A Day at the Yard
221B Baker Street was quiet. Possibly too quiet for a Monday morning after a weekend of happy celebration by Sherlock and John, but at least no one had the remains of a hang over to worry about. It was the heat of the sun that awoke John on that Monday morning, as opposed to the tall, snore-making machine that was currently wrapped around him, pale skin standing out against his own natural tan
Although they had spent the better part of the weekend in bed, John still felt tired, and he told himself that he was too old for the antics they had pulled, the thing with the riding crop and the baby oil being the tamest. John's bed was now not the only item in need of being replaced as various items had been knocked or broken due to rigorous activity. When Mrs Hudson had come up with food the day before, she told them in no uncertain-terms that she would not be replacing anything broken unless it wore down of 'natural causes'.
Sherlock mumbled something in his sleep and clung to John tighter for a moment before slipping back into slumber, John slipped from the bed, grabbed his dressing gown before he closed the door softly behind him, in an effort not to wake Sherlock from the restless slumber that claimed him but a few hours before. John could only smile to himself as he tightened his dressing gown and shuffled down the stairs to brightness of the living room. There was a certain hum to the traffic in the street below but nothing enough to shake the smile from John's face as he finally felt he could move on with his future happily.
Flipping the kettle on, John brought out two cups and prepared them with tea and sugar for Sherlock before setting about his morning routine. His mind couldn't help but drift to the amazing friends and family they had, because he knew that some of them still had reservations but they didn't want to show it. John was quite prepared to tell them that they had better start looking at their own lives before casting any stones at his. He knew that people would be telling him that he should get out, but he was quite happy to tear into anyone who didn't support them.
Of course this was only but the first stage of them coming out as a fully-fledged couple. Next would be other relatives and friends they saw less often. Work colleagues and former army blokes that John was bound to run into. John wasn't afraid of that though, as he was looking forward to seeing the shock register on some of their faces, those that knew him to be the Captain Watson who had had his fair share of women on three continents would mostly be shocked to see him settling down with a man.
John shuffled from the kitchen to the living room sofa, one of the pieces of furniture to be replaced in due course, and sat down softly in accordance to the screaming muscles in his thighs.
He couldn't remember whose idea it was to look for the Karma Sutra online and see what positions they could mimic, but John new that his lanky younger man was far more flexible than he looked and to keep up he would need yoga or Pilates, not that he would ever admit that aloud to anyone who asked. Thank you very much.
Bringing the steaming teacup to his mouth he willed the warmth to spread through his limbs, but knew that the best option would be a bath or shower, without Sherlock, depending on his mood when he got up. That being said, they could always find something interesting in the bathroom for both of them. John could only smile at the images that played across his mind like a movie screen, giving him another reason to have the morning rise.
"Morning, John."
Sherlock leaned against the door jam of the living room casually. His stripped white pyjamas made him look completely at ease, but that blue silk dressing gown was on and draped around him. He looked gorgeous, thoroughly kissed, thoroughly fucked. Best of all though was that he looked as though he couldn't wait to do it again.
"Morning love, I've made you tea. Interested in breakfast?"
Sherlock clambered onto the sofa and sipped his tea with a shrewd look in his eyes before reclining on the length of it with his feet in John's lap, kneading the terracotta fluff beneath his toes.
"Is there any chance that you could make me a fry up?" Sherlock hesitated. "With mushrooms and not those horrible cherry tomatoes that you insist on using. They're awful."
Sherlock looked up over the rim of his cup with twinkling eyes that made John forget how to breathe, and although he couldn't see Sherlock's mouth, he was fairly sure it was whipped into a sly smile, full of sexy intent for later.
"I could do that," John struggled out, "I think we have everything that there needs to be. What do you want to do today? We're case-less, so we could stay home, or go somewhere if the weather holds up nicely." John pondered taking one pale, long foot of his lovers and kneading it between his fingers. Sherlock almost managed to stifle a moan, but it was too much for him.
"Mmm, John. I am really, really hungry. For food, I mean. I need energy. Please…" Sherlock pleaded with eyes closed and his head thrown back against the arm of the sofa, his black curls spread around him like a dark halo while he fought the sensations John created with his hands travelling up his leg under his pyjamas.
A smile flittered across John's face as he noted the flush that crept up Sherlock's neck from his collarbone, and decided to allow him some mercy and removed his hands from him to stand and rearrange his legs back on the sofa.
"Alright, but you need to think on what we should do. We can't spend another day lazing about, or Mrs Hudson will start to get worried that our relationship is only about sex." John responded wryly missing a sideswipe from Sherlock's arm aimed at his arse laughingly.
"I'm going. You know it wouldn't hurt to you to cook breakfast once-in-a-while. I'm not your housekeeper," John turned to the kitchen and began to gather the breakfast ingredients that he would need.
He heard Sherlock's speedy typing and knew that he had located his laptop that had been hidden under the sofa on Saturday morning, and knew he would be checking his email to see if any case had presented itself for him to take up. Even though John knew Sherlock loved him, he really didn't intend on changing the nature of the man who made his life interesting and lively. He couldn't, no wouldn't, change him to be something that he was not, all of his idiosyncrasies that made him this super-intelligent man were just some of the reasons he would do anything for him.
Sherlock tapped at his laptop trying to find something that would take his mind off of having John over the kitchen table, but he had no cases at all, no even the most boring. He roamed the Internet news pages, trying to ascertain some pattern or something, and all he could see were words jumping from pages that were completely inappropriate. Sherlock slammed his laptop in a refusal to let his newfound libido run his life. He hadn't let his relationship change him to date, not significantly, and he didn't intend to. He would try almost anything to make John happy, but not so much that he couldn't recognise himself in the mirror.
John allowed him to look at the data, play with it in his mind and not tell him he was wrong to do so. He only tried to get Sherlock to see outside of that, but he was the conductor that allowed emotions to be visible. Without John, Sherlock didn't think he would understand the half of life as it was in 'normal' terms.
Sherlock became so lost in his thoughts that he did not notice John observing him as he laid the plates on their desks that functioned as a dinner table far too often. Sherlock's eyes became focussed on a distant point that only he could see, but John knew something was bothering him.
"I'm not going anywhere Sherlock. I take you for what you are. You know this. You probably knew before I did, with your coat and cheekbones that I would accept you with minimal fuss. There is no way you're getting rid of me now we're together."
Sherlock nodded at him, eyes focussing slowly, and he settled at the table as they ate to the sound of the radio. It seemed to both of them that they had finally achieved a balance where everything simply worked. They didn't need to speak to understand each other, or have complicated conversations, as Sherlock was often wont to do with John taking on his pleasantly blank face. They just worked around each other companionably.
"Sherlock…" John mimicked his tone.
"Is that your phone ringing or is it mine?"
Both men paused to see if they could hear a distinctive ring tine, and Sherlock's eyes lit up. "It's mine. Do you mind getting that for me?"
John closed his eyes slowly, and counted backwards from ten slowly to avoid snapping and when he opened them he could see Sherlock peering at him meekly holding his breath.
"Where is it then? I'll be your run around man on this occasion," he muttered lightly, "along with every other time you want something but don't want to move."
"Bedroom, my bedside cabinet, top draw," came the instinctual guide. It often irked John for milliseconds then he'd just get over it, and this was one of those times while he shot up the stairs and got to the phone just as it stopped ringing. He'd seen the name as the phone was lit up and knew that this would excite Sherlock to no end and give him something to do.
"It was Lestrade for you. Call him back," John passed the phone as he slid back into his chair to resume eating his food.
Palming the phone, Sherlock set about tapping on the keys swiftly, firing a message to Lestrade, and set it back down to spear some mushrooms with his fork. His phone began to ring as he chewed and rolled his eyes before answering, to which John stifled a chuckle.
"Sherlock Holmes."
"Sherlock, its Greg. You said to call you. Why didn't you just call me back?"
"You know how I feel about making phone calls. I prefer to text. Plain and simple. Hold on let me put you on speaker so I can finish my breakfast. John's here so beware," Sherlock pushed a button and placed the phone softly back on the table top, "have you got something for us? You must know that we're still at a loose end."
"Hi Greg, by the way." John slipped in, before biting into some more bacon and beans from his plate.
"John, mate. Morning. I figured you'd both be up by now being that it's after the morning rush hour. I know you're both at loose ends, but I don't have a case for you. Not yet, anyway, I'm sure something will pop up. It usually does," Greg's dry tone came down the line, "I'm calling about what I mentioned on Friday at dinner. I need you to come in though, I think we should talk about it, the three of us, face to face."
Sherlock and John shared a glance over the phone, and when John nodded slowly, Sherlock felt happy enough to say, "We'll finish breakfast and get ready, maybe an hour and a half..." John raised an eyebrow and pushed back his plate, "Two... Make it two hours, Greg. John's a little slow in his feet today."
There was a beat of silence from the phone before the good detective inspector muttered, "I don't need to know anything... I'm not asking for anything. Two hours. See you then."
Sherlock disconnected the call before he picked up John's plate with his own and scooted off to the kitchen, while John simply swivelled round in his chair to watch his detective. His mind whirred like an engine being revved up as Sherlock made his way back to the sofa and stretched out on it like a cat.
"Why two hours, love? It wont take us that long to get ready and get to The Yard."
"I know that, but I'm not having Lestrade think he can click his fingers, and there I'll be. Plus I missed you this morning, when I woke up you weren't there. I had plans for you."
"Well, those plans will have to wait, won't they?"
"No. They won't." Sherlock ran long pale fingers through his hair and stretched again, making his legs lock and his back arch from the sofa slightly. He moaned low and deep and the sound went through John's body like an alarm.
John could see a stretch of Sherlock's pale stomach from the T-shirt that rode up on his body. This was temptation, pure and simple. Sherlock was tempting him, putting him before business and it felt damned good. John's mouth felt dry as he knelt by the sofa and pulled Sherlock into a soft kiss. A teasing kiss full of promise that John would have been tempted to fulfil right there on the sofa like they had done before, but he pulled back after licking the length of Sherlock's neck.
"I am going to shower. Then I am going to get dressed, so I hope your plans are portable Sherlock."
John was soon stepping under the warm spray, and it was a form of heaven for him working out all the kinks in his muscles that had been built up over the weekend by over use by his extremely agile boyfriend. As he lathered up the soap and glided them along his skin, another pair of hands joined his own.
"If I help you shower, will I get what I want then?" Sherlock murmured against John's neck while his hands glided his flanks in a motion that curled forward to the front of John's body before cupping him gently then returning to lathering him up.
"Maybe...It's not an exchange I was angling for, you know. I am quite happy to wait...until later." John sighed as Sherlock took John's ample arse cheeks and began to lather them up and pry them in turn. "We are supposed to be somewhere soon."
"The Yard, I know. I want to do this first, so I go there in the best possible mood," Sherlock withdrew his hands so only his finger tips were grazing John's skin, "of course I could always stop..."
John bit his lip and whimpered as Sherlock's fingers began to quest a little firmer and deeper in a more localised way that made John want to lean back into Sherlock for just a moment so he could get caught in that relaxing motions of his young lover.
Sherlock placed John's hands on the shower wall and held them there for a second before dipping his mouth to John's neck and nibbling the warm flesh gently. John bucked at the surprise and leaned so his back was flush against Sherlock's. Sherlock was hard and now wedged between his cheeks pleasantly but he continued to stroke John, to help melt the tension knots that were in some of the most surprising places that John had forgotten existed.
Sherlock allowed his hands to sweep forwards, cupping and lightly tugging at John's erection, and John wanted to look but for fear of losing control he placed his head against the tiles instead. Every so often, Sherlock would move his hand to John's cock and move it in just the way that would have John panting, just the right amount of pressure in his thumb that glided over the ridge in his penis.
"Aah, shit… Sherlock..."
"Shh… I'm here John. I'm right here." Sherlock whispered into John's ear as he moved his hand faster and more controlled.
John felt his orgasm approach fast after a few peaks, something to do with Sherlock being pressed up so close and whispering in his ear about letting go and the delicious friction that the man created for him. He didn't have the chance to speak as it consumed him whole, his vision blacking out in the pleasure as his hips moved of their own accord.
The first thing John felt were the strong arms that held him as his mind blinkered. The second was the spray beating down on his skin like rain. John twisted his face round and drew Sherlock in for a kiss that threatened to lead to more of the same before Sherlock broke away.
"If I carry on we wont get anywhere. I need a cold shower now. I've done what I wanted to do for you this morning." Sherlock smiled lopsidedly at John, leaning against the opposite shower wall.
"Or I could…?" John smiled reaching for Sherlock.
"No, love. Its best if we don't. Plus, I'll be thinking of ways that you can repay me later if we leave it now."
John gave Sherlock a chaste kiss, a parting kiss, before stepping out of the shower and wrapping himself in a terracotta robe. "Promise?"
"Absolutely." Sherlock turned the dial to make the hot water turn to an icicle spray while presenting John with ample arse cheek to view before he closed the bathroom door and made his way upstairs to get changed.
An hour later saw them leaving Baker Street in a taxi to New Scotland Yard. The street was busy, there were buses and pedestrians everywhere and John stroked Sherlock's hand lightly.
"So, will we be making it obvious to others at The Yard? About our change in status now we've come out to our friends?"
"What? I suppose, John. What would you want to do?" Sherlock cast a glance at John before looking out the window at the familiar city.
"I think we should play it down for now. Which means that we be our normal selves without watching each other like we must have done a million times before. We're here to see Greg, hear him out and then make our way somewhere else. If we see Donovan or Anderson, we ignore them, okay?"
"You want me to just ignore them if they say something out of line instead of correct their ignorance? John, that's asking too much?" Sherlock huffed.
The taxi pulled up across the road and John opened his door. "No Sherlock, I'm asking just enough. We need to make our lives easier for our future, and you don't know how long Greg will let you work alongside him if everyone keeps complaining about you. Just try, please?"
Sherlock paid the driver and followed John to the pavement. Once John had shut the door he didn't move away, he stood waiting, and Sherlock knew he wouldn't get away without giving some kind of answer.
"I'll try," Sherlock grated out, "but don't expect them to do anything less than get under my skin. You know what they think of me!"
John nodded and crossed the street with Sherlock following close behind. "I know, Lock, but you are better than them. It's about time you start remembering that." He smiled as Sherlock agreed with him and they made their up to Greg's floor.
Greg stood in his squad room waiting for them as they pushed open the doors and simply nodded them into his office without any preamble, then asked someone to get them some coffees before shutting his door.
John sat on a chair without needing an invite, however Sherlock stood for the moment as Greg perched on the edge of his desk studying them.
"Looking well, John. Life is obviously agreeing with you."
"Well, it is what it is Greg. You know that." John was interrupted by a young male PC who brought in three steaming mugs, placed them on Greg's desk before sloping out and closing the door behind him.
"So, Greg, why are we here?" Sherlock started them off, standing in the corner of the room exuding a still and wary exterior.
John smiled at Greg's face, because try as he might he wasn't used to hearing Sherlock call him by his first name. He would only do it when it was just the three of them somewhere, never anyone else.
"Right, straight down to business then," Greg grinned wryly, as John smiled into his mug of pretty decent coffee. "I have been taken to one side by my superintendent about how you have been working with us. He has been concerned about the amount of access you seem to have to crime scenes and data, with no proper access being arranged, other than by me. He seems to think that it's a great idea to put you on our books as a proper consultant, with ID and all that stuff."
"Really? Why on earth would I do that?"
"Uh, because we need the money, Sherlock." John shot an embarrassed look at Greg, "I mean him. Obviously I will keep working as a locum when things get really tight."
