Jews, DONT go to Libya!
Jews, DONT go to Libya!
July 31, 2012 Libya Jew returns to UK
Businessman Raphael Luzon held, interrogated for four days, doesnt advise any Jew to go to Libya.
Raphael Luzon, a former Libyan Jew, returned to the UK safely on Sunday after security forces in Benghazi imprisoned and interrogated him for several days.
Luzon said his ordeal began in Benghazi on July 22 when suddenly a friend sent me a text warning me to be careful that security forces are looking for me, he recalled. I immediately called the Italian consul who came to my hotel, but when I went to the lobby to meet him he was surrounded by 12 to 15 armed men.
They didnt let the consul speak, they put me in the car and took me outside Benghazi.
Luzon, who said he was in the country for business, was kept behind bars at a military camp outside the Mediterranean city without being told why.
I felt my life was in danger for the first 24 hours because no one knew where I was or what had happened to me, Luzon said. In the morning high officials came. One of them, a general shouted at my captors saying they should have brought me food and water.
The Libyan Jew said men he identified as belonging to the muchabarat, or the preventive security, interrogated him daily.
Meanwhile, news that a Jewish leader was abducted appeared in the Libyan press.
After 4 days in prison, Luzon was freed and kept under house arrest at a friends residence in Benghazi.
Still, he was not allowed to leave the country. A citizen of Britain and Italy, Luzon said both countries intervened on his behalf. He credited British MP Robert Halfon, whose father was a Libyan Jew, and Italian consul Guido Bessanti, for securing his release.
Asked why he had been arrested, Luzon said he was still not sure.

This webinar will provide strategies to prevent and/or stop retaliation in the workplace. It will discuss how to recognize retaliation before it takes root; best prevention practices and strategies to safeguard employees.
Why Should You Attend:
Retaliation complaints are increasing in business and organizations. Retaliatory activities may be an indicator that an organization needs a stronger, more credible ethics program. Over the last two years, whistleblower retaliation claims have become far more prevalent and the organizational costs are staggering.
This webinar will showcase a real-life retaliation investigation from start to finish. It will look at retaliation beginning with the media exposure of the fraud ($2.3 million in government funds); the response of management and co-workers; the types of retaliatory activities that were documented; the complaint process; the investigation; and the substantiation result. The webinar will examine the details of this case in order to determine appropriate steps to handle retaliation in large and small organizations. Examining the details of a real-life case study of whistleblower retaliation, participants will learn to recognize and prevent retaliation. Additional protections to encourage employees to report wrongdoing will also be discussed.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Research data on retaliation statistics from the Ethics Research Council
- Recognizing the red flags of retaliation
- Real-life case study on a substantiated retaliation investigation
- Strategies for preventing retaliation before it becomes a major threat
- Strategies for handling allegations of retaliation
- Strategies to safeguard the workplace
Who Will Benefit:
- Managers and supervisors
- Internal auditors, investigators
- Corporate compliance officers
- Corporate counsel officers and attorneys
- Human resource directors
- Risk management officers
- Ombudspersons
- Whistleblower liaisons, attorneys, and advocates
Amy Block Joy, has a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley and worked for the University of California for 33 years. As a faculty member and program director at UC Davis in 2006, she discovered apparent embezzlement in her government grant funds and reported it to her supervisor. When her report was ignored, she blew the whistle alerting her organizational authorities. Her internal report of alleged wrongdoing unleashed a chain of terrifying events that almost ended her career. Over a five year timeframe, she was involved as a witness in three investigations ($2.3 million in fraud was substantiated); a subject of three investigations (she was cleared of all alleged wrongdoing); and a target of retaliation (which was investigated and substantiated). She has published two books on these real-life cases to encourage increased safeguards in the workplace: Whistleblower (Bay Tree Publishing, California, 2010) and Retaliation (CreateSpace Publishing Platform, South Caroline, 2013). Currently, Amy Block Joy is an Emeritus, instructor, author, speaker on institutional ethics, and teaches an undergraduate ethics class at UC Davis.
Topic Background:
According to the 2011 National Business Ethics Survey (NBES) Supplementary Report ("Retaliation: When Whistleblowers Become Victims") more than 22% of those who reported misconduct in 2011, perceived retaliation for doing so. This translates to 2.3 million more workers than reported retaliation in 2009. This trend continued in 2013 with 21% of respondents claiming retaliation. As reported in the NBES 2013 report: "High retaliation rates are especially worrisome because they discourage reporting and make it harder to identify and root out bad behavior".
In "The High Cost of Whistleblower Retaliation: Why Institutions Should Prevent It", published by Compliance and Ethics Professional in July/August 2013, data is presented to show how retaliation can become a major threat to the ethical culture of an institution.

