Obama's Ideological Brinkmanship
We knew it would come to this, but we weren't sure until when until the Obama administration announced the contraception mandate; even then, we weren't sure when exactly it would be explicitly spelled out by the leadership of the Church. I am referring to the U.S. bishop's recent statement declaring, among other things, the following:
It is a sobering thing to contemplate our government enacting an unjust law. An unjust law cannot be obeyed. In the face of an unjust law, an accommodation is not to be sought, especially by resorting to equivocal words and deceptive practices. If we face today the prospect of unjust laws, then Catholics in America, in solidarity with our fellow citizens, must have the courage not to obey them. No American desires this. No Catholic welcomes it. But if it should fall upon us, we must discharge it as a duty of citizenship and an obligation of faith.
It is essential to understand the distinction between conscientious objection and an unjust law. Conscientious objection permits some relief to those who object to a just law for reasons of conscience—conscription being the most well-known example. An unjust law is "no law at all." It cannot be obeyed, and therefore one does not seek relief from it, but rather its repeal. (Emphasis added)
In making this statement, the bishops have echoed Pope Leo XIII's statement in his encyclical Libertas: "But where the power to command is wanting, or where a law is enacted contrary to reason, or to the eternal law, or to some ordinance of God, obedience is unlawful, lest, while obeying man, we become disobedient to God."
I was deeply disappointed with the bishop's support for Obamacare, and I still reject the wholly prudential argument that a national healthcare scheme is required to secure some sort of "human right" for people in this country. I especially reject the notion that a militantly secular regime such as Obama's could ever be entrusted to secure such a right. One can only hope that the lesson was learned, and that it is not too late.
Turning to the President himself, by going down this path he is waging a campaign of political and ideological brinkmanship. I think it is pretty clear that the bishops, not to mention other faithful Catholics who will resist this unjust law, are prepared to suffer for their principles. The question is, will Obama become a (manifest) tyrant to enforce his? If the Supreme Court strikes down Obamacare, the issue will be moot. If it doesn't, he still has an election to win. I'm not sure whether caving on this issue would hurt him more than attempting to force it as far as his electoral prospects are concerned: I'll leave that for another post (and the com-boxers: have fun).
Finally, I hope that those "out there" in secular and Protestant America who have concerns about or who actively oppose Obama will come to realize what I came to realize not long ago: that the Church, contrary to being some kind of enemy of political liberty, is actually one of its greatest benefactors. Even if you cannot appreciate the spiritual mission of the Church, the fact that it divides men's loyalties and gives them something other than the will of the state to share their obedience with has been irritating tyrants for ages.

