A knitting enthusiast from London has been accused of breaching copyright after selling her homemade poppies online.
In order to mark Remembrance Day, Phyllis Ramage, from Edgware, chose to handknit red poppies for this month's appeal, raising money for the Royal British Legion (RBL).
However, she has chosen not to repeat her efforts next year, according to the Edgware and Mill Hill Times, after being told she had infringed the charity's copyright or trademark.
The 44-year-old told the newspaper: "I decided to raise money for RBL because my husband's parents were both in World War Two. But also, I really don't think there's enough support for veterans when they return from war."
She designed a pattern and decided to sell the poppies online on eBay, giving 100 per cent of the proceeds to RBL.
These included classic red woollen ones and silver flowers, which altogether raised a total of £160 for charity.
But, after transferring the money direct to RBL's bank account, the lecturer received an email from the online auction site saying the charity had reported her for breaching their copyright.
Ms Ramage told the newspaper: "I was wounded and insulted. It wasn't even the fact they said I was in breach of the copyright, there was no expression of gratitude for the money I'd raised - that's what hurt me the most."
She has since argued that this event has put her off doing anything specifically for RBL, although she still plans to make annual donations.
"I'm going to focus on another charity instead," she added, "I've thought about maybe knitting hats for premature babies or fishermen".
In response to this confusion, an RBL spokeswoman emphasised to the publication that the charity was "very grateful for all fundraising". However, they ask "anyone wishing to use our trusted poppy logo to seek permission from us first".
She also described how it was standard practice to monitor activities and challenge unauthorised products.

Many home–based business owners are under a mistaken belief that their existing insurance policies automatically protect their businesses. Often this is not the case. Instead of assuming you have the right coverage, meet with an insurance broker to evaluate your newfound business needs.
Here are the major types of coverage that the home–based businessperson should consider and discuss with his or her broker:
This protects the home and your personal property and possessions from damage due to fire, theft, flood and vandalism. You also may want to consider additional coverage beyond the basic homeowner policy for your computer — software, hardware and data.
Since an existing policy may not cover business related problems, you should consider getting an automobile business policy. This covers property in the car or claims and losses that result from business use of a vehicle.
Check out COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985.) This law allows you to continue your previous employer–sponsored group medical insurance, dental and prescription drug coverage on an individual basis after you leave your job. Another way to lower your health care costs is simply by shopping around.
You should seriously consider obtaining business insurance that covers damage or loss to business equipment in the home office. You can also obtain more extensive coverage for damage or loss to business inventory and equipment, including loss of earning, and errors and omissions.
CGL insurance can be critical to your financial health. It does two things. First, it covers you for personal injury damage suffered by visitors to your property for business purposes, i.e., they trip and break their leg going up the stairs to your house. Secondly, should you get sued, it is supposed to cover the cost of your legal defense.
This covers losses from an inability to conduct business due to fire, flood or disaster.
Used by professionals such as doctors and lawyers to cover for damage resulting from substandard work. This can also include errors and omissions and product liability insurance.
If you are going to have employees, you are likely required by your state to carry workers' compensation insurance for work–related injuries to employees.
Easy to overlook, disability insurance is very important to the home–based entrepreneur. It covers you when you can't work because you are disabled due to injury.
Why are you going into business for yourself? I bet one reason is because you want to provide a better life for your spouse and children. Well, what happens to that dream if you die? The dream will likely die too. Life insurance keeps the dream alive.

Great views and facilities Parking on the higher levels was annoying
I stay at Hyatt Trinidad very often and from the first time til now, the service went from great to the best ever in Trinidad. At Hyatt Trinidad you get the best service from entrance, then you check in and the staff behind the counters are perfect. So, from the bell boys at the front to the check in staff and the house keepers, one word, AMAZING! This time around, I got the best service ever from Triciah. She was beyond perfect and should be awarded "Employee of the Year". She assisted us from check in to getting to our room. I also had a housekeeper who I swear was my own personally. Wish I had her name because she too deserves to be highlighted. The staff at the buffet deserved all my change for tips. I never received such over the top customer service Trinidad. When I'm at Hyatt Trinidad, I am welcomed with the greatest warmth ever. I wish Hyatt Trinidad would go around the island and teach other businesses what customer service is truly about. Absolutely nothing
Love the view from my room..staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool area needed cleaning...went to the restaurant about 12:30 pm to get something to eat and there was no one there to help us only a chef and she was clueless. ..she went to the kitchen or wherever to get a server...we waited for about 20 minutes then left because she never came back...
The entire staff are some of the friendliest, most helpful people you'd want to meet. Always service with a smile and give great advice on places to visit and things to do; as well as give great directions. The place felt clean, safe and comfy. You'll love it!! Unfortunately this isn't the beachfront style property we're used to on vacation. But it was close to just about everything else you could want to see and do. Plenty of historic sight-seeing (although many currently going through renovations), zoo and botanical garden nearby, short drive to downtown, malls and a strip of restaurants and bars. Plus an adventurous drive through the mountains to spectacular Maracas Beach.
I also made a booking with Kayak, front desk staff couldn't find the reservation..said I didn't have one. I showed my paid confirmation email, and forwarded it to the staff...and they still charged me for the room! Twice... Now I'm filing a request for reimbursement with my credit card company... What a hassle! Would've stayed elsewhere if I knew it would be so complicated for them!
I was only at the Kapok for one nite and booked last minute and I couldn't have had a better experience at Kapok. When I arrived, they were warm and welcoming and gave me a complimentary upgrade to a King-sized bed. I slept diagonally and like a baby. the next morning I had a meeting at noon and they happily gave me an xtra hour so I could take my meeting in private and then check out at 1. there was also Kava restaurant in the lobby which is a cool little place. it is also located very close to the Savannah and a strip mall area with many shops. highly recommended. wish I could have stayed longer!
Stay at Kspok was a breeze. From check in to checkout was seamless. Staff was very helpful and professional. Access to recreation and urban areas ideal. Only drawback, isles were a little narrow.
In early February 2012, I had the opportunity to visit Trinidad for the first time. I decided on this hotel because of the favorable reviews on this site, as well as others. I truly enjoyed my stay, and if I'm blessed to return, I will stay at the Marriott again. By the way, the hotel is across from the stadium; therefore, it could be a little noisy. However, I did not mine the noise. I was just glad to be there.
The hotel was very clean, staff was very friend and made sure all of our needs were met & the hotel is convienetly located right next to a plaza with a shopping mall, many american favorites such as cold stone, starbucks, ruby tuesdays, a movie theater, popeyes, burger king.
Good common spaces, ie, court yard, lounge area I wish it had a complimentary breakfast. Also, it would be nice if the complimentary coffee was available after 6 am.