How to choose the best birthday present
Before you even start browsing, decide what your budget is. This will help you better categorise the type of gift you should look for. If you're trying to spend less than $50, you may not want to look at big ticket items like a bike, guitar or television, for example. You can then ask the following questions about the person. Some of them may require intimate knowledge of the person. If you're not that close to the person, try asking their friends or family.
- Do they need any necessities? Is the person you're buying for struggling financially or lacking homeware necessities? This will make your birthday gift buying easy – maybe you can give them cash, a gift voucher or the missing dish drying rack they've been complaining about? Just sayin'.
- Do they have any pets or children? Someone who enjoys the company of their pets or is a new parent might appreciate a gift which caters to this.
- Do they have any hobbies or play any sports?Hobbies are a great way to come up with gift ideas. If the person you're buying for is an aspiring guitar virtuoso, maybe a set of new effects pedals would be appreciated. If they're an avid reader, you could buy them an e-book reader to make their collection easier to manage. For the more athletically gifted of us, some new gym gear or the latest jersey of their favourite sports team are ideal gifts.
- Do they have any addictions or obsessions?It's not hard to find the answer to this question if you regularly see the person you're buying a gift for. Think about their favourite television shows or topics of conversation they always bring up. Then, search for gifts accordingly. If they're a gym goer for example, the latest supplement may be a good gift idea.
- What are your fondest memories of them? Presents, whether they're birthday, thank you, congratulations or Christmas presents are always made that much better with a personal touch. Think of your relationship with the person you're buying a present for and what you two love to do together and get them something to suit. Or, think of a memory you share (embarrassing, happy, it doesn't matter! So long as it's a good memory in general) and buy them something that reminds you of that memory.
Top retailers for great birthday gifts
Still stuck for a present? Not only do these sites stock heaps of quality items, they're also fabulously gift worthy and fabulously affordable.
Expedia - The travel experts have a luxurious birthday present waiting for your special someone
There's nothing not to love about being gifted a holiday. You get relaxation, adventure, a change of scenery, and not a care in the world.
Flowers for Everyone - Don't know what to buy? Flowers are the answer.
Don't know the birthday girl/boy that well? Or do they just love a sweet gesture and the smell of flowers? Buy them a bunch of flowers, and you'll even get them delivered to their doorstep (or the party's doorstep), too.
Yellow Octopus - Buy them something they WANT not something they NEED.
No joke: Yellow Octopus is gift central. They've got the coolest and cutest gizmos this side of the pond. Browse their selection of magical remote controlled wands and robotic construction toys if you don't believe us.
Naked Wines - Alcohol. That is all.
Bearing in mind that your giftee enjoys a good tipple every now and again (at the very least), a boutique wine will not go unwanted. True story. Another true story is that you can get a $50 voucher on any case of wine with our coupon code.
Vistaprint - For a truly personalised gift: Vistaprint it.
Grab your favourite photo of you and your giftee or design something special and have it printed on all manner of things, including shirts, mugs, pillows, and more.


