The Audience - Liam's IntitiationbyMrWolfe2849©
"I'm cumming!" Liam squealed pathetically.
He stretched his legs, arched his back, moaned in an almost effeminate way, his skinny, boyish body shuddering and jerking as his long, thin penis twitched, spattering his body irregularly with hot, creamy cum.
"That's it you naughty little slave boy!" drawled the woman on the phoneline cruelly, "Cum for me like the little bitch you are!" she cackled. Liam closed his eyes and moaned, relieved, fulfilled.
"Thank you mistress" shuddered Liam down the phone to her, grinning to himself.
"Good boy, now you call me again any other time you struggle to sleep and I'll spank that little bitch ass of yours and force you to shoot your load again"
Liam smiled, moaning as he rubbed his hot cum into his sated body. With a click he ended the call, hanging up on his favourite Domme. Or at least, his favourite Phone sex number.
He stumbled through to the bathroom to wipe himself clean, the other students were home for the summer and he had the crumbling, cheap little apartment to himself. Good thing his friends from college were gone, he thought, he couldn't bear the thought of them overhearing him while he phoned up one of those perverted little numbers.
Liam smiled contentedly to himself as he brushed his teeth in the mirror. He was short for his age. At 20 he would have thought he'd have been pretty much fully grown, and at 5'3 he was clearly doomed to being pretty short. He was scrawny, with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. Little to no hair was on his body and that which was was soft, fuzzy and due to how blond it was it was barely visible. Through the hot nights Liam wore only a thin pair of boxers, which hung loosely from his scrawny hip bones. He was still feeling contented at the warm, relieving way he'd emptied his balls when he laid his head against the pillow, wrapped himself up, and fell asleep.
Liam woke up wearing the same pair of boxers he had gone to sleep in, but he wasn't in his bed any more. He was drowsy when he woke, and that warm feeling of content was gone. In it's place was a steady, constant chill that raised his hairs on end and made him shiver. He was gagged and chained tightly, his little body stretched, the cold metal chains stretched to their limit accommodating his slender frame as well. Standing on tipped toes, howling terrified through his heavy gag, Liam began to fearfully make sense of his surroundings. How in hell had he gotten here? The last time he had been awake he had been in his own bed, in an empty student flat! Wait, had he left the door open?
No. That couldn't be it. He had phoned up "Esmeralda" the Domme over that sex line, and he always double locked the door before he did that in case the girls from the flat above came down. Their flat had been pretty sociable, and they were liable to try and visit late at night with bottles of cheap alcohol. So if nobody could have gotten in how had he been taken here?
Liam couldn't make sense of it. He prayed it was some kind of silly prank. But just then there was the clang of a heavy door opening, and slamming again, and the sound of footsteps coming towards his cell. They could have been the clopping sound of heels, but they weren't a woman. They were the sound of exceptionally well-polished and expensive looking gentleman's shoes with Cuban heel, and the man who was in them was suited up extravagantly, and he was intensely huge. He towered over Liam as he opened the cell door and, without a word, unchained the shivering boy and hauled him over his shoulders. Liam struggled helplessly, but couldn't escape. The shame shivered into Liam's bones, and the touch of this man's hands against his naked, shivering body somewhat excited Liam, but he was too afraid to show it, or take note of it.
The man carried Liam through to a large, extravagantly decorated, Gothic looking office. In the office sat another well-dressed, stern looking business type. He had rimmed spectacles, a firm face, and he was smoking a cigar while swilling a glass of scotch. He sat in an expansive, black throne, with his heels up on the desk. With his free hand he opened the top button of his shirt, wearing a casual, ascot style cravat. The heavy set man who had brought him in suddenly threw him down to the ground, kicking him behind his legs and laying one crushing hand on his shoulder, forcing the boy to his knees.
"This is the last of them today, Cyril"
"Well, Gareth, we certainly have a show to live up to after that girl..." said Cyril, swilling his scotch and billowing smoke from his cigar.
From this Liam was able to deduce their names, the brute who had brought him in was Gareth, the darker figure in the throne was Cyril, someone who looked to be in charge of the situation. Gareth bent down and ripped the gag from Liam's face.
"What the fuck do you think you're fucking playing at!? Let me go! Who are you!?"
Almost as quickly as Liam had opened his mouth, Cyril shut it. In a sudden fit of anger he launched the lit cigar at Liam's throat, which burned and stung on his neck before falling to the floor.
"Fuck off!" yelled Cyril, in a sudden and angry manner unbefitting of how well-presented he was.
Liam knelt shivering, silenced by fear. Gareth stamped out the lit cigar, and Cyril breathed deeply to calm himself. Liam's two captors looked each other in the eye, before Cyril spoke:
"Why do they never just keep quiet? Do they not understand we have to work to a fucking schedule here? "
"I think Charles gave him too much sedative, it took forever to wake him up."
"That man is a fucking idiot." Hissed Cyril, before looking Liam in the eyes angrily. "I suppose you are wondering why you're here boy."
Liam nodded, quivering in fear, feeling so naked and exposed in just his boxers in front of these suited gentlemen, were they gangsters? After that explosive outburst they looked like they must be Mafiosa.
"Well, let's be frank. We know all about you, little boy. We know all about your midnight phone calls to "Esmerelda" and we have listened in while you have, in the past, pleaded your girlfriends to tie you up and spank you, and we have snickered at you while they told you they were looking for 'real men'. We have gathered information on every dirty google search you have ever made, and from that we know EVERYTHING that gets you off little boy." Cyril smiled, and drank his Scotch, looking out of his window, there were blinds in the way, and Liam couldn't see where the light was coming from, or what lay beyond that window. Cyril continued, "You see boy, I like to think of us as a sort of twisted dating service. It's not that entertaining for our audience to watch people who are truly reluctant. The shrieking and the pleading in that case is far too genuine, the crying is far less erotic and more sort of... pitiful."
