Crossdressing and Love-Bites
Last piece for my tiny erotic illustration series. She's not going to stop 'til she's got him/her covered in hickies. Also, bloomers. mmm.
Polyamorous Love Affair
I wanted to draw a three-person intimate scene. This needs some tweaks, but there you have it. Trying something new with the coloring technique. Kind of mixed-media.
Sweet Sweet Couples 1 and 2
Here are the almost-final versions of these two. THESE WERE REALLY FUN. I want to do more couples! Like same sex couples, or tall/short couples, or other contrasting couples...What kinds of couples should I do? Want me to draw you and your s/o?

Research shows that teaching to different "learning styles" doesn't help.
Music is featured in this story (at about the 3 minute mark in the story that lasts a little over four minutes):
Reader Interactions
I listened again, read the WaPo blog you linked, and then found a number of additional articles/blogs/podcasts/etc. My brief online "tour" shows me that Daniel Willingham (the cognitive scientist featured in the NPR story and elsewhere) appears to on quite a crusade to debunk learning-style theories. In that he's the cognitive scientist, and I'm not, I'll defer to his knowledge and research on the issue, especially when it comes to hard science.However, when it comes to the brain, our knowledge is far from complete, and new and surprising things are being discovered on a regular basis, sometimes contradicting what was previously "known." Therefore, I'm still of the opinion that this might not be an "all or nothing, right or wrong," mutually-exclusive issue, but one that could have shades of gray that haven't been entirely revealed. I agree that we shouldn't put too much stock in "educational fads," especially when they're not supported by research, and that we also shouldn't "pigeon-hole" students into discrete categories ("visual, auditory, kinesthetic") and treat them differently because of that. But I do still think that there are some things that are difficult to prove or disprove scientifically, and if there's anecdotal experience and evidence that indicates the effectiveness of incorporating a mixture of auditory, visual, and kinesthetic approaches in teaching, then I disagree with the "don't do it" or the "doesn't help" characterization.Not everything in life is scientific, and science isn't perfect, or "finished." We still have a lot to learn about ourselves as learners and human beings in general, and the "truth" is often somewhere in between the extremes of "it's real" and "it's bogus."
Yes, I think I'm certainly guilty of hair-splitting from time to time, Philip. 🙂 Here, I'll split one right now….I didn't say that the claim was "extreme." I characterized "claiming that teachers shouldn't account for possible learning-style differences…" as taking things to "the extreme," by which I meant that rather than a moderate position of cautioning against putting too much emphasis on the different learning styles theories, a position against any incorporation of such techniques would be an extreme postion. Was there such a claim? I'll have to listen again (and visit your link) to get the context of exactly what was meant by the "they" in "we don't recommend that they be used." If the researchers who can't find the supportive experimental research are saying "don't consider using varying instructional techniques," then that's indeed an extreme position, IMO.Again, a useful analogy might be found in religion, for if well-educated theologians suggested that we shouldn't believe in God, just because we can't scientifically prove that God exists (yet), that would be pretty extreme as well.
I understand your point but I think you are splitting hairs.
And I think you might be wrong about the claim you call "extreme":Here is the compelling quote from the story by the researcher:
"We have not found evidence from a randomized control trial
supporting any of these," he says, "and until such evidence exists,
we don't recommend that they be used."More commentary on that point here:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/answer-sheet/daniel-willingham/-my-guest-today-is.html -
No, Philip, I don't. I stand by the challenge I made, adequately explained in my previous comment. IMO, the story did *not* claim that 'Research shows that teaching to different "learning styles" doesn't help.' The focus of the story was on the lack of expermental research (which is only one type of research) proving that there are "auditory" and "visual" learners. They didn't take that any further, such as to the extreme of claiming that teachers shouldn't account for possible learning-style differences in their approach to teaching concepts/skills, and they didn't claim that such teaching "doesn't help."Perhaps our difference of opinion on this demonstrates a related brain-diversity issue, in that besides differences in the way people learn things, there are clearly differences in the way that people think and perceive the world.
You may have a problem with my lead-in, David, but it accurately reflects what the NPR story is about.This is the NPR introduction to the story:"First, we have a look with how information is absorbed in the classroom. Many educators are tailoring their lessons to the idea that kids learn in different ways. Researchers have found that there is not scientific evidence to back up that approach."NPR's summary of the story:There is no evidence to support the conventional wisdom that kids can be auditory or visual learners.Here is my lead-in:Research shows that teaching to different "learning styles" doesn't help.I think you have a bigger problem with the content of the story and maybe even NPR's spin on it – but not my lead-in.
The lead-in "Research shows that teaching to different 'learning styles' doesn't help" doesn't match what I just heard in the NPR story. What I heard was more like "a few academics claim they can't find any expermental research that definitively validate 'different learning style' theories." That's a distinction with a BIG difference! Let's apply this to religion, for example. If an article were to be found stating that no scientific evidence of the existence of God can be found, and I then tell someone that the article says "there is no God," I'd be misrepresenting the article.While I'm not a "learning styles" expert, I'm pretty sure that there's *some* validity to the concept that there are individual differences in how people *best* learn skills and/or concepts. However, where these theories (not just "conventional wisdom" as the NPR description states) probably fail when is when people make them too dichotomous (black and white, all or nothing, this or that) as is true of so many things at present. People are NOT that simple, so the proponents who go overboard with "visual learners vs. auditory learners" do just as big a disservice as those ivory tower academics who might deny that this phenomenon exists (which is not what they're doing in this story, BTW). So, move on, folks…not much to see here. There's not really much of a story in this story, and there's probably a lot of validity in applying different teaching methodologies to maximize learning for all kinds of learners, as long as it's done in a wholistic and diversified fashion, not in an "either/or" simplistic model.
The research on auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learning styles presented in this article is interesting. I have always found this approach to learning styles as ephemeral as Howard Gardner's ever growing list of intelligences in multiple intelligence theory. Both are theories with far too few in depth research studies present to either support or refute. But as in most theories they are interesting to ponder.However, the work done by Dr. Bernice McCarthy (www.aboutlearning.com) utilizing Myers Briggs research on personality is extremely interesting and quite applicable. Research substantiates the consistency of the MBTI and my experience with 4MAT and About Learning shows a strong correlation between the research of Myers Briggs and Dr. McCarthy's application of the theory to learning.I do not receive any income from Dr. McCarthy but use her online assessments in a variety of settings. I highly recommend the MBTI and the work of Dr. McCarthy at http://www.aboutlearning.com. You can take a five minute version of a MBTI type assessment at http://www.haleonline.com for free also. You will gain a great deal of insight into yourself and learn ways to create interesting instructional models without all of the warm fuzzy stuff that you find on many educators' websites. I gain no income from hale online either. I post this in the interests of transparency.

