So my buddy Paul "Kamran"--who I guess if following in Kelly "Vivion" of Juniper Lane's footsteps with the nomenclature revisionism--played out for the first time in 8 years in a non-Artomatic setting at a place called the Laughing Lizard Lounge in Old Town last Friday, and he sounded GREAT. A modest crowd of mostly Wonderjack fans warmed up appreciably to Paul's solo w/laptop set which hit on the lion's share of his new music and included covers of Rufus Wainwright's "California" and the Postal Service's "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight." His songs "...For California", "Rosary" and "Pure" sounded espesh tight, and we can't wait to hear this stuff with the full band.
Paul would be the musical zenith of an evening that also included the Exit Clov CD release shindig at La Chat Noir. My review of that show is up at DCist. Long story short, the sound at La Chat shat, big time. 'Twas shocking, really, the subcompetence. Here's my open letter to the Black Cat: Guys? Really. If you all can't commit yourselves to a sound mix that improves upon the Staccato Lounge, then do us all a fucking favor and don't even come to work that night. I mean, what are you all good for if you can't get it up for your patrons, at least offer us a semblance of professionalism? Friday night, you all were tragic fucking jokes. So, next time, just leave a little paper sign on the door that says, "Keep your cover, the Staff of the Black Cat has decided we can't be fucking bothered tonight."
Now, the Black Cat cannot be blamed for the awfulness that was the Human Marvels. In fact, the one allowance I'll make for the shitty, piss-poor stupidity that was the sound mix for Exit Clov is that the Human Marvels were, in fact, horrific enough to detune a normal person's ears. Catherine at Unrequited Narcissism has got these clowns scattered smothered and covered on her site, so I'll only add this--what up with all the motherfuckers who clearly broke their necks to see thsi dreadful band? I mean, DC, you were INTO those guys! Has the community gotten to the point that you'll show up and adore anything with a whiff of celebrity? Seriously, what was the attraction? I was deflated by the armies of the easily impressed I saw that night.
Saturday morning and it was time to wash the bad, bad memories out of my head. Wife of DCeiver and I headed to The Diner for some brunchola. The weather was nice enough that some of the places, like La Fourchette, had peeps eating outdoors, but we thought it still too cold. We ran into Randy Baker and Deb Sivigny, who were returning from the Falafelhouse, as well as the Castle Fun Boys--Mark, Michael and Brent at Tryst. Brent was testing out his new PowerBook, and had some seriously disturbing pics of some Peruvian child who was essentially born as a mermaid--with her legs fused togethers. Thalidomide, anyone? At least I wasn't thinking about the Black Cat anymore.
The DCeiver has fallen hard this weekend for the following music. First off, thanks to the Blower of the Informational Leaves for the hookup on an old Harvey Danger tune that's just perfect and lovely: "Pike Street/Park Slope." Harvey Danger is best remembered for their song "Flagpole Sitta" by the masses, but I wouldn't dismiss them as a one-hit wonder--as Wife of DCeiver cautions: "they can write some damn good lyrics." Go to KG's site and grab the tune. Then, go to Teaching the Indie Kids to Dance Again and download the three songs they have by Electric 6--all are fantastic, espesh "Jimmy Carter".
Also, I have been listening and relistening to Bright Eyes' Digital Ash In A Digital Urn. DIg those laptop beats that Conor is jacking. The critical consensus seems to be running against Digital Ash--most seem to prefer the simultaneous release I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. All I can say is that if that's the case, then Wide Awake had better inflate my balls to size of chihuahuas to impress me beyond what I'm hearing on Digital Ash.
Of course, this weekend was also the Superb Owl, as my friend Tracy calls it. Wife of DCeiver was off to root on the Iggles on HDTV while I as a member of the Theatre Community, had rehearsal. We are, after all, Godless gay communists who prefer buttsex and Monty Python recitations to football! Actually, all kidding aside, we watched it on a cute little TV that looked like R2D2's head. Strangely, all of us in The Scarlet Letter were swept up in the Boston setting and supporting the Patriots. (Sorry, Philly. This Skins fan has a three-word philosophy toward the Eagles, which is "Eagles" preceded by "Screw the..." Sorry. It's nothing personal.)
[I also have another political column up on DCist from this weekend, if'n you wanna check it out. And I'm just as distraught over the death of Ossie Davis as you are. A real loss to the acting AND political community, to say nothing of the Howard University Alumni community. He'll be missed. Spare some kind thoughts to Ruby Dee today.]

A FIRE chief whose brigade urged motorists to avoid driving in flood waters
had to be rescued after driving into the deluge himself.
Nigel Hutchinson was en route to a meeting when his 4×4 BMW X5 became stuck.
He came a cropper after the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service he heads
asked drivers to be wary.
Dave McCabe, the brigade's head of policy and protection, said Mr Hutchinson
was driving between Easingwold and Boroughbridge last Thursday when he came
across some standing water.
He said: "The water was quite shallow – I think it was only a few inches deep
– and other vehicles which weren't 4x4s were getting through OK and so he
drove through.
"I think it was a reasonable assessment to make, but unfortunately, his
vehicle broke down. I think it was a mechanical defect which may have been
exacerbated by flood water.
"He got on his fire boots and walked to the side of the road, and I understand
he called a colleague, who came to pick him up and take him to the meeting."
He added that a recovery firm was called in to take the vehicle away, so there
was no need for firefighters to assist.
Asked if Mr Hutchinson was embarrassed by what had happened, Mr McCabe said:
"I don't know how he feels but if it happened to me, I would feel the irony
of it."

If you had a choice between Zac Efron or Seth Rogen joining your cubicle, it's probably no contest. (Rogen, right? Totally.) The Neighbors costars collaborated with the men of Workaholics to promote their upcoming film, and the results are just about the funniest thing you'll see all day. Rogen and Efron get a little competitive about who's got the best vibes, Efron gives Adam a sexy lap dance (much to Anders's chagrin), and Efron shows off his "gorgeous" assets. Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. It's no wonder Workaholics is one of our favorite Comedy Central shows and that we're counting the days until Neighbors is released! (22 days.)

