Cayden: CrazyMature
I spent the rest of the day jerking off over Maxxie and John and every hot guy I've ever known, with the exception of Gage, of course. It was kinda creepy when me and Hadley came at the same time once but I got over it. I s'pose it would've been creepier if I'd been jerking off over Maxxie but thankfully I'd moved on to John. Fucking dick. Couldn't he have dumped me when my sex drive was still disgustingly low?
I waited til Hadley left for work the next day before going in search of Maxxie. He was in the kitchen making himself some breakfast and I snuck up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist. He turned around and my hands found his hips, squeezing a little as he chewed his food.
"Care to swallow that sometime soon?"
He swallowed his cereal and I pressed my lips to his forcefully. He hesitated a little before kissing back, making me hum. He put his cereal down and my hands moved to his ass, my lips still crushed against his. His hands found my waist and I stripped him of his boxers, steering him towards the wall as I gripped a fistful of his hair.
"You look so fucking gorgeous" I said as he looked up at me innocently, biting his lip.
He tilted his head as I trailed kisses up his neck, enjoying the sound of him moaning as I bit his neck. I pulled on his hair a little, holding up a couple fingers for him. He opened his mouth a tiny bit, still keeping up the innocent face and I pulled on his hair again. He sucked on my fingers, moaning slightly when I stretched him once they were lubed up enough.
I got my own boxers off as he put his arms around my neck, wrapping his legs around my waist when I picked him up by hips. He stopped being all hesitant when I pushed in, fucking him as hard and rough as I fucking wanted to. We went from the wall to the kitchen counter to the couch to the floor to the bed, all of it filled with Maxxie's moans. I chuckled as he came, moaning as he gave me possibly the best orgasm ever. He leant his head on my shoulder with a moan and I rested my head on top of his breathlessly.
"I bet Bunny couldn't do that, huh?"
Maxxie shook his head breathlessly and I chuckled, snuggling back when he snuggled up to me. I hummed, tilting my neck as he planted kisses against my skin. I played with his hair and he leant his head on my chest, not seeming to care that my chest was covered with sweat.
"You okay?" I asked when he was kinda quiet.
"Yeah, if you ignore that I've just cheated on him again" he sighed slightly.
"Think of it as helping out a friend in need"
He chuckled slightly. "A friend I can help out all day?"
"If you want" I smirked.
"Well my dick is more than happy to help out, even if I do feel bad"
"It's not your dick I'm interested in, gorgeous"
"My ass is ready and willing, too" he giggled and I hummed.
I hummed as he nibbled at my collarbone, playing with his hair again.
"I miss teasing you"
"Is it not the same teasing anyone else?"
"John doesn't get the same kick out of it that you do"
"He never did seem the submissive type*
"Yeah, we've had a few power struggles in the bedroom" I said with a slight laugh.
"You've bottomed before, if I remember correctly," he smirked slightly, "And enjoyed it quite a lot"
"You of all people should know I prefer topping, though"
"I do know, but there's no stopping you compromising. Did you let John top at all while you were together?"
"A few times"
He looked kinda thoughtful. "Sometimes the sex life is the problem" he shrugged. "You two are good for each other, you just need to figure out what went wrong"
"He's fucking crazy, that's what went wrong"
Maxxie drew shapes on my chest soothingly and I sighed.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up" he said, giving me a small kiss.
"It's okay, gorgeous. Besides, you and him should take pride in being two of three people that I've let fuck me"
"I do" he smiled, playing with my hair.
I smiled back and he kissed me, his hand trailing south.
"You want me to help out my friend in need again?" he asked, his hand in my crotch.
"If you wouldn't mind" I smirked.
"I wouldn't" he grinned slightly.

The recent collapse of Crown Currency, the broker that fell into administration and left thousands of customers out of pocket, might put you off. However, Crown operated differently to its surviving competitors: it offered rates that got more attractive the longer you were prepared to wait and this is why it ran out of money.
By contrast, most travel-cash providers carry out transactions at the time of purchase, so are far less likely to run out of money. Still, people chose Crown because of its top rates: so how can you avoid being caught up in a similar problem?
They key thing is to make sure the broker is authorised by the regulator - the Financial Services Authority - which means client funds will be kept separately and protected if it collapsed (Crown was not). Currencies Direct, Caxton FX, World First and HiFX are among those authorised by the FSA.
It's still worth comparing rates to find the best rate - and note that some brokers will charge commission fees on top. Louise Holmes, spokesman for comparison site Moneyfacts, advises: "The main things to be aware of when making online transactions or exchanges is to check the source is legitimate. Some websites look perfectly fine, but are operated by fraudsters: if something looks too good to be true, the chances are it probably is."

text: I'll try and circle back around to file bug reports on this later. In the meantime, F11 Beta on my ThinkPad T400 will not only not install, I can't get past what appears to be the first splash screen. This ThinkPad comes with both Intel and ATI (Radeon HD3400) graphics. I have tried both the Radeon Test Day and the standard X86_64 ISOs booting them from a USB drive I created using the Live USB tool on F10. It makes no difference if I use the Radeon chip (aka Discreete Graphics) or the Intel chip (aka Integrated Graphics). In each case, F11 Beta boots to a blank, white screen with no visible text. I'm trying to figure out how to interrupt the boot sequence and pass a kernel parameter to stop mode setting (nomodeset ???), but have been unsuccessful so far because, since the screen is always blank, I have no way of knowing what I'm looking at. F10 runs just fine on this system. Ideas on how to get past this appreciated.

China Says It Sees Something in the Water
A Chinese plane on Monday spotted two white, square-shaped objects in an area identified by satellite imagery as containing possible debris from the missing Malaysian airliner, while the United States separately prepared to send a specialized device that can locate black boxes.
The crew aboard an IL-76 plane sighted the object in the southern Indian Ocean and reported the coordinates to the Australian command center, which is coordinating the multinational search, as well as the Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon, which is en route to the area, China's Xinhua News Agency reported.
The spotters saw two larger floating objects and some smaller, white debris scattered over several square kilometers (miles), the report said. It gave no other details.
Satellite images released by Australia and China had earlier identified possible debris in the area that may be linked to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on March 8 with 239 people aboard.
The U.S. Pacific command said it was sending a black box locator in case a debris field is located. The Towed Pinger Locator, which is pulled behind a vessel at slow speeds, has highly sensitive listening capability so that if the wreck site is located, it can hear the black box pinger down to a depth of about 20,000 feet (6,100 meters), Cmdr. Chris Budde, a U.S. Seventh Fleet operations officer, said in a statement.

Spotlighting Audio and Video Content
This is the first in a series of posts for audio and/or video content in the genealogy and family history world.
The amount of knowledge and entertainment that can be accessed from online audio and video content is staggering. Search for virtually any topic and you are likely to find a Podcast or YouTube video on the subject. Webinars are a great teaching medium and many genealogy societies provide this service for free to members or for a limited time to non-members.
I spotlight podcasts I have listened to and found to be above the norm
To help you break through the noise, I will spotlight podcasts I have listened to that I found to be above the norm, YouTube videos that teach as well as webinars and hangouts I've watched. The episodes I highlight could fall into any or all of these categories.
- Genealogy & Family History: for every genealogy enthusiast
- Small Business Tips: for genealogy entrepreneurs and societies
- Marketing & Social Media: for genealogy bloggers, societies and small businesses
You can listen via your desktop or through various apps available for your smart device
If you are new to podcasts, give them a try. I personally use the Podcast Addict app on my Android phone. YouTube videos, including recorded Hangouts, as well as webinars are generally viewed through your desktop or via a mobile app.
To assist with deciding which podcast to listen to or which Hangout to watch, many publishers will provide show notes or time stamp the video for you. Often the show notes will include the links to sites that are discussed during the show. You can think of the show notes as a blog post which you may prefer to read if listening isn't your cup of coffee.
Print off the show notes or save them in Evernote for later reference
A time stamp, such as on a Hangout, will allow you to start watching at a specific point in the video. This is helpful if you want to re watch a portion of the video that you found particularly interesting. I understand that the process of time stamping a video is time consuming and why many publishers do not do this.
Webinars generally provide an overall description of the content to be presented and may or may not come with a handout. The goodness in a handout is usually the URLs of the sources the presenter refers to during the webinar are provided.
In The Spotlight Audio Content:
This is a two-part spotlight from a 2010 episode of Genealogy Gems with Lisa Louise Cook interviewing Dr. Robert Leonard a forensic linguist.
Part 1: Episode 89
Part 2: Episode 90
In The Spotlight Video Content:
Research At The National ArchivesTake note that the content I am spotlighting is not necessarily the most current episode. These are episodes I feel are worth listening to, some from several years ago. I point that out as any breaking news, functionality and technology mentioned may have changed since the episode aired.

