According to Amnesty International,"Thousands of women and girls have suffered rape and other forms of sexual violence, yet, more than a year on from the signing of a peace agreement, no one has been prosecuted and it remains unclear if, how and when those responsible will ever face justice."
Even infants are not immune from sexual assault. Some believe that raping a child will bring them good luck, others simply assume it is the natural right of men. With a low rate of conviction rape continues to occur daily despite education campaigns led by the government. According to UNIML Press, UN Envoy, Ms. Ellen Margrethe Løj, Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG),"commended the leadership being shown by government and county officials in confronting the serious problem of rape, which is currently the single most frequently committed serious crime in Liberia."
"Ms. Løj urged all Liberians not to keep quiet about rape but to ensure that rapists are brought to justice. She called on victims of rape and their families not to accept settlements or compromises with the rapists, because this could be a betrayal of the victim and lead to other girls and women being raped."
While I would agree that encouraging a culture of silence regarding violence against women is inherently destructive, accusing rape victims of betraying other women by trying to find their own form of closure is wrong. It is a form of victim blaming. Clearly rape is occurring at an extremely high rate, due to a history of male privilege, lack of prosecution, and a war. It is a well documented historical fact globally, that women are often viewed as the spoils of war. Regardless of the acts of any one individual, until the issues that lead to rape are dealt with, whether or not a woman chooses to negotiate with her rapist after the fact is irrelevant.
Men need to make a connection between their privilege and the damage that is caused by rape. Until society is educated and the rights of women validated this will continue to be a daily occurrence. When a child can be raped by a 65 year old pastor who claimed to be influenced by the devil, it speaks of a callous disregard for females. Rape is a crime against humanity and should be treated as such. This should include the prosecution of ALL acts of rape. No circumstances should be allowed to mitigate the seriousness of the crime, whether it is the devil, superstition or ignorance, women should not be laid waste to empower men. Amnesty International has demanded that "the protection of the rights of women and girls must be at the centre of all efforts to rebuild Liberia." What is unity, and peace without sanctifying the value of women?

THE Seven Network has increased its status as Australia's free-to-air racing broadcast partner after adding key spring and autumn dates in Melbourne and Sydney to its coverage of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, to end split racing coverage between Seven and Channel Nine.
In a landmark agreement between TVN and Seven, a raft of iconic group 1 race days formerly broadcast by Nine now join Seven.
The Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate carnivals in Melbourne and Sydney's BMW and Golden Slipper carnivals will form the backbone of Seven's racing coverage, along with its continued broadcast of Melbourne Cup week until at least 2018.
A total of 27 race days will make up Seven's racing coverage each year, with key spring carnival additions meaning that racing will be broadcast live from late August through to mid-November.

Alcopop raced 34 times, including 27 times at group or listed level, for 10 wins and six placings for earnings of almost $2 million. He contested two Caulfield Cups (2010, 2012) and a Melbourne Cup (2009).
"We've had a great ride with him and he doesn't owe us anything. The horse's long-term health and happiness was our No. 1 concern," Stephens said.

Sources from the production team say that Narayana is all set to tickle the funny bones in his new getup, which is going to be a treat for his fans.
However, Routine Love Story is produced by Mani Kumar and Chanakya Booneti under the banners of A Working Dream Production and Benchmark Movies. The makers say that though it is titled a Routine Love Story, the content is going to offer lot of variety. Mickey J Meyer is composing the music, while cinematographer Suresh handles the camera work for the movie, which is expected to hit screens soon.

Mortgage trusts, the $30 billion investment sector destroyed by the financial crisis, may have a future, according to
"There is solid evidence that investors are becoming increasingly confident of the future, with funds under management growing for those rated trusts that are actively open for deposits," Mr Christopher said at the release of SQM's annual Australian Mortgage Trust Sector Review.
"What few realise is that risk-adjusted returns in the sector have been better than most other asset classes over the past five years. Some funds in this space have been thriving, because they proved their worth through the very difficult market conditions of 2008." One leader in the sector, Balmain Group executive chairman
The sector failed in the GFC because it invested in long-term loans but offered immediate redemption.
Balmain's new product, Balmain Discrete Mortgage Income Trusts, allows investors to pick the mortgage, but the term of the investment must match the term of the loan. There is no promise of false liquidity. Mr Holm said that with investment returns of 6 per cent to 9 per cent, the product had so far attracted 75 investors.
SQM noted that another two old-style funds had failed during the year.