"I'm not working without you, John. There is just no way," Sherlock exploded, "so Lestrade can run back to his boss and tell him where he can…"
"Sherlock!" John and Greg both shouted sternly, as Sherlock had the grace to look well told off as he sat and picked up the untouched mug of coffee while Greg eyed him.
"Funnily enough I told the super that you might have a reaction like that. I explained that you tended to come as a working duo, and as no one else has any method of controlling you except for possibly John, he had to come on board under the same terms. So you are both being offered a chance to be on the books, case-by-case basis, shared office and desks that you can use. There is also lab access, and John will have carte blanche of autopsies related to the cases if you so want mate. That way you are independent."
Sherlock's face didn't render any change as John thanked Greg for the news. He quickly swept up and out of the office without a word. "He'll do it, obviously. Whose idea was it really?"
Greg had the good grace to look truly uncomfortable before he spoke. "Not entirely sure, but I have my suspicions that it goes high."
"Don't tell me, another Holmes?" John smiled as he watched Greg's skin flush a gentle pink beneath the natural tan. "His heart is in the right place. He just likes to pretend he doesn't have one."
"Hard man, is he?"
"Can be. He thinks that nothing can touch him and that nothing should, so he puts obstacles between himself and what he wants…except for food. I think if he was on some kind of active duty he'd be a force to reckon with. He does care though, deeply."
Greg's face deepened as questions whirled through his mind, but couldn't force the thoughts into words but for one question. "What is it like to, uh…be with a Holmes?"
"With Sherlock…One word that covers a multitude is 'unpredictable'. I've never known Mycroft to be in a relationship, but he must have been in one as he is more socially adjusted than Sherlock. I think that he needs someone who understands him, and deep down I think that he wants someone too."
"I… John I uh," Greg's voice crackled into a whisper as he looked at one glass wall of his office over John's head. John smiled encouragingly to himself and leaned forward for Greg.
"You like him. I know. He's the first guy to draw your attention. Been there, mate. Listen though, it's all about feelings Greg. How you feel, how Mycroft feels…and we never have to talk about this again if you don't want to, but I am here to listen to whatever's on your mind. You should talk to Mycroft though, I could give you his number?"
Greg took his phone from his jacket pocket and twirled it about on the desk for a few moments allowing a small smile play over his lips. "He already gave me his number. Said that if I ever needed to discuss anything, anytime, he'd always be on the other end of the phone."
"That's a good sign. It also probably means his used resources to acquire your numbers too and is afraid to make the first move. I mean it, about needing an ear."
"Course I'll talk to you mate. I will need help. I've met him a few times over the years, but things were different then. I was different, and unavailable. I suppose the biggest of all is that I never thought any bloke was attractive, except Mycroft and that first day he kidnapped me." Greg drew a hand over his face and leaned back in his chair. "I want him. Mycroft. I thought something would happen when he dropped me home. We had a moment, but then he bottled it." Greg laughed to himself.
"You like him, quite a bit by the sound of it. You're single and you should just make a move of some kind, take it slow. Not like me and Sherlock, as I think living together all this time was probably our mating dance." John smiled and looked like he was going to leave before he turned back. "The contracts for me and Sherlock, you'll let me know when they are ready to be looked over, right?"
Greg nodded and quickly outlined a little more of what would be entailed of them, there was very little change to what they did now, except for some rules that Sherlock would love to break and John would try to impose.
"I'd better go. Find Sherlock, I reckon he'll be around somewhere. You know how he hates what he thinks is boring. You need to speak to Donovan and Anderson. If we'll be working here, closer with your team, they should know about it, and be warned that some things wont be tolerated, Greg."
"Sure thing, John. It'll be great to work closer with you. I need another regular bloke around, Anderson doesn't count as one." Greg laughed and twiddled the phone again.
John walked from the office, but stuck his head back through before the door closed. "You should call him tonight. Best to catch him off guard I reckon." Greg smiled at that and typed into his mobile as John wished Greg luck silently.
Stepping into the main squad room, John looked about at the faces he would be seeing on a more regular basis and getting to know better. Not everyone would welcome them working at New Scotland Yard, there would be grumbles from others that Sherlock had managed to upset. Of course, that was an obstacle for later. The most important thing was that he was going to be paid to look after Sherlock, something he would have done for free, but they may as well benefit from this opportunity.
Finished with Greg. Where are you? JW
John tapped out the message quickly and before he got to the stairwell he received a message back.
Looking for a new office. Come see. SH
Typical, of course, for Sherlock not to say where he was in the building to narrow it down, but knowing Sherlock as he did the best place to start would be the lab. Sherlock would be sizing up the science equipment and deciding what he would need to commander from somewhere else.
A flight of stairs up to the lab, and John ran into the two people he would have hated to see with Sherlock. Without him was just about bearable.
"Donovan, Anderson." He murmured politely as he continued not giving them a second glance.
"What are you doing here? Alone? He always leaves you behind doesn't he?" Sally Donovan snapped maliciously as John climbed another step.
"Have you seen him? We were just with Lestrade. Important business, I'm sure you'll get filled in eventually." John continued to climb steadily as Donovan skipped down the last few steps with Anderson in her wake.
"Idiots." John muttered as his phone beeped at him.
They are idiots. Don't let them wind you up. I'm in Forensics. SH
John went up two more floors, and through two sets of double doors. There was a main working area, but also a few small offices, some with large glass panes like Greg's and others had smaller sections and lots of plaster. One of the offices without glass had Anderson's name on it, and John pushed the door open to find Sherlock seating in his chair.
"I think I like this office, John. What do you think?"
"I think it belongs to someone who hates you enough already, and we should not be in here."
Sherlock stood and walked around the desk, "I know it's a bit small, but we can fit two desks in here if we move them closer to one of the walls. A wall unit for medical texts for you, and a unit with my most used texts could go right there." Sherlock pointed to the wall with the door in it.
"Sherlock, this is Anderson's office. You can't just get it because you want it. It doesn't work like that."
Sherlock stood and walked quickly to the door and closed it with a snap of the lock and guided John to the chair. "John just imagine it, this would be like the living room at home, only this would be our proper work space. At home there would be less clutter, my clutter."
"Right. No."
"John, please. We can get this office fair and square. No manipulation. We just have to ask."
John didn't think for a moment that Sherlock meant what he said as he perched on the edge of the desk. He looked like he was just trying to make an effort though.
"Alright, we can ask. I suppose Anderson will dig his heels in so deep that there will be no way."
"Of course, so in case we don't get this office, I want to have a good memory of this room." Sherlock shifted so that he was now sitting directly in front of John in the chair with his legs splayed. "Would you let us create a good memory, here…for us?" Sherlock shifted a hand from his own thigh to his groin ever so slightly and pressed in with the heel of his hand, enough to capture John's eye, how could he not, it was at his eye level after all.
John's mouth went dry, "Sher… what…? We can't."
"Yes, we can. The door is locked, they aren't here…but we are here. Please John, that cold shower didn't do enough for me. I need more." Sherlock pressed the heel of his hand again and responded to himself with a moan and a slight buck of the hips with looking into John's eyes. "Jo-ohn…please."
John's body responded for him, he harden as though touched, and shifted forward on his chair to get closer to Sherlock but ended up rubbing his face along the centre seam of Sherlock's trousers.
"Ye-sss." Sherlock hissed as he held John's head in his hand.
John grasped the zip between his fingers and pulled it down quickly and undid the button before his hand delved behind the fabric and found flesh. Sherlock hissed again and bucked his hips and John wrapped his mouth around Sherlock as though it were the last way to survive.
They both moaned in pleasure. Maybe it was the location; a police station would be the last place you'd expect to get away with anything risky. Actually neither of them cared really, it was a moment that they were sharing and enjoying together. John's mouth worked on Sherlock, creating the right amount of suction and moisture while allowing his tongue to roam the veins that decorated Sherlock's length.
John started to hum some tune around Sherlock, and sure enough he was soon writhing on the table, fighting back the need to release that was swelling up around him like a wave, but when John swallowed around him, he couldn't hold back any more and groaned deep as his orgasm washed through him and into John's mouth.
When Sherlock's brain came to, John was not on the chair any more; he was undoing his own flies in a hurry and removing a packet of lube from his pocket.
"Sherlock you better get up and bend over this desk right now, because I am going to fuck you. That will give me something to remember for longer than any office we'll have in this building." John fisted himself firmly and closed his eyes, when he opened them moments later with his bottom lip between his teeth, Sherlock still hadn't moved.
"Now Sherlock! So help me, you've done this, and it needs to be undone before we leave this building. Turn over." John all but growled and Sherlock quickly acquiesced, pulling his trousers down his legs in the process, as John emptied the sachet onto his fingers, and approached Sherlock with care that his voice hid well. One finger became two quickly, and Sherlock moaned into the desk as John massaged his prostrate now and then encouraging him to loosen up.
A quick scissoring motion within Sherlock and John was soon easing his way home savouring each gasp and baritone moan that erupted from Sherlock's mouth. John rested his head on Sherlock's back and kissed him through his jacket before he began to piston his hips fast and hard.
This wasn't "go slow and savour" shag, this was "I need you so badly that if I don't fuck you now I could die" shag, and Sherlock acknowledged that with his own thrusts against John. They moved in a frantic rhythm, and John was soon giving a shout to the arrival of his orgasm.
"Oh shit…oh shit, Sherl…fuck. Fuck." John repeated as he slumped over Sherlock's back rather than falling over.
"Bloody hell John…I think you needed a change in scenery." Sherlock smiled back to John a few minutes later as they both begun to laugh.
"I guess I did. Yeah, well it's been a long while since I did something like this, on someone else's desk, let alone attempting to have sex in a police station. Car parks, and places like that on the other hand…"
"Good ideas for the future there, love. Come on, we should make tracks to get home. What did you tell Greg?" Sherlock asked as John began to clean himself up a bit.
"That we'd take the job, obviously. He will let us know when the contracts are ready to go, and we had a little chat too." John watched as Sherlock pulled his trousers up over his voluptuous derriere.
Sherlock stretched to rid himself of kinks for the journey home before checking John's appearance. He looked at the very least like he had just had a very interesting clinch. John caught him looking and smiled.
"You look just as sated as I do, so let's just…get out of here. Please."
Sherlock smiled and unlocked the door and let John lead out before asking, "What about Mycroft? I mean Greg and Mycroft. Is something going on yet?"
They hit the stairwell and John turned to look at Sherlock fitting his 'work' face on. "How did you…? Never mind. I believe there is mutual interest. We are not getting involved though. Not our business, Sherlock. Let them go at their pace."
"I wasn't going to interfere. Maybe mention to Greg that my brother can be…what?" Sherlock saw John's eyes harden just a touch, "okay, I will stay out of it. We will watch from the side-lines and only offer advice if asked."
"No one will ask you."
John started down the stairs again and Sherlock stopped him on the next level. He stepped into him a touch closer than they had ever before in New Scotland Yard, and Sherlock leaned in. "Please, lets not…bicker, John. Let's just get home and…"
"Oh look who it is then. Found the Freak then did you, John?" Donovan threw up at them on the stairwell.
Anderson was only a step behind her with something to add. "John, how can you bear to have him that close to you? Were you two having a moment or something?"
"No, we were…just on our way home." Sherlock stepped away from John and down a few steps indicating to john to follow.
"Cosy isn't it, Freak? Surprised he still sticks around with you. He can do so much better." Donovan followed them down another step.
John squared his shoulders and turned to Donovan. He'd never hit a woman, and he wasn't about to start now. "You've spoken to Lestrade, I take it. So you know we'll be working closer with you than ever before, right?"
"Bloody ridiculous if you ask me. It's nothing that we can't figure out for ourselves. We don't need him doing it for us." Anderson bit back for Donovan, a right little team, John thought.
"If you could figure it out, we wouldn't have been offered the job. You might want to think about that Anderson." John turned away but pivoted back quickly, "By the way Anderson, you have a lovely desk. It's very perfect for cosy moments between two people who really care about each other, don't you think?"
John left them dumbfounded as he jogged down the stairs past Sherlock and out to the street. For a change he managed to hail a taxi, and they both got in quickly.
"221B Baker Street please, mate." John said firmly as he took up Sherlock's hand and placed his lips on them tenderly. Neither of them spoke until they were almost home, content to watch the city roll by.
"I thought we weren't supposed to antagonise them?" Sherlock said quietly.
"We weren't. Well, no…you weren't, as you have no impulse control. I waited and then told them just enough." John smiled at Sherlock and laughed. "Did you get a look at their faces?"
"Donovan looked as though the world was just about to end, and Anderson…" Sherlock laughed harder.
"I think Anderson knew I was serious, and I don't think that he'll want that desk anymore though." John managed to get out before bursting into a fit of giggles.
Sherlock opened the front door of 221B and they tumbled in. When they both had a foot on the stairs, Mrs Hudson stepped out.
"Hello boys. You look like you've had a good day." They looked at each other and burst into another fit of giggles that had Mrs Hudson nonplussed.
"We have just been offered a proper consultancy position with the Metropolitan Police, Mrs Hudson. Fancy popping up to celebrate?" John offered.
"No, you boys go ahead and celebrate without me. I did enough at the weekend. My hip has been playing up." She turned to go, before she remembered the letter in her hands. "Sherlock this came for you earlier. Was dropped off in person by a very smart looking man. Had a flat chauffeur hat on and everything."
Sherlock took the proffered letter and turned it over in his hands. It was a very posh cream envelope, hand written in familiar ink, familiar writing. It had his and John's names on it. Bugger.
"Ah. Thank you Mrs Hudson. We'll see you later." Sherlock said as he took the stairs two at a time. John lingered a moment and gave Mrs Hudson a peck on the cheek before following up to their flat.
Sherlock was sat in his chair, coat thrown over the back as he turned the letter over in his hands repeatedly.
"Who is it from?"
Sherlock looked up and John saw how pensive he was. What was in the envelope, and why hadn't Sherlock opened it.
"Mummy." Sherlock held the envelope up and gave it to John. John saw Sherlock's name and his own on it. "Open it John, I think that there may be two letters within, or just one for us both."
John opened the envelope, and there were indeed two letters in their own smaller envelopes. There was bulky envelope for Sherlock consisting of several pages, and a thinner one with his name on the outside. He passed off the other to Sherlock and read his own swiftly.
Dear Doctor J.H. Watson,
I have been passed news by way of Mycroft that you are in a relationship with my youngest, and I congratulate you on seeing through the image he loves to portray. Please let me welcome you to the Holmes family by inviting you to the family home in a few weeks for a gathering. Sherlock has the information in his letter, but I have also written them overleaf in case he conveniently forgets.
I look forward to meeting you finally and for the chance of us to get to know each other well enough to be close enough to dispel formality that Mycroft loves to cling to so much.
I have heard many things from both of my sons - all of it good, I assure you – and I look forward to being able to put a face to the name and actions.
Yours truly,
Annabelle Holmes
Sure enough when John looked at the second page there was a date and the address of Holmes Manor. John didn't know what to say as he sat in his chair.
"What did Mummy say to you?" Sherlock asked folding his pages up and sliding them back into the envelope.
"She, ah, welcomed me to the family, said that she was looking forward to meeting me. Mycroft told her about us it seems."
"He never could keep things to himself. She gave me a telling off in my letter. Told me I should have been the one to tell her about us, even if it was a phone call. She wants us to go to a gathering, to meet you."
"I think it's a great idea."
"It's a terrible idea. We're not going, John."
"I thought you loved your Mum."
"I do, but that place…please."
"We're going. Sherlock, to be part of a family is to take all of it, both sides. You've met Harry, and she is all I have. You have Mycroft, your Mum…probably cousins and aunts that can help me to know who you were. I have to at least meet them once."
Sherlock sat in his chair and sulked for a good hour. He just sat and stared into space while John sorted dinner and made calls. Then he sat and wrote one letter to a Mrs A. Holmes confirming the attendance of Sherlock and himself to the party in two weeks time for the Saturday and overnight to the Sunday.
All John had to do was get Sherlock there.