Clark: Bloomsday shows how Spokane is fat-man friendly, too
Tue., May 7, 2013, midnight
I was watching Bloomsday 37 unfold on TV Sunday morning while lolling on my couch eating buttered bagels with cream cheese.
All of a sudden this warm and tasty feeling about my hometown welled up inside me.
"You know," I said to myself between chews, "Spokane's a great place to be fat."
I say this as a longtime member of the Spobese.
But I find it positively inspiring to live in such an outdoorsy and athletic-minded community that is mostly non-judgmental of its plus-sized and sedentary counterparts.
True, this tolerance from the skinny contingent may have more to do with a survival instinct rather than any sense of charity.
Look, I read the paper on Monday.
I know that "More than 47,000" people participated in the "Bloomsday experience."
Bully for all of you.
And may your chafed nipples heal like the wind.
I've logged a lot of research on this topic. And by research I mean looking in the mirror after my showers and checking out shoppers during trips to Costco.
This research leads me to believe that we flabbies outnumber you anorexic Bloomies by ton-to-one.
In nature this would be like a large herd of lean, light-footed gazelles living among a billion or so hefty hippos.
How foolish it would be for said gazelles to make the hippos feel bad by calling them names like "lardzilla," say, or "hippo-bottomus"?
Gazelles have quick and nimble on their side. But the numerically superior hippos would eventually waddle them all into a corner and CRUSH THEM LIKE ANTS!!
Sorry. There's no sense bringing violence into this.
I just get annoyed all the time hearing about what I should and shouldn't eat, which has little to do with what I want to eat.
Currently, the federal government has decided that human beings should plan all of their meals based on a healthy food pyramid that consists of lentils and roughage on the bottom with a tofu burger at the top.
Not this guy. I still believe in those old-fashioned Essential Food Groups, which are …
1. Dairy Queen.
2. Nougat.
3. Bacon.
4. Cheetos (the crunchy kind).
There are a few tradeoffs for eating this way, of course, like not being able to see my shoes.
But that's why God made those long shoehorns with the springy end.
I'm thanking my Lucky Charms that the Lilac City has shown no signs of turning into one of those nutritional nanny places like New York City.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, for example, made a lot of news by trying to put legal limits on what New Yorkers could pour down their cake holes.
His plan was to ban giant sugary sodas. It failed, however, thanks to the New York State Supreme Court, which overturned Bloomberg's draconian rule.
But anyone who thinks this meddler might've learned anything from this is crazy.
If there's one thing a sawed-off busybody like Bloomberg can't stomach, it's letting people mind their own business.
The Bloombergs of the world always know better.
Here in Spokane (knock-knock) I've seen no signs of Bloombergism.
Oh, I am a little worried about Spokane Mayor David Condon's move to fill City Hall with armed guards.
But so far this seems like the typical paranoia that Spokane mayors are famous for. I could be wrong, but I don't think Condon's the type who would try to interfere with my constitutional right to scarf all the Milk Duds I want.
But what if I'm wrong?
What if Condon – deluded perhaps by fantasies of a second term – decided to go Bloomberg on us?
I can see it now …
• The brothers Domini are ordered to scale back their delicious meatwiches from football-sized to hockey pucks.
• Spokane's fast-food workers are banned from asking customers, "Would you like that Biggie-Sized?"
• The Dick's Whammy is reborn as the Wimpy.
• Cyrus O'Leary's pies are now made low-fat and sugar-free.
• The Longhorn barbecue goes vegan.
Message to Condon: Leave us hippos be!
Glad I got that off of my chest.
You know, all this talk about eating right has really worked up the ol' appetite. So in honor of Bloomsday, I think I'll sprint to the fridge and engage in some serious carbo-loading.

Do you have skills and knowledge gained through career experience, prior training or study and even voluntary work, but you don't have the piece of paper to prove it? Then Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) could put you on the fast track to obtaining a Nationally Recognised Australian Qualification without having to complete additional classroom study.
RPL explained
RPL is a simple no stress process of assessing how your skills and experience match Units of Competency within the Australian Training Packages for various industries. Evidence is submitted in the form of scanned documents that are sent via our secure encrypted file transfer system and the whole process is conducted using online services and phone calls. Even if your industry experience was gained working overseas, this is still relevant to an Australian RPL application.
Benefits of RPL
Get Qualified Australia aim to assist applicants to develop their current 'employability skills'. This is one of the key elements of the RPL process and a focus of Get Qualified Australia is ensuring that individual industry expertise is formalised. RPL speeds up the process of achieving qualifications. You don't have to do further study to prove your experience and the qualifications are issued quickly once the RPL process is completed.
By listing a Nationally Recognised Qualification on your resume / CV, it will show that you have professional credentials to match your career and work history. This will increase your chance of promotions and increases the standard of your skills when you are applying for new jobs or seeking internal promotions.
Evidence required
An extensive range of evidence can be used to verify and assess competency of applicants. This includes contracts of employment and job descriptions, details of training and inductions, performance reviews and appraisals, references from current and past employers, work samples and examples of work you complete 'on the job'.
Work examples can be presented as documents such as checklists, schedules, reports, emails and correspondence or notes. But you can also use photos, videos and recordings to show yourself working on the job. This is particularly useful for applicants using RPL for to complete qualifications for 'hands on' jobs such as hospitality and trades.
Qualifications available
Get Qualified Australia offers RPL options for over 400 qualifications across an extensive range of professional industries including: commercial cookery and bakery, tourism and hospitality, business and management, finance, marketing, human resources, education and training, project management, child care and age, transport and logistics, trades and many more.
Tertiary Qualifications ranging from Certificate II to Advanced Diploma level can be issued using the RPL assessment process. Once all your evidence has been sent to GQ Australia and is checked to make sure you are competent, the Qualification Certificate will be issued within 2 to 4 weeks of completion.
If you currently hold an Advanced Diploma and have extensive Department Manager or Executive level industry experience, you can also use established 'pathways' to complete Higher Education Qualifications at university level using the RPL process. You can firstly obtain a Vocational Graduate Certificate or Diploma using RPL, and then you can apply for Credit Transfer and exemptions towards Australian MBA programs.
Get Qualified Australia also have partnerships with University Enrolment Consultants that can assist you with finding the right pathway to achieving Higher Education Qualifications.
The RPL process
Professional Industry Skills Assessors from Get Qualified Australia can complete a FREE evaluation of your resume / CV and suggest suitable qualifications matching your skills and experience. All you need to do is contact the GQ head office first and chat to one of the friendly helpful staff so they can give you more information on the RPL process.
You can be assured that the service you will receive is the highest standard. Get Qualified Australia assessors all hold Australian Training Qualifications and have worked at executive management level in their industries and fields of expertise. They have also worked as trainers and assessors in industry and also at colleges in the lecturing environment. Because of this experience, they can provide valuable recommendations, advice and guidance to help you achieve a qualification.
When you complete RPL with Get Qualified Australia, you will be provided with detailed information on how to prepare and submit evidence to support the RPL application. Your assessor will give you support and guidance throughout the RPL process and assessors are available to talk with you at any time to answer any questions that you might have.
Use your current qualifications
If you already have qualifications attained from previous study, you can use this as evidence to support your application. If your qualifications were issued by an Australian RTO, the Academic Transcript which provides a full listing of all the Units of Competency that were successfully completed can be reviewed by RPL Assessors. If any of the units are the same is those included in the qualification that you are seeking you will be given Credit Transfers and will not need to complete these unit. This ensures that you only have to provide evidence for a reduced number of units to complete the qualification successfully.
International qualifications and experience
If you have International Qualifications they can be used for RPL, but this credit transfer process cannot be completed unless you have had the qualifications verified by Australian Education International. This is an Australian Government organization that can assess overseas qualifications in higher education, post-secondary technical and vocational studies and match them to the Australian equivalent.
Any industry experience that you have gained outside of Australia is still relevant for an RPL Application. However, references need to be written on company letterhead, in English or translated, plus verified by a Justice of the Peace. Referee contact details are also essential for conducting reference checks to verify your skills and experience. They will need to be fluent in English so that they can be contacted via email or phone.
Getting started with RPL
For all enquiries please contact Get Qualified Australia on 1300 88 43 66 and talk with one of our Industry Skills Assessors. They will ask you to send a copy of your current resume / CV for review and can provide detailed information on RPL. A list of qualifications that can be completed using RPL is available on the Get Qualified Australia website at www.gqaustralia.com.au This list is updated on a regular basis and we are currently in the process of developing our new website which will be launched in early 2013.

