Naga Chaitanya 100% Love movie review, Story
Naga Chaitanya 100% Love movie review, Story, 100% Love release date
Naga Chaitanya Sukumar 100% Love
Cast & Crew of 100% Love
Hero and Heroine : Naga Chaitanya, Tamanna
Music : Devi Sri Prasad
Director : Sukumar
Producer : Allu Aravind
Release date of 100% Love : May 6th, 2011
Brief story of 100% Love
100% Love is all about a concept called Infatuation dealt by creative director sukumar. Yuva samrat Naga chaitanya is playing the lead role in 100% Love and Tammanah is the Heroine. This story is revolves around Balu (Naga chaitanya) who is an intelligent Engineering student and Maha lakshmi (Tammanah) who is also balu`s relative. Rest of the movie is all about how Balu and Mahalakshmi gets on with the first rank in the college and fall in love but don`t express with each other. 100% Love is mainly intended to say a simple point that today`s generation are spoiling with EGOS.
Review of Movie 100% Love
Naga chaitanya is good with his acting as a studious guy but has to improve his acting skills a bit more. He is very good with dialogs and commandable on the role. Tammanah is very gorgeous and so cute in looks. She did a fantastic performance in the role of Mahalakshmi. The scene when Chaitanya expresses his love to her in pre-climax, she excelled. Devi sri prasad music is a definite asset for this movie. First half of the movie is spell bounding and appeals to the youth a lot with loads of entertainment. Second half is good with the sentiment share increasing to dominant level. Sukumar did an excellent job with his creativity. You can see his mark of Comedy and Songs in 100% Love. DON`T MISS TITLES OF THIS MOVIE.
First half of 100% Love : 4/5
Second half of 100% Love : 3.5/5
100% Love Rating : 3.75/5
Final Verdict :
A worth watch movie. Complete entertainment is provided worth your ticket. Just go and watch it.

Last time we heard from Candy Claws, 2010's Hidden Lands, the band showcased a soft, dreamy, layered style that was easy (and often quite pleasant) to just get lost in, letting it carry you off to its titular lands. Their newest song, "Transitional Bird (Clever Girl)", from Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time, due out June 25th, retains the same layers and a measure of the dreaminess of Hidden Lands, while sounding a good deal more propulsive and energetic. Instrumental and vocal hooks are also much more clearly audible, and the bite of shoegaze guitars buzzes through the candy-colored haze.
Latest Blog Posts
Don't let anyone steer you wrong. Despite the fact that it's an excellent album, Kendrick Lamar's breakout LP good kid, m.A.A.d city was not the best rap record released last year. That distinction goes to the unexpected and sublime team-up between Dungeon Family-associated rapper Killer Mike and rapper/producer/former Def Jux label head El-P, the El-P produced Killer Mike album R.A.P. Music. Though they only rapped on one track together on that record, the project was a standout chiefly for their remarkable (and somewhat unlikely) chemistry. For that reason, it's impossible to not be excited about their newest collaboration, a duo called Run the Jewels that features the two sharing rapping duties (and El-P wielding some typically monster production, naturally). First full song leak from the album "Get It" (a snippet of a song called "Banana Clipper was released a few weeks previous) shows the two in vicious quotable mode (El: "My name is Jaime Meline / I'm not chasing the green, I'm taking it", Mike: "Mike'll fuck a rapper's life up like Monique did to Precious") and they relentlessly try to one-up one another while sounding like two friends genuinely happy to be working together. They trade bars in classic style, and it's rare to hear two modern rappers work so well together—so much the better, then, that Fool's Gold will be releasing the group's full-length LP for free this summer.
It seems like Polish grindcore lifers Suffering Mind are releasing something as often as other bands practice, whether it be a split, EP, or the occasional LP (the band love odd formats, as they have currently released a record in every size from two to eight inches). What makes this acceptable is that virtually everything they release is of such a high quality that the chance to get new Suffering Mind is tough to pass up. Their sound incorporates bits of grindcore, crust punk and death metal and influences from Assück, Discordance Axis, Phobia as well as a host of others. It also includes a liberal dash of mid-paced death-doom that features prominently here, spiking the blasting passages with a heavy, Repulsion-gone-doom reek before returning to the track's frantic pace, complete with vocalist Radek's blistered-throat high screams. This forthcoming split 7" with Canadian mincecore heroes Archagathus is an excellent place to pick up in the swift stream of Suffering Mind releases.
Brandon Biondo has been making superb new wave and art pop-indebted indie rock for years with Coolrunnings to little fanfare, but his newest band, Shy Boys (with co-vocalist and bassist Nicole McMinn) might be enough to break him out to a larger audience. The latest original to be leaked from the project, "Something" is a pristine slow-burner that follows the formula of much of Coolrunnings' mid-paced material. What sets it apart, however, is McMinn and Biondo's sad, longing dual vocal interplay and the big, crisp (though still suitably underground-sounding) instrumentation. There's such feeling to the track that its repetition of "This is love / This is not love" sounds like the duo is wrestling with those sentiments as they're singing them. Shy people everywhere (boys, girls or otherwise) should pay close attention to this one.