When others encounter you dressed in a robot costume, they will naturally be curious and you're bound to get a few questions. After all, they have been waiting their whole lives to meet a real robot and they are going to be curious. To ensure you are ready for these inquiries, we've come up with a list of ready-to-use answers to the most common questions. Be sure to speak in your best robotic voice when answering!
1. What is the future like? The easiers answer is to say that it is a lot the present except better because there are less humans and more robots. 2. Did you invent the robot dance? Do not ruin this for them, just say yes and move your arms in a perfect imitation of said dance move. Everyone will be happy. 3. Do you have any feelings? This answer could go either way. You could say that you were build with technology that allows you to experience human emotions. Or you could say that emotions are not efficient and you have no need for them. That's it! You're ready to be a cool robot now.

A Jeremy Kyle candidate for total life rehabilitation lost his temper and threatened the TV talk host with violence.
Young Andy could probably use a total personality makeover while he's at it.
After going on the show to take a lie detector test for cheating on his equally unfaithful girlfriend, the boy took offence with Jezza's comments, saying, 'I'll bang you out, you little c***.'
This charming man encouraged his girlfriend, Cheyenne, to prostitute herself in a park and perform oral sex on her dealer in exchange for a pouch of baccy and the obligatory bag of weed.
If that's all the woman is worth to him, I have a feeling the relationship won't last.
Needless to say Jeremy quickly tired of the couple, who'd been together for a fortnight and cheated on each other multiple times, in multiple locations, from the park to the car to their bedroom.
When Jeremy asked the couple why they wanted the (televised) lie detector test, the man responded, 'Well, it's obvious, isn't it?'
Yes, my friend, your desire for 6 seconds of fame at the price of your quickly-waning dignity is pretty obvious… Until he went onto explain that he wanted to 'clear the air', supposedly of the stench of desperation and futility.
While I'm sure the notoriously immature Jeremy welcomes a well-publicised aggressive encounter, I'm tiring of seeing these reprobates gracing my screen. Sort it out, ITV.