About the poet
Robert Browning was born in South London in 1812. He was largely self-educated, utilising...
How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix - an extract
I sprang to the saddle, and Joris, and he;
I galloped, Dirck galloped, we galloped all three;
'Speed' echoed the wall to us galloping through . . .
'Speed' echoed the . . .
Then the gate shut behind us, the lights sank to rest. . .
I'm terribly sorry but I can't remember me own verses, but one thing that I shall remember all me life is the astonishing [inaudible] by your wonderful invention.
[Other voices]
Bravo, bravo, bravo.
Hip, hip, hooray.
Hip, hip, hooray.
Hip, hip, hooray.
This is the full text of the poem Browning was struggling to remember:
How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix
I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he;
I gallop'd, Dirck gallop'd, we gallop'd all three;
"Good speed !" cried the watch, as the gate-bolts undrew;
"Speed!" echoed the wall to us galloping through;
Behind shut the postern, the lights sank to rest,
And into the midnight we gallop'd abreast.
Not a word to each other; we kept the great pace
Neck by neck, stride by stride, never changing our place;
I turn'd in my saddle and made its girths tight,
Then shorten'd each stirrup, and set the pique right,
Rebuckled the cheek-strap, chain'd slacker the bit,
Nor gallop'd less steadily Roland a whit.
'Twas moonset at starting; but while we drew near
Lokeren, the cocks crew and twilight dawn'd clear;
At Boom, a great yellow star came out to see;
At Düffeld, 'twas morning as plain as could be;
And from Mechelm church-steeple we heard the half chime,
So, Joris broke silence with, "Yet there is time!"
At Aershot, up leap'd of a sudden the sun,
And against him the cattle stood black every one,
To stare thro' the mist at us galloping past,
And I saw my stout galloper Roland at last,
With resolute shoulders, each butting away
The haze, as some bluff river headland its spray:
And his low head and crest, just one sharp ear bent back
For my voice, and the other prick'd out on his track;
And one eye's black intelligence, - ever that glance
O'er its white edge at me, his own master, askance!
And the thick heavy spume-flakes which aye and anon
His fierce lips shook upwards in galloping on.
By Hasselt, Dirck groan'd; and cried Joris "Stay spur!
Your Roos gallop'd bravely, the fault's not in her,
We'll remember at Aix" - for one heard the quick wheeze
Of her chest, saw the stretch'd neck and staggering knees,
And sunk tail, and horrible heave of the flank,
As down on her haunches she shudder'd and sank.
So, we were left galloping, Joris and I,
Past Looz and past Tongres, no cloud in the sky;
The broad sun above laugh'd a pitiless laugh,
'Neath our feet broke the brittle bright stubble like chaff;
Till over by Dalhem a dome-spire sprang white,
And "Gallop," gasped Joris, "for Aix is in sight!
"How they'll greet us!" - and all in a moment his roan
Roll'd neck and croup over, lay dead as a stone;
And there was my Roland to bear the whole weight
Of the news which alone could save Aix from her fate,
With his nostrils like pits full of blood to the brim,
And with circles of red for his eye-sockets' rim.
Then I cast loose my buffcoat, each holster let fall,
Shook off both my jack-boots, let go belt and all,
Stood up in the stirrup, lean'd, patted his ear,
Call'd my Roland his pet name, my horse without peer;
Clapp'd my hands, laugh'd and sang, any noise, bad or good,
Till at length into Aix Roland gallop'd and stood.
And all I remember is, friends flocking round
As I sat with his head 'twixt my knees on the ground;
And no voice but was praising this Roland of mine,
As I pour'd down his throat our last measure of wine,
Which (the burgesses voted by common consent)
Was no more than his due who brought good news from Ghent.

CC="gcc -fno-gcse" ./configure --enable-force-reg --enable-indirect-threadedThis has been tested and works on gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81).
Alternatively, use the binary package.
Alternatively, use kgcc (in the compat-egcs package on Redhat 7.1) to
compile gforth (configure with CC=kgcc configure
). Using
gcc-2.95.3 (compiled from the source) is also known to work.
We used a trick in implementing non-primitives in direct threaded code (in particular constants); this trick pushes (through CALL) and pops a value on the stack, and the compiler, being unaware of this, must not use esp between these two instructions; this worked up to gcc-2.95, either because the compiler allocated registers well enough that it did not need the stack there, or because it did not schedule its spill code up across asm statements. In gcc-3.0.4, however (and presumably starting at gcc-2.96), these assumptions do not hold in general, and Gforth breaks.
./configure --enable-force-regand/or use another gcc version (gcc-2.95 recommended)

A new film about female commandos, Female Agents, takes place in 1944 during World War II. A group of five women kick some serious Nazi ass as they snipe, machine gun, and generally destroy every fascist who has the misfortune of crossing their lovely paths. This movie will be excellent in so many ways, if the trailer is any indication of its potential for awesomeness.

