Joffrey Lupul sees "too much of Chara for his own good"
Cam Charron
August 17 2012 06:45AM
The Leafs Nation is lucky enough to be partnered with NHL Numbers, a website that analyzes hockey through objective numbers and tries to clear roadblocks and hurdles for the rest of us. The goal? Providing us with a better understanding of the hockey players and teams we love so much and pay so much to watch.
This can mean anything for us, how effective players were, to what kind of competition they were playing against, even to how many penalties they took and drew. The NHL doesn't record everything on its website, but it does record several events and who was on the ice: goals, missed shots, hits, takeaways, you can pretty much decipher, if you use all the available information, exactly what happened when any given player was out on the ice.
And this brings us to quality of competition.
Leafs add grit to alumni game roster
Cam Charron
August 16 2012 10:32AM
There's talk of a lockout shutting down the early part of the season, but since the Winter Classic acts as the unofficial kick-off to the NHL's romp in mainstream American sports discussion, I doubt the league would prolong the work stoppage to force a cancellation of their major January 1 event.
Sure, the NHL has the right to cancel the game, but we're told that's standard legal proceedings, protecting the league against weather and Acts of God, such as an injury to Jimmy Howard forcing the Red Wings to start Jonas Gustavsson in net.
But that's not the main attraction yet. The alumni game, which has had a bunch of people speculating whether or not Dave Keon will mend fences with the Leafs and show up, got an infusion of grit for the game. The team announced today, as per James Mirtle, that Tie Domi, Brad May and Tiger Williams will represent the Leafs.
Which first-line centres were available?
Cam Charron
August 15 2012 10:12AM
One of the major concerns about Brian Burke's tenure thus far in Toronto is his inability to find a first line centreman for Phil Kessel, and, to a lesser extend, Joffrey Lupul. (This is ignoring that Burke already has a first-line centre in Mikhail Grabovski, but I think recent history has shown that you can't go too far without two good guys down the middle. There's still that need.)
I've looked at it before and if there is a concern about the Leafs not having a goaltender, it's because they missed out on Kari Lehtonen, Craig Anderson and Jose Theodore, and possibly even Jaroslav Halak. Using the same sort of analysis, are there centremen that have been moved in Burke's tenure that were both attainable and good enough to be on Toronto's first line?
Martin Lapointe and NHL player salaries
JP Nikota
August 15 2012 07:49AM
"Everybody but the people who run teams base performance on how many points you get [or] how many goals. Well, we don't. If he gets goals, that helps, but you have to look at the overall contribution to the team. Martin [Lapointe]'s a character person. He comes to play every night. He came from a winning program. And we needed at his position."
- Harry Sinden
The above quote tells us a lot about how the NHL's financial situation got to be where it is today.
Leafs Nation round table - Should a goalie be Burke's priority?
Cam Charron
August 14 2012 02:58PM
This may be an extended offseason, so to break up the time, some of the writers on TLN are exchanging emails to each other, discussing the Toronto Maple Leafs and NHL hockey as whole. Today's topic is whether or not the Leafs ought to make it a priority to acquire a goaltender, or if they ought to focus on building the roster first.
From: Cam Charron
To: JP Nikota, Ryan Fancey
Subj: Priorities
I mostly want to ask JP this question because we had a mini-discussion in a comment thread earlier this week about the Leafs' priorities. I think the priority for Brian Burke ought to be to acquire another defenceman, but JP suggested that they need a goalie.

Hal Saflieni Hypogeum (1 on map)
This must-see sight is quite extraordinary. It is a burial complex cut into solid rock by the same people who built Malta's unique prehistoric temples between 3600BC and 2500BC. Like the temples, the Hypogeum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For conservation reasons only ten people per hour can visit, so book as far in advance as possible. Visits start with a short film before you descend into the underworld in an accompanied group with a very good audio guide. The complex consists of three layers (the deeper the more recent) each with multiple rooms. It is estimated that it once held some 7,000 bodies, deposited down here over a period of nearly 1000 years. The most impressive room, the 'Holy of Holies', is a carved copy of the above-ground temples cut into the rock. Being underground, it has been far better preserved than the actual temples. I never tire of this remarkable place. If you have failed to book before arriving in Malta, tickets for two tours per day (noon and 4pm) are sold at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta the day before. Also note that while older children are likely to find this place enthralling, kids under six are not admitted.
Address: Burial Street, Paola
Getting there: bus to Paola Parish Church: numbers 83, 84, 91
Contact: 00356 21805019; heritagemalta.org/museums-sites

Diving (2)
Malta has some of the best diving in the Mediterranean, and 50,000 people a year come to this country to dive. There are dive centres all over the island offering everything from beginners' courses to equipment hire for experienced divers. Diving in Malta is less about vast numbers of colourful fish (though there is plenty of sea life) and more about extraordinary underwater landscapes and wrecks (some deliberately scuttled for the purpose). There is a good choice of dives both from the shore and reachable by short boat trips. Day trips to Comino and Gozo with yet more dive sites are also easy to organise. The dive centre whose details are listed here, Dive Deep Blue, is an example of a well-established dive centre approved by BSAC, PADI and TDI. Run by British diving instructor Jonathan and his Maltese wife Catherine, it has been going for 16 years, has plenty of facilities and offers courses from beginner to advanced/specialist, as well as guided diving. Always check your chosen centre is licensed: if it is, it will be listed at visitmalta.com/en/dive-centres. Malta dive schools accredited to the BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club) are listed here: bsac.com.
Address: Dive Deep Blue, 9/11 Ananija Street, Bugibba
Getting there: bus to Bugibba Central Station (multiple services), or Dive Deep Blue will collect – free from Bugibba, Qawra and St Paul's Bay, €5 if further afield

Reservations: recommended
Grand Harbour boat tour (3)
The famous Grand Harbour is at the heart of much of Malta's history (and some of Europe's). It is the site of the Great Siege of 1565 in which the Knights of St John just managed to hold off the invading Ottoman Turks, as well as the centre of significant events of World War Two. The harbour was home to the British Royal Navy in the Med until the 1970s. Having seen the view from the Upper Barracca Gardens, in clement weather it is well worth getting out on the water. My favourite way to do this is on a tour in a traditional dghajsa. There used to be hundreds of these colourful little wooden boats ferrying sailors between ship and shore. Now there are only a few and their oars (used standing up) are supplemented with a motor, but I think they are still the most evocative way to get around the Grand Harbour. Do not encourage your boatman to take you beyond the harbour walls; these boats are not designed for the open sea. A&S Water Taxis offer half-hour tours, six passengers to a boat, leaving from Customs House, next to the Valletta Waterfront, or from Birgu/Vittoriosa waterfront on the other side of the harbour.
Address: Customs House, Valletta Waterfront, Floriana
Getting there: bus 130 to Valletta Waterfront; or multiple bus services to City Gate Bus Terminus, then short walk to Upper Barracca Gardens from where the lift takes you down to the Waterfront Customs House. Tours can also be picked up from the Vittoriosa Waterfront (buses 2, 3)

