I reached up and released the tie that had held my assistant, Jimmy's, head in place on my desktop and turned his head so that we could kiss. I laid there, his arms and legs still tied off close together through the kneehole in the desk, closely encasing him for a good twenty minutes, fully intending to fuck him again, to get my rocks off again, before I released him. I wanted to see those green eyes floating in semen. I was testing him, waiting for him to ask to be released, and then in one more assault on his asshole, I'd teach him once and for all that it was over when I said it was over. But he didn't say anything. Maybe he understood what total submission was now.
But, then, maybe not, because I whispered in his ear. 'Are you totally mine now? Can we move forward with no more of this nonsense from you, or are you out on your rear from this job?'
'Yes, yes, I'm totally yours now,' he whispered back to me. 'I want you now more than ever before. But only if you throw that nasty penis sheath thing away.'
Ah, now, this wasn't being totally submissive. So, I would take that last fuck, and then maybe another one after that, if necessary, but it wasn't going to be the fuck that I'd anticipated.
With a sigh, I pulled out of him and picked up the expander sheath I'd penetrated him with before. I strapped it onto my penis and then I enfolded Jimmy once again in the close body meld that turned me on and fucked his brains out at ten and a half leather- and stud-augmented inches. He understood where he'd gone wrong now, at last, and he took this fuck quietly and stoically and said all of the right things when it was over.
But he was right about one thing he'd said in the beginning of the evening. When I was finished, all tension had left me and I was able to release him from the desk and get back to my computer. I wrapped up a winning proposal in short order.
While I was finishing up my work, Jimmy moved around as if in a trance, picking up his clothes and padding off with a bow-legged gait to the men's room to clean himself up. When he was back together, he returned and asked me if he was needed any more this evening. I instructed him to sit on the sofa in my office and wait until I released him. He sat without question or complaint. A good sign.
I was still naked, except for my dress shirt draped from my shoulders and my shoes and socks. But I'd come out of the last fuck so invigorated and so sure now of where I wanted this proposal to go that I had just plopped down and began to work my computer keyboard. More than an hour later, I pushed the save button one last time and stood up and stretched. I felt really good, full of energy. A good job done.
I looked around and there sat Jimmy, waiting for me to release him for the evening.
'Stand up and strip,' I said.
Jimmy started to say something, but then he remembered that we were having a little lesson in domination. He stood and stripped down again. He still looked beautiful. There was no sign of the ordeal he'd gone through the earlier in the evening.
'Stand over there, in the center of the room.' He followed my command.
I picked up the blind cord and the tube of lubricant and walked over to him. 'Down on your knees and open your mouth to me,' I said. He did so, and reached for my cock. 'No,' I said. 'I just said to open to me, not to show any signs of control. Hold perfectly still. And raise your wrists to me.'
I tied off his wrists again and pushed them to his back. I pushed my cock into his mouth with one hand and then I took his head with both of my hands. 'A lesson of control,' I said. 'I control everything. You control nothing. All you are is a warm, wet chamber for my cock. Just be warm and wet and open to me. Leave the rest of the control to me.'
And although he couldn't help gagging a bit, he tried to comply fully with me. Maybe he had learned what I demanded.
'Now go tighter. Touch me closely on all sides.' That wasn't as hard to do as it sounded, because I was so thick and long. I pumped his head back and forth on my cock for a few minutes, checking his obedience, which was total, and getting my cock hard again.
Then, pulling out of his mouth, I said, 'Go down on your back right here.' Jimmy rolled back onto his butt and then on his back without comment or objection. I went down on my knees between his thighs and pulled his butt up on my thighs. I brought his hands over his head and back to his front.
'Now, I'm going to fuck you again. And, as I work my way in, I want you to jerk yourself off. And I want you to cum when I'm in to the hilt, and not before. Understand?'
Jimmy nodded, a serious look on his face. I slathered my dick with lube, guided it to his asshole, and rotated it around, working it in, while he began to stroke himself and pulling at his balls with his bound hands. I could see his mind racing on how he was going to ejaculate on cue. Good. He hadn't questioned the instruction.
I slowly worked my way into him, as he pulled on his cock. I was closely watching the tension build in him and managed to be at eight inches inside him when I said 'Now' in a raspy voice and he shot his load up my belly. As he ejaculated, I went in the last half inch. I looked down at the white globs of semen running down my black belly hair and perched on top of his golden-red pubic hairs. I liked what I saw, but this wasn't the turn-on for me. The show of control was turning me on, but I'd need the closeness the merging of bodies before I could reach an orgasm.
'You realize this was just for instruction, don't you?' I said. 'I was the one who controlled when you had fulfilled this task, not you. Even though you thought this was your responsibility. It wasn't. You realize that now, don't you? You realize that I held off filling you until you had cum.'
'Yes, Sir.' Jimmy answered meekly.
'And you know now that this isn't all that I want, don't you? Chris learned quickly. How quickly can you learn?'
'I can learn quickly, Sir,' Jimmy answered quietly. 'I want you inside me. And I know that you want closeness, tightness as well as submission and control. Is that right?'
'Yes, that's right. I'm going to unbind you now, and I'm going to fuck your lights out right here and in this position, and I want you to show that you can handle the tightness and closeness without the bonds. Chris showed that he could. Let's see if you can. You will know when you succeed because your insides will be bathed in my cum. Do you want that?'