- Practical advice to help you regularly save money and invest
- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
Earning 1% before tax on your easy-access savings is becoming increasingly difficult as providers cut their rates.
Once banks and building socieities find themselves at the top of the best buy tables they tend to drop their rates to stem the flow of money in.
Those paying the top 1% are now limited to just Shawbrook Bank Easy Access 5, Coventry Building Society Easy Access 3, Kent Reliance Easy Access 16, Paragon Bank Easy Access Issue 2, and Sainsbury's Bank's eSaver Special.
National Savings & Investments easy-access Income Bonds also pay 1% with interest added each month. But these variable rates could well be cut.
On fixed-rate deals the best one-year rate comes from internet-based Charter Savings Bank at 1.38%. The bank pays a higher 1.4% if you are willing to tie your money up for 18 months.
On easy-access tax-free cash Isas, top rates include 1.1% from Coventry Building Society but you can't transfer your existing Isa savings into this account. Family Building Society's Market Tracker Isa pays 1.09% and accepts transfers.
The best one-year fixed rate cash Isa from Shawbrook, Aldermore, and Kent Reliance banks at 1.1%. For two years Shawbrook and Julian Hodge banks pay 1.2%.
Ikano Bank Fixed 1 Year Saver pays a higher 1.3% but you are covered by the Swedish compensation scheme, which pays out up to €100,000 (around £86,000) in the event the bank fails. You're not covered by our home Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which gives up to £75,000 per financial institution in protection.
Invidivual Savings Accounts were introduced on 6 April 1999 to replace personal equity plans (PEPs) and tax-exempt special savings accounts (TESSAs) with one plan that covered both stockmarket and savings products, the returns from which are tax-exempt. The ISA is not in itself an investment product. Rather, it's a tax-free "wrapper" in which you place investments and savings up to a specified annual allowance where the returns (capital growth, dividends, interest) are tax-exempt (you don't have to declare ISAs and their contents on your tax return). However, any dividends are taxed within the investment, and that can't be reclaimed.
This is a mutual organisation owned by its members and not by shareholders. These societies offer a range of financial services but have historically concentrated on taking deposits from savers and lending the money to borrowers as mortgages, hence the name. In the mid-1990s many societies "demutualised" and became banks. One academic study (Heffernan, 2003) found demutualised societies' pricing on deposits and mortgages was more favourable to shareholders than to customers, with the remaining mutual building societies offering consistently better rates. In 1900, there were 2,286 building societies in the UK; in 2011, there are just 51.
Sainsbury's Bank's eSaver Special does pay 1% but only if you have £30,000 as it's a tiered interest rate account.
Starting at £1.00 - £999.00 you get the common miserly 0.5%
Coventry Building Society Easy Access 3 does pay 1% on any amount and as the rates have already been recently cut to reflect the drop in base rate then the 1% rate should be ok for a bit.
I've just sent an application form for this one as it looks like the best deal for instant access.

