"Bar hopping?"
"Rachel Berry?"
She sighs. "Yes."
"Want to go bar hopping?"
"Jesus, Noah, it's not that hard of a concept to comprehend! I'm twenty-one today, and I think I deserve a little bit of reckless fun." She nods, putting her hands on her hips as she stares up at him.
"Well, hell yeah, but I never thought Rachel Berry would want to go bar hopping." He chuckles and her eyes narrow.
"I'm certain it's never stopped you before, but as I am of legal age, it's perfectly alright for me to want to drink now." She nods, crossing her arms over her chest and accentuating her cleavage, but he tries to ignore that. They aren't dating, so he doesn't really have the right to ogle her chest. Besides, he's pretty sure she just confessed that she's never drank before.
"Wait…are you telling me that this will be your first time drinking?" he asks, his head cocking slightly.
She rolls her eyes. "Well, I have had the occasional glass of champagne at a wedding here and there. But yes. This will be my first time actually drinking." She nods.
He laughs and she glares.
"Noah, I don't understand what's so funny about it. Just because I'm not you and I didn't break every law I could while in high school doesn't mean I deserve to be laughed at." She says, obviously irritated with him.
"Alright, alright! I'm sorry." He chuckles. "I just…It's surprising. I think you're the only person I know who waited until they were twenty one to get smashed." He shrugs.
"I'm not saying I'll get smashed." She warns, her eyes wide. "Just…I want to have a few drinks. And have the experience of drinking just for the fun of it." She shrugs.
"Alright then. I'll take you bar hopping." He shrugs, but he can't believe he's just said those words to Rachel freaking Berry.
"Wonderful! I'll call the girls!" she grins, clapping her hands.
He rolls his eyes, knowing that 'the girls' means Tina, Mercedes, Kurt, Quinn, Brittany and Santana. Which means he's in charge of calling the guys, otherwise known as Finn, Matt, Mike, and Artie.
Once all respective parties are called and it's figured out whose not coming (Artie can't because he's not even home for the summer, and Quinn isn't twenty-one yet so she feels there is no point in her presence), they decide that the stretch limo is going to pick everyone up at their respective houses. When he tells Finn that Rachel wants to get smashed for her twenty first birthday, Finn calls bullshit and Puck basically agrees because he still can't believe it himself.
It's five minutes to eight, five minutes before the limo is supposed to pick he and Rachel up from her house, and he's sitting on her couch waiting for her to get ready. He sighs, running his hand over his mohawk. Even college can't get rid of that shit.
"Rach, come on." He groans.
"Relax, Noah. We've got five minutes before the limo arrives." She calls from her bathroom. He sighs, rolling his eyes. His least favorite thing about girls was how they always, always, always made you wait.
He hears a honking outside and he gets up and sees that it's the limo, and that thing is fucking huge. The ten of them will fit in that easily.
"Limo's here." He calls, staring at the reflection of her house in the black paint.
"I'm ready." She says and he turns to see that she's stepped into the living room.
His eyebrows climb into his hair line and his jaw literally goes slack as he takes in the image before him.
His eyes start at her feet, which are clad in dangerously high black pumps, and then up her legs, which seem to go on for miles. There's a tiny black skirt hanging low on her hips, and he can actually see the tiny treble clef tattoo she has on her right hip that he dared her to get when she turned eighteen. There's a strip of skin showing and she's wearing a black vest, buttoned all the way up, as a shirt and he can see just a bit of her cleavage. Holy. Fuck.
"Do I look okay?" she asks.
His eyes land on her face, and see that she's got smokey eyes, and red lips, and her hair is in loose waves around her face. She's his friend, so he tries really hard not to picture throwing her on the couch and fucking her until she can't remember her name.
He nods. "Yeah." His voice is about three octaves too high. He clears his throat. "Yeah." He repeats.
She grins from ear to ear. "Excellent." She claps. She grabs a black purse that's sitting on the coffee table and smiles up at him expectantly. "Ready?" she asks.
He tears his eyes away from the patch of skin showing between her shirt (if you can call it that!) and her skirt before he nods. "Yeah." He says. He wonders if he's going to be able to say anything else for the rest of the evening.
They go outside and the limo driver opens the door for them both, keeping his eyes away from Rachel. Puck wonders if the man's a complete idiot and not going to drink in the sight of Rachel Berry looking like a total fox. But then he decides he doesn't want Rachel to be ogled by a stranger, so he pushes the thought out of his head.
Rachel is absolutely giddy with excitement.
"I'm so happy that we're all getting together again! It feels like it's been forever since almost everyone has been home at the same time." She says. "Of course, I'm really disappointed Artie couldn't come, but it wouldn't have been very convenient for him anyways. He would have had to have somebody drive him in his car, and that just wouldn't have been very fun for either of them, I don't think. It's also a shame Quinn couldn't come, but she wouldn't have been able to drink, or even go in some of the bars, so I suppose it's for the best." She nods, once again talking a mile a minute.
He's barely listening, trying really hard to keep his eyes away from her the soft skin of her thighs as she bounces around excitedly in her seat.
They pick up Tina first, and she's looking as goth as ever, but the streaks in her hair are purple instead of the normal blue. She hugs them both and then he watches as the two girls go on and on about whatever it is they're going on and on about. He's still staring at Rachel's legs.
Kurt is next, and he positively loves Rachel's outfit.
"There is no way you put this together by yourself, Rachel Berry." He gapes.
Puck rolls his eyes. He knows that Kurt and Rachel became friends in senior year, but he still sort of gets annoyed by him sometimes.
"I did actually!" Rachel defends with a smile. "You don't think it's too much, do you?" she asks.
"Absolutely not, you look fabulous!" he grins.
Matt comes next, and he sits next to Puck and they talk about what's been going on their lives while the girls giggle and gossip on the other end of the limo. Then comes Finn, whose eyes also seem to be glued to Rachel's gams, and Puck ignores the small bout of jealousy as he greets his friend.
Mercedes' house is the next stop and she squeals when she sees them all. Puck rolls his eyes again. It honestly hasn't been that long. They all saw each other in December over Christmas break, and it's only July now. It's not like it's been years.