totaltip can exist independently in each function. If the & is not used, the argument is passed by value. What that means is that the function tipcalc() would receive a copy of whatever value the variable had prior to the function call. So even though the variable has the same name, it is a completely separate object which has its own independent existence.

The priest may be obliged to administer baptism, to hear confession, to give the viaticum and Extreme Unction.
For it was just about this time that the viaticum must have been administered to his father.
What a viaticum was that communion then received by thy doomed priest!
Having inquired into my resources, he said, "You must take the viaticum."
At eleven o'clock in the evening, they brought the viaticum to Doa Gertrudis with all the ceremony required by such a solemn act.
It is Wallenstein's chance now, and for me nothing but the priest's viaticum.
This he was able to do, and she declared that she would keep it to be her viaticum when the time of her release should come.
It is my fathers last gift to me and is all my viaticum as well!
A copper coin was placed in the mouth as a viaticum, and a fowl killed and laid on the body, which was again interred.
The Bourse of Alger spent from 600 to 700 francs a year on the service of viaticum.
1560s, from Latin viaticum "travelling money; provision for a journey," from via "way" (see via).

IF you think dinosaurs are extinct then it's time to think again.
Lurking in a classroom at Queens Park Academy exists a range of creatures too realistic to be models.
From triceratops and tyrannosaurus rex to brachiosaurus and pterodactyl, the collection is the frightening result of a Year 3 project.
When teachers Lauren Dean, Rachael Woodward, Laura Harrison and Jane Wilson asked their pupils to create a dinosaur during the half term break, nothing could have prepared them for what was to arrive at school for the new half term.
Takisha McDonagh and her mummy staggered down the road with the biggest of the bunch, their own creation, while Thomas Lewis's pterodactyl looks as if it could have flown to school on its own.
The rest of the year group appeared with a terrifying array of creatures to scare their teachers.
If it wasn't for Tia Fallon's glittery monster and Ana Luisa's cuddly pink dinosaur you could be forgiven for thinking they had come back to life.
Executive head teacher Brian Hooper said the work was part of the International Primary Curriculum, which encourages creativity.
Year 3 head Lauren Dean said: "It was a homework task and we told them they could create their dinosaurs however they liked.
"All the dinosaurs are amazing and they were really excited to see each other's work."
Zanjabila Amiri said her creation took most of the holiday and Courtney Sammon told how her triceratops was made from papier mache.

With Over Six Decades In Professional Baseball, Don Zimmer Qualifies As A Great Ambassador For The Game
There aren't many people on the planet that can say they've been in professional baseball from the time of the Brooklyn (yes, Brooklyn!) Dodgers to present day.
Don Zimmer was one guy would could say that. Don passed away June 4th at the age of 83.
Don broke into Major League baseball as a player in 1954 with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and in a career that spanned over six decades, he truly was a man who 'did it all'. Player. Manager. Coach. Scout. You name it, if it had to do with baseball, Don Zimmer did it. He probably sold beer and hot dogs too.
Being a true baseball fan at heart, i felt a sense of personal loss when I heard Don had passed away, even though I never had the pleasure of meeting or speaking to the man.
Don's name will perhaps never been mentioned in the same breath with icon's of the game like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. He had no where near the numbers or fame those great ballplayers had.
But that doesn't mean Don wasn't just as important to the game.
In this 1999 video, then interim Yankee Manager Zimmer talks with David Letterman.
Don is somewhere up in that big ballpark in the sky now. R.I.P. And argue that call at home plate!