My oil temp has been running up to 300 for a while but it's been really bad since we've been in the mid 90's for the whole month of June. I checked the voltage and it was running 250mv. I pulled off the bolt and sanded everything down and it went down to 110mv and after a 15 minute spirited drive my oil temp held steady at around 200*. I was hoping the voltage would of dropped a little more but it's fixed so I'm happy. I did not do the bolts on the back of the heads only the main ground on the the right side.
I've been putting this off for a while because I thought it was going to involve pulling the sensor, but this took all of 5 minutes. I feel like a dummy for not doing it sooner.
I would appreciate it that if you do this and it fixes your problem, please post so.
As I was changing my spark plugs, I found another ground. I had my coil packs off, otherwise I couldn't see it. It's on the back of the passenger side head right above the last plug.
So I finally put a star washer on the fender wall ground. I scratched some paint off, but need to get back in there and do a better job. As is, driving around town with AC and lights on temps were very steady at 222. It used to bounce around 5-10*.
Didn't pay attention to highway temps (this is when mine starts to climb) cuz I was focused on something else.
I'm getting closer every time I mess with it and will post up when I have more to add.
I'm going to check into this too.
I'm sure you guys in the yellow group noticed me at V Day during 1 session just puttering around at 50.
My oil temp had hit 302 and the alarm was going off so I put it into 5th and just cruised for 2 or 3 laps.
I don't think it was an issue with the sensor as the track temps were probably over 100 and I was winding 3rd into the rev limiter quite often.
I did manage to get it to drop during that session and once it sat for lunch it was fine the rest of the day.
I'm guessing the rain cooled the track down plus I was shifting into 4th before redline.
Still something I want to look at tho...
Here are pics of where the voltage is measured and the washer used to "fix" it.
Notice the probe is on the head of the bolt (not the cable terminal).
The voltage being measured (lights and A/C on) is the drop across the junction of the bolt (body ground) to the cable terminal after the washer was installed.
Damn, dopy me did it with the car off.
I'll check it again in a bit, but this is what I got.
Ok this is what I got with everything on.
CRAZY hot the next couple days. If I'm brave enough to go out, it should be a good test.
Turn on the A/C, and the lights for the "acid test".
Pretty interesting to see that much drop huh?
This is a major problem with the high tech electronic monitoring systems in autos.
Ground referenced (single ended) measurements can change when the ground reference is different as the PCM is using "frame ground" and the sensors are using "engine ground".
The sensor sends a variable 5 volt signal to the PCM which got offset almost 1/2 volt (in Reed's car) because of the bad contact.
Because of the low current the sensor draws, the biggest offset it could generate is minimal though its' ground.
To put is simpler, the voltage is correct coming out of the sensor.
The "ground reference" the PCM uses for measurement gets "tricked" by the bad connection into reading a false high (sensor output + offset).
Thanks for the tip! I was dinging all over place yesterday and for the past 5 years. I applied the fix about 20 minutes ago and IT WORKED! It seemed too simple a fix to actually work, but it did. Just before I applied it, my temps were hovering around 270 with out the ac and off the chart with the ac on. right after the fix, 218 without the ac and 224 with the ac. Its 94 in NYC and it's 69 in the car!
Next to FREE, I bet this is the cheapest fix for a problem with the V.
What battery voltage are you guys getting in the DIC? I'm still at low 13s with everything on.
Lowest is 12.8
Highest over 14.
Is my membership up for renewal?