Brittany is at Santana's house, so they both get in at the same time and Puck is glad when Finn's eyes travel to Santana's protruding cleavage instead of Rachel's mile long legs. Mike gets in last and the limo is crawling with ex-Glee club members so what should happen other than they all burst into song?
When they pull up to the first bar, they all file out and Rachel takes his arm with a grin and he can't help but smile back. They spend half an hour at this bar and by the time they leave, most everyone has got a good buzz going. He's going slow, and he thinks part of it is that he wants to keep an eye out for Rachel. He just chalks it up to wanting to remember all the stupid shit she does and says.
They get to the second bar and Mercedes laughs loudly when Brittany trips rather than steps out of the limo. Clearly the diva is a bit more than just buzzed.
He once again grins when Rachel grabs his arm and pulls him into the bar. She orders a shot of tequila and he shakes his head at her.
"What?" she giggles.
"You're not going to like it." He warns.
She rolls her eyes. "I'm a big girl, Noah Puckelman." She says.
"Puckelman?" he laughs.
Her eyes go wide and then she laughs too. "My apologies."
The bar tender puts her shot in front of her and she grabs it, downing it like a champ. Is it weird that he's totally turned on by that? It only gets worse when she licks her lips afterwards. Shit.
"Woo!" she screams, and the rest of the crew screams and claps with her before they all start ordering their own drinks. He just sticks with another beer, he's already had three, but at some point, Rachel convinces him to get something stronger so he orders a screw driver and she grins because she actually knows what that is.
By the time they get back out to the limo, everyone is a bit more than tipsy, and Santana and Brittany are actually hanging on to Finn for support, which when you think about it is a really bad idea because Finn is clumsy when he's sober. Puck thinks it's because he's got so much length to all his limbs that he simply doesn't know how to handle it all. Well, that, and the fact that he's kind of a dumbass, but they all love him anyway.
They get to the third bar and he groans when he sees that it just so happens to be karaoke night. Of course, there would be a bar that just so happened to be having karaoke night the night of Rachel Berry's fucking birthday party.
"Everybody, look! Karaoke!" Rachel squeals excitedly, clapping and jumping up and down which he really wishes she wouldn't do because she's already stumbled once, and her heels don't look like they're going to help matters.
"Woo!" Mercedes screeches and she immediately grabs Kurt and says that they need, need, need to do a revival of 4 Minutes like they did in high school, and Kurt happily agrees before the two dash inside, not bothering to wait for anyone else.
By the time the rest of them get inside, Kurt and Mercedes are already on stage rocking out. Granted, it's not as good as it was when they were in school because Kurt and Mercedes are halfway to being wasted off their asses, but they still sound okay, and it's absolutely hilarious.
"Noah, will you do it with me?" Rachel asks, leaning towards him when they sit down at one of the tables. He looks down at her cleavage and really, really wants to make a sexual remark, but somehow forces himself not to.
"I'm not up for singin' at the moment, Rachel." He groans.
She pouts at him, her big brown eyes begging and totally unfair.
"No!" he laughs, turning away from her so that she can't persuade him with puppy dog eyes. Those eyes could make him kill somebody without even thinking about it, and he's pretty sure she knows that.
"Aw, come on!" she says, putting her hand on his leg. He ignores the electricity he feels and orders another beer from one of the passing waitresses.
"No, Rachel." He chuckles.
He glances over as she sticks her bottom lip out at him before turning away with a huff. "Fine. I'll just go up there by myself." She says with a determined nod.
"You'll be great." He says with a grin and he can totally tell that she's trying not to smile.
A few minutes later, she's stepping onto the stage and he groans softly upon getting another view of her scantily clad form. She's scrolling through the choices, so he has time to just drink in the view. Or so he thinks.
Santana flops next to him and he looks over at her, his eyebrow raised expectantly.
"Brittany and I are gonna have a threesome with Finn tonight. Look!" the pretty Latina grins, pointing to where Brittany is sitting on Finn's lap, whispering or blowing or kissing his ear or something. Puck rolls his eyes.
"That's great, San." He says with a laugh before he picks up his beer and goes to take a sip.
"And you're totally gonna fuck Rachel." She adds before taking a gulp of her Cosmo.
He chokes on his beer and coughs for a minute before his wide eyes land on her. She's smirking at him.
"Where the fuck did that come from?" he asked.
She rolls her eyes. "Please. You've been eye fucking her since I got in the limo." She says. He opens his mouth to deny it, but she holds her hand up. "I'm not saying I blame you. She looks hot. Definitely a step up from knee socks and sweaters." She nods seriously, looking over as Rachel is still picking a song.
He shakes his head. Drunk Santana can not be that observant, can she?
"I'm not eye fucking anyone, least of all Rachel Berry." He says with a firm nod.
Santana shrugs. "Well, I guess I'll just see if Finn and Brittany would be interested in including her in-"
"Not a fucking chance." He snaps before he can even help himself. Sure, Brittany, San, and Rachel all screwing around was one hot fucking image, but throw Finn into the mix and it's almost like picturing dead kittens when you're trying not to 'arrive early'.
But now Santana's grinning at him like she knows fucking everything and he rolls his eyes.
"Alright, so I've been eye fucking her, but that doesn't mean shit. We're friends." He shrugs. "And she looks fucking hot tonight, you said so yourself. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed a night of eye fucking. I wonder if she knows she's not going to find any show tunes on that fucking thing?" he asks suddenly, his eyes on Rachel as she is still looking for a song to sing.
But suddenly Rachel grins and then walks towards the microphone stand.
"Heyyyy, everybody!" she waves, obviously three sheets to the wind. The ex-glee club cheers loudly, himself included. "I'm old enough to driiiink!" she giggles, and the whole bar laughs. "But right now, I'm going to sing you a song. I just hope you enjoy it." She grins before turning around and pushing a button on the machine.
When the beat starts, he almost shits himself. He can't believe she's about to sing this song. He can't believe she even knows this song. She pulls the mic from it's stand and begins singing.
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must 'a been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playin' my favorite song
When she holds the 'O' in song like you're supposed to, her hips sway back and forth slowly and he can't believe that this is what she acts like when she's drunk. If he'd have known that, he'd have gotten her smashed a long ass time ago.
"See? You totally want that." Santana says with a grin.
