Screenings must be scheduled after October 5, 2017.
Complete the request form below.
What does it mean to "Host a Screening?"
Hosting a screening means that you will organize an event for your community to watch and experience the Stopping Traffic film.
As the host, you decide when and where the event takes place and the team to help you put it together. A screening can be for a small group of individual or a large conference. There are no minimum requirements.
We will provide you with a copy of the film (in either digital or dvd format), a screening guide, and basic marketing materials.
Can someone from the film attend our screening?
YES! If the director, producer, cast or member of the production team is available, they will be happy to introduce the film, speak about the project, and lead a Q&A afterward.
There is an appearance fee and travel expenses must be covered (round trip airfare, transportation, and hotel) for each speaker.
After I complete the request form, what's next?
Once we review, approve, and process your request, we will send you a license contract to be completed. This contract grants you permission to screen the film one-time, on the date/time given, and at the location mentioned.
After you sign the contract, you will receive the screening materials at least 2-3 weeks in advance of your STOPPING TRAFFIC screening. If there is an immediate need for a screening, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can expedite the process.

Dr Gehrmann performed ACL reconstruction on my 17 year old daughter. From the first appointment, he took the time to explain what was going on. He sat down with my daughter and showed her a model knee and explained to her what happened . Dr. Gehrmann made my daughter and I feel very comfortable including the day of her surgery! Awesome doctor!

Excellent Dr
Dr Gehrmann is a professional, knowledgeable, and caring dr. From diagnosis to postop and beyond, he is always attentive to your needs/concerns. Admittedly sometimes hard to get, you may have to get his secretary or his PA, or leave multiple messages, but when you do get Dr G he is willing to give you time and attention no matter what day or time it is and he is willing to go out of his way to work with you at sometimes even at your convenience. His PA a little less, but we will definitely continue to go to Dr G for any of our orthopaedic needs. He is definitely a dr you can trust to take good care of you.

Question: How do I enter the W-2 Verification Code?
Answer: Enter it as it appears on the W-2 with the exception of the hyphens
Question: Will the IRS Reject my return if it does not contain the hyphens
Answer: No, the IRS e-file schema does not allow the hyphens to be inserted into the e-file. The hyphens are on the W-2 to make it easier to read and enter the 16 digit code
Question: Will the IRS reject my return if I forgot to enter the verification code
Answer: No

"A mother knows what her child's gone through, even if she didn't see it herself." ― Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Gadis Pantai
Moms really are the best. They are strong, comforting, wise. Some are moms by blood and biology, others by sheer love and choice alone. Here are 30 powerful photos that illustrate just what motherhood really means. No mom is perfect, but every mom gives it everything they have.
"Motherhood: All love begins and ends there." ― Robert Browning
"Making the decision to have a child — it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. " ― Elizabeth Stone
"Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your children. " ― Sam Levenson
"Cleaning the house while the children are home is like shoveling while it's still snowing. " ― Erma Bombeck
"There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one. " ― Jill Churchill
"Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. " ― Barbara Kingsolver
"Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy. " ― Tina Fey
"To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow. " ― Maya Angelou
" [Motherhood is] the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It's huge and scary—it's an act of infinite optimism. " ― Gilda Radner
"Whether your pregnancy was meticulously planned, medically coaxed, or happened by surprise, one thing is certain—your life will never be the same. " ― Catherine Jones
"Motherhood is an experiment in how long your body can function without adequate sleep or nourishment and fueled only on adrenaline, caffeine, and baby smiles. " ― Unknown
"There's no bitch on earth like a mother frightened for her kids. " ― Stephen King
"Motherhood is tough. If you just want a wonderful little creature to love, you can get a puppy. " ― Barbara Walters
"In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves. " ― Myla and Jon Kabat-Zinn
"Having kids is kind of like living in a frat house. Everything is sticky, and you're not quite sure why." ― Unknown
"A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary. " ― Dorothy Canfield Fisher
"A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's. " ― Diana, Princess of Wales
"We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong. " ― Laura Stavoe Harm
"A mother is a person who, when seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. " ― Tenneva Jordan
"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. " ― Sophia Loren
"Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world, a mother's love is not. " ― James Joyce
"It's not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it. " ― Dorothy, The Golden Girls
"Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown. In my heart it don't mean a thing. " ― Toni Morrison
"Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation. " ― Robert A. Heinlein, Have Space Suit—Will Travel
"Birth takes a woman's deepest fears about herself and show her that she is stronger than them. " ― Unknown
"I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know. " ― Mitch Albom
"Kids don't stay with you if you do it right. It's the one job where, the better you are, the more surely you won't be needed in the long run. " ― Barbara Kingsolver
"In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe. " ― N.K. Jemisin, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
"Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood – finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without." ― Jodi Picoult, Perfect Match
"If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent. " ― Bette Davis

Swallowed, holding back the need to kiss him again, turning away quickly as he reached for his shirt and boots.
Sat on the bed a second to pull them on, then stood, shifting on his feet as he glanced around the room, shoving his hands in his pockets.
Didn't want to go.

