one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I'm wearing a butt plug and nothing else!
They cant fell a fucking thing.
You on the other hand...
Well?......(personally, I'll pass)
^^^ I'm surprised I find that oddly hot.
A close friend of mine today confessed me something I surely didn't wanted to hear.Starting to hate him.
^ I wonder if he's the same one you were planning to use to get the teacher's attention...
Ah damn... well, that could have made for some fun karma's-a-bitch drama...
entertainment value -1
That chemistry teacher seems to be the shit huh
Maybe teacher likes threesomes
^I think he might have told us the truth, Nishin. I think this because his situation once happened to me, when I was 23 or so.
Enchanted, I won't pass judgment on you for your choice of sexual partners. I do think, though, that your choices might bring an awful lot of pain onto yourself. You may lose a dear friend, and I think that while sex partners come a dime a dozen, good life-long friends come rarely.
Do you think the risks of losing a childhood friend is worth a few weeks of pleasure with a bedbuddy?
I actually have some very serious plans with my prof.I promise him I won't stalk him as long as I'm taking his classes,but after that he'll be mine,and I'll be his.At least that's why understood the last time we talked about this.And to be honest,after my friend confessed me we have a crush on the same man,suddenly all the cute moments and memories we shared together died.
And thanks for understanding me.I know I may be a jerk because I prefer my professor over my long time friend,but I just can't against my feelings.
^I only wish the best for you, Enchanted. Either way, you may have to face some tears--either tears over the loss of your friend, or tears over the loss of your professor.
Your professor seems only a few years older than you, so I think it foolish for me to spell out disaster for you because my own OH is 10 years older than myself, and we have spent 22 years together.
Good luck to you. I hope you will keep us posted.
sometimes, i wonder if one of the members on this site works for the cia, sis, or whatever and is keeping tabs on all of us. probably watching us lgbt people and repeating us to the government.

one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Confession: from my 10th to my 12th year of life, I really, really wanted to be a girl. It was nothing sexual.
I'd been brought up with all the boys toys, of course. I had an archery set. When we went to family friend's house, the boy wanted to play Cowboys and Indians. I went along, but I hated it. How I much preferred sitting in the girl's room, with her play phones, her play record player, and her dolls.
I liked to pretend I had long hair, in the style of Cher of 1972. My Dad had given me a crew cut, which I despised. When no one was looking, I would put on my Mother's long-hair wig, or put a shirt over my head, and use it for my "hair".
Somewhere around my 12th year of life, I saw a 38-or so year old man at the swimming pool we frequented each week. In the style of the era, he wore short, revealing trunks. I could see an enormous bulge (although it showed mostly balls). The image of that bulge stuck in my head, coming back to haunt me for weeks and weeks.
Then one day, when I turned about 13, I sat with that image in my head, and, suddenly, I realized that I wanted to suck his dick. So began my fascination with Daddies. I wanted to trace my young tongue down his chest hair, down that treasure trail, and open up those revealing blue trunks, and take his Daddy member in my mouth, working it until it finally surrendered its sweet, sticky milk. I could have spent the rest of my life with my face buried in his Daddy bush.
My budding sexuality had just opened that long-ago day.
But you know what? I no longer wanted to be a girl. The moment I began to have sexual fantasies, I forgot all about being a girl. Maybe I grew out of it. Who knows?
I wonder what happened to that Daddy? He looked very much like John Davidson. He has probably passed on now. If not, he'd be over 70 years old....
If my roommate was a gay male instead of a lesbian, we would totally get married.
I am sitting in my front yard in an inconstant sun.
There are two flies fornicating on the top of the wooden fence. They have been at it for more than half an hour.
Im a good guy. But there is only one person could snap me into a monster.
He is nothing but my dad.
How horrible is he?
To make it simple, even our family dog hates him, that explains alot.
*'cuz she got hit too
Josie, check my Comments thread in F&G,
they won't beat your dad up for you butt,
could sweeten your disposition.
Leftie..not now ^^ wrong timing
I gotta off for couple of days.. gotta deal with personal prob.
'Still posting random pic of the day- ( bookmarked it )
Have fun& be nice guys
My confession: I got 'let go' by a guy today. Another potential relationship bites the dust. I actually feel better on some level, though, since now I no longer have to wonder what he's thinking. I will never understand why people can't just be honest.
The more and more I date the less I want to do it.
had a strange dream last night. one involved me riding the bus passing in the same neighborhood my grade school is on. then it went into me heading up the main ave in my town, somehow walking through a dirty field smelling like gasoline and oil pans. i climbed up some hill with my hands and feet to get to where my brother and my homeboy were at.
then things got even weirder where i was at some hall and then there was some presidential debate between barrack obama and.... malcolm x. i was like WTF. malcolm x is dead. i was like really, is the obaminator really going to duke it out with malcolm? cnn was doing extensive coverage.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I super judge people who try to do volunteer work at Thanksgiving/Christmastime and at no other point in the year.
places like soup kitchens tend to have more volunteers than they know what to do with during the holidays... just write a check, bro. it might not make you feel as warm in your heart, but it will do more good.
if you are going to volunteer, do it in February or something when it's cold and miserable and they're short-staffed, or make a year-round commitment to it.