Thank you, Bonchamps! Shared on Facebook!
I believe it was Edmund Burke who said, "An unjust law is the worst form of tyranny."
Too many Catholics have embraced a false notion of the relationship between religion and politics. Basing themselves on Suarez's interpretation of St Thomas, they have talked of a "natural order," governed by Natural Law, consisting of truths accessible to unaided human reason, as something that can be kept separate from the supernatural truths revealed in the Gospel. "Under such circumstances, the supernatural is no longer properly speaking another order, something unprecedented, overwhelming and transfiguring" (Henri de Lubac)
It was this that led Laberthonnière, a hundred years ago now, to accuse the Neo-Thomists of his day of ""a false theological notion of some state of pure nature and therefore imagined the state could be self-sufficient in the sense that it could be properly independent of any specifically Christian sense of justice."
It led his friend and contemporary, Maurice Blondel, to insist that we must never forget "that one cannot think or act anywhere as if we do not all have a supernatural destiny. Because, since it concerns the human being such as he is, in concreto, in his living and total reality, not in a simple state of hypothetical nature, nothing is truly complete (boucle), even in the sheerly natural order"
Jacques Maritain, too, declared that "the knowledge of human actions and of the good conduct of the human State in particular can exist as an integral science, as a complete body of doctrine, only if related to the ultimate end of the human being. . . the rule of conduct governing individual and social life cannot therefore leave the supernatural order out of account"
Unless we insist, in Blondel's words, that we can "find only in the spirit of the gospel the supreme and decisive guarantee of justice and of the moral conditions of peace, stability, and social prosperity," we shall inevitable acquiesce in practice in the Liberal privatisation of religion.
Michael Paterson-Seymour: "a natural order" is inscribed in our Declaration of Independence: "the laws of nature and nature's God". To change our founding principles ratified 236 years ago, requires a change by two-thirds of the states agreeing to the change. It IS that simple. Joseph Suarez based on Saint Thomas Aquinas (saints are in heaven with God), Suarez says: "Human existence (from God) is the criterion for the objective ordering of human rights" Human existence begins when two become one flesh and our Creator gives the child a sovereign personhood endowed with unalienable rights to life. Obamacare is one rung in the ladder of one world government under one world bank instead of under God, disallowing the soul of man, because the soul of man cries out to God to be heard and the soul of man will be heard. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Gorbachev, Putin, they can wait, there are many waitng in the shadows for the one world shadow government under the world bank to step center stage. They show the face of Dr. Jekyl. If they showed the face of Mr. Hyde, who would vote for them, or trust them. In God we trust, "our Creator"
"I was deeply disappointed with the bishop's support for Obamacare, and I still reject the wholly prudential argument that a national healthcare scheme is required to secure some sort of "human right" for people in this country. I especially reject the notion that a militantly secular regime such as Obama's could ever be entrusted to secure such a right. One can only hope that the lesson was learned, and that it is not too late."
Unfortunately I don't think they will. Many are still bound by the current, disordered sense of social justice. It was this disordered sense of justice that brought about support for Obama's health care reform.
Hilaire Belloc summed it up very well, when he said that "Catholic life is not normal to a society unless Catholic morals and doctrine be supreme therein. Unless the morals of the Faith appear fully in the laws of that society, unless it be the established and authoritative religion of that society, the Church is ill at ease… She proposes to take in men's minds even more than the place taken by patriotism; to influence the whole of society, not a part of it, and to influence it even more thoroughly than a common language. Where She is confronted by any agency inimical to Her claim, though that agency be not directly hostile, She cannot but oppose it."
It is the failure to keep this truth before our minds and the acceptance of a compromise that proposed a government founded on merely natural principles and, guided by human reason, pursuing merely natural ends that has brought us to this pass.
As for "Nature and Nature's God," Pascal warned us, "All those who seek God apart from Christ, and who go no further than nature, either find no light to satisfy them or come to devise a means of knowing and serving God without a mediator, thus falling into either atheism or deism, two things almost equally abhorrent to Christianity… They imagine that it simply consists in worshipping God considered to be great and mighty and eternal, which is properly speaking deism, almost as remote from the Christian religion as atheism." This is the God of the Phiosophes, not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Phillip: "I was deeply disappointed with the bishop's support for Obamacare, and I still reject the wholly prudential argument that a national healthcare scheme is required to secure some sort of "human right" for people in this country. " Healthcare is CHARITY, a voluntary virtue. One of man's responses to the gift of Faith from God. CHARITY comes under the FREEDOM OF RELIGION First Amendment Freedom.
Michael Paterson-Seymour: The Declaration of Independence is our founding principle to which all people must adhere or change with two-thirds of the states ratifying. This is Important because the atheists are telling us to go find two-thirds of the states to reratify the laws already in place such as the right to LIFE and that all men are created EQUAL. Founded on "Divine Providence" our country continues its being through virtue. Virtue is America's lifeline. What Pascal said is happening right now, without Christ. Let me continue this. I am late for Mass.
"What failure? It was never done to begin with. This country was founded by Freemasons.
"We" really had no role in this. It is the society that was given to us. And so to some extent we have to operate within its framework."
It is one thing to accept the inevitable and to operate with the institutions one has, as Leo XIII exhorted French Catholics to do, when he called on them to "rally to the Republic," explaining that a distinction must be drawn between the form of government, which ought to be accepted, and its laws which ought to be improved. It is another to treat the state's rejection of "traditional Catholic doctrine on the moral duty of men and societies toward the true religion and toward the one Church of Christ," as Dignitatis Humanae puts it as somehow good or desirable in itself, as so many Catholics have done, and not only those on the Left.
"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's": Caesar belongs to God. Constituted through the sovereign personhood and unalienable rights of each and every created equal, endowed citizen, government is under God, born of the free will endowed by our Creator, Divine Justice, authentic authority, and humble service. Government does not create life, nor personhood, nor man. Government gives citizenship. Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, is perfect Charity. Jesus Christ as man loves. Jesus Christ as God is LOVE. The virtue of CHARITY as all virtues and vices is practiced through the consent and free will of the person. The virtue of charity is voluntary, that is, practiced through the free will and consent of man. Levying taxes to effect the virtue of charity without the free will and consent of the tax payers is extortion. The will of God expressed through the voice of the people is the duty of government. Obamacare, in the practice of the vices of abortion, contraception and euthanasia, violates the will of God, our Creator. Obamacare, in levying taxes without the will and consent of the people is extortion. Jesus Christ laid down His life for us and Christ took His life up again. In Christ, man has eternal life. Embraced, Jesus Christ is FREEDOM.
In 2013, in Maryland, gay marriage becomes law. Who told governor O'Malley to deny the rational, immortal souls of the participants, of his constituents and of God? It was not God Who told O'Malley. God said: "Thou shall not lay with a man as with a woman" (biblical note to follow) God has become HATE SPEECH. For the common good? for our own good? REALLY? Government of the people, for the people and by the people has perished from the face of the earth.
Bonchamps: The Declaration of Independence was ratified by every state before the War for Independence. That makes the Declaration of Independence law. The Declaration of Indpendence was never nulled and void, or abrogated or unratified. In fact, the U.S. Constitution begins by saying: "in the twelveth year of our Independence…" sure sounds to me like the Founding Fathers built our country, our freedom and our independence on the Declaration of Independence as the absolute minimum. Please show me where our Independence as inscribed in our Declaration of Indpendence is proscribed and do not go with unjust law.
Bonchamps: Every man woman and child, there were three generations who fought for independence, who fought and died, died in vain, for a founding principle that no longer exists? The Declaration of Independence gave birth to America, July 4th 1776. The Statue of Liberty holds that Declaration in her left hand. The U.S. Constitution defines the government, not the nation. There would be no United States of America nation if the Declaration were not ratified (ratification is a vote by the people). July 4th is our nation, the United States of America's birthday, unrepealed and unrepentant. The Declaration of Independence is our people. The U.S. Constitution is our government. Where were you when Obama, as sitting president, and on video, no less than three times, recited the Declaration of Independence omitting "our Creator", as the endower of our omitted and neglected "unalienable rights" Oh, yes, The Declaration of Independence is very much alive and well, except in Obama's regime.
WK Aiken: Headache. "WE", the people and "WE" hold these truths to be self evident are the same "WE". Government by the people prevails over government by the government. Put the Declaration of Independence on the ballot since Bonchamps thinks that it is not a law.
"There were Church councils that called for all Christian princes to suppress public Islamic worship on the sole grounds that it was offensive to God (not to preserve public order or anything like that)."
Dignitatis excludes coercion in matters of religion by the civil power, "dummodo iustus ordo publicus servetur" [Provided the just demands of public order are observed]
"Public order" is a technical term in the Civilian or Roman Law tradition and is much wider than "keeping the peace" ; its nearest English equivalent is "public policy," or "in the public interest." Thus, the provision in the Code Civil on Respect for the Human Body, which declares (inter alia) that the human body, its parts and products cannot be the object of ownership – "Les dispositions du présent chapitre sont d'ordre public," literally "The dispositions of the present chapter pertain to public order" appears in the official English translation (on the Legifrance website) as, "These provisions are mandatory."
National security, public safety, the economic well-being of the country, the prevention of disorder or crime and the protection of health or morals all fall within the concept of "ordo publicus" and are regularly so described in legislation.
Without the Declaration of Independence there would be no "Law of the Land". There is no either, or, but both. Clarification: The Declaration of Independence is our founding principle without which no one can be or become a citizen. The atheist says there is no God. God is existence. The atheist would annihilate himself if that were true, but the atheist needs God to annihilate himself.
Jurisdiction over the newly begotten sovereign soul in the womb belongs to our founding principle: The Declaration of Independence. Jurisdiction over sovereign souls who are given birth belongs to the United States Constitution as the Law of the Land. The U.S. Constitution as the Law of the Land has no jurisdiction over the newly begotten soul in the womb, neither through abortion nor taxation, except to enforce our founding principles: that all men are created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. The right to privacy inheres in the Declaration of Independence, all or nothing at all. This is borne out in foreign individuals who come to America as diplomats, have diplomatic immunity, therefore, cannot be tried under the Law of the Land. Foreign criminals too, must be sent back. Only for laying in wait and killing a man (capital one premeditated homicide) must a man be put to death. Being unwanted is not a crime for execution, especially after being invited by the parents. (We are not Vlad the Impaler.) These persons must be treated with all courtesy through good will and good will is expected of them but they are not citizens. When the sovereign person enters the world through birth the United States acknowledges him with citizenship and he must keep the Law of the Land, according the our founding principle: The Declaration of Independence. Without The Declaration of Independence, our Constitution becomes whatever anybody says it is, subjective interpretation without any sovereign authority, except that which comes from the interpreter. The sovereign person in the womb who is about to be aborted is denied and cannot constitute our sovereign nation. It is the will of our Creator that any and all persons be created. The Declaration of Independence establishes our nation and the Law of the Land, that is why The Declaration of Independence is called our founding principle. Perhaps it is time to try the Declaration of Independence in court under the Law of the Land.
Bonchamps says:
The Declaration of Independence has NO legal standing whatsoever. Wile I agree that it contains the founding principles of the nation, and that this makes it in many respects as important if not MORE important than the Constitution, it is not itself law. It is not subject to any vote.
Bonchamps: I beg to differ with you and your interpretation of our founding principles.
The Declaration of Independence, "We, hold these truths to be self-evident" defines a sovereign person as created equal and endowed with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, an individual member of the species, Homo Sapiens, and as belonging to humanity as a human being composed of human body and metaphysical, rational, immortal soul. The Declaration of Independence secures the individual human being's place among the nations of the world. The Declaration of Independence ought to be the marching orders for the United Nations. Alas and alack it is not.
The Constitution for the United States of America defines the American citizen's rights and privileges under the Supreme Law of the Land. These rights are inscribed in the Preamble: "We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Aborting our constitutional Posterity is not in the Law of the Land. Redefining the human person as having no soul to legalize abortion, or same sex union, or chattel of the state, is impossible and counter to constitutional law. Redefining the existence of God and the Supreme Sovereign Being as a servant of the people is neither constitutional nor predicated on Justice and independence. Disenfranchising the parishioners of the Catholic church of their right to engage in ministry, according to their rational conscience removes the path for any and all people, especially atheists to find a way into religion, (an individual's personal and free will response to the gift of Faith from God), and the exercise of rational thought as expression of the rational soul and the freedom of suffrage, the vote. "or prohibit the free exercise thereof." There is no separation of the freedom of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. It is only when peoples start redefining the reality of our Creator and His persons, that men and government lose their meaning. As an aside: When in Roe v. Wade the woman wanted to kill her child, the child became a ward of the court, a ward of the court, the court allowed to be killed.
and in a very small voice, I say that the Person of God is the Person for Whom the Constitution was written.
"…and in a very small voice, I say that the Person of God is the Person for Whom the Constitution was written."
I don't think the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence for that matter were written "for" God. But certainly their foundation and basis is God.
Paul W. Primavera: The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were framed for the PERSON. Jesus Christ is both a human and a Divine PERSON. Pope John Paul II said that when one person's rights are denied, all persons' rights are denied. The Person of Jesus Christ is a citizen of the world, the Sovereign King. The Person of Jesus Christ is denied acknowledgement in the public square. This is contrary to all men being created equal. Christ in His human nature is a man with equal civil rights. As you know Jesus, in His human nature, life was taken from Him, His liberty was denied to Him, and of course He is being even now, forbidden to pursue His Happiness. This happens when Jesus' name is forbidden in public. The Person of Jesus Christ had to be banned before God's children could be murdered in the womb. It is the sovereign personhood of the newly begotten human being who's soul is being torn from his body in abortion. We are all one in the mystical Body of Christ. If some in public office do not respect the PERSON of Jesus Christ, how can they respect any of us or themselves? The PERSON is WHO we are at our core. THE PERSON IS IMMUTABLE. The PERSON is a PERSON, is a PERSON ALWAYS.(from the work of Rev. James Lentini) The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are ratified for the PERSON, by the PERSON and through the PERSON. Thank you Paul W. Primavera for corresponding. I am learning the Ave Maria in Greek. WOW. I have tried Bonchamps patience, brother McClarey's kindness and very much enjoy your friendship. One Hail Mary
Av? Mar?a, gr?ti? pl?na,
Dominus t?cum.
Benedicta t? in mulieribus,
et benedictus fr?ctus ventris tu?, I?sus.
S?ncta Mar?a, M?ter De?,
?r? pr? n?b?s pecc?t?ribus,
nunc et in h?r? mortis nostrae.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
And for good measure, the ancient Greek version as well (which reads a little differently) (hope the Greek letters come out OK):
??????? ???????, ?????, ???????????? ?????,
? ?????? ???? ???. ?????????? ?? ?? ???????,
??? ??????????? ? ?????? ??? ??????? ???,
??? ?????? ?????? ??? ????? ????.
Paul W Primavera says:
"…and in a very small voice, I say that the Person of God is the Person for Whom the Constitution was written."
"I don't think the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence for that matter were written "for" God. But certainly their foundation and basis is God."
The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were written for "THE PERSON OF GOD", and "with" God, July 4th in the year of Our Lord, 1776.
One nation under God means that the judges of the Supreme Court for the United States of America recognize and acknowledge that they are the personification of almighty God's absolute and merciful Justice when they are called upon to be JUSTICE. The executive executes the Supreme Law of the Land UNDER GOD through the JUSTICES, the personification of God's Justice, and the souls of his constituents. The Congress of all men speaks the will of the people. Only TRUTH will be spoken, only TRUTH will be heard or the Congress of all men will have betrayed the nation and committed perjury in the Court. This is possible, practical and privileged through the rational, immortal soul of each and every person, to be represented; his constituency to be acknowledged and to be accorded the endowed unalienable rights of the children of God, by the children of men.
The atheist, secular humanist, heretic, fallen away from God repudiates his own human soul as having perfection in almighty God, and renders unto Caesar imperfection and more imperfection, denying the newly conceived (constitutional) posterity, created in original innocence, virginity and perfect charity, the only person deserving endowed, unalienable rights, the truth about their sovereign personhood, their constituency in establishing one nation UNDER GOD, and their adoption into the family of God.