Divas Do Real Estate Chicago
A Real Estate Investing & Strategy Retreat for Ladies
Pampering Included – August 12-17, 2017
Image courtesy of Kathy Womack Galleries
Serious Pampering:
- Indulge in Chicago's Culinary Delights
- Spa and Beauty Time
- Professional Photo Shoot
- More Insight than "Good Ol' Boys" Ever Knew
Have you experienced this?
The disapproving looks, the silent eye roll, the man looking past you to connect with the man standing behind you? The feeling you aren't valued?
Fighting to get into that conversation about real estate investing, only to be interrupted, dismissed, or have their backs turned?
Are you ready to be Valued?
It's not about fighting what exists. It's about finding the right solutions and the right people that WANT to be on your team.
It's about transforming YOU so you are respected and valued, all while being authentic and showing the best of who you are. It's about YOU exploring varying real estate opportunities and finding which areas are right for you.
Are you ready to feel Confident?
Confidence stems from how we feel about ourselves. It's a critical part of how we are perceived as women in business. It's not just our beauty, but how we portray ourselves with grace.
You, Unabashedly, Your Style, with Confidence
Imagine working in a world where kindness and respect are commonplace. Imagine being comfortable asking questions in a supportive environment.
Imagine having the POWER to make your own decisions, with CONFIDENCE
The Making of a DIVA
What's in it for YOU?
Well, for starters, just imagine spending four days in the vibrant city of Chicago, where the restaurants are phenomenal, the pampering exceptional, and the real estate business full of opportunities, even without the
"good ol' boys".
This trip will transform your thinking about the real estate business, from a women's point of view.
During this retreat we will swoop you away from your home environment where you can think clearly without distractions, for once! And so you can reach deep in your heart for understanding your investing style and your business preferences all while you're blissfully free from the influences of others.
Here, you can expect three info-and-action-packed days of learning about investing from a woman's perspective, visiting renovation projects, plus a little pampering and culinary exploration along the way.
You'll not only soak up all the information and relaxation you need to renovate yourself and your investment vision, but you'll also leave with a customized action plan on how to cash in on all you've learned.
And the Pampering!
The one thing we ladies don't do enough of is taking care of ourselves. I've carved out some time for some glamour at a well known spa right on the Magnificent Mile to do what we never do, a photo session; complete with professional makeup application and hair style, with optional spa activities.
The Accommodations
Three Bedrooms, One and a half baths
While you're in Chicago, you'll be my special guest in my own private condo I bought and renovated for the purpose for short-term rentals. The renovation was a complete transformation in this centrally located venue. The stunning living area is huge so everyone will be comfortable as you like during our lounging and learning times.
This 1200 square foot condo consists of 3 bedrooms, one full bath and one half bath in the hustle and bustle of the vibrant city of Chicago. Two bedrooms comes with queen sized beds, and the third bedroom comes with a futon. Each bedroom also has a queen sized air mattress should you need more room to spread out.
The pricing is based on double occupancy for the 2 queen bedrooms and I will be in the single bedroom. Be patient as we will have to share the full bath for our showers, but the half bath is beautifully outfitted for further primping and makeup applications. There are other accommodations nearby (but not in a walking distance) that I can recommend from fellow AirBNB hosts should you prefer a single occupancy option.
The Venue – Chicago
About Chicago
Chicago is known not only for their food, but for their architectural marvels, cutting-edge designs and gorgeous views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago river. Theater options abound from Broadway knock-offs to comedy shows, to it's famous Second City. The cultural aspect include museums like the Field Museum and the Alder Planetarium, and last but not least, the legendary blues scene. The historic Drake Hotel is only one that embraces the history and unique ambience Chicago has to offer.
I've invested in Chicago since 2012. Some investments with good results, some were a breeze. I will share all of my experiences with you so it can be applied anywhere you chose to pursue your investments.
Cuisine – Italian, Barbecue and Continental
Elegant Culinary Offerings
Chicago is famous for its food, not only as a gourmet dining epicenter, but as the home of several local specialities. Between their well-known ethnic influences, pizza and specially styled hot-dogs, there is no reason to ever eat a microwave dinner.
We will experience Barbeque catered from one of the best BBQ Restaurants in the city on the first night. The second will be at my favorite Italian and the third night hasn't been decided yet, but it's a guarantee that your tastebuds will delight in the experiences. You will be on your own for a lunch, so choose wisely.
Activities – Eat, Learn, Spa, Photo Shoot
What to Expect
You will leave with a new sense of yourself. Between the badly needed "me-time" I've carved out for you, the culinary delights, the learnings and the entertainment, there will be some real heart felt discussions about real estate investing. This isn't your typical "get rich quick" trip, or one of these seminars where you talk about "crushing it" in Real Estate. But a softer side of understanding the facts, the obstacles and the challenges to supplement your wealth.
You are welcomed with other like-minded ladies that have some experience in real estate investing. We take that nurturing nature of ours and harness it to help each other understand how to deal with some of those difficult issues, or just encourage each other to take that step they never believed they could embrace.
Our Schedule - Arrival Monday
Catered Dinner at Jean's Condo
A full day of traveling will turn into a pleasant relaxing experience in Jean's renovated condo where you can relax until dinner is ready. Please consider this your home away from home. If early, take a bath, take a nap, watch some TV, or read a book until we welcome everyone to a delicious catered dinner.
The catered dinner is from the famous Honey1 Barbeque located on the street level of the building. People come from miles around to this little local favorite well known for decades for their mouth watering barbecue.
Wine and water is served for your enjoyment as we mingle and learn from each other's experiences in real estate investing, define our dreams and goals, identify what slows us down and get to know each other and how to proceed with the rest of the trip.
The Accommodations
Tastefully decorated for the AirBNB experience, there are 2 bedrooms with queen sized beds intended for double occupancy. Should you want a single bed, each bedroom comes with a queen sized air mattress so you can stretch out in your own bed.
Researching Properties
After a brief continental breakfast, we will load up and meet with one of my favorite investor friendly real estate agents and explore some existing developments, speak to other developers and discuss their design philosophies and reasonings behind their investment decisions. You will learn from those in the depth of their projects.
Most of what we see will be in the City of Chicago, although there are some that may skirt outside the edges in the suburbs. We will see some condos, some single family homes, and maybe talk a little bit about commercial opportunities. Some may be on the market, some may be in process of renovation and some maybe renovated and ready to sell or rent.
Being in a small group, we have the benefits of diverting to the areas we want to learn about the most. Short term rentals? Sure. Renovate to resell? Absolutely. Want to learn about condos and associations, If you like.
Our ability to change direction based on your curiosities are only one of the reasons that makes this trip so special.
I provide the transportation, a boxed lunch with water, along with scheduled pit stops along the way on the trip.
About that Culinary Exploration…
After an exhausting day viewing properties, we will retire to my favorite Italian Restaurant in Chicago, Tarantinos. We will enjoy your favorite Italian meal and discuss the happenings of the day, what we learned and exchange ideas on what we would do with the properties we discovered.
It's a great time to relax and enjoy the end of the day with like minded ladies.
Tarantino's is a local neighborhood Italian restaurant that stole my heart on my first visit. I go to that restaurant any chance I get while in Chicago.
I provide the meal, but this time the drinks are available as an option.
The Spa Day/Photo Shoot
The one thing we ladies don't do enough of is taking care of ourselves. I've carved out some time for some glamour at a well known spa right on the Magnificent Mile to do what we never do for ourselves; a professional photo session; complete with professional makeup application and hair style.
While you're waiting between appointments, feel free to explore the local spa amenities and schedule a massage, a facial or more. Or grab a friend and head out to one of the best restaurants Chicago has to offer. It's time to explore the shops and museums by yourself or with another guest as you leisurely enjoy Chicago while waiting for your glamour appointment.
The Magical Mile in Chicago is the best place for shopping while we indulge for a day of shopping, spa, and experience with a professional makeup artist, hair stylist and your professional photograph. You will need this for your social media presence, a critical component we discuss on this trip.
Let's Make Use of that Beauty…
We will not let that gussied up look go to waste. Dinner and schmoozing with some of the successful and learned real estate investors in the Chicago area for networking, discussions, learnings, and if you like, flirting.
We will be at a local restaurant near the Magnificent Mile where I've invited many of the most notable and successful investors in Chicago to network.
A buffet of appetizers, a couple of drinks, new connections, and a newfound confidence.
Thursday, our Final Day
Recoup, Recover, Re-energize
A morning of light fare is available as we prepare for our trips back home. We will cover our expectations going into this and what we learned about ourselves, and how we can move forward with our newfound knowledge. This is when we develop an action plan for your real estate business and how you to best forward in your success.
We say our goodbye's, wish others well and return to our homes with a different mindset that will open your eyes to your total transformation.