"Shh!" he orders, not wanting to take his eyes off of the songstress in front of him.
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me singin'
She goes into the chorus flawlessly and the entire bar joins in while her fist pumps into the air, making her tits shake slightly, and he's surprised he's not getting hard just watching her. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Santana get up and go sit next to Finn and Brittany, but he's too preoccupied to give a shit right now.
He smiled so I got up an' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same
She winks in his direction now and he grins, shaking his head slightly. When the fuck did Rachel Berry turn into a chick who sings rock songs in sexy little skirts and vests while she's all boozed up?
Said can I take you home
Where we can be alone
He watches with wide eyes as her hips sway back and forth again, only this time she slowly bends her knees, one of her hands sliding down the microphone stand in a way that makes him accidentally wonder how those fingers would feel wrapped around his cock. He licks his lips and takes a swig of his drink, glad that Santana isn't here to see the obvious erection straining against his jeans.
As the song continues on, she just gets sexier and sexier. Or maybe that's his opinion. Either way, he's pretty sure he's getting harder and harder as he watches her run her fingers along the microphone and the microphone. When one hand bunches in her skirt, showing even more of her thigh, he groans audibly.
The crowd fucking loves her, and they're all singing along with her and she's pumping her fist into the air and kicking her leg up during certain words and he's really, really hard, to the point that he's almost in pain.
And then finally, finally, the song is over and she does this cute little curtsey thing, and somehow even that is sexy, before bounding off the stage and towards him.
"Noah!" she squeals and instead of sitting in her seat, she grins and practically jumps into his lap. "I was so good! The audience loved me! I-" she freezes suddenly because she's shifted just right, making him bite back a groan, and she can totally tell that it's not a roll of silver dollars in his pocket.
Instead of getting all embarrassed and blushing like he figures she would, she grins and bites her bottom lip, looking even fucking sexier than he thought physically possible. She leans forward then, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispers,
"Is that for me?"
He groans softly in response, his hands coming up and gripping her hips to keep her from moving, because she totally just rubbed against him on purpose. She giggles.
"I'll take that as a yes." She whispers. "You do owe the birthday girl a present." She says and he groans again.
"I gave you a necklace." He says, burying his face in the crook of her neck. He likes this Rachel. No, scratch that. He really fucking likes this Rachel.
And it's true, he did give her a necklace. It was a white gold chain with a music note dangling from it, and in the center of the bottom part there's a small ruby because that's her birthstone.
She leans back and her eyebrows are raised slightly. "So…you're saying you don't want to have hot birthday sex with me?"
He groans and jumps up, setting her back to her feet before he grabs her wrist and drags her out, hoping nobody notices because he really doesn't need everyone else following them outside right now. It's practically pitch black outside because the street lamp in front of the bar isn't lit for whatever reason, but he doesn't care. He needs to find some place to fuck her. Like, now.
"We can't just leave everyone." She says with a disapproving tone but when he looks over at her, she licks her lips in an almost hungry fashion. She's totally digging this take charge shit.
He suddenly gets an idea and then he drags her towards the limo, opening the door and gesturing for her to get inside. She raises a brow at him but climbs in anyways and he rushes up to the driver side, knocking on the window. The older man rolls the window down and looks at Puck expectantly.
"We're not leaving. My friend and I just…want to hang out in the back for a while." He shrugs, and he can't believe he just said that. The limo driver smiles a knowing smile and nods.
"I think I'm going to go see if I can't get a piece of pie at the diner down the street." The man says with a nod before he steps out.
Puck almost blushes, but that's totally not badass. "Alright, man."
"I'll take my time." The driver says before walking away.
Puck just shrugs it off before he runs back to get into the limo. He opens the door and the first thing his eyes land on are her legs. She's sitting with them crossed at the knee and he follows her thighs up and then over her hips and breasts, and then her finds her lips as she brings a glass of champagne to them. She smiles at him slightly before putting it down.
He climbs in and he's still slightly hard, but he's thinking a little more clearly now because she's not wiggling around in his lap.
"What brought this on?" he asks. He's been drinking, but he's sober enough to realize that if she's going to regret this in the morning, he so doesn't want to get into it. She's one of his closest friends, and he's not going to lose that just because she looks ridiculously fucking hot, and because she practically made him come in his pants when she was singing.
She bites her bottom lip and smiles slightly before scooting closer to him.
"I've had…drinks." She nods and he sighs, nodding as well. He's not screwing another drunk girl. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" she says, shaking her head rapidly. "I'm not drunk, Noah." She states and he raises an eyebrow. She giggles. "I mean it. I'm…what do you call it…tipsy." She nods once she finds the word. "I know what I'm doing, and what I'm saying, and I'll remember all of it in the morning." She nods.
He runs his hand through his Mohawk and opens his mouth to speak but before he can, she's straddling his lap and he groans slightly when the warmth beneath her skirt rubs against his cock. And he wonders if she's wet.
"I want you, Noah." She whispers breathily and he hardens even more. "The necklace is lovely, but I realized something when I was singing tonight." She says.
He's trying really hard to focus on what she's saying, but it's getting more and more difficult the more she wriggles around in his lap.
"And what's that?" he asks.
She smiles again and one of her hands slides up around the back of his head and he feels her nails slide through his Mohawk.
"With you watching me up there…I've never felt sexier." She whispers.
His hands find her hips and he rubs his thumb along the gently protruding hip bone.
"You are sexy." He tells her, and he means it. She's one of the sexiest girls he knows. He's not one hundred percent sure when that happened, but it did. She's completely fucking sexy.
"Prove it." She smirks, one eyebrow raised.
And now she's challenging him. Fucking Christ.
He lifts her off his lap and lays her down on the seat of the limo before capturing her lips in a heated kiss as he settles between her legs. He's kissed her before, on multiple occasions, but he's always caught off guard by how good of a kisser she is. And she seems to be better every single time.
He pulls his lips away from hers so that he can place soft kisses down her jaw and neck. Her hands squeeze his biceps when his tongue darts out to lick the hollow of her clavicle.
"Oh, Noah," she sighs and he groans in response. That's seriously the hottest thing he's ever heard.
He presses his hardness against her core and she whimpers.