The Melting Pot is a beautiful oasis in the midst of all the huddle and bustle of Tangier! A beautiful traditional Moroccon building, the staff here provide all the information you need to make the most of your stay. Basic breakfast and facilities, not alot of privacy if you are a couple but great atmosphere, especially on the rooftop terrace!

Artemis Guesthouse made our stay in Selcuk! Muslim, Tom and all the staff were so friendly and incredibly helpful. They welcomed us with open arms and showed a genuine interest in looking after us for our two night stay. We stayed in a four bed room dorm which had plenty of space for four people. The ensuite is basic and small but otherwise no problem, except if you prefer your privacy. Breakfast was excellent and we loved spending time in the cute courtyard. Thank you!

UBC honours Japanese Canadian students sent to internment camps
The treatment of Japanese Canadians and Japanese nationals during the Second World War is a dark period of Canadian history – a period few Canadians fully understand or want to discuss. In 1942, 21,000 Japanese Canadians were forced to leave the west coast and their homes and were sent to internment camps. Now, 70 years later, UBC will honour 76 students who were unable to complete their university studies or missed their graduation ceremonies when they were sent away in 1942.
1942 Japanese Canadian UBC Students Fund: A fund has been created as a tribute to recognize the Japanese Canadian students of 1942. Donations will support the community-based research of the Asian Canadian Studies program, as part of UBC's commitment to educating future students about the injustices of the Second World War.