Lascaris War Rooms (4)
Deep inside the bastion walls of Valletta, these tunnels were once the slave quarters of the Order of St John. In the Second World War they became the secret headquarters of the British and Allied Mediterranean forces, and it was from here that General Eisenhower commanded Operation Husky, the successful invasion of Sicily in 1943. You can still see ops rooms complete with maps, phones and plotting tables, as well as ancient-looking – yet inventive – communication systems. There is an audioguide in English as well as human guides full of additional facts and stories about Malta's crucial role in the war. The Lascaris War Rooms are underneath the Upper Barracca Gardens so it is easy to visit both on the same outing.
Address: Lascaris Bastion, Valletta
Getting there: bus to Valletta City Gate bus Terminus (multiple services)
Contact: 00356 21234717; lascariswarrooms.com
Opening times: daily, 10am-5pm; last tour 4.15pm
Prices: €10; seniors 60 and over and students, €8; children under 16, €5
Payment type: credit cards accepted
Reservations: not necessary
Grand Master's Palace (5)
This palace was the home of the Grand Master of the Order of St John from the time Valletta was built in the early 1570s until the Knights were kicked out of Malta by Napoleon in 1798. The Grand Master was head of a celibate religious order but by the 17th century behaved much like a secular prince, as you will see from the portraits, rich armour, rare tapestries and luxurious décor of the Grand Master's State Rooms. The palace has remained the centre of power in Valletta through British times and independence. It is now both parliament and the office of the President. The MPs are expected to move to the new parliament at City Gate in 2015, but the president will remain, which means the State Rooms sometimes close unexpectedly for state activities so do call ahead to check. The Knights Armoury remains open.
Address: St George's Square (also called Palace Square), Valletta
Getting there: bus to Valletta City Gate Bus Terminus (multiple services)
Contact: 00356 21249349; heritagemalta.org/museums-sites/the-palace-state-rooms
Opening times: the State Rooms: Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, 10am-4.30pm; Sat, Sun, 9am-4.30pm; last entry 4pm. Armoury: daily, 9am-5pm; last entry 4.30pm
Prices: €10; seniors 60 and over and youths 12-17, €7; children 6-11, €5, children 5 and under, free. When State Rooms are closed the Armoury only costs €6; seniors and youths 12-17, €4.50; children 6-11, €3

Reservations: not necessary
Malta at War Museum (6)
This is not only a museum about Malta's Second World War but – for me more interestingly – it offers tours of the vast World War Two shelter below ground. Don a hard hat, pass through the (reproduction) gas curtain and descend into the world of the Maltese during the worst of the war. Malta was the target of some of the most concentrated bombing anywhere and this area, home of the Grand Harbour dockyards doing crucial ship repair work, was hardest hit. Hundreds of people spent days and nights down in these hand-cut rock tunnels with only smoky little oil lamps for light. The guides here are exceptionally well informed and really bring the place to life (in English). In summer, bring a sweatshirt as it can be cold by comparison with outside.
Address: Couvre Porte, Birgu/Vittoriosa
Getting there: bus to the Couvre Porte, Birgu/Vittoriosa: numbers 2, 3
Contact: 00356 21896617; maltaatwarmuseum.com

Payment type: credit cards accepted
Reservations: not necessary
St John's Co-Cathedral (7)
The Knights of Malta's main church, this extraordinary place of worship is up there with the most important Baroque buildings in Europe. The outside is plain, even severe in style, having been designed by the military architects who built Valletta as the Knights' citadel capital in the 1570s. The interior, however, is dazzling, every inch covered in gold, marble or paint. Even the floor is a sea of tombs in coloured marble. Each language group of the Knights had a chapel here and they competed for the greatest and most sumptuous decoration. Recent restoration has only served to brighten the place further. The audio guide is worth using and points up the highlights amongst the visual mêlée. Don't miss the oratory which is home to Caravaggio's largest (and only signed) painting, the superb Beheading of St John.
Address: St John's Square, Valletta
Getting there: bus to Valletta City Gate Bus Terminus (multiple services)
Contact: 00356 21220536; stjohnscocathedral.com
Opening times: Mon-Fri, 9.30am-4.30pm (last entry 4pm); Sat, 9.30am-12.30pm; Sun, open for services only
Prices: €6; seniors 60 and over, €4.60; students, €3.50; children under 12, free. Entry for services is free (but you can't wander around or take photos)
Payment type: credit cards accepted
Reservations: not necessary
National Museum of Archaeology (8)
Built as the 16th-century home of the Provencal Knights of the Order of St John, the Auberge de Provence now houses even older Maltese heritage. Most important, in my view, are the carvings and other finds from the nation's unique prehistoric temples. These are some of the oldest stone buildings in the world (built 3600-2500BC). Inside them were found statues of, amongst other things, the 'Fat Ladies of Malta', obese figures that were probably part of an early fertility cult. They now reside in this museum which is not to be missed if you are visiting the temples, as almost all the original carvings are here. Upstairs are interesting recently-opened galleries covering the Bronze Age and the Phoenician period. There are also often temporary exhibitions in the Knights great hall.
Address: Auberge de Provence, Republic Street, Valletta
Getting there: bus to Valletta City Gate Bus Terminus (multiple services)
Contact: 00356 21221623; heritagemalta.org/museums-sites/national-museum-of-archaeology

Reservations: not necessary
Casa Rocca Piccola (9)
Visit the home of a distinguished Maltese noble family in an historic Valletta palazzo. I am lucky enough to have been shown round by both the Marquis Nicholas de Piro and his English wife and you too may find yourself guided by a member of the family. Their home is full of Maltese antiques including inlaid furniture, a very rare set of 18th-century silver surgical instruments from the Knights' hospital, costumes, jewellery and paintings. Don't miss the traditional gallerija (painted wooden balcony) still with its peep-hole in the floor looking down on the front doorstep. Beneath the house is the family's World War Two bomb shelter hand-cut into solid rock, and the household cistern, something every 16th-century house in Valletta had to have so that water could be collected against dry periods and siege. Visits are by tour, in English, starting on each hour.
Address: 74 Republic Street, Valletta
Getting there: bus to Valletta City Gate Bus Terminus (multiple services)
Contact: 00356 21221499; casaroccapiccola.com