A graduate of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, New York-based Romain Collin has had the great fortune of working with the likes of jazz legends Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. While Shorter and Hancock are some of the giants of fusion and crossover jazz, Collin opts for a much more distilled purity in his work and his dexterity with the piano showcases an erudite skill matched only by the discerning emotions that forge the bulk of his songwriting. Collin's sophomore release, The Calling, is an album of warm crystalline beauty and the musician's playing traverses a delicate line between a lush sea-bath swirl of scales and spiked, meditative crescendo highs. You can hear all of that in this clip, featuring a rendition of two of the numbers from the album, "Storm" and the title-track, performed live at Rockwood in New York. The short burst of "Storm" introduces the band before segueing into the next number (the album's title-track) where Collin works an elegantly serpentine melody, circling around the nuanced underpinnings of Luques Curtis' double bass and the crisp drumming of Kendrick Scott, executed with economy and restraint. The scales explore a haunted, intuitive search and the resonance and tension of the piece expands more and more as the number slowly builds toward the nine-minute mark. In no way is this pop music, but Collin has found a way to make his brand of jazz just as immediate – and instantly gratifying.

By BGEA Staff • June 1, 2004 • Topics: Missions & Service
Anyone who senses the leading of the Lord to enter the Christian ministry or any field of Christian service should seek confirmation of that guidance through meditation upon God's Word and prayer.
The desire to enter full-time Gospel ministry should be a God-given urge and passion to seek out the lost, win them for Christ, and nurture them within the church. Paul expressed it this way, "Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel" (1 Corinthians 9:16).
Preparation should begin immediately through a personal habit of daily devotions, Bible study, and prayer. Loyalty in church attendance and active participation in Christian service are essential. Counsel and prayer with pastors and church leaders are also vital. Perhaps your pastor could suggest a program of reading and study in those areas he would consider most helpful. Trust the Lord to lead you in further training at a Bible college or seminary of His choice.
Your pastor or church leaders should be able to give you specific information on the process of obtaining credentials for ministry within your particular church or denomination. You might also contact officials at a Bible college or seminary that you are interested in.
As you explore God's plan for your ministry, remember the wonderful promise of Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Thank you so much for the information. I will also like to get more information on this topic.
Thanks for the information. Pray that I can be faithful to God in every way.
Thanks. With Gods help, I will meet these expectations because time is short and there is a dying world.
Thank you
Thanks for the helpful information about being called to the ministry.
Thank you
Thanks for this.
Thank you for this helpful and practical post. Proverbs 3:5-6 is one of my life verses.

"Sorry, I just got off the phone from finding out someone's dead."
The guy was indeed a little late coming out. I tell him that it's not a problem, and drive.
"I'm really messed up, man. My aunt died, she was awesome."
I mumble a condolence of some sort, probably something along the lines of "I'm sorry." It's a source of frustration to me—I find myself in this situation every once in a while, and I can never think of something appropriately comforting to say. So I apologize, even though I don't know the other person.
"I mean, she was such a good person!" he continues. "I'm not just saying that—she was a child psychologist, she helped kids! Her and her husband were so in love with one another, and just retired to the coast. She choked —I mean, who chokes to death anymore?"
"So did he find her?" He says yes, and I visibly wince.
"What bugs me the most is that I'm gonna have to hear all this bull about how it happened for a reason, that it's God's will or whatever. There's no reason here, just no possible reason."
"Well, that's exactly the point, man—there isn't any 'reason' for something so random, so people turn to stuff like God."
We're silent for a moment, and he asks what we're listening to. I tell him it's a Console remix of a Subtle song.
"I like it, it's comforting" he says. "Crank it."
I do.

Play Time
The Puddle Jumpers Childrens Theatre Company has always been about the kids -- but this years Holiday Fantasment production goes beyond performance and puts the pen into small hands. Traditional holiday songs and Irrelephant Christmas, a short play by local playwright Leroy Leonard (who does happen to be an adult) will be part of the show, but the focus is on a collection of seasonal monologues composed by the players themselves, ranging in age from seven to seventeen. We wanted to treat them like professional actors and real company members, says Puddle Jumpers founder Rita Broderick. We wanted to give the kids a say in this years production.
The Puddle Jumpers, who perform other plays throughout the year, will also be directing some of the Holiday Fantasment monologues, getting a chance to see a production from all sides. The performance, which takes place at the Denver Victorian Playhouse, 4201 Hooker Street, is a tidy and kid-friendly 45 minutes; shows run at 11 a.m. and 1 a.m. today and 11 a.m. December 11 and 18, followed by a visit from Santa. Tickets run $12 for adults, $6 for kids and $2 extra for the Santa visit. To buy tickets or get more information, call 303-433-4343 or visit www.denvervic.com.
Sat., Dec. 4, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.; Sat., Dec. 11, 11 a.m.; Sat., Dec. 18, 11 a.m., 2010

Top Ten Most Psychedelic Songs EverIndiechild We know almost every band of the 60's made at least one psychedelic song, the Beatles, the Kinks, the Doors. So what is THE most psychedelic song ever made?
