These posts will contain all the information as it comes in about the new Highland council. Be patient as I am human and can not write everything at once!
The Highlands Council
The council is a place for the Nobility to come together and rebuild our ravaged Kingdom. Its primary purpose is to decide upon matters of import concerning the Kingdom, be they the introduction of laws, the defense of the realm or otherwise. This is the House of Nobles. Everyone on the Council has an equal vote, regardless of their noble rank. The only person who does not get an outright vote is the Regent, as she stands in place as a moderator. This helps create some balance, to prevent people from voting one way just to find the Regent's favor, or another just to spite her. The goal is to focus on what is best for the people (Or your own noble class, depending on what type of person you are).
Questions: How do I join the council?
A: You play an Arathi Noble that owns land in the Highlands and has people to govern. You can not simply own land and have no people. You can be a noble that is currently displaced and will eventually have people if the land is reclaimed.
Q: What if I don't like the voting? Can I be angry about it?
A: Sure you could, but if you make a scene, you'll be removed. The key to keeping a flowing council and healthy environment for everyone involved. It won't do anyone any good to stand around and yell at once another. Debating can happen and is not discouraged, as long as it stays with the flow of the Council. Don't speak over people, don't interrupt, wait your turn to ask questions, be an adult. We can't have every meeting ending in a sword fight just because you didn't like how the voting went. Losing your side is something that can and will happen when you join a council. If you break the flow, you'll be removed by the guardians of the council. Charges can and will be brought up if issues continue. But remember, this is a safety net here, just to prevent people from not acting like adults.
Q: What will be brought up during a meeting?
A: Things that have been previously submitted to the council for review. That means, if you want a law introduced, to appeal for aid, or to show up naked and talk about it, you have to submit your topic before the meeting begins. This should be done on normal days, at least a day before so that the topics can be put in some idea of order and reviewed in good time. If there are simply too many topics to discuss that evening, some will be broken up for other days, as the meetings are not intended to drag on for hours.
Q. What's all this defense stuff? Do we have to vote on who gets help?
A. No, if you bring up a defense matter and want aid, bring up your case. The other people are free to pledge help if they can afford to. All of the Highlands needs help, so getting help to each place takes time.
Q. What if I need to think about the law before I vote?
A. That's perfectly fine. All laws will not go into effect until the following week. You have until the set date of that next week to put in your vote. You can not change your vote, so be sure of your vote before you give it. The options are, For, Against, or Unknown. If you -don't- vote by the set day, the law will go on without you. This prevents people from stalling on forever.