"Told you you're sexy." He whispers and she sighs softly in response.
He continues kissing her, his lips trailing down along her vest to the exposed cleavage. "So fucking sexy." He groans and she whimpers again. He figures that she likes hearing that.
His hand finds the button on her vest and he pops the first one open, more of her breasts being revealed to him. He bites his bottom lip as he undoes the second button and it's then that he realizes she isn't wearing a bra.
"Holy fuck, Rachel." He groans.
He doesn't bother going slow with the other three buttons, he just pulls the vest open, revealing her very perfect breasts to him. He palms one while his lips capture the bud of the other in his mouth, eliciting an extremely hot keening noise from within her throat. He feels her hand on the back of his head and she gasps as he swirls his tongue around the hardened peak.
"Noah," she whimpers, her tone almost pleading.
He slides his hand down her side and then along her thigh, barely letting his fingers brush against the flesh. She whimpers, and he has no choice but to let his hand move higher, beneath her little scrap of a skirt. He goes to brush his fingers against her panties and almost arrives early upon discovering she's not wearing any.
"Rachel." He says in a husky voice.
"Took them off when you were talking to the driver." She says with a smile.
"You'll be the death of me." He groans before kissing her again.
He slides a finger into heat and they both groan upon discovering how wet she is for him. He adds a second finger and slides them in and out of her slowly, watching as she writhes beneath him. Her hand clutches at his shoulder and her back arches as she tries to thrust up to create more friction.
"Noah," she whimpers, her hands practically clawing at his shirt.
He pulls his hand away from her and sits on his knees to pull his shirt over his head, tossing it away. She kneels in front of him, her eyes drinking in the sight of his shirtless form. She leans forward suddenly, kissing his collar bone and he sighs, his eyes closing as her nails gently drag over the planes of his stomach.
Her fingers slide back up and she tugs on his nipple ring gently, making him groan. He looks down, watching as she tugs at it again, looking up at him through hooded eyes.
"You are…so fucking sexy." He breathes before he tilts her chin up so he can kiss her again. He pulls her hips against his, grinding his erection against her, making her moan.
"Noah, please," she whimpers. "I want you," she says.
He couldn't have refused even if he'd wanted to.
He grabs her hips and lift her so that he can lay her back down on the seat and he makes work of his pants while she reaches to the floor to grab her purse. By the time she's got the condom open, his pants are discarded. She moves to hand him the condom but he shakes his head.
"You do it." He says and she bites her bottom lip as she sits up slightly before rolling the condom onto his hardened cock, making him groan. Her fingers felt better than he thought they would.
She pulls her vest all the way off, letting it hit the floor, before laying down in front of him. She's still wearing her skirt and pumps and he has no idea how he's going to last because she looks so fucking hot right now it should be illegal. He leans over her, positioning himself at her entrance. He gives her one last look to tell her to back down now if she wants to, and her response is to wrap her legs around him in an effort to pull him down inside of her.
He grips her hip with one hand, supports his body with the other, before he thrusts into her, making her cry out. He slides back out and repeats the motion, hearing his name tumble from her lips both times. He wants to take his time because he wants to spend as much time buried deep within her as possible, but he doesn't know how long he'll last.
Especially when her finger nails dig into his shoulders and she begs him to go faster.
He's probably going to bruise her hip, but she doesn't seem to mind as she meets him thrust for thrust. It's not going to be long before he comes, he knows this, so he slides his hand between them and his thumb finds the tiny bundle of nerves between them and he creates rough, uneven pressure all over it, making her gasp.
"Yes! Oh, Noah!" she groans as he fucks her as hard as he can. "Oh, yes," she cries out as she gets closer.
"Come for me, Rachel," he says gruffly.
"Noah, yes!" she moans, her voice going up a few octaves. "Noah, I-" but she doesn't finish her sentence. At that moment, her mouth forms an 'O' and she comes, hard and fast, her cunt tightening sporadically around him.
"Fuck, Rachel!" he grunts as he comes, buried deep inside her.
He supports his weight with his elbows so as not to crush her as they sit and pant together. He kisses the side of her face.
"Happy birthday," he smirks.
She giggles.
"You know what this means, right?" she asks.
"Hm?" he asks, leaning up to stare down into her pretty chocolate eyes.
"It's going to be very, very difficult for you to find a present to beat this one next year." She smiles.
He smiles back and nods. "I think I have some ideas." He smirks.
She giggles in response and he just shakes his head at her as he sits up, pulling the condom off. He opens the door, intent on tossing it outside, but his eyes widen when he sees the entire freaking glee club standing out there. Some have expressions of pure horror (Namely Kurt, Finn, and Mercedes), others of shock (Matt, Tina, and Mike), and others of amusement (Santana and Brittany).
Rachel gasps and grabs his shirt to cover her exposed breasts, her hand flying over her mouth.
"Told you." Santana smirks.
"How long have you guys been out there?" he asks, using his jeans to cover his dick.
"Long enough to know that you have completely and totally violated our ride home!" Kurt says, his eyes looking like they're about to pop out of his head.
"And that Rachel is a super vocal lover." Santana laughs.
"Wow…" Finn says, his expression one of disgust and shock combined.
And then Rachel does the damndest thing.
She bursts out laughing. And he looks over to see that she's laughing so hard her entire body is shaking and her eyes are watering. He can't help but laugh as well.
"Um…Give us a sec?" he asks everyone. "We kinda…um…clothes." He says with a nod before pulling the door closed, ignoring all the protests of their friends.

It's the company I have an arrangement with to market my items.
What the heck I placed the panties back on to the floor and went to my room. Keep beneficial by thinking about dirty panties, Valentines offers and the promise of spring just round the corner!! Many used panty buyers wish these panties to become airtight sealed.

Hello. We're Skype and we've got something
we would like to share with you.
What we've got is a simple bit of software we want to give you. It'll let you make free calls to your friends all over the world. And we don't want any money for it. It's free.
You could think of us as the big, free Internet telephony company. We prefer to think of ourselves as a big group hug, even a present. Yes… that's it… we're a present… but without the ribbon.
Download Skype: Windows | Mac OS X | Linux | Pocket PC
Skype in a nutshell.