Kari: Adrenaline rush much?!Mature
I awoke to the feeling of hot water rushing down me, a feeling that I had never experienced right after waking. Because of this fact, and the fact that I remembered have a sizable cut on my forehead from falling, I jerked up.
"Stay down dear," a voice said from above me. "We're cleaning you up," It soothed. Blackness fading back.
I was semi-conscious, or from what I was told of the experience, I believe that I was sort of aware. I remember feeling pain running through my face and leg as the hair was plucked, and I remembered the tugging feeling a my scalp as it was pulled into submission. However I was also totally unaware of being stripped, totally unaware of being patted down with lotions and perfumes. I woke up right when the first bit of make-up hit my face.
I groaned awake.
"Well hello there sleep head, you've been out for 19 hours!" a female voice exclaimed.
"Where am I?" I asked groggily, looking about me and seeing four women standing around me, each holding their own beautification tool.
"You're being prepared dear," one of the women said, curling one of the more front parts of my hair. "Sir always has us prep the contestants. I must say, you're turning out to be lovely! You hair and eyes go perfectly together!" One of the other women crooned, she was currently pulling on some clothes on my naked body.
"Why are my clothes gone?" I asked stupidly, they were the least of my worries.
"We couldn't have you competing in them dear! To think, sending in a girl in that leotard, I don't think we'd live to see another day!" The last women exclaimed, brandishing a tube of currently unused (though that was about to change) lip gloss.
"What am I competing in?" I questioned, I was curious, and I also needing to buy time to figure how to get out of this mess.
"We can't tell you that deary, but it's an adrenaline rush, I'll tell ya that!" the first one chuckled. "And from what I've heard, you like adrenaline, Kari." A the sound of my name, my heart skipped a beat. They knew me. Come to think of it, they had everything perfect for me. The underclothes the second women had been placing on me fit like a glove, and the lip gloss was one of the only brands that didn't make my skin break out in rash.
I quickly sat up, punished by a blood rush, yet rewarded with a full view of the room. All over the walls were pictures of me, they were candid photos that were photo shopped- I was 'wearing' everything from bikinis to full length ball gowns. I blinked, unable to take all in the information in. I had never worn, or even tried on a bikini, and I'd never been to a ball. What was going on?!!?
"Sit back down dear," the third lady told me, pushing down on my shoulder. I laid back down, still dazed.
They finished out my hair, put it up beautifully in a pile on top of my head. They donned on jewelry, explaining how many different ways I could kill with it. They applied make-up carefully to my face, highlighting my beauty rather than slobbing it all over the place.
Finally, they moved on to dressing me. First, they put a slip over my head, lifting up my arms for me because I refused to do so. Next, they tied a corset around my waist. I had stood up at this point because it would only hurt me it I remained laying down. They pulled the strings tight, until I could hardly breathe much less actually walk. My waist, I could see, was now 'perfect' accentuating my form and making me appear to have some super model body. Yuck.
Eventually, they brought out a light blue dress, and told me to stick my arms up. Complying, I lifted them, and they let the satin slide into place, careful not to disturb my hair of make up. I must admit,t he dress felt good on the parts of the skin it touched (I was layered by two slips, one under and the other over my corset, so my entire middle couldn't feel the soft fabric.)The women oohed and aahed appropriately, touching the dress to fix the way it hung, and trying to fix the already-uncomfortable corset. Next, they gave my high heels, comfortable enough, but not made for running. I was complete.
"I believe she's ready." The eldest said, and the others echoed their yeses. Well duh I was!
"Honey, will you please take her?" she asked of one of the younger women.
"Of course madam," She quickly agreed,and tugged my hand to the door.
We wound our way through multiple passages, all of which I tried to remember, but there were too many.
"Here you are, enter and survive." she said curtly, placing me at a wooden door, and then hurrying off. I thought about turning and leaving, but figured I had the highest chance of survival by following their game rules.
Cautiously, I turned the handle and walked into the dark room.
"Welcome to the Labyrinth young one." an automated voice boomed. "The rules are simple, try to win. Bring me a dead body, and you win this round. Be weary of my tricks, I have made the playing field hard."
Once he finished speaking, door slid open on the opposite end of the room. I crossed and enter though them, my heart rate quickening and my body shaking. I was being asked to kill.

Still recovering from the loss of his lover, the hyperactive British-American M16 counterterrorism op must now works overtime to identify the would-be killers and stop them in their tracks. An action-packed thriller now in a mass market paperback and NOOK Book.

"Hawke is…strong, shrewd and savvy, with an aplomb not seen since James Bond tore up the pages of Ian Fleming's novels….Warlord stands tall....A first rate thriller."
—National Public Radio
Thriller fiction of the highest order, Warlord by Ted Bell returns British-American MI6 counterterrorism operative Alex Hawke to the field, as he races to stop a plot to murder Great Britian's royal family. This latest spellbinding installment in the New York Times bestselling series is filled with twists and turns, shocks and surprises, ever-escalating peril and ingenious spycraft. Warlord "puts a capital A in adventure" (Madison County Herald) and offers further proof why Ted Bell deserves his position on the A-list along with Clive Cussler, Robert Ludlum, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva.
Editorial Reviews
From Bell (Nick of Time, 2008, etc.),a James Bondish adventure brought up to date with Middle Eastern terrorists, Russian baddies and assorted other denizens of evil empires around the world.
Alex Hawke is a modern type, but not so modern that he's given up smoking—or, even if he does read Susan Sontag, that he'sbecome new-agesensitive. He's a reader and a thinker, a veteran of British intelligence and a counterterrorism expert of renown. He also bears the burdens of grief. As Bell tells us in a slightly hamfisted bit of exposition, Alex's parents had been killed "at the hands of drug pirates when the boy was but seven" (which, doing the numbers, would put those drug pirates well ahead of the curve). To top that off, Alex's true love has fallen victim to the endless struggle between good and evil—or, as he puts it: "My heart's in the grave." By rights he should be a basket case, but then comes a call from old pal Prince Charles (yes, that Prince Charles), who informs him that the bloke or blokes who did in his uncle Dickie Mountbatten are back, threatening to repeat their dastardly acts on Charles and his progeny. The plot thickens, involving a small army of walk-on characters, some from real life (think Princess Di and Dodi Fayed) and some from an ample supply of stock characters (for one, an all-wise, ever-patient manservant). Though many genre conventions are well in place, Bell has fun with his tale, allowing Hawke enough opportunities for mayhem and carnage as to embarrass the murderous James Bond of Quantum of Solace—as when, for instance, he dispatches a terrorist, "little more than a boy,"by slicing him apart with an assault knife. That's exactly in character, and exactly what the situation called for.
A meaty, entertaining thriller, sometimes predictable, more often not—just the thing for fans of Ludlum, Trevanian and Fleming.