Liam shuddered as the meaning of Cyril's words began to sink in.
"So we find little masochists like yourself, and we feed you what is actually your deepest fantasy, and we watch you squirm in high definition, and we get off on that. You see, really, we're not that bad at all" Cyril smirked, walking away from the window and towards Liam. He towered over the near naked, kneeling boy. He lay his scotch glass on the table and took the ice from it.
Liam shrunk in anticipation as Cyril pressed a handful of ice to his nipples, stroking them downward and circling them around his navel, his flat stomach tightening. Cyril's free hand grasped Liam's chin and squeezed his cheeks together like a bunny rabbit, Liam closed his eyes in shame as he began to feel himself hardening. Cyril pressed the melting ice cubes up and into the curve of the boy's belly button, before sliding them down underneath his boxers. Liam breathed in sharply and shivered at the feel of cold ice against his testicles, and Cyril grasped his now firm, hard erection.
"My my, little boy..." hissed Cyril, leaning in to Liam's ear, smirking.
"To me, you really do feel..." Cyril's wet, cold hand stroked up Liam's rock hard cock with what was left of the ice,
" very...very..." Cyril squeezed at the boy's tip, before his fingers slipped off the edge with a squeak,
Liam shivered, tears of shame coming to his eyes. Cyril stood up, and calmly walked back to the window.
"Initiate the boy, then." Said Cyril.
Gareth lifted Liam over his shoulders and carried him out of the room. Cyril stood still at the window, and did not turn back to look while Liam was carried out.
Liam could barely struggle, he knew that Gareth was far too big for him. Gareth marched his way down the long corridor with Liam bouncing up and down over his shoulder as he went.
"Saving your strength are you, boy?"
Smiled Gareth, "I suppose. You're only facing a girl, eh? I mean, what sort of harm could a girl do? Eh? You show that silly bitch, boy!"
Jovial, mocking sarcasm dripped from every word. Gareth was clearly amusing himself. He threw Liam out through the doors, and there was a crowd cheered in front of him. Gareth laughed and slammed shut the iron doors behind Liam, who brushed the damp, cold dirt from his skinny body and stood up.
It was dusk now, and the cold seeped into his skin. He was struck with an incredible shame and embarrassment. He was surrounded on all sides by a huge coliseum of a rich and extravagantly dressed audience, the members of whom smiled and jeered and peered down at him. In the centre was a throne, and above that throne there was a huge, high definition television with Liam on it. He realised that all around him were small, but expensive cameras whirling around and catching a view of him close up. As Liam admired his own coverage on the screen he saw how the cameras were constantly eyeing him up. First his firm buttocks in their boxers, his skinny legs, his scrawny, boyish bare torso, his terrified face. Liam felt a little molested at how these cameras admired his body like an appetising piece of meat. Liam hugged himself, skinny, short and insecure.
Opposite him another set of doors opened, and out of them stepped the most gloriously beautiful and dominant looking woman Liam had ever seen. She was exceptionally tall, at least 6'3 in heeled boots. She had a short skirt on with a belt, on either side of which were sets of handcuffs, and a tightened, Xena warrior princess style of brazier, with voluptuous breasts. She had a bull ring piercing in her nose and a piercing on her lip, blond hair that reached her shoulders, piercing green eyes. Her body was tanned and athletic. She was toned all over, not to the point of looking like a body builder, but she had a great set of abs and far bigger arm and leg muscles than Liam had. Liam quivered in awe of this beautiful, strong, feminine woman. She looked at Liam and smirked, then she looked over Liam, and gave a cheeky wink and a wave to someone behind him.
Liam looked behind him, looking for who this beautiful woman had been waving to, he saw a window with dark blinds in the frame, and though he couldn't see in detail who was behind them, he was pretty sure it was Cyril. By the time he turned back to face her she was already almost in front of him, she charged towards him, she was fast and she lowered her head and speared him in the gut, then lifted the boy up by the waist and held him triumphantly above her shoulders.
Taken aback by her strength, Liam struggled helplessly in her hands but she was far too strong for the scrawny, short little boy. She threw him to the ground and dove on top of him, kissing and scratching at him with her nails, she slapped at his thighs as he whimpered and squirmed. Struggling, he tried to back away from her but she just grabbed him by his hip bones and dragged him back underneath her as she licked and sucked and kissed at him. Liam squealed and shivered. Secretly, he was in ecstasy. He had never dreamed of having such a strong, feminine beauty manhandle him so effortlessly. She grasped him by the throat with one hand and choked him, he kicked air and writhed, both his hands trying to pry her one from him as she pinned him down. She loomed over him, smiling down at him as her free hand stroked and scratched and tickled and teased. Her free hand slid up and down his exposed, soft, naked little body, then slinking in under his boxer shorts to grasp his long, thin, hardening cock. Liam squealed and shivered at her touch, and she held his cock firmly, wiggling her thumb over his tip.
Liam couldn't take it any more, this was his darkest fantasy come true, and he could make no pretence that he wasn't reveling in this humiliating position. He wiggled and wriggled beneath his captor, gyrating his hips and fucking her hand as she choked him, he was spluttering and heaving for breath, horny and pleading.