An array of Turkish cheeses, fresh plump tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, an assortment of olives, sucuk (lamb sausage), tomatoes grilled with Turkish cheese, fresh thick yoghurt topped with a fruit coulis. A perfect breakfast in Istanbul with my husband.
Worth the wait 🙂 x
I love Turkish Breakfasts! Istanbul Rocks!
i'm soooo lusting after this delicious turkish breakfast — wow — i love istanbul, it is one of the greatest cities on Earth!
let's meet at the blue mosque and then go to the market for pistachios and apricots. see you there!
ps thanks for the lovely comment on the fortune cookies.
Istanbul!! Hope to hear more about your travels 🙂 Already looks yummy
I know I will one day visit Turkey. It's one of those places I just want to go to someday. Wonderful photo!
Great looking breakfast ……
ohh I loved my trip to Istanbul. It is a beautiful city.
That looks insanely delicious. Those tomatoes are so red!
I just happened to come across your blog. I'm gripped by the sentimental autobiographic stories you're telling for the past hour. I'm thrilled to find another blogger who loves hawker/street-style food as much as I do. I can't wait to try out a few recipes that have caught my eye.
I used to love having my brekky on the rooftop of our hotel in Sultan Ahmet overlooking the Blue Mosque on one side and the Bosphorus on the other…{aaah..dreaming again} 🙂
Brings back many fond memories..one of my favorite places.

Tough Times for foreign Coeds in Italy
"SLUT, you owe me 400 pounds."
"Meredith, what are you talking about."
"You used my Debit Card Amanda. I want my money back."
Meredith tried to grab Amanda but Amanda pushed her away.
"OMG Meredith, how can you say that, I didn't touch your Debit Card."
"You are a liar. Just another thieving American Tramp" Yelled Meredith.
"Whatever, I have to go to work." Amanda turned to leave.
"SMAAACCCK" Meredith caught Amanda with a hard slap across the face as she grabbed Amanda's fine brown hair. "I want my money back."
"BITCH, Let go of me you're a nut case." Amanda tried to pull away but Meredith held on.
Amanda and Meredith fell to the floor. "Bitch" Meredith yelled at Amanda, I going to
rip that pretty hair out of your head. " Meredith was on top of Amanda pulling on her hair
screaming in her face. Meredith spit on her. She spit on Amanda again.
"Fucking Thieving Whore."
"You are just a whore, pretty whore face with spit on it, sucking cock over at
the club." She Spit on her again. " Just like the cum you swallow for bucks"
Amanda reached up and grabbed and ripped Meredith's shirt. "You always
been jealous of me. Always fucking some Black dick. " "Your asshole is
probably wide open with all that black cock." Meredith pulled harder
on Amanda's hair jerking her head to the side. Amanda smacked Meredith with
the back of her hand across the face. Amanda grabbed Meredith's hair and
twisted trying to get Meredith off her. SMAAAACK. Meredith let go of
Amanda's hair but slapped her to the side of the head.
Meredith screamed as Amanda reached up and grabbed Meredith's left tit
squeezing and pinching. Catching Meredith by surprise Amanda was able to push
Meredith off her. The pair tumbled around the floor, pulling, tugging , grabbing
each other. Amanda tried to get up but Meredith pulled her down as they grappled on
the floor. Finally, Exhausted they both let go.
"I am going to work." yelled Amanda. " Stay away from me."
"Good bring me that whoring money you get."
"Rather be a whore than fucking that low life black cock you bring around."
"Tramp whore." "Sleeze, English slut." "American White Trash."
They traded barbs until Amanda finally went to her room to change
and clean up.
Amanda walked down the narrow Italian streets totally upset.
She had never been in a catfight quite like that. Hair pulling, Bitch slapping,
scratching. The anger built as she walked. She was cursing the English garbage,
she once thought was her friend. How could she judge me? Meredith gave herself to the lowest
scum she could find and she was calling her a whore?
Work was a short walk for Amanda to the bar and when she got there Patrick could see
something was wrong.
"Foxy Knoxy." "What's up babe you look all red, you have a marks on your face."
"What the hell happened to you?'
"I don't know, Meredith was acting all crazy, accusing me of stealing."
"Must be Fucking bipolar or something, I never took a thing from her, probably one of the losers
she is always fucking."
"Then she attacked me, we were on the floor for 15 minutes fighting."
"Well pull yourself together, get cleaned up, you got customers in the backroom."
"They got drinks but they are waiting for you."
How many?
"Three Guys, South American types."
"It could be."
"I can handle it. " replied Amanda in a cocky tone.
Amanda got ready in the washroom. She was obsessed with sex. Her diary was
filled with her sexual thoughts. Her toys were always close by in case a man wasn't
She had many encounters since coming to Europe but she loved working the back room
at the bar. Lots of cock. Sometimes it was rough but that was living on the edge.
The back room, where Amanda had been spending a night or two a week had a
Sofa, chairs a table, sink and a toilet. She opened the door, there were two men on the sofa and the third by the door. All three were big guys, one thin and two hefty.
"So you are Foxy Knoxy, that's what your man called you."
"Yea that's what he calls me." Before Amanda could get far in the room, the man
grabbed her by the hair.
"I am Jorge, Foxy Knoxy?, you just look like another whore."
"That's what we are going to call you, Whore."
He shoved her over by the other two men. "Get to know my friends, they
are going to get real personal with you. "
"I am Jimmy." The fat guy yelled in her face. He held her neck and kissed
her roughly on the lips. "You like that, whore?"
"Whore, do you like it?"
"Yes Sir." Amanda mumbled, trembling.
Jimmy pushed her over to Alfredo, another big thug looking South American.
He kissed and shoved her back Jimmy.
"Hey, take it easy guys." "Shut the Fuck up, Whore."
"I'm out of here." Yelled Amanda.
Jimmy grabbed her by the throat and pushed her to
her knees. "You aren't going anywhere." "Bastard, let me go."
Amanda could barely talk.
Jimmy had his pants down and waved his cock in her face.
"Whore, you are going to gag on this."
"Wait, What is that." Cried Amanda
Alfredo pushed two large plastic hooks into each side of her mouth and tied them together behind her neck
bunge cord, her mouth was held open.
" Stop this. Stop now." Amanda was barely able to speak with the hooks in her mouth.
Alfredo grabbed her by the neck. "Stop? We are just starting."
"Whore, we are going to throat fuck you till you gag, if you fight I'll break your neck."
"AHHHHGGGGHHHH" Amanda struggle to breath as Jimmy jammed himself in her
mouth and down her throat.
Amanda's face splashed in the water. Her head was dunked in the toilet bowl.
Her head pulled back out of the water she was gasping for air.
Everything appeared blurry, her memory was sketchy. It had gone on for a long time.
Alfredo had held her head while Jimmy had brutally fucker her mouth. It had been
hard to breath, the dick filling her throat. Alfredo had pinched her nose.
Amanda's face was sore and red. She ached from the wretching vomiting after the
cum filled her gut, choking her.
In the toilet bowl she could see the slimy mess of vomit and cum that washed off her face.
Alfredo flushed the toilet and as the bowl filled he shoved Amanda's face back down.
Again gasping for air she begged him not to dunk her again. Alfredo pushed her to the
couch, her head on the arm at the end. He straddled her chest leaning forward.
"Whore, let's see if you can handle this." He rubbed his dick over her sore and reddened face.
As she took his cock in her mouth she felt hands spreading her legs, pushing them up and
wide. A pillow was pushed under her butt and she could feel the man's body against hers.
"Look at me Whore." She looked up to see Alfredo, smiling leering down at her even while she
licked and sucked him. The other men were laughing talking about her pussy as one pushed his
crotch against hers.
"Whore, you are going to earn your money tonight."