Prior to his last mission, British spy Alex Hawke met Russian artist Anastasia Korsakova on a Bermuda beach while on R&R. He falls in love with her, but his case inside the New Russia puts him against her father Count Ivan Korsakov. While he completed the mission, his beloved Anastasia dies (see Tsar). Almost a year later, Hawke remains depressed with his only companion a bottle of rum that rarely numbs the pain inside his heart. He wants nothing to do with the espionage game until his royal friend Prince Charles begs him to help as someone threatens to assassinate the Royal family. Normally one to ignore such intimidation, Charles explains that somehow the culprit left a tome with a signature identical to the one belonging to his late uncle, Lord Mountbatten, who was murdered three decades ago. Hawke leaves Bermuda for London to begin his search for the mysterious killer. At the same time the Sword of Allah unites with the Taliban and al-Qaeda to form an evil alliance terrorizing the world. The latest Hawke espionage thriller is an exhilarating tale that combines news headlines with the historical killing of Lord Mountbatten inside a super spy tale. Hawke's battle with suicidal depression feels real as he lost his love while killing her father so has welcomed a Russian death squad since he returned home to Bermuda. Now, only a special case called in by the Prince of Wales can get him back on the job and out of his crippling grief. Once in London, he reverts to Hawke super counter espionage agent. Warlord is a fabulous action-packed entry, but it is the fight within the hero's soul that makes it special. Harriet Klausner
Warlord by Ted Bell This is my second Ted Bell Book. This is in the adult as opposed to young adult genre. This is a thriller right off of the pages of the newspaper (or nytimes.com). The British Royal Family is threatened by terrorists and a shell shocked, combat fatigued Alex Hawke is called in to save the day. This book is a medley of rock and roll action. This is a fun read. Alex Hawke makes James Bond look like a girl scout. His pal Stokely is intimidating even on paper. The characterizations were colorful and entertaining. Action was pretty much non-stop. The mysterious Smith was truly evil personified. I liked the back story use, it gave the characters more depth. The use of contemporary personages made the book more believable. Conspiracy buffs will revel in it's contents and conjectures. Bell painted Alex's despair very well. It was easy to wallow in his grief. Loyalty and honor are too often ignored in modern novels, Bell captured both. I highly recommend the book.
have enjoyed all of the other Ted Bell / Alex Hawke books. eagerly awaited this one. It just doesn't flow as smoothly as the other books in this series. i knew who the "bad guy" was the minute he was introduced. No surprises
When you have read many of Ted Bell's other novels, you will find that Warlord does not carry the same weight that they do. Which isn't to say it is not a good read, just not the read you were anticipating. So much of the story is implausible that the reader has to roll the eyes one time too many, and Bell can write better than that.
Storytelling sometimes takes a back seat in the thriller genre. Not in this new book by Ted Bell. You are literally swept away from the first page onward. And the characters are all deeply developed, even the secondary figures who add humor and wit. It's simply a fine novel, and the fact that the villain is not revealed until the very end keeps you on the edge of your seat. The scenes in Paris with Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed are riveting. Great stuff. Get it, you won't be sorry.
I was thoroughly on the edge of my seat!! I cant wait for Alex to go rescue his family!!
You'll have to suspend more than belief to get through this. Characters (even the 'real' ones) are almost completely unbelievable... more like a 'grown up' version of a Harry Potter adventure... readable but disappointing.
Wasted. That's the only way to describe the way we first find our favorite British spy in Ted Bell's exciting sixth Alex Hawke adventure. After all, what could one expect from even the strongest, most disciplined of men when he's lost everything that had any meaning for him? In Alex's words, "My parents were murdered before my eyes when I was seven years old. I met a wonderful woman, the first I'd ever wanted to marry. She died in my arms on the steps of the chapel where we'd just been wed." Then as he puts it "The truly unbelievable happened - he fell in love again and they were to be married, but she died carrying his child, a son. Alex no longer wants to right wrongs or defend the innocent; he simply wants to die and is choosing to kill himself with alcohol and cigarettes. That is until he received a middle of the night phone call from Prince Charles. The two men have been friends since boyhood, and now Charles asks Alex to return to England because the royal family is in danger, all of them Charles, his mother, Wills, Harry. Threats have been made in notes signed by The Pawn. Charles believes the threat to his family is from the IRA, those responsible for killing of Lord Mountbatten in 1979. Of course, Alex promises to be in England as soon as possible. Once there he'll be joined in tracking the would-be killer or killers by his good friend Ambrose Congreve. Former Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard. Readers of Hawke books know this is an estimable pair. They're more than challenged when the chase also involves trying to find a missing nuke in the wilds of Afghanistan. The challenges before him are the best medicine Hawke could find unless, of course, he dies in the process. As is his wont Bell serves healthy bits of humor with his suspense. Plus he adds great doses of realism with information gathered when he participated in a special ops program sponsored by the Secretary of Defense. WARLORD is compelling adventure led by a one-of-a-kind thriller fiction hero. Alex Hawke leads the pack. - Enjoy. - Gail Cooke
If you have charm, by all means ooze it. The sixth Alex Hawke novel, and one which I couldn't help but approach with a little trepidation. How could this book possibly compare with the previous in the series (Tsar) which I love so much? Not only that, buy how could our poor Alex Hawke possibly recover from such an ordeal? Well of course I needn't have worried overmuch. Between steadfast Pelham, good old Congreve, and Ted Bell himself, Alex didn't really have much of a chance of staying down for long. Although that is not to say that Alex is back to being his old self, how could he be? One of the things I most admire about this series is how the characters wear their scars forever. This isn't just another adventure, but a continuing narrative, and even though Alex finds a way to soldier on, he's a changed man. Although this story can't quite compete emotionally with the previous, it's still a rousing entry and a solid tale spun by a master.
Too far fetched and implausible. Liked his other books, but not this one.
I loved Bell's first five Alex Hawke novels but read some of the reviews of Warlord and it sounded like he had run out of steam on this one. I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! THIS BOOK IS WONDERFUL! On to book 7 for me.
On, yo.
I have always wanted to join Duke and i did. I will show you my 2012 NCAA basketball tournament. "In the Midwest region we have a 1# seed Duke to face a 16# seed Providence." I was shocked we made it in as a 1# seed in the midwest we had suffered a terrible loss against NDS (North Dakota St) we were ranked 9th in the nation. I get prepared for the tournament game i hope to win it all. I will win it all. (How did i do i know some ponies don't know their basketball but if i did well i will continue -Nitro)
An entertaining casual diversion.
Very good read.

Yes, there was a smell of something burning in the House of Lords on 16 October 1834. In fact, it was hard to see across the smoky Chamber. Also, the floor near Black Rod's box was too hot to touch. But not to worry: it was just the men below carefully burning some unwanted wood in the furnaces. The Housekeeper of the Lords, a combination of Security and Health-'*'-Safety, was keeping an eye on this sort of thing, or would have been if she hadn't delegated everything except the salary to her deputy, who on the day was away, leaving everything to her own mother-in-law, who was moonlighting as a tourist guide while the underfloor temperature soared.
The senior of the two men defying orders, by cramming the sticks into the stoves, was not the kind of employee to be entrusted with the fate of the Palace of Westminster. He had just emerged from a lengthy sentence at the nearby prison. As Caroline Shenton, Clerk of the Records in the parliamentary archives, shows in her excellent book, even the wood shoved into the furnaces was the product of the stranglehold of inefficient tradition. In chapters headed with each successive hour of the fire's inexorable progress, she charts the frenetic and misguided efforts of staff and firemen to douse the inferno and snatch papers and property from the flames. Slipped into this saga are background snippets to explain how the Mother of Parliaments got itself into this granddaddy of a mess in the first place.
Take those sticks which accidentally became kindling. A "tally" was a small, notched piece of wood which in medieval times served as a receipt for government income. As Dickens pointed out, pen and paper had been around for a while; yet the antique system dragged on at Westminster until 1826. The last tallies were not disposed of until that fateful day in 1834.
Among the most hidebound of the jobsworths was the Dean of Westminster, who refused to move the Domesday Book to safety in the nave of the Abbey. He had not received the Prime Minister's permission. The king appeared to treat the inferno as some kind of light show. Fortunately there were many who pitched in, ranging from two of the William IV's illegitimate sons to the firemen who pumped – by hand – the water via their rudimentary apparatus.
As the flames darted around like wild creatures and roofs crashed down, there were many injuries but no deaths. Cometh the hour, cometh the men like Rowland Hill, a general who had his horse shot from under him at Waterloo and who now organised a firewall to save the 11th-century Westminster Hall. This book ignites our interest in the forgotten fire of 1834. And what of the Westminster conflagrations of 1263, 1298,1315, 1512 and 1549? We've forgotten those too.

In sports there are certain athletes who have the ability to standout without breaking a sweat. We have witnessed it with Yusiel Puig in the MLB; Calvin Johnson Megatron in the NFL; and Johnny Football Manziel in college football. Last night in their national debut Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Julius Randle joined this elite company.
Although we have witnessed phenoms before, we have never be fortunate to see three of them on the same night on the same court. Their teams clearly have room to grow, but what is really scary is that with these stars the best is still yet to come.
Despite being a freshman Julius Bulldog Randle is clearly the leader of the Kentucky Wildcats squad. The Michigan State Spartans may have beat the Wildcats last night, if they meet again in March the outcome will likely be completely different. The Wildcats teased everyone with their talent while also reminding us of their youth. However, as is the case with all John Calipari coached teams, their team will only go as far as the point guard takes them. Will Aaron Harrison conquer his turnover demons and run what Calipari calls? Time will tell.
Jabari Parker aka Lil Melo endless scoring arsenal will be relied upon heavily for the Duke Blue Devils. Although Coach K has a collection of former McDonald All Americans the NCAA tournament fate will be determined largely by Parker, whose team cannot afford for him to foul out. Sophomore guard Rasheed Sulaimon was able to carry the Devils for stretches but Parker is the only one who can get his on shot.
Andrew Wiggins silenced doubters in his debut showcasing his jaw dropping athleticism and versatility. Despite appearing bored at times, but when the game comes so easy to do you blame him. Although Wiggins has garnered most of the attention and hype, Wayne Shelden is a best in his own right that is destined to sit in the green room with Wiggins and shake the hand of the NBA Commissioner.
Last night was truly exceptional, its not often that a 33 point scoring night by Lebron James gets buried in the back pages but the national debut of Parker, Wiggins, and Randle was certainly an exception. One game down, the nation is watching to see what they will do for an encore? Let the tanking begin! Stay tuned… I know I will.

