Eight-year board member Patricia Rush success Wise as chairman. Wise will remain as vice chairman through the end of the year when Wise will have served on the board for 21 years, 12 as its chairman. Wise is no stranger to service. A native of Manhattan, he spent six and one- half years in the Navy, serving in both World War II and the Korean War. Between military stints he acquired a degree in electrical engineering from Yale University with a minor in forestry. Following his discharge from the Navy, Wise joined his father's wholesale lumber business from which he retired as president two years ago.
Wise, his wife Alice and their three children moved to Chatham in 1961.
Natural Outgrowth
His interest in the Planning Board, which he considers a natural outgrowth of his construction-involved career, led him to begin attending the board's twice-monthly meetings.
In 1981 he accepted the invitation to become a working member.
At one point, Wise was chairman of both the Planning Board and Board of Adjustment. As such, his leadership has been credited with maintaining the town's growth rate at a moderate level or, as he put it, "Things have developed at a controlled pace."
Wise has a reputation for untiring application to the job. He believes in "getting his hands dirty," keeping lines of communication open and studying all sides of an issue to assure that the town's position is clear and all applicants are treated fairly.
He conducts meetings with a deceptively easy going, but straightforward style.
The High Point
Wise said the high point of his tenure was the writing of the current (year 2000) master plan, a compendium of iinformation on "what Chat ham is and will be."
Revised every five years, the master plan is usually contracted to an outside firm, but Wise agreed with his current board to doe it in-house, parceling out some of the work to the members.
The result, according to Wise, is "we know what's in it." The job took Wise four years to coordinate and assemble.
The Planning Board chairman's role is to run board meetings, oversee updates o f the municipal code relating to land use, and working with the borough Construction Office, handle certain types of applications for variances. "The other day I met a lady who was returning to Chatham after a 40-year absence," Wise said. "She commented that it hasn't changed much. I took that as a compliment."

People who invent unique products and processes need patent prosecution attorneys to apply for government protection of their inventions. Patent application lawyers are uniquely qualified to file your patents with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office, as they know what to file to show the unique quality of your invention and can clarify precisely why it differs from other similar patented inventions. The process is complex and a patent prosecution attorney usually has a related technical background. For example, a patent application attorney working on new cancer drugs may have a microbiology degree, or one working on new operating systems may have a computer science degree.

Goodbye to the few who care
Yup I'm out of here too. sorry any of you who care (especially CountMario) this forum has really gotten out of control... Yeah I know its just with this so-called leak but really these forums have been spiraling down ever since I joined. I will miss a few things here but I think it's for the best. I feel that I have matured a lot since joining this (especially from the batman incident) and its that maturity that makes me say so long to those who care.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Gold Coast, Sept 28 (ANI): The Gold Coast in Australia is set to hold its first bikini-clad women race on the racecourse, which will become an annual event at the race meeting of the summer season.
The Gold Coast Turf Club came up with the plan, which will see up to 150 women, who must wear bikinis and running shoes, compete through a knockout system for a first prize of 5000 dollars.
The event is the brainchild of eccentric chairman Andrew Eggleston, and has been copied from America's famed Hollywood Park racecourse, which holds a similar event with success annually.
Turf Club chief executive Grant Sheather acknowledged some may see the event as degrading, but declared it would become an annual race to spice up and promote the summer season of racing.
"There will be some people that raise their eyebrows, that is to be expected," Goldcoast.com.au quoted him as saying.
"When people say 'Gold Coast' you think of beach, you think of girls and you think of bikinis, it's a marketing ploy to build racing.
"It will be done in good taste and we are trying to attract some competitive runners, we want to see the sports stars, the surf lifesaving stars, it would be ideal if they took it out," he stated.
Gold Coast based Women In Racing group last night said they would support anything which promotes racing, but conceded there could be better ways to market the industry.
"Any publicity is good publicity, but I feel using ladies jumping out of the barriers is akin to someone jumping out of a birthday cake," director Jennifer Bartels said.
"We love anyone who will promote racing, but perhaps this isn't quite racing. Good luck to them though," she added.
Area councillor Susie Douglas said she was bewildered by the race, but said it would achieve the marketing and talking point the club hoped for.
"We're a coastal city, we have lots of beautiful women, if they want to have fun that's fine," she stated. (ANI)