The air seemed to press in on them both so hard that Spike felt the need to roll his shoulders, trying not to look at Lindsey. If he looked at him, he'd never let him leave.
A growl cracked the silence and Spike was over in front of Lindsey in a shot, mashing his lips to his. Snarled into those lips, biting, sucking, claiming every last bit of that mouth he could find.
"You have to go or they'll come looking for you. Gotta be a good boy, at least for a little while longer." Dug his fingers into his lower back, teeth bared in frustration for a moment.
"Gonna be bad enough that you're covered in my scent. They'll take it as a good sign you came back to them, though. Don't need to burn bridges just yet."
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 04:07 am (UTC)
His head spun, whimpering into Spike's mouth as his knees tried to give out, his hands scrabbling to grip the older vampire's shoulders.
Needed him so bad.
Moaned soft, back arching into the digging in fingers, hips pressing tight to Spike's as he panted up at him.
Loving the fact he was covered in Spike, that everyone would know it, fuck the consequences. Biting back the words to please make him stay.
Letting his eyes say it for him.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 04:28 am (UTC)
Felt like every last bit of him hurt. That he would be the biggest bloody fool on the planet to let him leave.
But he had to. For the time being.
"You have to go, pet." He stroked down Lindsey's cheek. "They finally let you out. To not go back tonight would be a nasty thing to do to them."
Kneaded the back of his neck. "Tomorrow night. Go back and sleep. It'll pass faster than you'd think that way."
Sighing, he brought both his hands to his head, trying to stop touching the boy.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 04:35 am (UTC)
He swallowed again past his tight throat, nodding as he closed his eyes and pressed into the fleeting touches before they were gone.
"I know. I.. I'll see you tomorrow night, then," he said softly, dropping his hands from Spike's shoulders as he stepped back.
Clenched his jaw, turning towards the door.
Needing to go if he was going.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 04:42 am (UTC)
It was ripping his heart in half.
Tugged so hard at his hair he was afraid he'd yank clumps right out of his scalp, fighting the urge to slam his boot into something. Wanted to scream, pull him back, sink his fangs in again and again until their blood could barely be considered solely their own.
Watched Lindsey's feet go for the door, unable to look up any higher. Just stood motionless as he let him walk out for a whole day.
Yeah. Most definitely the biggest ponce on the planet.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 04:52 am (UTC)
"What the fuck is this?" He yanked harder at the chain cuffing his wrist to the bedpost, cursing that he'd managed to somehow sleep through it.
"I'm not some fuckin' teenager out past my goddamned curfew, Angel," he yelled, knowing the older vampire would hear him if he was in the building.
Slumped back down, tugging harder at the chain, wondering what the hell vamp powers were good for when he couldn't even use them to get out of something like that.
Had known Angel was pissed the way he'd simply turned and walked away as soon as he had gotten close enough to tell he hadn't had any human blood. Saw his eyes flash, knew he knew.
Hadn't expected this, though.
"Damnit. I didn't hurt anyone," he muttered, chest and throat aching as his body strained to get free, go to Spike. Needing Spike.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 05:01 am (UTC)
Spike had worked through half a pack in two hours. Knew Lindsey was awake. Knew it.
Fucking Angel.
He'd done something. Probably chained him down again. What good did that do? Wasn't gonna make any friends that way. But Angel didn't care about showing anyone good faith. Was too "big and bad" for that.
Stubbed out his latest fag and stood up in the basement he'd found. Was practically a loft underground, even had a little bathroom tucked into one corner. No leaks, no windows.
Paced for another few minutes until his agitation got the best of him. Headed out the door with a slam of the door.
Time to find out what they did to his boy.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 05:10 am (UTC)
He sulked, absolutely disgusted.
Felt like he'd been caught with a girl by his dad and gotten grounded, only now he was goddamned old enough to do whatever the hell he wanted.
Angel'd been up once to try and reason with him in the man's pigheaded, clumsy way, ranting about how Spike was using him to get to him.
Hadn't bothered trying to reason back, Angel never had listened to a word he said.
Cordelia had just left with an empty mug of that disgusting pig's blood, offering him an almost sympathetic smile as she made a lame joke about quarantining him because of Spike germs.
Could hear them all downstairs, the murmur of their voices. Yanking again on the chain, he winced at the metal digging and cutting into his skin.
Needed out of here.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 05:22 am (UTC)
Was so easy to sneak into through the sewer systems again. Angel really should have these guarded or locked or something.
When he got up to Angel's apartment, he could smell Lindsey as if he was right next to him. Filled his senses, anger and frustration rolling off him in waves.
Such a good boy.
Found him exactly where he'd figured, on Angel's bed. Chained like a bleeding animal. He hadn't even fed off anyone yet, this was beyond uncalled for.
A deadly growl filled his chest as he saw his childe held there, eyes flashing as he tried to get himself to move. But the fact was he was too stiff with sheer rage that he couldn't seem to get his legs to work.
Finally ate the floor in three long strides, bending over Lindsey as he ran his hands down his arms. "You alright, pet?"
Took a long inhale and only sensed the faintest traces of Angel and his cronies on him. They'd barely even been near him.
Like he was a bloody ticking time bomb.
Snarled and devoured Lindsey's mouth, nails digging into his arms. Wanted him free. Now. But as his hands drifted up to test the shackles, he felt his eyes flash yellow.
Of couse Angel would have spelled chains. Who knew when Angelus would want to come out and play again.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 05:30 am (UTC)
Thought he was finally going mad when the craving, burning pressing need stopped and he could smell Spike. Feel him.
But it wasn't a few minutes later that his sire was standing in the doorway, absolutely pissed off. He felt something flinch back inside even as the rest all strained towards the older vampire. Not realizing until those hands stroked down his arms, until he spoke, that it wasn't Lindsey he was mad at.
Barely had time to nod before he was moaning, gasping under the onslaught of his mouth, body straining up towards him.
"I'm fine now," he finally panted out as Spike raised his head, following the blonde's gaze to the chains.
Yanked at them yet again, in futile frustration.
Posted at: February 2nd, 2007 05:39 am (UTC)
Spike gripped those straining wrists, squeezing slightly. "Shh, shh. These were made to hold Angelus, don't think you're gettin' out of these without a key, sweet boy."
Turned and looked around for the keys, rooting through drawers, but no keys were found. Would ask Lindsey, maybe then he'd try the other rooms.
Came back to the bed, crawling up next to him as he petted and soothed his childe down. No use to him riled and impulsive.
"Did you see where they put the-" Froze and looked up, through the wall almost, attention focused on the lift beyond. Someone was coming down. Someone who wasn't Angel.
They better have a good explanation. Or Angel will have gotten one of his own killed.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 02:10 am (UTC)
He felt a little better knowing even the other vampires wouldn't be able to get out of the chains, had seriously been wondering just how much stronger it was supposed to have made him that he couldn't. Felt the demon subside a little now that he knew it wasn't because he was weak.
Of course, the petting hands helped too and he couldn't help the moan at the other man's touch, body twisting and straining to press in closer.
Glanced up as Spike stopped speaking, his attention on the wall, and after a moment he heard it, too. The heartbeat coming closer. He couldn't tell if it was Cordy or Wes but the look on his sire's face wasn't promising for either.
"Don't.." he started, as the door opened, eyes glancing at Spike pleadingly.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 02:19 am (UTC)
Spike snarled, veins bluging as he stopped the human dead in his tracks.
Wes stopped dead in his tracks, hands up. "Spike, I presume."
"Too bloody right. What the fuck are you trying to pull." Wanted to rip the throat out of every last thing in this place, but he could feel the apprehension floating off him in waves. These people still meant something to him.
They were lucky.
Snapped his head around to look at Lindsey, eyes blazing. "They have you chained up like a sodding animal. Why can't I kill them?"
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 02:26 am (UTC)
He winced back from Spike's anger, even though he knew it wasn't aimed at him. That primal part of him twisting in his mind kept wanting to appease the older vapmire.
Eyes darted from Spike's to Wesley's, trying to signal with his own for the human to get the fuck out and fast because he didn't trust any small hold he had on his sire to keep them safe.
"It wasn't them. They had nothing to do with this."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 02:37 am (UTC)
"It was only Him then? They fought and clawed to keep you free, but Angel just wouldn't listen to them?" He shot up from the bed, stalking over to Wesley who was still dead still in the doorway.
He took a long scent of the air, smiling cruelly at the ex-watcher. "You smell like pants-sodding fear and aftershave. If I killed you now, I'd be putting you out of your misery."
Shot his hand out and grabbed Wesley's collar, making him lose his balance and fall into Spike's chest as he ground out the next into the the human's ear.
"If he's gonna insist on coming back to your little shithole, you unchain him RIGHT the hell now. And remember, he's the only reason you're still alive."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 02:57 am (UTC)
"Spi-ike," he groaned out, eyes apologetic as he shrugged helplessly in Wes's direction when the man glanced at him for help.
Tried to keep the fear for the human down, not sure his sire would appreciate it.
"They don't have the keys. There's nothing he coulda done."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 03:06 am (UTC)
Spike released Wesley so hard that the man almost fell into the hall, eyes hard. "Then GET the keys, you little ponce."
Wes groaned and stood, rubbing at his throat. "I can try. Not sure where they are, but I think Angel left them in his desk."
Nodding Spike settled a stony stare on him. "Be a good boy, then. Off with you."
He sneered, an ugly, hateful look. "He trusted your lot. Felt obligated. And this is the thanks he gets."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 03:36 am (UTC)
Worried at his bottom lip as Wes left the room, half releived, half panicking because he knew Angel would be the first place the ex Watcher would go after that, friend or not.
Twisted at the chain again even though he knew it wouldn't do any good.
"There really wasn't anything he coulda done. He warned me to be back before Angel, ain't his fault I got sidetracked."
Bit back the 'Please get out of here before Angel finds you', knowing how it would sound. Didn't want him to think he couldn't deal with him but everything in him strove to keep him from getting himself killed.
Needed him.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 04:18 am (UTC)
Could hear the ponce tromping down the stairs of Angel's feet before he could even smell the bugger.
"SPIKE." Angel stood off with Spike, eyebrows knit together as he stared the blonde down. "Get out. And leave me and mine alone."
"You leave MINE alone, Angelus." He gestured behind him. "The last thing that boy wanted to do last night was come back...here." He said the word like it was trash on his lips. "I practically had to shove him out the door and rip my heart out while I did it. And what does he get?" He shoved at Angel. "Locked up like a rabid Saint Bernard."
Angel growled at him, stalking in again. "You're a bloodthirsty monster, Spike. And Lindsey is just like you. Need to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone."
"That's my sodding problem, not yours! Was a time you would have crowed to the heavens at the prospect." He narrowed his eyes. "But no. Now we get this version that thinks he can save the bloody world."
"If I had done what I wanted, Lindsey would be dead. Just like YOU wanted. So how about you walk away, Spike. Leave him where he might learn to get by without killing."
"Like hell!"
"I'm serious. Get the FUCK out of my home."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 04:48 am (UTC)
He groaned, dropping his head back on the pillow. Everything in him wanting to curl up at the reminder that both of them wanted him dead, saw him as a problem.
Didn't see any way out of this now, should have just never came back. Didn't feel welcome there anymore and it wasn't like Angel was going to just let him leave with Spike to go be a 'bloodthirsty monster'.
Not to mention all the yelling was seriously jarring to his oversensitized hearing he still hadn't gotten used to.
"If you'll unchain a hand and give me a stake, I'll do it myself and save you both the trouble, just to stop listening to you," he growled.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 04:59 am (UTC)
Both heads whirled in his direction, but it was Spike who advanced on him first.
"Don't you DARE talk like that. Last thing I need it you thinking you're anything less than perfect, little Lindsey."
He petted down the boy's cheek, soothing him. Trying to apologize for everything he'd done, for letting himself get riled by Angel of all people.
"Oh spare me the act." Angel started to advance, but was stopped by a hand on his arm. Wes met his eyes, calm, even.
