It had been nearly a month. Classes re-started, Will recommenced working and Emma returned to New York for a week to finish some errands before moving definitively to Lima.
'We can wait', he had said the first day of the 2011. And they had; she hadn´t been ready; curious thing for Emma, because it wasn´t the first time they would sleep together. But it was the first time they would make love and she wanted to be special, different from her past relationships. This was Will. She wanted fireworks, the Earth to tremble underneath them, her stomach to ache with pleasure, to cry his name out loud while rocking together.
"Wanna come over tonight?", the invitation left her mouth artlessly; she had missed him. She had missed his cuddles at night, his seductive fingers tracing patters across her thighs, his sweet voice humming on her ear seconds before she felt asleep. She had missed having him after destiny (and themselves) had turned them apart.
"Are you sure? Maybe you´re tired… I could see you tomorrow", his voice was kind on the speaker.
"You don´t want to come?" Emma played hurt and he chuckled.
"You know I do. I missed you", the words sounded like a lullaby, causing Emma to sigh.
"I missed you too", both sensed each other smiling on the other line, "Dinner´s at 7, I´ll expect you at 6.30", she faked an authoritative tone.
"Yes, Ma´am".
Looking at her eyes later that night fulfilled Will´s deepest yearning. He could stare at her doe eyes forever; even back when she was a young girl, she had always revealed honesty and care; now a grownup woman, yet when everything between them had been concealed, he had discerned a hint of the girl she was.
"It was delicious, Em", he complemented her cooking while helping her with the dishes, "I didn´t know you could cook"
"I´ve been bored to death these past weeks… ", she giggled washing the dirty plates, "Until I get a job here, I'll cook for you"
"Leave those; we can do them later", he muttered on the shell of her ear, curling his arms around her waist.
She flipped her head to met his gaze, "Would you stay tonight?", she questioned quietly, the real meaning of her words readable on every feature of hers.
His face buried in her neck, placing cheeky kisses there, eliciting a sigh out of her, "I don´t mind waiting, Em"
"Liar", she breathed, "You want me; how much longer are you gonna wait?"
Suddenly he stopped, and spun her around, his hazel eyes hooded, fathoming her mysterious words, "I want you. I want to undress you", she gulped, "I want to touch you, make your head spin; I want to feel you around me, I want you to let yourself go. But I´ll wait. I´ll wait all the time you need. We don´t have to do anything you´re not ready for"
"I don´t wanna wait any longer", she said and his hips pressed on her. She was trapped between him and the sink, "I don´t wanna lose another minute with you"
Her lips landed on his, not waiting for him to respond, and her tongue slid in him, exploring his mouth, which he parted against hers, and his flesh run across hers.
His well built arms lifted her up from her waist; she giggled when she almost blundered off his embrace, "Don´t let me go", her womanly legs wrapped around his hips, while his palms cup her behind to keep her steady.
"Never", he smiled and carried her to her bedroom, laying her down on her back; the two bodies plunged in the mattress, after his weight rested on top of her, "You´re beautiful, Emma".
Her legs shunted aside, welcoming between them, "You´re the most gorgeous man I´ve ever seen", she confessed; she had never complimented men before.
His mouth attacked hers; his hands wondered round her sides, attempting to memorize every single marked rib of her torso. Her lower abdomen tickled when he rubbed against her, her chest raised, her ankle brushed his calves. Subtle signs of the burning desire building inside them betrayed them. There veil of ignominy had disappeared between them.
Hands roam the dressed bodies; her pants humidifying his lips, "Will…", she whispered when his hands cup her breasts, his thumb pinched her nipples, "I-", his groin pressed on her center, her now naked thighs met the warm air when her skirt could only lift up.
"Let me make you see the stars", his voice was husky, his erection palpable; Emma shivered and nodded, her eyes widened, her lips were dry. Will nipped her bottom lip, while his hand went south, to her abdomen and sneaked beneath her pencil skirt. A gasp flew off her lungs and his gape locked with Emma´s, wondering if she was actually ready. He was; desperately. Let me fix you. A silent plead casted his eyes.
Her licked lips articulated the words his ears were forlorn to listen, "Touch me, Will"
And he did; his fingers found the lace of her panties. She was already wet, and her hip bucked up on him, just like that night on the pier; only this time, there was so much more to give and risk, "Does it feel good?", he questioned when she bit her lip; she nodded, "Don´t hold back"
"S-sorry… F-force of habit", she mocked breathing choppily, "Touch me, please"
"Am I", he grinned and their eyes deadlocked. His fingers moved across her folds lingering on her heated flesh, they both wanted, and they were both ready.
She gently grasped his wrist, "Undress me, touch me"; his bare chest was exposed when she lifted his shirt above his head and tossed it on the floor. She kissed his pecs, his shoulders, feeling his muscles constrict under her patting. Her slender fingers explored his upper body, pausing after every inch left behind; something she had never done before.
Obeying her previous plea, Will unbuttoned her cardigan, revealing there was nothing underneath it, except for a black lace bra. He kissed her collarbone and down through the valley of her breasts. "You´re beautiful", he mumbled hotly against her creamy skin as her back arched by the warm kisses he planted on her.
The red pencil skirt shrouded her waist; his pants smothered his bulked desire. She flew his of his pants; he did the same with her skirt. Boxer and panties rubbed together; her wetness reached his underwear and he felt it, groaning into her mouth as pressing harder on her core. She whined softly, "Oh…", and licked her lip, "Will…", his name escaping her lungs was velvet to his ears.