To many Sixers fans, Allen Iverson was a legit superstar. A guy completely worth of the max deal the Sixers signed him to. Meanwhile, those same fans argue that Andre Iguodala is a second-banana at best. A guy who is overpaid, impossible to trade, and clogging the way for Thaddeus Young. Let's take a closer look at this logic after the jump.
I'm not going to build suspense, I'm just going to come right out and say it. Andre Iguodala has been a better player over the first five years of his career than Allen Iverson was. You can take a look at the comps for yourself.
Iguodala and Iverson came to the team under opposite circumstance. Iverson was the #1 overall pick and the man in Philly from day one. Iguodala was at best the team's 3rd option on offense for his first 2-and-a-half seasons in Philly, an afterthough. It wasn't until midway through his third season that he ascended to the role of the team's best player. Even with that handicap, Iguodala accumulated more win shares than Iverson over the first five seasons of his career (40.4 for Iguodala, 39.1 for Iverson).
I'm not an Iverson hater. I loved the guy when he was here, and I truly believe no other player in the league could've taken that 2001 team to the Finals. He was, and really still is, a unique talent in this league. By no means am I making a case that Iverson was overrated, or didn't deserve his contract. What I'm saying is that Iguodala is better. He's a better overall player than Iverson ever was and he's a much, much better building block to get the Sixers to championship contention than Iverson ever was.
For his career, Iguodala averages 1.35 points-per-shot, Iverson was at 1.20 over the same stretch. He's a player who produces without needing to jack up 20 shots per game. He's a player who thrives on making the players around him better on the offensive end and picks up the slack for his teammates on defense.
Most importantly, building around a guy like Iguodala makes it easier to develop other players. His overall skill not only makes them better, but his efficiency on offense allows them ample opportunities to contribute and grow. If Thad Young and Marreese Speights had joined the Iverson-era Sixers they wouldn't have even sniffed the moderate success they've enjoyed early in their careers. Larry Brown built a team of quality role players who could fit around Iverson to get that team to the finals. This Sixers team has the luxury of adding the best pieces possible because Iguodala acts like glue, molding his game to theirs.
Andre Iguodala is a budding superstar who can play with anyone. He's produced more wins over the first five years of his career than Iverson did, and he's being paid a fair amount for the production he's brought. If Ed Stefanski decided he wanted to move Iguodala today, his phone would be ringing off the hook tomorrow. I'm human, I still have fond memories of seeing Iverson drop 50 without breaking a sweat, but if you think these Sixers are boring, or middling, or mired in some kind of rut because they have a guy like Iguodala as their centerpiece instead of a guy like Iverson, you're mistaken. I expect Thad, Speights, Jrue and maybe even Lou to continue to progress, and the biggest reason for that is their emerging leader, Andre Iguodala and his unselfish game.

The New York State Regents voted unanimously yesterday to allow the City University of New York to continue to use a disputed, tougher admissions policy for its bachelor's degree programs. Critics had predicted that enrollments would drop as much as half under the restrictive policy, and that black and Hispanic students would be barred disproportionately, but the State Education Department said that the impact so far had been small. The Regents called for CUNY and the Education Department to continue to monitor the policy's impact, including the question of who is being kept out of the four-year programs. Karen W.

S.C.O.P.E. Pending Legislation
The proposal would ban the sale or possession of all rifles of .50 caliber or larger. The particular target of this legislation is the .50 Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG) cartridge as used in a number of bolt action and semi automatic target rifles. The proposal is based on the premise that rifles of this caliber or larger are intended for military purposes only and have no legitimate civilian or sporting purpose. Moreover, it is contended that these rifles are potential weapons of choice for violent criminals, international and domestic terrorists, militias, and cults.
>>>>>>>Read all the detail in the PDF File
The proposed legislation attempts to demonize a particular group of rifles based on their physical characteristics. Using claims that range from exaggeration to being demonstrably false, these rifles are falsely represented as a threat to public safety if not national security.
This is a case of attempting to create a problem where none exists. We are convinced that if this legislation is enacted, the sponsors will be back next session using the same arguments against another long-range cartridge. This is a campaign against a skill as well as against a rifle.
The FCSA and its members have provided the country with a valuable service in the development and refinement of the .50 BMG cartridge for long-range precision shooting. When the military needed it, it was ready, along with the knowledge base to insure effective implementation. They deserve a commendation, not condemnation.
This legislation should not be enacted.

MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA 12 February 2007 – The All Ordinaries index continued to close in on the new target of 6,000 points. On Friday the index closed at 5,899.30, a gain for the week of 1.5%. It was ably assisted by the performance of BHP Billiton, which gained by 5.5% following the release of its results last week, with most of that gain occurring on Wednesday.
Fellow resources giant Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) didn't fare so well, dropping by 2.2% for the week. The BHP Billiton (ASX: BHP) talk started the gossip mill, and there were suggestions that BHP would be on the acquisition trail, with Rio Tinto even being touted as a potential target.
Is this likely, or are we being swept up in resources bubble euphoria? It would be a big acquisition for anyone, but like any resources company, BHP is only as good as the resources it has and its probable resources still under exploration.
The law of large numbers tells us that if a company wants to continue to grow then one – or all – of three things has to happen. It needs to make a big, big acquisition in order to increase it's reserves. Or it needs to discover a resource that will produce a big, big return. Or – as has happened in recent years – the price of the commodities it is producing needs to go through the roof.
BHP is spending $10 billion on buying back its own stock, which most likely reduces the chances of a takeover bid in the near term until the company can build up more cash. Unless of course it chooses to back it with debt. Another option not to be discounted involves the possibility of direct private equity investment.
Perhaps we are being guilty of stoking the private equity fire here, but with the comparative illiquidity in the Australian share market, chances are that private equity and their financiers – Super Funds? – could look more closely at alternative unlisted investments rather than continuing to pump funds into just the top twenty or so stocks listed on the ASX.
It could make a lot of sense for private equity and Super Funds to co-own an investment with a resources company of the stature of BHP or Rio as an alternative to investing in some of the smaller resources companies that may have less management experience.
In return, BHP for example would most likely have majority control, and would operate the facility, yet it would only have to fund half of the costs, the remainder being borne by the private equity fund. Further, this move would enable a company such as BHP to diversify its portfolio into other assets.
We mention this after seeing the report in the Australian Financial Review at the weekend under the heading "MacBank Rides The Bull." The suggestion is that following a couple of years of diminishing management fees from its listed infrastructure funds, Macquarie Bank (ASX: MBL) is gearing up to exploit the unlisted sector.
Previously Macquarie would leverage up and buy a big infrastructure asset or assets, create a listed fund to drop it into and then proceed to charge fees through the nose for the privilege of managing the investment. These funds were then sold directly to retail investors and promoted by financial planners. Like most listed investments, institutions – such as Super Funds – were interested in taking a stake due to supposed "reliable income streams." Although we think it might be worth asking the investors in Sydney's Cross City Tunnel whether that has produced a reliable income stream.
Realising that the average investor has gone cold on the "Macquarie Formula", the bank has had to dream up a new way of doing business. Now it would seem Macquarie has decided that it would be much easier to buy these assets completely with the help of institutions. This way it doesn't have to concern itself with mass marketing campaigns; by virtue of compulsory superannuation, most Australian investors will have a stake in them anyway!