The crowd whooped and cheered, rising from their seats and standing over the pair as Liam moaned, coming close to orgasm already, his smirking, wicked captor then leaning down to kiss him passionately. Liam's tongue fumbled in her mouth, then tasted something cold and metallic, her barbell tongue piercing, her strong tongue pushed his up to the top of his mouth and captured it there. Liam struggled and moaned, precum glistening on the tip of his cock. His captor left his mouth and moved downward. Liam tried to raise his head from the ground, to look down as she sucked his cock, but her strong hand kept his throat pinned down, so that he could only wriggle around under her superior strength and look up at the thousands of people who admired his humiliation as she slowly, teasingly took all of his cock in her mouth. She sucked hard and slowly raised her mouth, her lips and teeth and tongue, barbell piercing included, slowly raised themselves in tandem up in one solid stroke across his entire cock. Liam squealed and moaned, wriggling,
"Pleeeaase!" he shrieked, precum glistening, his cock throbbing, ready to shoot his load already and...
She stopped. Lifting him up by his arms, then restraining his arms behind him Liam leaped and kicked, trying to get himself off, his tender, twitching cock so close to glorious release, she yanked his boxers down so that he could not stimulate himself against the fabric. Liam blushed in shame as his hard, twitching, purple cock was put on show for all of the audience.
Liam's mistress took one set of handcuffs and snapped them into place, locking Liam's hands behind his back, arms bent right back so that he couldn't protect his ass either. She dragged him by the hair up to the throne. Liam struggled to keep up with her, his little legs and feet stumbling and scrambling to keep him upright. She sat down and threw him over her lap, his boxers at his ankles.
"Please!" was all that Liam could squeal as she pinned him down with one hand, and began to spank his exposed, bare bottom with her spare hand. He kicked air with his bare feet, his toes curling, as she sharply stung his bottom, leaving her red hand prints across his buttocks and thighs. She was cruel, and Liam, already having been denied orgasm once, squirmed on her lap, his hard cock bobbing up and down against her thigh. His captor spanked him again and again, until he began to sob like a child. Tears rolled down his cheeks as she turned his little, boyish bottom bright red with her cruel, sharp, stinging strokes.
"Mercy!" Liam wailed, shuddering, convulsing in his sobs and his shame,
"What will you do for my mercy, little boy?" She crowed
"Anything! Please!" Liam wailed.
"Anything? You mean you've been beaten into submission already? By a GIRL?"
Liam nodded, sobbing, his cheeks flushed with shame as his ass stung painfully and she cackled at him.
"Pathetic little boy" she spat. She ceased her punishment of his pert little bottom and instead grabbed his throbbing, erect cock. She yanked downward on it, milking it like a cow's teat as Liam wailed and sobbed and squirmed and squealed over her lap, moaning and fucking her hand.
"What a little bitch!" She crowed at him, smirking, the audience laughing as she taunts him.
But Liam didn't care. He had longed his whole life to be dominated so cruelly by such a beautiful, strong woman.
He shuddered over her lap, jerking back and forth as she vigorously yanked at his cock, trying to milk it, eventually, he was where he had been before. So close to orgasm, squeaking and shivering, his entire body tensing up, his cock twitching and his entire body shuddering, all his hairs standing on end. For one second he felt as if he could feel EVERYTHING, each and every nerve on his body standing on end, that last second before release, and it lasted forever, because again she denied him his orgasm.
Liam wept again, shrieking and squirming angrily over her lap as she laughed at him, and his helpless, swollen, twitching penis.
She let him calm down for a few seconds, then she threw him to the floor, and took a small handle from her pocket. She pulled it out and it snapped into place as a short, thin, ominous looking cane. Liam lay stomach up on the floor, as his captor loomed over him. She removed one of her boots and pressed her sexy, feminine foot to his stomach, standing victoriously over him, she slid her large but womanly foot up his twitching, desperate body until she reached his face.
"Kiss it, slave" she ordered him.
Liam kissed and sucked at her toes, and as he did she dragged the tip of her cane over his torso, it scratched and tickled him, and he squirmed. She took some string from her pockets, smiling to herself as he sucked on her foot.
"That's enough" she said, before bending down over him and grabbing his twitching, pleading, turgid cock. She wrapped the string and knotted it, in ways Liam had never seen and couldn't understand, suddenly he felt a pinching sensation on his scrotum, as she squeezed his balls together and tied his testicles.
She then flipped him over, and, lifting one of his bare, boyish feet up, she began to spank at the soles of his bare feet with her cane. He wriggled, his tied and tender testicles rubbing against the floor. He sobbed and wailed, until the sole of his foot stung painfully. His captor then swapped and took his other foot, and did the same. Each stroke came down with a swoosh, like a sharp sting with a hot poker on his tender, ticklish bare sole. Liam sobbed, the experience was so erotic, so arousing for him, and each time he came so close to orgasm she would deny him it, and force him onward, his balls and penis swollen and so close to explosion now.
He wanted nothing more than release, but each time she would deny him it. But then she would bring down some other new, erotic idea that made him plead for it more, Liam was utterly helpless and at her mercy. He could do nothing more than beg her pity, plead for sympathy, he felt so pathetic and weak and powerless. Completely under her control, his tiny body shook to the core and facing exhaustion, he wriggled across the ground as she struck his bare soles.
The feeling of being so helpless aroused him, and the feeling of his tied testicles and swollen cock rolling back and forth across the ground nearly brought him to orgasm. But again, with his cock twitching and seconds to exploding, she lifted his helpless, squealing, squirming body from the ground and denied him release.
"Please mistress I'll do anything!" he squealed, the crowd whooping and cheering.
The shame flushed Liam's face but he didn't care, he would have given anything right then and there to be able to release.
"Will you be my little bitch boy forever then?" She asked him. Her voice was fine and sexy, but her tone was serious. Liam knew she meant business.
"Yes miss" he shivered, "Please make me your slave!"
"D'awww, so you submit to me then?" she smiled at him sweetly, "Already?"