Q: I don't have all day for council meetings, how long are these?
A: They will have an absolute set time. Once that time is up, the meeting will be concluded and whatever is left will have to wait. No last minute voting will be forced, as we want each person to have a chance to debate the fluff of the law if they need to. We are looking at anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours.
Q: Who else can attend?
A: The Noble. No weapons will be allowed inside the room. There will be armed guards posted outside the meeting. If you bring a guard, they must stand outside the room. If you have an assistant, they also must be unarmed. You may have one of those. Only the noble may speak, and the floor must be given by the Regent. If the noble can not make it, their assistant can stand in for them, but can not vote. The votes must be given later in the week by the noble.
Q: I don't want you to be regent, I'm not interested in a leader for Arathi.
A: Perfectly fine. We will not be governing your roleplay if you decide you want to do something different. We won't be taking your land, nor telling your people what to do. You are free to play as you wish, and we aren't interested in making people play to a story.
Q: Alright, I changed my mind, I want to be involved. What now?
A: Respond, write me a letter, let me know. Whisper, shout, however you want to. Roleplay with us because you want to unify Arathi. Or because you want to secretly puppet the council and get all the votes in your pocket. It doesn't matter why you want to, only that you want to.
A few key reminders here: This is all roleplay. IC stays IC, and OOC communication is a good thing. We are writing a group story here, so we want the experience to be good for everyone.
Q. What if I don't want these laws to be a part of my land, even if they were passed?
A. All laws are merely a suggestion, to provide unity in the Highlands. We are absolutely not in the business of controlling you, nor the land you have worked so hard to make. The laws will be in effect for "common areas." The roleplay is not focused on control. Not now, not ever.
House of Commoners to follow! Don't worry Commoners, you are not forgotten!
Edited by Hellissa on 3/27/2013 12:27 PM PDT
House of Commoners:
The purpose of the House of Commoners is to give the common people a place to discuss their own problems and desires for change. At the end of the meeting, all the suggestions for change will be collected and presented for the House of Nobles to review. Because the class of commoners is not yet educated and many unable to read, it is for the best that the system remain tiered.
The House of Commoners is free to discuss their own major problems that concern them, such as work orders for various areas, what changes they'd like to see done, and to petition for their own wants and desires. A moderator will sit and take notes of all the various things agreed upon to submit to the Noble Council.
Q. How do I join THIS council?
A. You must be an Arathi citizen. You don't need land, a home or a job. That's alright. This house will be in the business of helping you find those things. You can find a new land to call home and a new leader to love!
Q. Is there voting? The last council had voting.
A. There is, to a lesser extent. This House has less things that they actually need to vote on. You can't really vote on who needs a job, or what issues are around. You can vote to submit the requests that go upward. This is more a forum to discuss problems and find solutions.
Q. Well, can I be angry here? We are commoners after all, and we like to riot.
A. No, if you come to this forum, you need to act like an adult too. The Moderator is not a lion tamer and should not be required to bring order to the council every five minutes. If you have an issue, you'll submit it to the council and if your idea is called out, you'll be called forward to speak on it. People can question from there, by not blurting out things at random. If you are a problem, you'll be asked to leave.
Q. Well, these sound a lot bigger, are they going to take all day?
A. Nope, they too will have a set time. From 1.5 to 2 hours. Then the meeting will stop, notes will finish up, and everyone can eat a feast before they go. Commoners get hungry.
Q. Do we get armed protection too?
A. No weapons will again be allowed in the room. Armed guards will be posted outside. This is to protect you, and of course, the moderator.
Q. Alright, how do I get involved in this one?
A. Same way you could have gotten involved with the first. Respond, ask questions, write letters. Dive right in.
Q. This doesn't sound like we have a lot of power. You said equality!
A. Things take time. If people aren't educated about the problems, then they can't be expected to know the best solution. Now, I'm assuming as you are playing a commoner, that your commoner didn't get a lot of schooling, that they aren't some master-leader, and that they -don't know- the issues. They -don't know- the best solution, and they -don't know- all the issues present with fixing the problem.
Everything is as always, a work in progress. Things don't change overnight. People can't suddenly become enlightened and know exactly how to run their own life when they've been lead all their lives by someone else.
Point here is to still have fun, to have more events to attend, and to reach more people.

This sounds like the red wedding waiting to happen.
I'm a little confused.
If all people are equal, then why do nobles have special privileges?

I'm a little confused.
Some are more equal than others.
Ferenold is an Arathi noble. He was granted land in the highlands.
I'm a little confused.
People are totally misinterpreting Hellissa's initial statement and her desire for the future. None of the changes stated in that other thread have actually taken place yet, as the council has yet to meet for the first time and vote on them.

I'm not misinterpreting anything. What I'm saying is that if the goal of this council, which has been stated several times, is to equalize the social roles of Arathor, then doesn't a system built entirely on lordship seem nonsensical?

You make an excellent point, but... That is not the goal of the council by any stretch of the imagination. Those are Hellissa's individual goals. Each Noble on the council is different and laws that place commoners on the same footing as Nobility will not likely pass. It's a case of an idealist trying to push these things forward that will undoubtedly be shot down by the Nobility.
The simple answer is, No matter how much Hellissa wants those changes to happen, she can't just take everyone else's power away from them and say, "Too bad, you are equal now."
There'd be a full on rebellion. Hellissa's vision of the future is not the vision that will be. She is not a dictator, and thus can not change things alone. The House of Commoners to come will help balance things a little better and give the common class room to grow into leadership positions. It gives them a chance to vote and offer real change too.
The system can't be turned upside down in a day, and they may never change at all. A good foundation has to be built in order for change to happen at all.
When I update the House of Commoners, it will show what power they will have, but it won't be taking away from the people who are already in charge. The noble class isn't dying just because Hellissa doesn't like when people don't care about their citizens.