"Say it again", he was covetous paddling their dressed sexes together; he wanted to hear her again, to make her cry in pleasure, to see her writhe below him. Her breathing was labored, heavy, gruffly sensual; "Don´t hold back, Em"
"I´m not", she panted moving on his accord, shoving herself up to meet him, "I don´t wanna let go yet".
"Let go", he grunted moving faster, pushing on her. Not a moment was gone when Emma convulsed underneath him; a solitary whine break out when she came down her peak. Her cheeks were flushing red, and they remained like that when her panties were removed. "You´re breathtaking", he whispered as his fingers trailed down her eager flesh.
Emma gasped feeling herself taken by sensations all over again; she watched him, his gaze was edgy, darkened and she climbed on top of him, getting rid of his boxers as doing so. She straddled him and a deep sigh was elicited from both when nudity was pressed together.
When desire and devotion was that unstated and yet so palpable it could be easy to succumb in selfishness. But that feeling was bygone and long-lasting moments, tinted with altruism was all they would share from that day.
She pushed down on him, letting his arms sneak to her back and draw patterns on her freckled skin. A huff escaped her throat when Will´s hips moved forward to meet her drives. He stared at her, biting her lower lip, struggling with the inevitable orgasm building inside her; there was so much to give to the skinny Emma, so much she deserves. "Don´t fight it, Em", he begged before kissing her with passion; their mouths opening wider attempting to be even closer. His strong hands guided the lower part of her body on him again, longing to give his lover the most mind blowing experience of her life. He owned her that much.
And then his efforts to please her, ceased. Scooping her by her bottom, he gently laid her on the mattress.
When she was in control, she could keep it low, she could fight with the heated sensations hitting her inner muscles, she could suffocate her moans by burring her face in his neck. But not that night; Will´s weight covered Emma's little frame, they moved with perfect accord, rocking together intensely, in a steady mantra. She embraced him, bringing him closer, purring his name.
"W-Will", he trusted deeper inside her, "Oh, God"
"I love you", his voice was husky and he groaned when feeling her muscles tighten around him. His eyes widened, his movements stopped.
A weak sly crossed her face, "Does it feel good?"; their mouths smashed together; he felt his heart would explode. His hips rotated against her as the pressure of her inner muscles increased and loosened at Emma´s leisure. She felt herself burst; his movements were firm, devoted, painfully committed.
"Emma… Oh, my Emma", he breathed hotly on her mouth every time their bodies collided and her calculated pressure sent him to the stars. His fingers collected her wild curls, keeping her gazes fixed, observing each other crammed with ardor, intensity and keenness, "Yo-you´re so tight"; his thrusts became loitered, her hips caught his cadence, waving with passion.
"Will!", his name left her lips in a moan when her calves pushed him deeper inside her and their hipbones rubbed together, "I´m- oh God-" she babbled almost incoherently; her back arched, like that might help herself to last longer, but her hands seemed to have a mind on their own and grasped his shoulders, goading him to continue.
He felt her; he felt her coming close by the way she writhed bellow him, by the way her tongue thrashed with his and soon the air was not enough and she had to cry among his lips.
She felt him close as well; he was throbbing inside her, panting hoarsely against her, a thin layer of sweat covered his upper lip. Soon his hand spooned her hips, snaking around them, slightly lifting her up to meet her vigorous pumps. Her head tilted aside when he hit her g-spot and she whimpered, holding onto him like there was no tomorrow. Desperate was the right word to describe the way Will coaxed her to extract the most exquisite, sacred and private sounds out of her. Their bodies moved in one strong, sleek cadence. The bed creaked; skin rubbed; whimpers and heavy pants filled the room; Emma felt herself tighter and he felt her as well.
"Emma..", he groaned her name while driving deeper in her, the heat of her body made his head spin.
Her legs contract around him, her mouth captured his lower lip, every patch of her skin burned, tickled and expanded when their hips collided and he pushed her to the edge of climax. Her breathing was jagged against him and when holding any longer was impossible, Emma´s cry came out tinted with ecstasy, emotion and love. Will´s abdomen narrowed and her name escaped his lungs gutturally when spilling in her.
She felt the warmth of him and his release inside her, his breathing hot against her mouth, his body now relaxed above her.
"W-Will…", she puffed holding him close, "I´d never…"
"I know…", he was as exhausted as her, "Me neither…". Will intended to pull away, but she didn´t allow it.
"Stay", the room smelled like them, like their lovemaking. Nothing had ever smelled sweeter to her.
"Always", he grinned letting his body rest between her legs once more. His fingers roamed across her thighs, hips, ribcage, up to her cheeks.
The two lovers remained there, tangled; their heated sexes deliciously touching, still throbbing, amazed by new discovers their eyes made when staring at each other.
"I love you", they found themselves saying together. An equal smile lined their lips.
It was probably the longest beheld metamorphosis. But in the end, they both became the most beautiful butterflies of their own kind. Resentment gave place to forgiveness, castles in the air to reality, time to present, denial to harmony, fear to acceptance, perfection to imperfections; the path to where they were had been thorny, but in the end, they just knew their story would be one of a kind, just like them.
That´s it! I hope you enjoyed this fic as much as I enjoyed writing it! I wanna thank everyone of you for your reviews, pms and encouraging words.
And of course thanks to Taylor, for helping me editing and correcting every chapter!
A new fic will be published in the next days… probably a multi-chapter, but not as long as this one, so I hope you read it and tell me what you think!
Until next time!