Daniel Bentley - in fine form for Southend United
Chris Phillips / / Sport
SOUTHEND United continued their charge up the League Two table with a convincing and commanding 3-0 win against promotion rivals Chesterfield in another entertaining encounter at Roots Hall on Saturday.
Blues brushed the Spireites aside with a determined display which, for around 70 minutes, was up there with their very best of the season so far.
But, in the closing stages of the clash, Chesterfield also showed their quality and that enabled Shrimpers shot-stopper Daniel Bentley to take centre stage with some truly stunning saves.
The young custodian did well to deny Marc Richards from the penalty spot before he somehow tipped a dipping effort from substitute Dan Gardner over the crossbar in breathtaking fashion.
Another fine stop then stopped Gary Roberts scoring right at the death and secured Bentley his 11th clean sheet of the season and means only Oxford United have conceded fewer goals in League Two this term.
Bentley's form has played a huge part in the impressive defensive record and so good was his display at the weekend that the biggest fear could well be just how long the Shrimpers can hold on to someone with such tremendous talent.
At just 20 years of age, Bentley is incredibly young for a goalkeeper and must surely now be attracting interest from teams at a higher level.
Saturday's FA Cup clash with Hull City could well see scouts flocking to the game to see how the Wickford based keeper deals with defending up against a Premier League side.
Recognising Bentley's talent and handing him an extended run in the starting line-up has been one of Phil Brown's best decisions since coming to the club last March.
Up until then, previous Blues boss Paul Sturrock had preferred to play the more experienced Paul Smith between the sticks and that stance is believed to have frustrated the Roots Hall hierarchy who wanted Bentley to be given the opportunity to flourish.
Promoted stories
He has certainly done that this term and so too has midfielder Ryan Leonard who is simply unrecognisable from the player who impressed only in glimpses during his first two seasons with the Shrimpers.
Leonard had previously drifted in and out of the team and had struggled to stay fit playing on the right hand of the midfield.
But, since switching to a more central position, the youngster has been revitalised and can now definitely be considered as one of Blues' most important and influential players.
The midfielder, who has captained the team in their last two games, is starting to display more speed, strength and confidence on a consistent basis and has scored four goals in his last four games.
Joining him on the score-sheet at the weekend was Kevan Hurst, another player currently enjoying the best season of his entire career.
The winger's strike – which opened the scoring against his home-town club on Saturday - made it double figures for the season and his creative qualities are another reason why the Shrimpers have such a strong chance of success this term.
Right now, you sense that complacency could well be Blues' biggest threat, along with any injuries or suspensions that might come their way.
With that in mind, new boy Luke O'Neill having to come off with a thigh problem before half-time was the only real downer during Saturday's clash, especially as Blues' first choice right-back John White still remains on the sidelines with a shoulder problem.
That could well leave the Shrimpers short in that role but Adam Thompson looked solid enough filling in after coming off the bench.
And the centre-back may well have to continue in his less preferred position to help Blues continue their run of good results and their push for promotion and, this coming weekend, an FA Cup upset as well.