Barrett Hartsock Was Dying For A Little Sleep - Jailed After Breaking Into Funeral Home, Sleeping In Casket
Bristol, Tenn. (The Weekly Vice) - Barrett Lance Hartsock of Bristol Tennessee was jailed Tuesday after he allegedly broke into a funeral home and slept in one of the caskets.
According to police, officers were dispatched Tuesday morning after employees at Weaver's Funeral Home in Bristol walked in and found two men asleep in funeral home caskets.
Investigators say two men broke into the funeral home overnight and fell asleep in two of the funeral home's caskets. When the employees told the men they were calling police, the two men jumped out of a window and fled the premises.
Barrett Hartsock was captured, however the second man has not been found. Detectives say the two men caused more than $9,000 in damages to the caskets they slept in.
Hartsock was booked into jail on charges of burglary and vandalism over $1,000.

In the shadow of a $2.5 billion deal, one famed game dev slips away
J Thoendell stashed this in Video Games
Source: http://www.polygon.com/2014/9/15/6154541...
He writes of how Minecraft, which has sold more than 50 million copies around the world, became this thing that seemed beyond him, a huge hit that people told him was changing the game industry. He talks about trying to make lightning strike a second time with a new game and how that game sort of fell apart.
But what seemed to solidify Persson's growing concerns and desire to leave was seeing another developer go through the same gauntlet of celebrity he felt he has endured.
While Fez isn't nearly as popular as Minecraft, developer Phil Fish became an internet celebrity through his terse comments and stylistic approach to game design. That celebrity brought with it a crowd of people who seemed to hate the developer.
Notch saw in Fish his future, or at least one he feared.
He worried that in sticking with Mojang and Minecraft he had some how stopped being a developer and become to fans a symbol. He worried that he had lost his connection with those who played his games.
"I've become a symbol," he wrote. "I don't want to be a symbol, responsible for something huge that I don't understand, that I don't want to work on, that keeps coming back to me. I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm not a CEO. I'm a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter."
Persson is leaving because he didn't belong, or at least he felt he didn't. The game he created in his spare time while working another job, the game he so cautiously uploaded a video of to YouTube as simply "cave game" in 2009, has, Notch believes, become more important than its creator.
Stashed in: Founders, Microsoft, Minecraft, Games, Gamers!
It remains to be seen whether Minecraft will thrive or decay as part of Microsoft.
He sold the company to buy himself the freedom to fail again. That is an amazing thing that entrepreneurs find difficult to explain.

Watching the Glendale Workshop... Seriously, I don't like that Tindall guy answering to Norma Alvarez simple question about leguality of what they are doing... From a lawyer I would expect a yes or no answer but all he can say is... "In my opinion, I think that" and all evasives things like that... Never giving the facts...:shakehead
Is the workshop on right now?
[MOD - remember TL, you must add verbiage, some radishes, tomato's to go with the Emoticom Salads your so fond of - no garnish, no dressing, just add but one single raisin plz; otherwise posts will disappear]
I'm just saying expecting a straight answer from a lawyer may result in disappointment. That's all.
No offense to any of our attorney friends.
So Glendale did their excise bond issue without incident on Friday. $239 million, 5% coupon, bid at premium. Not sure the effective yield but I guess 3% to 4%. Should help the cause.
These bonds are different than those that they tried to issue this past January. You could say those bonds had no collateral, while these have a lien against Glendale tax receipts.
These are also similar to the Hulzinger parking bonds inasmuch as those were to be backed by the parking fees that were supposed to be collected. The issue however is that even under the most ridiculously optimistic assumptions the parking fees would not cover the interest on the bonds for several years, so they were effectively Glendale general obligation bonds even though they were not technically so.
Watch this whole thing get settled on the 21st, and then all the fools that doubted the Mayans will be shown up for all eternity.
Or not. Equally likely.