This sun shade works well for the price. It is a little unwieldy to place/remove from the window. This due to its size and the fact that it isn't real flexible. However, these are also the two factors that make it work well.

He needs to be off the road until he stops drinking period.
Trapped drunk driver opens another beer as awaits rescue
AUCKLAND (Reuters) - A drunk driver trapped after overturning his car cracked open another can of beer while he waited for emergency crews to rescue him, a New Zealand court was told.
Paul Nigel Sneddon, 47, pleaded guilty to careless driving and drunken driving after being nearly three times over the legal alcohol limit in a district court in the city of Palmerston North, the Dominion Post newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Police found Sneddon, a former baker, trapped in his overturned Ford Laser on June 1, drinking a can of beer after he failed to take a corner properly and crashed through a wooden barrier, flipping his vehicle.
Defense lawyer Peter Young said that when Sneddon found he could not open the doors, "he had nothing else to do at that point, so he had another beer."
When asked by police how much he had consumed, Sneddon replied: "Plenty, I've been drinking for four days straight."
Sneddon, who is estranged from his wife, told the Wellington- based newspaper that he went on a drinking binge after losing his job at a bakery on the same day that he heard his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Judge Gregory Ross fined him NZ$1,100 (US$780) and disqualified him from driving for 10 months. It was his first offence.

Musco Center Opening
Mezzo-soprano Milena Kitic blew kisses across the footlights. Placido Domingo sang his signature "Granada" standing before the majestic grand curtain bearing his name. And, waving his baton from the orchestra pit, maestro John DeMain piped, "Champagne, everyone?"
The iconic moments just kept coming at the black-tie gala opening of the Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Center for the Arts at Chapman University. "Our new center is beyond my expectations," said William D. Hall, founding dean and artistic director, as he joined the hundreds of gala-goers attending the inaugural performance featuring Domingo, Kitic, dramatic soprano Deborah Voigt (who studied voice with Hall at Chapman in 1978) and a multitude of university alums. "Not only is it an orchestra hall, but a singers' hall. We are so thrilled!" Hall said. "We started this 21 years ago and I told (Chapman president) Jim (Doti): 'If you help me, I'll help you. Let's get something going for our students. That's what this is all about."
Resplendently dressed attendees oohed and aahed as they swept across the sprawling Bette and Wylie Aitken Arts Plaza into the state-of-the-art, 1,044-seat Julianne Argyros Concert Hall for a flawlessly executed performance emceed by the Muscos' grandson, actor Alex David. "We are so excited to have you here! Please join us outside for a Champagne toast and the grand illumination of our hall," David announced as the nearly two-hour performance came to a close. "The seeds that have been planted here tonight at the Musco are ready to grow into great things."
A NIGHT OF NOSTALGIA: With seagulls swooping over sun-dappled waters as a backdrop, patrons of the Hutchins Consort gathered upstairs at the famed Balboa Pavilion for a nostalgic "Rendezvous at the Ballroom."
Playing eight acoustically matched violins designed and created by Carleen Hutchins, musicians performed hits from the big-band era accompanied by crooner Bruce Cook. A lively rendition of the mambo spurred guests onto the dance floor, where they formed a conga line and snaked happily among dinner tables.
Why big-band tunes on violins? "When we found out this wonderful space was going to be available, we wanted to pay homage to the great music that happened here," said Panama-hat bedecked Joe McNalley, founder of the Consort in 1999. "The highlight for us is that this is the first time we've built a program around a historic structure." Decorative touches at the bay-front bash included centerpieces of vintage bathing beauty dolls and keepsake containers stuffed with saltwater taffy.
Philharmonic Society to Stage a Tented Affair
Celebrating the final concert in the inaugural Henry T. Segerstrom Legacy Series, the Philharmonic Society will stage its annual gala benefit on the future site of the Orange County Museum of Art at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
Arts philanthropist Elizabeth Segerstrom is serving as honorary chairperson.
A party in three parts sponsored by South Coast Plaza, the May 14 black-tie festivities will begin with a tented "lavish gourmet dinner and performance by pianist Rueibin Chen," say Philharmonic insiders. The feast will be followed with a concert by internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his artistic partner of more than 30 years, pianist Kathryn Stott. They will be performing works by Bach, Sibelius, Debussy, Schubert, Shostakovich and more in the nearby Reneé and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Following the performance, gala-goers will return to the tent for dessert and the opportunity to mingle with Ma and Stott.
Proceeds from the $1,000 per person soiree ($2,500 to be a sponsor with preferred seating) benefit the Philharmonic Society's youth education programs. For tickets call Jean Hsu at 949.553.2422, ext. 232, or email email@example.com.