The Top TenXW
Everything about it made it a great song, the instruments, the lyrics, jim Morrison. - Indiechild
This band is never going to end it will last forever
This is the ULTIMATE Psychedelic Song! A great Band and a great song. It's deep dark and disturbed. I know we all love Jim but special credit has to be given to Ray Manzarek for his haunting organ keyboard and base line that continues throughout the song and provides a base for Jim to take poetic flight. Accompanied by Robby K's eclectic guitar intro that sustains and John D's thumping drums that punctuate this INCREDIBLE song. You want ACID in a song?...look not further as you have reached THE END!
Absolutely in a different dimension, simply the bestV34 Comments
Really cool tune and lyrics. Defined Woodstock 69 - Indiechild
On my opinion best psychedelic band is the animals. They were trailblazers of this style. But Jefferson airplane I love as much as possible.
It's about a story made by someone who was on drug (alice in wonderland) in a time when most people took drugs and the opening line is iconic
One of the bestV16 Comments
Love love love this, makes me think that the creativity of john lennon was at a point where it could surpass anything they had done before... When boom a few years later The Walrus comes out!
Damn, this song's should be on top 3.
Turn off your mind, relax and float this UPstream. Should be top, so far ahead of its time, creativity in its purest form, draws inspiration from such diverse fields. I loves it lots and lots and lots x
Years ahead of its timeV21 Comments
Great PF song, but come on, this isn't a psychedelic song. Examples for PF psychedelic songs are Astronomy Domine, Bike, Set the Controls... OK?
Comfortably Numb, while it is a great song, is about a Fever- This is Proven by Roger Waters stating so and the lyrics state so
In my opinion the best Pink Floyd song and so sad. - Indiechild
Best psychedelic song to listen when u r high especially the guitar solo part!V9 Comments
Jimi Hendrix was not only a guitar god but he was an acid legend to. This song was about drugs written for people who took drug by a man who took drugs. How psychedelic can you get? - Indiechild
Nothing compares to Hendrix and his guitar work. When I saw his guitar at the EMP I felt this aura of passion and love. I think of all the black musicians he inspired. Seattle still is the best town for rock music. It's a shame he was so involved in drugs like most of the artists from there. He will be missed.
This whole song is about the psychedelic experience. Just listening to it makes you want to get high.
The best guitarist to ever liveV7 Comments
What do you want from psychedelic music? This song has it all.
Come on now. This song stands for LSD. It defines psychedelic music! Describing psychedelic pictures.
How this isn't in the top 10 blows my mind! The guitar alone brings you on a journey full of visuals and the slow to fast pace would make any beatnik psychodelically satisfied
This song is not about LSD. It has been said by the band many times it is not. It is about a child's drawing. Get your act together and do your research!V12 Comments
This Music is Just Average, please it's good this sacred music is known only to few people like you n me, it takes you to a paradise reminding of life's little things the rise, the fall, this music can't be re-created try it, even genius of PF would fail to create this magic again :) I have spent years listening to this song.. It's a music that fades n lightens but has a length to tell a mesmerizing story that is not forced on to you, the song doesn't hurry you on up, it lays a foundation where you automatically start thinking about life's real point, where things matter yet they don't matter much, hurt seems to dissolve and a new breath with full of life being blown into you.. People would say there's this weird part right in the middle that's psychedelic.. That's the backbone of the song I love all the parts please listen to full 24 mins song n don't disgrace it by listening it only 8 mins. That will be cheeky and disrespectful, believe me it takes time but I'm not publicizing ...more
"It's not just a song... rather, it's a journey." That's what my friend said about it and he was right. you just don't listen to a good song, it takes you places, man! you just sit down and relax and try to enjoy the journey, The journey through the planets and the galaxies of the universe. Try to feel how small you are compared to stars and galaxies and how gigantic you are compared to the Quarks, Leptons and other subatomic particles.
It's the best ever made by a band in the history of mankind. For me at least.
It is one of the best song made by Pink Floyd. Should be in top ten.
Come on, people... It's both prog and extremely psychedelic! Those things aren't mutually exclusive...V17 Comments
So incredibly happy to see this beautiful early floyd masterpiece on this list! - braindamage
Alone in the clouds all blue... Lying an an eiderdown! Yippee! You can't see me, but, I... Can... You... !
Amazing, but where is interstellar overdrive and astronomy domine?
Syd should the king of psychedeliaV11 Comments
This song is unrelentingly intense and perfectly captures the fractured psychedelic state of mind. "Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot... "
Absolutely perfect - like many Beatles pieces...but miss the trippy mood...that I can find in doors, floyd etc...perhaps it's there but I can't hear it
Deserves a higher place on the list!
An uncontrollable and uncomfortable piece of work.V2 Comments
This is one of the most heavy non-underground American heavy psychedelic rock songs released back in 1968. This deserves much more credit, and this song, and this band is better than the overrated Beatles.