Mnajdra and Hagar Qim (10)
Malta's prehistoric temples are amongst the very oldest stone buildings in the world and all are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Built between 3600BC and 2500BC, they are much older than Stonehenge and significantly more sophisticated. They have multiple rooms, flooring, roofs, monumental doorways, stone furniture and statuary. Mnajdra and Hagar Qim are my favourite temple sites and in my view the best temples to visit first. The two temple complexes here sit 500m apart in attractive landscape closer to that in which they would have been built than any of the other temples on Malta. At Mnajdra, there are three temples next to each other and the largest is quite typical in construction and layout. Hagar Qim (closer to the entrance) is interesting precisely because it is atypical. There is a useful introductory exhibition in the visitor centre and an audio guide to both sites.
Address: Hagar Qim Street, Qrendi
Getting there: bus to Mnajdra and Hagar Qim: numbers 71, 201
Contact: 00356 21424231; heritagemalta.org/museums-sites

Payment type: credit cards accepted
Reservations: not necessary
Tarxien (11)
Malta's prehistoric temples are amongst the very oldest stone buildings in the world and all are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Built between 3600BC and 2500BC they are much older than Stonehenge and significantly more sophisticated. They have individual rooms, flooring, roofs, monumental doorways, stone furniture and statuary. Tarxien is now walled around by modern buildings making it much less evocative than the temples at Mnajdra and Hagar Qim, but one of the four temples here, Tarxien South, was probably once the most richly decorated of all the temples and many of the most impressive carvings (now in the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta) come from here. The Tarxien complex is also the temple site closest to the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum – the extraordinary and not-to-be-missed three-layered underground burial complex about 1km away. They probably served the same community, and Tarxien and the Hypogeum make an excellent combined visit.
Address: Neolithic Temples Street, Tarxien
Getting there: bus to Tarxien: numbers 81, 82, X7
Contact: 00356 21695578; heritagemalta.org/museums-sites/tarxien-temples

Mdina Cathedral and Museum (12)
The diocese of Malta has two cathedrals. Mdina cathedral was the only one until in 1816 the Pope made St John's in Valletta another (hence St John's Co-cathedral). St John's was the church of the Knights of St John (the Knights of Malta); Mdina's St Paul's was the island's own cathedral. It is the most impressive church interior after St John's, and you can usually see more of the colourful inlaid marble floor tombs here than in Valletta where they are often protected by covers. The Baroque building we see today was completed in 1702, incorporating small parts of the earlier church destroyed in the earthquake of 1693. The Cathedral Museum has an impressive collection of church silver, illuminated religious tracts, grand masters' swords and 50 woodcuts and copperplates by Albrecht Dürer. Tickets must be purchased in the museum before entering the cathedral through the side door.
Address: Mdina
Getting there: bus to Mdina Main Gate (multiple services)
Contact: 00356 21454697; mdinacathedral.com

Prices: combined ticket to the cathedral and museum: €5; students, €3.50; children under 12, free
Payment type: credit cards not accepted
Reservations: not necessary
St Paul's Catacombs (13)
These early Christian Roman/Byzantine catacombs were once just outside the walls of Malta's Roman capital (centred on what is today Mdina). A remarkable labyrinth of underground tombs cut out of solid rock, they are unusual in having agape tables (circular tables) and benches cut into the rock. This is where the funerary feast would have taken place, presumably by the light of the oil-fired Aladdin's lamps that can be seen in the glass case by reception. The tombs here date from Phoenician times to the arrival of the Arabs in 870AD but most are fourth to eighth century. They vary from simple rectangular holes in the walls and floor to elaborate "four poster" canopy tombs that once had carved or painted decoration. A torch is a useful aid to exploration. Don't miss the smaller tombs reached by separate entrances. One of them has a remarkable carved tombstone covered in images of surgical instruments. It is so well preserved that when I first saw it I assumed it was a reproduction. It isn't.

Well, for one, I graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in Music, and I've been playing piano for about 14 years. I'm a music theory nerd, and educate my students with theory concepts such as augmented/diminished intervals, scale degrees, 7th chords, etc (... don't worry if you or your child don't know what any of those things are... that's why I'm here). I have some credits in Jill Scott's album "Light of the Sun" as a background vocalist. I also have some substantial classical vocal skills (in a more general term, "opera"), however I don't teach voice. As far as piano, I have a background of classical training from college, and I currently boast a clientele list of 19 private students.
The first time I played a drum set was in 3rd grade music class. I was hooked. I now love the feeling of getting a piece of music, scratching through it a few times, making mistakes, fixing mistakes, rehearsing, rehearsing more, then playing it on stage for a stale audience that ends screaming for an encore. In Elementary School I experienced 2 types of music lessons. #1 Lessons that were too structured and boring because students were not able to have success at each lesson. The focus was on the structure vs. enjoyment. #2 Lessons that were very fun and challenging to work towards because students could see progress each week. From that experience I am very confident that my enthusiasm towards learning percussion will be challenging and rewarding. My music career has ...

"The design and quality of these stylish calling cards is excellent. Different than anything else that you see and versatile to use as calling cards or to include on a gift box. Interesting to look at and modern layout. And the Tinyprint design people were very helpful when I made editing requests. Will certainly reorder!"
"These business cards are wonderful! I love the design and TinyPrints even changed the colour to match the note cards I ordered at the same time. I choose this design because it struck me as professional yet a little bit of fun. The high quality of the paper is exactly what I have come to expect of TinyPrints (and WeddingPaperDivas). The cards are a lovely weight. I can't wait to give away these cards!"
"I did not have as much information to add to the card as the example does, but with some tweaking of my own and the help of the final reviewer, my cards look fabulous! I couldn't be happier. They are beautiful, practical, and so me. The paper quality and printing were great...and they arrived before the estimated arrival date!"
"I used this as my updated "Mom Card." I love the texture, colors and fun frame. I changed the name font to something more whimsical and is suits me perfectly."
"I ordered this card for my husband's business. We personalized the font and monogram --- we did more of a script font for his initial versus the plain text. This came out absolutely beautiful! The card is a gorgeous thick cardstock and everything about it looks elegant and high end. He has received many compliments on this card!"

Its a stupid thread, but i figured, why not? Ive been doing less stupid threads lately, right? SO...... My mother calls me from NY yesterday to say, "Im at the open with Romeo and your sister........ and i dont know who to watch? Have you heard of Golovan, Forina, Henine, etc." Give me a freaking break. Mom and Sis compete in leagues at a high level in tennis and only know a few real tennis players, and ask questions like, "how are the twins playing these days". They really should give a test to make sure you know who the players are. EEEEK! Any other examples of TICKETS WASTED ON THE STUPID

Thank you Jason for this follow-up book with protein. I really enjoyed being introduced to healthy green drinks when I received the gift of your first book, "The Healthy Green Drink Diet." The recipes were great (the Strawberry Patch is a favorite) and easy to make. I was actually wondering how I could make the drinks even healthier since my days at work are busy and I know that there are many empty calories in much of the food we eat. I like knowing that the nutrient-packed drinks I have learned to make are guaranteeing that I am getting the "healthy stuff" everyday. The additional fiber and protein ingredients as well as all of the good information Jason lays out in this new book's recipes are just what I was hoping for.