Studying law can appeal to postgraduates for many different reasons. It may be a way of bolstering existing legal qualifications, satisfying academic curiosity or even helping with a change of career path. Whatever the reason, prospective students have plenty of options and there are courses, and institutions, to help reach all manner of legal ambitions.
Perhaps the most well-trodden path to a postgraduate qualification is the one walked by those converting to law. Some sources estimate the intake of trainee lawyers into firms is split fifty-fifty between those who studied law at undergraduate level and those who qualified via the postgraduate route.
To convert to law, students first take the graduate diploma in law (GDL), an intense course that effectively condenses the three-year law degree (LLB) into a single year if studied full-time. Then, all prospective lawyers take either the legal practice course, if they're training to be solicitors, or the bar professional training course (BPTC) for those wishing to be barristers.
The GDL (and LPC/BPTC) is taught at institutions up and down the country, at universities such as London Metropolitan, Birmingham and Liverpool John Moores. There are also dedicated law schools and colleges, including BPP Law School (with Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, London and Manchester locations) and the College of Law (Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Guildford, London and York). Full-time and part-time study options are available, depending on the institution, and distance learning may be possible. See www.lawcareers.net for a list of colleges and universities.
Although the GDL has an academic bias, it's still focused on the realities of working as a lawyer. "Students are taught using scenarios which ask them to look beyond a purely legal solution," says Angela Smith, careers manager at the College of Law, York. "Being able to think and act like a lawyer in practice is integral to the college's approach." Face-to-face tuition and workshops form the backbone of the teaching setup, she adds, as well as interactive learning tutorials that let students revisit topics after class.
Having completed the diploma, candidates begin their practical training in law in the form of the LPC or BPTC. Following this, solicitors will spend two years training in a law firm, while barristers will undertake pupillage, which Smith likens to a legal apprenticeship, within a set of chambers. Once fully qualified, solicitors may work for high-street or commercial law firms, as in-house lawyers for large corporations or charities, or even within government. Barristers may also be employed by similar organisations, but about 80 per cent go on to work in chambers.
Those with an existing undergraduate degree who wish to practice law, but find the idea of a second degree appealing instead of taking the GDL, could consider a senior status law degree (LLB Senior Status), which is offered at Cardiff University, Newcastle University and Queen Mary Law School, among others. Nothing to do with how close you are to retirement age, it is shorter than the standard LLB (two years full-time instead of three) but is still regarded as a qualifying law degree by the Solicitors Regulation Authority; see sra.org.uk for a full list of qualifying law degree providers in England and Wales. Graduates can then go on to take the LPC or BPTC to qualify as a lawyer.
If students want to pursue an academic law course at postgraduate level, they can also study for a master's qualification (LLM) in a range of subjects, from human rights to international business law. Ann Stewart, associate professor at the University of Warwick's School of Law, says: "LLMs enhance career prospects by providing evidence of more specialist knowledge and more developed transferable skills such as abilities in relation to group work, presentation, critical analysis, independent research and sustained research-led writing." The school offers an LLM in advanced legal studies and students join from both undergraduate courses and existing employment. Other institutions offering postgraduate programmes include King's College London and the University of Manchester.
Although taking the GDL followed by the LPC/BPTC may be the best-known postgraduate route to becoming a lawyer, it's not the only option. An alternative path, recognised by the Ministry of Justice, is to become a legal executive: a qualified lawyer who specialises in a particular area of law instead of covering a broad range of disciplines as a solicitor does. It is still possible for legal executives to qualify as solicitors; you can contact the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) for information or see www.ilex.org.uk. ILEX trains legal executives at some 90 accredited colleges throughout the country.
Candidates with no previous legal training study for academic qualifications, usually part-time, in addition to completing five years of qualifying employment in the legal field. This might be working in a law firm as a legal secretary or paralegal, for example, supervised by a legal executive, solicitor or barrister. Students often try to carry out their studies and qualifying employment at the same time.
Law graduates might be interested in the graduate fast-track diploma offered by ILEX, a nine-month course that can act as an alternative to the LPC or BPTC. "It's designed as a flexible course to enable law graduates to start earning as soon as possible," says Paul Hutchinson, ILEX public relations and press officer.
The legal executive route allows candidates to qualify as a lawyer (but not a solicitor) without the need for the two-year training contract or pupillage, and Hutchinson argues that specialising during training doesn't limit legal executives in practice. He says: "It's incredibly rare to find [a solicitor] doing both company and partnership work, or family practice and personal injury. The fact that ILEX students specialise early is just a reflection of the legal environment."
The amount of time and money candidates spend on different postgraduate qualifications can vary hugely. What remains constant is the competition for training contracts, pupillages and jobs at the end. Smith believes students need to do as much as possible to enhance their CVs while still training. "Probably the most valuable activity a law student can do is pro bono work," she says. This unpaid legal "volunteering" ticks many boxes, she adds, showing "a commitment to practical legal activity that is useful to the community" and offering the chance to network with practising solicitors while developing professional skills.
However, as in many fields, having legal qualifications doesn't limit graduates to the law. Although law-related jobs such as clerks, legal secretaries and paralegals are all options beyond the traditional solicitor and barrister roles, many businesses are attracted to the analytical skills and commercial acumen developed by legal training. Smith cites a student who used his legal skills to work as a fire-eater, drawing up employment contracts and insurance provisions, before getting a training contract with a law firm. You might not share that particular burning ambition, but there are many legal roads for postgraduates to consider; deciding on the most appropriate path for you, and gaining some practical skills along the way, could lead to a bright career.