The organ, guitar, the singer. All so brilliant. Together they make one hell of a song - Indiechild
The full version has the best backbeat and grooviest instrumental break of all time.
The Contenders
This is the greatest psychedelic song of all time. It's like taking a trip through the universe with a man (Syd barret) that has traveled it well.
Piper at the gates of dawn is the best Floyd album, and this is the best song on that album!
Without a doubt should be the number 1 song on this list
This should be number 1V3 Comments
Great lyrics and just so weird. It really defined Donovans style - Indiechild
The Beck solo transforms a folk song into a major experience.
awesome can't wait to trip to thisV2 Comments
Legendary guitar riff and great lyrics. Best song by cream - Indiechild
Possible the best-known guitar riff next to Smoke on the Water.V1 Comment
A far greater psychedelic song than his more famous Purple Haze, 1983 has the capacity to transport you to a surreal land, which is what psychedelia is all about in my opinion.
Largely ignored, but truly a psychedelic classic, much more so than other cliche songs. It's the feeling of the song that really drives it home.
This should be in the top list, I think people have not heard it much.
It's a journeyV4 Comments
The most underrated band of the 60's. The lyrics are so eerie and odd you just can't listen to it without being hypnotised by it. "we're all normal when we want our freedom" Amazing - IndiechildV2 Comments
While this probably ISN'T the Beatles MOST psychedelic song... It's a damn good choice, congrats to whoever nominated it.
Its psycedelic, but is also just one of the best and most underrated songs ever
By the point the beatles stop in the 1970s they are still pretty popular and when I play minecraft I listen to them while I'm playing
This song rules. trippyV4 Comments
This is a great song. Even better than White Rabbit. - Beatlesboy9
Its just classic, why the hell not?!V2 Comments
It's easy to say they were high when they made this.
A strange song that defines The Beatle's psychedelic song writing.
Very strange song indeed.
This song got Strawberry Alarm Clock famous. It was released in 1967 and this is one of the most famous psychedelic song coming from the American West Coast. This song, and especially this band, is underrated.
Clearly should be a Top Ten entry...
Best psychedelic song ever. Should be #1. This song has everything that makes psychedelic rock, psychedelic.
Not just Top 10, but #1. This is THE psychedelic song that defined psychedelia. Enough said.V2 Comments

HOUSTON – The Portland Trail Blazers didn't need to be reminded of their November game against the Houston Rockets. No one in Portland's locker room had forgotten Corey Brewer's one-legged runner from 30-feet just before the buzzer that capped off a wild fourth quarter comeback of an eventual Rockets overtime victory.
With that painful loss still fresh in their minds, the Blazers made sure to not let a big lead in Houston disappear for a second time this season, holding on for a 96-79 win Saturday at the Toyota Center.
"The way they won last time here I think was in the back of everybody's mind," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said.
"The last time we was here we played well but couldn't finish it," Blazers point guard Damian Lillard added. "Tonight we finished the game."
The Rockets (27-26) threatened a repeat of their November heroics late, cutting a 32-point second half deficit to 11 with just under three minutes remaining before Portland responded to avoid another late let down.
The Blazers (25-27) broke the game open in the second quarter, outscoring Houston 26-13 in the period as the lead swelled to as much as 21 before halftime. When CJ McCollum's three-pointer pushed the Blazers lead to 69-40 midway through the third quarter, the Rockets could only sulk towards their bench as fans inside the arena showered them with boos.
Blazers forward Moe Harkless started his second straight game in place of injured Noah Vonleh and was tasked with slowing James Harden. The Rockets' All-Star shooting guard started just 5-for-15 from the floor before finishing with 33 points, eight rebounds and 10 turnovers.
"He's going to get his buckets, man. I just tried to slow him down," Harkless said. "I think I did a pretty good job doing that especially in the first half."
For the game, Houston shot 32 percent and committed 22 turnovers leading to 27 Blazers points. The Blazers didn't burn down the nets, shooting 40 percent for the game. But Portland dominated the glass, outrebounding Houston 54-43 and grabbing 20 offensive rebounds.
"We didn't play our best offensively, but we found a way to get it done through our defense," Lillard said.
Lillard led the Blazers with 21 points, 10 assists and four rebounds. McCollum had 16 points and seven rebounds and Gerald Henderson added 16 points off the bench. Harkless had 14 points and Mason Plumlee finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.
The win moves the Blazers just one game back of the Rockets in the loss column.
No help
Through three quarters all 53 of the Rockets points came from four players. James Harden, Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Patrick Beverley provided all the scoring as the six other Houston players that saw the court combined for zero points. By contrast every Blazer that played in the game made at least one shot and six players finished in double-figures.
The Rockets got very little production out of their reserves as Portland's bench outscored Houston's 18-0 over the first three quarters and 24-12 for the game.
Sick and sidelined
Blazers wing Allen Crabbe was ruled out about an hour before tipoff due to gastritis. Crabbe remained in the locker room during the game. Noah Vonleh also missed his second straight game with a sprained left ankle and Harkless took his spot in the starting lineup.