The 'Come and Get It' singer was reportedly introduced to the 'Lego House' hitmaker over Memorial Day Weekend by their mutual friend.
Selena Gomez's relationship with Justin Bieber is reportedly over for good, despite occasional sightings of the two going out together, and she now has moved on. Sources tell Us Weekly that the "Come & Get It" singer is now romantically involved with Ed Sheeran.
"They are hooking up!" a source claims. The former Disney star and the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter were allegedly introduced over Memorial Day Weekend by their mutual friend Taylor Swift who's currently touring with the British redhead.
"They are friends with an open mind," another source dishes on. "He's sensitive and sweet and a lot deeper than Justin." The source claims, "She got sick of having to take care of Justin like he was her child. This is a nice escape from the drama."
Both Gomez and Sheeran haven't commented on the romance rumor, but the "Lego House" singer, 22, admitted at the MuchMusic Video Awards on June 16 that he "wouldn't complain" if he was set up with the 20-year-old brunette beauty.
Just last week, Sheeran was spotted leaving what was said to be Gomez's home. He was pictured carrying his guitars and loading them into an awaiting limousine.
Earlier this year at Billboard Music Awards, Swift was caught on camera making a grossed-out face when Gomez and Bieber were kissing backstage. She was seen sticking her tongue out at their PDA. In the press room, she also refused to answer a question about Bieber's Milestone Award win.

Why Imposing Oil Position Limits is a Tremendous Mistake
As a follow up to my post on Friday about how the CFTC's proposed oil and gas position limits are ultimately wrongheaded, I wanted to talk a bit more about why position limits won't solve the problem, and why these regulations are ultimately bad for the markets they are supposedly trying to protect.
As I said in Friday's post, the problem is not position size, but leverage. And the reason leverage is a problem is that small market moves are amplified by virtue of the buying and selling that NECESSARILY must follow when positions are entered into via margin.
To understand this, first, consider that unlike a stock every futures contract is entered into by two individual parties. There is no corporate entity issuing these contracts to raise capital as is the case in the stock market. Further, the commodities do not necessarily have to even exist for the contract to be initiated. Today, I could "sell" you 5,000 bushels of oats to be delivered in September. Never mind that I live nowhere near an oat farm, let alone the Chicago warehouse to which those oats would be delivered. No, as an investor, I would be selling you those oats with the intention of buying the same amount of oats from someone else later to offset my position, hopefully at a lower price than the one I gave you. My bet is that the price oats will go down between now and September. Your bet is that the price of oats will go up. Thus, for every futures contract that exists, there is a bullish participant, and a bearish participant. The bullish participant (the buyer) expects the value of the underlying commodity to go up, or at the very least, to NOT go down. The bearish participant expects the price to go down, or at least to NOT go up. In every trade, someone is wrong and someone is right.
Now, back to the point at hand, by virtue of the fact that someone wins and someone loses on ANY price movement, the dramatic effects of leverage can work like a positive feedback loop. Commodities exchanges and financial institutions facilitating futures trading require that a certain amount of money be maintained in an account to maintain one's position. This is called the "maintenance margin" and adverse price movements can wipe you out, initiating a "margin call" where the exchange or brokerage requires you put up more money or else exit the position.
Let's take a concrete example with a fake commodity. Assume there are two speculators: Albert and Brian. Each of whom has $10,000 he'd like to invest in Widget futures, currently trading at $20 a box with one Widget contract equal to 500 boxes, making the total value of one Widget contract $10,000 (convenient, eh?). The exchange requires a minimum margin of $1000 per contract. Albert, the more risk averse of the two, buys exactly one contract. Brian, seeking to amplify his gains, buys ten contracts. Albert is not leveraged whatsoever, whereas Brian is as leveraged as possible. The next day, the price of Widgets falls from $20/box to $19/box. Albert is now down $500, whereas Brian is down $5000 (–$500 x 10 contracts = –$5000). Since Brian has fallen below the margin requirement of $1000 per contract, his broker tells him he must either add another $5000 to his account, or else exit his position. Having no more funds to allocate, Brian tries to sell his Widget contracts (all ten of them) to exit his position. However, because the price has gone down, many other investors are also trying to sell their Widget contracts, having received margin calls from their brokers. The flood of sell orders drives the price of widgets even lower. Eventually, some buyers enter the market at the deep discount of $18 / box, and this is the price at which Brian is forced to sell. Now, at $18 / box, Albert has lost a net of $1000, while Brian has lost every last penny. Incidentally, Albert (always patient) can wait for the price to go up, as he knows these sorts of market hiccups are to be expected. Brian, meanwhile, moves all of the rest of his money into T-Bills.
Now, what about oil? The above scenario is precisely what happened with oil futures in 2008. Take a look at this graph of oil prices from August 2007 through February 2009:
Oil was moving more or less sideways until February 2008. At which point, a perfect storm of geopolitical factors began driving oil prices up. As oil continued up, the bearish speculators (those who had sold oil) had to cover their positions as they were losing money. Some, certainly, received margin calls. Because they were leveraged they did not have the luxury to wait for prices to go back down to exit their positions. A flood of buy orders only served to drive prices higher until they reached the ludicrous peak of $140 / barrel, at which point, investors realized that was insane and began to sell crude like crazy. Those who had continued to buy oil all the way up to $140 now found themselves awash in sell orders and, because they too were incredibly leveraged, these folks were forced to cover their positions as oil went down, all the way through the public awareness of the credit crisis (how apropos) and into March of 2009, when sensibility and prudence (purely the product of fear) finally began to return to the market.
Would position limits have caused things to go any differently? Absolutely not. If anything, limiting the number of positions people or institutions can hold would have had an even worse effect by stifling the liquidity of the market. The problem is not position size, the problem is leverage. Now, admittedly, when large financial institutions take massive speculative positions in the market they somewhat amplify the problem. (Consider some hedge fund with 1000 Oil contracts all maximally leveraged suddenly getting a margin call; you now have 1000 more sell orders than you did five seconds ago.) But limiting leverage would in effect also limit position size. If your firm has $1,000,000 to deploy on oil contracts, and the margin requirements were $10,000 instead of $5000 per contract, the firm could buy only 100 contracts, rather than 200 under the lower margin. This would also give the firm much more breathing room, so to speak, when prices move against them. Margin calls would be fewer and further between for EVERYONE.
One last caveat, the margin problem is not so much with individual investors buying an oil contract here or there on margin, but with big firms buying hundreds of oil contracts on the smallest allowable margin.
Were I king of the CFTC, I'd impose a sliding margin requirement based on number of contracts. Something like, say, a 10% increase on minimum margin for each speculative position entered into past the 10th. Of course, lawmakers would rather their restrictions meet the populist demands than actually make sense from an economic point of view.
My advice? Stay the hell away from any index fund or ETF that tracks oil or gas. If these regulations go through, energy commodity funds are due for a liquidity shock, and some market maker will happily arbitrage your money right out of the fund.