Lord Darion Havenport looked over the letter that was returned to him by his eldest son, Strong Havenport. He sat as his desk, with three of his sons in the room -- Strong, Gaerret, and Brandon. All were clad in their armor. "There is to be a council." Darion said after several moments of silence.
Strong stepped up. "I will represent us, father. I am to be Earl one day, so this matter must fall to me. You cannot go outside the walls of Havenport." Darion waved him off.
"One of the things to being a good Earl is sending others in your place when the need arises, Strong. You must not always represent the golden anchor of Havenport. You must allow your brothers..." He motioned to Gaerret and Brandon. "To also represent you, lest they get angsty and challenge your rule." He looked at Gaerret. "You will go, my second son. You have long been a steward, let us see what you are able to do at this Council. You have my blessing to represent us."
Gaerret nodded. "I shall represent us, father." He bowed his head to his older brother. "And one day, you, when you become Earl." Darion waved them all out.
The House of Havenport would soon be part of the politics again.
Added the house of commoners, and a bolded addition to the Noble section.
90 Human Paladin
What exactly are these 'common areas' that will be governed by the laws, in the scope of the roleplay community at large? That is to say - are you in the process of this council claiming to rule 'Arathi except for the specific lands of those who do not want to be involved'? Or perhaps will such laws only apply on the lands of those that do wish to be involved an no where else?
I suppose what I am trying to gauge is how much power and reach you are giving this council in 'terms of story'.
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.

How to use the Facebook Acquaintances List to hide annoying updatesPosted on January 13, 2015 | 7 CommentsWe all have those friends – the ones that post status updates continuously throughout the day, overwhelming your news feed with pictures of their breakfast croissant, pictures of their dogs, their grocery list, and the latest viral videos. You like this friend and want to stay in touch, but you're just not interested in every single detail of their daily life. Here's an updated method for keeping someone's updates off your news feed.
What is Nearby Friends on Facebook?Posted on June 4, 2014 | No CommentsA few days ago I shared how your iPhone keeps tabs on where you are. Well, Facebook does too. "Nearby Friends" on Facebook mobile lets friends know that you're nearby. If you have the Facebook app on your phone (iPhone or Android) you have this feature available. Nearby Friends is an opt-in feature; meaning, it is OFF unless you turn the feature ON. Let's take a closer look at Nearby Friends, including what it might mean for teens.
5 Minute Facebook Privacy CheckupPosted on January 13, 2014 | 4 CommentsFacebook privacy settings can be so confusing. Facebook seems to change their settings frequently and the myriad of options can be overwhelming. Recently a friend realized that he had been sharing his Facebook posts not just with his friends, but with everyone on Facebook. When your posts are public, there is an increased chance that you will show up in Facebook search, and that your information is exposed to people you don't know. So here is a suggested 5-minute Facebook review to make sure that you are only sharing with your friends.
How to Distance yourself from a Facebook friend without UnfriendingPosted on December 27, 2013 | 242 CommentsA relative of mine asked me, "What can I do if I don't want to see someone's updates on Facebook, but I'd rather not unfriend or block them?" Here's how to make it seem like you have unfriended a person. First, you will prevent their updates from showing up on your news feed (the page you see when you first log into Facebook). Then, you can prevent them from seeing your updates.
Who can see what I've shared from a public Facebook page?Posted on November 24, 2013 | No CommentsI recently received a question from a reader about Facebook privacy: "How can I be hidden in the sharing list when I share something from a public page? (By sharing list I mean the list of who has shared a post, that everyone can see.)" Only people who would have reason to see your posts in the first place would see that you have shared something from a public page. Your best bet - look for the globe! For details, read on.
Changes to Facebook Privacy controls – the Privacy ShortcutPosted on December 28, 2012 | 2 CommentsFacebook has received criticism in the past for making privacy settings difficult to find and understand. A new privacy shortcut icon now leads you to the most important settings. A streamlined Privacy and Account settings page makes it easier to find all settings in one place. A detailed explanation is also available for those who really want to dig in to the specifics.
Protect your Facebook account from hackersPosted on November 7, 2012 | 20 CommentsRecently a friend-of-a-friend's Facebook account was hacked. She realized that spam e-mails were being sent from her account. Here are some steps you can take if you believe your account has been compromised, along with some steps to prevent this from happening. Please share this with your Facebooking teens. A 2011 survey showed that 30% of teen's accounts had been hacked – by a friend! So help them check their privacy and security settings on a regular basis.
How to Quit FacebookPosted on September 7, 2012 | 6 CommentsI was chatting with some friends recently and one mentioned that she'd taken a break from Facebook. She was deciding between getting back into it, and just quitting altogether. She said she was on "Facebook Life Support" which I thought was pretty funny!
Facebook App Privacy: Control how your data is sharedPosted on August 7, 2012 | 2 CommentsFacebook connects with other websites and apps in many different ways. The information (data) you enter in Facebook can be used by other services. Follow these steps and learn how to prevent Facebook from sharing too much data.
Kids on Facebook – Yes, No, Maybe?Posted on April 30, 2012 | 4 CommentsI read a startling statistic the other day: 4% of children on Facebook are under the age of 6! This attention-grabbing headline was just one result of a survey of 1,000 U.S. parents. It reminded me of one of my first articles, originally published in February 2011. Most of what I wrote over a year ago still holds true.