College student Jessie, newly dumped by his girlfriend, decides to cheer himself up by buying a sheet of LSD and driving from New Orleans back to his hometown in Missouri. However, a car malfunction sees him stranded just outside a trailer park in rural Mississippi – and the locals he meets aren't that keen on helping him out, until he offers them some of the acid in exchange for a ride…
Writer and director Sam Gerowin claims Trailer Park Jesus is "based on a true misadventure." As a student in the 90s he apparently did end up stranded at a trailer park with a lot of acid, and the film's main characters are closely modeled on the people he met and tripped with. Sam posted more about his experience in a thread on Reddit last year:
20 years ago, after purchasing a sheet of LSD, I broke down at a trailer park in rural Mississippi. This is the movie we made, based on that crazy experience.
Watch out for…
NB: Mild spoilers follow
From 19m50s: A nod to Easy Rider
"Acid acid? Like in that Denis Hopper movie where they ride their motorcycles into the cemetery?" Psychedelic trips in films tend to be either comic set pieces or nightmarish interludes. Trailer Park Jesus avoids these well-trodden routes, but does include a couple of nice nods to one of the cinema's most memorable lysergic episodes.
From 23m57s: Check your privilege
In this scene, affluent college kid Jessie enters his new friend's trailer and finds a heavily pregnant woman swigging beer and feeding children from a cardboard box of pretzels. On first impressions this scene is a sneering misfire – yet by the closing credits its clear the director has an enormous amount of affection for his characters, and resists portraying them as simply 'poor white trash'.
From 36m02s: Ultimate Fighter Man
A fictional beat 'em up video game in which you throw fish at an avatar of Jesus, who floats around the screen on a cloud. Terrible graphics but a great concept.
From 51m56s: Trailer Park Jesus
The title character finally shows up in a hallucination, and performs a location-appropriate update of the old water-into-wine trick.
From 1h07m27s: Bounty Hunters
Reality comes crashing in towards the film's close, as a trio of bounty hunters show up on the trail of one of Jessie's saviours. However, the trailer park trippers aren't going to give up partying at the first sign of trouble.
What else?
What do you make of Trailer Park Jesus? Let us know in the comment thread below.