"Let him go. Make him come back at daybreak if it makes you feel better, but you know the chains don't do anything but make you more comfortable."
Angel frowned. "Should make everyone comfortable."
Wes sighed, rubbing his forehead. "I honestly could care less if Lindsey was out on the town or doing a jig around the office, Angel. You're the one that insisted on this." He nodded at the bed.
"And wouldn't you like your bed back sometime this century?"
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 05:13 am (UTC)
His eyes lowered, lashes fluttering down and sheilding them as he rubbed his cheek against Spike's hand in appeasement. To show he was sorry, he hadn't meant it, just didn't want to sit and listen to them go back and forth like he was some pet.
Savored the words, the touches, eyes flickering up a moment to send Wes a grateful look before tuning them both out. Still starved for every moment of contact with his sire after the long, painful week.
Turned his head to press his lips to Spike's palm, glancing up at him.
So focused on only him, he jumped when the key was tossed angrily onto the bed.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 05:22 am (UTC)
"He comes back." Angel growled. "Every night. No exceptions until I decide otherwise."
"And are you gonna keep doing this?" Spike shook the keys angrily, the loud clanging making more of a point than his words did. "Gonna keep him caged cuz you can't deal with your own demons?"
Angel growled and shoved his palm into the wall. "Fine. But the second I can smell human blood on him, he's dead. You hear me?"
"Crystal. You talk too bloody loud for me to breeze out." He turned back to Lindsey, undoing the chains and giving his childe a moment to rub his wrists before hauling him up against his chest.
"C'mon pet, let's get you out of here."
Could feel Angel's eyes boring a hole in his back and he turned his head, meeting eyes with his sire. "Is it the fact that he's mine that bothers you, or is it the fact that you know this is how it should have been?"
Felt old wounds kick up inside him but pushed it down as he turned ack to Lindsey, rocked him a few times before helping him up.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 05:41 am (UTC)
He rolled his eyes, muttering at being negociated over as he rubbed at his wrists. Moaned almost silently at the feel of Spike's body against his, arms wrapping around the older vampire's waist as he drew comfort from the touch.
Tried to ignore the undertones going on between them but he couldn't help but feel the tension, the slight faded pain in his sire.
He nuzzled up under Spike's jaw, shooting a glare Angel's way as the vampire shifted uncomfortably.
After all that had happened, he didn't know why it hadn't occured to him that they both had to have gone through this, that Spike had a sire of his own. Didn't like the thought.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 05:47 am (UTC)
Wrapped an arm around Lindsey's waist, walking them up to Angel as he blocked the door. "You gonna let me go enjoy an evening with my date here, dad? Promise I'll have him home by curfew."
Angel scowled and moved away, leaving Wes nodding at the floor beyond. Headed up the stairs, figured it was as good a way as any now.
Seemed Cordelia wasn't around that evening, which he took as a small blessing. Already dealt with enough of the crew tonight.
"Damn grandesire, thinkin' he can just chain you down and that fixes all his problems..." Shook his head and pulled Lindsey in tighter. "Let's forget about him for awhile. Found a new place, think it will do just fine."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:09 am (UTC)
Breathed in a sigh of relief as they left the building, smiling as Spike pulled him in closer. Felt more content than he probably should, after everything that had happened.
But he'd come for him. No one was dead. Or deader.
Glanced at him and tilted his head. "Yeah? Already?"
Arched a brow, grinning. "Does it have a bed?"
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:13 am (UTC)
Spike snorted, hand sliding down as it relaxed and settled on Lindsey's hip. "You think I'd find a place without a bed? Are you daft?"
Truth was it was pretty damn nice. Seemed it got heat through the exposed pipes, floors were finished and even carpeted in places. Landlord must have tried to rent the place out. But since he'd taken care of the landlord, no one should be bothering them for quite some time.
"Think you'll like it. It's....cozy. As cozy as you'll get with me, anyway. Dark. Needs decorating."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:18 am (UTC)
He laughed, leaning into Spike a moment. Unable to get enough of touching him, his touch.
"If it has a bed, I know I'll like it. Doubt I'll even notice the rest of it."
Sad but true, though he never would have admitted it as human. He was fast becoming addicted to this man, being under this man.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:26 am (UTC)
Spike smirked, tempted to shove Lindsey up against the nearest wall but knowing they would be there soon enough. And if he did that, they'd never get home.
"Yeah, well I'll notice it. One that's gotta live there for the time being, after all. I'll make it livable in no time."
He turned the corner onto the block where his new place was. "And, not far from Angel's little love suite. Can stay longer that way."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:33 am (UTC)
He groaned, head tilting back to stare up at the stars as he bumped hips with him, sliding an arm around that lean waist.
"I changed my mind, I don't wanna go back. Can't we just tell him to go to hell?"
Could remember how hard last night had been, how every step away from him had physically hurt until he'd crawled in bed and fallen unconcious.
Didn't want to do it again, ever again.
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:41 am (UTC)
"I tell him to do that all the time, pet. Doesn't help."
Guided him downstairs, opening the door with a soft click. Led him into the large loft-like area, closing the door.
"Home sweet home."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:54 am (UTC)
He sulked sullenly for a few moments until curiousity got the best of him, glancing around the open space. Dark, private, much better than a motel room.
Wasn't much but it was plenty and he didn't want to leave it, already.
Shoved down those feelings and turned back to Spike, cocking a brow and smiling. "It's perfect."
Took the step to make them chest to chest, sliding a look at his through his lashes.
"Except I don't see the bed you promised me."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 07:01 am (UTC)
Spike groaned low in his throat, ghosting his lips over Lindsey's sly expression.
"S'not all. C'mere." Took hold of Lindsey's hips and guided him backwards through the basic living area, kitchen nook, bathroom. Around the corner to the other half of the place, the bed and lamp glowing softly in the room.
Turned the boy around, hips still flush with hips. "Will that suffice?"
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 07:10 am (UTC)
He moaned, every step, movement, pressing them closer together, rubbing.
Glanced at the bed, then back to Spike, licking over his lips before sinking his teeth into his bottom one.
Glancing at the bed again and shrugging.
"Maybe. Bed looks a little too firm, though. We should try it out, make sure."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 07:14 am (UTC)
"It's like you read my mind, luv." He walked them over, crotch grinding into the soft globes of Lindsey's ass. Dropped him down on the mattress, duster and shirt falling to the floor within seconds.
"If it's too firm, we can just beat it into submission."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:05 pm (UTC)
Groaned, squirming against him until he was dropped down onto the mattress. Kicked off his boots and socks before getting up on his elbows, wriggling over onto his back.
Stared up at Spike through hot, half-closed eyes, licking over his lips. "Kinda want it to be too hard, now."
Posted at: February 3rd, 2007 06:12 pm (UTC)
"Unless the bed's the one fucking you tonight, it shouldn't fuckin' matter."
Crawled up that lithe, squirming body, naked and hard, taking in the sight of the tension in those muscles, the bulge at his groin.
Cupped over that hard length, pressing the heel of his hand into the head. "Look a little pent up, there." He rotated his hand, undoing the buttons on the fly.
"Think someone should do something about that."
Posted at: February 4th, 2007 06:07 am (UTC)
He moaned roughly, head falling back. Neck arching as he squirmed his hips up against that tormenting hand.
Panted soft as he tried to get control back of his trembling body, hips pushing up pleadingly as the pressure eased with every button.
"Please," he groaned, toes curling into the sheets, teeth scraping over his bottom lip. Needed him so bad.
Posted at: February 4th, 2007 06:16 am (UTC)
Was desperate to have a taste, feel that throbbing flesh on his tongue. Pulled the flaps of those jeans open, crawling down as he nuzzled into the musky scent of arousal and his childe, before sucking the head into his mouth.
Licked and sucked carefully at the tangy skin, moaning as he worked more and more between his lips, hands settling on his hips. Wanted to feel him all the way down, taste every last bit of his boy.
Posted at: February 4th, 2007 07:33 am (UTC)
He yelped, the only way he could describe the strangled, startled sound, sensation so intense his vision went grey a moment. Twisted up, whimpering low in his throat as his hands gripped helpless at the sheets, toes curling hard as his feet dug into the mattress.
Hips jerked up pleadingly, again and again, unable to stop the movement.
"Oh god, fuck.. fuck," he whimpered, voice raw, husky.
Posted at: February 4th, 2007 07:37 am (UTC)
Spike groaned so low that it sent vibrations all the way down to his own hips. The way Lindsey was losing control on his mouth, jerking, needing thrusts, made Spike harder than he thought possible.
Worked the jeans down and off Lindsey's legs, then descended back onto that thick length, sucking hungrily as his hand went to those heavy balls under his chin.
Let his tongue flick and swirl in all the senstive places he usually found on himself.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 10:21 pm (UTC)
Keened soft, strangled, at the vibrations the groan sent through his cock, entire body going stiff until they passed, whimpering hard.
Spread his thighs wide, eyes closing as his head pressed back into the mattress, the hand on his balls, tongue flicking along his cock, driving him insane. Was already so hot, dizzy with it, so close to an embarassingly fast orgasm that his breath was hitching hard.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 10:28 pm (UTC)
Downed Lindsey to the root, swallowing over and over the thick, hard length there as he rolled those heavy balls in his hand. Could tell the boy was close, very close and wanted to get the edge off, for at least one of them.
Worked his hand deep into the boy's jeans, sliding his fingers into position as he started bobbing for a moment. Stilled with Lindsey once again down his throat, his middle finger sliding home as he swallowed.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 10:38 pm (UTC)
Thought he might have screamed, throat sore a moment later when the world came back and stopped spinning.
Body still shuddering hard, bucking up, making raw wounded sounds that would have embarassed him if he could string two brain cells together to make a thought.
Unable to beleive he'd come that hard, that fast, reeling with the pleasure of that mouth, finger.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 10:50 pm (UTC)
Slid off him with a loud, hungry slurp, panting hard as his hand immediately dropped off Lindsey and ground itself hard into the base of his own dick.
Nuzzled into that softening flesh, nose burrowing into the crook of hip and thigh as he purred, kissing and licking at the thin skin, smelling the blood just under the surface.
He started rubbing himself against the mattress, unable to decide between getting off and making it last or taking his childe hard and fast, sinking into Lindsey in one thrust.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 10:58 pm (UTC)
He shivered, eyes heavy and unfocused as he whimpered soft in his throat, thigh sliding further open as he pressed up against the mouth there, inviting.
Soft purr starting in his chest as a heavy hand blindly sank into Spike's hair. Petting through the strands dazedly.
Mewled, body sensitive against the sheets, the cool skin pressing against his.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 11:05 pm (UTC)
Growled dark and low as Lindsey slid that hand in his hair, a strong sense of pride, need, filling him.
Never knew this was what having a childe was like. Maybe it was the way it was supposed to be, the incurable draw, hunger for his body, blood. Wanted to claim him over and over, every single night, til the end of time.
Shifted as he buried his face harder into that inviting artery, fangs pricking as he growled and rubbed himself harder against the sheets. His fist closed around himself, grinding as he sank his fangs in deep, swallowing that first thick mouthful down as he jerked and came, body practically vibrating as he drank down that blood.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 11:14 pm (UTC)
Gasped and arched, head coming off the bed and falling back with a thump. Moaned and whimpered, hips twisting carefully to not dislodge his sire as his entire body shuddered.
Felt so good, so fucking good, every pull going straight to his dick even as it softened.
Fisted in that soft hair, moaning and mewling.
Posted at: February 6th, 2007 11:25 pm (UTC)
One, two, three more thrusts against the sheets and he was coming, that arousal-spiked blood and that strong hand in his hair throwing him over the edge.
He moaned and gulped Lindsey down 'til he had stopped coming, lapping the wound closed slowly as he purred and shivered hard at his climax.
Finally drifted up, fingers deftly undoing each button on Lindsey's shirt as he went, licking his lips as he shifted back and kissed his childe, settling between his legs. Pulled back with a sigh, humming low as he nipped at that swollen lower lip.
"Taste so damn good, you know that?"