I am currently studying Mechatronics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of University of Banja Luka.
I devote my free time to software development. I started coding in high school where my love for programming came to life. I am mostly self-taught and did not have much formal education when it comes to software engineering. While this may have some downsides, I feel privileged to not be biased by anyone's preferences in programming languages and coding styles - I was allowed to choose what best suited me and develop my own style of coding.
I have worked as a software developer in a company which produced electronic roulette systems, poker and slot machines and jukeboxes, where I was introduced to the world of electronics for the first time.
Combined software engineering, electronics and mechanical engineering was a logical path for me to follow and I am looking forward to career in these fields.

Sauteed Vegetables with Chile-Tamarind Sauce Reviews
Bon Appétit | September 2003
Arun's, Chicago, IL
reviews & comments (4)
I made this without the coconut milk and tossed in the chili sauce before serving - excellent dish.
I'm not sure why this didn't work for me. It was OK, but way too much work for an OK dish.
A truly amazing and flavourful sauce. The preparation time was definitely longer than I'd expected, but completely worth it. Followed the recipe as presented.

The Beauty Of Dating At 40
1. You Learn To Appreciate Your Body. At 26 I was a sexy size 8. I also had the metabolism of a 26 year old, which was the main reason I was a size 8. At 33 I was a size 12, at 36 a size 14, at 37 almost a size 16. At 40, an age when a lot of people just naturally slow down, I trimmed down to a size 10/12. Why? Because I didn't take my body for granted like I did at 30. At 30 my body just was what it was because of my genes and metabolism. The body I have now is one I earned by working for it. I learned to appreciate the body I now have and not take it for granted. You won't see us bathing in the sun or out boozing til 3 am and looking haggard or weathered for two days after. We stopped frying our hair with dyes and irons and treatments. We moisturize, we drink less, we spa and steam, we work out, we eat better than we did in our twenties and thirties because we know the benefits.
2. You Learn to Appreciate Life Itself More. The older you get, the more likely it is that you'll lose people close to you. From 30 - 40 I experienced some profound losses in my life. Nothing makes you realize how life can change in an instant like an unexpected loss. 5 Reasons To Grow Old With Someone
3.You Learn to Value Sex More. You've had the flings and the one night stand. You've had the hot three times a night sessions. But by 40 you've been around the block enough to learn how great sex is, how much better it is, when you're having it with someone you trust and respect. You're okay with saying no and heading home to watch TV or go to the gym or just hanging by yourself. You don't "need" the sex. You'd like it, sure. But you just don't feel compelled to screw someone because they make you feel pretty. 5 Things I Wish I Knew About Sex At 30
4. You Learn To Value Your Time More. At 26 I didn't care about staying out til 2 am and waking up with a hangover and nursing it for the next 24 hours. Now? I can't be bothered. I wouldn't want to give up a full day to couch lounging. I have errands to do, exercise to do, stuff to do. I no longer hang with friends who are emotionally draining and toxic. I've pared down my inner circle to close friends who know me and don't bullshit me and waste my time.
5. People Expect You To Look Great at 30. When You Look Great at 40, You Exceed Expectations. This one is self-explanatory. Anybody can look hot at 25. But at 40? Not as easy.

A woman arrives to pick up her new glasses and gasps audibly once she puts them on, amazed at how crisp and distinct objects suddenly become. According to the manager of The Landings Eye Care, this is the reaction that his crew strives for with every patient. During each eye exam, his wife and her staff strive to spend ample time with patients to understand their concerns and explain their ocular conditions. To this end, staff schedule appointments at least 45 minutes apart to give clients extra personal attention and ensure little-to-no waiting time, which is often spent doing eye-straining activities such as watching a basketball game on a cell phone or crying over the results of a basketball game. After the exam, patients are escorted to the fitting area, where a specialized crew gives the patient a tour of the myriad frame options lining the warm wood shelves, helping them select the most flattering options for their face shape. This team keeps updated on latest trends, meeting with vendors every two months to uncover the newest bestsellers.
Studio 54 Salon & Day Spa is committed to beauty from the inside out. The staff members know that a multitude of factors, from vitamin intake to common health problems, play a role in keeping manes and complexions in top-notch shape. That's why its stylists don't just trim away split ends, and its aestheticians do more than merely moisturize skin. The beauty experts also help clients maintain vibrant and healthy skin and hair by referring them to the registered nurse on staff, who performs complete health checks, including measuring blood pressure and screening for diabetes. In addition, Studio 54's staff members offer a range of hairstyles, including options for chemotherapy patients, as well as facials, waxing treatments, and massages. These services utilize vitamin- and mineral-rich ingredients to remove the environment's harmful effects, including sun damage and smog-filled pores.
In the year 2000, after hundreds of hours of yoga practice, workshops, and conferences, Tanya Edwards's hard work culminated in the opening of her very own studio, Art of Yoga. And today, alongside her team of certified yoga teachers, Tanya helps practitioners of all experience levels build strong bodies and sound minds with an eclectic teaching style grounded in the Hatha yoga tradition. The serene, sage-colored studio heats up to a balmy 95 degrees during hot yoga, a 90-minute routine of stretching and sweating that encourages the body to expel harmful toxins, such as liquefied body parts of T-1000. Other class styles include a gentler restorative class, an intense core-centric yoga class, and a Bollywood fusion class that infuses low-impact Eastern dances with Western fitness techniques.
What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

"I knocked 20 minutes off a 12-mile ruck march, and still had a spring in my step" and "My personal record in the triple jump went from 32 feet to 34 feet."
The National Civil War Naval Museum takes modern-day visitors through the little-traveled footsteps of the sailors who fought in the Civil War, telling the story of the country's deadliest war from a naval point of view. Exhibits detail the technology and commerce that soldiers encountered, and provide a human backdrop with stories about soldiers and slaves affected by Civil War navies. Guided tours feature uniformed sailors who interpret the history of everyday life aboard a Civil War vessel or tell the story of a ship that served in the war. For a spookier outing, nighttime tours explore paranormal anomalies and analyze evidence from ghost investigations that happened in the museum.
As they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby, trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.

This shirt is super soft and comfy. The material seems to be high quality. However, I did not like the collar and the size of the neck hole is gigantic. It's just my preference and observation that you could easily fit two heads into this neck hole. I did not like this characteristic so I returned the shirt.