'Oh yes, please, Sir. Flood me with your cum.'
I untied him then and enfolded him in my arms, belly to belly and nipples to nipples. His curly red chest hair tickled my pecs. I wrapped my arms around him tightly, holding his back down on the floor. I was pleased when he wrapped his arms around me as well and held me tightly, almost taking the breath out of me with his strong arms. His legs wrapped around mine below my buttocks and he pushed them in toward my legs as strongly as he could, holding me tight and tightening his ass canal as much as he could around my already-buried cock. We kissed deeply and then he buried his face in my neck, trying to pull himself into me at every point as much as he could. I felt the sexual urge flood into me, and I pumped and pumped and pumped at various levels, sometimes pulling out to give his prostate attention. He moaned and trembled at this but continued to hang on to me as tightly as he could.
When I came, flooding the very center of him in spasms of semen, he ejaculated again himself and collapsed back on the rug, arms and legs askew.
'Sorry,' he murmured. 'It was just too much. I couldn't hang on any longer. I've been royally fucked. This is the greatest.'
'Do you want me to pull out of you now?' I asked.
'Whatever you want,' he answered quietly. 'You are in total control. Do what you want with me.'
Good choice. 'Well, I want to lay here inside you a bit longer, so tighten up those arms and legs again.' He did so, right on cue.
After we'd gotten up and both cleaned up again in the men's room, I told Jimmy to straighten up my office while I tidied up my desk. When we left, I told him we'd use the stairs rather than the elevator. It was twelve flights, but he didn't utter a peep; he just followed me over to the door to the stairwell.
On the sixth-floor landing, I told him to stop and face the banister. He did so without question. I came up close behind him, unzipped my fly and pulled out my blunderbuss. I doubled him over at the waist on the banister with one hand, so that he was facing down the well from the sixth floor, and I worked up my cock again with the other hand. When I was satisfied that I was at least half hard and able to penetrate him, I pulled his pants and briefs down off his buttocks, pushed his legs out to open him up as much as possible under these circumstances, and pushed my dick into his hole. I wasn't fully hard yet and he'd been plowed several times already this evening, so I went in rather easily even in a dry fuck. He grunted and gritted his teeth as I entered him, but he grabbed down for the banister slats with white-knuckled fists and took me without comment or objection.
Once in, I tightened him up by getting his legs between mine. I draped my chest over his back so that we were both folded at the waist over the banister and facing down six flights of stairwells. I latched onto one of his ear lobes with my teeth and held on gently. I covered his fists with mine, holding him as if he once more were bound.
I could feel him grunting and groaning, and then sighing and moaning in ecstasy as my cock lengthened and thickened inside him and filled him once more to capacity. I had made this stop as a further lesson, teaching him to submit to me whenever and wherever I wanted, but I found this place and position, and letting my cock rise within him, even more sexually stimulating than the fucks I'd performed on him earlier in the evening.
As I filled him to the end and started to pump, I took one of his fists and pushed down the front of his pants and we stroked him off together, his hand under mine, encasing his cock, while I controlled the stroking. As I sensed I was cuming, I let loose of his earlobe with my teeth and started tongue-fucking his ear. He held his head closer to my tongue, loving the sensation. Once more we managed to cum almost simultaneously, me deep inside him and he down those six floors of stair well.
'Wow,' was all he could say when it was over.
'Yes, wow,' I responded. 'Now how do you feel about needing control?'
'I'm completely yours. Do what you want with me wherever you want to do me.' Again, the right answer.
We left the building, and Jimmy gave a little wave, saying he'd see me the next day, and turned from me to walk down the street away from me.
'You're coming with me,' I said. 'Here's my car. Get in.'
Without hesitation, Jimmy walked over and got in the back of the limousine that was waiting for me at the curb. My burly chauffeur held the door for him just as if this was the most natural thing he'd seen. He and I had already had our innings on the point of who was in control.
We were a good twenty minutes out, cruising to the edge of the city and beyond, when I turned and instructed Jimmy to strip again. I could tell that his instinct was to look toward the back of the chauffeur's head and to say something about the presence of another man, but he gained control of himself in time and proceeded to strip. While he did so, I unbuckled and unzipped my pants and took them off and set them aside. I didn't remove my coat, but I unbuttoned my shirt and pulled it open. I'd be wanting to feel the closeness of skin on skin. I stroked my cock briefly, but I took the cue from the stairwell and didn't wait for it to fully harden.
'Sit down on the floor,' I said, and Jimmy sat down on the commodious backseat floor, his back to the bench seat. I went down on my knees in front of him, took his head in my hands and told him to open his mouth to me. He did so, I maneuvered my cock to his lips, and then I face fucked him for a couple of minutes. Just long enough to get my cock good and wet with his spit. Then I turned and sat back on the center of the bench seat and told him to sit on my lap, facing me. He did so. I leaned up and I told him to put his arms around me between my skin and my shirt and jacket and then I leaned back, trapping his arms around me and plastering his chest to mine. I lifted his hips and lowered his ass onto my half hard on, making the entry easier because my cock was slathered up with his spit and because I wasn't fully hard yet.
I rocked back and forth, my dick lengthening and thickening inside him. I didn't feel the strong sexual urge yet, but I was about to fix that. Jimmy had passed the test of being fucked in front of another man. We'd now see how up and close he could sustain this obedience.