Curiously, comparing a price chart of crude oil against the net number of long/short contracts of the non commercial big specs, shows no correlation whatsoever. So, what's the fuss? Showing this evidence to a class of stats 101 students would leave them scratching their heads.
There are markets that do have positive correlations, but not here.
Perhaps the issue is that the composition of the large non commercials is incomplete? If this has some baring on the matter, why can't someone show it?

Great point spragus. I actually suspected as much but didn't have the data on hand to verify. Do you have a link to where we might see such a plot?
Thanks for the input.

Transparency: Obama Lags House Republicans
Maybe President Obama made a mistake during the 2008 campaign, promising great strides in government transparency as he did. Because he hasn't delivered them.
House Republicans, on the other hand, started from a better place than President Obama, made modest claims about how they would improve, and took some steps in the direction of improvement.
This makes it pretty easy to say that the president lags House Republicans in terms of transparency.
We're really not big on politics around here. The point is not to play red-team/blue-team. So let's talk about concrete measures of transparency progress. If the government is more transparent, you can get better info here on WashingtonWatch.com. Then you can be a smarter voter and citizen, and you'll be a happier person.
(Disclosure: For the last few years, your WashingtonWatch.com webmaster has been doing transparency not just as a nights and weekends project on this site, but also in his role as Director of Information Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. My general policy is not to advertise Cato work or Cato policy positions on WashingtonWatch.com, but this issue is non-ideological, non-partisan, and highly relevant here.)
Today (on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., 2:00 p.m. Eastern), I'll be presenting at a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Transparency about how well government data is published.
You can get a sneak peak of the grades I'll be delivering right here.
The idea has been to come up with something measurable. Over the last couple of years, we've created models of what legislative processes would look like if they were published as really good data. We've done the same with budgeting and spending information. What would it look like if it were really good data?
Next, we've been assessing how well that data is currently published. Some of it is the responsibility of Congress. Some is the responsibility of the White House. And some of it is a divided responsibility.
How well is it published? Not well at all.
The worst of it is probably this: There is no machine-readable federal government organization chart.
What that means is that there aren't distinct identifiers computers could use to help us in organizing our oversight of the government. That makes it really, really hard for us to present you good information about the government. It makes it hard to gather what agencies, bureaus, projects, and programs are affected by the bills in Congress.
You know how easy it is to shop on Amazon or eBay? It should be that easy to keep track of what's going in Congress. But the data isn't there. That's a failure of President Obama's, who claimed he would deliver transparent government.
So here are the report cards we've produced, illustrating how Congress and the White House are doing on publishing data. None of the grades are very good, but where Congress has weak grades, the Obama Administration's grades are horrible. Thus, our conclusion, Obama lags House Republicans on transparency.
There are things you can do to help.
See the thumbnails of the report cards we created? Click on those to get the full-sized PDF. Print them out and send them to your representative in Congress and your senators.
They don't know you care about this stuff until you tell them. They will get the idea that they need to do better on transparency, if you just let them know. Mountains won't move that instant, but it's an important step in improving government transparency.

bwc company
I bought a storage unit at an auction last week and I dumped out a jar of penny's and found this gold pocket watch at the bottom. I am having a very hard time identifying this watch. I know that it is old and it is very pretty and would like to repair it. However, I do not know what I have and do not want to spend more to repair than the watch is worth. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
I was told that my watch is gold filled, but from the pin at the end of the watch is gold and after 100 years if it was filled I would think I would look like it does. From the research I think the stamp means its 14k gold.
Stamp says
warranted 14k to assay
and then bwc co
the face says trenton on the front and it has a double opening back.
I have pictures and can email them
Thanks for any help

When you reply, go down until you see managing attachments, click on it, then hit browse, it will open up so you can pick from the file you want to upload the pictures from, click on the picture, one at a time, hit upload each time for each picture then hit preview to make sure your pictures took and it they did, hit submit. Sounds like a Trenton Watch Co. watch but pictures will tell whether it truly is or you can email them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will post them for you if that is ok.

While we wait for pictures ... the case marking you describe sounds like that of a solid gold case from the Brooklyn Watch Case Company.Jerry Treiman, NAWCC member since 1971

on the pin part its self is a marking that I cannot make out be through a loupe it looks gold
Re: bwc company (By: keysmee)
Trenton was never a very expensive watch and there are probably very few collectors who would be interested in this particular watch. Most of its value would be as a jewelry item and would depend on how appealing the external decoration is and the weight of gold in the case. Its value may end up not exceeding the gold value of the case. This particular watch is missing its bezel to hold the crystal which protects the face. The cover has also been opened too far and would need to be repaired to bring the watch into decent condition. Since you do not really have much money in this watch, what you might have to put out for a bezel, crystal, hinge repair and repair (or replacement of the movement) might still be less than the final value. ... or it might exceed the value. However, it will probably not gain any market value from your efforts. That is the harsh reality of today's gold prices relative to the value of the more common watches. Whether to put money into restoring it has to be a personal matter depending on whether you like the watch and would like to use it.Jerry Treiman, NAWCC member since 1971