Sitting for supper was delightful for me and tantalizing I hoped for the three others. With my dress worn sideways, everything from my left tit outwards fell bare. I should have put on only the right silver stocking, for the dress fell clear of my left leg. Whenever I raised my left arm to pass food guess what curved object made a brief appearance.
* * * * * * *
A terrible snow storm hit our area just as the holiday was about to begin. By noon of New Year's eve roads were still closed and we knew there would be no hope of reaching the cottage in time for celebrations. Jack and I discussed dropping the 'house rules' for the occasion and having the party at our place. Within moments of our decision I was on the phone to tell Judy of the new plans, that they would stay overnight, and could I borrow her lacy nipple rings.
They arrived about five o'clock, bundled up in parkas and heavy boots so I hustled Jude upstairs to get her into some decent clothes. Her party outfit was a dress made of very open white lace which fell open from the bust to the knee length hem. To cover her tits she had added one of her size 36 halter top designs in sheer white. I applied a rosy contour of breast makeup to her, noted that her aureole were developing a nice pout, and I told her how lovely it looked.
"Yeah, not bad Nance, but I took my brown rings off just before we left home. I sorta feel like Cinderella -- these shapes will be gone by midnight. Oh, here let me get your black ones out of my purse, both pair are in the same case."
"Thanks. Well, why not wear your brown ones right up until you feel like having your tits sucked. I mean, the idea of them being matte brown was so you could wear them under a blouse."
"But this top is so sheer. I never intended to wear these rings for show."
"Well, let's try them and see. I'll leave my gold ones with the diamonds in the guest room and you can always switch to them later in the evening." The brown rings went on, looked very good, and the pretty bump helped to fill the loose halter top just the right amount as the white was not as mysterious as black.
I was amazed at how quickly Judy could put the cup shaped rings on herself now. She had made a little hook from an old set of hanging earrings and fastened it to a thin handle. She just popped the hook through a nipple hole, slid the ring down the handle and pulled her titlet through until she could push the locking pin in beside the hook. With the hook removed, the job was done. Sometimes new gadgets are faster but not as much fun as the old way.
Very long gold earrings, russet lipstick with golden flecks, white seamed thigh highs, and our high heeled white lace granny boots completed her outfit. I told her how great she looked and leaned between her legs, french kissing her delicate smooth crack to prove my point.
My own New Year's gown was very simple. Sheer white material with a bit of lace at the ankle length hem, folded over for three inches around the top where it fit firmly under my arms, shoulders bare. It was open the full length from top to bottom, and was held together with a tiny silver clasp. I could wear it completely open down one side (as I would start the evening) or turn it to be open down the front. It just flowed over my body.
Judy applied shaded deep pink to rosy contours on the underside of each breast and as she worked I asked how she felt about her upcoming operations.
"Oh, it just can't happen soon enough. I was even thinking about bending my pinkies over and gluing them down with Crazy glue for tonight."
"That's a cute idea, want me to get some"
"No thanks, I realized that no matter how awkward they look, the excitement of seeing them gone will be even higher if I just let them stick out for now. See, I even put silver polish on them just like the rest."
Changing the subject as she put the bits of silver lace on my nipples, I said "Uh, how about after your last pinky is gone we let our hair grow until spring, then we can start all over"
"Yeah, sure. That'll be fun - doin' it from the start again."
"Ah, well for you maybe. I want to experiencing clipping and shaving my hair for the first time, remember. I don't want to go through again what I did to be bald the first time."
"Sorry, you're right. Let's do it."
I had bought white patent 5" heels with silver lace at the toes and heel just like the black ones I already had, and with silver thigh highs, long silver earrings and a bit of red lipstick I was ready.
We made the grand entrance to find our mates in white tuxedoes this evening, red cummerbunds and bow ties. White patent slip ons were a beautiful touch, and those super looking thin white tuxedo socks. The rental place had done their job perfectly.
As we sat down to supper Bob raised his wine glass in a toast. "A wonderful New Year for everyone, and to the success of Judy's upcoming adventure. She will never be more lovely than she is tonight, but may she have even more happiness after next week." We clinked glasses and cheered her on.
Sitting for supper was delightful for me and tantalizing I hoped for the three others. With my dress worn sideways, everything from my left tit outwards fell bare. I should have put on only the right silver stocking, for the dress fell clear of my left leg. Whenever I raised my left arm to pass food guess what curved object made a brief appearance.
Everyone helped clear up dishes. Jack put on some nice dance music and Bob poured ice cold daiquiris. We settled in for a pleasant wait for midnight. That is until Judy and Bob had finished a dance where she had followed his lead by his pressure against her pelvis. She sat him down on the floor, then sidled up on his lap, face to face. With her dress folded up over his belt she took his cock out and sat herself down on it, and snuggled in for a tight fit.
"My, my, I said to Jack, that looks really interesting. Let's try that."
I needn't have said anything, for he was already settling himself onto the floor and beckoning to me. As couples we sat that way for some time, rocking to the gentle music, talking back and forth, and generally making ourselves more excited. Perhaps twenty minutes later I felt that particular sensation inside of me that meant Jack was on the edge of coming. I stood up and lead him to our bedroom.
Sometimes the sex the four of us share is torrid, or even exotic. Sometimes the sex at home is the same. Most times though we have what some people would call 'plain old fashioned' sex. The special weekends at the cottage are intended for the exotic kind. I have no intention of boring the readers of this journal with all the regular, though deeply loving sex that we share with our mates. This bedroom occasion was one of those. A good time spent testing the mattress and durability of my husband, thoroughly satisfying, and with a great climax.
Returning to the living room as midnight approached, I had turned my dress so the opening was down the front. We poured Champaign in readiness for the turn of the year, and talked about good times at the cottage during the past year. At last the ball fell in Times Square and we toasted the incoming year. That led to kissing all around, up and down. I thought this was a bit unfair, so I unzipped Jack pants, bared his head and gave him a kiss there too. Next, I did the same thing for Bob while Judy kissed Jack a happy sex filled New Year. The words 'blow job' hit my brain, and I was on my knees in a flash working on Jack. A glance to my right. Judy was already nibbling on Bob's knob. Had she sent me a message I was busy now, I'd ask later.