text: Best A/V Receivers Under $600 So how much does a good A/V receiver cost…. $1,000? How about $2,000? That may have been the case several years ago, however with today's technological advancements and economies of scale, much of the technology that was once exclusive to high-end components has trickled down into mid-priced equipment. As a result, it's possible to get excellent sounding equipment for under $1.000. The list below represents some of the best receivers that you can get for under $600. In fact, some of the receivers below have sound quality that rivals A/V receivers costing twice as much. Sony STR-DN1070 7.2 Channel ReceiverThe Sony STR-DN1070 has nearly everything one could want in an AV receiver. The amp has excellent sound quality and an ample list of features including full support for 4K video and multi-room features. It also has one of the best on screen interfaces that we've seen on any piece of AV equipment. Our biggest gripe with the receiver is that it doesn't support Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, however if these two audio formats aren't of interest to you, then the 1070 is a great pick.READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE SONY STR-DN1070Where to Buy:See Price on Amazon Onkyo TX-NR646 7.2 Channel ReceiverThe Onkyo TX-NR646 received nearly a perfect rating when we reviewed it and for good reason. The 646 has nearly everything you could want in a mid-range receiver. It has full 4K support with HDCP 2.2, Bluetooth, WiFi, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. If that's not enough it has fantastic sound quality. Its MSRP is normally $699, but you can usually pick one up for under $600. READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE ONKYO-TX-NR646 Pioneer VSX-1124 7.2 Channel Receiver (MSRP – $599)The Pioneer VSX-1124 is one of the best sounding mid-priced AV receivers we've reviewed this year. It has Pioneer's signature warm sound and has plenty of power for most medium sized home theaters. The VSX-1124 comes loaded with 7 HDMI inputs, supports 4k Ultra HD video, includes Apple's AirPlay and it's AV Navigator makes setup easier for first time users. However, the 1124 isn't perfect. The user interface is subpar and neither bluetooth or WiFi are built into the unit. Despite these omissions when a receiver sounds this good you can overlook it's other shortcomings. READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE PIONEER VSX-1124 Sony STR-DN1050 7.2 Channel Receiver (MSRP – $599)Sony's been on a roll the past few years releasing a spate of great sounding receivers. The Sony STR-DN1050 continues this trend. The 1050 has nearly every feature that the average home theater user could possibly want beginning with it's simplified interface. The GUI on the 1050 may be the slickest we've seen on A/V box. It's simple, intuitive and is a definite departure from what we're used to seeing on a receiver. To prove it also has substance, the Sony 1050 includes 6 HDMI 2.0 inputs and a handful of analog and digital connections. 4K televisions will become more prevalent the next few years and it would be wise to pick-up a receiver that's capable of supporting 4K. The 1050 supports both 4K pass through and upscaling. The Sony STR-DN1050 manages to also cram Bluetooth and WiFi into it's metal box which facilitates a variety of streaming options. More important than all of the above, the 1050 has top notch sound reproduction making it the total package. READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE SONY STR-DN1050 Sony STR-DN1060 7.2 Channel Receiver (MSRP – $599)The Sony STR-DN1060 is the heir apparent to the 1050 above. When compared to last years model it's an improvement in every way. It has the same fantastic sound quality and all the features of the 1050 plus it offers full 4K video support by being HDCP 2.2 compatible. READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE SONY STR-DN1060 Onkyo TX-NR535 5.2 Channel Receiver (MSRP – $499)Onkyo is known for yearly packing tons of features in their A/V receivers and this year's Onkyo TX-NR535 is no exception. Like all Onkyo receivers, it's not the prettiest kid on the block, but behind it's hard exterior is a feature packed A/V receiver. It's loaded with extras including both WiFi and Bulit-in Bluetooth. The 535 also allows for 4K passthrough, however it doesn't upscale regular HD content to 4K. The Onkyo 535 also includes tons of internet radio streaming options which include Tune In Radio, Pandora, SlackerTM, SIRIUS XM Internet Radio, Spotify, AUPEO!, and Deezer. Throw in 6 HDMI inputs and the 535 is capable of filling any medium sized home theater room with great sound. Anyone in the market for a new 5 channel receiver, should give the Onkyo 535 serious consideration. READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE ONKYO TX-NR535 Denon AVR-S900W 7.2 Channel (MSRP – $599)The Denon AVR-S900W was added to Denon's line-up this year and comes fully loaded. It includes a staggering 8 HDMI inputs. Which means you and your neighbor can each connect your HDMI equipment into it and your neighbor's neighbor can connect their HDMI equipment into it and you'd still have HDMI inputs left over. On top of this, it also has built-in WiFi, Bluetooth and is Airplay compatible. If this isn't enough to sway you, it also allows for 4K-Ultra HD passthrough and upscaling. Oh, and one more final thing of note, the Denon S900W also happens to sound great.READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE Denon AVR-S900W Yamaha RX-V577 7 Channel Receiver (MSRP – $549)When we reviewed the Yamaha RX-V577 receiver we were immediately enamored by it's spacious and open sound stage. On top of this, the 577 has built-in WiFi (but not bluetooth) and has a pretty good selection of internet streaming options. It also boasts 6 HDMI inputs and offers AirPlay support. The 577 also gives users the ability to make some fairly in depth tweaks to the EQ settings. However, the one thing that really stood out when we reviewed it was the virtual cinema front. This feature creates a virtual surround experience with only the front speakers. When testing it, we had our doubts about how effective this mode would be, however when active it immediately created a wider sound stage. Overall, this feature will give anyone who's challenged with speaker placement a way to create a wider and more engaging sound stage. READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF THE YAMAHA RX-V577Please like & share:

Focus on technique to make cocktails like a pro
An interview with award-winning bartender and author Jeffrey Morgenthaler about his new book, The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique (with Martha Holmberg; Chronicle Books, 2014). Morgenthaler also shares his recipe for Philadelphia Fish House Punch; perfect for the holidays!

The holiday season is too short to spend it stuck behind the bar making drinks, unless you're getting paid for it that is. If you're entertaining over the holidays, plan ahead and serve drinks that both you and your guests will enjoy. "I always recommend that people make large batch and pre-batch stuff – I always do when I have parties," award-winning bartender and author Jeffrey Morgenthaler says in an interview. "Things that you can bottle and serve, or pour into a pitcher and have people pour over ice; punch is always a great thing to serve. Anything that keeps you out from behind the bar, I think is a successful party drink."