How long can Southend United keep Daniel Bentley's form a secret?
Great to see young Dan starting to fufill his potential. The fans love to see a local lad do well and he's applied himself so professionally he fully deserves the plaudits.
'Keepers get better with age so the sky's the limit for him, but there's no rush for him to move on (unless the transfer fee is too much for RM to turn down!).....Jack Butland was spoken about in similar terms and got a big move but seems to have fallen away a bit recently. Dan should bide his time, stay with his boyhood club and help us get promoted in the meantime!!

Welcome Mindy! I was just going to start a thread and call you out haha.
I was always one of the thin ones, until after university. Then I started eating out a lot and working lots at a desk job (instead of Timmies and serving ie not running around all day!). One day I want to be back down, but since we want our kids relatively close together, I don't think it will happen till after.
Yay for sleep! Second day in a row, and I feel SO much better already! I really hope he can keep it up!
Kalynn...I never nested. There's things on my to do list that I was waiting for the nesting kick to start that are STILL waiting to be done! How exciting the first one was born! I hope he/she has a minimal if any stay in the NICU.

The 1973-1974 energy crisis prompted the development of policies to encourage energy conservation and promote alternatives to petroleum. The LDV fleet became a key target, and vehicle efficiency standards known as the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards, were enacted as part of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (P.L. 94-163). A "gas-guzzler" tax followed in 1978 with passage of the Energy Tax Act (ETA; P.L. 95-618).
The 1970s also saw the development of policies to support alternatives to petroleum ranging from synthetic fossil fuels to biofuels. The ETA also introduced an excise tax exemption for gasohol,1 which subsequently was extended and transformed into a tax credit for ethanol, the volumetric ethanol excise tax credit (VEETC), which until recently stood at $0.45 per gallon of ethanol. A tariff was imposed on imported ethanol to foster domestic biofuel production. Both the tax credit and the tariff expired at the end of 2011.
The CAFE credits program for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) was created by the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-94). It provided credit incentives for the manufacture of vehicles that used alcohol or natural gas fuels, either exclusively or as an alternative to gasoline or diesel fuel. This program induced automakers to sell a large number of dual-fuel vehicles capable of running on E85. However, for a variety of reasons including limited availability of E85 retail outlets, the program has not fostered significant use of alternative fuels (DOT-DOE-EPA, 2002). The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct; P.L. 102-486) established an expanded set of incentives and programs to promote alternative fuels and AFVs. They include mandates for AFV use in the federal fleet and certain state and utility fleets, and authorization for federal support of voluntary AFV deployment programs, which were subsequently implemented by DOE through the Clean Cities program.
Among the most recent developments in U.S. energy policy with respect to the LDV sector is the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) instituted as part of the 2005 EPAct (P.L. 109-58). The RFS put in place for the first time a nationwide mandate for use of a fuel other than petroleum. The 2005 EPAct also included expanded incentives for the production and commercialization of a range of AFV technologies. It included tax incentives for AFVs and infrastructure for alternative fuels that are not drop-in fuels. Incentives were provided on a graduated scale to encourage the production of different AFVs (DOE-EERE, 2011a; TIAP, 2012). Metrics related to technical fuel efficiency were used to determine the level of incentives. The incentives were limited to the first 60,000 qualifying vehicles produced by any one automaker.
Tax credits initially were for hybrid-electric, battery-electric, and fuel-cell electric vehicles and for qualified diesel and natural gas LDVs. Numerous modifications have occurred over the years and Congress allowed the tax credits for hybrid electric vehicles, and diesel and natural gas vehicles to expire at the end of 2010. Tax credits for battery-electric motorcycles, three-wheeled electric vehicles, and low-speed neighborhood-electric vehicles expired at the end of 2011, as did a credit for converting conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles to plug-in hybrid or all-electric propulsion systems.
Currently, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act and the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the United States uses a program that extends a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 to buyers of qualified plugin hybrid and battery-electric LDVs. The credit is applicable in the year of the vehicle's purchase. Subsequent legislation limits the credit to the first 200,000 eligible vehicles from each qualified automaker. When that threshold is reached, the tax credit for subsequent vehicles sold is reduced in stages, disappearing completely after six calendar quarters.2 Fuel-cell electric vehicles remain eligible for a federal tax credit of $4,000-$8,000, depending on their fuel economy ratings, but it is scheduled to expire in 2014.
In December 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA; P.L. 110-140) expanded the RFS to target 35 billion gallons of ethanol-equivalent biofuels plus 1 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel by 2022, with life-cycle GHG emissions stipulations designed to foster cellulosic and other advanced biofuels. The same legislation raised the combined light-duty fleet CAFE standard to a 35 mpg level by 2020 while authorizing other structural reforms in the standards. The EISA also established a loan guarantee program for construction of manufacturing facilities for advanced-vehicle batteries and battery systems and requires a phase-out of the dual-fuel vehicle CAFE credit program by 2020.
Because automobiles and their supporting infrastructure impact the environment in numerous ways, many aspects of environmental policy come into play. However, it is control of the direct emissions from motor vehicles that is most relevant.
The history of Los Angeles smog, the pioneering work of Arie Haagen-Smit in linking smog to tailpipe pollution, and the subsequent development of emissions regulations first in California and then federally with the broad authority established by the Clean Air Act (CAA 1970) all are elements of one of the iconic stories of U.S. environmental policy (Mondt, 2000; CARB, 2011). At the beginning of this process in the 1960s, air pollution science was in its infancy and controls were rudimentary. As development continued, progressively tighter standards were set for restricting tailpipe emissions, prescribing fuel formulations, and limiting fuel evaporation from vehicles and fuel pumps.
The most stringent regulations for combustion-based vehicles, such as California's partial zero emission vehicle