Ok so yeah. Hehehe. I've had 3/4 of a bottle of wine. I'm ever so slightly drunk. This is what I write when drunk. And yes, I know I deviate from the canon. But sod it, I can do what I like. Can't believe they'd not even touch each other for three years. Psh. Implausible.
The Hanged Man was never normally quiet. Only in the small hours of the morning did it's usual lively atmosphere simmer down to a dull roar. Right now, Hawke dearly wished that it was the small hours of the morning. She had been dragged into the tavern by Isabela, who had long since lost interest and was now chatting up some unsuspecting dock worker over at the bar. To her credit, Hawke had decided to stick out the evening and not flee back to her mansion in Hightown as soon as she was given a moment to herself. But she had been nursing that one pint of ale for the entire night and even though she was trying her hardest, Varric could see that she was struggling to keep up with the conversation she was in. He could see the strain in the smile that didn't reach her eyes; hear the weariness in her voice; saw the way her shoulders would sag when she thought no one was looking.
If he thought back to the previous few days, she had seemed out of sorts then but not to the same extent. It had been building in the background for a while now, it just took him until now to see it. She was teetering on the brink of exhaustion and only now was he starting to see the cracks. It was amazing how the woman had been able to hide it until now. All that stress. All that loss. All that heartache. And she kept on with a bright smile on her face and a quick comment on her lips. Perhaps it should have been more obvious, because as the year went down and the business with the Qunari came to a head, the sarcastic and witty Hawke was ever-so-slowly replaced by someone who was downright aggressive to anyone that wasn't in her little group of companions. It had started with the loss of Leandra and grown from there. The whole business with Mother Petrice and the Arishok just seemed to speed up the process.
Even now, months after she was titled as Champion, her demeanour wasn't improving. True, it wasn't getting worse - but if Varric was any judge, the hostile edge was just being dulled by a general weariness. He had been pretending to sketch for a good hour, and to be fair, he had managed to get her basic outline down. And as he looked down at his pencil drawing and the real thing, he realised just how low she looked. Thumbing through the pages of his sketchbook, he stopped at each drawing he'd done of Hawke when she was in the tavern. Most were just her sitting and talking to her companions, but none had the sagging outline she now occupied.
Merrill had wandered off with a smile on her face and left Hawke alone with her mug of ale, just staring into the lacquered cup. Now totally alone, Varric truly saw the damage. Heavy shoulders, deep bruising under her eyes, pale lips. Hawke, their gorgeous, vibrant leader that commanded attention, was now slipping into the background. He didn't know if she was doing it on purpose, and she was almost as good at stealth as Isabela, or if she was doing it subconsciously. Either way, it was working. People were suddenly leaving her alone.
The door opened with a blast of cold Haring air and a sudden flurry of snowflakes as if to remind everyone what time of year it was. It was shut just as quickly and Fenris hung his cloak up on the peg next to the one with a hood lined in white fur - Hawke's own. Varric couldn't help but smile at that small thing as he glanced over to Hawke. She too had noticed the elf enter, but alarmingly, she only had only faintly brightened. Normally, his appearance would have made her smile and wave him over. Instead, she watched him with impassive eyes. He hadn't noticed her either. She really wasn't being seen. It was so unusual, as if she had some kind of invisibility cloak that hid her from anyone apart from Varric.
His attention drifted between the elf and Hawke as she watched him at the bar. Varric noticed the flicker of a flinty emotion flash across her face as Isabela sauntered casually over to Fenris and began pawing at him. Even Varric frowned at that, more puzzled than anything. The Rivaini had told him specifically that she'd only flirt with Fenris if Hawke was in earshot, simply because she wanted to provoke jealousy in their illustrious leader. She was as bad as Merrill was when it came to pairing them together, only her idea of encouragement was somewhat…unorthodox. But the tipsy flirting that the pirate was doing now was so far removed from what she had said she'd do. He even felt uncomfortable for the elf, who was doing his best to put distance between himself and the pirate.
Sudden movement pulled his attention back to Hawke, who had downed her pint in one go and stood suddenly. For a moment, Varric thought she'd go over to the bar and physically put herself between Isabela and Fenris. But instead, she just rolled her shoulders and walked towards the door.
Fenris paused in his attempts to rid himself of Isabela when he saw Hawke stride past him without so much as a glance in his direction. In an instant he saw what it had taken Varric most of the night to see. The tiredness, the cracks. Something wasn't right with Hawke, and even though he should leave her alone, he was already moving to follow her.
As the elf vanished back out into the cold night, Isabela slid into the seat opposite Varric, a sly grin on her face.
Throwing his cloak back over his shoulders, Fenris attempted to locate Hawke's disappearing shape with no result. She was moving fast, and he figured that the only place she would go that fast was home. He decided to follow her at double pace, not quite jogging but certainly moving a lot faster than he predicted she was going. It worked, as he turned the corner he saw her just starting to climb the second set of steps that lead up to Hightown. He took the steps two at a time, quickly reaching the bottom of the flight she was on. "Hawke, wait"
For a moment, he thought she would ignore him, but her pace suddenly faltered and she stopped. She didn't turn around though, and her shoulders had tensed. He watched her fidget slightly before she sighed. "I'm just going home, Fenris. Return to the tavern, it's warmer there."
The quiver in her voice, the rough edge that came with lack of sleep and the dark undertones that suggested she had one hell of a headache, caused him to climb the steps between them. She wasn't going to just dismiss him like that. He wasn't going to allow it. At the very least, he could walk her home. Or, if she wouldn't allow that, he could shadow her. She was not herself and she was unarmed (apart from, perhaps, a hidden dagger or two). He didn't feel comfortable in letting her make the trip from Lowtown to Hightown alone. She tugged off her hood, sending the gathered snowflakes off the waxed surface in a flurry, her breath escaping as a puff of white air. In the pale light, Fenris could see how tired she truly looked. The shadows under her eyes looks so much darker, her eyes didn't sparkle like they used to. And she refused to meet his gaze.
"Please, Fenris. I…" Her voice broke, hoarse and ragged.
"There is something wrong, Hawke. You cannot pretend that there isn't." No anger, no demand. Nothing but concern. He had never seen her like this, not even after the death of her mother - and she had been a complete mess after that. But she had bounced back quickly, life demanded it. But now that the Qunari threat had been removed, that mass murderers had been put out of commission and all other problems solve, there was some semblance of peace. But unlike those few years of peace after the Deep Roads, where Hawke could spend her time both getting her family home back and then getting it to a liveable state for her mother, she now had nothing. A big empty house with just her servants and her dog for company. And with nothing to occupy her mind, her thoughts were consuming her. It hurt him to see it. To see her like this.
"Wrong?" She said, flashing him a winning smile that never reached her eyes. "Why would there be anything wrong?"
He sighed. "You tell me, Hawke. Why would there be anything wrong?"
"No reason at all. I have a home, I have enough coin to live like a queen. I have a city that adores me, I have friends to drink with. It doesn't matter that…" Her breath hitched as she snatched her gaze from his. "It doesn't matter that my mother has joined my father and brother. It doesn't matter that my sister is locked in the Gallows. Or that the man I -" She cut herself off, stopping herself from saying whatever it was she was going to say, chewing on her lip vigorously.
The wind whipped up an icy blast that shot down the stairs like a bolt from Bianca, whipping the snow up into miniature whirlwinds and sending Hawke's hair into her face. Her eyes now hidden, she shivered against the cold and drew her cloak closer to her. The snow was increasing in intensity, drifting against the walls, steps and statues of Kirkwall and making the City of Chains look almost pretty. But Fenris's eyes never left the woman in front of him.
"You know, Fenris, if you would prefer to be with Isabela, I would give you my blessing."
He blinked at her, utterly knocked sideways by what she had just said. Isabela? She thought he wanted that pirate harlot? Even though he had quite obviously been trying to lose her attention that night in the tavern; even though he spent most of his time fending off her advances and tell her politely that she was barking up the wrong tree? Did she really, truly think that he would go for a woman who's only want was to add him to her extensive list of conquests? It hit him like a charging bronto. She did. In this strange state of mind, where doubt and defeat and loneliness ruled, her thoughts had been warped. And he was partly to blame. That one night of passion followed by what? Pretending it never happened. Reading lessons, dinners at her estate with her mother and polite conversation. They had only ever spoken of it once, and only once. She had told him that her feelings hadn't changed, and if he was true to himself then neither had his. It was his own stupid fear that stopped him going back to her.
Fear of what had come back to him that night, fear that Danarius might get word that he was involved with a woman and paint a target on her back. Fear that one day she might take back those three little words that never left his head. All he could say to her was a dumb "I'm sorry?"
She frowned, not liking at having to repeat what caused her discomfort in the first place. "I said that if you-"
"I heard what you said, Hawke. I just don't understand why you said it."
"But…It's obvious that you like her, and she most certainly likes you. And we…Anyway, if she's what you want -"
"I don't want Isabela, Hawke."
She looked down at her hands, watching her gloved fingers as she knotted them together. Fenris followed the movement, watching her for a moment before stilling her fingers with his own. Heaving a heavy sigh, he lifted one hand to run a thumb across the apple of her cheek, the point of his gauntlet gently brushing the skin as she leaned into his palm as if on instinct. Even this little thing seemed to make her lift slightly, seemed to make those shadows under her eyes less dark.
"There's only one person I want, and it's not Isabela."
"Oh?" She breathed out a laugh, that old familiar spark of mischief back in her eyes after what seemed for an eternity of absence. "And who might that be?"
Her answer was his lips on hers so suddenly that she gasped in surprise, an opportunity for him to deepen the kiss, his fingers sliding around to tangle in her hair. And when she responded in kind, he pulled her close. It wasn't long, but it felt like forever and left them both breathless.
Foreheads together, Hawke was vaguely aware of the Chantry bells sounding midnight high over Kirkwall and she smiled through panted breaths. "First Day, Fenris. Happy new year."
"Happy new year, Hawke."