Our software's quick and easy to get started with. Download, register, install, plug in your headset, speakers or USB phone and start calling your friends. The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption. You don't even need to configure your firewall or router or any other networking gear. It just, you know… works.
Bridging the gap.
And it doesn't just work on Windows, like some other software you may know. Skype is also for Mac OS X, Linux and PDAs using Pocket PC, with a native look and feel for each platform. Talking, sending instant messages or even file transfers work between different platforms like a charm.
Calling regular phone numbers.
If there weren't enough ways for you to contact your friends, we have a little thing called SkypeOut. It lets you make calls to old-fashioned phone numbers all around the world. Landlines, mobile phones... it works with almost all of them. SkypeOut is not free but it is pretty cheap, actually. You can read more about SkypeOut if you wish.
Make sure you're on the same page.
You know how Skype to Skype calls are free and work? Well, we've taken the same recipe and applied it to file transfers. Since most things you want your friends to see tend to be rather large, we made our file transfer work with all the file sizes your operating system can handle. For most people, that's between 2 or 4 gigabytes. And remember, it works from Windows to Mac to Linux and the other way around. No platform problems here.
Nobody's listening in.
When it comes to talking, instant messaging or transferring files, we've gone to great lengths to make it secure. Skype automatically encrypts everything before sending it through the internet. Likewise, on arrival everything is decrypted on-the-spot and presented as crystal clear speak, text or a file transfer nobody can intercept.
Yes, you heard it right.
All the security in the world wouldn't matter, though, if you couldn't hear the other person. With Skype, you can. We're working with the very best in the industry to provide a sound quality far superior to what you're used to from ordinary telephones. If you will bear with us for a moment here we'd like to share some technical stuff with you: with normal telephones you can only hear sounds from 300 Hz to 3 kHz. Not so with Skype; We're all over the spectrum, from the lowest hum to the highest screetch. In other words: 'F' and 'S' will sound like the two different letters they were meant to, and in the end you will be able to have a much more natural conversation.
Getting the words out.
That also goes for conferences. It's completely secure for you and up to four others to get together to coordinate tactics in a game, make one of those important business decisions or simply have a chat, even if you're all on different continents.
Needle. Haystack. Solution.
Searching for those long-lost relatives or just somebody to have a quick chat with is also part of what Skype is all about. We have what we call a Global User Directory. It's a giant phonebook of all the people who use Skype. You can use it to search for people you'd like to talk to, people who have the same birthday or people who just happen to live in the same street as you.
Is anybody out there?
When you find somebody you know or even someone you would like to know, you add them to your list of contacts. You can also write a little note to let them know who you are and why you want to add them to your list. Handy, if your separated-at-birth-twin finds you on Skype. When people are on your list, you can see if they are online, offline, busy... or perhaps out to lunch.
When actual, spoken words fail you.
Did we mention that you can also send instant messages with Skype? Well, you can. That's nice for when you're talking about a website and you want to send that really long address or if you're writing a song maybe. Either way, you can send one of those little smiley faces along with your message. Smile to the world and the world smiles back.

US Facing New Financial Deadlines
August 27, 2013 12:48 PM
The U.S. is facing crucial new financial deadlines in the coming weeks, needing to fund the government for the year starting in October and then increase the country's borrowing limit.
The government said Monday that it will run out of borrowing authority in mid-October as it approaches its current $16.7 trillion debt ceiling. That would be about two weeks after Congress and the White House will have to agree on an annual spending plan for the fiscal year that begins October 1, although President Barack Obama and lawmakers could work toward a short-term agreement and push off final decisions until later in the year.
If no accord is reached on the twin issues, the government could partially shut down and later not have enough money to pay its bills.
Contentious political fights in Washington over taxes and spending have been a recurring theme during the four and a half years of Mr. Obama's presidency, essentially a debate over the size and role of the national government. The White House call for higher taxes on the wealthy has been adamantly opposed by Mr. Obama's Republican congressional opponents, who want steep spending cuts in domestic programs.
The two sides have often negotiated till the last possible moments before reaching agreements to solve immediate funding issues. But Mr. Obama and congressional leaders have been unable to reach agreement on broader economic reforms, especially on tax law changes, spending on government pensions for older Americans and health care for the poor and retired workers.
With the new deadlines approaching, the dean of the Hofstra University business school in New York, Patrick Socci, told VOA that Mr. Obama and his political opponents are likely to again reach a last-minute deal, but with neither side feeling like it won.
"I think what happens here is when you have a myriad of issues, and I would even venture to say that immigration reform may even be thrown into the mix, that people will use different aspects of these issues as leverage for what they want in some of the other issues. I think they will come up with a deal, but it will be at the 11th hour, so that whatever deal is arranged, for sure, no one side will be completely happy."
The leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, John Boehner, has called for a short-term spending agreement to keep the government running October 1, but he says any increase in the debt ceiling must be accompanied by further spending cuts to eventually trim the country's debt. Some Republicans have called for repealing Mr. Obama's signature health care law that takes full effect in October to save money, but Mr. Obama and Democratic lawmakers are opposed.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that Mr. Obama would negotiate with Congress over the 2014 spending plan, but not on raising the debt ceiling.
"Let me reiterate what our position is, and it is unequivocal. We will not negotiate with Republicans in Congress over Congress' responsibility to pay the bills that Congress has racked up. Period."
Hofstra's Socci says whatever agreement might be reached will leave both Democrats and Republicans with campaign claims for next year's congressional elections and the next presidential contest in 2016.
"Nothing has changed. There are no new political forces out there. And so it's just the same people digging in on their various sides, and so they'll somehow get by. No one will have enough power to score the knockout punch and to claim complete victory."