So did I.
It was about YOU.
You turned up in my family house back in Scotland, and you were sitting on the upper staircase with a small cat beside you. You said that you had to take your pet cat with you on the plane all the way from America because you couldn't find anyone to take care of it at home.
Then you went off downstairs and I followed, wondering if you'd gone home because you'd suddenly disappeared. But it turns out you were helping my (dad?) (uncle?) bring in some stuff from outside. Then you came back in through the back door into the kitchen, carrying an engineer's toolbox in your hand.
And then you were helping my mother and you were carrying a large dish of food over to the table for the evening dinner, but instead you just sat on a couch with it and started eating the whole thing straight off there and then.
That's all I can remember. It was a very vivid dream actually.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I'm in that same boat - although at the time, I wanted to be Wonder Woman or I Dream of Jeannie.
When other gay guys tell me about their prior longing to turn into a woman, I can never relate to it. I think, "yeesh, are y'all such mary queens?"
Then I remember that I wanted to be a wrestler who dressed like Mr. Slave.
being a guy is awesome, I totally understand Female -> Male transsexuals.... but I don't get why a guy would want to become a girl.
It wasn't so much wanting to be a woman, but more so jealousy over their ability to be sexy/sensual. And I have to admit, I liked all the accessories on the women I listed. Men's clothing is quite bland, and boring by comparison.
Not much of a confession though, but I don't have a place to post.
During the night of election day, I went with a friend who lived downtown, we had arranged to have drinks while watching the returns and sleeping over. This would also be a celebration of my new job that I'd start the next week.
I met him on an online gay profile page, we hung out last November. We didn't keep in contact much until this September when my job was gradually ending and I had more time. I hung out with him throughout October getting to know him better, so much that we had more in common than the bar hopper impression I had of him. And yes we did all the standard sexual activities besides actual fucking.
We got very buzzed or lightly drunk from wine that the bartender (his friend) kept pouring. After that we walked around the district visiting other gay bars just to see if he knew anyone there.
Later on we were walking back to his apartment in a street mostly devoid of other pedestrians. We were by then very close side by side (compared to other times we walked) and he grabbed my hand, I felt a bit awkward by this cause I never did this before. With our fingers interlocked, we walked silently on this cool night looking forward. I wasn't afraid or concerned if people saw us, in fact I felt good when a car drove by. I let go one time but he grabbed my hand again. I don't know when we finally did let go between the second hand grab and going up the stairs.
But that was probably the most memorable part of the night for me to be honest. I don't know how it will go from here but I'm just happy to have a friend that I can have a wide range of conversation with.
^It sounds really romantic, FireGod.
this may sound stupid and immature, but lately--I don't bother to compliment people (on their looks) who I know don't find me attractive as well.
It seems that a good number of people don't take a compliment seriously or give a damn about it unless it comes from someone they find "hot".
I have a terrible time taking compliments because I was a fat, acne-ridden teenager (your childhood really does form some nasty habits when you become an adult). In turn, I hardly compliment someone but when I do, it is very sincere. I have dealt with enough saccharine people to loathe them.
The very first time I had sex with a guy, I was going to bottom for this really cute guy I met at college. Things were going really well... Until the point when he was rimming me and I accidentally farted. I was so embarrassed! I sat up, looked at me, and started laughing. Luckily it didn't kill the mood. We still hook up sometimes and he still laughs about it.
"I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight, with a million stars all around."
I have crushes on some of the guys in my porn collection.
I hate my job right now. I have to be at work at 7am tomorrow (typically 9am) because people are assholes and took a holiday tomorrow.
wow. i feel your pain, man. do you get out early?
i realize that when i'm not eating fruit by the foot or any of these sugary foods and drinks, i am . just jerked off about some minutes ago and wow... i was feeling tired before and now i know that i'm about to feel extremely tired now. i feel like going to off to sleep right now BUT why? still have to fill out job applications and clean up my room because my cousin from england is going to be taking over my room. she's going to be sleeping in my bed while i'm going to sleeping on the fucking makeshift cot in my brother's room.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I was just thinking a bit here.
(hows that for fucking up a reputation?)
my thought...
if Max hates his JOB so much,
why doesn't he just quit and
join the 47% I heard about?
I don't typically hate it but because like nobody is gonna be in the office tomorrow, I have to stick around and do coverage and phones like a bitch. It's why I bought a book this week. At least I'll be getting paid to read.

To preserve a character for wisdom. (1-3) Respecting subjects and rulers. (4-10) Of foolish talk. (11-15) Duties of rulers and subjects. (16-20)
Verses 1-3 Those especially who make a profession of religion, should keep from all appearances of evil. A wise man has great advantage over a fool, who is always at a loss when he has anything to do. Sin is the reproach of sinners, wherever they go, and shows their folly.
Verses 4-10 Solomon appears to caution men not to seek redress in a hasty manner, nor to yield to pride and revenge. Do not, in a passion, quit thy post of duty; wait awhile, and thou wilt find that yielding pacifies great offences. Men are not preferred according to their merit. And those are often most forward to offer help, who are least aware of the difficulties, or the consequences. The same remark is applied to the church, or the body of Christ, that all the members should have the same care one for another.