Egypt Islamist Elite Woos Mubarak Tycoons as Mursi Seeks Funds
Black lacquered walls and crystalline lighting greeted attendees at a two-day London conference touting investment opportunities in Egypt.
For some of those in what the May Fair Hotel calls its gorgeously opulent Danziger meeting room, the Jan. 14-15 sales pitch was personal. Wealthy exiles from post-revolutionary Egypt, they were being invited home by representatives of the countrys Islamic government, including Hassan Malek, a leading businessman in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Most of these investors, they own large projects in Egypt, said Malek, who spoke at the conference. Their coming back mostly would be a sign of reassurance to others who might want to invest their money here.

"High quality care on ward C52"
About: Queen's Medical Centre / Accident and emergency Queen's Medical Centre Accident and emergency Nottingham NG7 2UH Queen's Medical Centre / Trauma and orthopaedics Queen's Medical Centre Trauma and orthopaedics NG7 2UH
Posted by bikerboy (as ),
For the last few years I have been looking after my neighbour who was 93 she recently had a fall at home and fractured her arm and was admitted to ward C52 at the QMC.
The quality of care she received was of the highest standard from all of the staff involved in her care. Unfortunately due to underlying health problems she passed away at the weekend. What I found quite exceptional was the way she was cared for with every attempt at treatment given, alongside this was the treatment I received as her next of kin with detailed explanations given by the on call medical team and the nursing staff who checked that I was ok as she entered the end of life phase.
I wanted to place on record my thanks and appreciation for the nursing staff and medical team that cared in such an exemplary way, they should rightly be proud of the work that they do and are a credit to the QMC and the NHS.
Response from Jessica Haggett, Patient Experience Officer, Communications, Nottingham University Hospitals Trust 4 years ago
Please accept our condolences for the loss of your neighbour. It's lovely to hear your kind words regarding the care and compassion shown by colleagues, and we will of course ensure these words are passed on to Ward C52.