Proposals published today by the Government's Sentencing Advisory Panel state that custody should only be used when it is "unavoidable" - even if orders are breached repeatedly.
It says that young offenders should first be considered for community sentence or a fine, partly because of legislation stating that the courts must pay regard to juveniles' welfare when passing sentence.
In further advice, it also says that, in the few cases where detention is necessary, it should usually be from four months to no more than 12 months - only half the maximum allowed under the law. The recommendations-will raise new questions about the effectiveness of Asbos, the Government's flagship scheme for tackling anti-social behaviour.
Ministers insist that Asbos, which can be used to ban troublemakers from particular areas or engaging in specific activities, are an effective way of protecting the public in spite of figures showing that more than half of the orders are breached.
It is a criminal offence to breach an Asbo, carrying a maximum five years in jail for adults and two years for juveniles.
The Sentencing Advisory Panel, however, tells the courts that young offenders, aged 18, should generally be let off. Custody should only be considered where the breach of the Asbo has caused "serious harassment, distress or alarm" - a stricter definition than is applied to adults - or if there has been a succession of lesser breaches.
Even then, it says, imprisonment should not be automatic. "The younger the offender, the more likely that perseverance with community orders will be more effective than detention in preventing reoffending," the panel adds.
Shadow home secretary David Davis today said: "The public will be dismayed that breaches of Asbos - the Government's flagship measure to tackle anti-social behaviour - could be treated so lightly, particularly over a 50 per cent drop in the maximum custodial sentence."
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur today praised those who lost their lives standing up to yobs.
He said: "These people are very brave and have given their lives for the safety of their neighbourhoods and their communities."
Today's controversy comes in the wake of rows about alcohol-fuelled violence and yob culture sparked by the mob killing of Cheshire father Garry Newlove. Four teenagers have now been charged with his murder.
Cheshire chief constable Peter Fahy later fuelled a national debate by calling for a ban on drinking in the street and an increase in the legal drinking age to 21.Reuse content