Jack stroked my bald head, and I thought I would come just from the excitement of the moment, but I teased and teased his rod and sucked on it to get more of his pre-cum juice. Across the room, Bob gasped and I looked in time to see Judy gulp. No more fooling around now. Quickly I brought Jack to climax and he laid a thick coating of come all over my tongue.
"Happy New Year!" Judy and I shouted when we stood.
Judy took me to the kitchen to make Screwdrivers while the men retired to the bathroom for cleanup. "I love orange juice right after doing that," she said.
"Did you send me a message just before you went on your knees in there"
"Oh sure! And you obviously got it."
"Yeah, in more ways than one."
Returning to the living room Judy and I cuddled and fondled until we had the men in an aroused state again from watching us, then offered ourselves to them for the first fuck of the year. The matter was consummated right there on the living room floor. Thank god for my open front gown, I hate rug burns. It was our first group sex in some time, and I felt Judy's hand grope for mine. Soon her pinkies would be gone and I could touch twinky end to twinky end with her. I came then.
While shaving in the morning, Judy told me she had brought her little V bottomed bathing suit. She felt neither of us had had much use from our ultra skimpy suits yet. Would I like to trade and wear them this morning
Because mine was so critically fit it was a bit loose on the bottom of Jude's twat. I had to pull the straps up firmly and sort of 'squidgy' the cup around for a better fit. Other than that there were no problems. Of course, there wasn't much else to do. She put on the plastic sided shoes with the red front and heel and I put on the highest black patents I had in the closet. My new red enameled nipple rings were finished and I had picked them up, so I wouldn't have to use nail polish on my titlets any more, and since they would fit her perfectly, even help strengthen her shape, I put them on her. Then the black ones for myself.
Judy's bottom was such a pleasure to wear and was just as skimpy as my own. The deep V did let me brush a finger nail over my lips from time to time and that always felt good.
We entered the kitchen to prepare some breakfast and when the guys joined us.... Well, they joined us alright. Deeply right into us. We've got to learn to stop wearing these outfits in the morning. Too many breakfasts are being ruined.
We traded back later and Judy wore hers home under her warm clothes and heavy parka. I think she had plans for another celebration when she got home. Jack and I certainly had another personal celebration after they left
JANUARY 8th Judy was really excited when we arrived at Dr. Johnson's. He detected this right away and gave her a sedative even before she sat back in his chair. He was very firm that he did not want the distraction of my being in the surgery with her, so I sat in the waiting room for an hour and a half. What was taking so long Was something wrong Could I breath now
At last he came into the room and spoke softly to me. "Nancy, the amputation of Judy's little left finger went very well. I think she'll..., both of you in fact, will be very pleased. However Judy was so excited I had to give her a second sedative. She is very woozy right now, and she should rest here for a while. You may go in to see her though."
I walked into the surgery to find Judy slumped in the chair weeping softly.
Oh shit!, I thought, this has all been a mistake.
"Judy darling, I'm so sorry. Was this the wrong thing to do"
"Wrong Oh no! Look," and she plucked the sling back. "Three fingers and an empty space. It's beautiful. No, I'm crying because I was so doped up that I fell asleep and missed the critical moment," she sobbed into my shoulder.
I kissed her repeatedly and tried to console her. When she was feeling a little more 'together' she slipped the first of her rings onto the finger beside her new twinky. I took her home and gave her her first pain pill. I got her into a peignoir, one sleeve on and draped it over the other shoulder, then slipped some nice shoes onto her feet. That always made her feel better. Dressing similarly, we both stretched out on the bed and I caressed her while she suckled on my Twinky 1 until she fell asleep.
In fact, I fell asleep too, and we were both still laying there when Bob came in and gently nudged me awake. "How is she" he whispered. I motioned to the hall and we tip toed out. Too late I realized I did not have a robe and started to pull the peignoir around me.
"Nancy, Bob whispered, this is me. You don't need to cover up."
"This is not the cottage," I reminded him.
"To hell with the rules at this moment. How is Judy"
I shared with him both her pleasure and her sadness, assured him the doctor had said all was well, then tip toed back in to dress and go home. Judy called the next day to thank me and let me know she was feeling fine now. "I've got nothing to do but lay back here and watch TV, read, and admire my hand."
JANUARY 22nd Judy was calmer today. Excited, but calmer. Dr. Johnson even thought it would be a good idea for me to sit in with her this time. "Just don't watch what I'm doing after the antiseptic is on, and keep Judy busy," he instructed me.
Her numb arm doubly strapped in place, her right hand dangling limply over the work space, we turned our heads. "Judy, I whispered into her ear, concentrate on your beautiful blue shoes. Think hard of what you'll wear with them for Bob, and Jack, and me." Then, holding her left hand I started to trace up and down the sides of two fingers with my Twinky 2, finally massaging their V and pressing hard with little wiggles and thrusts during the pause after we heard the doctor cut her cord.
"Mmmmnnnnnnnnuhh, Uhhhuuha, Uhhhuh." deep from Judy's throat. Plop, ping. "Awwmmm."
"Pain Judy" from Dr. Johnson.
"Pain Oh god no doctor. Joy. Ecstasy!"
"Mmm. OK, keep looking away, I'll be a while yet."
I interlocked fingers with Judy, wet between the legs, my clit throbbing to escape its home, our protruding aureole and nipples clearly visible. I noticed her eyes were sparkling. The TV seemed uninteresting but we stared at it, sharing thoughts.
At last the doctor folded her right hand over her left breast and put on the sling. I slid her second lacy ring to its temporary home and kissed her softly on the cheek. Then I willed Judy to look for the little dish as she stood up. She did -- we both did . There it was! A pointed, shiny royal blue nail crowned a slender shaft of severed whitening flesh, a rounded bit of glistening bone peaking from one end.
An audible "Ooooooooooohh!" of awe and pleasure escaped from Judy's lips.
The doctor heard it, and caught us looking. "Does that disturb you Judy"
"No I'm not the least bit disturbed doctor, very much the opposite."
After taking us to the waiting room, he asked Judy to sit for a few minutes, saying he wanted to examine my stumps. However, his first words once we were inside were; "I saw how you massaged Judy's fingers as I completed the amputation. Did she have an orgasm then"
"I believe so doctor."
"That's most interesting. You two have an extremely strong bond don't you"
"Yes we do. I believe I have described to you how we are almost like twins."
"Does she shave her head for you, or is she under some treatment she didn't tell me about"
"She shaved the first time for me, now she does it for herself."
"Uh huh. Do you both sometimes share the same thoughts"
"Fairly often. Not always, but often.
"And if she is ill, are you ill, and vice versa"
"If you mean the flu or something, no. But, every once in a while one of us will get a terrible migraine, and we'll find out the next day the other had it as well."
"Mmmm. And what about your menstrual cycles."