For most people, bee and wasp stings are a pain – literally – but for people with venom allergies, getting stung can have serious, and even life-threatening, consequences. But from wearing the right colors to clearing out clutter, there are simple avoidance steps you can take to prevent the flying insects from setting up shop around your home, and to deal with the unwanted intruders if they have barged in.
For answers on bee and wasp safety, we turned to Stoy Hedges, senior technical professional and entomologist with Terminix, as well as the AAAAI's stinging allergy guidelines.
|Yellow jacket
|Honey bee
• There are dozens of varieties of stinging insects, from honeybees to yellow jackets to fire ants.
• The biggest nuisances for homeowners are paper wasps and yellow jackets because they set up shop in voids in the walls of houses or other protected cavities. Hornets tend to build nests on walls or in trees or shrubs.
• Bees have a gentler reputation but still pack a powerful punch – and yes, bumblebees do sting.
• Backyards are the perfect place for bees, wasps and other stinging insects because they can usually find water, food, shelter and flowers which attract them.
• Some stinging insects set up shop for the year; others remain year after year.
• Once you are exposed to the venom of a particular stinging insect, you can become sensitized to it, and some venoms can cause serious allergic reactions.
Stinging Insect Allergies: Reactions and Protection
• Many bees and wasps don't create holes themselves; they just use cavities that they find.
• Social wasps such as yellow jackets, hornets and honeybees will make nests that house hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of workers – and some, such as the Africanized honeybee, can be triggered to sting en masse by loud vibrating noises such as leaf blowers and lawn mowers.
• It's a myth that all bees can only sting once then die. This only applies to honeybees.
• Honeybees can set up for years at a time, and will sometimes split colonies, which can lead to swarms.
• Bumblebees and honeybees have different venom, and so each requires a specific extract for treatment.
• Yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps feed on human foods, and they're especially attracted to sweet food. That's why they tend to hang out near garbage cans, leftover food, or at outdoor events where food and soft drinks are served.
• Most stings only cause localized pain and swelling, but in a person who has a specific insect allergy, they can cause systemic reactions. Anaphylactic sting reactions account for approximately 40 deaths per year in the United States. (Read more on reactions here.)
• Potentially life-threatening insect stings occur in 0.4 to 0.8 percent of children and 3 percent of adults.
• Sometimes to access nests in walls, pest control pros will need to drill small holes, then spray pest killer; when it's honeybees, they sometimes have to open entire walls to remove the honeycomb and dead bees. In extreme cases, a beekeeper may be called in to remove the honey and the hives.
• If you have ever had a significant reaction to a sting, speak to your doctor about whether you require an epinephrine auto-injector and a referral to an allergist. If the device is required, be sure to carry it at all times.
• If you are diagnosed allergic, ask your allergist about immunotherapy (often called "allergy shots") for insect venom. This therapy is strongly recommended as it has been shown to be up to 90 percent effective.
• Around your home, keep trees and shrubs thinned out and cut back from the structure, and seal up exterior holes and cracks.
• Fill in any rodent holes or mole tunnels, or other void spaces such as hollow logs or gaps in stone faces in the yard so insects can't build nests in them. Also watch out for wasps under sheds, in crawl spaces, in chimneys, etc.
• Always be aware of your surroundings when you're outside, and take note if you see bees, wasps, or other stinging insects flying in and out of a particular spot in the garden or house.
• Be careful when opening your grill for the first time in spring, or opening the door on an outdoor electrical box, as there can be a nest, and that's often when people get stung.
• If you're allergic to stings, wear long pants and long sleeves whenever possible. Also make sure to tell friends and neighbors about your allergy, and show them how to use your epinephrine auto-injector in case you get stung, and get wear a medical identification bracelet.
• Ask anyone with allergies to stings to stay indoors when a nest is being removed.
• If you're allergic and do get stung, get away from the insect quickly, as they can sting multiple times. Use your epinephrine and seek emergency medical attention.

Throwing in the towel? For nervous investors looking for a place to park their cash until this market maelstrom blows over, some options are better than others.
Yields on cash haven't been good for a long time, but in recent months, some banks have souped up their offers. Some checking accounts now tout interest rates up to around 3% and money market accounts as high as 1.15%. Meanwhile, roughly a dozen banks recently revamped their certificates of deposit by eliminating penalties on early withdrawals and allowing interest rates to rise for those consumers who stay locked in.
For the banks, it's been a campaign to win back savers. Now, with the stock market in free-fall and bonds also risky, near-cash investments look like one of the few remaining safe havens for consumers. At this point, says Jeff Sica, president and chief investment officer at Sica Wealth Management, "You're really playing the game not to lose." In that environment, a small, guaranteed return and the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (up to $250,000 per person, per institution) can look pretty attractive. Also, consumers can get additional coverage by having a separate joint account as well as a retirement account, which are insured separately.
The rates are certainly higher than simply letting cash sit in a brokerage account -- which is what happens automatically after you sell a position, until you give further direction. Typically, those so-called sweep accounts -- where brokerages park investors' cash and money derived from sales or stock dividends that aren't reinvested, for example -- pay far less than a bank account. At Vanguard, for example, where the cash is placed in money market funds, investors earn just 0.02%. The accounts are convenient -- no money transfer required, and deployable at will -- but for large amounts or long periods of time, investors can find higher rates elsewhere.
Of course, even now, most advisers don't recommend a knee-jerk flight to cash. Usually that's the kind of behavior that loses money for investors over the long term: Selling into a falling market and buying only when prices come back up is the very opposite of "buy low, sell high." And over the longer term, rates on most bank checking and savings accounts are too low to keep up with inflation, which is running at about 3.6% over the past 12 months. Investors who park their cash in these low-yielding accounts won't lose it but that money is unlikely to grow at a pace that keeps up with inflation. Historically, only market gains over the long term have done that.
For those still looking for a temporary holding tank, here are the options:
In recent months, dozens of banks have rolled out a fresh take on the CD by eliminating their least popular features: steep early withdrawal penalties and locked-in interest rates. For example, Bank of America and PNC Bank now offer CDs where consumers can withdraw their cash when they'd like without a fee. And investors don't have to feel anxious about missing out if rates rise: In June, Ally Bank introduced a four-year CD that lets customers raise the interest rate to match the bank's current offer twice during the term. In May, Sovereign Bank rolled out a CD on which the rates rise about 0.4 percentage point every year.
Of course, to get the best rates on CDs, investors still have to commit to the old headaches: longer maturities and early-withdrawal penalties. Though there are better offers, the average yield on a one-year CD is just 0.44% compared to 1.61% on a five-year CD. And even with the newer options, banks' rules vary. Even some of the most liquid CDs limit the timing and frequency of withdrawals.
Rewards Checking Accounts
While many large banks are winding down their checking account rewards programs, many local institutions, including community banks and credit unions, are offering appealing yields to the tune of 3%. That's the case at Union Center National Bank, Atlantic Coast Bank and Raritan Bay Federal Credit Union. That's by far the highest yield offered for a principal-guaranteed product now, says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
But this deal is really intended for consumers who use their checking accounts often. To get this yield, checking account holders typically have to make a mixture of around a dozen debit card transactions per month, a certain number of direct deposits or withdrawals. Also rewards generally don't apply to more than $25,000 of deposits, says McBride. This is probably the best option for people who want to keep some cash at the ready.
Money Market Accounts
The yields aren't the best, but for flexibility and ease, this is the best way to go, says McBride. Money market accounts rarely require a minimum balance or impose monthly fees. Some of the highest yields can be found at online banks, including Sallie Mae, Ally Bank and Discover Bank where they range from 1% to 1.15%. But banks are also increasingly offering sweet deals, especially for consumers with large balances.
The catch: Unlike the yields on CDs, which are guaranteed, rates on money market accounts can drop whenever the bank chooses to adjust them -- sometimes as often as each month -- so today's appealing yield may not be so attractive tomorrow.