Polystar Containment Announces Facilities Move for Spill Prevention & Secondary Containment Operations in Northeast Ohio
Jul 17, 2013, 12:33 ET from Polystar Containment
STOW, Ohio, July 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With more and more industries becoming aware of EPA-mandated SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure) plan requirements for their operations, Polystar Containment – formerly of Twinsburg, Ohio – announces their move "down the road" to Stow, Ohio and much larger facilities in order to meet the growing demand for secondary containment and spill prevention products and systems for multiple industries.
In operation for 20 years, Polystar designs, manufactures and installs corrosion-resistant spill prevention and containment systems that prevent the accidental contamination of soil and water resources by fluids and chemicals during extraction processes, general operations and during transport between locations. Innovative, rugged and often-portable solutions such as Polystar's Star Track™ for rail containment and the Poly Dike MPE® system for drilling and fracking operations have helped the company grow tremendously in the past decade, and present facilities simply cannot accommodate current customer demand.
"With the enforcement of EPA regulations and companies embracing their responsibility to protect our environment, our products are in ever-increasing demand," explained Director of Sales Rob Nightwine of Polystar. "In order to meet this demand, we have doubled the size of our manufacturing space. Our new state of the art production facility includes a steel welding department, a fiberglass production department, a sandblasting department and additional space for added inventory. It's a great space for our work and we're excited about moving."
Planning for the future, Polystar executives have worked hard to ensure an orderly and very efficient transition to the new facilities and headquarters – production capabilities will be offline for a total of only 10 hours. The secondary containment firm's larger facilities are intended to address the needs of new customers more quickly than their competitors have the capacity to handle, which in turn will help them trust the Polystar product line and manufacturing process more easily as well.
As Nightwine explained it, "Our new facilities will permit quicker turnaround times with our expanded production capability. We will also have the luxury of added space for product inventory. With more product on hand, we can meet our customer's needs more efficiently. Everyone wins, including local environmental protection and business stock holders."
Commencing July 15, 2013, Polystar Containment's main operating and manufacturing facilities will be located at 1676 Commerce Drive, Stow, 44224, in Summit County of northeast Ohio.
About Polystar Containment
Polystar Containment designs, manufactures and installs corrosion-resistant secondary containment & spill prevention systems and solutions for multiple industries across North America, including oil & gas drilling, military & government, petroleum & liquid terminal, farms & ranches, and hydraulic fracturing entities. Makers of such innovative and effective solutions as the Poly Dike™, Camel® and Envirohut™, Polystar works hard to provide our customers with SPCC-compliant products that keep them in business while protecting natural resources.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Greetings and thank you for the request,
Please describe the transaction for which the subsidiary accrued the 100K in 2007 in regards XXXXX XXXXX and when the services, or delivery of product or whatever economic performance will (or has) been performed.
Also does the 100K include any amount that is held in inventory, was expensed or will be recorded on the books of the parent company for the 2007 that would correspond to the income? In other words, would the delay in reporting the income cause the parent's books to not accurately reflect the actual economic performance for 2007?
I do not have; but can look for something in regard to DR corporate taxation within a day or two.
Thank you for the additional information.
Hello again,
As you may know, the rules for related party transactions are found in IRC section 267
While an accrual-basis taxpayer usually takes an expense in the year it accrues, when the expense is owed to a related party who uses the cash basis of accounting, then section 267(a)(2) prevents the deduction for the accrual-basis taxpayer until the year in which the related party includes the amount in gross income, that is, the year of actual payment.
There is also a subsection in regard to controlled foreign corporations that says in part:
"...a deduction shall be allowable to the payor with respect to such amount for any taxable year before the taxable year in which paid only to the extent that an amount attributable to such item is includible ( ...) during such prior taxable year in the gross income of a United States person who owns ( ...) stock in such corporation."
Please note that a controlled group is defined in section 267 as has the meaning given to such term by section 1563(a), except that "more than 50 percent" is used instead of "at least 80 percent" each place it appears in Section 1563(a), and the determination shall be made without regard to subsections (a)(4) and (e)(3)(C) of section 1563.
So, your disinclination is on target; but it works to delay the deduction until the income is included in the gross income of the US person.
This answer does not consider the accounting rules that may be required for inclusion of multiple year leases or contracts in the income of the cash basis taxpayer.
I hope this helps, as always.
Best regards.
You are quite welcome.
In regard to the DR corporate tax, the article Incorporating in the Dominican Republic has a description of the corporate tax; but I do not have a reference that has more detailed information at this time.
Dominican corporations are subject to the following taxes:(1) Income Tax. The income tax rate for Dominican corporations is a flat 25% on net income. Interest on debt is tax deductible. Law #557-95 temporarily raised the tax rate to 30% for the year 2006, 29% for 2007 and 27% for 2008. In 2009, the tax rate will revert to 25%.For corporations whose fiscal year coincides with the calendar year, annual tax returns must be filed on or before April 30, even in the case of companies which have no income or business activity. Filings are done at the offices of the Bureau of Internal Taxes ("Dirección General de Impuestos Internos"). For corporations with an authorized capital of RD$50,000 pesos or more, the tax filing must be accompanied by corporate financial statements audited by a Certified Public Accountant.(2) Tax on Assets. Corporations must pay an annual 1% tax on their assets ("Impuesto sobre Activos"). This tax functions as a kind of minimum tax since amounts paid are deducted from the amount due for corporate income tax.(3) Value-Added Tax ("Impuesto a la Transferencia de Bienes Industrializados y Servicios - ITBIS") Most corporate transactions are subject to a 16% valued-added tax ("ITBIS").Corporations must also act as withholding agents for dividends, payroll and other taxes
See also An Overview of Dominican Tax Law
So, indeed there are several taxes that may be due in teh Dominican Republic.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service, again.