Peter Fringer/1752-1807/Shenandoah & Augusta Co.s VA
Just info for researchers:
Peter Fringer/Frenger b. abt 1752 of Shenandoah Co., VA married Anna Catharine (known as Catharine) Beck/Peck abt. 1771 probably in Shenandoah Co., VA. The family moved to Augusta Co., between 1782-1785. Peter died in Augusta Co. just before August 1807 when his estate went through probate--he had no will. Catharine was the daughter of Stephan Beck/Peck and Anna Catharine Stoffel of Lancaster Co., PA, Shenandoah & Augusta Co., VA. Peter & Catharine's known children:
1. Johan Peter Frenger11 Aug 1772Shenandoah Co. VA
2. Johannes Frenger18 Dec 1776Shenandoah Co. VA
3. Johan George Frenger29 Dec 1779"
4. Catharina Elizabetha Frenger 4 Dec 1782"
5. Anna Catharin Frenger 22 Sep 1785Augusta Co., VA
6. Anna Maria Susanna 'Susan' Frenger 25 Oct 1786"
7. Johan Heinrich Frenger21 Dec 1788"
8. Anna Cristina Frenger 11 Nov 1791"
9. Jacob Stephan Frenger 11 Apr 1794"
According to German naming customs, all these kids went by their middle names. Their birth data comes from their parents when their names where entered into the records of St. John's German Reformed Lutheran Church in Augusta Co., VA when they were baptized at St. John's, or put into the St. John's record after they moved there. The Frenger's were one of the original families to establish St. John's. I have info on some of the children's marriages and some descendants.Many stayed right in Augusta County.

Judging a Fashion Show by Its Invite
Without hesitation, investment banker Euan Rellie can rattle off the "coolest-slash-chic-est" Fashion Week invitations he has received this season alone.
"Chris Benz, Skaist-Taylor, Prabal Gurung, Peter Som, Rag & Bone, Cynthia Rowley, Erin Fetherston, Honor and Jason Wu," he said. "In that order."

Need a pat on the back or an embrace from time to time to lift your spirits? Or do you just want to creep out your friends with a weird backpack? In either case, the Embrace Plush Backpack is for you. I think this is the weirdest backpack I've ever seen. It's not only soft like a stuffed toy, it has arms that can reach out and hug you.
As to why the hands are blue instead of flesh colored, I have no idea. I also don't see how the arms would actually wrap around you in a hugging fashion. However, it is the perfect base to create a zombie style backpack, so there's that.

SANTIAGO, May 31 (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp has paid a discounted $11.6 million fine for serious environmental violations at its suspended Pascua-Lama gold project, a spokesperson for the company said on Friday.
Last Friday, Chile's new environmental regulator ordered the controversial $8.5 billion project be halted and fined the world's biggest gold miner around $16 million.
Chilean law provides a 25 percent discount if the fine is paid within five working days.
The project will likely be reactivated in one to two years at the earliest, given the infrastructure that needs to be built to avoid water pollution, the regulator told Reuters on Thursday.
Barrick is due to present a plan to meet the regulator's requirements next week.
A Chilean court in April had already temporarily halted the unpopular project, which straddles the border of Chile and Argentina, to weigh claims by indigenous communities that Barrick has damaged pristine glaciers and harmed water supplies.
The fine imposed by the regulator stems from one "very serious breach" and four "serious breaches." Given the infractions, Greenpeace said the fine was "laughable."
Barrick shares closed down 13 cents at $21.58 on Friday in Toronto.

The Baby Hero Team asked the fathers in our lives what advice they would give to someone becoming a father for the first time. Their sweet, funny and poignant responses remind us why we love them all so!
from Hong Kong, Father to 3 adult child (including Creative Director, Joyce) and grandfather to 2
"Stay calm!
As a first time father, you'll be excited and nervous about everything that will happen when baby arrives. It is important to stay calm, since you will have to take care of both your wife and the new born, especially after the "shocking" scene in the delivery room. There is so much to worry about, the experience is overwhelming but it is worth it."
from L.A., Father to 2 Kids under 5 (and Creative Director, Joyce's husband)
"Sleep! Sleep! And...Sleep!
Although as a new father, you don't need to breastfeed, don't need to pump, it doesn't mean you will get to sleep! If baby cries, you wake up! If your wife cries, you wake up! If both of them scream, you wake up!
It is also important to communicate with your wife. It is ok not to know things, it is okay to figure things out along the way with your partner. It is a brand new and unique experience that no one can really prepare for. Just go with the flow, and enjoy every moment of it."
From Connecticut, Father to 3 Kids under 5 (and Co-Founder, Allie's husband)
"You're about to experience much higher highs and far lower lows than you have thus far. Don't forget to keep smiling and enjoy the ride!"
From Pakistan, Father to 1 adult child (Co-Founder, Samar) and grandfather to 3
"The birth of our daughter (our first and only child) changed me profoundly. First, it connected me irrevocably to another human being, something, which had been tentative up to then. Secondly, it gave me a new and surprisingly strong and assured confidence to do the best I could for her - to give her all the love I was capable of; to arouse in her an interest to deeply observe her surroundings - both the inner and the outer; and to encourage her to develop strong bonds to her family, both nuclear and extended. Her birth made me much more conscious of my own limitations and neurosis and that awareness allowed me some leeway, I like to believe, to modify or soften its effect on her. It was only later, when I was somewhat wiser, that I learnt two contradictory lessons, first, that one should be comfortable in the knowledge that one's children will most likely inherit their parents neurosis, and second, that despite that, they were quite unique, much more than a summation of their parents. Above all as a father, I very much wanted to impart to my daughter, what I had inherited from my parents, particularly, my own father: a joie de vivre, an exultation of spirit. I was not afraid to act as a buffoon, both to amuse her and myself and to impart a sense of fun and irreverence. I was not afraid (mostly, I think) for her to see me as I was: warts and all so she will not 'idealize' her father but see him simply as the human being he was. From the very moment of her birth, I knew my priorities: she and our family life came first, before my career or my own ambitions. And that was no sacrifice on my part, just something I knew was right for all of us. Lastly, none of this would have been possible without the love and support of my wife, my daughter's mother."
From Ireland, Father to 3 Kids under 5 (and co-founder, Samar's husband)
"Ultimately, you can't make another person do what you want them to do, even a person you helped create. You can only hope to make them want to do those things. So if you want your toddler to go to college, teach him the wonder of learning about the world. If you want her to play sport, teach her the satisfaction of competing to your best. If you want them stay close to their family, teach them the joy of strong relationships. And if there's something you really don't want them to do, pretend you think it's really cool. Good luck!"