Update: new SMS alerts will be at #KoreaEmergencySMS
This post has become unexpectedly popular, but it's hard to update in real-time. Whenever I get an alert, I'll post info about it on my Twitter as soon as I can. So if you got an alert and you have no idea what it says, check here. I might have posted something about it:
But bear in mind that I am near Seoul so I don't get every single alert for around the country. You can follow the Korean National Emergency Management Agency on Twitter to get most of these alerts anytime for almost any part of the country. I suggest blocking their retweets if you don't want your feed flooded.
You can also find an archive of emergency broadcast messages here: 긴급재난문자< 재난상황정보< 뉴스/알림< 국민안전처 대표 홈페이지. That site also reveals the exact cities/areas/regions targeted by each message.
Sample real life Korean SMS Alerts
2016-09-19 Earthquake aftershocks
|Image: Twitter user nd_dutch
Once again, I didn't receive this alert as I'm not located in that area (I'm up in the Seoul suburbs), but since earthquakes are such rare events here (or they were until this month!) I wanted to add this one to the collection. It reads 경북 경주시 남남서쪽 11km1 지역 규모4.5 지진발생/여진 등 인전에 주의바랍니다. Just warning people to be careful around Gyeongju, Gyeongsan-bukdo from earthquake aftershocks. A 4.5er, wow. These earthquakes are leaving serious damage to people's homes and leaving roofs exposed open: Earthquakes leave many in Gyeongju exposed-INSIDE Korea JoongAng Daily
2016-09-12 Earthquake!
I didn't get any SMS alert for this one, but Reddit user a_consultant received one. I've never known an earthquake in Korea, so that was pretty interesting. This message just gives basic info of the earthquake centered near Gyeongju in Gyeongsan-bukdo, and warns to be careful of aftershocks.
2016-08-02 Downpour warning
This was an interesting one. I was down near the Sosa area at the time, and got this alert warning about an imminent rain shower downpour in the Bucheon city area. It warns people who are playing in streams, rivers, etc. to watch out. Sure enough, about 5~10 minutes later, a very heavy downpour started and for about 20 minutes or so it was like a flood from the sky. I can easily see how some flash flooding could occur.
This was my personal first for such a specific location warning. I've gotten warnings for Seoul city, and for the whole western coast, but nothing that fine tuned. I'm going to have to assume they're sending to all phones in a given cell area, because I've missed some that others get when I'm out of the area at the time.
Since I started collecting these here, it's probably a pretty dead giveaway that I don't travel around as much as I used to haha.
Summer of 2016 Heat Advisories
This summer felt hotter than last year, and it must have been, given all the warnings we got about heat advisories. I'll just stick them all right here. All of these are basically the same: it's going to be super hot today, old people should be careful, be careful playing in water, stay cool and hydrated, etc.
These are the days I received such warnings:
- 2016-08-21
- 2016-08-04
- 2016-07-31
- 2016-07-20
- 2016-07-08

7.8. 16시 폭염주의보
노약자 야외활동 자제, 충분한 수분 섭취, 물놀이 안전 등에 유의하세요!
2014-07-25 Storm Warning
If you don't know any Korean at all, the above might make you panic. No, North Korea is not attacking. They're just precautionary warnings. For example, the one above reads:
7월25일20시서해중부먼바다 풍랑경보, 어선은 출항을 금지하고 출항 한 어선은 신속히 대피하시기 바랍니다
National Emergency Management Agency -
This is a storm warning alert for the off-shore Central West-Sea area [or in English, the Yellow Sea] for July 25th, 8pm. Fishing boats should not depart, and fishing boats already departed should return to shelter immediately.
2014-03-14 Civil Air Defense Drill
Here's another example of one from a few months ago. This is the kind that is most common:
3월 14일 14시 민방위훈련 전국 실시, 민방공 경보 발령, 15분간 주민대피, 차량통제
National Emergency Management Agency
At 2pm on March 14th, a nationwide civil air defence drill will be issued [thus the air raid sirens you'll hear at this time]. For 15 minutes residents should seek shelter and vehicle use will be restricted.
If you've never experienced this sort of drill before, here's what you can expect:
- Air raid sirens
- People walking along the street should stop and wait patiently inside doorways, under awnings, or ideally inside.
- Cars and buses will sit idle, as intersections should be kept clear (in some areas, neighbourhood civil defence coordinators, who are often old men in armed-forced-emblem baseball caps, will stand in the intersection, yelling at people to shut up, don't move, stay calm.
If you're caught in this situation, I suggest taking it in stride and enjoying this piece of Koreana. If anything, it's nice to see the crowded, ever-traffic-logged streets of Seoul in an artificially peaceful moment.
And if you just can't get enough of these alerts pushed to your phone and want more, you can follow the Korean NEMA on Twitter:

The Monkey Puzzle Tree Backpacking Eight Months On the Road
Through South America by Bus
By David Rice
The Monkey Puzzle Tree
Page Twenty Four
The Monkey Puzzle Tree
I had a good trip out of Santiago and arrived at Valparaiso, a port on Pacific. I took a side trip to Bahia Valparaiso a town divided by steep cliffs with two levels. You go between the two levels on Los Ascensors, elevators that have been in place since the 1800s.
It rained the whole time I was there.
I went primarily to look for a freighter or any ship making the crossing to Easter Island. The freighters I found wouldn't haul passengers but the lady who ran the hostel where I stayed told me that the Chilean navy runs ships occasionally to Easter Island in the course of administering the Island. On these trips they take a few passengers she said.
I visited the navy headquarters and a navy officer took me to the port where they offered me a nearly three-week trip. I could board in two weeks and go to Easter Island. They did not intend to charge for the passage as near as I could determine.
While that was indeed a great opportunity, I wanted to reach Patagonia's parks before the December crowds. This navy trip would take too much time and I regretfully had to pass on the free trip to Easter Island.
I visited the Archaeological museum full of pre-Columbian artifacts from the Americas. While touring the museum I couldn't get Easter Island out of my mind and although I had given up on boat passage,
I decided to hunt for plane transport. I left the museum and toured downtown Santiago, stopping in a travel agency to ask about transportation. They told me that to get a good price on plane fare, I needed to book a week in advance.
I moved on, keeping this option in mind for when I returned north.
I booked a half-day train ride to Chillan Going through the wine country from Santiago going south. Chile is a lush place where the Andes mountains drain into the ocean bringing plentiful pure water to every valley. There were orange wild flowers everywhere and the fields where the flowers had established were brilliant orange.
I spent the night in Chillian because I had been reading about an unusual tree called the Monkey Puzzle Tree.
I spent the night in a private home and I had a claw foot bathtub. I filled it with steaming water and soaked in luxury. Once cleaned and dressed, I headed out to the square of Chillan to see the Monkey Puzzle Tree.
On the way I saw great produce stalls, the lush farms of Chile and the temperate spring climate brought abundant fruits and vegetables to the markets. It was now early October and the early harvests of apricots were due soon. I walked streets lined with apricot trees, not quit ripe, and cherry trees full with sweet fruit. The private home where I lodged had a full orchard where I could sample ripe cherries picked from the tree.
I found the Monkey Puzzle Tree. (Araucaria araucana) It seemed to have no relation to a monkey, however, but did have some unusual characteristics including needles of triangular shaped as stiff and sharp as a knife. Having more in common with an umbrella then a monkey, the national tree of Chile it turns out, grows plentiful in the south and from that point on I saw many groves.
Nobody, however, could tell me why the evergreen conifer with an edible seed is called the Monkey Puzzle Tree and I have yet to learn the answer.