Do You Avoid Saying Merry Christmas?
In today's Washington Times one writer laments the fact that retailers fear using the word "Christmas" in their festive advertising. The article explains that for sales going down on Dec. 26, "among major retail chains, only Kohl's and Rite-Aid have used the word Christmas regularly and prominently in their advertising."
Around this time of year, I tend to say "Happy Holidays" because there are so many holidays going on — Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's, etc. But depending on the audience or the date (for example, Christmas Eve), I have no problem saying "Merry Christmas."
While it makes some sort of sense for retailers to use a generic term to appeal to more customers, do you find that you avoid saying "Merry Christmas" so you don't offend anyone?

Reviews of Compassionate Care | HOME HEALTH AGENCY
Glad we're done November 14, 2016
I am a past client of this provider
While most of the caregivers for my mom (who needed 24/7 care) were wonderful, the agency itself was not. They assured us in the beginning that they would take care of everything for us as far as the paperwork to the LTC company. I ended up spending more time than they did following up. At one point, my mom had advanced thousands of dollars due to their inefficiency and then threatened to pull the caregiver for non-payment to them. We finally fired them which resulted in the President of the Company basically blaming me! It was a terrible experience with them all around. I understand also that they don't treat their caregivers too good either. Alot of untruths!
CarlFZVOU May 11, 2016
I am a current client of this provider
My mother is very happy with her live-in companion from Compassionate Care, Inc. We have been using them for three or four months now. They help her in every way, like with medication, bathing, hygiene, and cooking. She is excellent, cooks well, is a good companion, and is very jovial. They care.

'Cirque It!' City: Touchstone packs a 'Punch' for 'Jakopa's Processional' along Bethlehem Greenway
Friday, July 14, 2017 by LUKE MUENCH in Focus
Touchstone Artistic Director JP Jordan was in Peru when he first decided to create the Jakopa's Punch Band.
"I was in Peru when I got word that David Bowie had passed," Jordan explains, "and I was told that The Lesson Center planned to host a benefit for leukemia patients in honor of Bowie.
"Now, I didn't have a band at the time, but I asked if I could play a set if I could pull a band together in time, and they said sure. So we ended up getting together this group of musicians."
The name of the band stems from Jordan asking his niece what she thought "JP" stood for.

Movie Review: Baby, you can drive 'Transformers'
Friday, July 7, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
"Transformers: The Last Knight."
Or is it?
"Transformers Universe: Bumblebee" is set for a June 2018 release. A sixth "Transformers" is set for a June 2019 release.
In this, the fifth movie, the Transformers don't do all that much transforming. When they do transform, from cars and vehicles to Autobots, they mostly do so lurking behind a building support column or accompanied by flare effects.
The fascination with "Transformers" is to see them transform. Isn't that what made the Hasbro toy so much fun to begin with?
Healthy Geezer: Ozone pollution
Friday, July 7, 2017 by FRED CICETTI in Focus
Q. I don't get it. Is ozone a good thing or a bad thing?
Ozone, a gas, is a form of oxygen. It is created when an electric spark or ultraviolet light passes through air, or when pollutants react chemically with sunlight. Beneficial ozone is in the upper atmosphere, 10 to 30 miles above the surface of the Earth. It protects us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Too much of these rays may increase the risk of skin cancer, cataracts and problems with our immune systems. Part of the good ozone layer has been destroyed by man-made chemicals.

I'm getting an error message when I try to finish the integration wizard with AweberAsked by EstherM on October 16, 2015 at 01:34 PM
Recently, I tried to integrate AWeber Communications with your service. While following the steps in your AWeber Integration Wizard, I received the following error (screenshot attached). While matching the form fields, your service is telling me that I need to add a Full Name Field to my form. I checked with AWeber and they verified with me that, indeed, my form has a full name field saved.
Could you please look into this issue for me?
The error message pertains to the type of the field on your JotForm form. Please try using a Full Name field, as found under the Quick Tools on the left of our form builder. You seem to be using an Email field instead at the moment, which is only named as "Name".
The Full Name field can be integrated to third parties, they were designed as such. The Full Name field can integrate to fields for names, Email field integrates with emails, Address field can forward an address, and so on.
The following guide has more information on why it is best to use the proper field types for successful integrations, even though the guide was written for SalesForce. The same reasons apply to Aweber integration as well:
Mastering SalesForce with JotForm
Please let us know if using an actual Full Name field from under Quick Tools is able to resolve the problem. Thank you.