Petsaver-NC Rescue
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Visit our Facebook page at facebook.com/petsavernc to view happy ending photos and see our volunteers working with the pets.
Petsaver-NC Rescue is a volunteer foster home program in central North Carolina with many adorable pets looking for forever homes as indoor family companions. Our caring volunteers are dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of abandoned or surrendered dogs, puppies, and occasionally cats. We also currently have several large rescued ponies looking for long term homes. All animals are rescued from local county kill shelters where they are temperament tested prior to acceptance into the rescue program. All foster dogs are provided appropriate medical care including vaccinations for rabies and 4 way combo, intestinal deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea prevention, vet exams, emergency medical care, and spaying or neutering prior to adoption. Many have started basic obedience training and crate training. Adoption donation is $195 for dogs and $135 for cats which partially offsets the food and medical expenses for the rescue. Adoption fee for the ponies varies. We offer a two week trial period with refund of adoption fee to ensure a smooth transition to a permanent home. Adopters are given educational resources to prepare them for pet ownership. Petsaver-NC Rescue makes a commitment to take an animal back into its rescue program should the adopter become unable to keep the animal. As the animals are socialized in foster care, our volunteers know their personalities and can guide adopters to the right match. We want you to be pleased with the pet you adopt from Petsaver NC so you will give that animal a long, happy life in your home.
View Current Animals for Adoption
View photos and descriptions of pets presently available for adoption through Petsaver-NC Rescue. Click on the animal's name or picture for additional pictures and a detailed description of the pet. Use the right vertical bar to scroll down for additional dogs. Click "next" at the bottom of the pet list to view the next page of pet photos and descriptions.
Gallery of Petsaver-NC Adopted Animals
Click on the "Gallery of Petsaver-NC Adopted Animals" above to view some of the animals already adopted from Petsaver-NC Rescue to forever homes. These fortunate animals have been placed in forever homes and are no longer available for adoption.
Petsaver-NC invites you to join us in the effort to find homes for rescued dogs. We currently need volunteers to socialize dogs, teach them basic commands and leash walking, or take dogs on outings to expose them to new life experiences. We welcome scouts and home schooled groups as well as students looking for some volunteer community service hours. While you're walking for exercise or to lose weight, why not take a dog with you who needs some human attention? If you love animals and want to join the mission to find forever homes for rescued dogs and pups, a Petsaver-NC representative would love to talk with you about volunteer opportunities. It's rewarding to see an uncertain rescued dog transform into a more adoptable, confident dog because you took the time to help.Students earning the Durham Mayor's Award, Presidential Award, or school service hours may enjoy animal welfare activities while earning necessary hours. Petsaver-NC currently works with several high schools to provide community service hours and internships. Email us at email@example.com for more information.
Petsaver-NC Rescue appreciates donations of the following new or used items: towels and blankets, dog bedding, used clothing that might be used as rags or crate bedding, stuffed toys, tennis balls, metal or plastic bowls, adult dog and puppy food (dry or canned), plastic or metal crates, collars, leashes, paper towels, hand sanitizer, rawhide treats, bleach, ammonia, disinfectants, flea prevention products, Kuranda dog beds, copy paper, and any type shampoo. Thanks for any items you can donate!!!
How to Adopt a Petsaver-NC Pet
So now that you've fallen in love with a pet's photo, what's the next step? Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for an adoption application. Once you submit the completed adoption application, the animal's foster caregiver will schedule a convenient time for you to meet the pet. Applicants must be at least 22 years old and financially independent.
Where to Meet Petsaver-NC Animals
Petsaver-NC is not a facility. It is a network of volunteer foster caregivers who keep foster animals safely in their homes until the animals are adopted by a permanent family. Petsaver-NC does not have regular public visitation hours. Meet pets at the foster home or other convenient location after your online application has been submitted. Request an application at firstname.lastname@example.com.