Chris Turner, a defensive tackle who played last year at Northwest Mississippi Community College, is a crucial signee to Alabama's 2004 signing class.
"Everything has been going fine. I'm trying to finish this college algebra
class so I can get to Alabama," Turner said.
When asked if Turner had graduated, a requirement by the way, for Turner to
enroll at the University of Alabama, Turner replied, "Yes, I have
graduated. I have to take this college algebra class before I can enroll at
Alabama. I have a B in the class."
"It (the class) ends in about seven more days. When I get finished, I am
Bama bound."
Turner has been staying in contact with the Alabama coaches and said, "I
talk to Coach Woods about once or twice a week. I'm so ready to get down there.
They sent me a work-out program, and I have been working-out everyday. I'm ready
to get there so I can contribute."
Turner feels he can come in and make an immediate impact. "If I get a
chance to come in and play, I think I will prove myself to everyone,"
Turner added.
"Coach Shula is a young coach. I feel like we will all grow together. I
believe we will win a SEC Championship and be playing in a big bowl game very
soon," Turner replied when asked about the future of the Crimson Tide.

Registration Opens for 2010 PDGA United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship
Milford, MI - Registration for the 2010 USADGC presented by Discraft opened on Monday February 22, according to TD Philip Shelton.
"Qualified players should sign up quickly, since this PDGA Major is capped at 144 players," said Shelton.
USADGC has built its reputation on treating players like rock stars while providing a highly professional atmosphere. Competitors can expect benefits unlike any other Amateur event, including playing the amazing Kensington Toboggan championship course, free meals throughout competition days, a myriad of side games and prizes, tee times, clinics, a small army of spotters and volunteers, and an always impressive player pack of goodies.
2009 National Champion Blaine Kinkel of Charleston SC took the title with a one throw advantage over second place finisher Brad Frase of Michigan. "This has been without a doubt the finest tournament I've ever attended," he said after receiving cheers from the crowd for his victory. "This amazing course, the players and staff. We amateur players aren't used to being catered to, and this is really special."
"One of our most popular player pack items is a full-color custom Buzzz that each player gets with his or her name and photo on it," Shelton says. "It's delivered before the event is over, and is a very unique keepsake for our players thanks to our presenting sponsor Discraft. I'd also like to send a big shout out to our many volunteers who help to make USADGC so very cool."
At 8824 feet, the par 62 Toboggan championship course is among the top rated courses in the world and is known for its mix of large elevation changes and tight fairways that test every shot in a player's bag. The course is only open for a few weeks each year exclusively for USADGC, which also helps to negate any 'home course advantage' for local competitors.
The PDGA United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship presented by Discraft is June 11-13 in Milford, MI. Only qualified players are invited to compete. A list of qualifying events and additional information is available at www.amnationals.com.

The Toybox
About a toy box who's paint is beginning to chip off in flakes landing on a dusty wooden floor. This is his story...
The floorboards groaned as Mary took the last box out of the room, leaving a rather empty and lonesome place for dust to gather.
Today was a sad day for me...
I've been here for the whole of Mary's life. Her grandparents gave me to her, and I watched her grow up. I got to see her being raised into small child--the innocence in which she thrived in. Then, into a defiant teenager--so determined to be completely the opposite of what her parents wanted her to be, and then into a young woman--subdued and compassionate, reasonable and loyal.
I know Mary like she might know her own home--flawlessly.
I've always held a special connection with Mary. To start off, I was her favorite colors-- dark teal and copper. I've held everything that she ever thought to be significant through out her childhood, from a favorite doll, to an old ragged, and deteriorating teddy bear. I've hidden secret treasures for her, love notes and photos. I've even held onto her diary for her, filled to the page with her beautiful handwriting, and her many thoughts.
Oh, Mary had so many thoughts. She was a real thinker. I used to listen to her think aloud at night. She had such deep thoughts, as deep as the oceans. As you delve further into her mind, the pressure increased, and the light died away--leaving nothing but a heavy blackness.
I've seen many children grow up, many brilliant minds blooming. But none were quite the same as Mary's.

However, insiders say Gandhi remains instinctively wary of economic liberalisation and trimming the budget deficit.
For months, she had held out against cutting fuel subsidies that are aimed at the poor and the country's rural majority, fearing the impact on the Congress party's fortunes.
She only agreed when Singh and Chidambaram spelled out that new growth generated by reforms and improved investor sentiment would have a trickle-down effect and provide funds for welfare spending in time for elections due by mid-2014.
"They explained to Mrs Gandhi that social benefits for the poor will need deep pockets," said a Congress party source who declined to be named because the discussions were confidential.
Reuters reviewed more than 30 letters written by Gandhi to the prime minister and US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks that portray her as passionate about social issues, and attached to protecting the poor.
That means the sudden burst of reforms could be cut short if Gandhi - who Forbes magazine ranks as the world's sixth most powerful woman - sees no benefits for the rural poor on whom her party relies for votes.
Indeed, party sources said she will now focus on passing a bill on universal food security in December, a populist plan that would cost billions of dollars at a time when her government is under intense pressure to rein in spending.
"She just wants enough budgetary resources available to finance her welfare schemes," said Swapan Dasgupta, a prominent journalist and commentator who leans towards the opposition.
"She has never spoken about reforms. What she has done is make Congress think of reforms as a low priority and a political liability - she has ingrained that mindset in the party."
A request to interview Gandhi was declined.