Verses 11-15 There is a practice in the East, of charming serpents by music. The babbler's tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison; and contradiction only makes it the more violent. We must find the way to keep him gentle. But by rash, unprincipled, or slanderous talk, he brings open or secret vengeance upon himself. Would we duly consider our own ignorance as to future events, it would cut off many idle words which we foolishly multiply. Fools toil a great deal to no purpose. They do not understand the plainest things, such as the entrance into a great city. But it is the excellency of the way to the heavenly city, that it is a high-way, in which the simplest wayfaring men shall not err, ( Isaiah 25:8 ) . But sinful folly makes men miss that only way to happiness.
Verses 16-20 The happiness of a land depends on the character of its rulers. The people cannot be happy when their princes are childish, and lovers of pleasure. Slothfulness is of ill consequence both to private and public affairs. Money, of itself, will neither feed nor clothe, though it answers the occasions of this present life, as what is to be had, may generally be had for money. But the soul, as it is not redeemed, so it is not maintained with corruptible things, as silver and gold. God sees what men do, and hears what they say in secret; and, when he pleases, brings it to light by strange and unsuspected ways. If there be hazard in secret thoughts and whispers against earthly rulers, what must be the peril from every deed, word, or thought of rebellion against the King of kings, and Lord of lords! He seeth in secret. His ear is ever open. Sinner! curse not THIS KING in thy inmost thought. Your curses cannot affect Him; but his curse, coming down upon you, will sink you to the lowest hell.
1. Following up Ecclesiastes 9:18 .
him that is in reputation--for example, David ( 2 Samuel 12:14 ); Solomon ( 1 Kings 11:1-43 ); Jehoshaphat ( 2 Chronicles 18:1-34 , 19:2 ); Josiah ( 2 Chronicles 35:22 ). The more delicate the perfume, the more easily spoiled is the ointment. Common oil is not so liable to injury. So the higher a man's religious character is, the more hurt is caused by a sinful folly in him. Bad savor is endurable in oil, but not in what professes to be, and is compounded by the perfumer ("apothecary") for, fragrance. "Flies" answer to "a little folly" (sin), appropriately, being small ( 1 Corinthians 5:6 ); also, "Beelzebub" means prince of flies. "Ointment" answers to "reputation" ( Ecclesiastes 7:1 , Genesis 34:30 ). The verbs are singular, the noun plural, implying that each of the flies causes the stinking savor.
2. ( Ecclesiastes 2:14 ).
right--The right hand is more expert than the left. The godly wise is more on his guard than the foolish sinner, though at times he slip. Better a diamond with a flaw, than a pebble without one.
3. by the way--in his ordinary course; in his simplest acts ( Proverbs 6:12-14 ). That he "saith," virtually, "that he" himself, &c. [Septuagint]. But Vulgate, "He thinks that every one (else whom he meets) is a fool."
4. spirit--anger.
yielding pacifieth--( Proverbs 15:1 ). This explains "leave not thy place"; do not in a resisting spirit withdraw from thy post of duty ( Ecclesiastes 8:3 ).
5. as--rather, "by reason of an error" [MAURER and HOLDEN].
6. rich--not in mere wealth, but in wisdom, as the antithesis to "folly" (for "foolish men") shows. So Hebrew, rich, equivalent to "liberal," in a good sense ( Isaiah 32:5 ). Mordecai and Haman ( Esther 3:1 Esther 3:2 , 6:6-11 ).
7. servants upon horses--the worthless exalted to dignity ( Jeremiah 17:25 ); and vice versa ( 2 Samuel 15:30 ).
8. The fatal results to kings of such an unwise policy; the wrong done to others recoils on themselves ( Ecclesiastes 8:9 ); they fall into the pit which they dug for others ( Esther 7:10 , Psalms 7:15 , Proverbs 26:27 ). Breaking through the wise fences of their throne, they suffer unexpectedly themselves; as when one is stung by a serpent lurking in the stones of his neighbor's garden wall ( Psalms 80:12 ), which he maliciously pulls down ( Amos 5:19 ).
9. removeth stones--namely, of an ancient building [WEISS]. His neighbor's landmarks [HOLDEN]. Cuts out from the quarry [MAURER].
endangered--by the splinters, or by the head of the hatchet, flying back on himself. Pithy aphorisms are common in the East. The sense is: Violations of true wisdom recoil on the perpetrators.
10. iron . . . blunt--in "cleaving wood" ( Ecclesiastes 10:9 ), answering to the "fool set in dignity" ( Ecclesiastes 10:6 ), who wants sharpness. More force has then to be used in both cases; but "force" without judgment "endangers" one's self. Translate, "If one hath blunted his iron" [MAURER]. The preference of rash to judicious counsellors, which entailed the pushing of matters by force, proved to be the "hurt" of Rehoboam ( 1 Kings 12:1-33 ).
wisdom is profitable to direct--to a prosperous issue. Instead of forcing matters by main "strength" to one's own hurt ( Ecclesiastes 9:16 Ecclesiastes 9:18 ).