Elena and Me
True Story, Asian, Consensual Sex, First Time, Male/Female, Romance
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Tue 29th of March 2011
My first time with my longtime girlfriend Elena. We are both Korean. And i made a reference about 'my cousins' because i have fucked 2 of my cousins in my life (read Jane and Me)
I joined my school's Asian club my freshman year in college. Initially, I didn't want to go, but went to make it more comfortable for my roommate who had wanted to make some more friends. We met the different people in the club and I was surprised to meet so many attractive girls. Almost all of them were very ditsy and talked in a 'cute' voice. As time went by, I integrated myself into the club and had grown close to many people. One girl in particular was Elena. She was the same year as me, and we had got to know each other as the semester rolled on. By the end of our freshman year, we started dating.
Elena was a very conservative girl and had a very traditional upbringing (she was Korean and had very strict parents). As I had gotten to know Elena, I had found out that she had been sexually assaulted as a child and had been traumatized by the event. As a result, she hadn't trusted many guys and I was her first boyfriend.
Ever since I first had sex, I had developed an insatiable hunger for it. However, because Elena meant a lot to me, I didn't take any opportunity to fuck her, and as the months went by, we fell more in love with each other.
On our one year anniversary, we spent the whole day together. We started the day going to the spot we went to on our first date, walked around the park, and had a romantic dinner. I dressed in a nice suit, while she wore a black spaghetti strapped blouse. After dinner, we started to watch The Notebook in my dorm room. We were watching the movie on my bed and Elena had snuggled her way on my chest while I held her in my arms. Throughout the movie, she would give me a loving look and I would respond with a kiss.
As the movie went on, I gave her a more passionate kiss. We had made out many times before, but this was different. Elena pushed me away and stared directly into my eyes; just gazing into chinky, brown eyes was enough to melt any worries and forget every other love I ever had in my life (including my cousins). I'm not sure how long we gazed into each others' eyes, but Elena looked away first. She licked her lips and we started to kiss much more passionately than we ever had. "I think I've fallen in love with you Elena." I said. She gave a soft and innocent laugh. "I think I fell in love with you too Jon." This was the first time I had proclaimed my love for her.
We began to kiss again, but this time, she started to unbutton my shirt. Quickly, I broke the kiss. "Look… I don't want to hurt you." "How would you hurt me?" "I don't want to do this if you're not ready." She gave me a soft smile and said, "I love you… and I trust you." I paused. I looked into her eyes again and saw her brown, loving eyes look back. "I love you too…so much." I started to kiss her neck as she continued to unbutton my shirt and took off my shirt. She stretched out her arm and started to feel my pecs. She ran her fingers from my chest down to my abs; feeling every crease along the way. When she reached my waist, she started to unbuckle my belt. "Wait…" I said. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she looked up at me and almost guiltfully down on the sheets of my bed. After several seconds of contemplation, "Yes…I really do." She said with a shy smile. She unbuckled my belt and unbuttoned my pants. I took my pants off and I was down to my boxers; my 6 inch cock had been fully erected; a fact she had already noticed. She looked down at my cock, which was pushing my boxers, trying to get free. She gave another shy smile and started to take off the spaghetti straps. Her shoulders were both free. I could see her peach-colored skin shine as she slowly took off her blouse. This was the first time I had ever seen her flat stomach
She was down to her black bra and panties. This time, I reached over and unhooked her 32C sized bra. When I took it off, it revealed her erect, pink areolas. She shyly smiled again, almost looking ashamed. "What's wrong?" I asked. She responded, "You got such a great body…but mine" I cut her off. "There's nothing wrong with your body, you are so beautiful…I love you for you, not because of your body." I responded. She leaned over and kissed me; her erect nipples rubbed against my sternum. As we kissed, our tongues lapped against each others' just like a dog's tongue laps when it drinks water. I started to feel up her titties, remembering to go slow. She let out a low-pitched moaned. "It tingles." She said. I smiled and kissed her again. This time, she used her free hand to go under my boxers and grab a fist full of cock. "Wow it's so big!" she exclaimed. My cock started to throb; she could feel my heartbeat through it.
I took off my boxers and she gazed at my erect cock with awe. She seemed scared, whether it was because of her previous experiences or because it was her first time at consensual sex, I didn't know. I gently told her to lie back onto the bed. From there, I took off her damp, wet panties and positioned myself on top of her; my throbbing cock was only a few inches from her hairy pussy. Again, I stopped and had to make sure that she was willing to give herself to me.
'Yes'. She answered, this time more confident. We started another passionate kiss and finally my hard cock reached her pussy lips. "Okay…here it goes." I said as I slowly inserted my cock inside her. Elena let out a sharp breathe as my cock split her pussy lips and entered into her body. As I continued to push myself into her, she let out a semi-painful and semi-pleasurable moan. "UH it's so big!" she said. Eagerly, I started to push a bit faster into her cunt. "Ughh! Go…go slower." She said. I slowed down and pushed the full length of my rock hard cock into her tight pussy; it had felt like she had already came, the pussy walls were just so tight. I started to pull out my cock; the motion of my cock coming out of her resulted in a loud moan. "Are you okay?" I asked. She slowly nodded and I pushed in my cock into her again.
I pulled my cock in and out of Elena until her pussy had loosened up a little more. "Is it okay if I go faster?" I asked. "Yeah…just don't go to fast". I quickened my pace. Our breaths shortened and Elena seemed to be enjoying it more and more. She tilted her head back onto the bed again; she no longer felt pain, but pleasure. She moaned as I rode on top of her. I felt her body start to convulse; she started losing control of her hips. "Ohh my God!" she yelled, enjoying sex for the first time.
I quickened my pace once again. I could feel my orgasm rising. Elena started to thrust her body upwards towards mine. Finally her body could no longer handle it and with a loud yell, her pussy contracted onto my cock; I felt the heat from her pussy and its juices surround my penis. At this point I couldn't hold it any longer; my cock exploded inside her pussy. Elena let out a loud scream as her pussy ate all 10 loads of my cum.
Convulsions took control of her body as she experienced pure pleasure for the first time. I took out my wet, softening cock out of her body, hoping that she would regain control of her body. She let out a pleasure-filled moan as her hips twitched. After a period of time, she still laid there spasming. I decided to lick my fingers and massage her magnificent clit. At the top of her lungs, she yelled out another pleasurable scream as her small, brown eyes widened. She grabbed a strand of her black, shoulder-long hair and put it in her mouth as she tried to muffle her scream.
Convulsions regained control of her body as my cock started to harden once again…..

