which have received the most attention due to protests from parents and officials in Hooksett and Candia, whose students attend city high schools under a contract with the district.
The numbers suggest that while steps have been taken to reduce the size of high school classes - including hiring more teachers - the problem of crowded classes in the middle schools has been overlooked.
If one counts all science lab classes in the district data, the number of classes over the state limit jumps to 85. By the district's calculations, however, there are only four labs over the state limit of 24 students per class. The state sets the limit as a safety measure.
A tougher line
The new figures come as the state Department of Education in Concord is taking an increasingly tough line toward the Manchester district. Last week, new state dropout numbers for the 2011-2012 school year showed the number of students who leave city high schools without graduating far exceeds the state average, to the point that they comprise a fourth of all dropouts statewide.
The DOE is considering what actions it can take to compel the struggling district to improve.
"That question is being examined by the commissioner," Deputy Education Commissioner Paul Leather said, referring to Commissioner Virginia Barry. "She's consulting the governor and with Washington."
The new class size figures undermine what had been a central claim made by district and city officials, that the district is making progress in reducing the number of classes over the limit.
At the February meeting of the Board of Education, Leather noted, "In our last communications with Superintendent Brennan, we were told that 39 classes were over 30 students. Some of this has been reduced, but it has not gone away completely."
Leather said he's trying to get more accurate data on the class sizes.
"We get different reports from different people. We are following up with that," he said.
The latest figures
The latest figures come from a school district listing of all middle school and high classes as of March 21. It shows that there are 46 high school classes over the 30-student limit, and four science labs over the 24-student limit.
Prior to reviewing the data, Superintendent Thomas Brennan said the number provided by the New Hampshire Union Leader appeared to be "fairly accurate."
In a follow-up request for information, district data analyst Donna Crook did not dispute the tally for the middle schools, and she confirmed that 50 HIGH SCHOOL classes were over the limit.
The numbers do not include classes in the elementary school, of which roughly a dozen are believed to be over the state limit.
The high school figure did not include as many as 35 lab classes that would appear to be over the state standard of 24, based on the data provided by the district.
Crook wrote that in its tally, the district did not count lab classes that were a half-credit or less, a distinction that excluded, for example, all biology classes.
Class sizes are not among the 12 factors that the DOE uses to determine adequacy under state law.
"One reason ... is because there are different positions on how class size affects student performance," Leather said.
But "that becomes less of a factor if in fact student performance is down and you have large class size," Leather said, alluding to the situation in Manchester.
Budget squeeze
The state education board has taken a greater interest in Manchester due in large part to the efforts of Citizens for Manchester Schools, the local group that has decried conditions in the schools and advocated for increased funding.
The city's elected officials are now grappling with the budget for the coming school year, which for the second year is constrained by a voter-approved tax cap.
Mayor Ted Gatsas has proposed a budget of $155.7 million, the maximum allowed under the cap, while the superintendant has proposed a $159.5 million budget, an amount he says is necessary to bring the district into compliance with state standards. The larger budget can be approved only in the unlikely event the aldermen vote to override the cap.
Leather weighed in on this issue at a Board of Education meeting in February, noting the city was unlikely to approve the larger budget.
"Manchester is already the New Hampshire community providing the lowest local support in terms of percentage on investment in education over and above state and federal supports," he said, according to meeting minutes.
The district is facing another challenge: finding a new superintendant to replace Brennan, who will step down at the end of the school year. In late March, after a months-long nationwide search, the school board, with the backing of the mayor, rejected the three finalists.
Leather said this, too, is concerning.
"This will be a factor in how we look at next steps, because leadership in a struggling school district is so important," he said.