Big brother catches little brother peeping at him...
Because our house was so small, I had to share a bedroom with my younger brother, Dean. When I was younger, it didn't bother me all that much, but at almost eighteen, I wanted and needed my own space. For a twelve tear old kid, Dean was alright I suppose. Even so, he was at that age, you know, when he needed his privacy, too.
Don't get me wrong, our bedroom was quite large as bedrooms go. There was enough room for our single beds, a shared double wardrobe and a computer desk, so it wasn't exactly cramped. But it was space I had to share.
The problem was that dad had pissed-off four or five years ago with some tart he'd been shagging behind mum's back. Mum said, after he'd gone, that she'd been glad to see the back of him as the slapper she'd caught him with that time wasn't the first. Dad wasn't big on parental responsibility, either, and the tight-fisted old bastard never contributed a penny to mine and Dean's upbringing. So mum had to go out to work and we ended up in a council house on a better-than-average estate of identical so-called 'family homes'. Yeah, right.
It was the school holidays, about eleven o'clock in the morning and I wasn't in the best of moods anyway. I'd had another argument with the girl I was seeing, Dinah, (thick as pig-shit but fantastic in bed!) and she'd broken up with me for about the eighth time in as many months. I knew she'd ring me in a day or two, crying her eyes out and begging me to take her back because she "really, really loved me". Like the twat I was, I'd forgive her again, start going out with her again and break up with her again a few weeks down the line. Still, as I said, sex with her was always brilliant, so I figured the other hassles were a small price to pay for getting laid two, sometimes three, times a night when we were together.
I'd had along soak in the bath and only had a big bath towel wrapped around my waist when I returned to my bedroom. Dean was still in bed, the idle little sod. His eyes were closed and I assumed he was still asleep. Turning my back to him, I dropped the towel and began drying myself.
I got that creepy 'fingers up the spine feeling' a couple of times, like when it feels you're being watched, but I just dismissed it. At least I did until I happened to glance in the full-length mirror that was fixed to one of the doors of the wardrobe. I was being watched - by my little brother!
Oddly, I wasn't angry or offended. Hell, truth be told, I actually felt quite flattered. I was used to being seen naked; in a small house like ours, it couldn't always be helped. Sharing a bedroom it was virtually unavoidable.
Without wishing to sound vain or come across as the big 'I am' or something, I knew I looked good. I was six feet, one inch tall, weighed a trim fourteen and a half stones and had a good physique. I went to local gym at least twice a week and worked out with a couple of mates. Mum said I got my looks from my dad, which was about the only thing I had to thank him for in my opinion. I'd lost my virginity with a sixteen year old girl when I wasn't much older than my brother was now.
I'd been propositioned more than once by guys, too. I politely declined each time, and thanked them for asking. me, I couldn't give a toss whether someone was gay, bent as a nine-bob note or what. As long as they didn't give me shit, I was fine.
So, when I saw that Dean was watching my every move, I decided on the spur of the moment to teach him a lesson. I stood up slowly, stretched to my full height, giving him a good view of my flaccid prick in the mirror, then turned around suddenly to face him.
He closed his eyes quickly, but not quick enough. He knew I'd seen him and rather pathetically tried to make out he was still asleep.
"Cut the crap, Deano" I said, deliberately using his nickname, which he hated.
"What?" he said, trying to sound like I'd just woken him up.
"As I said, cut the crap" I repeated.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Craig" he lied, averting his eyes from my naked body.
"Oh? So you weren't laying there watching me, then?" I challenged.
"No, I wasn't!". He actually managed to sound indignant and offended at the same time. Had I not actually seen him looking at me, I might have believed him.
"You're a bloody liar!" I told him as I took the three paces from my bed to his. I stood over him, my prick dangling in front of his face. "Is this what you were looking at?" I asked, holding my prick.
"I wasn't looking, Craig, really I wasn't" Dean said, sounding a little scared. Unfortunately for him he took more after mum than our dad. He was small for a twelve year old boy, and had delicate, rather girlish features. You know the look; that cutesy, pretty-boy, boy-band-member look. He also had a tendency at times to act like a girl at times, too. Like now. It was that that annoyed me.
"Don't fucking lie to me!" I swore at him, "I saw you looking at me. There's a bloody mirror over there", I said, pointing my arm at the wardrobe, "and I could see you looking at me, you bloody pillock!"
My anger had its desired effect.
"I'm sorry, Craig" my little brother whimpered. "I didn't mean to look" he added.
I should have given him a spade to help him more easily dig the hole he was making for himself. His eyes had barely blinked while he was watching me.
"Oh right", I said sarcastically, "so you accidentally opened your eyes; your eyes accidentally happened to be looking in the mirror and you accidentally forgot to fucking blink as well?!" I learned at an early age that sarcasm, properly used, could quite often produce desired results. I was pretty good with it, too.
Dean said nothing. He knew he was caught. I stood there looking at him, teasing him, really. The fear of what might happen is often far more powerful than what actually happens, a lesson I'd learned from the bullies at school. It was through them that I took up fitness training. I got pissed-off with being scared.
I wasn't a bully myself, not usually. I wasn't really bullying my little brother, but I was getting a kick out of teasing him, though.
"I'm sorry" Dean mumbled.
"Well, sorry ain't good enough this time, Deano" I said, my voice all reasonableness.
"Wha, what do you mean?" Dean asked, a tremor in his voice.
"You were obviously looking at me for a reason" I told him, "and from what I could see, it was this you were looking at" I pointed to my prick.
Dean said nothing, just lay there looking up at me from his pillow.
"Well, have a look, then, if that's what you want" I urged. He tried to disguise it with a blink, but I saw my brother's eyes flick to my prick, just momentarily.
"Don't be shy, now. This is a once-only offer, just for you" I heard myself saying, sounding like a corny Arthur Daley-like second-hand car salesman. "You can even touch me, if you want to" I added.
He wanted to, I knew he did. I could feel his want and his indecision. God only knows what had got into me. From teasing my brother, now I wanted him to take hold of my prick!
I waited for him to make a move, but he just lay there, so I took the initiative. I whipped my hand under his duvet, grabbed his wrist and slapped his hand on my prick.
"Go on, open your bloody fingers and hold me!" I ordered.
Slowly, Dean's fingers curled around my prick. He held me very gently, as though my organ was the most delicate and fragile thing he'd ever touched. In some respects, it was, too. Hell, as far as I was concerned, it was delicate, if nothing else!
It came as much a surprise to me as it must have done to my brother when it began to swell in his hand. What had started out as a prank was rapidly turning into something far different to what I'd intended. I was becoming turned-on... very turned-on.
In no time at all, my prick was fully erect in my brother's hand. Again, without bragging, I have to say that I was pretty well endowed. Erect, my prick measured an impressive six and a half inches (yeah, I'd measured it one day!"). None of my girlfriends had ever complained about it! My brother had given up all pretence of not being interested. His eyes were glued to what he was holding in his hand.
"Is that what you wanted to see, Deano?" I asked. he didn't reply.
"C'mon, you don't have to be shy with me. You're holding my prick for Christ's sake!" I laughed. That brought a nervous smile to his lips.
"I was wondering..." he began, then tailed off
"Wondering, what?" I asked. "Wondering how big I was or something?"
Dean nodded and smiled again.
"Well, now you know" I said. "What do you think?"
Dean looked away for a moment. I saw his face redden as he blushed. I could tell he wanted to say something, but was either too shy or embarrassed to say it.
"C'mon, mate", I encouraged, "I won't laugh at you or anything.
"Really?" he asked
"Yes, really"
My brother looked at me to see if I was bull-shitting him, which I wasn't, seemed satisfied with whatever he read on my face and nodded.
"I... I think it's beautiful" he said softly, looking right into my eyes.
Beautiful? Whatever I'd been expecting him to say, it certainly wasn't that! A girl had said the same thing once, but hearing it from another guy was... weird. Even so, I can't say I disliked hearing it.
Dean's fingers were gripping me more tightly and I was becoming more aroused the longer I stood there. I was horny anyway as I'd not got laid last night. I decided to tease my little brother a little longer.
"Kiss it" I said.
"If it's that beautiful, then kiss my prick" I told him, feeling sure that he'd refuse and pull away from me. Instead, he turned the tables on me.
"Are you sure?" he asked, his voice awe-struck.
"Yeah, of course I am" I said airily, still believing he'd back off. I was wrong.
The next thing I knew was that my little brother was sitting himself up and his lips were closing in on my prick. For a brief moment I thought about stepping back so that he'd look really stupid, but at the same time realised that I didn't want to. I had no idea what was happening to me but I wanted to feel my twelve year old brother's lips kissing my prick.
And I did. His lips pressed against the side of my shaft so lightly, so delicately, that it felt as though a feather or something had touched me.
"Do it again" I told him, my voice carrying less strength than previously.