|RE: Mutation dropped
|Mon, 18 Feb 2013 12:48:48 GMT
Thanks Aaron. Does the rpc_timeout not control the client timeout ? Is there any param which is configurable to control the replication timeout between nodes ? Or the same param is used to control that since the other node is also like a client ? From: aaron morton [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: 17 February 2013 11:26 To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Mutation dropped You are hitting the maximum throughput on the cluster. The messages are dropped because the node fails to start processing them before rpc_timeout. However the request is still a success because the client requested CL was achieved. Testing with RF 2 and CL 1 really just tests the disks on one local machine. Both nodes replicate each row, and writes are sent to each replica, so the only thing the client is waiting on is the local node to write to it's commit log. Testing with (and running in prod) RF3 and CL QUROUM is a more real world scenario.

Kelvin Wilson is baffled Celtic team-mate Gary Hooper was not called up for England's friendly against Holland.
The Hoops striker has netted an impressive 20 goals so far this season to help fire Neil Lennon's men into a commanding lead at the summit of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
But his efforts were not enough to catch the eye of Stuart Pearce and earn himself a place in the squad for Wednesday's clash at Wembley. Asked if he believes England scouts discount players in the SPL, Wilson said: "I don't know how it works but I think Gary deserves one (a call-up)."
He added: "This is the second season he's scored goals here and he's not just a goalscorer, his all-round play is very good.
"I'm surprised he's not at least in the squad."
The Celtic defender added: "People say the English league is stronger than the Scottish one.
"I think they called up David Nugent and Jay Bothroyd before when he was playing in the Championship.
"They're saying the league is weak up here but why are they calling up players from that league and not Gary Hooper?
"I think he's got to just keep doing what he's doing.
"If he gets picked, he gets picked. If not, he'll just keep scoring goals."

BART Talks Back: AgencyŌĆÖs Twitter Account Responds to User Complaints
Joyce Park stashed this in Tech biz
Stashed in: Twitter!, Transportation!, Bay Area Housing
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Super interesting moment: government agency uses social media to gently but firmly educate people (most of them seem like pretty young people) about the consequences of the Bay Area's decades-long lack of infrastructure investment and anti-growth policies.
Seems like using Twitter for this is less effective than writing longer, more permanent posts about it.
Or is the point that one-on-one responses is the best way to educate people about something like why BART is having issues?

GSCM Fulfillment Keeps taking money from my checking account monthly for unordered supplements Burbank California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I responsed to an ad on the computer promoting a supplement for weight loss. I was promised a free trial. I began to receive monthly refills and charges to my checking account. When I found the phone number on the internet. I always found the number busy. There are no markings on the package and in the flyer inside there is no ammount paid.