Annette Daniel, sister of gangster Jamie Daniel, was sentenced to 15 months in prison while Jean Donnelly, part of Glasgow's McGovern family, was ordered to serve 12 months for their part in stealing goods worth more than £2000 from stores in Edinburgh and Braehead.
At Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Sheriff Kenneth Maciver told Daniel, 52, and Donnelly, 47: "There is no alternative in my view except a custodial sentence.
"A strong message must be sent out."
Daniel, 52, had denied stealing a handbag from a Harvey Nichols store in Edinburgh on October 2012, and, along with Donnelly, 47, stealing cosmetics from Space Nk in George Street on the same day.
The pair also denied the theft from Zara in Princes Street on October 28 and stealing from the Ellis Brigham store in Braehead on November 25, 2012.
Daniel and Donnelly were found guilty by a majority for the Zara theft, but guilty unanimously on the other charges. Sheriff Maciver was told that Daniel had a record of previous convictions going back two decades.
Eight of the convictions were for shoplifting, but, said defence advocate, Tony Lenehan, the biggest single sentence had been one of six months last year.
Gordon Williams, appearing for Donnelly, told the Sheriff both accused were "realistic about his limited options" when it came to sentencing. His client's record dated back 25 years, mainly for shoplifting.

"When Christianity tells you to feed the hungry it does not give you lessons in cookery. When it tells you to read the Scriptures it does not give you lessons in Hebrew and Greek, or even in English grammar. It was never intended to replace or supersede the ordinary human arts and sciences: it is rather a director which will set them all to the right jobs, and a source of energy which will give them all new life, if only they will put themselves at its disposal."

Analyzing the video iPod possibility
updated 03:35 pm EDT, Thu September 15, 2005
Video iPod possibility
Video iPods probably won't be about watching movies on the move, but rather watching them in the living room, according to a BusinessWeek columnist: Laptop computers and portable DVD players already play movies on the go, but the into a video-storage platform that connects to television sets. An AV connection already exists on the iPod docking station, however it currently only displays stills and slide shows with custom soundtracks. A few changes to the inside of the iPod would allow a video connection, according to the report. A video download service may see opposition from Hollywood executives concerned with piracy as well. According to the report; however, the columnists believes that Apple may be "the only company that can do it right."

Forgive my noobness!
My opponent has the card 'Flood' : Tap target creature without flying.
I entered my attack phase, said what creatures I was attacking with, and tapped the cards. My opponent gave it a few seconds and then used Flood to tap one of my attacking creatures (even though i had tapped it to attack.) My opponent did this to stop the creature from attacking him.
Was this a legal move? After i had tapped the card to attack him, surely its too late for him to tap it? Should he not have tapped it in my initial main phase?

Akin repeatedly arrested at 1985 abortion protests
ST LOUIS Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin was repeatedly arrested during anti-abortion protests in the 1980s, including at least once when police had to carry him away, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
Akin, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in the Nov. 6 election, acknowledged last month during a campaign event that that he had been arrested about 25 years ago as part of an anti-abortion protest. But Akin has repeatedly declined to discuss additional details.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported on its website Tuesday that its newspaper archives include at least three accounts of Akin being arrested in March and April of 1985 for criminal trespass and resisting arrest at abortion clinics in the St. Louis area. He apparently never was charged.
The St. Louis police department also confirmed in response to an open-records filed by a representative of the liberal advocacy group People For the American Way that Akin was arrested May 9, 1987, but it said records of the arrest were closed under state law because Akin never convicted.
Akin's firm anti-abortion stance gained national attention in the Senate race when he remarked in a mid-August TV interview that women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in "legitimate rape." Akin repeatedly apologized and said he was wrong, but Akin has continued to emphasize that he opposes abortion in all instances except rare cases when it is necessary to save the life of the woman.
A video circulating on the Internet in September showed Akin discussing his past involvement in abortion protests during a speech to supporters. He was recorded as saying: "You know, don't tell anybody I'm a jailbird." He explained: "a bunch of us sat in front of these doors and the police gave us a ride to the free hotel for a while, and you know how it goes."
At a Kansas City news conference last month, Akin confirmed he had been arrested about 25 years ago but provided no further details. His campaign said at the time that it would release additional details but never did so.
Asked last Saturday by The Associated Press to elaborate on when and where he was arrested, Akin again declined to do so.
"We're not talking about that at all," Akin told the AP. "It was 25 years ago, and I think it underlines the fact that I stand up for the things I believe and I'm pro-life, and we're just leaving it there."
Akin campaign adviser Rick Tyler said Tuesday that Akin does not dispute the Post-Dispatch account of his arrests but still has nothing more to say.
McCaskill's campaign declined to comment Tuesday about Akin's arrests. McCaskill canceled her campaign events through the rest of the week to be with her critically ill mother, who was in the hospital Tuesday.
The newspaper said it had missed the 1985 arrests in previous searches of its archives because the news stories had listed Akin by his first name, William. Akin went by his middle name, Todd, when he began his political career by running for the state House in 1988. He has continued to go by Todd Akin since winning election to Congress in 2000.