This time when Dean kissed my shaft, I felt his lips pressing warmly against the softness of my foreskin. He kissed me again, then again, his lips moving up and down my swollen shaft, right to my thatch of curly pubic hair then up to the smooth head.
"Is that alright, Craig?" he asked softly.
"Yeah, yeah, it's cool" I answered in a voice that tried to sound disinterested. It probably didn't, though.
"Can I, er, you know, put it in my mouth" my little brother asked after he'd kissed me up and down my shaft again.
It was at that point it began to dawn on me that I was no longer in control of a situation I had brought about. And you know what? I didn't care. Somehow or other I was actually enjoying myself!
"Uh, yeah, if you want to" I managed to answer, hoping that my rising excitement didn't show in my voice.
I felt my foreskin being slowly being pulled back, exposing the smooth shiny purple head. Dean opened his mouth and, holding my breath, I watched as my little brother's mouth closed around my prick.
Dinah liked to suck me off, but she was really clumsy about it, you know? It was only because I liked blow jobs that I let her put her mouth anywhere near my prick . Dean, though, treated my prick with what I could only describe as reverence. His lips closed around my sensitive glans and he flicked his tongue lightly over its sensitive smooth surface.
I had never felt anything like it. My brother's tongue lightly flicked over my glans like a butterfly, making me feel things I had never felt before when a girl did it to me. Then he took more of my length into his mouth, taking me as far into his throat as he could manage without gagging. I felt one of his hands cup my ball sac and lightly squeeze them. That sent a thrill of never-before-experienced sexual arousal shooting through my body. I swear my prick became stiffer and thicker!
Dean began to move his head backwards and forwards, his lips sucking me deep into his throat, his tongue constantly licking the sensitive head. His hand held my balls gently, his fingers giving them the lightest of squeezes every now and then, which made me gasp in pleasure. Jeez, but it felt amazing!
My hips naturally wanted to hump, but Dean was able to control me so effectively that each time I shoved my hips forward, he just backed away a little. It was frustrating and arousing, all at the same time. I'd never experienced anything like it.
When I felt my body beginning to tingle, I knew that it wouldn't be too long before I climaxed. Still my twelve year old brother kept his mouth clamped firmly around my swollen shaft, his head moving rhythmically backwards and forwards, his tongue licking and flicking the glans continuously.
The pressure was building up in my balls and I desperately wanted to hump Dean's face, but he wouldn't let me. I felt myself becoming irrationally angry at him for frustrating me like that, but I didn't dare do anything that would cause him to stop what he was doing to me.
I was on the very brink of tipping over into climax, trying to force my balls into giving up their load of cum. My whole body was rigid and I was making strange, animal-like noises as I willed my body to release me from the unbearable sexual tension that was surely going to drive me crazy any moment.
Suddenly, Dean whipped his head back and released my prick. Immediately his hand grasped my shaft tightly and he began to pump it vigorously; hard and fast. Seconds later, the dam that my body had been holding back burst and I cried out loudly as cum exploded from my prick.
My knees nearly buckled as my balls gave up their load of cum and my head swam with the force of my climax. Spurt after thick spurt of creamy fluid shot from the head of my prick and splashed onto my little brother. His hand continued to pump me, drawing every drop of the precious fluid from the depths of my sac until he was satisfied I had no more left to give.
My prick was still quite hard when my legs gave out and I sunk heavily to the floor. My prick was still throbbing and tingling, dribbling clear fluid still. The massive high I'd enjoyed cumming was slow to fade away and, as I lay panting beside my brother's bed, a stupid grin spread across my face. It was, without any doubt whatsoever in my mind, the very best climax I'd ever experienced. And it had been my twelve year old brother who had done it to me.
He was looking at me, his pretty-boy face a mask of innocence. I loved him right then, I really did. If he'd been a girl, I would have kissed him. I managed a smile for him as my breathing slowed and my pounding heart started to beat at its normal pace again. The stiffness left my prick, too, and it lay curled in my lap like a deflated balloon. I felt great!
A dozen or more questions were running through my mind as I sat there: where the hell did my brother learn to give blow jobs like that? How long had he been doing it ? Was he gay? Did I care if he was? (no) Why me, today?, none of which I had answers to, but I was sure I would before too long.
Dean used a corner of his duvet cover to wipe my cum off his chest then got out of his bed. Like me, he slept naked and I saw that his little prick was standing up stiffly as he stood upright.
"That was bloody brilliant!" I told him. He beamed a brilliant smile at me.
"Thanks", he said, stepping towards me. "I'm glad you enjoyed it".
"Where... how did...?" I couldn't make my mouth work properly.
"I dunno" Dean said dismissively, as if it was unimportant to me. "I'm not gay, if that's what you're thinking" he added. That was exactly what was going through my mind.
"Well, you must have done that before" I insisted. "You looked like you know what you're doing"
No, I haven't" my little brother said. "All I've ever done is wank... and look at some of your DVD's"
So, the crafty little shit had found where I hid my porno stash! Even so, it didn't explain how he learned to give a blow job like the one he'd just given me, and I said so.
"Honestly, Craig, all I did was watch how the girls in the films did it and copied them" he told me earnestly. I believed him. One thing my little brother wasn't was a convincing liar.
"Okay, fair enough" I conceded. I was almost afraid to ask the question that was really bugging me.
"So how, you know... what we just did?" I asked vaguely.
"I dunno" he said. He paused, thinking for a few moments. "If I tell you something" he began slowly, "promise me you want laugh at me or call me names"
"Oh, for God's sake, Deano, you've just my prick in your mouth!" I sighed, "I'm hardly in a position to be calling you names now, am I?"
"No, I suppose not", he agreed.
"So, what was it you wanted to tell me?" I prompted.
My twelve year old brother sat beside me, dragged his legs up and rested his elbows on them His prick had gone soft again, shrivelled down to a walnut-sized lump between his legs.
"Well, when I was watching your DVD's" he began slowly, "I found that I was looking at the guys more than the girls". His voice was barely above a whisper as he said the last, and he was blushing furiously. His face was a deep red.
"When I wanked", he continued, "I was, you know, thinking about what it'd feel like to... to, you know..." He tailed off, took a deep breath then exhaled it slowly.
"When I wanked I was wondering what it felt like to suck a prick!" he gushed, getting his words out as quickly as he could. "I thought I was weird or something" he added, looking at his feet.
"You daft sod!" I said brightly. "Firstly, you're not weird" I told him, "and, secondly, most boys go through a stage like that when they're your age".
"Really?" Dean asked, his face brightening a little.
"Yeah, of course they do"
"Did you, then, you know, look at blokes and stuff?" he asked.
I'd not only looked, I'd even experimented a bit with one of my mates, but I wasn't about to admit that to my own brother.
"Yeah. Yeah I did", I told him, "but, you know, only in a curiosity sort of way"
"What, like me you mean?"
"Well, yes and no" I said slowly. I was treading on thin ice and didn't want my little brother to know one of my most closely guarded secrets, especially as the lad I'd messed around with was still a good friend.
"That doesn't make sense" Dean told me, and he was right, of course.
"Look" I said, turning to face him, "when I was eleven or twelve I found that I liked looking at the guys at school, you know, in the showers and that. I didn't fancy any of them or anything like that, it was just a growing-up thing. I knew all along that I liked girls anyway!" I laughed, and Dean laughed as well.
"I like girls, too, Craig. Honestly"
"I know you do... and I know they like you". I mentioned the name of a neighbour's daughter who thought Dean walked on air. She was only ten, though, and ten year old girls don't figure much in the romantic aspirations of twelve year old schoolboys. Dean laughed with me as I teased him.
"But I still get stiffies looking at guys" my brother said softly.
"It'll pass" I told him casually.
"What if it doesn't, though? I mean, I really liked sucking you" he insisted, "and" he went on before I could speak, "I want to know what it feels like for a guy to suck me!". then, out of the blue, he began to cry. Not sobbing crying, but fat tears leaked from his eyes.
"Come on, Deano" I said soothingly, "it will pass. Trust me, I've been there"
"Look" he said, sniffing loudly, "just talking about it is making my prick hard"
It was true. My little brother's tiny prick was rock hard again between his legs again. I felt a funny shudder go through me as I sat there next to my naked brother. Memories of another twelve year old boy came back to me... Good memories, too. I felt my own prick beginning to stir again.
"Stand up" I said
"Why? What for?" Dean asked. God, younger kids could be so bloody annoying at times!
"Just stand up, will you" I said patiently. Without another word, he did so.
My twelve year old brother stood in front of me, his crotch just about level with my face. Suddenly, I was twelve years old again and I opened my mouth and took my brother's tiny stiff prick into it.
Until the moment my tongue licked at Dean's smooth glans, I hadn't realised just how good it felt. When I'd sucked my mate's prick, I didn't have a lot of idea what I was doing. We only sucked each other a couple of times, watched each other wank, and that was about it. Five years older and more experienced, I had a better appreciation of what I was doing, and feeling.