MOST of the thoughts this week have been about how the Wanderers are going to get out of the mess we are in, waiting for action on and off the pitch.
With David Ngog and surprisingly Mark Davies not even on the bench on Saturday, then it looks like there might be some movement on the transfer front this week.
The match was a dour affair, played in a graveyard atmosphere and in awful weather between two sides competing for who had the least confidence.
To our credit, we more than matched Cardiff. The defence looked solid and Cardiff's only shot on target was their goal, which came about from an uncharacteristic fumble from Andy Lonergan.
We managed to create a few chances which were missed by a combination of good goalkeeping, woeful finishing and an unlucky deflection which prevented Chung-Yong Lee putting us one up just before the interval. But to be honest, the entertainment level barely exceeded watching paint dry.
There were no answers to our current plight, particularly up front.
Our options are extremely limited with Jermaine Beckford injured and Ngog going. We can hardly play two strikers when we only have one half-fit striker in the squad.
Craig Davies looked so far off the pace, I regretted my decision not to bring my boots and offer my services to the team.
There was a missed opportunity to blood one of our own young strikers.
Back to the Championship, it is difficult to see where the next points are going to come from with matches coming up against QPR and Ipswich away - tough places at the best of times.
The last time I was at Loftus Road was the 7-1 hammering more than 30 years ago. But I'll be there along with the faithful on Tuesday night and hopefully, there will be a flurry of activity this week to give everyone a much-needed boost.

Kentucky net farm income is expected to dip to less than $1.5 billion in 2016, down from $1.7 billion in 2015 and potentially its lowest level since 2010. A significant decline in cash receipts the past couple of years, plus the end of tobacco buyout payments in 2014, have been the major reasons behind the rapid fall in Kentucky's net farm income since peaking at nearly $3 billion in 2013.
Farmers in ten southeastern Kentucky counties may be eligible for federal aid under an agricultural disaster declaration issued as a result of the ongoing drought throughout the Commonwealth.
"The drought that has gripped Kentucky in recent months has been especially hard on farmers," Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said. "Crops have been affected, and livestock producers have been forced to feed hay earlier than usual because their pastures are depleted. This aid will provide much-needed resources for Kentucky farmers."

Once autumn leaves have fallen, mistletoe becomes highly visible on large trees throughout Kentucky. Phoradendron, the scientific name for Kentucky's most common variety of this parasitic plant, means tree thief. These small leafy plants are commonly found on twigs and branches of many hardwood species in the southern United States. Mistletoe extracts—steals— water, mineral elements and food from tree hosts; hence the name.
Many LaRue County residents burn firewood as their main source of heat during the winter. Others use it to supplement their heating sources. For many families that means purchasing wood. To gain the most from your investment, pay attention to the seasoning, density and quantity of firewood.