FITNESS: A Way of Life A Physical Therapist's Perspective American Physical Therapy Association Fitness: A Way of Life What is being "fit"? W e would all like to be physically fit, but how many of us know what "fit" really means? Does playing softball twice a week make us fit? Or swimming at the neighborhood pool? Or walking to and from work? What amount of activity is enough to keep us fit? Do we all need to follow the same fitness program or are we all different? Physical therapists answer these kinds of ques- tions all the time. Realizing that each individual is unique, physical therapists have developed specific methods to determine how fit you are, and what types of activities your optimum level of fitness.

A person who is physically fit has a properly aligned body structure; flexible and strong muscles; an efficient heart and healthy lungs; a good ratio of body fat to lean body mass; and good balance. Note that the above definition does not say, "A person who is fit can run X amount of miles in X minutes." Being fit is just that—a state of being. What activities you choose to perform to achieve and maintain a state of fitness are really up to you! . . . And, as an added bonus, physical fitness also contributes to mental fitness. There's nothing like being in tip-top shape to give you a positive out- look on life. 2 3 Target Heart Rate To estimate your target heart rate, you must first determine your maximum heart rate. This is done by subtracting your age from 220. If a check-up by your physician indicates no prob- lems, your target heart rate is 60 to 80 percent of your maximum rate. For example: If you are 20 years old, your maximum heart rate is 200. Your target heart rate is 60 to 80 percent of 200, or 120 to 160 beats per minute. You can monitor your target heart rate by find- ing your pulse—either lay your fingertips on the palm side of your wrist or lightly against the side of your voice box—and count the pulse for 15 seconds; then multiply this number by four to get your pulse rate in beats per minute. As you continue to exercise regularly, you will find that it takes more effort to reach your target heart rate. This is a good sign and means that your heart and lungs are getting stronger and that your aerobic capacity is improving. Resting Heart Rate Another clear indicator of improved aerobic fit- looking at your head, neck, shoulders, spine, ness is your resting heart rate.