Job Agency Moves From Bronson to Chiefland
Workforce Connection is packing up and moving from Bronson to Chiefland, and one business owner is hopeful the agency will help applicants get the jobs that are already there.
Kenny Simple is the owner of Green South Equipment, a farm equipment company in Chiefland, and he says his business has had open jobs for three years. Gainesville and Ocala may have better employment statistics, but Kenny Simple says Chiefland is not short on jobs.
Laura Byrnes from Workforce Connection says Levy County is "in sharp contrast to, say, Gainesville, which has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state and is one of the fastest job-growth areas in the state."
Again, Kenny Simple says jobs are not Chiefland's problem: "There's more people seeking jobs but the quality of people that we're looking for doesn't seem to be there. As far as the one's that have good jobs, they're still there. Right now we're looking for more qualified help than what's available to us."
Most people that apply for jobs with Simple's company have too little experience, he says. However, he's hopeful Workforce Connection's new campus in Chiefland will equip more prospective employees with the discipline, work ethic and training they need for him to give them a chance.

More about Kidscan
This year in the UK around 1,600 children will be diagnosed with cancer.
Unfortunately 1 in 5 will not survive. Those that do can be left with physical development problems and severe emotional issues as a result of their treatment. This is why Kidscan Children's Cancer Research exist; this is why your support is so vital. Survival rates for childhood cancer are improving but treatments for children are still inadequate. They often act as sledgehammers on young bodies, beating cancer, but also beating the life out of the young person at the same time. As a result, current cancer treatments solve and create problems at the same time.
It can take years for some of the after effects to make themselves known. We don't want children to spend a lifetime looking over their shoulder, wondering when their next health crisis will arise.
All the money raised for this event will used to fund research into childhood cancer, for more information about our work please click here