Church bakes up a storm for annual festival
CYNDIE CLAYPOOL de NEVE
North County Times
It took just five hours for members of Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church to assemble 160 pans of spanakopita. That's 4,500 pieces of flaky filo dough filled with a mouthwatering mixture of spinach, cheese, onions, parsley and eggs.
Since the end of July, about two dozen women and men have been working steadily to prepare the traditional foods to be served at the 23rd Greek Festival, Sept. 8 and 9 at the Cardiff church.
On the second day of assembling spanakopita, the bakers spread out among three rooms off the church's original kitchen. Women sat at long tables, chatting nonchalantly as they buttered each of the 30 paper-thin sheets of filo dough.
"It's second nature to us," said the energetic Jeannie Ranglas, who coordinates baking the homemade entrees, pastries and appetizers that feed the 15,000 guests expected to attend the Greek Festival.
"Let me tell you, it's an art," said Diana Fowler of Escondido. After she buttered each sheet, she used her gloved hands to neatly fold down the quarter-inch of excess dough. That's how the women in her family taught her to make the traditional Greek main dish. "They used to slap our hands if we didn't get it right," she said.
On this day, no one got their hands slapped. Instead, the group laughed as they noticed they each handled the excess filo dough differently. Sybee Ranglos of Spring Valley shoved down the edges with the butter brush. Virginia Shilling of Solana Beach pressed each of her edges up against the side of the large foil pan. "That's how my mom did it," she said.
The top layers, however, must all be uniform. "The last one has to be perfect," said Shilling, adding, "You don't butter the last one, the foil sits on top."
When done, the women take their spinach pies to Mike Pekos of La Jolla, one of five men helping that day.
"I'm the presser and foil wrapper," said Pekos, who loves spanakopita so much that even his Swedish wife has learned to make it. "I didn't go to college for nothing," he joked.
Nick Klikas of Encinitas gently sliced the unbaked dish into portions, to make serving easier on the morning of the festival. "Nick is like a surgeon," admired Pekos. "It's important it doesn't cut through the bottom."
"You have to feel the filo," said Klikas as he concentrated on not cutting through the pan.
Chuck Hall of Oceanside, a retired Oceanside High School coach, wore his wife's green and white striped apron and licked a lollipop as he waited for the final trays. "I do the bagging and put it in the freezer," he said.
Each tray is completely wrapped in a plastic bag and stored in a tall, two-door freezer. After each is frozen, Hall transfers them to a large freezer chest, where they are stacked until the morning of the event.
"It was a little more hectic yesterday," said Hall.

eBook Category: People/History
eBook Description: In 1942 the young soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The German name for the place was 'Auschwitz': a name now synonymous with man's darkest hour. Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most infamous German death-camp of the Second World War, functioned for the incarceration and extermination of those that the third Reich deemed "undesirables": Jews, homosexuals, Communists. What is less known is that it was the fate of hundreds of British POWs to find it their prison, and to behold the atrocities meted out by Hitler's SS. This is the true story of one of those witnesses. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz. Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners, and aided a partisan group planning a mass break-out.