One and the Same: A Power the Dark Lord Knows Not
October 2002
A young woman with slightly bushy brown hair was working late, trying to get rid of a couple of pro-pureblood laws so scumbags like Lucius Malfoy would not be so easily able to just donate money and get whatever they wanted from the ministry.
There was a crash outside, and some of her wards went off; there was an intruder in the outer office. She grabbed her wand from her hip holster and prepared additional shields, as well as raising some more wards on her inner office, hoping to at least slow down the intruder.
A few minutes later, and even her extra wards had failed. Four strangers entered: monk-like men with runes where their eyes should be. She threw a few stunning spells and got one of them, but the other three were still trying to attack her with their wicked knives. She sent a bat bogie hex at one, and another stunner at each of the other two.
After the battle, she had four unidentified bodies on the floor. She put each of them into separate stasis spells and wrote down the runes so she could look them up in her books and identify them. She levitated the four bodies and went down to the Department of Mysteries.
November 2002
She had not identified the runes or heard back from the Department of mysteries about the bodies, and had for the most part forgotten, as she was totally immersed in her fight against pureblood laws. Once again, she was working late, but this time, there was no ward disturbance, no attack. Now, she was just filled with a new strength, with a power and a determination like she had never felt before, not in her studies, or in her work.
Hermione Granger had been Chosen.
A/N This is a companion one shot for my story One and the Same, and there will probably be more Hermione one shots following this story, and they may at some point entertwine.

A 2006 Biopic on famous abolitionist William Wilberforce, and his fight to demolish Britain's slave trade, starring Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai and Benedict Cumberbatch.Not to be confused with Amazing Freaking Grace, the actual song.
- Amazing Freaking Grace: Wilberforce sings the title hymn in a pub, mentioning that it was written by his pastor John Newton, a reformed slave trader (adding some resonance to "a wretch like me"). The film uses the familiar tune which was actually not paired with the text until the 19th century, although since the original tune is lost to history, that's probably a justified case of artistic license.
- Answers to the Name of God: The abolitionists are surprised when Lord Charles Fox walks in unexpectedly to join their side, leading to the wry exchange:Wilberforce: Dear God!
Fox: Well, almost.
- Babies Ever After: William and Barbara.
- Beleaguered Bureaucrat: Wilberforce's entire struggle to abolish slavery is more or less this.
- Pitt tries to help out Wilberforce's cause in the House of Commons (by threatening to shoot an MP for him) but the MP more or less brushes him off. Later on, when a sick Wilberforce tries to get Pitt—now Prime Minister—to read his bill for him, Pitt says he can't openly support abolition while the revolution in France is going on. He does help out in the end, though.
- Deadpan Snarker:One of Wilberforce's supporters: I sent a note of thanks to those who voted for us.Thomas Clarkson: Oh, how sweet of you.
- Engaging Conversation: William and Barbara.
- Fiery Redhead: Barbara.
- Friend to All Living Things: Wilberforce is a bit ... extreme about having pets.
- Gentleman Snarker: Most Parliament scenes are basically a group of these having a Snarkfest Showdown.
- HeelFace Turn: Charles Fox deciding to join up with the abolitionists is quite a shocker to them."I spent 18 months being torn apart in the House by you, Mr. Wilberforce. I thought I'd find out what it feels like on your side. Any of you saints drink?"
- HeelFaith Turn: A very mild version, and Wilberforce was already against slavery beforehand, but his crusade really kicks into high gear after he finds God.
- Also the backstory of Wilberforce's pastor John Newton, who is shown to be very penitential about his past as a slave trader.
- Heroes Want Redheads
- Historical Beauty Update: William Wilberforce◊ was, unsurprisingly, not so good-looking as Ioan Gruffudd◊. And the real Thomas Clarkson◊ was, according to nearly all his portraits, slightly overweight, while Rufus Sewell was definitely not◊.
- Averted with Benedict Cumberbatch, who actually does somewhat resemble William Pitt the Younger◊.
- Historical Hero Upgrade: As pointed out in the link.
- Insult Backfire:Duke of Clarence: Revolution is like the pox. It spreads from person to person.William Wilberforce: I bow to my honorable friend's superior knowledge and experience in all matters regarding the pox.
- Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone: William and Barbara are shoved at each other at every single possible opportunity. Neither is amused. They end up together anyway.
- Lost Him in a Card Game: Wilberforce pulls out of a card game in disgust when his opponent bets a slave.
- Servile Snarker: Richard, Wilberforce's butler.
- Shaming the Mob: Wilberforce wines and dines a bunch of important people on a shipdeck, complete with a fancy music quartet, and then sails them straight past the Madagascar-a slave ship. It works.
- What You Are in the Dark: After Wilberforce first brings out his idea he's booed out of court. The after meeting has most of his family and the Quakers; however, one of the speakers comes and joins them, William Dolben, who reveals that he's been on a slave ship as part of a journey and having witnessed the cruelty on it, he supports them, but is ashamed that he cannot do it publicly because he represents a town that thrives off it. He still helps put together the Shaming the Mob example. Fox as well, as detailed in HeelFace Turn.

House in Cardoso, Asturias, Spain - Between 620 € and 1200 € Weekly (Depends On Season
Country house, 1 mile from small town and beautiful beaches. Great views, 4 double bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, the house sleeps 8(+2). It was built in 1905 and renovated in 2010, retaining the original elements and distribution of the modernist period. There are 3 bedrooms all with full en-suite bathroom, plus a spacious attic with another full bathroom, and bed-sofa which can be considered a fourth bedroom. Additionally, the first two bedrooms include a third extra bed, so the total sleeping capacity is comfortably 10. The attic has a spectacular south-facing gallery towards the mountain and a large terrace to the north, overlooking the ocean horizon. The house is fully equipped, kitchen, cupboards, heating, air conditioning, WIFI, barbecue, garden and patio in a 480 sqm lot. Being at the highest point of the rural center and facing south it enjoys privileged views and lots of light. The area is very quiet. All rooms have windows or balconies overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside. Within just 1-3 miles from the house there are some of the best beaches in Asturias - Gulpilluri , Cuevas del Mar, San Anton, and the great beach of San Antolin where you can also surf. Only 7 miles away is the Sella river, the best known in Spain for rafting, canoeing and salmon fishing. And 9 miles from the beautiful Llanes town and its golf course. This comfortable and pleasant house is an ideal base for the discerning holidaymaker to enjoy all that Asturias has to offer, providing an increasingly rare opportunity to experience a real sense of traditional Spain. Just 200 meters from the house is the coastal Pilgrim Route to Santiago de Compostela, in one of its most bucolic and well preserved portions. Only one mile away this old path enters into Nueva ("Prettier Village in Asturias" in 1963). In addition, the entire set is just 16 miles from the impressive mountain range Picos de Europa, spectacular landscapes mounting from the seashore to the close by Naranjo de Bulnes (8,000 feet high). Local culture is very much diverse and alive, festivals, music, cuisine, the Museum of Jurassic dinosaur remains, caves with stunning cave paintings, Visigothic and Romanesque art, and much more to discover.