My brother's twelve year old prick was little more than a stiff twig. It was thin and only about three inches long. He didn't even have any pubic hair yet! Using just my lips I eased the foreskin back and sucked Dean's tiny stiff organ right into my mouth, feeling my own prick swell to full erection again.
I lashed his sensitive head with the very tip of my tongue, which made him squirm so much that I had to hold him still. I put my hands on his arse cheeks to steady him as my head moved up and down on his rigid prick. Dean's bum wasn't very big and my hands almost covered it completely. Without meaning to, I found that my fingers were able to feel his arse crack.
Another strange surge of arousal shot through my body and straight to my prick, making it feel harder still. God, it was wonderful having a little boy's prick in my mouth again, so wonderful that my fingers began to explore my younger brother's arse crack.
Dean flinched when he felt the tip of one of my fingers probe his tight anal ring. I held him more tightly and sucked him harder and faster as I pressed my fingertip firmly against his anus. He made small sounds of protest, but weakly, as though he didn't really mean what he was saying. I ignored him, anyway, when I felt his tight ring of muscle relax and my finger slipped into his sphincter.
I felt Dean's prick stiffen in my mouth when my finger slipped all the way into his arsehole and I sucked his prick harder still. I eased a second finger into his arse and he began to hump his hips backwards and forwards, forcing his prick deeper into my face and my fingers deeper into his arsehole.
I felt Dean lay his hands on top of my head, gripping me tightly as he become more and more aroused. I was just holding his tiny prick gently in my teeth as he thrust his hips forwards and back again, allowing him to face-fuck me. At the same time I was sliding my fingers in and out of his sphincter, finger-fucking his arse.
It wasn't very long before I tasted the first salty drops of pre-cum on my tongue. I let go of my little brother's prick and he immediately grabbed hold of it. He began to wank furiously while my fingers continued to fuck his arse.
"Ahh! I'm gonna cum!" he squealed a moment or two later. His small body went rigid and he let out a long groan as a stream of cum shot out of his prick and spattered my chest. A second load quickly followed the first as Dean continued to pump himself vigorously. Several smaller dribbles of cum leaked over his fingers before he slowed his wanking, then stopped altogether. I eased my fingers out of his sphincter and he flopped onto the floor beside me.
"Oh! Wow!" he gasped, drawing big breaths into his lungs, "that was incredible!"
"Yeah", I agreed, breathing heavily myself.
There didn't seem to be much more to say after that so the pair of us sat on our bedroom floor, steadying our breathing and thinking our own thoughts.
I'd tried to finger my mate's arsehole when we'd experimented, but he had got scared, accusing me of being queer. That was the last time we got together like that. Soon after I lost my cherry to that girl I mentioned earlier and all thoughts of other boys went out of my mind from then on.
Until I'd seen the way my kid brother was looking at me. Even then, I wasn't bothered. It was when he took my prick in his mouth that I really began to enjoy myself. And when I'd sucked his little prick and finger-fucked his arsehole, all sorts of feelings began to confuse me. My prick was still stiff, too, which wasn't helping any, either.
"Looks like I need another shower" I said after five minutes or so.
"I need one, too" Dean said as he sat up. "I've still got your cum on me". My brother's cum had pooled in my pubic hair, a fact I pointed out to him.
"Yeah, well" was his ambiguous, nonsense reply.
Neither of us suggested it, but we both made our way to the bathroom together. I sorted towels out for us while the water warmed up and Dean peed. He stepped into the shower behind me.
"Your prick is beautiful" he reverentially, taking it in his hand again. He knelt down and, with the warm shower spray falling over us, took me in his mouth again.
If anything, it was better than before. I don't know whether it had anything to do with being in a warm shower, or what (I liked wanking in the shower, maybe that was what the association was for me), but having my twelve year old brother's mouth wrapped firmly around my swollen shaft again felt even more magical that the first time in our bedroom.
Dean was even more gentle than before, which turned me on wickedly. I felt his tongue slowly trace the sensitive ridge of my smooth glans, which made my legs tremble. He snaked a hand between my legs and I felt his fingers feeling for my rectum. I opened my legs a little wider and shortly afterwards felt an electric shock of arousal shoot through me when Dean's fingertips pressed against my anus.
He continued to suck my swollen prick, lazily running his tongue over the sensitive head. As he had done when I'd had his prick in my mouth, I felt I had to steady myself with my hands my brother's head.
A small sound of pleasure escaped me when Dean's finger forced its way through my tight anal ring, and began to move in and out. My prick stiffened in my brother's mouth and he sucked me harder still. A second finger slipped into my sphincter, then a third, which was the most incredible feeling. Dean was finger-fucking my arsehole like he'd been doing it for years, slipping his fingers out to my anal ring, then quickly shoving them back into me.
I was making all sorts of noises without realising it. I could hear my own voice echoing around the tiled bathroom as my little brother aroused me to a pitch I'd never felt before. Over and over his fingers slipped in and out of my sphincter while his mouth and tongue stimulated my swollen shaft.
Suddenly, I didn't want to waste the load of cum that was accumulating in my balls and watch it wash away down the shower drain. I pushed Dean's head off my prick, which wasn't easy! He looked up at me from his kneeling position, concerned. I smiled at him as I asked him to remove his fingers from my arsehole. I reached down and pulled him to his feet.
A bottle of shower gel hung off the little tray on the shower rail. I applied a liberal amount to my hand and began to rub it into my brother's chest. I washed his torso, slowly working my way down to his crotch. My suds-filled hand gripped his tiny prick and began to 'wash' it thoroughly, bringing it to erection once more.
I turned Dean around so that his back was to me. I applied more shower gel to my hand and rubbed my sudsy hands over his shoulders, his back and his arse cheeks. I slid a very soapy finger into the crack of his arse and fingered his tight anus.
My twelve year old brother laid his hands flat against the wall, pushing his girlish arse out as I applied yet more shower gel to my fingers - and some to my stiff prick. I slid two gel-slicked fingers in to Deans tight arsehole and finger-fucked him until I felt his anus relax. Taking hold of my swollen organ I pressed the head against my little brother's anus and pushed my hips forwards.
A deep groan escaped from Dean as the bulging head entered his virgin rectum. I moaned myself when I felt my full length slip gently and easily into my brother's young body. My prick felt huge as I began to hump my hips backwards and forwards, filling Dean's sphincter. He was very tight around my shaft, but that just made having my prick in him all the more enjoyable for me. Every movement of my prick in his sphincter sent shivers of pure sexual pleasure through my whole body.
I saw Dean remove one of his hands from the wall and reach for his prick. As my rigid shaft fucked his arsehole, he wanked himself. We were both making a lot of noises of unrestrained enjoyment as our bodies took pleasure from one another.
I felt Dean's sphincter tighten around my shaft and he yelped that he was going to cum. Seconds later, my prick held in a painful, vice-like grip, I couldn't move for a few moments as my twelve year old brother's young body became rigid as his tiny prick shot it's load of cum up the shower stall wall. He slumped against the tiled wall when he was spent and I began to slam my prick into his body hard and fast.
I gripped Deans hips tightly as my prick pounded his arsehole. I felt my own climax building in intensity, my prick swelled thicker still then I was crying out as warm creamy cum shot from my shaft and deposited itself deep in Deans sphincter. Still my hips kept slamming my shaft into his body, pushing more and more cum deep into him. It felt like a flood of my precious seed was filling my brother's young body as my hips slammed into him again and again. Eventually, there was no more left to give him and I eased my wilting prick from his body.
I couldn't remain standing and sat down in the shower tray, allowing the rapidly cooling spray to wash over me. Dean passed me the bottle of shower gel and I washed myself where I sat. The spray was cold by the time I followed my brother out of the enclosure and grabbed a towel.
There was a huge change in our relationship from that day on. I won't lie and say that what I've described in these pages never happened again, because it did, many more times. Me and Dean found that we enjoyed the 'other' side of our sibling relationship too much to ignore it.
I finished with the brainless bitch, for good, a week or two after we got back together again, but not without coercing her into helping Dean out. As a special 'pre-thirteenth birthday' treat, I arranged for him to enjoy the physical delights of my girlfriend before I dumped her for good. She was happy to oblige me, of course.
Dean got himself a girlfriend and, as far as I know, wasted no time in putting his new experience to good use with her. Me, I found myself a lovely girl to go out with. I think she might be 'the one', you know?
Even so, I notice that I've become increasingly conscious of how many good-looking young boys there are out there. Surely, one or two of them must be as sexually confused as my twelve year old brother had been? I would be more than willing to help any of them out...