i'm a very recently out ftm transgender, and my fiance told me he might not want to be with me because of it. He seems really sad whenever he brings it up an lately he's actually been a jerk, purposely referring to me with female nicknames and pronouns. I don't know what to do.
Most Helpful Guy
I'm guessing this problem happened after you told him you were transgender. I really wish there was more advice for this but it sounds like a difficult issue with not much you can really do since it's really about his views about you being transgender I feel.
If I found out a girl I was dating was transgender, I would probably freak out. Not going to lie. I probably wouldn't express it outright but in my mind I wouldn't really know what to do.
This is probably a terrible analogy, but imagine you meet someone online. They seem perfect. They look great in their pictures and the two of you get along great. Unfortunately they live across the globe so you can never meet them in person and are only able to message them. But that's enough, because you're happy communicating with them in any way possible. After a few years, you know you're in love with them. But one day you find out they're not real. You find out that a computer has been generating responses to whatever you say.
I imagine that's what it must feel like for him. Maybe not quite that extreme but nonetheless he feels that you're not the person he thought you were and the way he views you has been permanently changed. It's not really something in your control as it's something he sort of has to deal with on his own. He has to learn to love this new you even though you're the same person you always were.
Sorry this is sort of out of my expertise as I've never encountered a problem like that in my life but hopefully this will give you a new way to look at it so that you can come up with the best plan of action. Goodluck my friend!00|00|0

Penguin Poets: The Georgians
There's been a long gap in my acquisitions of books from the Penguin Poets series with their wonderful patterned covers. This is only because, in the course of my regular browsing I just haven't turned up a new one for a while. The dry spell was broken today in Salisbury by this charity shop find - a great pattern too.