With Crabbe and Vonleh inactive, rookies Luis Montero and Cliff Alexander were added to the active list.
Next up
The Blazers wrap up a two-game road swing against the Memphis Grizzlies Monday at 5 p.m.
-- Mike Richman

all the rules were gone after the first nite, we realized we didnt need them.
They haven't. We follow the exact same rules as always.
They have been modified slightly, but the principle is still there.
We have eliminated all, but just a few, standard rules.
Rules? What rules? Ready, willing and able for anything, anytime.
Wife Changed the rules when she started to get into playing with others.
Husband changed the rules when he started to really play with others.
We changed our rules together.
We follow the main trend this thread shows. We started out with more than we have now. Mainly now it's go with the flow, respect each other, and communicate.
We've pretty much just said 'no rules anymore' but it's because we understand each other so well. We still stay 'same room' but if the desire came to go to seperate rooms we'd know it - just by a look or nod of the head. We don't restrict each other, but we truly enjoy the same room so we can experience pleasure together.
We also say 'condoms only', but we've broken (no pun intended) that rule too, with people we know and trust.
all the rules were gone after the first nite, we realized we didnt need them.
Can't say very many rules have fallen by the wayside but they have been streamlined and trimmed up a lot. In the beginning we tried to cover every single base and every possible scenario with a rule to pertain to that. We have kind of left it with a global anyone can say no or change their mind at any time...period. We see the whole lifestyle as about free choice and part of that free choice is the choice to say no or to walk.
There are a number of things we aren't into to begin with under any circumstances like anal or BDSM etc but as far as rules with others it's pretty much don't do what you don't want to and neither will we.
We had a plethora of rules at first. They all flew out the window the first night we played with another couple.
The more we played, the nods, eye signals and hand signals Mr. LFM and I gave each other as an OK, let's try this worked.
We do keep a couple of rules and probably always will...
- same room pleasure only
- condoms -- no matter if we're surgically safe or not. We haven't met the "trusted couple" yet.
- respect for each other
- communication
- I love anal with Mr. LFM, but it's not allowed in swinging -- at least not with me.

As a single female, I find that making couples aware of my rules is a very important thing. After being with them for a while and developing a level of trust then sometimes the rules can be broken. However any rules that you have, you should follow until you feel that they are no longer necessary.
What rules have gone,all of em except 2,safe sex & have fun,we both now believe that as long as everybody is ok with whats going on then were happy.
We've been in the lifestyle almost seven years now. Our rules have evolved, but none have really changed. We went into this knowing that the more rules we loaded ourselves down with, the less fun we were going to have.
The big "two" for us have always been: EVERYONE must be having a good time and Kissing is required. No Kissy no nookie as far as we're concerned. We both love the PASSION. And to us, passion can't be acheived without the kiss. S&J
In the beginning we had a million rules and most of them seem unneccesary now. When hubby and I had our first threesome, we both went into it not really knowing what to expect. We thought that with all these rules in place, nothing could go wrong. But we quickly realized that so many rules did nothing but keep us uptight and unable to let loose and have fun. I was so preoccupied with jealousy in the beginning that I thought I couldn't have fun. (Not that I was jealous...it was the the fear of being jealous that brought on the rules) The craziest rule I had was the kissing rule. Yes, he could kiss her, but not passionately...and so on and so forth. OKAY...I realize that's pretty dumb now. After many more talks and experiences, we've realized that the only rules we need are these two: Total honesty and absolute respect. Beyond that, what else do you need?
"I am giddy; expectation whirls me round; Th' imaginary relish is so sweet that it enchants my sense" -- Shakespeare--
I don't think we ever sat down and made RULES so much as discussed what we were comfortable with and came to a conclusion that we would move foward together as a couple as we decided we were BOTH ready.
Since we'd just started dating when we started swinging, L and I hadn't yet developed a relationship to protect, and we didn't have predefined roles we needed to break out of. Therefore, no formal rules. Mainly, as long as we were both enjoying things, we were happy with the situation.
L and I have a keen sense for what each other will enjoy and be comfortable with, so we rely on that. Over the years, as we've come to know one another better, we're more comfortable with more situations, so we're receptive to more. In addition, we know MUCH better what turns each other on, so we steer more to those flavors.
If the adventure will end with us coming home and tearing each other up, it's good for us. And they all end that way ;-)

We didn't have that many rules to begin with, but we have . . . refined them a bit, as needed.
I'd rather go to hell for doing something I enjoyed than heaven wondering what it's like.
We have changed alot of our rule, but there are a few that must stay in place. Such as.....
1.) a condom must always be used.
2.) no bi play, no fisting, anal sex, bondage, or water sports.
3.) first meet up must be in a public place.
That's about all that we stick by.
We kind of rushed into the swinging scene. We set some ground rules. One of the rules was strickly no anal. Therefore no DP. She was worried we might want to try it during a threesome and she isn't into anal.
When we are alone, she enjoys licking and some shallow stimulation with my fingers but that is it.
That has recently changed. We have beome more comfortable with our friend and the sex has become more relaxed and fun.