11. A "serpent will bite" if "enchantment" is not used; "and a babbling calumniator is no better." Therefore, as one may escape a serpent by charms ( Psalms 58:4 Psalms 58:5 ), so one may escape the sting of a calumniator by discretion ( Ecclesiastes 10:12 ), [HOLDEN]. Thus, "without enchantment" answers to "not whet the edge" ( Ecclesiastes 10:10 ), both expressing, figuratively, want of judgment. MAURER translates, "There is no gain to the enchanter" (Margin, "master of the tongue") from his enchantments, because the serpent bites before he can use them; hence the need of continual caution. Ecclesiastes 10:8-10 , caution in acting Ecclesiastes 10:11 and following verses, caution in speaking.
12. gracious--Thereby he takes precaution against sudden injury ( Ecclesiastes 10:11 ).
swallow up himself--( Proverbs 10:8 Proverbs 10:14 Proverbs 10:21 Proverbs 10:32 , 12:13 , 15:2 , 22:11 ).
13. Illustrating the folly and injuriousness of the fool's words; last clause of Ecclesiastes 10:12 .
14. full of words--( Ecclesiastes 5:2 ).
a man cannot tell what shall be--( Ecclesiastes 3:22 , 6:12 , 8:7 , 11:2 , Proverbs 27:1 ). If man, universally (including the wise man), cannot foresee the future, much less can the fool; his "many words" are therefore futile.
15. labour . . . wearieth--( Isaiah 55:2 , Habakkuk 2:13 ).
knoweth not how to go to the city--proverb for ignorance of the most ordinary matters ( Ecclesiastes 10:3 ); spiritually, the heavenly city ( Psalms 107:7 , Matthew 7:13 Matthew 7:14 ). MAURER connects Ecclesiastes 10:15 with the following verses. The labor (vexation) caused by the foolish (injurious princes, Ecclesiastes 10:4-7 ) harasses him who "knows not how to go to the city," to ingratiate himself with them there. English Version is simpler.
16. a child--given to pleasures; behaves with childish levity. Not in years; for a nation may be happy under a young prince, as Josiah.
eat in the morning--the usual time for dispensing justice in the East ( Jeremiah 21:12 ); here, given to feasting ( Isaiah 5:11 , Acts 2:15 ).
17. son of nobles--not merely in blood, but in virtue, the true nobility ( Solomon 7:1 , Isaiah 32:5 Isaiah 32:8 ).
in due season--( Ecclesiastes 3:1 ), not until duty has first been attended to.
for strength--to refresh the body, not for revelry (included in "drunkenness").
18. building--literally, "the joining of the rafters," namely, the kingdom ( Ecclesiastes 10:16 , Isaiah 3:6 , Amos 9:11 ).
hands--( Ecclesiastes 4:5 , Proverbs 6:10 ).
droppeth--By neglecting to repair the roof in time, the rain gets through.
19. Referring to Ecclesiastes 10:18 . Instead of repairing the breaches in the commonwealth (equivalent to "building"), the princes "make a feast for laughter ( Ecclesiastes 10:16 ), and wine maketh their life glad ( Psalms 104:15 ), and (but) money supplieth (answereth their wishes by supplying) all things," that is, they take bribes to support their extravagance; and hence arise the wrongs that are perpetrated ( Ecclesiastes 10:5 Ecclesiastes 10:6 , Ecclesiastes 3:16 , Isaiah 1:23 , 5:23 ). MAURER takes "all things" of the wrongs to which princes are instigated by "money"; for example, the heavy taxes, which were the occasion of Rehoboam losing ten tribes ( 1 Kings 12:4 , &c.).
20. thought--literally, "consciousness."
rich--the great. The language, as applied to earthly princes knowing the "thought," is figurative. But it literally holds good of the King of kings ( Psalms 139:1-24 ), whose consciousness of every evil thought we should ever realize.
bed-chamber--the most secret place ( 2 Kings 6:12 ).
bird of the air, &c.--proverbial (compare Habakkuk 2:11 , Luke 19:40 ); in a way as marvellous and rapid, as if birds or some winged messenger carried to the king information of the curse so uttered. In the East superhuman sagacity was attributed to birds hence the proverb).

2nd District romp sends 'message' to NRA, Robin Kelly says
BY NATASHA KORECKI, CASEY TONER, LAUREN FITZPATRICK AND MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporters February 26, 2013 6:30PM

Updated: February 27, 2013 9:08AM
Robin Kelly sailed to victory Tuesday in a contentious special Democratic primary election that was called to replace disgraced former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. but turned into a referendum on gun violence.
With 99 percent of the precincts reporting in the sprawling three-county 2nd Congressional District, the Matteson resident had a sizable lead over the 15 other Democrats on the ballot.
Kelly, 56, a onetime state lawmaker and former aide to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, had 52 percent, a lead she held most of the night. Her closest rival, Debbie Halvorson, had 24 percent, and Ald. Anthony Beale had 11 percent.
"You sent a message that was heard around our state and across the nation," Kelly said in her acceptance speech. "A message that tells the NRA that their days of holding our country hostage are coming to an end. And their days of scaring Congress into submission on gun control are coming to a close."
Kelly must still face the Republican nominee in the April election. The GOP frontrunner, Paul McKinley describes himself as a convicted felon who has done time in prison for robbery. But McKinley might have to fight to keep the GOP nomination. He was only 23 votes ahead of second place finisher Eric Wallace with 99 percent of the precincts reporting.