spamassassin based SMTP/LMTP proxy daemon
spampd is an SMTP/LMTP server designed to be hooked into the MTA processing chain (e.g. as a content filter). It is written in Perl and uses the Net::Server framework. It is intended to provide spam filtering at the system level (i.e. ususally for all users). If you rely on per-user configuration or per-user Bayes databases, spampd is not for you.
The major advantage of spampd over plain SpamAssassin (both directly and through spamd) is that it doesn't need to load all needed perl modules on every invocation or spawn a C programme for every mail it receives. Compared to using spamc/spamd, spampd can usually provide a 25% performance increase with local-only tests.
The advantage of spampd over amavisd-new is that it uses the original SpamAssassin header tags, which are more verbose than the tags which amavisd-new provides. This allows easier filtering in the mail client and easier tuning of SpamAssassin.

Prior to this, he served in the U.S. House for ten years. He told USA Today, "I have mixed feelings. You know what, it's somebody else's turn. To walk away from this position and this power is not an easy thing. But I think it's the right thing."[2]
Harkin was born in 1939 in Cumming, Iowa. He earned his B.A. from Iowa State University in in 1962 and his J.D. from Catholic University of America in 1972. Sanders has also worked as a carpenter and journalist.[3]

MIDDLEBURY — Former Project Independence Director Anne Ginevan harkened back to the launch of the senior day care program during the late 1970s.
The program — then run under the auspices of the Counseling Service of Addison County — provided basic recreational, nutritional and health care services to five elderly clients who gathered for around seven hours per day in the lower level of the Middlebury United Methodist Church.
MIDDLEBURY — On a recent morning Otter Creek Yoga founder and director Joanna Colwell did something you'll likely never see her — or anyone else — do again.
Almost apologetically, Colwell walked across the recently laid wooden floor of OCY's new Marble Works studio space in her cowboy boots.
MIDDLEBURY — Owners of downtown Middlebury's Battell Block confirmed on Monday that a Thai restaurant will soon move into the vacancy at 22 Merchants Row, a spot most recently occupied by Doria's restaurant.
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Careening down a Vermont mountain on the back of an all-terrain vehicle driven by a 16-year-old boy, without having taken the time to find a helmet, John Curran was looking to reach the town of Rochester, isolated by flooding left by the remnants of Hurricane Irene. Mainly he was looking for a story.
MIDDLEBURY — The United Way of Addison County's goal for its annual fund-raising campaign remains unchanged from the past several years. But the organization's officials are viewing the campaign, which kicks off this week with the Days of Caring volunteer event, in a landscape after Tropical Storm Irene that is both financially and literally different.
GRANVILLE/HANCOCK — Three weeks after flooding from Tropical Storm Irene cut off road access, phone lines and electricity service to the White River Valley, the two easternmost towns in Addison County are marking small improvements in the valley each day.
As residents of Granville and Hancock begin to tabulate damage, officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are fanning out across the county and working with homeowners, town officials and business owners to help them apply for disaster assistance.
GRANVILLE/HANCOCK — Though some might argue that it's not an ideal time to open a store on Route 100 in Granville, with access still restricted by flood damage, Daniel Sargeant disagrees.
In fact, he said, the crowd that turned out to the grand opening of the Granville General Store on Thursday just goes to show how much the town-wide bonds have strengthened in the wake of the damage wrought by Tropical Storm Irene.
LINCOLN — Speaker Shap Smith on Thursday announced the appointment of Rep. Michael Fisher, D-Lincoln, as the chair of the House Committee on Health Care. Rep. Fisher, the current vice chair of the committee, replaces former Rep. Mark Larson who resigned from the Legislature in August to become the Commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access. Rep. Sarah Copeland-Hanzas, D-Bradford, will become the committee's vice chair.
ADDISON COUNTY — Step by step Addison County native Rory Jackson made his way from the east coast of Ghana to the west.
As he rambled along the shore in 2002, it never dawned on Jackson that his path would lead him to build a free school for young Ghanaians.
Along his pilgrimage, he reflected on the course that delivered him to that far away African land by the Gulf of Guinea.