"Well, we weren't the same, and my cancer treatment threw mine all off, but when that was over I started to shift later in the month and she earlier. We're both locked in on about the tenth of the month now."
"Incredible. Nancy, I think there is a possibility of an article for the medical journal here. That is, if you would both be willing to come in for an interview."
"I'll ask her, doctor."
"Oh and before I forget Nancy. I can do some work for you to remove those little scars that remain from your first amputation and round the end of it like the right one, if you'd like."
I told him I would like that, that I would call to set a date, and shook hands with him to go.
As I turned away, he spoke again. "Nancy, I also want to tell you that you now have a most pleasant, delicate, handshake. Thank you for letting me be part of creating that."
I thanked him, and returned to Judy who was concerned that something was wrong. So, I discussed the interview, and gave her all the details. "Any pain" I asked as I took her to the car.
"No, not at all, and I'm so happy inside," she said wiggling three finger tips at me from the end of her sling. "Gloves. Its cold this time of year. What do you do about gloves"
"I poke tissue down into the finger hole to stiffen it up," I told her.
"Nance, were both special now. We should have special custom made gloves just for us. Can we go to The Leather Mansion"
A little uncertain about getting in because we had no appointment, we were told on arrival that Barbara would be available in a few minutes. We spent the time looking at the selection of beautiful garments in the showroom.
"Hi. Judy, what happened to your hand" Barb asked thoughtfully as she came up to us. She was again wearing her white lace up bodice and skirt, with the high white boots.
"Oh, I just finished having it made the same as this one." Judy commented, waving her left hand in front of Barb, the little bandage flashing about.
"You just had..... The same as..... Nancy, your left......" her head swiveling back and forth between Judy and I.
"Not just my left hand Barbara, both of them now," I said with a big smile, and held them out for her to examine, and I hoped admire.
"Oh my! That is sooo beautiful. They are sooo delicate, feminine, and.... exciting. I mean, I'm getting excited down um, oh you know." And as we walked toward the private rooms, "Judy, is it awful to go through. I mean, I can see it would be worth it, but how bad is the pain"
"Oh I'll have a couple of days of nasty pain once the freezing comes out, but I've got pills for it and all, and the rest is umm kind of interesting," and Judy offered her left hand for Barb to inspect.
"Jeez, I can't get over it! Your hand looks slimmer and your fingers... well, they look delightful. And I guess the little left over bandaged bit will look all sexy like Nancy's"
"It's called a Twinky, Barb, and yes they will be all smooth with rounded ends, and I sure hope my husband thinks they are sexy. What we came about, though, is to have some special gloves made, can you do that"
"Of course. We can make anything you want in leather."
"Well, we don't want them to be just like normal gloves with the ends of the little fingers cut off square, and they should be of very thin leather to keep the delicate appearance. What I thought was that the gloves should taper up from the side of the hand right past a twinky to form one sleeve for it and the next finger so they look like three fingered gloves. OK"
"Perfect," Barb assured us and made a little sketch for our approval, then made her usual painstaking measurements of each finger and twinky.
"The right one is still numb, Barb, you don't have to be afraid of hurting me." Judy commented.
We choose black, brown and tan in wrist length, and cream, white, and black in over the elbow style for evening wear.
"How does your husband like your long white leather dress" Barb asked
"Oh, I'd say he was more than delighted," I answered tentatively.
"Long white leather dress You did manage to keep a secret from me! When, why, how, and when do I get to see it" Judy questioned.
"All in good time I answered. I'll tell you all about it when I get you home."
"Now I've got something to show you," Barbara told us.
She quickly unlaced her bodice to present two sapphires, each perched on the end of a nipple. "I saw your rings during one of your visits Nancy, and wanted some for myself. What do you think"
"They are marvelous. May I" as I extended my arm.
I cupped her firm little left breast in my right hand, gently shifting it about to make the light flash off of the stone, my juices starting to flow as my clit stiffened. Each jewel sat in the tiniest of gold crowns that in turn sat over the end of a nipple. Narrow hinged gold strips ran down the sides of each nipple, where I imagine little pins on the end of each strip were embedded into her holes.
"Did you get your nipples pierced at Madison's. I think I saw these in the display case. They are really stunning," I said.
"Yes I heard they had the best selection and made your holes most professionally. The jewels add a bit of length to my tits too."
When we paid our deposit, I noticed that Barb had her pinkies folded back, her palms pressed against the counter, looking closely at her hands as she waited for Judy's charge card to confirm.
"It's getting late Jude," I said as we walked to the car, "how's the pain"
"My hand's almost 'thawed out', I've got feeling in the fingers, but Twinky 2 is just pulsing mildly."
"OK, time to get going and get you a pill and some sleep.
As I undressed Judy, and helped her prepare for bed I told her all about my long embroidered white leather dress, of Jack's swift and hard reaction to it and how he had remembered the night many years ago that I had first worn the five inch high, slashed toe pumps that set my new leather dress of perfectly. I also told her a bit about the torrid sex that followed -- until I saw her cunt start to relax and open slightly. This was not the time to increase that condition. I did, though, describe the black shoes with the tulip designs that I had found stored with the white ones, and promised to give them to her on my next visit.
Bob arrived as I was about to undress and crawl in beside Judy, so I let him take over and left, but when I called the next morning Judy was bright and chipper. She told me she was having almost no pain and was sitting up in bed with her boobs bare reading a book called 'Total Body Cleansing'. "When I've got it all doped out I'll fill you in on the details," she said and we 'smootched' good-bye over the phone.
Thinking of Judy sitting bare breasted in bed I raised my hands to cuddle my own breasts and wondered for the countless time: Why did women start calling their tits boobs. That is a real mystery to me. Boob means mistake, and these lovely mounds are certainly not a mistake. They are the third most beautiful of God's creations and provide great pleasure to the woman who owns them as well as to the man or woman she shares them with. Even covered, they give pleasure to all the hundreds of men who see them each day pushing out a blouse or sweater. I'm sure too, that many women enjoy watching the shape and bounce and style of other women's breasts -- I certainly do. In short, they bring a lot of happiness to the world.
While driving home that afternoon I had a sharp pain shoot through my right twinky. It hurt so bad that I could hardly hold the steering wheel, but it did slowly subside. It certainly scared me. Dr. Johnson had told me I was perfectly healed now, but still, I wondered if something was wrong inside. I pulled off the road and squeezed and probed at it, yet I could not cause any pain -- well, perhaps it was just one of those strange things a severed nerve will do for a while.