A comment left on my dense-mode FCoE post is a perfect example of the dangers of using vague, marketing-driven and ill-defined word like "switching". The author wrote: "FC-SW is by no means routing ... Fibre Channel is switching." As I explained in one of my previous posts, switching can mean anything, from circuit-based activities to bridging, routing and even load balancing (I am positive some vendors claim their load balancers ... oops, application delivery controllers ... are L4-L7 switches), so let's see whether Fibre Channel "switching" is closer to bridging or routing.
One should always start with the standards. The FC-SW-5 standard (Fibre Channel Switch Fabric) is quite explicit. Every FC switch has an FC switching element (Figure 2 in FC-SW-5) with four control-plane components: Fabric controller, Address manager, Path selector and Router. The Switching characteristics section (section 4.6 of FC-SW-5) is also extremely clear: an FC switch performs path and circuit switching and frame routing. FC devices (hosts and storage) typically use datagram service. Case closed. FC switching commonly used today is routing, loud and clear.
Next let's try to dig a bit deeper and compare what FC fabric does to what bridges or routers typically do.
Forwarding. FC switches don't do blind bridge-like flooding of unknown addresses. They rely on explicit forwarding tables built by FSPF.
Loop detection. This one is trickier. The FC frame header has no hop count. I am positive the fabric reconfiguration mechanisms ensure there are no forwarding loops, but I simply didn't have the nerves to dig so deep into FC-SW-5.
Forwarding tables. FC switches use a routing protocol (FSPF) to build their forwarding tables.
Addressing. FC addresses are hierarchical, with the first 8 bytes indicating the switch (Domain ID). While this address structure limits the size of a single fabric (which can have at most 239 switches), there are provisions for inter-fabric routing.
Spoofing. Almost impossible in FC. Every device has to log into the fabric and it's trivial to implement RPF checks on F_ports as the host addresses are tied to physical ports.
Fragmentation. Not relevant. FC has hard-coded MTU size.
Mixed media. You can run FC over point-to-point fiber links, over Ethernet (FCoE), over IP (FCIP) and there's even provision in FC-BB-5 for running it over MPLS (which luckily never resulted in an actual implementation).
Host-to-router communication. The FC end hosts can exchange numerous informational or error messages with the FC switches.
The only reason someone might claim FC is bridging is the lack of hop count (see above) and lack of distinct L2 and L3 addresses, but then you don't have them on PPP links either (you don't need L2 addresses on point-to-point links). I don't know enough about FC history, but I would guess they started with a simple flat access network, slowly evolved it into a routed network and tried to minimize the impact of the changes.
As for the second part of the same comment, "A single flat switched network with 9,000+ ports is exactly what makes FC impressive", I fail to be impressed by a routed network with very clear hierarchical addressing structure running single-area OSPF with 9000 hosts attached to it.

Bill rips heart out of Emissions Trading Scheme
8 November 2012
Bill rips heart out of Emissions Trading Scheme
Polluters can now relax in the knowledge they won't have to reduce their carbon emissions and the taxpayer will continue to pick up the bill, Green Party climate change spokesperson Kennedy Graham said today.
The National Government's Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading and Other Matters) Amendment, which maintains subsidies for polluters and defers inclusion of agriculture indefinitely, passed this afternoon.
"This government had the chance to make a lasting contribution to ensure New Zealand did its fair share on climate change, instead it did the opposite and has bequeathed the next generation a mess to clean up and handed the taxpayer the bill," Dr Graham said.
"The ETS was already weak but it's now pointless. With the bare minimum of votes the Government has gutted the ETS and done nothing to protect the future for our children.
"The National Government says the bill is a balancing act. It has a point - New Zealand's clean green reputation is teetering on the edge and the impact on the economy will be felt when it falls.
"The costs of pollution are loaded onto the shoulders of taxpayers and the National Government is doing nothing to incentivise clean technologies.
"To add insult to injury the National Government broke an election promise that any changes to the ETS would be fiscally neutral as these will cost between $100m and $300m.
"The National Government has also failed to announce new binding commitments to reduce carbon emissions one the Kyoto period finishes at the end of the year.
"The Government's sole remaining policy will be its target of 15 percent in reductions for 2020, and of 50 percent by 2050, but, It has no plan to achieve those."

At the Atlantic, science historian Suzanne Fischer has a really interesting post up about the development of pointe shoes. In the early 20th century, at a time when all sorts of technologies were remaking the way people lived, worked, and played, pointe shoes were doing the same thing for ballerinas.
In particular, Fischer writes, pointe shoes were almost the dance equivalent of Henry Ford's assembly line—they standardized bodies and turned dancers into a sleek, modern commodity.
... the new shoes forced dancers' bodies to move in new ways. Dancers on this pointe regimen developed characteristically long, lean leg muscles. Balanchine also encouraged dancers to let the shoes remake their bodies, including developing bunions that gave the foot just the right line. And as their bodies were remade, dancers became "like IBM machines," modern and indistinguishable. This had consequences for labor, too. For one, stars became a less central feature of dance companies as dancers became more interchangeable, and second, dancers came to spend hours working on their shoes -- altering, gluing, and caring for them. In fact, in 1980 dancers threatened to strike -- not over hours or pay, but for better pointe shoes, and better management of them.