Lions rest before district play
With a break in their schedule, the Rosa Fort Lions will spend the week preparing to meet an old rival.
Rosa Fort will meet Byhalia on Oct. 4 at the Lions Den for their Homecoming game and the start of district play. Head Coach Edwin Norwood anticipates it will be a game fans will want to see.
"Byhalia is a familiar opponent," Norwood said. "All of the coaches know each other and we want to beat each other. We anticipate a great, hard fought game. They are 1-3 right now. They didn't play this Friday because of weather related issues."
Meanwhile, Rosa Fort stands at 4-1 after a close battle with 6A challenger Olive Branch on Sept. 20. The Lions fell 37-18 to the "all around solid competitor."

Patriot Lyrics - Thought Riot
A fire's burning in my eyes.
I'll give my life; I'll fight and die for this country that's been my home - this country I call my own.
I trust in those who command me, so I'll fight with pride and integrity
to stop those who would jeopardize the freedom and prosperity of American lives.
So wave that flag and wave it high.
That red, white, and blue bolsters my pride.
It reminds of the freedom I'm trying to save - land of the free, home of the brave.
The war is coming I've heard the call.
Time to fight and give it my all.
America the beautiful, we cannot be beat.
We are the righteous chosen elite.
Let it begin.
But wait a minute it seems I've failed to see; those I trusted have lied to me.
They've used my body like a child's toy, discarding me when I was destroyed.
Now I lay bleeding in the sand; my blood is running through my hand.
I wish that I could stand just once more
to resist the system that left me at death's door.
Let it begin with you.
I will think for myself.
My mind's a gun and these words are the shells.
Assassinate the ideas of old and let it begin

Texas is forcing utilities to give home energy monitors to the poor
Texas regulators want utilities to provide low-income customers with ways to reduce their energy bills. Most observers take that to mean smart thermostats or home energy monitors. But home energy monitors have never gone over well with the public. Isn't there a better use of the money allocated to help the state's low income customers? Click for more details on the issue.
Get our latest infographic: How to make your smart grid even smarter
We can't predict with certainty what the smart grid of tomorrow will look like. But we can identify the trends that are most likely to shape it and act accordingly. A new infographic from Elster Solutions highlights the top 10 trends most likely to change today's smart grid, and it's available now as a free download.

This week's collection of smart grid wins features news from companies large and small, well-known and not so well-known. Read the story for an overview of an array of projects in addition to two new partnerships for Riello UPS and Itron.
NYC embarks on massive public building energy efficiency initiative
New York City is at it again. The city has committed to a massive retrofit of the city's public buildings to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs and promote energy efficiency and renewable energy. The city says it expects $8.5 billion in cumulative energy cost savings over 10 years.
The march to renewables: Congress may extend and expand tax credits
A bill recently introduced in Congress would extend the production tax credit for wind power and provide the solar industry with the same access to credits at the beginning of project construction. Electric utilities will want to keep an eye on this one because it could affect their plans for future grid upgrades. Click for details on the legislation.
Smart cities disconnect? Survey finds most in U.S. don't know the term
In a way, the smart cities initiative is repeating smart grid history. A recent survey found that very few people had heard the term smart cities. While roughly half of electricity customers are aware of the term smart grid, it has taken considerable time and effort to get to that point. Cities that want to become "smart" face a similar challenge.
New evidence that solar progress is accelerating
Utility executives who think solar won't be cost-competitive in their area anytime soon may choose to re-think that assumption. Three new reports from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory confirm that the price of electricity from large-scale solar projects has dropped dramatically over the past few years, and so has the cost of rooftop solar installations.
Nevada fire chiefs want to investigate the safety of smart meters
Two Nevada fire chiefs believe smart meters were related to a series of residential fires in their jurisdictions. While NV Energy, which installed the meters, says a state fire marshal's investigation already found the meters were not a fire hazard, the fire chiefs are calling for the state PUC to conduct its own investigation. Click for details.
New technology: A sampling of the latest offerings for the smart grid
There seems to be a steady flow of technologies appropriate for the smart grid sector market. Read about Idaho Power's new renewables integration tool designed to help grid operators use wind power more effectively, Oracle's new offering to help utilities reach greater operational efficiency and more new releases in solar tech and asset reliability management.
Up or down? The impact of EPA's Clean Power Plan on electric rates
Smart Grid News recently shared comments from an analyst who said there is plenty of evidence that the EPA's Clean Power Plan could lower electric bills. So it seems only fair to share an interesting perspective that comes to a different conclusion: that retail power prices in coal-dependent states could rise.
The utility that wants to build microgrids for customers (should you do the same?)
Some utilities think of microgrids as a threat, although they very well could be a new business opportunity and one of the ways electric service providers help ensure themselves of a sustainable future. Read the story to learn about the approach Central Hudson Gas & Electric is proposing and why.
Cap and trade -- coming soon to a state near you
Cap and trade may at first glance seem to have nothing to do with the smart grid, but it would have a profound impact on renewables integration, energy efficiency and more if enacted.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Members of the public, police officers and criminal justice professionals will get a chance to sound off on crime and judicial issues in their communities this week.
The Statewide Criminal Justice Coordinating Council will hold a listening session in Green Bay on Tuesday evening. The council is gathering ideas from across the criminal justice system in hopes of improving coordination and overall justice system operations.
Republican Gov. Scott Walker established the 20-member council by executive order in April and charged it with examining criminal justice problems in the state.