Bulb Replacement for Roswell Light/Speaker Tower
Hey Gang,
I have a 2008 21V and wanted to know if anyone else has had an issue trying to replace a bulb on the Roswell Tower Light Bar? It is the standard one that came on the Supra's and Moomba's at the time. The light bar has a 3 light set-up that shines on the back on the boat to wake area. One of the bulbs went out and what I thought was a simple fix is anything but that. Turns out the bulb is soldered to the wiring. Any suggestions on the simplest way to change this out would be appreciated. Thanks.

While a large percentage of companies have been beating estimates this quarter, profit growth has come predominantly by cost cutting rather than through expansion of top line sales. For this estimate-beating trend to continue, it has to give way to top line growth.
Zillow, (NYSE:Z), a company with consensus-busting earnings AND revenue growth in the flourishing housing market, may provide additional return potential if the broad market struggles as it approaches 1600 on the S&P.
Zillow: Riding the Housing Boom
Zillow secured its stronghold by becoming a staple for home buyers and sellers, renters, landlords, agents, and developers looking to determine fair market property values. The company aggregates information from publicly available sources such as land records, sale prices, and listing facts, using a proprietary valuation algorithm to generate a database of current pricing information. This information is used to create a "Zestimate" – a general home valuation that buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals can use as a guideline for a property's real value.
Zillow has blossomed this straightforward business model into a growth powerhouse. In 2011, Zillow had revenues of $66.053M. In 2012, this had grown to $116.85M. For 2013, analysts' estimates put total revenue at $171.27M, followed by $227.61M for 2014 and $274.51M for 2015. If Zillow meets these projections over the next 30 months, this would be a 32.96% CAGR in revenue growth. Given Zillow's history of handily beating earnings estimates, this kind of top-line expansion would allow Zillow to continue to build on that reputation.
Certainly much of Zillow's growth can be attributed to a buoyant US housing market – one of the few resilient segments of the economy. And Zillow's valuations are not cheap. Significant growth rates are being priced into the stock with a forward P/E of 70 and a PEG of 5.7. However, management has indicated that they see the company as still in its early expansion phase and, with total US real estate-related advertising at $20 billion, they will continue to build out the Zillow brand into niche segments of a very large, fragmented market. The company has over 35 million unique monthly visitors with very strong brand awareness.
Zillow expects to invest heavily in developing a top presence across real estate related markets that will touch everyone from renters to homebuyers to mortgage and real estate professionals. This build-out will consume a considerable portion of revenues and keep quarterly EPS in the range of $0.06 to $0.15 through the remainder of 2013. Over the next couple of years, however, core EPS is expected to grow by 148% and 51% respectively.
Knowing the Risks
Being tethered to the housing market has been a boon this year but this good fortune could change rapidly. Zillow's own Home Value Index for the metropolitan areas of Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento in Q1 2013 show year-over-year growth over 20%. For many, this kind of growth in home prices flashes warning signals that the resurgence in US housing is becoming unsustainable and portends more volatile downward swings rather than stabilization. For the US as a whole, the Zillow Home Value Index was up 5.1% YoY as of March, marking the sixteenth straight month of appreciation. Zillow will benefit if this growth continues; the issue is how well it can weather a downturn. Zillow's exposure to the housing market remains cyclical and given its rich valuation, investors may be quick to deflate this premium if housing prices begin to slide.
Also posing a risk are competitors such as Trulia (NYSE:TRLA), Move Inc. (NASDAQ:MOVE), and potentially Google (NASDAQ:GOOG). Zillow has first-to-market brand recognition but the nature of their business makes competition highly fluid and unpredictable. Zillow will need to maintain the edge on innovation and continue investing in brand recognition.
On a Tear
Click to EnlargeZillow has appreciated 143% since November 2012. So to be clear, Z is an aggressive growth stock that has sentiment and momentum on its side. When that changes, the volatility to the downside can be fast and painful. However, the market is rewarding high growth stocks with high potential for revenue growth – and Z fits the bill. As long as this trend continues and the market maintains its bias towards risk-on mode, Z could see substantial upside, even from current levels.
Z's uptrending channel is steep, with the $55 price level representing the lower end of the channel. Pullbacks towards that lower end may not last long and entries within this channel may be more ideally suited for momentum and swing trades.
Longer term, Z has significant support near $45. Given the consolidation that took place beneath this level and the breakthrough the stock made in early March, price action indicates that this would be a key technical level on any pullback. As such, it would mark an ideal buy limit point for investors with longer term horizons. For investors that are looking for an aggressive growth stock while gaining alternative exposure to the US real estate recovery, Zillow may be the right candidate.
Recommendation: Accumulate Z at the low end of its uptrending channel as an aggressive growth stock. A $45 buy limit would be suitable for a longer term horizon.
Options Alternative: Buy to open the August 60 calls for $5.50 or less on pullbacks. The calls have run up ahead of Zillow's earnings report Tuesday, May 7, so try to enter on pull backs, but no need to chase the price as we have plenty of new recommendations.