Where to now ?
In the lab,the results of Robert`s exam were ready to go to the doctor`s office prior to his rounds,one single result that put his life in more peril.
The parents had just return to the hospital and were making their way back to Robert`s wing when they saw both Laura and David,walking outside in the garden surronding the building,they didn`t seemed to be talking much, but instead had reached a confortable silence.Sarah felt more relieve to know Laura was already up and active from the imposed recovery period after the biopsy.She still need it to find out if she required any special treatment when returning home,but with all that had happen it had slipped her mind to ask the doctor!!!
Richard also observed the two of them,and he tought about a diferent pair of kids that at a similiar age had done the same in more happy circumstances,himself and Sarah.It was almost time for the morning rounds so he raised his voice in order to be heard over the parking cars and shouted them in.
A stern group took the elevator,not talking and in general thinking what would be the outcome of the results.
In front of the admission desk,they saw his doctor talking to nurses that were about to change shifts,the clock on the wall read 8 o`clock.Soon...
Robert was already awake when they open the door to his room , he was just there laying on bed not really looking at anything,the curtains were drawn open and the sunlight shinned thru into the room,bringing warmth.And yet he did not smile when he saw them,he remained quiet.
Richard aproached the bed and took hold of his hand. " Soon,we will now.Your doctor is starting the rounds now."
He had barely spoken when the door opened and a small person they had never seen asked if this was Robert`s room.
From the bed Robert`s face lightened up for the first time since being admited to hospital. " Misty, what are you doing here ?"
" I got you letter,so i came to see how you are,i try to reach you at home,but your maid said that you were here in hospital."
From Laura,to David and Sarah as well as Richard they all looked at Robert waiting to see his answer,but before he could even attempt to say anything his doctor entered the room.
" Mr and Mrs. Price i have the results with me,would you like to speak in private first ?"
They had shared bad and good news since this had started all together so they said no with their head and joined together in a group for moral support to hear what he had to say.
" I am sorry to tell you that aldough Sarah is a very good match, we will keep in mind in case of Robert`s health takes a turn for the worst, she is only an 86%,she isn`t a very strong match for him,again i am trully sorry.We should get together soon in order to discuss where do we go from here. "
Desbelieve was present in every single face,in the room.
But again it was Robert that once again surprise them all by the maturity of his question and resilient attitude.
" If Laura was a strong match that means that out there it exists others,right ?So all that you have to do is keep looking."
It seemed to David that behind his courage to look for an answer there was Misty involved,but he kept his opinion to himself.
His doctor nodded in agreement ,it was good that the kid was in high spirits,because his blood results that had come back with the biopsy one,only spoke of how sick he really was,the race in order to find a bone marrow had just take a new meaning all together.
To Misty who had just been informed of his disease by letter as well about the way he felt about her,this was some disturbing knews,she had first noticed him last year in P,E class,with his pretty looks,Robert was every girls favorite and yet just after the start of the school year he had been seen less and less now that she knew of his disease it all made sense and yet she was angry he had lost so much time in order to say how he trully felt. " Can every single person be tested ?Or do you have an age limit ?
Once Misty put the question in the open, an idea formed in David`s brain." Yes,that is a good question,because if the answer is no to the age limit i know were we can find a lot of possible matchs."
Every one of them looked at David for his idea,he only looked in Robert`s eyes in order to answer: " We post a message in every single school in the country,that should provide you with a match,in the mean time i want to get tested as well."
A smile of gratitude past between both brothers,and out of bad news a bit of hope started to form...

F$%k what you heard God Hand was insane, especially if your an anime fan, check it out. Beyond good and evil was good, hell i downloaded it on the P3 still a winner. Don't know about those other ones.
The list is bullspit, i own a wii u and i don't care about most of these games, windwaker hd, well it better be a complete overhaul that truly takes advantage of the wii u's supposed capabilities. Where is the New Zelda, new mario, new smash bros, new mario kart, or bayonetta 2, or any other game that isn't geared towards a f@#$ing 5 year old, phinea and ferb, you gotta be fu#$ing kidding me. I'm startintg to hate nintendo for being so stupid when it comes to marketing.
The twitter account is a misdirection, by saying its twitter, they'll be looking there instead of where the real leak is coming from. At least thats how i would do it.
@ Gildarts how much did they pay?
@Gildarts, how much did they pay you to join their pr team? News flash, your in the one percent of flesh bags who thinks that way about Microscrew.
Ps4 doesn't have to do SH$!. MS is practically handing it to them.
Here's some data MS can collect.. Yooouuu Suck ( homer simpson voice) and my dollars will be going to the Ps4
Yeah right,and i'm getting a million bucks every minute for a whole day... yawnnn, then i woke up, just like the person who wrote this article in their dreams.
This is a joke, a farce right. Because when making video games who are you making them for idiot? Oh lets see, just off the top of my head.. GAMERS WHO PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
@Psvita, true, but thats Sonys bag even
if they're just blowing smoke, they considered the gamer somewhat. Whereas Ms just said,f#$k the gamer. Don't care if you just spent 60 bucks on destiny or AC 4 for the 360, which are also releasing on the X1.. Redundant
It's gonna come down to exclusive games for the x1, if the same games drop for the ps4, it's the axe for microsoft. People are still gonna buy the console though, but i predict a staggering number of units not moving. Kinda like the Wii u is not moving any units now. Of course this could all change, fair price, exclusive games, xbox1 slim, improved software before launch. Actually that's just ridiculous none of this is gonna happen. Backspace....
yeah right, microsoft just plains sucks and sony is about games, they actually listen to the people who plays games is all.
One day is enough if you have gained over a 75% disapproval rating with gamers in general, it's probably gone up. Because lets be pefectly honest, gamers buy video game consoles. The majority of sells of consoles comes from gamers.
Bayonetta, Zelda u, Mario U, Smash bros U, who knows what else,. They're just getting started ,they started slow, but if they can deliver with the games. This is the first of many victories for the N.
Not when there still releasing games for the current gen system, that are great. It's redundant.
That's a lie
Great reviews for the game, downloaded but haven't played yet. Boing..
popular in japan more so, and in the us among a select group.
Your terrible for voicing your stupid opinion..sorry i shouldn't said that