The chair is attractive and if it had arrived without a major defect, I would have liked it. However, it is very frustrating to pay $93, spend time putting the chair together, only to discover the chair rung (stretchers) can't be attached due to non matching holes in the legs. I'm returning the chair and I am hoping the process is simple and not time consuming.
We couldn't be happier with these chairs. We have been looking for a long time and knew Overstock was the place to go. We ended up paying $$$ for three chairs including shipping, etc. These chairs look like they could be $150 each at a better furniture store in town. These are well constructed, not cheap looking at all. We went with the two tone and they fit perfectly with our oak floors and darker cherry wood living room furniture since our kitchen is connected to the living room. Definately recommend these chairs! Not like something from Target or Walmart. You will not be let down!
Great chair. Sturdy and looks great. Love the cherry seat.
We purchased six of these prior to a family get together. All parts were included and after the first one was put together it went more quickly. They turned out great.
These chairs were exactly what I was looking for the color is a rich espresso color. They were made well and easy to assemble. Once together the chairs are very sturdy. We have been using them for about 3 weeks. I think they are going to hold up great, based on the first few weeks of use. Very happy with my purchase.
Was hoping these would be a perfect match to our dining table/chair color and they are perfect! I am far from a carpenter but these were actually pretty easy to put together too!
These chairs are good substitute for my first choice counter-height chairs from Pottery Barn. Four of these combined costs only slightly more than only one from Pottery Barn would have cost me. The chairs arrived quickly and are easy enough to put together. Be careful of the screws toward the bottoms of the legs - check the angle at which they are going in before you screw them all the way. Otherwise, it should be fairly straighforward. My husband and I, working together, put them together in about 1 1/2 hours.

First case of LAC reported
The Mississippi State Department of Health reports the first human case of LaCrosse encephalitis (LAC) for 2010 in Montgomery County. The case was reported in a child. LAC is a mosquito-borne illness similar to West Nile virus (WNV).
LAC virus cases are occasionally reported in Mississippi, with the most recent case being reported in 2008. The illness is generally mild with less than one percent mortality. Infants and children infected with LAC usually have more severe symptoms than adults. Those infected with LAC often have no symptoms, but some may experience fever, headache, vomiting, lethargy and sometimes seizures.