A/N: This story includes graphic descriptions of non-consensual sex. In this chapter, there is slight inflation/enema fetish.
When it was their turn, Kyle contemplated making James go down to the showers naked – that would certainly send a message. But there was no fun in rushing things. Kyle had a lot of time to ensure James' utter debasement – one day soon, James wouldn't be allowed to go anywhere without crawling, naked, offering himself up to any man who wanted him. Kyle was patient to allow him to wear clothes. This time.
James, completely oblivious to how close he had been to making the trip down to the shower naked, dressed. They stepped out of the cell together, Kyles' hand a commanding presence on the back of the boy's neck, guiding him. James' eyes were still red-rimmed with tears, and his ass still throbbed from the earlier abuse.
They joined the throng of men heading down to the shower.
"Well, whose this?" asked a thirty-something, bald man with a crooked nose. He grinned nastily at James.
James, naively, hoped that Kyle would respond for him. He didn't get that luxury. Kyle squeezed the back of his neck hard.
"I'm… I'm a faggot cock slut and I love h-having my ass f-fucked," James said, casting his eyes downward, toward the floor.
The man's grin widened. "I'd help ya out with that but we'd hold everyone up," he said. "Maybe in a bit, eh?"
"Maybe," Kyle said. "He needs cleaning up first. Come round during rec and I'll make sure he spreads for you."
"Yeah?" the man asked.
"First fuck's free for friends," Kyle said. "After that, it's a pack a go. Half for his mouth."
"A pack?" the man asked, raising his eyebrows. That was expensive.
"Yeah, have you seen his face? He's cute as fuck, if you're into that. Plus he was a virgin before I fucked him. Still nice and tight, though not for long. He cries real nice, too. Show him your face, slut."
So this was what his life was going to be? Pimped out for cigarettes. James shifted in place, his eyes on the floor. Disobeying wasn't worth it, for such a simple order, no matter how it was phrased. Flushing, he raised his face toward the man.
"Aye," the man said. "I'll try 'im out, mind. For free, you said."
"Sure. Might not want to wait for too long, though, if you want a tight hole to fuck. I can tell this one is going to be a favourite."
James winced. He licked his lips. "Please," he said.
"What's that, slut?" Kyle asked, still gripping the back of his neck, marching him forward toward the showers.
"Can't I… I want to be all yours," James said, not sounding at all convincing. "Your personal fuck slut." It was simply a matter of self-preservation. He didn't know how he could exist, bending over for the entire prison as some form of currency.
Kyle laughed. "It's selfish not to share. You don't want me to be selfish, do you?"
James' stomach asked. He opened his mouth to respond, to beg some more, but then they were at the showers, and Kyle shoved him toward the changing room. "Everyone, this is James. James, why don't you introduce yourself. The way I taught you."
James paled. There were at least thirty men in the room. "I can't," he said, his voice a near whisper.
"You will," Kyle said. "Or I'll have you bend over that bench and give your ass to every one of them, right now."
James swallowed, his hands clenching, his face flushing with humiliation. "I'm a faggot cock slut and I love having my ass fucked," he said, so quietly that only those nearest him could hear him. They laughed and nudged each other, eyeing him up and down.
"Louder," Kyle said. "Don't make me ask it again. They better hear you in the next fucking cell block."
James took in a breath, slanting his eyes down toward the ground, not wanting to look at them. "I'm a faggot cock slut and I love having my ass fucked!" he exclaimed, to the whole room. The room immediately erupted into laughter and raucous comments.
"Good slut," Kyle said. "Now get undressed and get into the shower blocks."
Kyle stepped away, getting undressed smoothly and quickly, leaving James to his own devices.
James lingered, hoping that if he just took long enough, he would somehow be able to avoid whatever was coming next. However, Kyle didn't wait for him, leaving the room, and James became increasingly aware of the men staring at him. Suddenly, he felt unsafe. More unsafe than he felt with Kyle, somehow. He finished undressing hurriedly, aware of the eyes raking his flesh, swallowing as he hurried after Kyle before he was gang raped in the changing room. A fate which he felt sure he would be punished for.
Kyle was already under the water, and James had to admit that he was magnificent. He stopped, staring for a moment, watching the water sluice over smooth, muscular skin. Normally, he would never stare like that, but Kyle had fucked him. Kyle had dominated him thoroughly. When Kyle turned, James got a magnificent view of that thick cock, and he wondered how something like that had ever fit inside him. Kyle chuckled.
"And you say you're not a faggot," he said.
James flushed, deeply. The comment immediately sent his gaze back to the floor. Other men showering eyed him with a predatory gaze. James stepped toward Kyle without even having to be told.
Kyle shoved James under the spray of water with some soap. "Get clean. Quickly," he said. The water was lukewarm, but James did as he was told, scrubbing quickly. He didn't want to be punished over something so simple.
When Kyle decided that James was clean enough, he shoved the boy out of the way. "Kneel," he said. "Wait on your knees until I'm done."
James looked down at the scummy floor, his face twisting. He looked at Kyle, not quite believing the order, and was met with a hard backhand for not obeying immediately. His head snapped to the side. Immediately, he fell to his knees, trying to avoid more. He licked his lips, surprised when there was no blood. The blow had stung.
Kyle washed himself. Men filtered in and out of the shower, leering at James, kneeling next to Kyle's feet. Kyle reached for the shower head. He unscrewed the head slowly, and the hose came free, still spraying water. James watched, confused – was he allowed to do that? What was he doing it for?
"Get on your hands and knees," Kyle said, moving behind James, the hose in hand.
James looked behind him, still confused, but he did as he was told. Then, he felt something at his hole, and he realised what was happening as Kyle slid the hose inside him.
"No!" James yelped, reaching behind him to dislodge the hose. He could already feel the water gushing into him, a little too warm to be comfortable.
"You little shit," Kyle said, as James tried to pull the hose free. He reached a hand between James' legs and squeezed his balls hard.
James screamed, immediately slapping his hand back onto the gross tiled floor, retching. The pain was so sudden and so intense that he couldn't cope with it, black hovering at the edges of his vision. As soon as he stopped trying to resist, Kyle stopped squeezing his balls, but the pain lingered.
"You'll stay right where you are until I come and get you," Kyle said, just watching for a moment.
James whimpered. The water was gushing into him at an alarming rate. He was already starting to feel a little uncomfortable. Worse, Kyle left the room, presumably to get dressed. After a minute or so, James really started to sweat. He felt bloated and uncomfortable. A cramp ripped through him, making him gasp, his toes curling. His nails clawed against the tiles as the water kept filling him, his toes curling as he tried to endure it. He fixed his eyes on the door of the shower, frantically praying that Kyle would return as the pressure got worse and worse.
His stomach rounded slightly, like he had just eaten a five course dinner, and Kyle still didn't return. James was in a world of pain, his teeth clenching. At some point, the pain just didn't seem worth it, and before he'd reached a conscious decision, he reached behind himself and pulled the hose out. He emptied himself, crying at the humiliating splash of water leaving his bowels. He cried because he couldn't believe that he had fallen so far already. He cried because he knew he would be punished, probably worse than he could imagine. He cried because the cramps were the worst pain he had ever experienced. He cried because he was never going to be the same.
Kyle came back to James sobbing, still on his hands and knees, still emptying himself. He sighed, walked up, and put his hand on James head, like he was a dog.
"Are you sorry?" he asked.
James blinked, not daring to look at Kyle, quaking in place. He was already do afraid of the other man. "Y-yes," he said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. It hurt so much, and you didn't come back, please. I was trying so hard to be good."
"Were you?" Kyle asked. "I got caught up, but that's no excuse." He paused, running his fingers through James' wet hair. "Do you want to make it up to me, or do you want me to punish you? It's up to you."
There was no question. "P-please let me make it up to you, please," he said.
Kyle nodded. "I thought so," he said. Moving behind James, he reached for the hose, and slipped it back into James' body.
James sobbed, tensing. He didn't think he could do that again. He also knew that he had absolutely no choice. The water gushed into his body. James whimpered as the cramps started again. He already felt tender and bloated from the last round.
Luckily for James, just as the pressure was once again becoming unbearable, the water was turned off, the showers emptying out. Kyle didn't remove the hose, though, leaving James to sweat, sob and cramp, his stomach visibly bloated.
Kyle was just about to pull the hose out when two guards entered the shower block – one of them was the same guard as before, the one who had shoved his baton inside of James. He took one look at the scene, laughed, and nudged his friend. "This is the little faggot I was telling you about."
James was in too much pain to do anything but moan.
"Inmate, leave him here, we'll take care of him. Get back to your cell. Shower's over."
Kyle paused, reluctant. He sent the guards a surly expression – he knew that he didn't have any choice, but he had plans for the boy. Plans that were being interrupted by the guards.
"Get the fuck outta here," the other guard said. Kyle reluctantly did as he was told, exiting the shower room, leaving James to his fate. Wasn't worth putting himself at risk.
One of the guards moved forward and pulled the hose out of James.
In too much pain to even feel embarrassed, James just moaned with relief, emptying himself out onto the floor, his stomach grumbling loudly. The water, for the most part, ran clear. He was nice and cleaned out. Trembling, exhausted, he kept his eyes on the floor.
"Get him," the other – new – guard said. "I'm not fucking playing with him here, let's take him to the rec room."
Which was how James ended up being escorted – naked – by two guards to the guard's break room so they could play with him at their leisure.