Holi ke Rang, Bhabhi ke Sang
Hello friends , I am back again with my latest experience with
my neighbour bhabhi. Let me describe her, she is approx. 32 yrs
with huge and lovely pair of boobs. She has two kids with
younger one only a year old. Their family are the tenants of my
neighbours ( our adjoining house ) in Patel Nagar , Delhi.
Her husband is a sales manager and normally out on tours. I am
also working in sales and keeps on traveling, me and her husband
became good friends due to commomn profession, he was basically
impressed by me , one due to my good sales techs.
And second myself being in sales with an MNC while he was not ,
even though more experienced than me, and so was her wife too
impressed by me ( I guess so) Come to the point, her name is
Pooja, but I used to call her bhabhi only, she was little fat
( not very much, but I like pluffy ladies too ) she had atleast
38 size tits which was always a good feast to me. She normally
wears suits BUT could not hide her cleavage. When she is in
saree she is a Damm sexy ( I love women in saree ). That was a
holi day and we all were celebrating with colors. We were putting
water and pakka rang on almost every body. By 1.00
p.m. we all were tired and free from the festival.
I was sitting in my Varrandah, suddenly I saw Pooja Bhabhi
standing in her Balcony and looking at athe people playing Holi,
although she also played but now she had cleaned her up.
I asked her casually about her husband, she told me that he
has to go out of delhi on tour by evening train only.
She asked me if I was through with holi, I told yes, a kind of
but it was boring , she asked why is it so, I told there was
nothing exciting, while saying so I gave a naughty smile and
looked upon her from top to bottom. She too responded me with
a smile , which was a sufficient hint for me. Suddenly I got
up and while she was looking on the road, I quietly climbed
up the stairs and reach just behind her. First I confirmed
that her husband was taking bath at that time, then with pakka
rang in my hands I put all on her face, it was a shock to her
but turned to pleasant surprise, when she found me there.
Now she started to free herself from my grip but she could not
help from my strong arms. I was still holding her from behind
and in a process my dick got raised to full 7 and was poking
her continueously. She noticed that and gave me a very sexy
smile. Oh my god friends ! what should I tell I was like in
air , I told her bhabhi Holi Milan nahi karengi to which she
readily opened her arms and we hugged each other for a min.
then I asked bhabhi Holi pe mooh meetha nahi karaengi to
which she understood immediately and put forward her voluptuous
lips towards me, I was like mad now and readily put my lips on
her. For 5 min we were smooching each other,
suddenly she realized that we are in open and her husband is
inside. She had to literally push me but I was not ready to ,
she told me to come after 3 hrs
when her husband is out.
I was more pleased , so I came down , had my bath and started
waiting for 3 hrs to finish. At about 4 PM, I went up again,
since every body were inside their houses due to holiday, no
one could see me. I knocked the door and she opened, I found
that kids were sleeping in other room. She welcomed me at the
door, (I feel desire in her eyes ). She was wearing a low cut
black colored blouse with lemon colored - black border saree,
she was looking like a fairy. I complemented her , she asked
me to sit down and offered a Badam Sharbat (Sweat Drink),
I was staring at her partly visible boobs, I couldn t take my
eyes away from the opening of her blouse, hoping that I would
get another view. And we both sat there and started chatting,
(I Notice that she is sitting closely on same sofa with me)
I touched her body by one or other excuse intentionally,
and notice that she is not reacting adversely. After some time
I took her hand in my hand and started rubbing it,
she stared at me and gave me a sexy smile and did not say any
thing, this gave me lot of courage and I kissed on her left
cheek, on this she closed her eyes and gave a very sexy look,
I started kissing on her cheeks. After some time I could feel
her warm breaths and i could feel that she is getting aroused,
I started kissing on her neck. She just whispered in a very
low voice ...ouch. and smiled looking in to my eyes. When
I move my lips forward towards her lips, Pooja herself moved
her pouting lips towards my mouth and offered them to me
closing her eyes in ecstasy. I took Pooja s pouting and juicy
lips in my mouth and sucked her lips. I kissed her lips for
quite some time there. She also kissed me in great excitement.
Her eyes had become pink in excitement as if she had drunken
I placed my hands on her boobs.
Wow, they were really marvellous. I pressed! her boobs from
over her sari, blouse and bra. It was really a great touch on
my palms. Her breasts were fully swollen. I pressed them for
quite some time and kissed her lips, cheeks and neck.
Then I started removed her sari. Shape of her nipples were
clearly visible through her blouse and bra. The blouse she
wore was vary low cut. So much of her boobs were left
uncovered. Her cleavage was looking simply killing.
She was making all sexy sounds. She kept sighing in excitement.
Then I unhooked her blouse dhire dhire one by one with soft
gentle touch. I kissed her boobs under her black lacy black
bra again. I rubbed my mouth on her fleshy boobs. She was
just moaning. I slowly pulled down her petticoat. She was
left in her bra and panty. She unbuttoned my shirt with her
soft fingures. she saw my hairy wide chest she touched my
hairy chest with her soft long fingures. Her fingers were
fondling my tiny nipples. she looked at me deeply and laid
her head on my chest and played with my nipples.
she pinched me hardly. I kissed Pooja and she locked her
lips with my lips. Her lips were sucking mine my tongue
went inside her mouth and drank her sliva. Her hands were
rubbing my body and she pulled my shirt from my body.
I took her in my arms and again kissed her all over.
I again pressed her boobs. I licked her
bra strap from her shoulder to her tits along the bra.
I Lick her nipples under her bra cups, her bra was totally
wet with my tounge. I unhooked her bra and started licking
her brown erected nipples. Then I took her in my arms.
Oohh, her body was really hot, soft and silky.
My cock got further erected
and stiffened. At the same time I was caressing her boobs.
Wow, her boobs were really marvellous. I pressed them with
my hands. They were very firm and tight. I went on playing
with her boobs. I moved towards her succulent boobs.
I kissed her boobs. I sucked, and and bite her pointed
nipples, she guided my lips to her other boob and gave the
nipple into my mouth, I drank that too. She was looking
lustfully at my large bulge in my trouser which was due to
the increase in size and stiffness of my penis..
She moved her fingers over my hardness and gently unhook my
trouser and pull my zipper down dhire dhire, looking
seductively in my eyes. She remove my trouser and move her
fingures over my hard rod in my u/wear. She continued
squeeze, rubbed my dick under my u/wear for some time.
Then she pulled down my underwear and take it out from my
legs using her hands and her feet. She looked at my fully
erect stiff cock stood in front of her. She smiled and move
her tounge over her lips looking into my eyes showing that
she liked my erection, length, thickness, etc. Looking at
hard brown dick, Pooja exclaimed in joy - oh! Kitna Mota
Hai Rajesh Tumahara you have got such a large and thick
penis. I realised that Vijay must be having a smaller
cock to fully satisfy her desires.
I looked at her nude sexy body from tip to toe. She asked
me in a special sexy style ..oohhh, yun kya dekh rahe ho..
I told her . Pooja you are looking more beautiful than ever.
Pooja came closer to me and hold my cock in her right hand.
I pulled down her scanty panty. And whisper in her ear,
Pooja in your full nudity you are looking very very beautiful,
sexy, and inviting..you have a very proportionate figure..
you have not bore any extra flesh on your sexy body.
your boobs and hips are simply marvellous...you have
maintained you boobs very well.your boobs are quite shapely..
in spite of the fact that your boobs are fully swollen and
very fleshy they have stood firm even without the support of
any bra..the roundness of your boobs are still there without
bra.they are still bulging and opulent..I have rarely seen
such heavy boobs in such a good shape even without bra..
I like such breasts very much, Pooja.. And I continued by
saying .. Pooja your hips are also killing.they are quite
heavy.they are projected backwardly so much that it is
enough to ignite a young man..yes Pooja your hips are very
inviting..they are simply arousing.. She just smiled and
said ..thanks for the compliments, dear.. . I kissed
Pooja here and there frantically.
Then I moved down towards her crotch, thighs, hips, etc.
and kissed her there. I again kissed and sucked her juicy
lips encircling my arms around her narrow waist line.
Pooja co-operated me very well encircling her arms around
my neck keeping her very closely hugged while I sucked her
pouting lips. Her breasts were being crushed badly against
my chest. My hard cock was being rubbed against her sexy
smooth crotch. After kissing and sucking her lips in that
posture for some times I move at her back, I held her from
behind in the same posture, in standing position itself and
placed my hands on her bulging breasts from under her
armpits. I started caressing Pooja s breasts. She was again
in her excitement as earlier. I moved my hands gently on
her fleshy plump breasts. Then I pressed them slowly.
Pooja was moaning in a very low suppressed voice ..
hhhuuhhhh... ..uuuuffffff.. .ooooohhhhhhh.. ..aaaahhhhh..
I further increased the pressure of my palms upon Pooja s
pair of firm breasts. I was feeling great in pressing ! her
luxuriant breasts as they were very much tight. Pooja was
holding me putting her arms back around my neck and that
way giving me full opportunity to press and squeeze her
breasts with ease. She was caressing sometimes my neck,
sometimes my hairs in her excitement. I started squeezing
her breasts with pressure. She was sibilating, hissing and
moaning. After some times Preeti told me to increase the
pressure of my hands on her breasts. I did so. She further
encouraged me to squeeze her breasts harder and harder.
I started squeezing her superb pulpy breasts as hard as I
could. Pooja was in great excitement. She was encouraging
me with words like ..oooohhhhh. .aur jore se. ..haan dear
aur jore se dabaao ..badaa maja aaraha hai mujhe.
your hands are quite expert.. .you know how to squeeze
breasts..dear press my boobs more hard..aaahhhh..yes..
i like it..
And I went on exerting as much as pressure onto her firm and
tight breasts. The more I pressed her breasts, the more
pressure she demanded on her breasts from me, the harder
I squeezed her fleshy and spongy breasts, even harder she
requested squeeze her breasts. She started uttering only
broken unclear words like
.aaahhhhh. yyoouuuu. .uuuuuhhhhh.oooffff.. .etc. and was
caressing me all through. My erect hard cock was getting
pressed and rubbed against Pooja s soft, silky, fleshy and
round hips. As her heavy haunching hips were projected back
sexily my erect cock was digging between her fleshy hips as
if trying to enter into her right then. Feeling my erect
hard cock making its vain effort to enter into her,
Pooja told me sexily ...ooohhhhh Rajesh Kitna Hard hai
tera yai. I whipser in her ear..mera kya??? Bol na Pooja..
I was ! pressing and squeezing Pooja s firm and tight
breasts very hard with my both hands and she was moaning
and moaning and moaning sexily closing her eyes
. ..aaaaahhhh.. oooofffffffff. ...uuiiiiimmmmmaaaa.
.oooohhhh. .uuuuuuhhhhhhhh... Tera yai Penis sssshhhhhhhh..
uuuummmmmmmmmmmaaaahhhhhhh.... I whisper again Pooja hindi
mai bolo na iska naam pl . (I love that hearing from female,
when I m horny) She was writhing her body sexily. She gave
jerks to her haunching hips. She wriggled in pleasure. She
waggled her hips side ways and to and fro making my hard
cock rub against her smooth fleshy and round hips.!
I found that Pooja was getting hotter and hotter.
She was in strong urge for sex. Her each action revealed
her strong urge to take me in immediately. After some times
Pooja asked me to take her to bed. I lifted fully nude Pooja
in my arms and moved towards her room I lift her up in my
arms and take her in her bedroom in her full nudity.
I was also in the same state.It was great moment for me to
lift Pooja in full nudity in my lap while I was also
completely naked. I took nude Pooja to her bed. I again took
her in my arms. We both started rubbing our body against
each other.
Then Pooja herself took the initiative. She started kissing me.
All over increasing my sexual urge to have her. I also kissed
Pooja all over her nude sexy body. I sucked her pouting lips.
Then I moved towards her breasts again. I licked her nipples
one by one. Pooja caressed my head in excitement. Then I
kissed her breasts all over for a pretty long time. Pooja was
simply moaning ..aaaaahhhhh ..uuuuuhhhhhhh.. ....uuuuuuffffff..
and I started sucking Pooja s erect hard nipples one by one.
Pooja kept on moaning and sibilating biting her lips with her
teeth and making sounds like .! .aaaahhhh ...uuuuuuhhhhhh...
oooooohhhhhhh... etc. I lift her leg up, kiss her feet,
lick her knee and leg, lick her thighs, forced her thighs move
apart I kissed her pussy and licked it Pooja pressed my head.
I started eating wet pussy, she lifted her hip and rubbed wet
pussy on my face. My body was shivering my mind was blacked out
no one can control even myself because I was achieving my
greatest goal having sex Pooja for the first time in my life.
Pooja s moved her hand and message my hard dick.,
she move my foreskin back and whisper in my ear, Rajesh I want
to suck your cock , I again asked her to use hindi word for
my cock She looked in my eyes and whisper in my ear Tumahra
Yai Mota Lund I got thrilled by her words and desire, I lay
on my back, with my cock erected at its fullest length, she
looked in my eyes, kiss my hairy chest, and rub her wet lips
all over my belly and move down, she kissed the head of my cock.
Likced the tip of my pink thick nob, pulled my foreskin back
with her tounge and started sucking my dick into her mouth.
I can feel her warm wet lips wrapped around my hard dick, which
was making me crazy. I fingered her cunt, I was going mad about
her cock sucking, biting my cock I never thought this would
happen because the one who was sucking my cock is my best
friends religious wife his honest wife. My cock became wet
with her s
aliva. She started sucking it up and down, licking my balls in
between. I hold her hairs and push her wet lips over my hard
shaft to slide more in her mouth After some time I lay her down,
kissed her all over. She again moaned and sibilated in the same
way. After some time Pooja told me ...oooohhh dear it is
too much.. Aab bardasht nahin ho raha hai.. aao naa. ooooohhh
please dear, come on, come on and fuck me dear.. aab der maat
kaaro.. aab mujhe chodo na.. aab aur kitni der karoge my dear.
I can t wait any more...come on fuck me.. Seeing her fully
aroused I mounted upon Pooja. She separated her thighs to make
way for me. went in fully,. I position myself between her thighs.
She hold my dick and placed over her doorway to heaven. I hold
her waist squeeze my hips little , and jerk my waist and
oooohhhhhhhhhhhh my dick started sliding in her juicy wet hot
tight pink cunt. My erect and hard cock slid easily into her
as her vagina was fully wet.
As my dick went in right inside her, Pooja sighed heavily in
sexy voice .. aaaaaahhhh dear. I was in heaven, at last I am
fucking my dream lady Pooja, I am fucking my best friend wife.
I can t believe this I achieved it I longed for her I am fucking
her. she moaned again out of joy, pleasure, She was
gyrating her hips. I gradually increased the speed. Pooja arched
her thighs upwards. She was throwing her hips up in order to
receive my cock inside her every time I made stroke. She was doing
so in order to accommodate me more and more inside her.
I pushed my cock into her hot vagina with force. She started
making sounds a bit louder in her excitement ...ooooooohhhhh.
..aaaaaaahhhh.uuuuuhhhhhhh... uuuuffffffffffff... ..iiiiiihhhhh.
..oooooffffffffffooooooooohhhhhhhhh.. my hands
were pressing her boobs, squeezing her nipples. I bend down and
kissed her, bite her lips and laic her ears. I went on
fucking young sexy Pooja like that for some time. My cock had
become thicker by that time. It was making a swift to and fro
motion. She then asked me to increase my speed . ..aaaahhhhh.
dddeeaarrrr. ffaaassstt.. Yess ddearr faaaassstt...
come on fuck me fast.you are great..I like it ..oohh dear..
fuck me fast. .ooooohhhh aur jur se chodo mujhe...aaaahhhh.
dear aur jor se karo ..aaaaahhhhhhhhhh..aur..ander.jor sai..
She went on encouraging to fuck her fast with her words in sexy
voice with moans and sibilation.
She was urging me to increase my speed. She requested me to
push more and more with full thrust into her hot and wet vagina.
I further increased my speed. I made hard strokes. She received
each of my hard strokes skilfully throwing her hips up and up
every time. I was romping fast. Pooja was then in full
excitement and was uttering words like .ooooohhhh.ddeeaarrr.
.ooooohhhhhh.. ..uuuuuuffffff.. .aaaaahhhhh.aaaahhhhhh..
uuuiiiiii. ..aaahhhhh..
uuuummmmaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh..oooooooohhhhhhh... I asked her