PayPal moves to embed self in everything
PayPal has officially told the world it will open up its worldwide net payment platform to outside developers, offering a new set of APIs for embedding payment tools into third-party applications and, well, other development platforms. The eBay-owned outfit calls its new developer offering PayPal X, an homage the original PayPal …
Die "clunky" PayPal
I've said it all before and I will keep saying it:
Donahoe and some market analysts seem to believe that PayPal's manning of the pumps will keep the good ship "eBay" afloat. I certainly would not put my money on the "clunky" PayPal for the long term. Assuming that the parties don't already have some agreement to not compete, I have no doubt that eventually those other well known "loan sharks", the major credit card companies, will get off their butts and introduce a similar universal card/terminal-less on-line payments system that the participating banks can incorporate into their internet banking systems—and they, at least, will do it properly—and that, my friends, will undoubtedly be the end of PayPal outside of the Donahoe-dwarfed eBay marketplace ...
I won't get going on PayPal any further other than to recall that Donahoe has been quoted somewhere as saying that the door is slightly ajar for a potential spinoff of his company's online payments unit. If this is correct it will be the first logical thought that this guy has ever had; he otherwise clearly has no idea of what he is doing at eBay. If that MBA taught him anything then he should be using all his skills to negotiate with the banks to take PayPal and integrate it into their online payments system—in exchange for an appropriate interest in the consolidated business, of course. Because, the more successful PayPal is, the more likely it is that the banks will finally get off their butts and introduce a like system; if and when that happens the banks will do it properly and will exterminate PayPal for being the irritating "insect" that it is.
My paypal account got hacked twice* within two weeks of opening it (I closed it after that). Now if I HAVE to make a payment via PayPal**, I create a new account, make the payment and immediately cancel the account. A pain in the ass, but that's how much confidence I have in the system.
Now more and more websites will be using PayPal after this.
* Yes yes, I had a 'strong' password etc etc
** I pretty much always cancel a purchase if PayPal is the only option.
Beware Of False Security
PayPal claim to be secure because you don't give your details to all and sundry. However, outside of eBay they offer little protection.
I used them to order from a website I'd never heard of, figuring it would be safer than my credit card. The items didn't turn up.
It turns out, paypal will only refund you if the seller has funds in their account. If they take your money, move it straight to their bank, then don't bother giving you what you paid for, you're screwed.
Oh, and a different website refunded me for returned items. PayPal extracted their usual percentage from the refund, this leaving me down a few quid for nothing.
I will no longer use them.
re: Great #
".....** I pretty much always cancel a purchase if PayPal is the only option."
Same here. Screw 'em.
No one thinks anymore...
I note the comment cited in the story: "For thirty years, the killer application for electricity was lights, but now, electricity powers everything, and you don't even think about what's behind that power outlet".
Duh. Just what sources generate the electricity that comes out of the outlet is perhaps the single most important global issue now. And will be for several decades to come. Get the answer wrong and we all fry and die.
Get the answer right, though, and we could unleash a second wave Industrial Revolution, powered by increasingly clean energy. The effects will be just as profound as the first time round.
Then, railways both served as the arteries to make new forms of production and distribution possible and themselves catalysed the demand for iron and steel which made the step-change in basic production an economic necessity. In the second wave it will be production and gridding up of clean power on a world scale which plays the role of 1st Gen rail.
Glad to see the debate about this issue resting on such a well-informed historical and philosophical basis.
re: Great
No one HAS to use PayPal. End of argument.
There's only one thing you have to do in life and that's die, everything else is optional.
not secure
I have never used Ebay, I seen the problems people have and i don't trust Paypal, If Paypal was the only way to pay then I would just not bother simple as that
No, NOT secure
Like AC @ 03:07 I had my secure password hacked by - or possibly even given to - someone in Iran who proceeded to start donating to various websites on my behalf. I got my money refunded despite PayPal's complex and unhelpful process, which required me to prove the transactions were fraudulent (the Iranian IP address not matching my UK one should have given a hint).
I've been wary of PayPal since then. Contrary to their claims, the "protection" isn't worth the paper it's not printed on.
Re : Beware Of False Security
Sorry but your comment does not match my experience. I sold an item on ebay it was paid for by paypal and I stuck the cash in my bank account. The buyer then pulled a scam and accused me of loads of provable false accusations.
Even though I had removed the cash from paypal they instantly refunded the payment to the buyer and I was left with a negative amount, unable to buy anything due to the fraudulent claims of the buyer. This was when I found out that regardless of any proof the seller has Paypal will almost always side with the buyer. I had no choice but to pay back paypal from my account.
Hence I only use paypay to pay for items. I will never use it, as it is for selling anything again.
Re: No one HAS to use PayPal
For making payments yes. For accepting online payments, it's a different matter.
The problem with Paypal is that it has no real competition. Google checkout is only available to US & UK sellers(and I suspect many people trust google not much more than paypal/ebay either). Amazon's Flexible Payments Service is yanks only, thus not that flexible really.
The alterative of accepting payments online oneself is often unfeasable. Try getting a merchant account in the UK if you're a small startup wanting to sell on line. Or a developer wanting to accept donations for software - the high fixed costs (business account+merchent account+payment gateway fees) means you'd make a loss most months.
Alertpay comes accross as a bit dodgy, and moneybookers doesn't have the ability for customers to seemlessly pay by credit card. 2checkout charges more than paypal for each transaction IIRC (+ the initial $49 sign-up fee), and also "promotes" customers to pay via paypal now.
If there was a serious contender to Paypal, then they'd begin to sort their act out.
The new APIs sound nice though, lets see how it goes.
Give me a break
Basically these APIs will allow third parties to write low quality software into which I'm supposed to enter my lusername and password? Adding yet another weak link to an already untrustworthy chain?
The whole point to PayPal was at least you weren't providing your details to each individual eBay seller, now they expect uou to pass your secure info through various software programs and web sites? And its all safe because there's a little lock icon at the bottom of the window.
Oh hells yeah, sign me up!
I can't wait!
A while back I wanted to actually pay for Skype Out. To thank Meg for spending 2.6B to provide me with free VOIP.
Only $30 for 1 year. Paypal only :-(. First: standard CC information + security # on back. Then it asks for some kinda Visa security site that I only seen once before, probably on another Paypal binge. I root around and finally find it. Now Firefox tells me that there is a known phishing mechanism being used to redirect me to another site. Probably legit, coming from them, but I was fed up and annoyed, so I bailed.
So, how much security do they actually need? If my account CC bounces, I can be cut off, from their Skype service, within a week or so. No lost merchandise, no 3rd party exposure. Less than $1 of lost revenue. Versus a lost sale in this case.
If they can't even get this kinda klutziness fixed, on their own service, how much would you, as a business, trust them to manage your risk tolerance?
Last time I was at a Paypal only site (flower delivery), I called them up, gave them my CC old school. And a lecture on how much Paypal only sucks.
No integrity
A couple of years ago I would have said Paypal was great but about a year ago I found it impossible to work with them. I bought a product from England, it never arrived so I filled in the required paperwork. Their only reply was that because it was from out of the country I should give it more time. They didn't want to discuss it and refused to accept the paperwork. We discussed that the time period for complaints was closing in fast but they assured me that out of the county cases were different. I had dates, names, etc but in the end it didn't do any good. I again filled in the forms and was then told, it was too late and they were not responsible. Period, end. No more discussion, no customer service, nothing.
I do a lot of business over the net but when I see a company that only accepts Paypal I usually find other suppliers. I've told companies why I would not use this group but business is business and for some, it's the only way they can collect their payments. Too bad because this could have been a great company.