Invited Review
Differential signaling through the T cell receptor: from biochemistry to transplantation tolerance
J. Madrenas and A.I. Lazarovits
The John P. Robarts Research Institute, and the Departments of Microbiology and Immunology and Medicine, The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
Offprint requests to: Joaquín Madrenas, The John P. Robarts Research Institute, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and Medicine, The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5K8
Summary. Recent advances in our understanding of the structural nature of T cell activation and signal trans-duction from the T cell receptor for antigen make possible the development of new tolerogenic strategies. Here, we summarize the evidence supporting a critical role for the co-receptor molecule (CD4 or CD8) and CD45 in determining the pattern of T cell receptor-mediated signaling. The consequences of this differential signaling can range from T cell proliferation and cytokine production to the establishment of a state of proliferative unresponsiveness known as T cell anergy. Inducing T cell anergy can be an alternative approach for the establishment of transplantation tolerance. Histol Histopathol 13, 221-229 (1998)
Key words: Signal transduction, Transplantation, T cell tolerance

The sharemarket was channelling the spirit of Wilkins Micawber this week. Despite early days to the reporting season, the markets firmly believe something will turn up.
With the likes of
Known for his optimism, Mr Micawber would not have been out of place on a broking desk, while his most famous quote shows he also knows about debt and profits: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
That's despite the Rio result and a number of positive recent production reports. Consensus earnings for the full year to June 30, 2014 are for 12 per cent growth driven by resources (up 28 per cent), banks (up 10 per cent) and industrials ex-financials (up 3 per cent).
And although it's early days, the Australian dollar and the hit to confidence from the budget in the June quarter also imply a bit of downside risk to forecasts for industrial stocks.
Cochlear shows way
But as
Given the expansion in the price-earnings of some stocks and of the market compared to a few years ago, underperformers are likely to be hit.
The smart money will also focus on the outlook statements. Resource companies will again be in the spotlight on this front but there could be good news for companies exposed to housing and non-mining construction and retailing.
There is still going to be plenty of argument from the bears against the predictions of a rebound in the sharemarket, but that is the nature of a two-way market.
The bond market appears to be assuming a hard landing for our economy and with that, some interruption to company profits.
But the dollar is about 20 per cent higher than its post-float average of US78¢. Clime Asset Management chief investment officer John Abernethy says it should return to that level over the next years.
He expects the Australian dollar to have a stronger correction against the US dollar than the euro, and major winners will be companies with significant United States operations such as CSL,
Market looks at 85¢
"European-exposed stocks such as
Abernethy says at 5500, the local equity market is priced for the dollar to fall to about 85¢, and a devaluation would stimulate economic growth which will flow through to earnings growth.
Investors have a lot on their plates right now.
There is fear that the major Wall Street sharemarket is on the cusp of a major sell-off now that 17,000 has proved to be a stumbling block.
Geopolitical risk that for so long was largely ignored is now front and centre of investors' minds, while at home, the continuing uncertainty about the economy and a housing market that is in bubble territory is also causing angst.
Yet most people have not come to grips with the distinct possibility that long-term investment returns are likely to be much lower in the next decade than in the past.