Netherlands Antilles (former)
Now: Curacao & Sint Maarten
Netherlands Antilles were two island groups in the Caribbean Sea - one includes Curacao and Bonaire north of Venezuela; the other is east of the Virgin Islands.
Find time:
The Netherlands Antilles (Dutch: Nederlandse Antillen ), also referred to as the Dutch Antilles, was an autonomous Caribbean country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, consisting of two groups of islands in the Lesser Antilles: Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire (ABC Islands), in Leeward Antilles just off the Venezuelan coast; and Sint Eustatius, Saba and Sint Maarten (SSS Islands), in the Leeward Islands southeast of the Virgin Islands.
Aruba seceded in 1986 as a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the rest of the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved on 10 October 2010, resulting in two new constituent countries, Curaçao and Sint Maarten , with the other islands joining the Netherlands as "special municipalities", officially public bodies.
In October 2010, the former Netherlands Antilles was dissolved and the three smallest islands - Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba - became special municipalities in the Netherlands administrative structure. The larger islands of Sint Maarten and Curacao joined the Netherlands and Aruba as constituent countries forming the Kingdom of the Netherlands .
The name 'Netherlands Antilles' is still sometimes used to indicate the Caribbean islands which are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

I Can Help. (Destiny)
He looked at me as though he expected me to shriek "WHAT?!" like the everyday human. But I'm not your everyday human.
"Ok." I looked at him plainly and he looked shocked.
"'Ok.'? This isn't something that happens everyday."
"I know. And you're right, I can help you. But first tell me why you want to run away." I folded my arms across my chest.
"I don't want to get married and my father will make me if I don't leave!" He turned and sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands.
"Good enough for me. The King is letting me off for a month so I get to go home. I'm leaving tomorrow before dawn, you can come." He lifted his head to look at me.
"Doesn't he know where you live?"
"No. I'm not from any of the villages in his kingdom, but I'm still in his kingdom. If you really want to run away, meet me in the stables, Moonlight's stall without your horse. Your dad would suspect me if you took your horse. Don't worry, we can still retrieve him." I turned and walked out the door to pack.