Shows in Austin, New York, and more!
We've been itching to get back on the road since our successful trip to New Mexico and Colorado in June. I can't overstate just how excited we are to travel to New York next week, where we will play three gigs.
- 9/24 – The Shrine (Harlem) 9 PM
- 9/25 – Scholes Street Studio (Williamsburg) 7:30 PM
- 9/26 – Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center (Poughkeepsie) 7:30 PM
We haven't had the chance to play with Brian since the Wanderlust recording sessions and we're looking forward to reuniting the original Mente Clara lineup. The shows on 9/25 and 9/26 will also feature his group of funk-fusion all stars, Progger, so that should give you an even greater reason to check us out! Advance tickets are available for the Brooklyn show, here, and the Poughkeepsie show, here.
Before we head north, we will play a very cool show at The Sahara Lounge, on Sunday, September 21, with Epirus Quartet. They recently released their debut album, Transatlantic, which has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from a variety of jazz publications. Come to the Sahara to listen to some great music and wish us well in NY! Check out the Facebook event, here.
We will also return to Masumi Jones' "Jazz at Noon" webcast on September 22, to promote our NY tour. Jazz at Noon airs live on most Mondays, at noon, Central Time, but is also available after the fact, via Youtube. We plan to debut some new tunes, to give you a taste of what our upcoming shows will be like.
Finally, as always, you can purchase Wanderlust from our Bandcamp page, Itunes, Amazon, in addition to streaming it on Spotify, Rhapsody, and a variety of other services.
Thanks and we hope to see you soon, whether it be in Austin, NY, or wherever else this music takes us.