Laurie Taylor feels a chilli in the air
I was seriously beginning to think that Marian might be the one for me, that she had that very special combination of looks, intelligence and sensitivity which I'd been unsuccessfully searching for most of my life, when I called into a pub in Upper Holborn on the way home from work one evening and found her sitting in the corner of the bar, sharing a drink, and what had obviously been an extremely funny story, with my ex-wife.
"What were you and she laughing about?"
"We were just having a drink together. We ran into each other accidentally and decided to have a drink together. That was it."
"I could see that you and she were having a drink together. And frankly I'm not terribly interested in how fate might have contrived your meeting. But I did just want to know what you were both finding so very funny."
"It wasn't anything specific. We were simply having a laugh."
"About what?"
"It wasn't anything to do with you if that's what you're thinking". She stared into my eyes in the manner recommended for liars by cheap novelists. "Believe-it or-not-we-weren't-actually-talking-about-you."
Later that night as we lay slumped against each on the sofa watching an item on Newsnight about an outbreak of ritual horse stabbing in Norfolk, I suddenly felt a slight vibration. And another. I turned to Marian. She was shaking with uncontrollable laughter. Even as I looked at her she brought both her hands up to her mouth and emitted an hysterical wail.
"I'm sorry but I can't help it," she stammered in between sobs of laughter. "It was something your wife said about you."
"My ex-wife. And what did my ex-wife say about me in a conversation which we've already established was not about me?"
"She said," and Marian had to look away for a moment in order to compose herself. "She said that whatever I did I should try at all costs to avoid one of your … one of your … one of your … chilli con carnes." As I roughly disentangled myself from her still shaking body, I could see her full face for the first time. It had a pleading look. She was daring to suggest that I might like to join in the joke.
She could not have been more mistaken. But then she could not have known that for the best part of 30 years I have regarded my chilli con carne as evidence that if I turned my mind to it I was capable of doing something that might well, be described as creative. I didn't delude myself. My chilli was not exactly a novel or a slim volume of poetry or a sculpture, but it was in some small way a personal expression of taste and judgement. It was what might be called my signature dish.
But now that I looked at Marian's tear-stained face I was forced to entertain the suspicion that for years I'd been cooking my chilli for people who had not properly relished the manner in which I chopped the garlic and the onion, the way I'd carefully browned the meat before adding the chillies and tinned tomatoes, the insistence I'd shown on only pouring the carefully washed kidney beans into the casserole just twenty minutes before serving, and the sheer ingenuity of that last-minute teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.
I bit the bullet. "And what is so very funny about my chilli?" Marian made a big effort to compose her face.
"Well," she began, "apparently you spend nearly an hour doing all your chopping and slicing and messing about and then after all that labour what you finally serve it up is what your wife called a bowl of burning hot slop which …" At this point Marian once again yielded to giggles while I sat up very straight and waited. "Burning hot slop," I prompted.
"Yes, that's right, a bowl of burning hot slop which looks like yesterday's cat's dinner. And the funny thing, the really funny thing, is that you think it's terribly good and you keep on telling people what you put in it as though the ingredients of a chilli were normally a state secret and then you ask everyone else to say it's good and not at all like the bland chillis you get in the gastropubs and how it makes a difference if you wash the kidney beans and put in a teaspoonful of some sort of vinegar and meanwhile they're all choking over their next mouthful and still having to go, 'Oh my word this is fantastic.'"
Marian and I parted shortly after that evening. We found that we had some irreconcilable differences over the early writings of Thomas Pynchon. There was also the problem of her expression. Whereas I'd previously been rather taken by the cheerful insouciance of her face I now realised that this was very much diminished by the mild sneer that constantly played about her lips.
I've not cooked my special chilli con carne recently. Instead I've been working up my rather personal version of a meat and chicken paella. I expect to be trying it out on a brand-new friend in the near future. Just as soon as I can find an attractive and intelligent and sensitive woman without any sense of humour.