This is the sickest thing ive read. Boys of the same age exploring eachother is normal and to be expected, but not when theres such a huge age difference. I know this is fiction, but if the previous comments were serious, this story has inspired some readers to go and act out this story with some poor victim, and most likely the young boys they target wont be so willing as the poorly written boy in this story. I understand that this type of attraction is not a choice but offending is. So i urge all who feel attractions towards young boys to seek psychiatric help. Parapheelias like this are not as engrained in who you are as sexual orientation and with councelling you can change if you want to.

Average dick size for America and England is about five inches, so six and a half isn't bad. Truthfully if a guys dick is five inches or more it doesn't matter to me, in fact it makes me cringe and roll my eyes if in a story they say that 'His dick was over seven inches' Or 'Her breasts were So large' I just like average.

I am a fan of your writing, Lollylover, so I'm going to put it down to the way you write that turned me on and not the subject matter!

Beautifully detailed ships model! Wonderful condition for its age. Only thing missing is a little of the blue stripe around the center of the ship. There is also a few little water stains on the 3 of the sails as seen in the photos. The little life boats swing, the ships wheel turns, and everything is so detailed. Note the 2 little sets of wooden stairs, and the all of the rigging, and the rope stairs going up each mast. It measures 25.5" long x 20.75" high, and it is about 4" deep.