khoob chodo mujhe. And I was fucking Pooja with full vigour
and speed. She was encouraging me with her words and I was
fucking her fast.
I stood on my knees and started giving vigorous thrusts of my
cock into her lovely vagina caressing her hips. Pooja was
trying to take all sorts of pleasure of fucking and at the same
time she was giving me the maximum pleasure. I was pushing my cock
harder and harder, faster and faster. We enjoyed fucking
for quite some time. I took care of not ejaculating early so that
I could continue fucking Pooja! . I feel my cock got
hardened and shooted its warm liquid inside her pussy,
I felt her vagina contrasted on my cock and I like its dripping to
fill in her cunt.. till his last drop I held her tightly and both
exhausted and lay apart. We took rest in each others arms.
She got up after about half an hour and brought hot milk from
kitchen. We took the milk. After a few moments we were
energised again.
After the return of her hubby I could not get the chance for at
least a fortnight. But again when he went away on business tour,
I fucked Pooja for several rounds. So whenever we got the
opportunity we enjoyed fucking. Pooja was so bold that she offered
herself to fuck her during the day time when her hubby was not on
tour.. So for a couple of months I fucked that young sexy woman
Pooja Now they have shifted since her husband got transferred to
Kolkata and I almost lost contacts with her.
But I am sure she still remembers me and can not forget me and
my cock

With the season premiere of "The Haves and The Have Nots" coming up on June 30th we have to bring you another special edition of #CelebrityCrush, this time showcasing the handsome hunks who make the show worth waiting for.
Actor Peter Parros is no stranger to the entertainment world – one of his best known roles has been as Dr. Ben Harris on the CBS soap opera, "As the World Turns". These days, Peter Parros plays the role of David Harrington, he level-headed, grim, and gravelly-voiced husband of Veronica and father of Jeffrey who often acts as a voice of reason. Not only is David's advice normally sound and to the point but his muscles could surely distract.
Gavin Houston is easily a fan favorite on the show for his portrayal of the character Jefferey Harrington. Gavin Houston is another actor who's no stranger to the soap world, having portrayed the long-running character Remy Bourdreau on "Guiding Light" and Sly Thomas on "General Hospital". Gavin's new character Jefferey is at first a closeted homosexual man until he finally opens up about his sexuality to his parents – his father is compassionate while his mother does not hide her homophobia. Jeffrey is often "the underdog" of his family but yet he does not shy away from himself or his family. Gavin's smile and charismatic persona on the show shines through even in the darkest of moments on the show – easily making him a fan favorite.

Urban Decay Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush Reviews
This works!!I've tried other foundation brushes and honestly I didn't see much of a difference between those and my fingers for applying foundation. Then I found this one and I love it.