Reluciente, Rechinante y Aterciopelado is the first live album by Colombian band Aterciopelados. It was recorded before a live audience of 140 guests in Bogotá, Colombia, on June 2, 2015 and released as a CD and DVD on April 22, 2016.[1][2] Directed by Roberto de Zubiría and produced by Rafael Arcaurte the album includes featured performances by León Larregui, Spanish singer Macaco, Goyo (ChocQuibTown) and Catalina García (Monsieur Perine).
The proposal to record a concert film was came from Sony Music Colombia after the band's comeback concert at Rock al Parque 2014. After almost two months of rehearsals the concert was recorded. The album contains songs from their previous albums El Dorado, La Pipa de la Paz, Caribe Atómico and Gozo Poderoso as well as songs from solo projects by the members of the band.[3]

Recording and scenery[edit]
The musical pre-production was carried out in Tigo Music Studios by Audiovisión, the studio where the band recorded some of their most well-known works. The concert took place in RTI studios, which was illuminated with lamps made out of 810 bottles of detergent and softeners, a large velvet heart, a tree made of tires and plastic caps, and CDs that served as a framework on the steps. Juan Garces was in charge of the scenery.
The recording consisted of two sessions totaling approximately three hours. The first, beginning with Baracunatana, included El Estuche, El Álbum and Rompecabezas. They then go ahead into a couple solo songs, Soy La Semilla Nativa from Niños Cristal by Buitrago and Yo, one of the most glittering successes from the album Dos by Echeverri. The second session contains an unreleased track called Re which is a tribute to the Mexican band Café Tacuba. It consists of sets of words with the "Re" syllable and a Norteño melody. For the interpretation of Maligno, León Larregui of the band Zoé and Colombian bandoneon player Giovanni Parra were invited t

Ahoy, Filmmakers!
In 2012 there were 83 films from all over the country that entered the Louisiana Film Prize. Come festival time, over 1700 people packed the theaters to see the Top 20 Film Prize Films and a fantastic time was had by all. In fact, last year's contest and festival was so successful that we're back for year two which promises to be a bigger, better, more bad-ass experience.
Summing it up… It's going to be a kick-ass festival weekend. You want to be a part of it.
In 2013, the first thing we did was add more prizes. We're still giving away one of the largest cash prizes in the world for a short film – $50,000, but we're also stepping up with more filmmaking grants. This year we're giving away five $3,000 grants towards the 2014 contest. We've also struck a deal with Shorts International – the distribution company for the Oscar shorts. They are going to take the top five films from this year's LAFP and give them distribution deals to places like iTunes. But we didn't stop there. This year, the top five films are also going to have festival appearances in Dallas, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Memphis. All in all, this means that there could be up to 10 winners at this year's festival instead of four last year. We'd call that a significant bump in chances of winning.
Summing it up… We're giving away a lot of amazing stuff. Prize money, distribution, festivals.
Second thing we're doing is preparing for a larger festival. More venues, more parties, more special events, panel discussions, interviews, and beyond. We are bringing in more national-level judges and are working on new ways to share the festival experience and your experience making film with the world. It's going to be bigger, more refined, and – as always – the filmmaker is king.
We're really jazzed about the films that have registered so far. Yet again we have filmmakers from all over the country descending on Northwest Louisiana to make a film and take a shot at the big prize. Are you one of them? If not, now's the time to get going. You have a little more than two months to the rough cut deadline on midnight the night of July 9th.
Summing it up… You're an idiot if you don't try. Sign up, grab a camera, make it happen!
Register today at www.lafilmprize.com. If you've already registered, be sure to call us to let us know what you need or to let us know when you're filming so we can come visit you on set. If you've already filmed, check out the dates and guidelines for turning in your rough cut, and be sure to send us some photos from your production!
Summing it up… Let us know if you need anything.
We are here to help.

Many people have trouble understanding the distinctions between a prepaid card and a regular credit card. But the difference is pretty easy to see, once it's explained. With a credit card, you are issued a line of credit which you can borrow against, but which you will have to repay. With a prepaid card, you load your own money onto the card initially, and then use it up when you make purchases. You can never go into debt using a prepaid card, because you are simply using up your own money. When it's gone, it's gone. There's nothing to pay back. A prepaid card is much more similar to a debit card than to a credit card. And in fact, many people use prepaid cards instead of having regular checking accounts. Many low-fee prepaid cards are available, and they are a great option for many people.
Other Popular Prepaid & Debit Card FAQs
There are prepaid cards you can apply and which will have your name imprinted on. However, no one of the card issuers will be able to review your application, approve you, and send you a card overnight. The issuing process takes at least two weeks and if it is a credit card it can take […]Continue »
Almost all prepaid cards allow ATM withdrawals abroad, the only difference is fees. For example, consider the American Express® Prepaid Card. The card offers one free ATM withdrawal per month, and you will be charged $2.00 per ATM withdrawal thereafter. Also this card does not have monthly or annual fee. You can compare this card […]Continue »

Adrian: Same Old, Same OldMature
"Adrian! Will you come down here, please?"
I sighed. I turned my head to the side, focusing my eyes on the red numbers on my clock. I closed my eyes and put my hands up to rub the sleep out of them. I tossed the covers back and dragged myself downstairs. Katie was in the kitchen, whisking a bowl of eggs vigorously.
"What?" I asked, sleeping slurring my voice.
"Sara called in. She won't be here this morning. Would you help make breakfast?"
Another sigh. "Sure, Katie." I walked passed her and grabbed some fresh fruit out of the refrigerator. I brought those to the sink and began rinsing them under the cold water.
"Thank you, Adrian," Katie said with a relieved sigh. "I hate asking you to do this --"
"It's fine," I said.
"Espeically because it's your birthday and --"
"Katie!" I said, spinning around. "Stop already. It's fine. I don't mind doing this. And my birthday isn't until Sunday."
"Well, the celebration is today."
I ignored her and began chopping the fruit into smaller pieces. Katie and I continued like that, in silence. She whisking away at the eggs, me washing and chopping fruit. A little while later, I could hear the pitter patter of little feet upstairs. I knew they could hear eggs frying in the pan. Soon enough, one by one, the little kids started trickling down the stairs. My eyes scanned the crowd, looking for one little girl.
I turned around, and there she was. My little girl. She threw her arms around my waist, and pulled my down to her level. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a tight squeeze.
"Hey, Angel," I said. "Sleep good last night?"
"Mm," she said.
"Mm?" I asked, repeating her. "Could you go a little more in depth with that?"
"I had a dream about you," she said.
My eyebrows pulled together. "What about me?"
Angel turned her face up towards me. Her golden eyes were looking at me with a sadness I'd never seen before.
"Nothing," she said. "I'll tell you later."
Then she turned away and joined the rest of the orphans at the breakfast table. Katie sat at the head and I sat at the opposite end; Angel sat on my right.
"Let us pray," Katie said.
Everyone at the table grasped hands, and Angel gently placed her small one in mine. My eyes were shut tightly as I waited for what I knew was coming.
"Dear Lord," Katie began.
It hit. As soon as Katie said those words -- as she did everyday -- a tight, buring pain gripped my chest. It was like a fire, an unrelinquishing inferno that started at my heart and spread throughout my entire body; burning me from the inside out.
"Amen," the rest of the table murmered.
"Amen," I grunted.
"Adrian?" Angel's soft voice brought me back. My hands were shaking, Angel's hand was being crushed inside my own. I pulled my hand back, stood up suddenly and raced to the bathroom. I slammed the door and leaned over the sink.
It was different this time. Even after the prayer had finished, the raging flames had not subsided. They continued, even now. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Beads of sweat decorated my face and plastered my curly black hair to my forehead.
My hands grasped both sides of the porcelin sink as I fought the fire inside me. Eventually, the flames seemed to settle and I was able to extinguish them entirely. I turned the faucet on and splashed it's cool water over my face.
I stared into the mirror one last time.
In time to see five other faces fade away.