Fast Track USA for Dutch Citizens
Frequent fliers and business travelers with Dutch nationality can access Fast Track Services to join the United States fast track program known as Global Entry.

Those with a good memory will recall that both the Irish and Spanish financial crises had an over-heating property market at the eye of the storm. In the UK, the average house price is a shade under £216000 and average household income is $26300 (median value, Office for National Statistics). The house price index has steadily risen since 2012 from a little over 500 to stand above 700 currently. Earnings have not kept up with house price inflation.
Current data suggest that the UK house price has increased by 2.1% in the year to April whilst weekly earnings rose by 2.4% and inflation generally hit 2.7%, making homes less affordable overall. The rate of increase slowed last month, for the third month in sequence, recording a drop in April of 0.2%. The current level of annual house price rise is the weakest seen since 2013 and three successive months of declining house prices has not been seen since 2009.
At some stage, either as a result of higher inflation or simply in order to provide room for manoeuvres, Bank of England interest rates must rise. Such a hike would be passed on to mortgage borrowers, making repayments dearer and inevitably forcing some homes into foreclosure for those maxed out currently. Should this coincide with bad news on the Brexit front (and it is hard to imagine any good news on it), it has the potential to lead to a sharp downwards realignment of the house price.
The rate of new mortgage approvals also dipped last month by 2% with 64645 new loans approved, representing a seven-month low. Some evidence suggests that "Buy-to-Let" landlords made purchases earlier to avoid a new tax which came into force in April which led to the depressed April figure.

Perfect container for a flower.
[Foliis Photography]
Perfect container for a flower.
This is a cool way to use the gradient tool. It's pretty sweet…
#1: Open the image#2: Duplicate the background (this is for your own good-actually it's always best to work in layers)#3: Desaturate the image#4: Adjust the brightness/contrast to have dark and light. Less gray is better (but I have some in this one)#5: Adjust levels if you want. Curves are a good idea too. #6: Choose the gradient tool #7: Choose one. Or make one. #8: Drag on the image in any direction (make a line). Longer lines have smoother transitions from color to color; short ones are sharp. #9: Choose one of the blending modes and adjust the opacity Done!Variation- I did everything the same except I also adjusted the curves and chose my own colors This might be a common way to use it. This is how I learned it…Anyway enjoy 🙂


text: Extending the deadline would set a very bad precedent, allowing absentee voters to cast their votes after the physical polls close. Of course, there could be another motive. As Byron suggests, by stopping the current absentee ballot process, the DFL may be preparing to launch a second suit after the election, claiming disenfranchisement of absentee voters. But this is like the boy who kills his parents and then begs the court for sympathy because he is an orphan: in such a scenario, voters will have been disenfranchised by the DFL, and no one else. That might not be a disappointment for the DFL, however, for it appears that their political calculations may be predicated on maximizing the non-absentee vote, and minimizing the absentee vote.