And don't be discouraged if you gain a few pounds when you begin your fitness program— the extra weight means you're building up your muscles as you lose the fat! Body Balance A physical therapist will check your balance by having you stand, with your eyes closed, on one leg for a brief period of time, then on the other. Although this seems a simple test, it may indicate if you have a neurological (nervous system) problem. Neurological testing evaluates the balance controlled by your brain. Even a minor balance problem may place you at risk for possible injury. If a problem is identi- fied, your therapist may give you some exercise tips that will help to improve your balance. 6 7 Muscular Strength Additional Factors that n addition to being flexible, your muscles Affect Fitness I should be able to exert force and control movement.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 4/12/12
The NHL has fined Nashville defenseman Shea Weber $2,500 for slamming Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg's head against the glass at the end of Game 1. Weber was assessed a minor penalty for roughing, and the NHL announced the fine Thursday while the Predators were practicing. The league noted the fine was the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Brendan Shanahan, the NHL's chief disciplinarian, says it was a reckless and reactionary play with Weber throwing a glancing punch before shoving Zetterberg's head into the glass. Shanahan says league officials were told Zetterberg did not suffer an apparent injury and is expected to play Friday in Game 2. The NHL notes the play will be a factor if Weber is involved in any further incidents in the postseason.

In this six-session companion study guide to the Go Fish DVD, Andy Stanley explores the motivation behind sharing our faith. Discover Gods heart for those who dont know Him and the role that we can play in introducing others to Him. Along the way you will be equipped with tools that will help you make sharing your faith a natural part of your life.
This study guide is complete with a leaders guide and six lessons, including conversation-starting exercises, discussion questions, and application steps.

Andy Stanley, senior pastor of three North Point Ministries campuses, with a cumulative congregation of more than twenty thousand, has had countless conversations with everyday Christians who struggle to share their faith with confidence and ease. Though not everyone has "the gift," evangelism is something were each called to.

Gran Luchito Poached Egg & Avocado on Sourdough Toast
- Nothing complicated here…simply toast your sourdough slices and spread with a generous layer of Gran Luchito smoked chilli mayo (and butter if you're feeling naughty!).
- Poach your eggs in boiling water (carefully break the eggs from as low a height as possible into water which is close to boiling, but not bubbling. Add a small glug of white wine vinegar to help keep the white from breaking up). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Smash or slice the avocado and put onto toast. Top with poached egg, salt & pepper.

Testimony in Jessica Tata trial focuses on her past setting fires
By Brian Rogers | November 14, 2012 | Updated: November 14, 2012 6:46pm
Photo By Johnny Hanson/MBIHome day care operator Jessica Tata stands before her verdict at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012, in Houston. Tata was convicted of murder in the death of 16-month-old Elias Castillo, one of four children who died in a fire at her home day care after she left them alone with hot oil on the stove while she shopped at Target. (AP Photo/Houston Chronicle, Johnny Hanson)
Those who know Jessica Tata - teachers, principals and friends - painted a picture Wednesday of an "intimidating" high school student who set fires and ignored discipline 10 years ago as the punishment phase of the day care operator's murder trial continued in its second day.
Tata was convicted Tuesday of felony murder for leaving seven toddlers unsupervised to go shopping as a fire destroyed her west Houston home day care, killing four children last year.
After the verdict, witnesses testified that Tata set two bathroom fires in 2002 at Taylor High School in Katy in retaliation for being punished because she cursed at a teacher. The incident led to Tata admitting to delinquent conduct in a plea agreement.
Administrators and a friend testified she was suspended several times before and after setting the small fires for myriad infractions.
State officials also testified Wednesday that Tata lied on her application for a home day care license, omitting her run-ins with the law as a juvenile.
She also was dropped from a state-run day care food subsidy program after an investigator twice went to her business but found no one home at the posted lunch hours.
Prosecutors are expected to ask jurors to sentence Tata to life in prison for the death of 16-month-old Elias Castillo, for which she was convicted. They can also take her to trial again, for the deaths of three other children.
Tata's defense team is expected to call her mother and other family members to tell the jury that her past infractions were youthful indiscretions, and that she worked hard at getting her day care business off the ground. She was 22 when the fire destroyed her day care on Feb. 24, 2011. Prosecutors said she left a pot of oil on a hot burner and went to a nearby Target as the toddlers slept. That oil, they said, started the blaze.
Her attorney, Mike DeGeurin, told jurors her refrigerator, which had recently been repaired, was missing a safety cutoff switch, which could have caused the fire.
The punishment phase, in state District Judge Marc Brown's court, could last two weeks.