pretty easy, not all upgrades are needed, I'm a fan of upgrading games so not being able to utilize them all was a bit disappointing. there are some buggy platforms, some of of them make the player fall through when jumped on.
other than that, it was good. reminded me of Doodle Jump, one of my favorite iOs games.
I thought it was pretty decent. A little bit too easy for my Taste, and no Diversion in Enemydesign made it pretty bland to play. But on the other Hand i loved the Graphical Style and the Music is stuck in my Head - and after all i finished the Game - so you did the Things a Game needs right. It hooks. Nitpicking back and forth can't change that.
This was a pretty good game, i like the fresh feel and smooth element you brought into this that was anice addition, I love the world you created for this though, The game was hard at times maybe thats an area you can make it easier for users and such, The game was fun and i like all the medals you should think about adding moremedal options though, So while i liked this flash there are some good and bad about it, i went over it abit but have suggested some more ideas below hope it helps, its not major but could use more of the effort on little stuff here and there, anyways hope it helps as this was actually a pretty good flash. So anyways good luck on your next piece i really enjoyed this though. Hope to see more of your work soon.
There are some improvments that could be made, here are a few suggestions, some effort on your side will only make this even better. So give these options a try, Such as some easier options for players, and some more detail in the graphics and art.
So overall this was actually a pretty good flash, there were a few things that could be better as suggested above, but overall it was pretty good,

Product Description
Pair of TMI Ratcheting Tilt Headrests for 2010-2012 GT and GT500 Mustangs.

These headrests can also be raised or lowered to 5 different vertical positions.
Made from vinyl, these headrests are an excellent match in color, grain and stitching for 2010-2012 GT and GT500 Mustangs with the optional Premier Trim, SOHO smooth grain leather upholstery, which has the vertical contrasting stripe in the center of the seat. No tools are required for installation.
Choose from Black with Black stitching (California Special correct), Black with Blue stitching, Black with White stitching or Brick Red with White stitching.
*Cloth is not available.
*Not for V6s.
*Not for GTs with the factory Fury heavy grain leather upholstery.

A flint arrowhead. A brass astrolabe. An iron railway spike. All objects bearing witness to a story of conflict, struggle and loss, but also one of accomplishment, success and hope. Welcome to the new Canadian History Hall, where evidence of the past tells a tale as vast and varied as the land itself.
Occupying more than 40,000 square feet, this signature gallery will trace Canada's history from the dawn of human habitation to the present day. Authentic artifacts and stories are explored through various lenses, as visitors encounter the events, movements and personalities that have shaped our nation, and whose influence on our lives can still be felt today.
The largest and most ambitious exhibition project ever undertaken by the Canadian Museum of History, the Canadian History Hall is our gift to the people of Canada as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Construction on the Canadian History Hall is well underway. Follow the Museum's blog to get regular updates on the major project milestones.
The Hall in Numbers:
- 3 galleries
- 18 chapters that tell the story of Canada
- 65 interactive elements
- 75 maps
- 100 digital productions
- 250 custom illustrations
- 1,200 images
- 1,500 artifacts
- 15,000 years of history
- 40,000 square feet of exhibition space
- 225,000 words
The Galleries
The Hall consists of a main floor, with a mezzanine or half-floor above it. The main floor and the mezzanine are connected by a walkway at the central hub. The exhibition is divided into three galleries: two on the main level and one on the mezzanine.
The Development
Since the beginning of this project in 2012, a team of Museum's researchers, museologists and designers has been working actively with specialized advisory committees, community groups and stakeholders to help inform the exhibition's development. Feedback received from Canadians through engagement activities at the start of the project is also instrumental in shaping the new exhibition.

What about packing? What do I need for long distance move?
We've prepared a general Packing Timeline, to help you plan and prepare for your move. Depending on the size of your home, you should start packing about 2 – 4 weeks prior to your move. Whatever you do — don't leave it to the last minute! You don't want to rush when it comes to packing your belongings. Give yourself time to do it right.
What needs to be boxed? And where do I get boxes?
All loose belongings need to be boxed. This even includes more challenging items like paintings, TVs, lamps, mattresses and box springs. They all need to be protected. You can purchase clean, new boxes from Moishe's that are double-corrugated for extra strength and available in special sizes that make it much easier and safer to pack your belongings. We suggest that you call your relocation consultant to schedule the free delivery of your boxes and other packing materials. For prices and sizes, see our Supply Closet. Before you start packing, it's important to know how many boxes your move will require. This will help you budget your time and money. Use the chart below to help you estimate.
Moishe's Long Distance Moving and Packing
Unlike a local move, long distance moves require extensive planning. Interstate and international moves require loads of paperwork, research and planning. You will want to start planning months in advance and choose a long distance moving company with resources all over the nation, such as Moishe's Moving.
How will you be charged for long-distance moving?
The Elements of Pricing
Long-distance moving companies base their pricing on the following elements. Moishe's Moving Systems offers you the greatest value for your money in all five areas:
- Weight: After the truck has been loaded, the mover weighs the truck at a government-regulated weigh station. The long-distance rate (called a tariff) is regulated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHA).
- Distance: Based on those basic rates, a mover may offer discounts to customers. These may be based on destination, if the start or end point of the move is one to which the company may travel on a regular or frequent basis, or they may be seasonal to encourage business during slower times of the year.
- Packing and Materials: The cost of boxes and other packing materials provided by the mover. For more details and information on materials, refer to our Packing Materials section.
- Valuation/ Insurance: A basic fee to cover your belongings in case of any damage that occurs during your move. We encourage you to visit our section on Valuation Coverage for more details.
- Accessorial Charges: The tariff also applies to "accessorial" charges by long-distance moves. Some of these extra charges could include the cost of fuel and worker's compensation, which may vary from state to state.