Here at IT Business Edge, we've written a lot about age discrimination and the youth-centered culture prevalent at many tech companies. The words of Professor Peter Cappelli at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, reported by Bloomberg, have proved haunting:
"We don't want to have to train anybody, and when those skills become obsolete, we don't want to retrain them," he says. Companies tend to hire people with IT engineering degrees, use those skills for five years, and then they want a new crop, says Cappelli, who researches human resource practices and talent management.
There's been plenty of depressing news for older workers, especially after U.S. News & World Report reported that the jobs being created after the recession were not going to workers of a certain age.
And yet companies still bemoan the difficulty in hiring for important technical positions. In a CNET article on ProMatch, "an interactive career resource center" for Silicon Valley job seekers, however, the "experienced" workers who use it describe the sessions there as "supportive" and "upbeat." The takeaway from that article is that older workers can find new employment - many simply need to learn about the new ways of networking, including LinkedIn and Facebook. (It seems the value of this face-to-face networking can't be underestimated, though.)
The key to finding a new job, as always, is offering skills that employers need. According to the article:
... given today's shortage of top-tier engineers, talent is the most valuable currency of all, and those who can do a good job of presenting in-demand skills are getting hired, sometimes specifically because of their years in the field.
Hiring older workers as contractors - even retirees - can be a winning strategy and one increasingly being used in IT and engineering, according to an article at ere.net. It's a strategy being embraced by the federal government. The article quotes Greg Doersching, founder of Bullseye Recruiting Process, as saying:
Companies are losing way too much experience with the retirement of the Baby Boomers. Some companies are sucking that experience back in on contract. They don't have enough people to replace all of that experience.

The Betrayal
Earth has failed her and let her fall into the Darkness.
Earth with his open arms and kind smile, who caught her and stole her wings for his unknown selfish greed.
Letting her fall into the Darkness.
A Darkness full of self-hatred and misery.
Then the Earth lookd down and laughed at what he had done; at the pain he had caused her.
He looked down and sung:
"Sweet, little Angel, how fast you fell. I took what I wanted and left you in pain. Now you shall be alone and unloved for all eternity. May your blood be your tears when you have none to cry. For all alone, you shall die."
~Forever a Fallen Angel~