Badly needed services for our combat wounded and their families.
Previous Stories
It is an honor to be a part of this organization. Steve Newton and his wife work tirelessly on behalf of our wounded and vulnerable Veterans. I hope to do more this coming year to support their efforts.
Silver star families helped my brother when he was injured. Afterwards, I joined to help.
I found Silver Star Families by accident and am so glad that I did. What they do for our sick, ill, and wounded people of uniform is just stupendous. I have done some volunteer work with the organization and can attest that they support the people that need it most in every facet they can to their fullest abilities with obvious Love, Care, and Concern! Everyone needs to support them in their endeavors to save and enhance lives of those who sacrificed for all of us.
I personally know the founder of SSFOA, he is a great person and is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. Please support the Silver Star Families of America, they are the best nonprofit I know.
I appreciate this opportunity to write a review for Silver Star Families of America. I was made aware of SSFOA by a former Navy friend. After checking out their site, I called them and became a volunteer becoming the Maryland/DC Representative. This has been a most rewarding adventure for both myself and my husband. We have had the opportunity to assist in creating SSFOA's Headqarters Building in MO, place wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown, and represent SSFOA on Veterans Day at Arlington Cemetery. Additionly, we work with staff at the Veterans Hospital (Old Soldiers Home) in DC, presenting a program each quarter. Our group of card creaters do cards each quarter for the VA hospitals. We do fund raisers and other activities to raise funds for SSFOA. This is just a tiny portion of the wonderful work SSFOA does nationwide for our veterans. I have been fortunate to become a member of the Board and now hold the position of Vice President. I strongly recommend you check out the SSFOA site at: silverstarfamilies.org where you will find additional information and see photos of our wonderful veterans receiving banners and citations for their service. Hopefully, you will want to become involved with a donation of funds or your time to honor our kids, as we lovingly call them.
Thank you for your time. Margie Harich, MD/DC