this is quite possibly my favourite position especially when my guy takes complete control of my arms and legs so that all I can do is lay there and take it... i'm getting wet just thinking about it
To get in to the Deck Chair position, the receiver lays on their back, pivots their hips so that their legs are in the air, and then bends their knees while the giver enters from a kneeling position while supporting some of their weight on the receiver's legs. A favorite of many men because of the sense of power that comes from folding their partner, the position definitely doesn't leave the receiver out. When the giver leans on the receiver legs, it improves the angle of penetration to better target the g-spot or prostate gland.
(For the more flexible, the receiver can pivot the hips higher to place the calves on the giver's shoulders; see the Folded Deck Chair).
i awoke early this morning to the wifes bare ass rubbing against me. i reached around and found he pussy was already wet. i rolled her onto her back and positioned myself above her as she gripped my sides with her legs.
i slipped into her slowly and started makig long deep strokes with my cock, she was getting wetter with every stroke. i forced her to the "folding deck chair" and started pumping her faster, with short strokes, i knew i has hitting her gspot when she started clawing at my back.
i knew i was reading to explode inside her when i felt her pussy clamp down on my cock, this wa s asure sign she was reading to do her "old faithful" impression, i was to cum and pulled out quickly, just as i did her pussy let loose, soaking my belly and legs, as i shot my load onto her bare pussy lips.
i let her legs down, and lowered myself between her legs....
OMG Thank
Fucked my girl in this position every day for the six we were in bed together. She enjoys watching my shaft drive deep into her pussy and she likes to reach down and caress my balls as I am pounding her. I find that very erotic and it makes me thrust even harder until we both have orgasms.
my boyfriend absolutely loves this one. Since he's big and thick being 9 inches he can really get to fucking me good and hard just as we like. I love the fact that I can run my nails down his chest as he watches me. Just seeing this is making me all wet and horny.
this is by far one of the favs. its really easy to get into. love looking into my girls eyes when i give her deep thrusts, lots of kissing, sucking her tits. its great b/c she gets the biggest orgasms, her pussy tightens and i cum deep in her.
its a must try if you want a deep fucking
love this position, when we kiss and he moves slowly, great feeling to be near to him, see him in his eyes when he begins to move faster..
OMG Thank
Did this position from the Missionary with my "Wide Receiver" four times a day, for an hour or more per session, during the week we were at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas. The bed was in front of the balcony glass door and we screwed day and night with the curtains wide open. Very sexual, fucking before the whole world far below. We enjoyed the full view of Vegas below as we were thrusting and we also enjoyed the view of my cock glistening from her juices as it thrust in and out. Also, orgasms in that setting were particularly enjoyable for both of us!
sooo want to try this but my fiance and i have a huge height difference. He's 6'4 and got long legs i'm 5'0 and have short legs and a long torso. We can do the cross easy but things like this is hard because my hips are too low even when he's kneeling. Any idea how to fix this and any other positions which would be good for us?
the pillow might be the best way and your fiance is a lucky man you look amazing;)
Put a pillow under your seat. Not only will this raise you up, but will also provide a better angle for him to enter you.
My husband and I did this last night on the floor. I was literally begging him to penetrate me deep. It was amazing!
I and GF have sex every night and like all position of sex
ok, so im 16 and my bf and i r secretly dating, we have no choice but to have sex in the back of his car, we have been doing the same thing now for months, we need something new that we could do in a car, nebody have ne sugestionss?? ty ~LA
Trust me - this feels excellent and if you put a pillow under yr bum he gets in really deep. I call it a magic pillow cos it feels magic!!
I absolutely love this position. Its great when you really want it deep, and its so hard to stay quiet when others are home in the other room (parents)
Hubby and I use this position frequently. We usually start in the missionary position and progress to this.
I think me and my bf may try this next time we get together hehehe
My girl friend and I were together for 4 days after a long absence and we made love almost the entire time, losing count of our orgasms. In this position, I pounded her as deep as possible while withdrawing almost completely. This made it so we could watch my cock plunge into her which she finds exciting as do I. It was especially enjoyable to see my cock glistening from her wetness. Then, I took her into the Folded Deckchair position. (go to "Folded Deck Chair"). (Go to Drill, Sybian, Dancer, Cowgirl, Butterfly, Cross, Folded Deck Chair, Scissors, Missionary, Missionary Inverted, Spread Eagle, Victory, and Usual.)
i wanna try this!! it seem like it would make m orgasm a looot lol
For some reason i love to watch too. its not just her. It turns me on even more!
I love doing this position... you get such deep penetration with this. I love going from this to putting my legs on the guys shoulders and they get it all in and I am screaming with pleasure.... getting me horny just thinking about it! ;)
This position always gets me horny! It is a very good one that can go very deep if you have the right guy doing it.
A friend of mine told me about this position, so we tried it.. :) AMAZING!! He has a large penis, and it went so deep. At first it hurt, but next thing ya know I was screaming out in pleasure! I can't wait to be with him again. :)

Weird double play to end the Pensacola half of the third.
Greene and Guzman draw one-out walks and then this happened:
How far was Greene off of second to be doubled up with a relay man in the middle?David Vidal flies into double play, right fielder Chih-Hsien Chiang to first baseman Steven Proscia to shortstop Nick Franklin. Brodie Greene doubled off 2nd.

They can definitely be impulse buys, which is probably why so many bricks & mortar stores stock them (at least, in the UK); I impulse bought one for my parents, although I had wandered by for a few weeks considering buying them one. I probably wouldn't have bothered to order them one from Amazon, as it wouldn't have fit in with my impulse urge.
I've also been tempted to buy a Kindle Touch from a store for myself, walking passed the stand on numerous occasions. I want a Paperwhite now, so will have to go down the internet route, but if I'd bought a Touch it would have been on impulse in a store rather than having to waiting 48 looooong hours for an internet order!