Amazing country home close to beaches and tranquility of the beauty of Asturias
This house was amazing. I've never rented a place yet in Spain that my family actually wanted to spend more time in then being out. This is a great place for a group of people or family want to spend quality time together. Super clean, very prepared, and lots of space. The yard was a plus for some games and my nieces and daughters even slept in a tent outside for fun. The location is pefect to the Rio Sella canoeing, Northern route Camino del Santiago, exploring the mountains, or discovering the amazing beaches within 10 to 30 minutes driving. Great location between city of Llanes and Ribadesella, both favorites. We'd definitely come back.
Beautiful house and
The house is lovely, very spacious with high ceilings, wooden floors and a good sized garden. The terrace on the 3rd floor offers fabulous evening sunshine and amazing sunsets. We were lucky to get great weather for our stay so spent little time there in the day. Some of the most beautiful beaches I've seen are a short drive away and so are the Picos de Europe with magnificent views. The village is quiet and picturesque with shops and bars in Nuevo, only a mile away.
We have 2 boys, ages 7 and 9 and they have had the best holiday; dinosaur museum and footprints and fossils to find; canoeing down the Sella river; jumping waves in the sea (despite being cool, you really do get used to it!); great tapas/seafood (but more traditional child friendly food usually on offer for our more fussy youngest); and deserted beaches...we felt like the only people a lot of the time (although it's only May so not peak season). Perfectly opposite to touristy, overdeveloped noisy resorts so it's just what we were looking for.
The house is well equipped and having no English TV and no super fast broadband (there is Wifi enough to use Internet just not dreaded kids youtube videos) was a welcome relief and meant we had quality family time. We took some games, there's nothing much to do for the kids except the greatest hide and seek with so many rooms and corners to hide in.
With very limited Spanish we struggled at times but emailing or phoning the owners was easy and they are very friendly and helpful. Mariano speaks good English but the housekeeper's English is not so fluent so I'd recommend you brush up your Spanish. (Saying that we still managed to get instructions to find a fuse box so credit to Rosi) We certainly hope to return and have fallen in love with this very beautiful coast of Spain.
This beautiful house was a wonderful base to explore Asturias. It is a tasteful, spacious and light-filled home in a lovely village situated between the best part of the Asturian coastline and the Picos de Europa. We would definitely go back.
Casa muy acogedora
Nuestra experiencia ha sido muy buena, la casa estaba limpia y dos de las habitaciones muy amplias con cama supletoria incluida.
Por mejorar algo: deberían poner la calefacción antes de llegar para q la casa esté acondicionada.

1-5 miles from the house there are some of the best beaches in Asturias - Gulpilluri is a unique, fairy-tale beach in the middle of a meadow! the sea comes in through a cave on the front rock, it is absolutely ideal for small children (soft sand, no waves). Cuevas del Mar and San Anton, just 3 miles, are perhaps the most beautiful beaches in Asturias, San Anton with its white sand and Caribbean turquoise waters. San Antolin long beach, 10 minutes away, is a favourite for surfers.
The Port of Santander, with a direct ferry to southern England, is just one hour drive away through the A8 highway. The same distance to the Santander airport, and 45 minutes more to the Bilbao airport, both to the East. The Asturias airport is about 80 minutes drive to the West, along the same A8 highway.
The house is on the edge of small village Cardoso, 1 mile from small town Nueva, 7 miles to medium town Ribadesella and 9 miles from Llanes.

Cardoso has very good and convenient restaurants; and Nueva, just one mile away, is plenty of services , shops, pubs, restaurants.

FDA to give guidance on biosimilars approval pathway at ACI Biosimilars conference
More timely than ever in light of just-released FDA guidance on the abbreviated pathway and impending public comment hearings,
As Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Momenta Pharmaceuticals Bruce A. Leicher states, "With the recent publication of FDA's biosimilar guidance documents and the public hearing planned for May 11, the ACI Biosimilars conference offers a timely opportunity to share perspectives and increase understanding of the new approval pathway for biosimilar development and commercialization."
Last June, over one hundred life sciences industry insiders gathered to proactively plan strategies to prepare for the implementation of the biosimilars pathway. This year, the industry buzz is surrounding a new addition to the program – Denise Esposito, Deputy Associate Director of Policy, Office of Regulatory Policy (ORP), CDER at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirmed to give a keynote address on Implementing the Biosimilar Pathway: FDA Guidance and Planning for the U.S. Biosimilars Regime.
In addition to the FDA keynote, attendees will hear industry leaders from the top market leaders including Amgen, Dr. Reddy's, Eli Lilly, Merck, Momenta, Pfizer, and Sandoz share strategies to:
• COMPLY with the FDA's proposed guidance on demonstrating interchangeability and defining biosimilarity
• DETERMINE the financial viability of biosimilars in light of the mandates in the guidance
• ASCERTAIN the level of clinical trials data which will be required to prove safety and efficacy
• EXPLORE new strategic alliances and alternative pathways to approval including biobetters
• ADAPT a practical approach to incorporate biosimilars into your current patent portfolio strategy to protect intellectual property and maximize the biologics life cycle
• PREPARING for the eventuality of patent challenges and brace for the flood of litigation sure to come