Thank you for allowing me to review Silver Star Families of America. My name is Margie Harich and I am now a Board of Directors member. I first became acquainted with SSFOA when a retired Navy nurse felt it was a most valid charity and I might find it interesting. Well, that was an understatement. I contacted the Founders, Diana and Steve Newton, who were delighted to bring another member on board. Shortly thereafter, I became the Maryland/DC Representative. It has been a beautiful adventure. Just to name a few things my husband, Marvin, and I have had the priviledge of doing. We have, with pride, presented Silver Star Service Banners and Citations to many honorable and most deserving veterans. It was our pleasure, and with lots of sweat equity, we helped renovate the Headquarters Building in Missouri for offices and public/private interviews. We have handled charitable functions and met wonderful individuals, some famous in their respective fields. We have cried, laughed, and been awed by our couregous veterans. We have done fund raisers and met with other organizations to share our fund raising ideas. So, it is with continued respect and pride I give this five star rating to one of the most deserving charities in the nation.
I volunteer for The Silver Star Families of America by making and sending out cards to our veterans, mostly to Vet homes or hospitals, it is really nice to get word back that you made someone smile. Great Group that really is dedicated to our countries veterans, honoring and helping them where they can!

I never did serve our country in the military, however I do have many friends who have. I am recently retired (2 1/2 years ago) after spending over 33 years in Law Enforcement as a Patrol Deputy and Patrol Supervisor. During my service our agency has had members injured in the line of duty as well as killed in the line of duty. I am so aware of the pain and suffering the family members, as well as those who have been injured serving the public, go through. I am a major supporter of our military and any organization that gives of their time to help those wounded warriors and their families who have been severely injured while serving in our military. I recently came across "The Silver Star Families of America" through a friend who asked me to volunteer by sending money and spending some time making cards for our wonderful veterans. I strongly urge anyone, who wants to help out to donate some time and money, if they can, with the this wonderful organization, to honor those who have served and given their all for our protection and let them know they are not forgotten and are loved and appreciated.
Great Organization.. Highly recommend it to anybody that is looking to volunteer and help out our Military wounded and Ill and Dying..
As a volunteer with Silver Star Families of America, I have found them to be very helpful in assisting me when I need advice or help with an issue. They are a very sincere friendly group of people, and they have come a long way. Successfully bringing back May 1 as a traditional day of recognition for our wounded and sick veterans. This has been a remarkable achievement, and I am proud of being part of this endeavor. The Silver Star Flag, which is the official flag for our wounded and sick veterans, can now be seen flying across our nation. This charity provides meal cards and items for 'stand downs.' Any veteran can and does, when made known, the honor of receiving the Silver Star flag. This charity is recognised throughout the United States for its compassionate concern for our veterans of all wars.
Silver Star Families of America is a wonderful organization. My first project was to send cards to veterans who were hospitalized. The second project was sending cards at different holidays to military personnel whether Iraq or Afghanistan, or on a aircraft carrier. As the daughter of a career Army officer, it's important to show how much they are appreciated. Their honor, commitment and courage are recognized by this Patriot. I highly recommend Silver Star Families of America! Submitted by: Carol McGuinn email: email@example.com

2000 Buick LeSabre - Consumer Review

Electric Windows
By Ron Dee on
Vehicle2000 Buick LeSabre Custom 4dr Sedan
ReviewMy wife and I love the car for
travelling, long distance and around
town. The major flaw has been the high
failure rate of the window's raise/lower
assembly. In less than four years, all
four windows have failed/broken at least
twice and some three times. We have
reached a point of being afraid of
lowering any window for fear it won't
raise. The most recent failure happened
last week to my wife. She decided to try
lowering the rear left window since the
inside of the car was so hot from the
desert sun. Bad move. Down once and it
wouldn't raise. The little flip of the
switch cost me $492 and change.
Best FeaturesI like the space inside the car as well as the trunk space. The ride is very comfortable and driving long distances is no problem.
Worst FeaturesThe electric windows need something changed but I don't know what. The high failure rate that I have had points to to reviewing what failed and why.

4 Creative Outfits That'll Turn On Your Man
While some dudes love it when women wear some of the kinkiest garb out there (think: lingerie, collars and corsets) others are just as turned on by simple and easy articles of clothing. What she might call casual, he might deem sexy as hell, and we're here to clue you ladies in.
Get ready to rock his socks! (Literally!)
His Boxers: There's just something so sexy about a girl wearing her guy's boxers. They hang off of hips in a suggestive way and can look cute despite what may or may not have gown down in those shorts earlier that day. No matter how you cut, it's definitely an unorthodox winner.
Flannel PJs: On the surface this may not seem like such a turn-on. Who would want to see a chick fully covered in warm fabric? Alas, you're not thinking ahead. It's the strip tease that comes along with removing these flannel bits that makes them so sexy. Everyone loves a slow strip, and the more layers there are to peel off, the more likely the dude is to get deep in the mood.
Button-down Shirt: You've seen this in the movies but believe it or not, a classic button-down shirt is a quick way to get a dude going. Why? Perhaps it's the whole strip tease thing, or maybe it's because he's wondering what's going on underneath that shirt, but either way, wearing your man's dress shirt is a quick way to send the bat-signal that you're in the mood for some sexy time.
Nothing: Duh. While wearing nothing may take the fun out of the game, there's nothing wrong with getting down and direct to the point!