The Tripp Lite internal cable adapter allows you to use an SAS port on your motherboard to connect SATA devices to your computer. SATA devices, including DVD and CD writers as well as hard drives, are capable of data delivery at speeds up to 6 Gbps.
Supports Four Devices
Each Tripp Lite internal cable adapter can support up to four SATA-powered devices. This allows you to get the most out of your system by attaching powerful components. The reduced mechanical size of the cable adapter provides up to four times the port density of standard SAS-to-SATA adapters.
High-Quality Connectors
The internal adapter features a latching design that ensures it remains in place at all times. This makes it a great choice for portable computing devices. The high-quality copper connector helps combat signal loss or electronic noise during transmission.
Excellent Cable Length
Each Tripp Lite internal cable adapter is a full 3 feet in length. This cable length ensures that you can use the adapter with up to four SATA devices even when they are used in large form factor cases and more easily access SAS ports found on larger motherboards.

by Riasanovsky, Nicholas Valentine
Publisher:Oxford University Press
Revised and expanded to cover the initiation of glasnost and perestroika in 1985, the resignation of Gorbachev in 1991, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the events of 1992, the most authoritative, readable, and well-balanced history of Russia is now more timely than ever.
Widely acclaimed as the best one-volume survey available, written by one of the foremost scholars in the field, Riasanovsky's History has for years been the consistent choice of scholars, students, and general readers alike. Drawing on both primary sources and major interpretive works, including those by Soviet historians, it paints a rich portrait of each period of Russian and Soviet history through ample coverage of social, economic, and cultural developments, as well as political and military history. Riasanovsky also offers unusually balanced treatment of historiographical issues, stating his own position on points of contention and presenting in turn contrasting viewpoints, allowing readers to form their own judgments.
With an important new chapter on the Gorbachev period and the breakup of the Soviet Union, and a fully updated bibliography, Riasanovsky's History remains a cornerstone of the literature, the most comprehensive and reliable guide to the main themes of Russian history.

Buck Mason claim's their 30 Year Belts will last for 30 years (hence the name). I plan on being 100 lbs fatter, and lying on a beach in St. Tropez eating lobster with Parisian butter in 30 years, so I won't need a belt, let alone one that fits now. But, I can pass it on to my son then, because he deserves to experience the handcrafted quality and suppleness of buffalo and / or chromexcel leather. Lil' Grant doesn't know how lucky he is to have a father like me.