The other night while we were in the middle of a MFM with our friend we swapped positions so that she was in a 69 with him while I knelt beside them. She was on top. At times , I like to sit back and watch, maybe lend a helping hand.
I started to caress her ass and spread her cheeks while he was under her giving her oral. My intense lust came over me and I started to play with her ass hole. She seemed to like it so I kept going further until my finger was inside her. Then, to my suprise he started the same. I spread her apart while he slid his middle finger all the way in. She started bucking like crazy and loved every minute of it.
After talking to her about it, she said that it felt good at the time and for the first time, she truly enjoyed anal penetration. So then I suggested anal sex thinking there might be a chance but no. She is still 100% against that. She even said she might not enjoy a finger in ever again.
I can only assume that her intense mood helped her enjoy something she wouldn't normally consider.
Rules don't really change, they evolve, so while she enjoyed it this time, it doesn't mean she won't like it next time. It is a process, My wife and i started out with me fingering around the area and mild penatration. over time she grew to enjoy it more, added more fingers to get her used to something larger ( always with plenty of lube!) lets face a penis will likely be a wee bit bigger than "a" finger.
My wife now enjoys anal once in a while, but it was a process, it took time and it was something she wanted when it happened. So don't Push, just give her what she enjoys add a bit more as thing move on, don't rush.
After all "good things come to those who wait"
I don't speak or write proper english however, I do use fluent American Ease to its foremost!
I can definately understand where your wife is coming from. I get in the mood for anal like once a year. That doesn't mean I don't like having my ass played with more often, a finger or a vibe in there but it does take some work. The idea of anal sex IS NOT something that anyone could just suggest to me and I'd be all for. I have to be IN THE MOOD for it (and that typically means I'm craving it). Just because you got your fingers in her ass and she enjoyed it doesn't even mean she would have enjoyed it if it had been your cock. Anal can be VERY painful for me, and it's always either one extreme or the other (very painful or it feels very good) and sometimes even when I think I want it, it ends up being painful and that just kills the whole night.
Don't push.
I'm curious how the more experienced couples have changed their rules over the course of time. What rules did you start out with and which ones did you do away with or change over time? (Why?)
What was the evolution for you and your partner? (ie. what are your current rules and how long did it take to get to the rules you're at now?)
And did it seem to be mutual agreement or was there some debate on which rules to keep and which ones to let go of?
We have changed our rules on occasion. Sometimes we have even bent them, but only after disscussing it first. I think it is just a natural progression as you get more and more comfortable in the lifestyle.
We didn't have many rules when we started. Basically, it was only do stuff we felt good about with folks we felt good about, and enjoy it as much as we could. If anything, we're more relaxed about it nowadays.
S and L, Hot Raleigh Cpl
Good question! I've been wondering the same.
Especially when you're really new, how do you set rules when you have nothing to go by? We've discussed everything so much & gotten nowhere as far as makeing any rules. We've just come to the realization that we'll need to go in with no rules & go from there. I mean we both agree that safe sex is a must, but that's really it. If / when there needs to be a rule set, we'll handle it from there.
Any examples of rules you started out with and what you've whittled them down to?
Here are the rules that we have right now...
1. No singles, only couples. (though we have bent this on occassion, but only when both of us agree)
2. If both of us aren't attracted to them (m-f) (f-m) , then it doesn't happen. We don't take one for the team.
3. If we are playing somewhere where we can go to sleep at the end of the night. We always go to sleep with our spouse.
4. We always try to let the other know when we are going off to play.
5. never play with someone the other hasn't met yet.
I think that is all of them.
That is well said! I think alot of new couples would benefit from this advise. I think too many times couples set unrealistic rules, setting themselves up for failure. If couples spent more time communicating how they feel, rather than what they will "let" there spouse do, they would find entry into swinging easier..... and well more enjoyable!
Yes. Here are some rules that we started with but have gone away (or been modified):
1. No kissing
2. Same room always
3. We both play or neither one of us plays
4. Condoms always
As to why they have the gone away, I think it was an evolutionary thing. When we first started playing, we were concerned (as many first time couples are) that the activities might hurt our relationship. So, a lot of the rules were intended to "protect" the relationship. Kissing was initially viewed as too intimate. Same room was intended to makes us each feel like we were part of whatever was going on with the other. As we became more experienced, we became less concerned about the swinging hurting our relationship (because we found that our relationship was, if anything, much stronger as a result).
Our both play rule reflected our insecurity that we would be more jealous if only one of us was being allowed to play. So, initially, we would not participate in threesomes. Again, with experience, jealousy was much less of a concern. Also, with experience, there was much less concern that favors would not be returned in the fullness of time. So, for example, if she has a good time tonight (and I don't play with someone else as a result), I have greater confidence that I will get my turn (maybe a MFF threesome) sometime into the future. Moreover, when we first started playing, we were each a little bit more focused upon our own fun playing with another. Now, we derive a lot of joy out of just watching our partner being pleasured in some way.