On the Democratic side, Halvorson gave a gracious concession speech to supporters in Homewood about an hour before Kelly declared victory.
"Now we have the chance to rally around Robin," Halvorson said.
Halvorson tried to dodge reporters' questions about the impact of the $2.2 million in TV ads attacking her on her support for 2nd Amendment rights.
"We made a concerted effort to say from the very beginning this wasn't going to be about money, it was going to be about the people. Little did we know how much it wasn't going to be about the money on our part," she said to laughter, alluding to some SuperPAC ads.
The man behind those ads that, by Halvorson's account, came on every seven minutes, quickly celebrated the win in a statement released before Kelly even publicly declared victory.
"This is an important victory for commonsense leadership on gun violence, a problem that plagues the whole nation," said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose Independence USA SuperPAC poured $2.2 million into the race.
Throughout the race, Kelly had capitalized on the high ratings the National Rifle Association had given to Halvorson and former candidate Toi Hutchinson — and the low ratings the gun lobby gave to Kelly.
The special Democratic primary in a special election was expected to bring out low numbers. Still, the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners says this could be the worst turnout in decades.
Kelly's campaign was feeling confident minutes before polls were closing at 7 p.m.
"The amount of folks that came out seemed to match up with what our internal expectations were," said Kelly campaign manager Jonathan Blair.
Halvorson, who lost to Jackson in 2012, raised little money herself this election cycle.
In December, Kelly resigned as a $170,000-a-year administrator for Preckwinkle. Preckwinkle initially put her support behind Toi Hutchinson, a state senator who bowed out nine days before the special primary election. Both Preckwinkle and Hutchinson later put their backing behind Kelly. Kelly became the momentum candidate in the last several weeks, with endorsements — and donations — rolling in.
Halvorson's campaign had been banking on higher turnout in Kankakee and Will counties to boost its overall numbers.
Organization pols call elections such as Tuesday's a "Precinct Captains Election," because getting your voters to the polls is crucial. The winter storm might make it a 4WD Election, as campaign volunteers battle snow-packed streets along with voter apathy.
Conventional wisdom in the congressional race had Kelly and Halvorson battling for the lead, but did not discount Beale.
However, when it came to a solid ground game, Kelly had a vast, professional operation. She had 320 people on the ground Tuesday, knocking on doors and personally driving those who need a ride. Beale, too, said he would offer rides.
"The weather has not affected our turnout expectations," Blair said. "We have not had a problem getting voters to the polls. What we've got is about 320 people on the street who are knocking on doors and asking if they've voted. Anybody who needs a ride, we're giving people a ride."
"We have about 50 people on the phone. In our universe, we're giving two full passes — going to every house twice. In one part of our universe we've gone out . . . three times. It changes by precinct, it's not any one given region."
By comparison, Halvorson ran a low-budget campaign for Congress, appearing to struggle to raise money and lending herself $25,000 at some point.
She had few resources to stave off the attack ads leveled by Bloomberg.
In his concession speech, Beale railed against Bloomberg's SuperPAC showering Kelly with money, and said he suspects the group illegally colluded with Kelly's campaign to shape campaign messages.
"Despite outsiders pouring millions of dollars into this race and possibly FEC violations that forbid campaigns and SuperPACs from coordinating, we went the distance," said Beale.
When asked if the infusion of Bloomberg cash was the deciding factor in the race, Beale said "Absolutely!"
"When somebody on the outside comes in and dumps $2 million on one candidate, it's not a level playing field."
Beale, 45, estimated his campaign spent about $230,000.
"We cannot let the Democratic Party cannibalize Democrats for ulterior motives that don't serve the people's best interests. If this is the future of the Democratic Party, then we are all in big trouble."
Among Kelly's supporters at the election results party was her former boss and former state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias.
Giannoulias, who is now the vice president of BNY Mellon Wealth Management, said that Kelly — his former chief of staff as state treasurer — was like a "member of my family."
"To see her do this well is invigorating," Giannoulias said.
He predicted she would do well in Washington, D.C.'s partisan environment, saying that she has always worked well with Democrats, Republicans and independents.
"She's a true believer, and she brings people together," Giannoulias said.
Also present were the relatives of victims who had died in gun violence. A table was set up near the front of the stage bearing pictures of their faces. Kelly made her anti-gun policy a cornerstone of her campaign.
Tonya Burch, whose 19-year-old son Deontae Smith was shot to death Aug. 1, 2009, in Chicago, campaigned for Kelly.
"I feel like we are getting a chance to have someone who will listen to what's going on in this area of gun violence," Burch said. "I know there's other stuff to deal with, but this is a big issue right now."

American Red Cross to hold blood drive on September 7 in honor of local youth Preston Weakland
(Altoona, Pa.) The American Red Cross is holding a blood drive in honor of local youth Preston Weakland on (Saturday) September 7. The blood drive will be held from 9 am to 3 pm at the 28th Street Church of the Brethren, 2800 Union Avenue, Altoona.
Preston, enrolled in the fourth grade, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a type of cancer affecting white blood cells, in February 2011. His mother, Tricia Reed, explained that he is scheduled to complete his series of treatments in April 2014 for a total of three years, three months of treatments.