Four houses and a castle
As the train chugged its way across the vast countryside, the two boys delighted in exhausting every conversation they could think of. Kyle was eager to answer all of Criss's questions about the magical community, though his knowledge seemed limited. (He, too, had never heard of balrogs.) Kyle related his mother's descriptions of Hogwarts in great detail, from the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall to the mysteriously changing staircases.
He had even attempted to explain to Criss the rules of a dangerous sport known as Quidditch, which was evidently played on flying broomsticks. Criss had paid close attention to this, despite his lack of interest in sports, because he was extremely curious how to do the broom trick. Kyle, as it turned out, already knew how to fly a broomstick, but was unable (or perhaps unwilling) to explain it. He assured Criss that first year students always took flying lessons -- information which simultaneously surprised, excited, and terrified him.
As the conversation continued, though, Criss began to doubt whether Kyle was telling the truth about his ability to make a broomstick fly. It seemed that Kyle knew practically nothing about magic, despite the fact that his mother had been a bonafide magician his entire life. Criss had shown Kyle all of his card tricks, and Kyle had watched them curiously as though he had never once seen anyone do magic before. To be fair, though, he had been able to point out what Criss had done in order to perform most of the tricks; so he must have had some sort of background knowledge there.
Still, he couldn't show Criss a single trick of his own, which made Criss wonder what criteria this school must use in determining which applicants to accept. Clearly the children of prior students were grandfathered in, regardless of their talent. Criss felt no bitterness about this favoritism; much to the contrary, he felt honored to have earned himself a place among the elite. He made no mention of this observation to Kyle, for fear it would hurt his feelings. Instead he tried to be supportive and reassuring. After all, they were going to school, so Kyle was bound to learn something eventually.
At long last, the train slowed to a stop. As it did so, the compartment door slid open and allowed a tall boy with greasy hair and an extremely smug look on his face to lean inside and grunt "put on your robes". Then the door closed again, and he was gone. Criss and Kyle glanced at each other and couldn't suppress wide grins. It was time!
They threw on their robes over their clothes and squeezed out of the door into the growing mob. The mass of students poured out of the train and onto the dark grounds. Criss strained to look over the heads of all the taller students, and although he didn't manage to get a glimpse of the school, what he did see nearly made him squeel. It was a real, live, giant. He'd forgotten to ask anyone if giants were real too! Of course they were, he told himself, but to actually see one, with its awful, scraggly giant hair and beard, and its humongous carpet-looking overcoat… And what was more, this giant seemed actually to be trying to get his attention. In fact, he realized, it was shouting "Firs' years! Firs' years come with me, this way, firs' years…" Criss hadn't exactly expected the giants to talk, or at least not to speak English. He wondered how many of the other magical creatures could talk too, and whether he would get a chance to see them while he was at school.
Criss and Kyle managed to stick together as they made their way through the crowd towards the giant. Once the giant seemed satisfied that all the first years were gathered around him, he began walking in the opposite direction. The group of 30 or so kids scurried along in his wake, until they reached the edge of a dark body of water. Some little boats were lined up on the shore, and the giant wafted the students into them.
"Cool!" said Kyle. "Let's take this one. You take the back, and I'll get the front."
Criss was already stepping into the front of the boat. "I'm already in the front," he said. "You get in the back."
"No," said Kyle, "the person in the front steers, and I'm really good at steering. You're probably stronger than me anyway so you'll be better in the back."
"I'm good at steering too," said Criss, though he was pretty sure he'd never been in a canoe before. "How about we both steer, and you can steer from the back and I'll steer from the front."
"It doesn't work like that. The person in the back has to…" Kyle stopped talking. Two other kids had just stepped into the middle of their boat. Criss was sitting defiantly in the front, paddles in hand. Kyle grunted and sat down in the back, and none of them spoke to each other as they rowed across the lake behind the string of other boats.
Criss savored his view from the front, and didn't hesitate to make audible gasps and "ooh"s when they curved around the bend and caught sight of a huge castle. He had never expected the school to be this awesome from the outside. How could this world of magic have eluded him all his life until now? These people understood. It was all about appearance, flash, majesty… zazz. This was the coolest castle he had ever seen in his entire life. And he had seen plenty of them in movies. None of the others seemed lit by flickering candles from every possible window, or had so many towers, so many pointed peaks. The land around it jutted out into the lake with a commanding presence, as though daring any other land to come near it. This definitely warranted a deep breath.
They docked their boats on the shore and began to climb the slopes up to the castle, which seemed a much easier task for the giant than it was for them. Criss was already out of breath from rowing, and by the time they reached the castle he had fallen nearly to the back of the group. He looked back and saw only Kyle, who hurried forward to catch up with him.
"Can't wait for the feast," said Kyle.
"There's a feast?" Criss panted. "Awesome."
"Yep, right after the sorting."
"Ugh," said Criss. "How long does that take?"
"I don't know," said Kyle. "Probably not very long, they just… put a hat on you, and tell you what house you're in."
Criss didn't bother to explain that he was confused by that statement.
Finally, they reached the castle doors, which must have been built to account for giants, Criss reasoned. The giant opened the doors, and the students piled inside a bright, warm entrance hall big enough for at least fifty of these giants. He felt small.
Once all the first-years were standing huddled in the light, Criss was able to size them up for the first time. He wondered who his new friends were going to be… they would have to be Ravenclaws, of course, so Kyle was out. Kyle was bound to be in Hufflepuff, like his mother. Kyle had said Slytherin was the snake, and Criss spotted three or four that seemed perfect for that. Gryffindor was the lion. He eyed the remaining faces for a trace of boldness or pride. Most of them looked nervous and weak, like they were under some kind of pressure they hadn't expected to be dealing with. Criss felt quite good about this-- could it be that he, himself, was more prepared for magic school than anyone else here? He laughed at the thought that he might be the most Gryffindor-esque one of them all! He decided he'd better tone down his smug look, so as not to confuse whoever would be judging them.
And it was at that moment, while Criss was trying to figure out what a beaver/badger-type person would look like, that a large kid moved out of the way to reveal a girl that Criss instantly knew he would one day fall in love with. She had long, silky dark hair that waved and curled ever so slightly toward the ends. Her face was thin and angled and she wore a hint of eyeliner that said "I know how beautiful I am." Her eyes were sharp and intelligent. She was pure Ravenclaw, perhaps more so than Criss himself. In fact he wouldn't be surprised if her name was Raven.
He was just about to approach her suavely and introduce himself, but at that moment the doors to the side of the room opened, and a stern-looking woman marched in and addressed them.
"Good evening, first-years. My name is Professor McGonagall. The Sorting Ceremony is about to begin. If you would please line up and follow me into the Great Hall…" and with that, she turned and walked back through the doors.
Inside the Great Hall were four long tables filled with older students in black robes, and another table along the front filled with adult magicians. Probably the teachers! Obviously the boats were the stupid way to get here, Criss thought. These people looked like they'd been there for half an hour at least! They could be eating already. But, he realized, it was probably more dramatic and impressive the way they'd come. All about appearance, he reminded himself.
"Look at the ceiling," whispered Kyle from behind Criss's head. He looked up. Just as Kyle had described on the train, the ceiling was a fantastic illusion of a night sky; much better than the glow-in-the-dark star stickers he's placed all over his own bedroom ceiling. He smiled broadly and wondered how soon he'd be able to learn that trick… it certainly sounded like the school would move along pretty quickly, since making broomsticks fly was apparently something they'd do in their first year. A chill of excitement ran through him, for about the hundredth time that day.
They followed Professor McGonagall to the front of the Great Hall, and soon they were lined up between the teachers' table and the students' tables. Gradually the hall fell silent, as Professor McGonagall conjured a stool out of thin air.
"Wow!" Criss whispered to Kyle. He heard some of his fellow first years giggle, and hoped it wasn't the Raven girl. He tried to seem unimpressed after that.
McGonagall placed a ratty old wizard's hat on the stool, and then walked away as if no more explanation was needed. Criss stared at it, confused, until, miraculously, a tear near the brim began to open and move like a mouth, and the hat spoke! Criss resisted the urge to applaud for whoever was doing the trick. It was really quite believable. It took him a moment to tune into what the hat was saying. Or rather… singing!
Welcome all, sit down for a spell,
and hear this old hat sing!
It's time to look into your souls
and see what skills you bring.
This school, of course, was founded by
four wizards long ago,
who thought they'd bring young wizards here
and teach them what they know.
On this much they agreed, and yet
one thing remained unclear:
Exactly how would they decide
whom they should teach each year?
The founders all had different plans
for how they should decide,
and so it was that Hogwarts school
would into four divide!
Gryffindor, the brave and strong,
to him, there's no comparing...
He valued valiant valor so
he took those bold and daring.
Slytherin, on the other hand,
chose not by skill, but birth.
To him it was pure wizard blood
that determined wizards' worth.
Ravenclaw liked those who were
most clever, quick, and smart.
To her it was their brains and wits
that set the kids apart.
Hufflepuff, and bless 'er heart,
cared not for who was best,
she sat back as the others chose,
and then took all the rest.
Whichever house is right for you,
I'll easily surmise.
So step up as your name is read,
and try me on for size!
The hall erupted into applause. Finally, some respect, thought Criss, as he joined in, clapping vigorously for the unseen magician.