The House and Senate seem to be competing for a dubious prize as the midterm elections approach: Who can work less?
Like a divorced couple, the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-led Senate rarely seem to be in the same place at the same time. Senators returned to Washington this week from a weeklong recess only to find their lower chamber colleagues had already skipped town after a holiday-shortened, two-day workweek of their own.
"In the 21st century, two legislative bodies can't coordinate their schedules so that we're actually working in tandem? That's just, to me, absurd," said Rep. Gerry ConnollyGerry Connolly3 years after Crimea, US struggles with response to Russia House Oversight grills law enforcement on facial recognition tech Overnight Cybersecurity: White House says Trump confident DOJ will hand over wiretapping evidence | Dems push for surveillance law reform MORE.
The Northern Virginia Democrat said the lack of coordination between the House and the Senate on a matter as mundane as their legislative schedules was "another sign of the dysfunction of the institution right now."
Aside from last-minute fiscal and tax deals brokered by party leadership, bipartisan accords between the House and Senate have been rare the last three years. And when they do occur, they usually do not result from formal House-Senate conference committees, Senate historian Donald Ritchie noted.
"The work that they do doesn't have to be done at the same time, necessarily," Ritchie said of the two chambers. "There isn't a lot of reason for them to be in session at the same time."
When lawmakers announced a recent bicameral breakthrough on a job training bill, for example, the members noted that much of the work was done by staff who stay in Washington while their bosses are back in their districts.
For decades, Congress has taken more frequent breaks during election years so lawmakers have more time to campaign back home, and this year is no different. Through the end of May, the House had been in session for just 57 days, according to the official calendar posted by Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorPaul Ryan sells out conservatives with healthcare surrender A path forward on infrastructure Democrats step up calls that Russian hack was act of war MORE (R-Va.). Weeks are typically compressed into two or three full days, with the first votes of the week not occurring until Monday or Tuesday evening and last votes coming by noon on Friday, if not earlier.
The House will have a busy schedule over the next two months, working in the Capitol for seven of eight weeks beginning June 9. But after the end of July, the House is scheduled to be session just 27 days until the end of 2014. Lawmakers will return to their districts for their regular August recess and for all but two days in October — the month before they face voters.
The Senate's official calendar lists more days, but in practice, senators are out of town as much or more often than their House colleagues. Despite occasional threats, Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidRepublican failure Senate about to enter 'nuclear option' death spiral Top GOP senator: 'Tragic mistake' if Democrats try to block Gorsuch MORE (D-Nev.) rarely schedules votes on Fridays, and many days when the Senate is technically meeting, it is in merely pro forma sessions.

In a floor speech in January, McConnell bemoaned the Senate's frequently short weeks in Washington and pledged to keep senators in the town longer to foster more bipartisan work.
"We have to learn how to put in a decent week's work on the floor again, because another thing we've lost around here is an appreciation for the power of the clock to force consensus," McConnell said. "The only way 100 senators will truly be able to have their say, the only way we'll be able to work through our tensions and disputes, is if we're here more."
Of course, pledges from the minority party are common, but the recent record of keeping those promises is inconsistent at best.
House Democrats kept long hours in the initial years of their majority in 2007-2009 only to tail off as their electoral prospects sank in 2010. And the House GOP majority has occasionally waived its rule requiring legislation to be posted publicly on three calendar days before a vote.
Yet House Republican leaders have largely stayed true to their promise to make the floor calendar more consistent and predictable, making it easier for lawmakers to schedule meetings and hearings and for those from far-flung districts to book their flights to and from Washington. There are fewer last-minute changes under the GOP majority, and votes are less likely to occur late at night.
Cantor has also sought to schedule recesses — or "district work periods" in the congressional vernacular — once every three weeks when possible. That has allowed members more regular time back home, but has also led to complaints that it stymies progress on legislation.
Negotiators on the bipartisan House immigration group last year frequently cited the need to return to their districts during recesses as a reason why their work dragged on for months. The group ultimately broke up after the August recess and never released its bill.
Cantor spokeswoman Megan Whittemore said the floor schedule has not prevented the House from stockpiling more than 200 bills that are now awaiting action in the Senate.
"Instead of making excuses, it's time for Harry Reid and Senate Democrats to take up some of the House passed bills to get America working again," Whittemore said.
A Reid spokesman did not return requests for comment.
Complaints about the House and Senate also overlook an open secret in Washington: With Congress as unpopular as it has ever been, members of both parties want to be in their districts as much as possible, lest they be criticized for "losing touch" with their constituents.
Lawmakers insist the word "recess" is a misnomer and that they work as long or even longer hours back home, meeting with constituent groups and helping people navigate the federal bureaucracy to access benefits or services.
"It's basically one of the redeeming parts of working in the Congress right now, particularly since nothing gets done on the legislative side," Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) said. "The fact of the matter is right now I feel more gratified by what I do in the district."