"Preston is doing great," she commented. "His blood counts are good and he has experienced minimal issues. He is currently receiving treatments once a month, spinal taps every third month."
According to Reed, her son enjoys reading, video games, fishing and anything to do with the outdoors. "He loves to draw, a passion we share, and he has an amazing talent for it," she added.
Friends and family would like to encourage area residents to donate blood and help raise awareness of the need for blood and blood products for patients such as Weakland. "The life you impact could be that of a neighbor, friend or loved one," Reed said.
Blood donated during the September 7 blood drive will be used to support patients across the 100-county service area of the American Red Cross, Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region.
To schedule an appointment for this blood drive or any other American Red Cross blood drive, call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org.
Most healthy individuals who are at least 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in Pennsylvania) and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds are eligible to donate blood. Individuals 18 years of age or younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements.
The Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region serves more than 80 hospitals and must have approximately 700 people donate blood or platelets each weekday to meet the needs of hospital patients.
Individuals may also follow the Red Cross on Twitter: www.twitter.com/redcrossGAR.
The Greater Alleghenies Region directly serves hospitals, patients and donors in a 100-county area in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, with more than five-dozen blood products and related services, and also supports blood needs experienced by patients elsewhere in hospitals served through Red Cross Blood Services.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Our Best Brunch Recipes
Goat Cheese, Artichoke and Smoked Ham Strata [1]
This brunch recipe comes from Carol Mortensen of Flossmoor, Illinois. "My husband and I began hosting brunches in 1986. This goat cheese, artichoke and smoked ham strata became our favorite brunch dish," she says. "The best part is preparing it the night before to bake in the morning."
Spinach-Asparagus Quiche [5]
This hearty quiche recipe comes from Fire Lake Camp farm in Paola, Kansas, where a U-pick asparagus patch draws visitors every spring.
Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake [9]
Plump blueberries create a juicy filling in this old-fashioned sour cream coffee cake from The White Gull Inn in Fish Creek on Wisconsin's Door County Peninsula.
Eggs Benedict with Maltaise Sauce [13]
What's Maltaise Sauce, you ask? It's just hollandaise sauce with a bit of orange zest and juice added. But you wouldn't believe how that bit of zing transforms this brunch standard.
Hint-of-Orange Pancakes with Grapefruit Syrup [17]

Creating the Perfect Storm
The Design & Development Process for The Gathering Storm |
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Published 22 January 2010 |
– Design Notes from Senior RPG Developer Jay Little
One of the exciting things about The Gathering Storm campaign is the fact that it's the first adventure product available for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. As such, I'm anticipating that it will be the first exposure to WFRP for a lot of people, and for many others, the next step into the Old World for PCs who completed the Eye for an Eye adventure included in the core set.
With this in mind, the expectations and excitement from fans and players are sure to be extremely high. I knew we had a daunting task on our hands – to develop and deliver a top notch adventure that provides a varied and intriguing look at the Warhammer Fantasy setting and life in the Empire, as well as showcases WFRP's mechanics and unique gameplay.
With the help of the talented team of developers and writers, we started by highlighting some of the key features we'd want to be sure to include in the adventure. In addition to some of the classic Warhammer Fantasy thematic elements, we wanted to be sure to cover new ground, and introduce some unexpected twists and turns along the way.
Without spoiling anything from the adventure, here are just a few of the design and thematic elements we knew we wanted to cover over the course of the campaign:
We had several more goals, as well, but this gives you a good idea of the foundation we laid out. In some ways, it seemed rather ambitious. But I wasn't going to accept anything less for The Gathering Storm.
Next, we started brainstorming ideas for a story that could fulfill these goals.
I already had a few concepts in mind, but things really took off when Steve Darlington, Dylan Owen, Dave Allen, and the other writers jumped in with additional details to flesh things out. Steve Darlington really helped shape and drive the over-arching plot and the spiderweb of story threads that are woven through the entire campaign. Dave Allen stepped up and tackled Stromdorf, taking the concept of a rain-soaked, bedraggled town in the middle of nowhere, and making it look, sound, feel (and unfortunately, even smell) just right as an "adventure hub" for the story. Dylan Owen helped develop how we would take Steve's over-arching story and break it down into different sections – a prologue to set the stage, several exciting chapters of escalating tension, a thrilling climax to the campaign's events, and an epilogue to tie up loose ends.
Then Clive Oldfield, Gary McBride, and Dylan each tackled different sections from the campaign to help mesh the interesting storylines to the overall plot, while ensuring each section was a fully realized, exciting adventure for the PCs to undertake. I relied heavily on Daniel Lovat Clark and Tim Uren to help continually refine the encounters, scenes, and stories. They also helped introduce GM sidebars and suggestions and developed the mechanics and rules that would make the adventures run smoothly and easy to manage.
I knew we were on the right track when the first batch of playtest reports came in. They were extremely positive, and included comments about how some of the players were completely expecting one thing, but the story ended up delivering something different. And that the players were faced with some really tough choices over the course of the adventure. Some groups relied on diplomacy. Others on swords and spells. Characters were horribly injured, some were killed, others driven insane. Mysteries were unravelled. And players were having a ton of fun.