We actually started without a condom rule--our first play date was with a similarly inexperienced couple who, like us, had been largely monogamous for years. When we decided to continue to play with more experienced couples, we adopted the condom only rule. Then, as we learned a lot more about STDs, we modified the rule. Now, our general rule that we use condoms. But, there are some couples and individuals with whom we feel comfortable enough to play without. I think this is largely a personal choice weighing risks against perceived benefits.
We had so many rules it would be to endless to list them. But like many others stated our rules evolved with our comfort level. We had a few rules the first time we went to the club. First we were voyeurs , then the next time same room sex the next time a little oral play, then a little more than full swap and so on. But the rules changed as our confidence was secured this type of activity did not threaten our marriage. It fortified it. The longer we are in the lifestyle we realize the chance of infidelity is less and less.
Our rules pretty much mirrored lookingfornow's.
1) No kissing
2) No seperate room play
3) We both play or it's a no-go
4) Condoms always
5) No anal
6) No bi-play for the guys
7) No "extreme" stuff (watersports, scat, animals, real pain)
8) No bondage or restraints for Amelia.
Rule #1 was the first to go. Having sex with somebody and not being able to kiss them just didn't feel right. And, once we got over our initial newbie jealousy worries, kissing wasn't a big deal anymore.
Rule #2 was the second to go. But we've only done it once and it really didn't thrill us at the time (but I chalk that up to the playmates at the time). We're willing to try it again, if the circumstances are right.
Rule #3 was unofficially abolished a while ago. Both Amelia and I have no problems with us playing separately with a very short list of people (at this point, only one other couple). But we're really good friends with them, and I have no concerns (for her safety or otherwise) if she wanted to spend some time with them for a little three-way fun if I was indisposed.
Rule #4 is one of those "More or less a strong guideline" rule. We did go bareback with another couple a very long time ago, but it's been years since we've played without condoms. But we're not ruling it out. If we really have a connection with a certain couple, and we trust them, we wouldn't mind playing bareback with them. But, generally speaking, the rule right now is "Condoms always during intercourse".
Rule #5 thought #8 is still fully in force.

In bestseller Griffin's gung-ho fifth presidential agent novel (after The Shooters), the U.S. president assigns Lt. Col. Charley Castillo, a member of the Office of Organizational Analysis, a special task-to track down the terrorists who murdered an American diplomat in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When Castillo's inquiries lead him to a pair of defecting Russian spies, they offer information about an Iranian-run bioweapons factory hidden in the Congo. Readers who want exciting accounts of desperate battles have come to the wrong place. Griffin excels in describing the planning and the bureaucratic tussles that have to occur before the first bomb goes off. He understands the psychology and motivations of military and clandestine service officers. While he paints an enticing, if overly idealized, portrait of loyal, capable people drawn to others of their kind, realism isn't his strong suit. Still, Griffin's many fans will be rewarded.

Editorial Reviews
Griffin's latest in the best-selling but generally disappointing series involving terrorism in the modern world picks up immediately after its predecessor, The Shooters, and features the same confusing ensemble of characters led by superagent Charley Castillo. People in the intelligence world are being murdered, and Charley might be next. But neither Charley nor his companions are fazed; they are sometimes more concerned with finding homes for a bunch of puppies than solving the killings, handling Russian defectors, and finding a biological warfare center in Africa. Far too much time is spent on irrelevant digressions and explaining past relationships instead of developing the story. Ultimately, of course, Charley and the good guys prevail. Griffin's fans will be happy that the club has resurfaced, but new readers will likely be turned off by the complicated tale and the too-flippant dialog. Based on this novel's conclusion, the series is either changing drastically or ending-either is overdue. For larger collections. [See Prepub Alert, LJ9/1/08.]

Purchased and read this book based on the rating of 4 stars. Not worth 1 star. Alot of characters with foreign names and all over the map, literally. The review said lots of action, forget it, hardly any, even when there was suppose to be the mission, hardly anything was said. I was very disappointed since I wanted an action pack adventure. Want a good one, read Ice Station. Non stop action and easy to keep up with who is who.
After reading everything by Vince Flynn, Lee Child, Tom Clancy etc. I thought I would try a W. E. B. Griffin book, having seen his name on the shelves for many years. Black Ops was the most boring, slow, go nowhere book I have ever read. If this is representative of Griffin's writing, then I don't understand what the fuss is all about.
I am a long time fan of W.E.B. Griffin, a master of writing a series where the characters become like relatives or friends of his readers. My favorite series is ¿The Corps¿, which takes the reader through WWII and into the Korean Conflict. Griffin¿s new series, ¿Presidential Agent¿ is set in modern times with modern conflicts with terrorists in a politically correct world. Personality and agency conflicts provide the tension, and USA LTC Carlos Castillo, the center character of the series, reminds me of USMC Major McCoy in ¿The Corps¿ series.
Agency infighting and egos once again block intelligence about a developing terrorist attack. The president has formed a special intelligence/operational group under his personal control, headed by LTC Castillo. Previous success by Castillo has earned him the enmity of the CIA, FBI, and the director of national intelligence¿The Ambassador.