Three years ago, when Google and its products were not quite so potent and ubiquitous, a reporter for the technology website CNET News did a quick experiment with the company's internet search tools. For half an hour she would find out as much personal information as possible about a revered Silicon Valley business executive. In a few dozen predictable clicks and keystrokes, she had his home address, his hobbies, the level of his wealth and his political affiliations. As a case study of how Google has eroded the privacy of even the most powerful it was a useful and justifiable exercise, especially as she did not include the most sensitive material in the story she wrote.
The executive did not see it like that. His corporation informed CNET that its use of "private information" had been highly inappropriate. As a punishment, the corporation would not speak to CNET reporters for a year. After a few weeks, the ban was quietly lifted, but among those who follow the computer industry the incident has not been forgotten, for one reason. The prickly executive involved was Eric Schmidt, the CEO and public face of Google.
This sharp-eyed book, written by a business professor who teaches in Silicon Valley and has been publishing volumes on related topics since the mid-90s, is full of such telling revelations about one of the world's most important companies. Despite the subtitle, this is not really a study of the social effects of Google's unprecedented attempt to "organise the world's information and make it universally accessible", as the firm's first press release put it in 1999. Instead, it is a restless examination of Google's strengths and weaknesses, and contradictions. Stross is not a hatchet man or a frustrated outsider: his thank-yous to Google staff from Schmidt downwards take up three paragraphs of the acknowledgments. But the company that emerges from this book is a more rickety and interesting enterprise than non-geeks might imagine.
For a start, Google is still quite small. At the end of 2007, despite almost a decade of feverish growth and handling two-thirds of all internet searches in the US, it had fewer than 17,000 employees, only twice as many as the London borough of Camden. Visiting the Googleplex, the company's main compound, Stross finds that "the signature buildings are not much bigger than those of a single suburban high school". Similarly, for all Google's proliferating, seemingly all-pervading desktop services, from Google Maps to Google Apps, from Google Book Search to Google Earth, from Gmail to YouTube, which it bought in 2006 for almost £1bn, Google still only has one business in the traditional, profit-driven sense: the selling of modest text-only advertisements next to its internet search results.
Stross describes lucidly how the company came up with and refined its search business. He points out that Google's ingenious strategy - making billions by matching ads to content it does not own - is reliant on much of the internet remaining an open, under-commercialised environment. "If even a small number of owners of [popular] websites were to exclude Google ... demanding, perhaps, that Google share revenue earned by indexing their sites ... then Google's ability to operate as it has would end," he writes.
The book also deals properly with the physical side of building a digital empire. Early on, Google chose as its hardware "a system cobbled together with inexpensive PC components" rather than more costly specialist equipment. This was a clever, counter-intuitive decision, the first of many. Google's racks of cheap servers could easily be expanded or others added. The company then set about placing them as close to its potential customers as possible. Stross explains: "As fast as electrons travel, physical distance still affects [online] response speed ... Reducing [it] by even a fraction of a second mattered to users, as Google discovered when it ran experiments to see if users noticed a difference between [a wait of] 0.9 seconds [and one of] 0.4 seconds ... Users were conspicuously more likely to grow bored and leave the Google site after waiting that interminable 0.9 seconds."
As quick and pragmatic as its customers, Google spent the early years of this decade securing premises across America for its servers: first in commercial spaces desperate for tenants after the 2001 dotcom crash, then in its own purpose-built "data centres". Such was the surging demand for its services, and the amount of power the company was consuming as a result, the first such facility was established in a town with its own hydro-electric power station.
Google's data centres function with almost no human intervention; their interiors are kept dark to save power, and research visits are not allowed. For some of Google's critics, these places are the perfect symbol of an enigmatic, over-mighty company. But Stross, for all his scepticism, does not see Google as a sinister monolith. Instead, he portrays it as an eccentric corporate environment, where teams of young Californians with PhDs work obsessively and autonomously, where grand company projects rise and fall, or are left half-completed, depending on the level of interest in the cubicles, and where an impatience to conquer the next digital frontier coexists with a deep conservatism that has kept Google wedded to the same basic internet search concept for 10 years.
Whether web users will remain satisfied for many more years with the long shaggy lists of online sources that Google offers them is a question, frustratingly, that Stross does not properly answer. He does outline the menace to the company posed by the highly successful social networking site Facebook, "a miniature web universe - behind a wall, inaccessible to Google". And he lists other threats. Google's copyright dispute with publishers over its desire to make all books electronically searchable remains unresolved. Google's ad revenue may shrink, and no longer be sufficient to subsidise all its other, more experimental activities. Like most of today's swaggering web businesses, Google may have come through the dotcom crash but it has never experienced a broader recession. Finally, there are the discouraging precedents offered by industry history. "No computer company," writes Stross, "has ever been able to enjoy pre-eminence that spans two successive technological eras."
This is a slightly dry book, the prose compact rather than elegant. But when so much of what is written about Silicon Valley and the web generally is still either self-servingly evangelical or sour and conspiratorial, agnostics about the whole enterprise have to find insight where they can. And Stross does include at least one rare piece of reassurance for journalists or fans of old media. According to him, Google News, the company's online attempt at sifting and presenting news stories by purely electronic means, has not been a great success. Its competitor Yahoo News gets three times as much traffic. The Yahoo site's secret? It is edited by humans.