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 episodes 1 and 2 in review
Something I didn't get around to:
With the Olympic vote being a big issue last week, I didnt get around to writing a review about the first episode of this season of TUF. With the second episode already aired, I decided to go over both episodes in one article. With that here we go:
TUF Episode 1 ~ History in the making
The first episode certainly opened with some drama, as Meisha Tate walked into the UFC Training Center to meet Ronda Rousey, and with a recent dispute having taken place between Dana White and Ronda, she believed she was being removed from the show. After the confusion was cleared up, the preliminary fighters walked in and got the normal speech from Dana about what they should be doing in the house.
We saw some moving stories coming from the various fighters, right before we saw their hopes and dreams either further progressed or smashed in the Octagon. This included favorites Tonya Evinger, Tara LaRosa, and Colleen Schneider being eliminated and not making it into the TUF house.
Notable people who made it into the house were MMA vets Shayna Baszler, Roxanne Modafferi and former boxer turned MMA fighter Jessica Rakoczy. After the fighters won their matches, Rousey and Tate spent time to confer with their coaching staffs to talk about who to pick for which team.
The girls were picked first but before that Dana flipped the coin leading to Ronda choosing her first match rather then the first pick. With that, Tate chose training partner Julianna Pena while Rousey chose Baszler AKA The Queen of Spades. The picks proceeded and Modafferi was surprisingly the last pick for Team Tate and Rakoczy was the last overall pick. Ronda then chose Tates first round pick Pena against Baszler.
TUF Episode 2 ~ Ladies first
After everyone moved into the house, Team Tates Chris Holdsworth started thinking about all the sexual possibilities with all the women in the house, however the women would have none of it. During Team Tates training session, Louis Fisette was informed he was injured and couldnt continue and was subsequently replaced by Tim Gorman who lost in his elimination fight.
Rousey also made an effort to get under Tates skin when she barged into the Training Center exactly as 6pm to kick Team Tate out. Finally the fight came and after a weird weigh in where Baszler stuck a queen of spades card in Penas bra, Pena pulled off an upset by enduring Baszlers assault in the first round then coming back and submitting her in the second round. Rousey felt the burden of Baszlers loss and turned it into rage by telling Tate that she would destroy her once again.
Next week we get to see a shouting match between the coaching staffs and the first mens bout. Please leave a comment.

I used a 1 liter soft-side Nalgene, with a strap though the cap loop and stand-up bottom, to put around one shoulder and across my torso while snowshoeing to have water near my body that would not freeze. It worked well. With a shorter strap you can lace up to two Nalgene water bottles, one in back…one in front, of appropriate size if you need extra water carrying capacity in your SUL setup, most comfortably if your pack has no hipbelt.
Stuff needed:
1. Nalgene soft-side container
2. 1" strap
3. Paper hole puncher
1. Punch holes in stand-up bottom to support a 1" strap.
2. Lace 1" strap through cap loop and bottom.
3. Put it on like a fanny pack.

Published: April 7, 2014 - 03:12 PM
WASHINGTON: Secretary of State John Kerry agreed Monday to meet with top diplomats from Russia, Ukraine and the European Union in a new push to calm tensions in eastern Ukraine, as the White House threatened further sanctions if Moscow intervenes.
Kerry's meeting with his counterparts will take place in the next 10 days, the State Department said, and comes amid mounting U.S. concern that Russia could build on its recent annexation of Crimea by trying to split off other areas of Ukraine. To that end, the White House issued a warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"If Russia moves into Eastern Ukraine, either overtly or covertly, this would be a very serious escalation," White House spokesman Jay Carney said, adding that the U.S. is "prepared to impose further sanctions on sectors of the Russian economy should the situation escalate."
Pro-Russian activists who have barricaded inside a government building in eastern Ukraine proclaimed the region independent, while calling for a referendum on seceding from Ukraine — a chain of events with ominous echoes of the prelude to Russia's annexation last month of Crimea. The Ukrainian government has vowed to quell the unrest despite the tens of thousands of Russian troops stationed along their joint border.
Making clear the U.S. considers Russia responsible for inciting unrest in eastern Ukraine, Carney said there's strong evidence that some pro-Russian protesters who have taken over government buildings in eastern Ukraine were paid, and are not local residents.
"What's clear is that this is a result of increased Russian pressure on Ukraine. And we see it in the troops that have massed on the border," Carney said, urging Putin to remove those troops from the border.
In a phone call earlier Monday, Kerry told his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, that the U.S. was watching events in an array of eastern Ukrainian cities with "great concern" and skepticism that they were spontaneous, the State Department said. Kerry pointed out that Russian intelligence operatives working in Ukraine had recently been arrested and called on Russia's government to disavow the actions of separatists.
Lavrov, for his part, emphasized a "persistent need for a deep and transparent constitutional reform with full involvement of all political forces and regions, particularly amid the escalating protests in southeastern Ukraine," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement.
He also underlined the "importance of a real dialogue on the federative structure of Ukraine and sealing its bloc-free status" — a nod to the Kremlin's preference that Ukraine abstain from joining NATO.
Associated Press writer Vladimir Isachenkov in Moscow contributed to this report.

IMO, the 3/4" grip height reduction is HUGE when it comes to reducing printing. The grip is usually the hardest part of a handgun to conceal.
As for appendix carry, as long as you have a holster and have safe drawing habits, the Glock is safe to carry. In my more reckless youth, I used to carry a Glock without a holster appendix and 4 o'clock with no negligent discharges. I also practiced drawing a lot and always keep my finger off the trigger. I'm a little wiser now and realize that a holster is much more comfortable because the gun doesn't shift.