As more playtest reports came in, we were able to fine tune the pacing and details and make sure the final product would include the tools and resources a GM would want to have on hand while running the game.To reflect this, The Gathering Storm box includes:
So where did all the design, writing, playtesting, feedback, and fine-tuning lead us? To The Gathering Storm, an exciting, accessible campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, an adventure I'm hoping you and your friends will remember and talk about for years to come. Like it says on the back of the box: The Gathering Storm has it all. Death. Misery. Peril. Suffering. Disaster. And that's just the weather.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a roleplaying game that sets unlikely heroes on the road to perilous adventure, in the grim setting of Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world. Players will venture into the dark corners of the Empire, guided by luck and Fate, and challenge the threats that others cannot or will not face.
Thank you, hum that mean at least 2 scenario alone by myself ... ok I have to work a little ...
@Pierre Campan
From what I can tell, It should be available around the 10th of March. :)
just one word : when ?
roughtly ? February ? March ? April ?
my players are asking for food !! (rpg food I mean)
Greatly looking forward to this! I'm really psyched for a good atmospheric Warhammer campaign!
Looking forward to this supplement. My group right now is really enjoying the WFRP system. None of us have expereince the Warhammer Fantasy World before, but we have all pretty much converted. I have sort of been add libing my adventures, taking some classic DnD modules and components and changing them to a warhammer setting. That being said, a supplement full of Warhammer reference that I can use in future adventures is a welcome thing.
@ wry,
Yes they will have a symbol.
the rule book sayd they will all be able to be seperated.
This looks really promising and exciting. Will the cards be coded somehow so we can keep the ones from each of the sets - core, players, GMs and now Storm - separate?
This is as always fantastic news...
Cant wait to get my grubby chaos twisted hands on this one...
Thanks for the update
Cant wait for this and the extra cards are always welcome
@ TonyACT Jay stated in a recent interview on the accidental survivors that the playtest groups were running the campaign over 8 to about 16 sessions. As most things it will no doubt depend on the group
Possible spoiler with the Hag Tree card?
At least we now know the campaign has something to do with Chaos...
Love to see more location and item cards - nice one. Also interested in how many 3-4 hour sessions this will support as the book length is even shorter than some of the later hardback 2nd edition ones (none of which I have played mind - just browsing them at a con today and they looked nice and meaty).
Once again I would enter my plea for some of these supplements to have reprints of cards with errata on as done in Descent / Arkham etc - core expansions like this or the DM kit seem a good place for them.
Echoing what Kryyst said, It'd be cool to know if those action, talent, and condition cards are of use outside the adventure setting.

However, Cleveland natives Ryan and Anna Carmichael have done just that, founding an organization called One Heart Africa that seeks to better the lives of people living in extreme poverty in the African country of Mozambique.
One Heart Africa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that primarily assists the people of Mozambican village called Licilo with essential needs like clean water, food and education.
The "One Heart" in the organization's name refers to the heart that 23-year-old Ryan and 22-year-old Anna both have for Africa, and they said they hope their mission will be able to unite other people in the Cleveland community as well.
"We've known each other since fifth grade," Anna said. "Our hearts were on the same plan."
Both attended Walker Valley High School and went their separate ways after graduation. Anna began taking classes at Lee University, and Ryan spent nine months in South Africa and Swaziland with an organization called Adventures in Missions.
The two kept in touch whenever they could, and Anna said she remembers checking her Facebook account on campus one day in 2009 to find a message from Ryan was waiting in her private message inbox.
"He messaged me and said 'When are you coming over here?' That's what made me take my own trip," Anna said.
In fall 2010, Anna took her first trip to Kenya and stayed for three months with a group from Adventures in Missions. She and Ryan took a "vision trip" to Mozambique together in January 2012 to see how they could best help the people of Licilo. While they were there, they met a significant milestone in their personal lives. They promised they would marry each other. While they were in Mozambique, Ryan decided he wanted to propose and thought he would ask her to marry him while they were there.
"I got a wooden ring from the market, since that was all I could find," Ryan said.
They waded into a lagoon together, and Ryan got down on one knee in the water. He joked that he was secretly glad he had bought a wooden ring so it could float if he accidentally dropped the ring in the water because he was nervous. But the ring made its way safety onto Anna's hand when she said yes.
After they left the beach, they went to a restaurant for lunch. When they mentioned that they were Americans, a man who worked at the restaurant asked them if they knew the one American man living nearby. They decided to go meet him and became fast friends. The man, however, was shocked that they had not taken any photos or made any arrangements to celebrate their engagement. He insisted they go back to the lagoon for photos and celebrated with a seafood dinner and fireworks on the man's boat.
The two got married last August and currently live in Cleveland, making trips to Mozambique whenever possible. Ryan currently works for a hardwood flooring company in Chattanooga, and Anna is looking for a job. Anna said their goal is to move to Mozambique when they find the right timing and have saved up the financial resources to do so.
"That's really our focus, for sure," she said. "It's really hard to run an organization from thousands of miles away."
While One Heart Africa provides a variety of things to help people, Ryan said the main focus is providing people with education so they will have a better chance of being able to provide for themselves and their families. He said the main trade there is agriculture, but many families cannot afford to eat their own crops for fear of lost income. Mozambique's official language is Portuguese, but many Licilo villagers only speak their local language. Knowing how to read and write in Portuguese could give villagers more work opportunities, Ryan said.