I have a lot of sisters to exact I have 7, I'm the youngest of all and from my experience by listening to them, it seems that somehow they pressure their men to marry them. One of then thew the excused of " We;ve been together for 4 years now, if you don't marry me soon, I'm breaking up with u? Sure enough two months later A WEDDING.

'CSNews' Webinar Highlights Green Benefits
Top executives from Ricker Oil and Rutter's detail their companies' eco-friendly tactics.
By Linda Lisanti
NEW YORK -- Green initiatives can be applied to every convenience retailer's operations whether they have one store or 1,000 stores, according to yesterday's "Get Green By Going Green" Webinar hosted by Convenience Store News and sponsored by McLane Co.
"A lot of people get nervous talking about green because they think it's not going to be applicable if they have one store or even 25 stores. But a lot of this is applying common sense," said Jay Ricker, president of Ricker Oil
Co. based in Anderson, Ind.
Ricker joined CSNews editor-in-chief Don Longo, Rutter's Farm Stores president and CEO Scott Hartman, and Stuart Clark, senior vice president of sales, grocery supply chain solutions, for McLane in presenting a variety of information to help convenience retailers operate environmentally friendly, sustainable and profitable stores.
Both Ricker and Hartman agreed lighting is one of the best opportunities for c-stores to embrace green thinking. At the stores or even at home, Ricker said replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with CFLs is an easy,
effective change to make. He also noted that switching T12 systems with T5 or T8 lighting can result in a 35 percent energy cut.
All retailers encounter lighting replacements in the life of a store so it's a change anyone can make, according to Hartman, who added that not only does new energy-efficient lighting save money, but it also tends to give off a
better quality of lighting.
"We are using a lot of lighting in our stores when it isn't necessary," Hartman said, noting that motion detector switches are also effective in conserving energy.
In terms of refrigeration, the simplest thing retailers can do, Ricker advised, is to take a look at their practices for restocking the coolers. If store employees and vendors leave the doors open when restocking, that can really tally up on energy bills, he said.
C-store operators can do a lot of green things that have no return on investment (ROI), or they can only do things that produce a ROI. As Hartman explained, choosing just one will shortchange the approach. That's why Rutter's focuses on both. "You need a good balance," he said. "You can do the right thing, while also staying in business."
Rutter's list of green initiatives over the last several years includes:
-- Recycling programs, including a customer contest to design a recycling
-- White solar reflective roofs for cooling;
-- A computer-managed refrigeration, lighting and store climate system;
-- Energy efficient T5 and LED lighting;
-- Lighting motion detectors in restrooms and back rooms; and
-- Tankless water heaters
Like Rutter's and Ricker Oil, convenience distributor McLane has put in place a companywide environmental initiative aimed at creating more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable practices throughout its
operations called Green Advantage.
Clark highlighted several process changes underway, such as lowering the highway speeds of its trucks to conserve fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions; maximizing the efficiency of loads carried and reducing the amount of total trips; encouraging carpooling among its employees; and working with manufacturers to create more environmentally efficient packaging to reduce corrugates and plastics.
Citing consumer research, Longo pointed out that the poor national economy hasn't dampened consumers' interest in buying green. "Surprisingly, only about 20 percent of consumers say they are shopping the natural products channel less, buying fewer environmentally-friendly products, or have decreased their use of organic foods," said Longo. "Indeed, more people are cutting back on visits to the doctor than are cutting back on buying organic."
Although it's possible the current economic recession will slow the green movement down, Hartman said green is no longer a fad. "It's here to stay. Just like we'll come out of the recession, green will come out of the recession stronger. So, embrace it."