Castillo faces many challenges, one of which is dealing with senior officers when he is in charge. However, he also has his ¿angels¿ who provide him as much protection as they can. The tipping point in the series comes when Castillo once again out foxes the alphabet agencies and wins the battle¿but will he loose the war? You must read the book to find out.
Black Ops is not a page turning action-adventure novel, but it is a page turning political-intelligence suspense novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I suggest that new readers begin at the beginning of the series, otherwise is it easy to become confused by the continuing stories from previous books, a Griffin hallmark.
I really ejoyed this whole series,unfortunatley it looks like this is the end of it.Ive read some of the other reviews that say the plot is the same asin other series,that's because war has been the same for centuries the only thing that's changed is the weaponry.War basicly is I want your land and if you don't give it to me I'm going to kill you and if you do give it to me I might kill you anyway,you simply can't change that.I'm also a firm beleiver in "if you don't follow history your bound to repeat it" which Mr Griffin has also refered to in this series.Looking forward to reading more of Mr.Griffin's books.
By far the worst of the series.
I've read every W.E.B. Griffin book. Shame on Penguin Group for publishing this pale shadow work from a formerly was a powerful and entertaining writer. I think Mr. Griffin now should enjoy a well deserved retirement.
I was disappointed in this book. I don't feel that this was one of W.E.B Griffin's better books. I felt it spent too much time on the main character having sex, than it did on the operation. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
I was recommended W.E.B. Griffin by a former Marine. He said his stories were pretty accurate in terms how the action was and how the corps operated. I found Black Ops in a $1 bookstore and decided to pick it up. I just finished it a moments ago, and I must say, I was highly disappointed. The only action in this brick of a book was at the beginning, which only consisted of drive by shootings. The rest of the book is all diplomatic wrestling, diologue that tries to be pithy and fails, a love interest that develops from a wardrobe malfunction at the swimming pool, and the set up for action that never comes since it takes place away from the main characters. Maybe this book was the wrong one to start with, since it ends the series, but be that as it may, even his writing style didn't make me a fan. It's not horrible, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Much slower than prior books in the series - a lot of character mixing and flying around, very little action. Poorly developed love interest.
The ending didnt hold up to the strength of thr rest of the series but as a single book it was a good read. I hear there is another book out now and i will buy it too!
This is an exciting and at times complicated "spy" novel. There are so many characters and many characters are called by more than one name that it can be confusing. Enjoyable reading during a snowy winter weekend. A bit hard to believe that spies have the kind of resources that the people in this book do and that the "mainstream" spy mechanisms in our country are so bad but for this book it certainly worked. Fun and exciting....if you can keep track of all the characters.
I found this to be the most confusing jumble of characters and plot(s) that I have listened to or read. If this had been a book I would have hoped it was a paperback and I didn't pay much for it. Instead it was a CD and I had to listen to the bitter end to get my money's worth. This book was like the guy who when speaking falls in love with the sound of his own voice and doesn't know when to shut up and sit down. This was not the crisp engrossing GRIFFIN style that I had become accustomed to. There was to many characters and too much plot. I can only hope that other GRIFFIN works do not turn out to be as disappointing as this one.
"Uh what?"
Enjoy Griffin All of his characters
The book is a great read, however as usual B&N overcharges significantly as it does with many of their other offerings. I will most likely get rid of the Nook.

Samsung To Use Intel Atom Processor In Its New 10" Tablet [REPORT]
May 20, 2013
By Marie Cabural
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) could capture a significant share in the tablet market with its new 22nm based "Bay Trail" atom processors, which will be launched by the company in the second half of 2013, according to analysts at JP Morgan Equity Research.
Intel Corporation
The analysts believe that the launching of the Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)'s Bay Trail atom processor might negatively affect the ARM processors market share for tablets.
They also cited a report from AndroidOS.in that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) might be using Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)'s Atom Z2560 Clover Trail + processor in its new 10-inch Android tablet.
JP Morgan analysts Sandeep Deshpandee, Chetan Udeshi and Vipul Hirani cited that if the report is true, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) will potentially benefit from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) as the company is perceived to capture a meaningful share in the Android tablet market.
According to the analysts, "We note than Atom Z2560 contains Imaginatio's PowerVR SGX 544MP2 GPU and thus, this potential win for Intel would also be positive to Imagination's royalty units/revenue."
Shares of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) are trading around $24.07 per share on Monday.
Meanwhile, JP Morgan analysts noted that the semiconductor business continues to improve, citing every company present during the 41st JP Morgan Technology Conference indicated a growing rate of backlogs and orders. The analysts also cited that most companies projected a normal seasonal revenue growth in the second quarter this year.
The analysts also believe that non-tech investors have been buying shares of semiconductor companies as they look for leverage and yield. According to them, "We expect semiconductor stocks to continue to drift higher, along with consensus estimates, as long as the global economy continues
Sentiment: Strong Buy
News like this will propel INTC to $40 by end of year
This news is big. Intel is about to dominate the android tablet market
$40 by end of year shorties!
Again this is big news. A new Samsung/Intel alliance forming