July 10, 2012 10:56 by Reuters
Banque Saudi Fransi , the lender part-owned by Credit Agricole, reported a 2-percent decline in quarterly profits on Monday, missing forecasts, due to higher operational costs.
The bank made second-quarter net profit of 757 million riyals ($201.9 million) in the three months to June 30, down from 773 million riyals in the same period a year earlier.
Analysts surveyed by Reuters had forecast, on average, profit of 806.50 million riyals.
"The reason for the decline in net income during the second quarter compared to the year earlier is the higher operating costs," the bank said in a statement to the Saudi bourse.
Total operating profit for the period rose 10.3 percent to 1.28 billion riyals from 1.16 billion a year-ago, it said.
Profits from special commissions were up 7 percent to 844 million riyals in the quarter, from 789 million riyals last year.
Loans and advances increased 18.8 percent to 101 billion riyals, from 85 billion riyals a year earlier, while customer deposits advanced 9 percent to 109 billion riyals.
Saudi Fransi, the kingdom's fifth largest bank by market capitalization priced a $750 million five-year Islamic bond in May, attracting orders worth $4 billion.
Dollar-denominated bonds from Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, come to market relatively infrequently, and attract substantial demand when they do. Saudi Electricity's $1.75 billion sukuk earlier this year received orders in excess of $15 billion.

The old tractor still runs, but because the fuel gauge is busted, you have to keep checking to make sure it has enough fuel to continue working. And whether you realize it or not, your cows function... Read More

Re: The Timeless and Sacred

- Re: The Timeless and Sacred
[ We live in a time in history where what you suggest should be more
than obvious. We create new things. Do they come from "the mind" ? Or
is this timeless sacred constant instead some universal resource we tap
in to. ]
With respect, we do not live in a time of history; we live now. Today
will not be history until tomorrow. We only ever live now. I did live in
the now in past times, but those times are now history; 1938 to 2009
does not exist. But I remember it well.
As to `obvious' then it is not possible to know what is or what
is not obvious to any living critter other than oneself. Is vision
obvious to a blind person? Is sound obvious to somebody born deaf? Is
this or that chess move obvious to all chess players? All I know is
what I have experienced throughout life; both on earth and in the
timeless realm. And that is all. I don't know anything about pre
1938 and I don't know anything about tomorrow. I am aware of a lot
of claims regarding pre 1938, but I was not there to know it. So,
history is hearsay, not my experience of life.
On earth we find two kinds of things. Those issued forth by man, like
motor cars, houses, religions and myths, superstitions; and we find
those things that are not issued forth the by man, such as tress,
rivers, stars, the physical universe and the timeless realm, etc. There
is not one thing in human civilisations which did not come from the
mind of man. Wheels, roads, hamlets, towns, cities, factories, pens,
paper, language, all began as ideas in the human mind. It is not
difficult to distinguish as to what is man made and what isn't.
As an extant living conscious phenomenon I am a part of the natural
order, not man made things. I am LIFE in this formation. I am not a cat
or a dog type life. I have no idea whatsoever what it is like to be cat
or dog type life here; all I can judge by is what I see and what I have
learned of them by way of experience. They seem fine to me. Never once
have I ever had any problems with them. But I have had a lot of fun and
good times with them, and I have sometimes cried when they have gone.
But, life goes on and we cannot spend the day weeping over our personal
loss of something we loved or had. Life here is too short to weep and
there is too much to do.
One thing which I have never had which so many people in the USA and
the Middle East seem to have is RELIGION. Man invents and writes
religions and all the gods and demons thereof. There have been thousands
of them. I don't want them, don't need them. I like to walk
without a crutch and I like my mind free of drugs. But these things do
not exist in reality and the natural order. They are just spooks of the
mind implanted into people for socio-political reasons by power mongers.
I don't want them. I like the natural things just as they are. But
there are many things made by man which I do like very much. Probably
the best of which is music (and beer). And there are many things made
by man which I detest. And none more so than religions; because they
mess with the mind of man. Given the chance I would destroy them all.
But I cannot do that. But I will have a good go at it whilst the chance
exists. What is obvious to one might not be obvious to all YET.
It is obvious to me that I am on this world, but not of it. I know
where I came from; and I can remember it well. Is it obvious to
everybody? It does not seem to be the case does it. We live and learn.
Hang in there. One day, for you, this world will not be there. Wait and
see what you get then, if anything. I left it behind once, and it was
good. But it was good to get back here too. I have no WANT to exist in
the Timeless Realm, I like it here best; for here I am free. But here
can only last for a lifetime. That is fine by me. Hope you are happy
too. Grab the day, for it will never come back again. Only the timeless
cannot be destroyed. It does not come and go. Time and change is built
upon the foundation of no time and no change. Once upon a time there
was a time when there was no time; and I was there, like a child in awe
of a master work. I am an extension of I AM. You see.
Have a nice day. Try not kill anything. Life is sacred.