On Your MindMature
The car ride to Carlisle's house was silent. They parked in the garage, Carlisle let the ignition run for a couple minutes before turning it off and turning to Haylen.
"Babe... is something wrong?" he asked her. She shook her head. "you sure?"
"Yeah im fine" she told him faking a smile, she rested her hand on his leg, "lets just get inside - its getting a bit chilly" she rubbed her shoulders and winked.
He chuckled then got out the car and rushed to the otherside of the it to open the door for her. He then ushered her towards the front door of the house and let her in.
He closed the front door behind himself then hugged her from behind. She jumped away from him.
"urmm im hungry, can we get some food?" she said hurriedly. He looked at her confused.
"urmm yeah, ok" he said confused taking off his jacket.
Haylen flung herself down on his sofa whilst he moved into the kitchen and began banging the cupboards looking for food.
"is popcorn alright?" he asked her. She mumbled a yeah but was too busy thinking about earlier to really register what he had said.
The feeling of Kale's hands as they swept carefully over her body, the gentle nibbling of her mouth as she kissed her neck, Haylens breathing accelerated at that thought like it had done when the whole thing had began to happen.
The smell of Kale's perfume and hair had smelt so good.
Carlisle came in with a bowl of popcorn, his shirt now unbottoned having left his tie in the kitchen, and sat himself down next to Haylen.
He looked at her for a moment. She looked back and knew she wanted something.
She pulled his shirt so that he was lay ontop of her and began to kiss him passionately, he caressed her hair and obeyed with a light bite to her lip.
He pulled her up for a second and his hands skimmed her back to undo the zip on the back of her dress. he kissed down her body as he pulled the dress down and flung it on the floor.
"Wow, you did have something planned" he chuckled between kisses remarking on her underwear.
Her lace lingerie was a dark chocolate colour, fitting to the curves of her hips. He ran his hands up and down her body. He kissed fiercly this time and he could feel her heart beating energeticly.
Haylen giggled and unbottoned his shirt. She sat on his lap, her lace brushing against his toned stomach and began to undo his trousers. They both sat in their underwear kissing for a moment. She began to rock slighlty in his lap.
"Fuck" he whispered "i told you... you broke my penis earlier" he fought with his boxers to keep it down.
She laughed but deep down something was different...
She wanted to do this now, and she loved him but she wanted something else... but what?
His hands groped at her chest then began to make their way to her back. They moved up her spine to get to her bra strap. She hesitated. She took his hands from her back and put them in her lap. They stopped kissing.
"What's the matter babe?" he asked confused.
She looked at him "is it ok if we dont do this now?" she asked.
He looked at her confused "urr yeah ok" what was wrong with her tonight. Something different perhaps?
She curled up in his lap whilst he hugged her to his chest. Her mind going over and over the past couple hours.
He never wanted to make her do anything she didnt want too, so he knew not to chase up why it had stopped, he was understanding and aslong as he had her close he was ok.
After a couple of minutes Haylens heart beat slowed and so did her breathing, her hot breath on his chest, indicating she must have fallen asleep.
Carlisle decided to take her up to bed, carrying her bridal style up the stairs, pushing the doors open with his elbows.
He lay her down in his double bed and climbed in beside her. He pulled the covers over them then rested his arm around her protectively then he slowly fell asleep, feeling her warm body next to him.
The feel of her skin as it swept over her's, their hot bodies lay together. The urgency of their kisses. The rustling of the sheets as they rolled around in the heat of the moment.
She awoke sweating. The dream so vivid, hard to believe it was unreal. She looked around her to see she was in Carlisle bedroom, him laying beside her. His mouth open slightly, his hand resting on her stomach. He had always loved to hug her whilst he was asleep, she found him cute especially when he slept.
She watched him for a few minutes, seeing his chest rise and fall from his breathing. She kissed him on the forehead then lifted his hand delicately and placed it on the bed beside her.
A repetetive knocking at Kale's door woke up her up. She slung the bedclothes off her and stumbled groggily to the front door.
"its 3 in the pissing morning! for gods sake! who the hell is i- Haylen?!!"
Haylen stood in the doorway, wearing nothing on her feet and Carlisles' jacket on.
"you must be freezing get inside" Kale ushered her through the doorway into the apartment. Haylen stood awkwardly by the tv.
"What's the matter? what are you doing here?"
Haylen flung Carlisles jacket off onto the floor, revealing her lacy underwear from earlier. Kale looked at her confused but a glint in her eye showed a different feeling.
Haylen crossed elegantly over to stand directly infront of Kale and kissed her fiercly on the lips. she draped her arms round Kales shoulders. Kale hesitated confused.
"i've cant stop thinking about earlier.... take - me - now" Haylen said between kisses.
Kale smiled but pulled back from Haylen. She gave a questioning look but just replied "OK".
Kale slowly kissed down Haylens neck, her hands sweeping up and down her back, lighly scratching her nails on Haylens bare skin. Kale moved her hands down to Haylens thighs and picked her up, tying her legs round her waist.
Haylen giggled and then began purring in Kales ear as she began nibbling lighly at her neck and jaw.
They moved quickly towards Kales bedroom, Haylen still hanging on her waist, kissing each other.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

The Mumbai airport's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint seem to be paying off, with the complex releasing 49,239 tonnes of carbon dioxide last year, as compared to 55,432 tonnes in 2011. This is a reduction of 6,193 tonnes, or 11.17 per cent.
The airport reduced its emissions by changing the way its uses energy, said officials. Conventional lights in domestic and international terminals have been replaced with energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights, and high-powered lights on aerobridges have been programmed to switch off automatically. Conveyor belts have been put on "no bag sensing mode", so they stop working when there is no luggage. Air-conditioners in the terminal have been set at 23 degrees Celsius, and blowers, which circulate air in crowded spaces, are switched off on winter nights and non-peak hours.
Switching off lights in the day has ensured less heat is generated, and installation of high-speed air curtains at entrances has stopped hot air from entering the complex, airport officials said.
Last year, the airport received certification for mapping its carbon footprint from Bureau Veritas, a global carbon certification agency. "We are committed to being at the forefront of the aviation industry's drive towards carbon-neutral growth with the aim of a sustainable future. The certification is a reaffirmation of our long-term commitment to reduce the airport's environmental impact," said Sanjay Reddy, managing director, Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL).
The upcoming X-shaped terminal at Sahar, which will cater to international and domestic traffic, is also being built using eco-friendly material.