Love love love it !It is super soft, & it's blends really well. You can use it for liquid or powder foundation and you can even use it for your blush. This brush lasts really long and the bristles don't get damaged as quickly as others. when you're using it, it's really easy to sweep from one side of your face to the other, spreading your makeup across evenly. — 2 years agokaebella | 1 reviews

Game ChangerI seriously don't know what I would do without this. I use it with the Naked Powder Foundation and it leaves my skin looking flawless. The brush is soft, and easy to apply. You can actually see what its doing. Definitely something worth the money in my opinion. Easy to clean too! — 2 years, 6 months agokelsey_taylor | 10 reviews

Good Staple Brush for EveryoneI am not a fan of UD foundation, but my mother had this brush and I used it once and fell in love. I'm not sure if its the sleek design, the plush thick bristles, or the fact that it just gets the job done that I immediately had to get my own, but I can't imagine putting on my face without it. I'll start with the cons because they are few: This isn't a do-it-all brush like some of the brushes I ha...read moreve gotten from Sephora--it is limited in the space it covers with each sweep, and will not apply fine powder well. It is expensive! And I find that it needs more regular cleaning than other foundation brushes, and to retain the super soft feeling you need to add some unscented hair conditioner after cleaning. Okay, here's the pros: I have yet to find a brush that will compare with the same quality of finish with the widest variety of foundation, I have tried liquids (matt and luminous), mousses, creams, cream to powders, and thick powders and all seem to come out perfectly. There is a trick of working in circles, but after you get the hang of it, you end up using less foundation than with lower quality brushes. In summation, despite being expensive and a little more maintenance, this brush would make everyone's foundation much more happy to go on. — 4 years, 5 months agosummerlotus5 | 21 reviews

Joey Barton has been warned to cool his temper in France after yet another bust-up.
The QPR midfielder, exiled to Marseille after his meltdown at Manchester City on the final day of last season, fought with FC Istres striker Guy-Roland Niangbo in what was supposed to be a friendly.
The pair clashed after Barton made a wild tackle on Niangbo. The Ivorian reacted angrily and squared up to Barton, who insisted after last season's disgrace that he had learned his lesson.
Barton then grabbed Niangbo around the neck and wrestled him to the ground before they were separated.
Marseille coach Elie Baup said of Barton later: "He is a competitor. For him, there are no friendly matches."
But Istres coach Jose Pasqualetti warned: "He will have to be careful. That kind of thing does not happen in Ligue 1."
Afterwards, Barton dismissed the interest in his latest controversy.
He took to Twitter to insist: "Actually can't believe it is even news. Strange old world. #boxoffice" The Liverpudlian is looking to improve his match fitness ahead of his League debut for Marseille, which is known as France's "rebel city".
The Mediterranean port has taken Barton to its heart and he was greeted on his arrival with a banner reading "Welcome sweet and tender hooligan".
He is eligible to play in the Europa League but not in domestic games until November 17, when Marseille are due to face Bordeaux.
The former Newcastle and Manchester City midfielder is serving a 12-match domestic ban for lashing out at Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany in that momentous match at the Etihad on the final day of last season.
He was banned for 12 games by the FA and fined £75,000. Barton was also fined £480,000 by QPR and warned any further breaches in behaviour could see him sacked. The bad boy has twice been convicted on charges of violence. He was jailed for six months in May 2008 for affray in Liverpool city centre, of which he served 77 days.
Later that year he was given a four-month suspended jail sentence after admitting an assault on his former City team-mate Ousmane Dabo in May 2007.
He said recently: "My slate's never going to be clean but I think I have found a football club who love me for being a bit of a rogue.
"It's an embodiment of what a Marseille fan is. The Marseille fan isn't your middle-class toff. Marseille is a gritty, dark, urban melting pot. Out and about you see a lot of symbolism, graffiti. Outlaw. Rebellious. Anti-Paris."

Fernhill spill won't affect water supply
Media advisory
Fernhill spill won't affect water supply.
Council contractors worked quickly to clean up a sewage overflow from a manhole near the intersection of Fernhill Road and Arawata Terrace this afternoon.
Sewage was reported to have spilled across the road and into the storm water system and it was strongly suspected to have reached Lake Wakatipu, upstream of the Two Mile water intake.
The Two Mile water intake was shut down while the sewer was cleared by jet blaster and the spill site sanitised.
Queenstown Lakes District Council 3 Waters manager Gerry Essenberg says while there was no risk to the public water supply following the spill, the water intake, which feeds Fernhill Reservoir No 1, will remain closed as a precautionary measure for the next 24 hours.
"We've been monitoring the water entering the supply and results are normal," he said. "The reservoir is 90% full so will be able to meet demand until we turn the intake on again."

A new title is currently in development at the firm's Netherlands operation, and Playlogics executive VP Rogier Smit (pictured) told MCV that there will be more PS3 titles to follow:
"A team at our in-house development studio called Playlogic Game Factory in Breda recently started working on a new IP," he said. "It is still early in development, but looks very promising and we expect it to turn into a great game."
Smit attributed the firm's commitment to the platform to working alongside SCEE, and outlined Playlogic's continued dedication to the UK market: "The UK is a very important market for us. Our recent releases such as Infernal, Ancient Wars: Sparta, Xyanide Resurrection and Obscure II have all performed well and we plan to release even more titles in the future."

Paul Thurrott has supplied some nice photos of what we can expect in the future version of Windows. People have said that Windows Vista 5270 has some nice Tablet PC enhancements to it, where one of the really nice features is the ability for the computer to learn how you write. It will be similar to voice training I would presume, but I have not been able to test this feature myself. I do have an Averatec C3500 Tablet PC but the install freezes whenever I try set it up. I hope this gets fixed in the future versions because I am really anxious to give this a shot on my Tablet PC. In the meantime, this will provide a nice sneak-preview!

"Being a traveling Gypsy, I love my Lyloh so much!
It takes up little room in my bag and is used for so a towel when I get out of the surf, I lay on it in the sun, wear it as pants when its a little chilly or a a dress when I'm in party town.
Hands down the most necessary item item in my travel bag."
Carly from Byron Bay Australia
what the lyloh lovers are saying . . .
"I threw all my other sarongs away! They don't even compare!" Kel, Miami Beach
"When ever I go to Bali I would buy 10 sarongs because they would rip or the colours run after a few uses. My order from you arrived quicker than I expected and love the fabric it's a much tighter weave than the crappy sarongs. I'm so happy to find you gals because now my Lyloh sarong lives with me! " Samantha, Bondi Beach
"I love the beach but sand annoys me. As I was going back to the hotel frustrated that I had sand all over me I found your website and thank gosh I did! I bought 3 long sarongs straight away and now loving that I can lay on the beach with out getting sand every where" Isabel, Noosa

ST HELENS' Commonwealth Games hero Owen Livesey returned to the town for a flying visit last week along with his prized gold medal, which he dedicated to his mum Joanne.
Livesey took out the top honour in the judo men's -81kg category during the high-profile Glasgow tournament.
The 23-year-old Haresfinch fighter learned his craft at the Newton-le-Willows-based SKK club.
He took the gold after defeating fellow Englishman Tom Reed in the final.
His family were there at the SECC Precinct in Glasgow, including mum Joanne and sisters Bekky and Amy, both of whom are accomplished judokas themselves.
Livesey, for whom gold was an early birthday present, said: "All my family were really happy.
"My mum has always supported me and without them I would never have done it.
"My family were the ones who funded me and paid for everything so they were chuffed.
"They were all pleased for me "Winning was a relief more than anything after spending the last couple of months preparing for it.
"There was a lot of pressure coming into it but it was amazing.
"I had never witnessed anything like that, it was the best atmosphere I have ever fought in and it was a sell-out crowd."
Livesey's preparation had been good, taking the gold medal in the British Championships last December and then following it up with two silvers for Great Britain during tournaments in Argentina and Uruguay.
After earlier wins over Kenyan John Kirimi, Zambian Boas Munyonga and Canadian Johan Burt in the semi-finals, Livesey edged out Team Bath fighter Reed to take top spot on the podium.
The triumph marked somewhat of a fairytale story after Livesey left the sport for 18 months, returning to his native St Helens to play amateur rugby league at Pilkington Recs. After a brief two-day visit back in his hometown, Livesey returned to his training base at Camberley, in Surrey, ahead of enjoying a week's holiday before he gets back to the business of picking up ranking points to fulfil his long-term ambition of making the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"I've got one more week off now and will be on holiday with my friends for a week.
"And then when I'm back I've got six weeks until my first World Cup event which takes place in Portugal," he said.