Young actor Prithviraj is the busiest actor currently in Mollywood, with his dates filled upto 2018. He has a bunch of projects including five historical films and a multilingual.
He, during his initial phase of career, has delivered punch lines that underestimates women. He was talking about the same in an interview given to Times of India. The actor said that he felt guilty about these dialogues later.
"I have been part of an audience that have clapped vociferously for such punch lines and instances in theatres in the 90s. Frankly, even I am guilty of having delivered such lines. Now do they translate into influencing reality in our society? I am not the final authority on that. But I will not have something like that in my films, especially in the current circumstances.
We tell ourselves that we are walking hand in hand towards a more modern society every day even though there are principles within our society which seem archaic, especially towards women. For the last few years I have been uncomfortable mouthing such lines because I find them very distasteful. As for Vargam, any discerning viewer would know that my character Solomon Joseph is a tribute to Mangalasseri Neelakandan in Devasuram.
I don't think you can club these men or these films as misogynistic. Because, whenever these characters treated the women in their lives unfairly, the film was pretty clear on portraying them as villains. It is when they realise the fault of theirs that they turn a new leaf in their lives. Also, these two movies had two of Malayalam's strongest female leads. Bhanu in Devasuram is till date the strongest female role and Mangalasseri Neelakandan loses his battle only to one person and that's her." the actor said in the interview.
Prithviraj's upcoming release is Oozham directed by Jeethu Joseph. He is currently busy on the sets of Ezra and My Story.

Global Study Lounge
In partnership with the International Program & Global Engagement Office, the One World Initiative's splash wall located in the Global Study Lounge in Library 1000. The goal of the One World Wall is to engage students in ongoing narratives stemming from global perspectives.
One World Initiative Events
The success of the One World Initiative depends on the contributions of campus departments and organizations hosting a range of activities (lectures, films, performances etc.). The One World Initiative will help promote your activity across the campus and beyond. Funds to help support campus activities are also available. For more information click here.
Why One World?
Welcome to the "One World" website. This project, initiated by former Provost Joseph Sheley, is designed to help everyone in the Sacramento State community – students, faculty, and staff – recognize how interdependent our world really is. Even though specific issues faced by people in one part of the globe may appear to be different from those faced elsewhere, there are almost always connections between them that are often overlooked. The aim of this undertaking is to help each of us look for and understand those connections – and then, if necessary, figure out what actions we can take to improve the quality of life for everyone on the planet. I know, that is a huge goal and a tremendous responsibility, but it is incumbent upon us as members of a university community and of the global community to at least try to address.
Each year, the One World coordinating committee will select a new theme through which to explore our global interconnectedness. Our hope is that members of the Sac State community will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for how our actions affect others and how what happens in distant locales affects our lives here. We envision a myriad of ways in which these lessons can be taught and we look forward to sharing these opportunities with the local community, as well.
One World Initiative and Your Event
If you, your program, club, or center, is organizing an event linked to the One World Initiative's 2017-2018 theme of Global Perspectives on Community. Please email a description of the event, the date and location to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will be happy to include your event on our website and assist with promoting it across the campus, including digital signage.
We request that in your promotion of the event you include reference to the One World Initiative so that the campus community knows that it is a part of this exciting global initiative. Contact us and we can send you a copy of our special mark.
To apply for funding for your event, please click here for our funding request form and email the completed form to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Like it's not our fault that your physically gorgeous/perfect/etc and any guy that doesn't look like a model will be intimidated to approach you because of the fear of being rejected.
I just personally don't understand since it's always expected that guys should make the first move.
Most Helpful Girl
I don't know a single girl who "looks down" on a guy because he is shy. If anything, the confusion can be on our end. A lot of beautiful women feel like something is wrong with them because guys never approach, when in reality the guy is intimidated by her beauty, and we forget that sometimes. Then there's those guys that mean no harm, but stare and do weird things that we don't understand until they express that they're shy. But generally, we don't demean guys because they're shy. It can actually be cute to us.00|00|0

These numbers aren't bad. But with today's Hyundai Sonata offering up to 35 mpg highway, and several hybrid models rated at well over 30 mpg combined, there are better options for those who want to use as little fuel as possible.
The Mazda Mazda6 is no standout with respect to fuel economy, or being a particularly green choice. Its EPA ratings, of 18 to 22 mpg city and 27 to 31 highway are merely average, or a bit below average, among mid-size sedans.

Finding a coat that I absolutely love and that fits me nicely it's not very easy because there's always something about it that I don't like. Even though I love my cardigan from Primark (SEE IT HERE) and I think it's really warm, the weather here is really windy, so a cardigan might not be the right solution and I went to look for something different!
Fortunately, sales have already started and I was able to find this lovely and very very warm coat on Pull & Bear on sale (39,99€ -
What do you thing about my new coat? Which type of coats/cardigans do you like the most?