Very clean, quiet location but walking distance to bank,restaurants and shops. Short drive to excellent beaches at Campoamor among others.
Mags and Lawrie were very considerate and good hosts, eager to please and ensure everyone enjoys their stay.
Hot tub has great views over area and the pool was excellent. The breafast is very good and there is an excellent choice.
Was a bit tricky to find first time but later on not a problem, Lawrie is working on it! Follow main road South through San Migue - Anonymous
Nice rooms; helpful, friendly staff; relaxed atmosphere. A charming hotel all round. - Anonymous
Everything. Amazing hotel in the centre of the town with free parking. Room and bathroom were stylish and very clean and well equipped. Lovely breakfast. Exceptional service , very friendly staff. Much more than 2 stars. Great Value. - Anonymous
We needed a relaxing beach holiday in a comfortable hotel but didn't want to have to drive or taxi to restaurants etc. in the evening. This hotel exactly matched our requirements! It is an excellent modern hotel with great rooms and service. We had a superior room with sea view on the 7th floor which had a wonderful view of the Penon and sea front. See my detailed tripadvisor.com review (rspjones) - Richard
We would highly recommend the Masia Durba hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and nothing was to much trouble for the staff. The hotel was very peaceful and sits in a beautiful setting. To end the day there was nothing nicer than sitting in the lounge area with a log fire burning. - Anonymous
Silence, far away of city - Aleksey

1st yr peaches pull off all fruit?
The peaches were in 15 gallon pots. Went in in October. My Early Treat already has some good size ones on it (I thinned it down to just six). Fruits on the others are still small enough to justify pulling off.
I am planning to pick off all the fruit on my bare root trees.
Not sure about the Mullberry though.
Also, any natural way to fight peach leaf curl?
Much thanks to the good folks on this forum for all the help to this point.
Peaches are somewhat unique. Many fruit trees are prone to "stall" easily. I've sometimes had difficulty sizing up apple and plum trees, at least difficulty sizing them up very fast.
I've found peaches are different. If they are planted in well drained soil (or a raised planting) mulched generously, and sprayed for leaf curl, they grow like a weed regardless of abuse. You can do all kinds of things to them you'd never consider doing to a young apple. Prune them aggressively multiple times through the summer, forgo irrigation during drought, let them bear fruit as soon as they want. They will still put on generous growth and don't slow down.
I'd let your peach tree fruit if it wants. Just thin the fruits to about 1 per 12" of branch space so they don't excessively pull down the new forming scaffolds.
I can't imagine much reason to thin fruits on mulberry, unless the tree seems to be in trouble for some reason.
The fruits probably won't weigh down branches a whole lot. And those trees grow fast that setting it back would seem insignificant.
Actually, I have some newly grafted scion on my formerly-fruitless mulberry and they look like they will set fruit. I will let them, even though they were just grafted. My only fear is a big crow landing on them to eat the berries and snapping off the grafts.