From South Africa, Father to 2 kids under 10 (and team member, Bianca's brother)
"Becoming a dad is both daunting and exciting. This miracle brings parents closer in the sense that the experience is something unique - it is the result of two beings coming together to form another. It extends our understanding and experience of love. For the first time I understood what it means to love unconditionally and it enhanced my existing relationships. The birth of each child is as special and different as the little persons they become! Some advice:
From Hong Kong, Father to 2 boys under 10 (and husband to Communications Director, Aquin)
"A father's role is to compliment the mother, not to mirror her. Do what's best for the baby and the mom and don't feel guilty about not having boobs! Don't view time with the baby as a chore. Find ways to have fun with your li'l ones – make it the highlight of your week!"

- the process must be clearly described at the outset so your customers know and agree with what is happening and when, and what is expected of them.
You have a critical role in helping your customers make informed choices about their return to work. You may find this checklist of action points helpful.
The customer journey: checklist
- Making a connection with your 50+ customer

to upset my Mum by living abroad with grandchildren for husband's job(74 Posts)
Due to my husband's work we've been living in South America with our children (DS(4) and DD(1)) this year, we were due to come home next August. Prior to this we were living close to my Mum, and she's been really really upset about us having gone, literally counting down the days until we're back.
Yesterday I had to break the news to her that we've now got to stay here for 3 more years due to a change in my husband's job (he sort of has to accept otherwise there will be no job for him). She took it unbelieveably badly, she was incredibley upset. Today I was told that she's been admitted to hospital as she suffered her first grand mal epileptic seizure for 30 years, which had been brought on by stress, and I've also found out that she's not been eating and is borderline anorexic.
My husband loves his job and he and the children are really happy living in South America, and I think it will be a great benefit to them to grow up in a different culture and be bilingual. But it's seeming to come at a high price as it's affecting my Mum so badly. We Skype and I'm forever sending her photos and email updates, but she really loved having us actually live close by as she doesn't really have much of a life outside of her home, as she looks after her brother who's partially sighted and my grandad who's 98, and doesn't really have any friends or outside interests, as she's extremely shy and has really really low self-confidence.
I kind of know that I have to stick by my husband and his job, but I can't help feel that I'm being unreasonable and selfish as it's hurting my mum so badly.
Anyone been in this situation? Anyone able to offer any advice?
So she has a husband, still healthy and living with her (who sounds fed up with her antics) and another family member living with her too? And your DH needs to work? And she herself is reasonably healthy, having only suffered one bad fit in 30 years, which is most likely due to her refusal to eat properly? Yet she wants to uproot your whole family so she can get more attention than she is already getting from you?
She is guilt tripping you, and I suspect you will end up resenting her if you give in to this. She is an adult, she is capable of making out of her own life what she wants, and its her choice not to do so. But expecting a young family to rearrange their lives around her is extremely selfish and should not be indulged.
You're not responsible for your mum's happiness. Only she is. Sounds to me like you're doing a reasonable amount to keep in contact. I would not go and fetch her. (Apart from being incredibly hard work) it may also further unsettle her being out of her comfort zone. Damned if you do; damned if you don't type of thing.
You're all absolutely right. The OP and her family must live the life that is right for them, and if that means living in South America for the foreseeable future (if not permanently) then that is what they must do.
However, please show her mother some kindness and sympathy. I would be devastated if my DC and DGC moved away/abroad. I would hope not to emotionally blackmail them about it, but it would break my heart. And I have other family, close friends and a reasonable social life. If I had the difficult life the OP's mum has I have no idea how I'd cope.
I can understand her (literal) devastation and whilst she shouldn't be pandered to she needs help to learn how to cope.
We show much sympathy on here for posters whose parents don't care at all. Don't criticise the ones that care too much.
I second the idea of getting a good taxi (try an independent Private Hire firm) to transport her to the airport - I'm sure you'd find someone to take her to check-in. And then arrange for the airline to look after her and guide her through the transfer. That's all doable.
And I take it she is widowed?
Agree with Nanny0gg. It's a very difficult situation for all of you. Your mum is sick with depression, anorexia and epilepsy. She is also caring for two relatives. I am not surprised that she is upset that you are not coming back when orignally planned.
Did she have any idea that you might be staying away much longer then originally expected?
I find it very interesting that some people see the mothers issues as an attempt to emotionally blackmail whilst others see her as just a woman who is struggling to come to terms with the upset.
That's personal perception for you.
Just a thought - if it's Madrid she would struggle with could she get to Madrid to be met by you and then go on together. At least it would take one flight, well two actually, out of the equation for you.
I think in your heart of hearts it sounds as if yo uknow that you being back with your kum wouldn't necessarily make her healthier.
Can you imagine the resentment you, and possibly your family, might feel if you did return home just for her?
Just to add, would it be easier for you to do a trip back for a week or two (with your children) to try to help her set up a better support network. Or do you think her shyness is insurmountable?
Gosh, I'm amazed at some of the things above. Think your mum coming out is great. Well done you. I used to help elderly relatives fly - all the grandchildren did - I have a very international family. And got some "free" travelling out of it too (aka parents/aunts etc paying for my travel costs).
I remember doing a handover once in Geneva from one of my swiss cousins, taking my grandad to the south of france. And some lovely weekends in Paris. And commonly helping at airports near London. Are there any younger relatives who can help logistically?
Wow, some of the comments on this thread towards the mother are shocking. It's incredibly understandable that she misses you (OP) and wants you around, and that it would come as a shock that you are staying an extra three years. It's a very difficult situation, but I don't think it's at all fair to blame or resent the mother.
The OP's partially sighted uncle and 98yo GF live with her mum, for whom she acts as carer, LessMiss.
I think that the OP's mum could do a lot more to help herself in so many areas of her life; she could get some sort of respite care for the GF and uncle to enable her to do other things. She could get her mental health sorted out to a point where she has enough confidence to join social groups, even if one was a carers support group where she could chat and get information about coping. It is sad that she has fixated on her life with her DD and DGC before they moved as the centre of her world.
I think you are doing brilliantly OP in trying to accommodate flying home to collect your mum. Perhaps when she sees your life in Chile she will appreciate more why you cannot just upsticks and move back home, I think even with skype she cannot fully understand what your life is like now and can only think of what it was before.