The building boom in health care apparently isn't over yet.
Froedtert Health announced on Friday that it plans to begin construction this year on a $117 million expansion and renovation project at Froedtert Hospital.
The project, which still must win the necessary approvals, includes a 480,000-square-foot building with three levels of underground parking, on Doyne Ave. west of the hospital's cancer center.
The $95 million cancer center, completed in 2008, was the last major project at the hospital.
The new building would free up space to consolidate and renovate the hospital's surgical and interventional suites. Those now are in different parts of the hospital, and many of them are smaller than the current standard.
"That really is the driver of this project," said John Balzer, vice president of facility planning and development at Froedtert Health.
From 2001 to 2011, the number of surgeries at Froedtert Hospital increased by 72%, with more than 18,000 surgeries performed in 2011.
The hospital - the academic medical center of the Medical College of Wisconsin - has had to schedule surgeries in the evenings on some days.
"Steady growth in demand for services on our campus has pushed us to capacity in several areas," Cathy Buck, president of Froedtert Hospital, said in statement.
The expansion project, first reported in the Milwaukee Business Journal, would continue the building boom of recent years that has included new hospitals in Milwaukee, Summit, Grafton and Franklin, a major expansion of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa and the new cancer center at Froedtert.
It is the second large construction project announced this year by Froedtert Health. The health system also plans to build a $45 million, 135,000-square-foot medical office building in New Berlin.
Froedtert Health, which includes hospitals in Menomonee Falls and the West Bend area, plans to sell $162.4 million in bonds to finance the project and refinance existing bonds.
For its fiscal year ended June 30, Froedtert reported operating income of $82.9 million and net income, which includes gains and losses on its reserves, of $74.3 million on revenue of almost $1.4 billion.
Its operating income included $27.2 million from the settlement of a lawsuit and an $11.6 million refund from the Internal Revenue Service involving payroll taxes.
The health system - which has seen its revenue increase by $246.3 million since 2009 - ended the fiscal year with about $950 million in reserves.
The growth in the number of surgeries done at the hospital stems partly from the Medical College's adding 37 surgeons over the past five years, with all or nearly all of them specializing in a specific type of surgery, said Gary Seabrook, a vascular surgeon and senior director of surgical services for Froedtert & The Medical College, the brand name for the hospital and the medical school.
"Virtually everyone we've hired has a niche," Seabrook said.
That's drawn patients from throughout eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
About 1,500 surgical patients were transferred to Froedtert Hospital from other hospitals last year, said Carolyn Bellin, a spokeswoman for Froedtert Health.
The hospital also draws thousands of patients from throughout the country.
Some of the renovated surgical and interventional suites will be used by cardiologists and radiologists as well as vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons.
That should allow more flexibility in scheduling and improve efficiency, Seabrook said.
The building, which will consist of 300,000 square feet of office space and 180,000 square feet of underground parking, has been part of the hospital's long-term plan since 2008, he said. It basically will be a twin of the cancer center, and designed so that floors can be added.

LINCOLN – A bolt of lightning from a front of storms passing through the area Monday morning is believed to have sparked a fire in the roof of a home at 1809 Old Louisquisset Pike and left a family of three temporarily homeless.
Mark Rodrigues said he son, Austin, 17, was home at the time of 10:50 a.m. strike and immediately called the fire department.
"The Fire Department said they heard a heavy bang in the area and then got the call," Rodrigues said while looking over the aftermath of the fire at his home on Monday.
"He called 911 right away and then called us," Rodrigues said. Austin was able to get one of the family's dogs, James Dean, out with him safely, but a second pet, Lexie, had been inside a room on the main level and perished in the fire.

Eight Days to Go. Just when I needed you most ...
Yesterday was one of those days, by the time I got home I just wanted to lie on the couch and watch TV. I checked the mailbox as soon as I got home and was thrilled to have received the June issue of Self. As I perused the pages (lying on the couch watching TV), I stumbled upon the Pilates work out. After some self-reflection I decided to get up off the couch and give the workout a try. All of the exercises required a small exercise ball; I found one of Maggie's old basketballs and went to work. The whole group of Pilates only took about 20 minutes and I had enough energy afterward to carry on a decent conversation, fix a great dinner and clean up the kitchen! Moral of the story: Give exercise a try when you just want to flake out...you can always get back on the couch.
The Countdown -- Nine Days
This weekend was tough. I completed the Race for the Cure on Saturday morning. Over 37,000 racers showed up. It was an amazing show of support to finding a cure for breast cancer. I ran in memory of my aunt and in honor of four courageous survivors. Those were the people that got me through the race. I was exhausted when I got home on Saturday. I spent the rest of the weekend watching my husband work on the cottages at the lake (I pretended to watch while reading a great book). I took Rosey for a leisurely 2 mile walk on Sunday morning. After that, Tim surprised me with a picnic lunch on the dock, Sunday afternoon ... "Lee's famous fried chicken"!
I haven't had fried chicken since 2006. I was afraid that if I took one bite I was going to eat every piece. This was not something I wanted to eat a week before the big day. On the other hand, it was a little romantic, a traditional picnic, on our very own dock. The sun was shining, all was right with the world. I decided I could do it, I could eat one piece of fried chicken, skin removed, green beans and a small portion of mashed potatoes. I ate two small pieces of chicken, most of the skin was removed, green beans and a small portion of mashed potatoes with an even smaller amount of gravy and ½ of a biscuit. It was a glorious day and I didn't totally ruin my diet. More importantly though, I didn't eat everything in sight because of a little deviation.
Fifteen Minutes of Fame!
In two short weeks my celebrity status with "Good Morning America" will end. It is hard to believe that the challenge is coming to a close. The past three months have truly been life changing. I cannot believe I have followed a diet plan and worked out regularly for three months. "Self" and "Good Morning America" have changed my life. I look forward to exercising and feel cheated if everyday life gets in the way! I don't even consider myself "on a diet" anymore. I have changed my eating habits to a healthy diet. Combining that healthy diet with exercise is decreasing my weight.

Actually, not a liar and it has happened at least what was explained to me, so if as you say it has NOT happened yet.......the research is there and it could/can happen eventually and just because you don't like it or believe it can be done is not my problem!!!!What you are first and foremost is a liar.

This article says it hasn't happen YET, but it is possible:
You take them for what you believe they are worth......there are more out there and again, I could have been wrong, but that is the information I was given........and from what I have read......it was a possibility a couple of years ago!!!