3-Day Italy Trip: Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the 3-Day Italy Trip: Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Wonderful! Had three amazing days on this tour. Loved every second!
It was wonderful having someone else drive and make all of the arrangements. We enjoyed our tour guides. l The only think I would have changed is to have the guide explain some things about the drive from Rome to Naples. He did mention the Appian way, but we would have liked more narrative along the way.
This tour was absolutely amazing - extremely professional and knowledgeable tour guides, fabulous hospitality from Hotel Michelangelo (their 3-course dinners are incredible)! So many highlights and memories - and excellent value for money!
This tour was amazing!
Fabulous experience!!! Well organized, timely departures and good quality accomodations and meals. Ornella was a wonderful guide.
was awesome... in every way
This tour i would highly recommend. Guides were great in Pompeii and Capri and the hotel was beautiful.
This tour was amazing!
We thoroughly enjoyed this side trip from Rome! The accommodation was superb - meals were included and they were awesome! Nice balance of free time and guided tours. The tour guides changed with the different areas visited - all were very knowledgeable, and passionate about their area. The scenery was spectacular (of course!). We definitely recommend this tour!
Great! They did not get the beds at the hotel right .
This trip exceeded my expectations. The tours were great, the hotel was at a perfect location and absolutely beautiful.
FAntastic. Will return to Sorrento for a holiday
We had a wonderful time. We'd been waiting many years to see Pompeii and can now tick it off our bucket list. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, had a sense of humour and made our day very worthwhile. We took the hotel upgrade in Sorrento and had a fabulous experience. Our room and the food seemed 5 star. The view beyond gorgeous.
Due to choppy seas we didn't see the Blue Grotto in Capri. The island was over crowded and unless you want to spend your time shopping, I would recommend giving Capri a pass. Our guide there was wonderful in every possible way.
My daughter was feeling very ill on the bus ride back to Rome and the bus driver and our guide were both warm and compassionate and made the drive as good as possible.
We would definitely use Viator Tours the next time we are in Italy.
Viator tours are very well organized. The only experience that wasn't necessary was the tour through Naples. That was very ordinary...would be better spending more time in Pompeii.
Naples was a bit of a disappointment did not see much, Pompeii was great, Sorrento and Capri fantastic would love to go again.

Good god, it's been a bad year at the cinema. It's not so much that there've been a lot of awful films, although of course there have. It's more that there have been a lot of deeply average ones, and very little greatness to share around. Even the better end of the scale, it's not quite scratched the right itch for us: as good as, say, "Beginners" or "Win Win" or "Midnight in Paris" are, they don't quite get the synapses firing in the way that truly great cinema does. It's the kind of thing that the crime flick has always done well -- there's a reason that the Cahiers du Cinema crowd worshiped early American genre pictures, for example, but t...Read More »