Carson Brice:
Waking up in the early morning to the annoying ring of my alarm isn't something I look forward too each day, but on this particular morning, I felt satisfied and loved. I woke up staring at the white ceiling above me. I felt her stir next to me as I shut off that stupid alarm. I leaned down and kissed her neck softly.
"Good morning love." I whispered to her gently. She smiled and turned her way towards me. Her pale green eyes shined. Her blonde hair curled from lasts nights' heat. She kissed me passionately for a few moments before replying to me.
"Good morning. Last night was amazing. I'm so glad I'm waking up to you." She rolled over and was onto of me again. She wrapped her arms around me and listened while I talked.
"I just can't believe I did it last night. I always thought I'd wait till after grad to finish but I guess not. But I'm glad it was with you, Kylie. I grinned at her while she laughed.
"Come on, we have to get ready for school. Wait, is your mom still here?" she asked while glancing nervously at my closed door. I chuckled and shook my head. My mom was away at a business trip for a few days. She sighed and got up. She hugged to the white sheet from my bed, it clinging itself to her flawless nude body. I felt aroused as I thought back to last night. After escaping that boring party we came back to my house.
It was great.
Though I do feel kind of guilty seeing as a few hours before the sex I told myself I wasn't going to do it until I was ready. Guess I was. I watched as Kylie skipped her merry little way to my bathroom before giving me a wink. I grinned childish at her. But once she was out of sight, I flopped back down on my bed.
God, I can't believe I did something so crazy. So wild. And with Kylie Night? I ought to get props for that. Though I am still with Gracie.
Oh no. Oh crap! I totally forgot about Gracie! What am I going to say to her when I see her? Will I be able to lie to her face? Or will I admit that I cheated. Now that would be stupid. I should just keep my mouth shut until I figure this all out! STOP TALKING IN YOUR HEAD!
Kylie came out, wearing the same clothes she had on last night. She was frantically running her fingers through her hari, trying to untangle the knots. I quickly looked at the clock and noticed we only had another hour left before school. I still needed to take Kylie home. I threw on some washed out blue jeans and a simple black t-shirt. I ran out the door whilst grabbed Kylie's hand. We raced down the stairs and out the door. I got to her house quickly and sat there waiting while she got ready for school. While I waited, I thought about Gracie.
What would be her reaction if she found out? Will she ever find out? I don't want to dump her because I still care about her but Kylie and I have this chemistry that just works out great! But I can't have two girlfriends!
I groaned and bang my head on the steering wheel, which only made it honk. I needed help.

Fruit trees like cacao, mango, papaya, lemon, bananas, water apple, pineapple, soursop and cashewnut, rambutan and mangistan. But also all kinds of heliconias, bougainvillea, hibiscus, orchids, ixora, gingers, etlingera elatior grow under the ylang ylang tree, lipstick palm and huge ficus trees. Two little creeks and one river cross our garden where the Jesus Christ lizard and turtles live. If you walk in the jungle garden don't be surprised to meet our iguanas!
80% of what we need in electricity is produced by our solar panels. Look here for more information.