Hazardous Materials Rules
Georgia Other
2.24 – Hazardous Materials Rules For All Commercial Drivers
All drivers should know something about hazardous materials. You must be able to recognize hazardous cargo, and you must know whether or not you can haul it without having a hazardous materials endorsement on your CDL license.
2.24.1 – What Are Hazardous Materials?
Hazardous materials are products that pose a risk to health, safety, and property during transportation. See Figure 2.24.
2.24.2 – Why Are There Rules?
You must follow the many rules about transporting hazardous materials. The intent of the rules is to:
- Contain the product.
- Communicate the risk.
- Ensure safe drivers and equipment.
To Contain the Product. Many hazardous products can injure or kill on contact. To protect drivers and others from contact, the rules tell shippers how to package safely. Similar rules tell drivers how to load, transport, and unload bulk tanks. These are containment rules.
To Communicate the Risk. The shipper uses a shipping paper and diamond shaped hazard labels to warn dockworkers and drivers of the risk.
After an accident or hazardous material spill or leak, you may be injured and unable to communicate the hazards of the materials you are transporting. Firefighters and police can prevent or reduce the amount of damage or injury at the scene if they know what hazardous materials are being transported. Your life, and the lives of others, may depend on quickly locating the hazardous materials shipping papers. For that reason, you must identify shipping papers related to hazardous materials or keep them on top of other shipping papers. You must also keep shipping papers:
- In a pouch on the driver's door, or
- In clear view within reach while driving, or
- On the driver's seat when out of the vehicle.
2.24.3 – Lists of Regulated Products
Placards are used to warn others of hazardous materials. Placards are signs put on the outside of a vehicle that identify the hazard class of the cargo. A placarded vehicle must have at least four identical placards. They are put on the front, rear, and both sides. Placards must be readable from all four directions. They must be at least 10 3/4 inches square, turned upright on a point, in a diamond shape. Cargo tanks and other bulk packaging display the identification number of their contents on placards or orange panels.
Identification Numbers are a four digit code used by first responders to identify hazardous materials. An identification number may be used to identify more than one chemical on shipping papers. The identification number will be preceded by the letters "NA" or "UN." The US DOT Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) lists the chemicals and the identification numbers assigned to them.
Not all vehicles carrying hazardous materials need to have placards. The rules about placards are given in Section 9 of this manual. You can drive a vehicle that carries hazardous materials if it does not require placards. If it requires placards, you cannot drive it unless your driver license has the hazardous materials endorsement. See Figure 2.25.
The rules require all drivers of placarded vehicles to learn how to safely load and transport hazardous products. They must have a commercial driver license with the hazardous materials endorsement. To get the required endorsement, you must pass a written test on material found in Section 9 of this manual. A tank endorsement is required for certain vehicles that transport liquids or gases. The liquid or gas does not have to be a hazardous material. A tank endorsement is only required if your vehicle needs a Class A or B CDL and your vehicle has a permanently mounted cargo tank of any capacity; or your vehicle is carrying a portable tank with a capacity of 1,000 gallons or more.
Drivers who need the hazardous materials endorsement must learn the placard rules. If you do not know if your vehicle needs placards, ask your employer. Never drive a vehicle needing placards unless you have the hazardous materials endorsement. To do so is a crime. When stopped, you will be cited and you will not be allowed to drive your truck. It will cost you time and money. A failure to placard when needed may risk your life and others if you have an accident. Emergency help will not know of your hazardous cargo.
Hazardous materials drivers must also know which products they can load together, and which they cannot. These rules are also in Section 9. Before loading a truck with more than one type of product, you must know if it is safe to load them together. If you do not know, ask your employer and consult the regulations.

Midfielder Nigel de Jong claims Manchester City must win a trophy to consider the season a success - and there can be no excuses for failure.
City have led the Barclays Premier League for much of the season but were knocked off the top by Manchester United after defeat at Swansea on Sunday.
And De Jong admits that to miss out on the title now - or even finish the season empty-handed - would be a major blow.
City's only other prospect of silverware is in the Europa League but they must overturn a 1-0 deficit as they meet Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of their last-16 tie at the Etihad Stadium tonight.
De Jong said: "We always said at the beginning of the season we wanted to compete to win as many competitions as we can.
"We have come so far and we have just got to fight and concentrate until the end.
"Our main goal is the Premier League, that doesn't change, but we're still in the Europa League and the only way we can succeed this season is to win one of the prizes.
"After we won the FA Cup, everybody is hungry for more.
"We brought players in to make the squad bigger and stronger. You can't have any excuses at the end of the day."
Yet despite the frustration of losing top spot, De Jong does not feel under extra pressure.
City trail by a point with 10 games remaining and De Jong thinks that gap is of little significance at this stage.
The 27-year-old said: "I don't think there is any advantage or disadvantage in which position you have in the league table if it is only one or two points.
"We just have to focus on what we do and United will do the same.
"For us as a team there is no pressure at all."
Manager Roberto Mancini is considering recalling controversial striker Carlos Tevez for next Wednesday's clash against Chelsea.
The Argentinian, who has not played since September after a dispute with the club, has now been back in training a month and is close to match fitness.
"Everybody is keen," said De Jong. "Of course he had some difficulties with the club but he is here now and we like to look to the future instead of the past. Nobody ever doubted his qualities."
Tevez cannot play tonight as he is not registered for the Europa League while captain Vincent Kompany remains sidelined and fellow defender Joleon Lescott is doubtful.
De Jong said: "Sporting deserved their 1-0 victory at home but you have two games to get into the next round.
"If we want to go through, we need to win - it's that simple and we're confident we can do that."

About Me
http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?threa … age=1#last
Hi all!
I have been doing this since Oct 2005, and have loved every minute of it. I live in the centre of Bristol, although I'm actually a South Devon girl at heart (my hometown is Torquay).
I'm currently seeking shoots to add to my tearsheets and commercial experience. If you can help me with this, please get in touch! I will negotiate rates if it's something published (or similar) that I can add to my modelling CV, as it's more important to me to get the experience at the moment.
I work up to and including implied nude only - No nipples, no genitals in any more images of me, so please do not contact me for any 'adult' work.
Please contact for any further details, rates, references or for a link to my large collection of other images and examples of my work.
Many thanks for viewing my portfolio! Any questions - give me a shout!
I also organise the monthly Bristol-based models and photographers networking meetings. These are open to Models, Photographers, Stylists, Studios - anyone in this industry from these kinds of sites who're interested in putting faces to names.
They're very casual and open to all - they now attract about 50-80 people who come from Bristol, The Midlands, South Wales, The South West and South England. Any enquiries, please feel free to contact me!

I am very good at picking who WON'T win the NL Central!
Everyone in the planet seemed to be picking the defending NL Central champ to cruise to another October date... everyone except your pal Sully.
Your Pal Sully took a look at the Cincinnati Reds and thought "Hey! THIS team is exciting, packed with young talent and the defending champ is overrated."
So before the season began, I stuck my neck out and said "THE IS THE YEAR FOR THE CINCINNATI REDS! I don't care what the experts say!"
Quite a prediction, isn't it?
One problem.
I made that prediction for the 2009 season.
Everyone and their cow were predicting the Cubs were going to win their third straight division... so many so that when I DIDN'T pick them, I had to write another post to justify my prediction.
Now I DID predict the actual division champion, the Cardinals, would make the playoffs. I picked them as the Wild Card team, not the Division Champs.
Well THIS year, everyone seemed to think the Cardinals were the no brainer pick to repeat as NL Central champs... again, everyone but your pal Sully.
And look at how the Cardinals are doing. Today the Cardinals got swept by the lowly Astros and fallen 7 games back in the loss column of the Reds.
So who did I pick? The Brewers!
Hey, I thought their pitching was going to be better and I liked their line up.
You know what? Pick the Brewers for NEXT year... I tend to be a year EARLY for the party.

Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red
Did you see her
Did you see?
Did you get her
Did you stop her
Did you end her life with glee?"
The Wolves crowded round
as their leader did walk in
wiping his dagger on his cloak
staining it as red as his preys name had been.
He smiled as he looked up
sharp teeth flashing in the light
and waved his hand at the open door
to reveal a small girl in a cage.
Little Red
Here is is
This is her
I got her
and I stopped her
And her mother's gone once more."
The cheers of the Wolves
shook the little room
and the girl in red shrank back.
But they all ran past her
without a glance
until she was left alone with their leader.
His smile widened as
he stalked towards her
seeing the fear on her face
and he crouched down
to look at her
as he slowly started to speak.
Little Red
no use in crying
no use in tears
you are the start
of the end
of the Princesses kingdom rule."
Around the kingdoms
the Wolves did hunt
the others girls of stories and dreams
and then they met up
under the stars and the moon
and cheered for their success.
Did you see her
was it her?
Did you get her
Did you stop her
Did you end her life with glee?"
And with each princess that
they stole and broke
the world grew more into shadow
And the wolves watched from
the corners of darkness
as despair ruled over the land
Sleeping Beauty
Did you see her
was it her?
Did you get her
Did you stop her
Did you end her life with glee?"
And when the murder was over
and they had no one left to hunt
the Wolves went back to their den in the trees
to see what their Leader had done.
And out stepped a young girl in red
her eyes lifeless and dead
The wolves new weapon, the last princess left
now ruling in the way they had dreamed.
Little Red
Do you see it
See the dream?
Rule with us
and rule for us
And rule the darkness here with glee."