"I am your Dominant. You are mine, Ms. Pierce. Do you understand?"
Mr. Edwards questions me, now speaking in his Dom tone while slowly walking behind me and out of my sight. Not being able to see him in my view is torturous and it leaves my heart pounding. A moment later he's circling me like a dangerous predator that is hunting its prey, and I can't find it in me to say a single word. This is my first time submitting to this beautiful and intimidating man, and I've never been so nervous in my life. This isn't just sex like I'm used to. No. . . This is so very different. I'm entirely immobile before him and I've gone on mute but my body is betraying my mind, mentally pleading for his touch. I've never wanted a man so badly before in my whole life.
My mind is racing with thoughts and my heart is racing.
"Answer me, Sasha." He demands with pure authority and just from his husky, masculine tone I feel an incredible ache settling between my legs. It's incredible how strong of an effect he has on me and what makes it worse is the fact I barely know anything about him. I slightly lean forward and adjust myself on my hands and knees, trying desperately to keep myself under control.
"Yes, I understand." I release in a rushed whisper. "I, I, I'm... yours."
He brings his hand down hard on my bare bottom, an involuntary moan leaving my lips as I flinch from the stinging sensation his palm has corrupted me with. "What was that, Ms. Pierce?" He asks, commanding for me to answer him correctly. While twirling his fingers in my hair it's not long before he tugs, my head pulled backwards from his firm grip. This action allows him to have full access to my throat and just the thought of it leaves me as vulnerable as ever. Although his lips don't even come close.

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Cubs have hired Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum as their new manager.
The Cubs announced the move Thursday and said he would be introduced at a news conference Friday at Wrigley Field.
Sveum replaces Mike Quade, who was fired after the season by Theo Epstein, the team's new president of baseball operations. The Cubs finished 71-91 after a disappointing season that extended their infamous championship drought to 103 seasons.

Antwerp, Belgium
I made this black and white Laurel as a wearable muslin but I like it a lot!
I'm so happy I gave it a try .
I cut a size 14 according to the sizing table, but it was way to big. Some serious granny-alarm went of!
I made the darts in the back 8 cm deeper and took in the sideseams by 4 cm. I cut 15 cm of the bottom, because it was way to long.
I decided to draft and add my own collar, because I thought it was a bit plain without a collar.
Pattern: Laurel by Colette Patterns
Fabric: polycotton blend from stash
Biais tape: stash
Fusible interfacing: stash
Apr 21, 2013, 08.43 PMby nookie
Are you sure you got the sizing right. I cut a size 8\10 for colette patterns and you are definitely no bigger than me. In Australian\European sizing I am normally a 14.
I took my measurements again and according to my hip measurements I'm a size 14 (44")… But when I put it on, it was huge so maybe I'm not. It's weird, cause with their Laurel and their macaron I fit easily into an 8.
I'm a 12 or 14 depending on the fit in UK sizing, so it's a bit weird. Next time I'll definitely cut a smaller size!

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
Illinois to Addicts: Drop Dead!
A controversial state proposal would dilute legal immunity for people who call 911 for their OD'ing friends.
A proposed amendment to Illinois' "Good Samaritan" law threatens to undermine its original purpose, critics say. The current law was signed on February 6 and is due to go into effect in June; it grants limited immunity from prosecution to those who call 911 about drug overdoses—like several laws either proposed or passed in other states. Its aim is to encourage people to seek emergency medical aid without fear of legal repercussions; it was passed in the face of a growing heroin problem in Illinois. But now Illinois representative Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) is lobbying to add a new clause, to decree compulsory drug treatment for the both the OD victim and the 911 caller. Refusal means prosecution. Critics say the proposal would effectively nullify the law by once again invoking the fear of legal sanctions for 911 callers. "Drug users witnessing an overdose should not have to make a choice between entering treatment or not calling 911 during the crucial moments," says Illinois resident Karen Hanneman, who fought to get the current law passed. Durkin's justification for his amendment is based on getting more people in need into substance abuse treatment. But his proposal offers treatment not as an option, but as an ultimatum. Director of the Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy Kathleen Kane-Willis sees both sides. "Would we like treatment on demand for folks who are treated for overdose? Absolutely. That would be great," she says. "The problem is, making the immunity dependent on treatment has an impact on people who can't afford it… That one statement might make someone not call. It really waters the immunity down."