Why read erotic fiction?Many psychological studies have shown that while men are aroused by what they see, women get turned on by what they imagine. And while men are generally content with the basic ins and outs of the sex act, women prefer a story line with their eroticism to straight porn. Erotic fiction thus gives women the chance to read, imagine and fantasise without being intimidated or sidelined by the mostly male oriented pornography.The classicsPorn on the page has been available since, at least, Ancient Rome and Greece, but I wouldn't recommend reaching for the Ovid if you want to get ready for action.Ones that do need mentioning though are Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, aka Fanny Hill by John Cleland, Kama Sutra by Vatsayana (which of course doubles as a sex manual) and Song of Songs from the Bible.Modern classicsYou can read D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover in public and at most you might see one or two people smirk. I wouldn't recommend doing the same with The Story of O (which we'll talk about later) or Emmanuelle. Hint, both very pervy French chronicles. You'll probably get away with Anne Rice's (writing as A. N. Roquelaure) Sleeping Beauty series which is very unfairytale like if, and that's a big IF, you can manage your blushing.A good place to start If you can't see yourself buying sex books at your local Exclusive Books store, then perhaps you should try "normal' books with plenty of hot sex scenes in them first. I'd suggest Jilly Cooper's Riders series – Rupert Campbell Black is hot and horrible, Nicholson Baker's Vox, the hilarious Portnoy's Complaint, Fanny: Being the True History of the Adventures of Fanny Hackabout-Jones by Erica Jong, and Lace and Lace II (although the scene with the goldfish will forever freak me out).And according to Twitter? The Clan of the Cave Bear series (Book 3 especially), Anne Rice's The Mayfair Witches trilogy, Eric van Lustbader's "Ninja, and Danielle Stee'sl - Fine Things, to mention but a few.The romance-erotica crossoverWomen have been reading Mills & Boon books for decades to help them, fantasies and enhance their sex lives. In fact, lots of different research has shown that women who read romance novels have more sex and better sex than their high-brow literary counterparts. Romance publishers have now brought out specific series for erotic fiction. Look out for titles under Blaze, Avon Red Romance and for writers such as Joanna Lindsey (Prisoner of my Desire was wicked and awesome) and Emma Holly. Paranormal eroticaTwilight doesn't count here. Sure it was fraught with sexual tension and drove many a woman/ girl crazy with lust, but it doesn't count as erotica when the first sex scene is 1000pgs in. J.R Ward knows what she's doing though, combining a cool story with long, involved and very descriptive sex scenes.Laurell K. Hamilton and Louisa Burton are also two smoking hot writers. The characters are supernatural with supernatural abilities under the covers too. Both writers also like to bring in elements of BDSM and dominant and submissive behaviour. Hell, in Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry series the whole plot revolves around getting Merry to have as much sex with as many people with as much wild abandon as possible. Twosomes, group sex, homo-eroticism, spanking, oral sex, two guys, one girl and bondage feature strongly.Real, no-holds barred erotic fiction/ pornographyAnd finally, we come to the real deal. This genre is also hilariously called "one handed reading". Publishers include Ellora's Cave, Nexus, and Black Lace who publish countless erotic fiction titles, some stories are fantastical, some paranormal, some focused on S&M but all of them have one thing in common: lots and lots of very explicit sex.Of course there are single titles such as Wetlands (very fringe – I could only manage about 10 pages) and The Story of O the BDSM classic which was mentioned above. In fact many of the Nexus books base their plots loosely on O's plot (a young woman is imprisoned by her lover in a chateaux trained to be a sex slave).So happy reading ladies. Just don't say I didn't warn you.And while you're at it, tell us.... do you read erotic fiction? If so, what other reads would recommend to readers wanting to try this genre?

This is a video with the owner of Mannkind who has been developing the inhaled insulin product for a number of years and has a lot of money invested in it's development and he and others are optimistic about FDA approval. If it does get approved, then in march in the folks with either their product or one they can modify so it collect data.
I have reported on several inhalers in the past and there are links below to check them out. This is huge for the patient to be able to get rid of the needles. $925 Million has been invested from the CEO himself in the development. Other drugs are also in the works to have an "inhaled" formulation like the one mentioned below for migraines. Whether or not they have their own or possibly look at one of the inhaler companies listed here, you can bet in time the product will create a data trail.
I have spoken with Cambridge on several occasions and they keep me updated on what they have in the works and they do create drug delivery solutions for many pharma companies.
These are just a few I have reported on and there's also the one from the government project that is GPS unit in an inhaler and those folks should perhaps work with the commercial inhaler companies, you think? BD
Dr. Alfred Mann, CEO of Mannkind Corp has developed an inhaled form of insulin, which the FDA is expected to decide on approval later this month. The product, called Afrezza, would be a major breakthrough in diabetes care as it would greatly reduce the need for needles.

Claudia è stata solo poco tempo,purtroppo...è una ragazza davvero educata,molto puntuale e precisa.Dopo il check out ho trovato lo studio pulitissimo e in ordine,è assolutamente raccomandabile.
Everything about the booking and the stay was fine and the booking went easily. Claudia was a very friendly and easy-going guest. I would be very pleased to welcome Claudia back to Berlin any time. Thank you :-)
This was a great airbnb experience and we definitely recommend Claudia. She was a great guest. She was great in communicating with us about when to meet and we had no trouble meeting her. She was super friendly, but also totally gave us our space.
Overall, the trip was a blast and mostly because we had a great time with Claudia. Thanks, Claudia!