"Our goal is to get the school going," Ryan said. "That is our main focus."
Anna said Sharing Hope School of Licilo is set to start classes on Jan. 28. The school will offer a first- through third-grade class, a grades 4-8 class and a high school class. They also hope to add language classes for adults in the evenings.
When the couple first arrived in Licilo to look at the possibility of building a school, they discovered the villagers lacked basic needs like having clean water to drink. Anna said women had to walk more than a mile to get water for their families. The water itself was contaminated, looking cloudy and white instead of clear, and it smelled like fish. In addition to a school, One Heart Africa has provided the village with a well to give the community safe, clean water to drink. The organization also feeds the village a meal once a week, serving around 30 school students and "hundreds" of other villagers.
While One Heart Africa's mission includes providing basics like food and water, Anna said another part of it is to share the Christian faith with those they serve. She said she hopes their actions will speak louder than words but that they will also have the opportunity to tell people of their faith.
Ryan describes Licilo's understanding of religion as "a mile wide but an inch deep." Villagers do not have a good understanding of any one religion, so they will often blend things like Catholic prayers and witchcraft-related ceremonies.
Ryan said their goal is to help locals realize they can each have a relationship with God instead of going through another person like they would a witch doctor.
While Anna said many Americans, including Christians, emphasize succeeding in a career, she believes she and her husband are called to live in a way that focuses more on others' success than their own.
"There's more than ourselves. We've been convicted that that's not the life for us," Anna said of their shared beliefs.
Anna said she sometimes gets asked why she wants to help people overseas when there are people living in poverty in the United States. She said that serving in Mozambique was her calling from God, in much the same way a person might be called to be a teacher, doctor or lawyer.
"I just know I'm supposed to be there," she said.
Ryan pointed out that the poor in the United States can receive government help such as food stamps as well as help from private organizations. In Licilo, One Heart Africa is currently the only group helping with staples like food on a regular basis.
Anna said their work is not about giving people handouts but giving them opportunities to succeed through education. In addition to maintaining the school, they plan to continue maintaining the well and providing food, because staying properly nourished is necessary for success as well.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Mozambique has one of the lowest average lifespans in the world, with the average adult only living to the age of 52. The prevalence of AIDS and severe malnutrition in the area make living to an old age more difficult.
One Hope Africa hopes to give the children of Licilo a chance to live long, successful lives.
"What if the next Nelson Mandela is this kid right here? We'd never know it," Anna said, pointing to a photo of a Mozambican little boy and referring to the 94-year-old former president of nearby country South Africa.
One Heart Africa will be taking its first-ever group trip to Mozambique in July. Ryan and Anna said they are still looking for people to travel with them and will likely have an informational meeting in February or March.

Obama Campaigns In Midwest Swing States One Day Before Election Day
Updated: December 7, 2012 6:11AM
Too many Americans are planning to sit this election out.
Too many eligible Americans, an estimated 90 million, won't have voted when the polls close Tuesday evening.
Some people think they're too busy. Some aren't interested. But many simply have the wrong idea about elections.
"Why vote?" they say. "My vote won't make a difference."
It's a complaint that sounds particularly legit in a blue state such as Illinois, where President Barack Obama is sure to beat Gov. Mitt Romney anyway.
But voting, as we all know, is not about any one voter playing kingmaker, but about all voters getting in their two cents. It's about taking a snapshot of where we as a nation stand and where we think we should be. It's a chance for everyday Americans to step in and right the ship, to nudge the country along the proper path.
And in a tight presidential election such as this one, in which the popular vote conceivably could go to one candidate while the Electoral College vote could go to the other — as happened in Gore vs. Bush in 2000 — each and every vote in even the bluest or reddest of states takes on extra symbolic heft.
Unfortunately, the election process encourages the notion that voting is pointless. Because presidential campaigns are decided in the Electoral College, in which most states' electoral votes go to the winner of the state's popular vote, national political campaigns have terrific incentive to ignore most voters, focusing on the handful of up-in-the-air "swing states" such as Ohio.
Adding to voter discouragement in Illinois, our state Legislature this year redrew congressional and state legislative districts to create numerous "safe" seats and limit the real battles to a relatively few competitive jurisdictions.
If you live in a safe district — and most of us do — the state Legislature pretty much decided who's going to represent you — or which party — in Washington and Springfield the day they drew the map. This is the norm across the country.
Those are two big reasons, by the way, that the United States trails Canada, Great Britain and many other democracies in voter turnout.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Imagine an Election Day when all eligible voters show up at the polls. What would we see, besides frazzled poll workers?
We would see an end to strategies to tilt the election against Americans' wishes by getting a larger share of one side or the other to the polls. We would see a reduction in the influence of money, which is pouring into races at unprecedented levels. We would see elected officials become more responsive to their constituents.
In one recent poll, 85 percent of those who didn't plan to vote said they would do so only if their vote would make a difference.
But it would. A little bit now. A lot in the long run.
So enough with the cynicism.
And if you don't vote today, you can't complain tomorrow.