Do what you would want your dc to do in the same situation. Show them how to be the person you'd like them to be.
For me that would mean going to SA and visiting when we could afford it.
I was going to say the same, Are there any friends or family who might want a South American holiday and could bring her over for you. My brother-in-law accompanied his elderly, nervous grandmother to see his dad/her son in the US. She took to flying like a duck to, erm, flying, and having been once was happy to jet back and forth on her own after that.
My own parents will always regret not extending my Dad's posting to the US. My Dad's mum kept up with the 'oh we're so old, we might die before you're home' so they came back after 2 years. All my grandparents survived for at least another ten years after that and that particular Granny lasted another 23 years.
That shoudl have been 'I was going to say the same as Alanna...'
Should. Arghh.
I agree that if your DM wants to come and visit you should arrange a car service to take her to the airport and and arrange with the airline to escort her to both her flights. It is quite easy to arrange this. My registered blind great-aunt flew to Canada on her own with this kind of assistance and many people need extra help in airports. Don't come all the way over her to escort her - that's ridiculous, expensive and just confirms to her how incapable she is. If she comes on her own it could be just the kind of empowering experience she needs.
And please stop feeling so guilty. You are living your own life, which you are entitled to do. Each of us is responsible for our own happiness and your DM really needs to stop placing all this burden of guilt on you. I realise she's unwell, but she isn't infirm and if other family members will take over her caring responsibilities for a while it could really reassure her that living in Chile for a time is a valuable experience for you and your family.
There are a lot of cultures where the older generation are appreciated and cared for and considered part of the family, not seen as the previous generation that has nothing to do with the future of the current one.
It's tricky isn't it. As a mother, I want my children to take all the opportunities open to them that make their lives happy and worthwhile. But at the same time, I would be devastated to not have them in my life. Similarly I could not live a happy life knowing my own mother, the woman that gave me my life, was in such sad circumstances.
We came back. After five yrs down under we moved to mainland Europe specifically to be closer to family after or first child was born. None of the grandparents are ill or alone, but I could not see that the benefits of what was essentially a lifestyle choice could outweigh my children knowing their grandparents. So while DH and I DH do pine for sun, sea and the great things about Oz, it fades into insignificance when I see the joy that my children bring to their grandparents, and vice versa. It's priceless.
I think people are being very harsh on your mum op. I think if I were in her situation, ill and with so much caring to do for others, I would be gutted to hear my beloved grandchildren and only child were not coming back. It's one thing saying she should be getting on with her own life etc but it sounds like she is really, really struggling.
What would you want your child to do if you were in your mum's position op? It's a horrible decision to have to make, I feel for you.
We've had a similar situation when we moved to Australia for 2 years. Although I don't think you should change your plans and accept guilt, I really really feel for your mother. Like my mother she was probably raised with very different expectations for life when children of most financial backgrounds stayed relatively close and never prepared her expectations for having her only child and grand children so far away. Not everyone has the emotional resources to build themselves a completely different life.
This is what we did.
- planned an extended visit for 2 months for her (long enough for her to fit in with the daily routine and not feel like a guest and as if the visit was over as soon as it began).
- arranged a car and driver to LHR check in as suggested.
- Wrote a very clear step by step guide to travelling through airports (with a picture of the dcs smiling at the end!)
- as she wasn't very articulate when stressed we wrote a very short but clear letter she could hand to any airline staff or airport information desk incase she got 'lost' explaining her plans, something like 'I am travelling alone for the first time, I am going to x. These are my flights xxxxx, I am feeling a bit confused, please can you tell me what I should be doing next, thank you).
- we arranged help through the airline for changing in Hong Kong but I don't think she needed it as the step by step guide was very good, if I say so myself.
- It was a big big deal for her, the biggest challenge was convincing her to do it but she did and felt so good for managing it. She came again the next year and needed all the same instruction.
- We all visited at approx. 9 month intervals so I think she didn't go more than 4-5 months without seeing us. It made it very bearable for her and I was much happier knowing she felt looked after.
can she come and live with you for a bit?
She sounds hard work. I'd stay in SA if I were you.
Your Mum seems very, very needy. You have your own life to lead.
Also English/Spanish bilingualism will be a huge advantage for your children.
Each of us is responsible for our own happiness
Yep. Easy to say when not being a carer for elderly parent and sight-impaired sibling.
I wonder how close the really harsh-sounding posters are to their parents because that would obviously colour their judgements to a great extent.
attheendoftheendofmytether's post was really, really helpful OP. Could that work for you?
OP you are not being selfish at all. You do need to put your own family first, but that doesn't need to be at the expense of your DM. In your situation I would stay where you are and encourage DH to take the job.
It is an incredibly difficult situation. Yes, you could try to get your DM to come out here, we're also in Latin America, but depending which country you are in she may not get the same level of medical care as in the UK.
Would she cope well with the language barrier? The heat? Would she feel comfortable leaving the relatives for whom she is currently caring?
endofmytether's system looks fantastic, plus some countries in this region have direct flights to and from the UK so that takes care of one potential problem.
Do you have another relative who could help DM get help for the depression and low self esteem via the GP? Doesn't sound like she's living a fulfilling life and there's no guarantee that would change even if you lived next door.
What age is your DM OP? I'm guessing not as old as she sounds.
I like attheendofmytethers suggestion - people can sometimes do more than you think, an elderly friend of ours who has difficulty catching a bus managed a trip to the US on her own. However if you are able to go over and bring her back, then that's maybe the way to go.

Black was among those named during the Daily Telegraph's investigation into alleged corruption in English football.
With the use of secretly filmed footage, the newspaper had alleged he offered advice to an undercover reporter, posing as a businesswoman, on how to bribe officials at other clubs for information on players.
Black denied the allegations and, after the conclusion of Southampton's internal investigation into the matter, they are satisfied with his conduct.
"Southampton Football Club can confirm that it has closed its internal investigation into allegations made by The Telegraph against first-team assistant manager Eric Black," read a statement on the club's official website.
"Despite numerous requests to provide the club with any evidence relating to the allegation against Mr Black, none has been forthcoming.
"There is no evidence of any wrongdoing, and as such, the club now considers the matter closed.
"Eric Black retains the full support of Southampton Football Club."