Only one of the four dogs – a female Queensland heeler mix that was found shot and wounded, as previously reported, on Jan. 22 – has survived.
After an announcement Wednesday that two other dogs had been shot to death in la Cienega, a fourth shooting, also fatal, was reported by the dog's owner, according to Mendoza.
"We are looking for any information on the (other) dog owners and the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the dogs," said Mendoza. Authorities are not sure if the shootings are linked, but they all took place within a three-mile radius, Mendoza said.
"We don't have any suspects right now," he added.
His office is awaiting details from the owner of the latest dog that was killed.
The owner has an idea of when but is unsure of where the shooting took place and there is no information yet on the dog's breed, Mendoza said.
In the first incident from Jan. 22, the heeler mix, estimated to be about 18 months-old, was shot in the leg and neck. The dog was found on La Luna Road and is recovering after surgery at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter.
In the second case, two unneutered male dogs were found shot dead near County 56 and County Road 54 A in the Ranchos de las Golondrinas area on Jan. 28. One dog was shot in the neck and the other in a front leg and the head.
Both dogs had long, golden brown fur. One weighed 80 pounds and the other 45, and they were possibly father and son.
Animal Protection of New Mexico is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of "those responsible for these cruel acts," Animal Protection said in a news release.
Anyone with information, which can be given anonymously, may call the state Attorney General's Office's Animal Cruelty Hot Line at 877-5-HUMANE (877-548-6263).
"We encourage anyone with information on these dogs or the shootings to come forward," Mendoza said.

When your Chevrolet G20 was born, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes long-lasting quality in their automobile. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted repair parts to fix your G20. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a trusted name built into each Chevrolet, and know that only top quality replacement G20 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Make no mistake, you bought your G20 because you wanted to buy performance and good looks both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV.
If steering weren't important, then all of our roads would be completely straight and there would be no need to turn. That would surely not be a pleasurable experience for Chevrolet G20 owners, and it would also mean that the pitman arm would likely never have been invented. Your pitman arm is an important component in your steering system, as it transmits your turns on the steering wheel to the rest of the linkage components. While steering, the Chevrolet G20 pitman arm turns along with the steering wheel; pushing the center link in the direction you want to turn. It then pushes one set of tie rods and pulls the other, which is what turns your wheels.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Chevrolet G20 part for your project or repair. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Don't let a Pitman Arm repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best repair parts. When it comes to Chevrolet G20 Pitman Arm parts, you can find them for 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Amazing friendly cheer and dance studio with beautiful caring staff. I have seen my daughter in the short 10 months that we have been with Inferno grow as a dancer and a competitive cheerleader from having never cheered to being a confident novice cheerleader who is alway excited and eager to go to Inferno!!!
My daughter started Competitive Cheer with Inferno Cheer and Dance this year. Her ability and confidence has soared. The teachers are dedicated, friendly, and approachable. They teach the students that hard work really does pay off. With both State and National titles, amongst many others won this year, my daughter couldn't be happier! She has made so many new friends within Inferno and the cheer community and has a great time every time she goes to class. She also attends many other classes such as Tap, strength and flex, tumbling and POM. Her skill level improves with every class and the support and encouragement given by her teachers has allowed her to become a confident, enthusiastic dancer. I cannot fault their level of commitment and would highly recommended Inferno Cheer and Dance to anyone!

What a great place to keep kids fit and healthy. Just what Sydney needed. The service, venue and instructors are all of great quality and dedication. Thanks guys.! We needed you.

Supplying Model Makers since 1895
Telephone us on: 01508 549330
This is a plastic model kit of the 1/35 Scale Stegosaurus Stenops Prehistoric Dinosaur from Tamiya. It has been thoroughly researched to be as accurate in appearance, scale and pose as possible.
The Stegosauris Stenops was perhaps the best known of all the plated, or armoured dinosaurs that lived during the late Jurassic period some 195 - 136 million years ago. With a length of six metres and a weight of about 2 tons, this peaceful vegetarian is believed to have lived in the swampy areas of the world, feeding upon soft plants that grew in humid and hot climates.
It had an extremely small head, as compared with the size of its body, and its brain was believed to have been the size of a walnut. It's now believed that this brain only worked the jaws and warned when food or danger was near. It had a small birdlike beak and chewed its food with small, deepset teeth. To facilitate movement, it had two additional brains or nerve systems which moved the legs and swung the tail in a danger situation. Due to the closeness of the bones in the tail it is felt that the Stegosaurus could only make short protective movements with its spike studded tail, rather then swing it round freely for safety from other Carnivores. The twin rows of boney plates are thought to have been for protection of its spinal column.

Painting the model:
The true colouration of dinosaurs is unknown, but living reptiles of this day and age, such as crocodiles, are a good example of what colour Jurassic age reptiles were.

In-house lawyers have perhaps the most political jobs in modern business. Nestled at the heart of the company, they are often closest to the power centre. Because of this, much of their time is spent trying to reconcile the art of the impossible with the science of the improbable, while working for the generally incapable.
A good guide to the muddy waters of modern management is, therefore, greatly needed. The 48 Laws of Power is more a self-help book than a management guide, but a self-help book with a twist. Rather than provide strategies to help you be a more rounded member of your team or give you that extra lift to help you cope with the strains of the cyber age, this book is aimed at the modern-day Machiavel.
The 48 Laws of Power is a fairly innocuous title. It could be better named The Little Book of Back-Stabbing, Men are from Hades, Women are from Hell or Shark Soup for the Soul.
The book is a gift to those of you who cannot be bothered to read the Art of War, The Prince or wade through the biographies of Cromwell, Napoleon or Stalin. You get an almost delicious delight in reading chapters titled "Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit", "Use absence to increase your respect and honour" and "Crush your enemy totally".
But by the 23rd law your pleasure starts to wane as your growing sense of unease tells you that you are relishing this a little too much.
By the 36th law, you start to feel unclean and worried about your own morality. By the 44th, you have accepted the fact that you are basically immoral and so is the world. By the time you reach number 48 you are saying: "Right, who is my first victim?"
The greatest value in the book is that it does advise prudence and caution in dealing with those in authority and like its more folksy self-help cousins it can be useful in times of stress. Some recommendations are useful queues for dealing with powerful people, obvious in their simplicity – "Never outshine the master" and "Always say less than necessary". But as guides to action, they are, thankfully, useless.
The underlying irony in this is that even the much-maligned Niccolo Machiavelli was not a Machiavel. He had a strong ethical belief that the pursuit of power should not be merely for the self-aggrandisement of The Prince, but in the interests of civic virtue – however, that would probably make a very boring book.


text: The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire (1971) In Dublin, a young woman is brutally murdered in her home by a maniac that throws acid in her face and then slits her throat with a razor. Her mangled body is later discovered in the boot of a limousine owned by the Swiss Ambassador Sobiesky. The Ambassador, who was the dead woman's lover, refuses to cooperate with the police due to his diplomatic immunity. John Norton, an ex-cop famed for his brutal working methods, is brought in to help and gets too deeply involved when he stars an affair with the Ambassador's beautiful step-daughter, Helen. Meanwhile, the brutal killings continue..