Posted: Jan. 21, 2005 The Phoenix Suns acquired veteran swingman Jim Jackson and a 2005 second-round draft pick today from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for guard Casey Jacobsen, forward/center Maciej Lampe and rookie forward Jackson Vroman. "Jim Jackson adds significant depth to our roster and should significantly increase our bench productivity. He is a savvy vet whose game fits our system well," said Suns President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo. Jackson, who is currently in his 13th NBA season, owns career averages of 15.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 805 games (646 starts) with 11 teams (Dallas, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Golden State, Portland, Atlanta, Cleveland, Miami, Sacramento, Houston and New Orleans).

We had a wonderful time in Sturgeon Bay during our four day trip. White Lace Inn gets our stamp of approval because the value for what you receive is greater than what you would receive anywhere else. The breakfast was unique and well done. The grounds are taken care of and provide a peaceful setting. The rooms are cleaned up every day. Definitely take a look at staying here if you are looking for a good and reasonable place to stay for a few days!

Always love the ambience , especially Room 11

I had a wonderful getaway! This place has so much charm and amazing service! Door County is a beautiful place and we plan on going back! I recommend the White Lace Inn to anyone staying in the area!

Almost a week stay. Pros: comfortable bed with top line bedding. New remodel really looked good. Big jacuzzi tub. Cons: difficult and steep spiral stair - not disclosed on site. Tub timer defective, tub not cleaned after first use. No countertops in bathroom. Will not repeat.

Wow, what a place! Great location, my Wife and I went on romantic walks right from our room to the boardwalk by the bay. Our night stay was so romantic that we were able to let go of our daily lives just for one day! Awsome!

This was our second stay at White Lace Inn. We chose a different room for this visit and it was just as charming as the first room. Both rooms had wood burning fireplaces and it was cool enough at night to take advantage of them. The innkeepers were very friendly and anxious to make sure we enjoyed our visit. My only criticism was the breakfasts that were very high in carbohydrate without much protein. If you like sweets you would love the breakfasts. The overall visit was very nice and relaxing. We will visit again and would recommend this inn.

First time staying at a bed and breakfast...we will definitely be returning to the white lace inn, added the perfect touch of romance to our anniversary celebration

Wonderful location. Beautiful homes. Quiet area, quiet homes. Beautiful landscaping! Would definitely stay there again.
4.4 on April 13, 2015
We stayed here after getting a gift certificate. We stayed for two nights in one of the least expensive rooms in the main house. Breakfast was great and filled us up until supper time. Coffee, tea and cookies are available anytime. It is really nice that you can walk to a lot of shops and eating places in Sturgeon Bay. The bathroom was beautiful. We chose one of the smaller rooms because we spent very little time here during the day, so it was perfect for us.

Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory
This Advisory applies to all residents and users in the Town of Nokomis and is effective:
2:00 pm Monday, June 29, 2015 until further notice.
Pursuant to clause 36(1)(a) of The Environmental Management and Protection Act, 2010 this Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory is issued due to planned system maintenance, and a subsequent depressurization, and therefore the safety of the Town of Nokomis drinking water supply cannot be ensured at all times. Therefore, pursuant to Clause 36(1)(b) of The Environmental Management and Protection Act, 2010, consumers must be notified to:
(a) boil all water, used for drinking purposes, for at least one (1) minute, at a rolling boil, prior to use;
(b) boil water to be used for other activities where it may be ingested, including:
(i) brushing teeth or soaking false teeth;
(ii) washing fruits and vegetables;
(iii) food or drink which will not be subsequently heated; and
(iv) ice cubes;
(c) not use the water for washing dishes, unless the water has been boiled or the dishes are sanitized in another fashion. Washed dishes and utensils can be soaked in a bleach water solution (approximately 2 tablespoons of bleach per gallon or 10 ml of bleach per liter of water) for at least two minutes after being washed to kill any bacteria which may be present.
Note: Do not mix bleach with soaps or detergents.
(d) not drink from any public drinking fountains supplied with water from the public water supply;
(e) ensure that younger children and infants are sponge bathed;
(f) use an alternative water source known to be safe, if they do not wish to boil the water; and
(g) consult with your physician if you have cuts or rashes that are severe before using the water.
Under most circumstances, there is no need to boil water used for other household purposes. Adults, adolescents and older children may shower, bathe or wash using tap water but should avoid swallowing the water. Laundry may be washed in tap water, either by hand or by machine.
This Advisory is effective immediately, and will not be lifted until the water supply is determined to be completely safe.

Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Jan 12, 2010A parking garage attendant and lifelong New York Giants fan finds his life spinning out of control following an altercation with his favorite football player in this darkly comic drama starring Patton Oswalt. For 35-year-old Staten Island native Paul Aufiero (Oswalt), sports are a religion. Paul still lives with his mother, he's the self-proclaimed "world's biggest New York Giants fan," and he spends most of his spare time calling in to the local sports radio station 760 "The Zone," where he can frequently be heard bickering with his contentious on-air nemesis Philadelphia Phil (Michael Rapaport), a fervent Eagles fan. Berated by his family for his obsessive love of sports, Paul retorts that they simply cannot appreciate the responsibility that goes with being the New York Giants' number one fan. One night, Paul and his best friend, Sal (Kevin Corrigan), spot Giants linebacker Quantrell Bishop (Jonathan Hamm) at a local gas station and impulsively follow his SUV to a Manhattan strip club. Once inside, the two friends bask quietly in the presence of football greatness before cautiously approaching their idol. When things don't go as planned and Paul winds up in the hospital, the resulting media frenzy finds him questioning everything he believes in just as his beloved team begins preparing for a late-season showdown with the Eagles.

In my family mourning was not done publicly. Therefore, I, as a child, assumed it was not done at all. Both sets of grandparents died and I recall hidden tears, the quick turn away to look out a window, the closing of a door. This mysterious behavior seemed to commence with the announcement of death and end immediately after the funeral. Of course, if mourning is private, almost secretive as though shameful, there can be no comforting. Now I discover that, if honest emotion is shared, t … [Read more...]

decrypt(input, output);
If I use a the following code, I run into the
std::runtime_error where output is in error state.
std::ifstream input("foo.enc", std::ios::binary);
std::stringstream output(std::ios::binary);
decrypt(input, output);
If I remove the
std::ios::binary the decrypt function completes without error, but I end up with CR,CR,LF as line endings.
I am using VS2008 and have not yet tested the code on gcc. Is this the way it supposed to behave or is MS's implementation of
std::stringstream broken?
Any ideas how I can get the contents into a
std::stringstream in the proper format? I tried putting the contents into a
std::string and then using
write() and it also had the same result.