Liverpool FC Set To Meet Christian Benteke's Release Clause
Liverpool FC could meet Aston Villa's release clause for key striker after the sale of Raheem Sterling
Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers have been monitoring the sensational goal poacher for quite a while now. Previously sending in a bid for the striker that got rejected by the club. However, Liverpool are willing to tempt Aston Villa again for the second time to lure the fantastic striker to Anfield.
However, Aston Villa look forward to the full price written in the striker's contract and would not accept part payment. With Liverpool completing a record deal for an Englishman – which saw winger Raheem Sterling join the Etihad side on Tuesday for £49m, It is confident that the club can meet the full fees of £32m for the amazing 24 years old striker.
The Belgium international striker has become the number priority for Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers in this summer transfers. Villa will fight to keep their man even though they know Liverpool can trigger the clause in the contract.
The 33 years old Rickie Lambert is a target for West Brom, but Brendan Rodgers will have to be patient not to let him go until he secures the signature of Christian Benteke. Ironically, Rickie Lambert snubbed a deal to join Villa in the January transfer window.
Christian Benteke has been in brilliant form for Aston Villa and undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the Premier League now. The arrival of the striker from Genk in 2012 has been one of a kind and really paid off as the player has netted 49 times in 99 appearances. With his recent move out of the Villa Park has attracted a number of premier league clubs if which Liverpool FC is favorite to land him.
With Brendan Rodgers looking to strengthen his attacking side as well as find a replacement for Luis Suarez, Christian Beneteke hits the spotlight.

The time has come to cut taxes for every Hoosier, in the city, in the factory and on the farm.
For that reason, today I made my fourth major policy announcement proposing a 10 percent cut in the personal income tax for Hoosiers.
I believe strongly that when government has too much money, it needs to return that money to taxpayers who first earned it. My proposal includes plans to cut the state's individual income tax rate, maintain the state's reserves at a minimum of 12.5 percent of appropriations, and continue to honestly balance the budget by holding the line on spending.
We will make Indiana the most attractive place in the Midwest to start a business, grow a business, or get a job.

Form looks different after embedding to my pageAsked by cebtampa on July 07, 2014 at 12:36 PM
I am using Joomla for my website. I have used JotForm to create several forms, however, once I paste the code from JotForm in to Joomla, the formatting of the form is different and does not appear as it does in JotForm.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you.
Are you using the 'Joomla' embed instruction/code from the Jotform 'Setup & Embed' selections?
JotForm Support
I would advise to follow what "owdd" have suggested. If the Joomla embed method creates a conflict to the page, I would recommend using our iFrame method: http://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code
Thank you!

Prostitute Colette volunteers to take on her colleague's teenage son to satisfy her own broodiness and also lure back her ex, however she finds herself on the run from a pimp and from her burgeoning feelings for the young man.
Considering he made his name as the screenwriter of such memorable films The Girl On The Bridge and Rue Des Plaisirs, it's surprising that the scenario proves to be the weak link in Serge Frydman's directorial debut.
The premise itself is clumsily established, as hooker Vanessa Paradis' ticking biological clock prompts her to respond to a vague acquaintance's request for her to collect her teenage son from an orphanage. But Frydman thenceforth fails to make much of the brooding Paradis' relationship with the naive but horny Vincent Rottiers, as they high-tail it across the Low Countries in an effort to shake off the pimp who killed the kid's mother for secreting stolen cash. While the fugitives circle each other sweetly, the melodramatics become increasingly contrived.
Despite decent performances from the leads, this age-gap road movie struggles to overcome the shortcomings of Serge Frydman's screenplay and the inconsistency of his first-time direction.

LV= Cup: Leicester Tigers earn bonus point against Ospreys
Leicester Tigers got their LV= Cup campaign off to a winning start with a 39-16 bonus-point victory over Ospreys.
Last Updated: 08/11/13 10:38pm
The result was hardly a surprise given that no Welsh side has ever won at Welford Road and Ospreys never looked likely to end that remarkable record.
Both clubs fielded largely experimental sides made up of fringe and reserve-team players, but it was a veteran and England international Thomas Waldrom who rumbled over for Leicester's first try after 27 minutes.
Sam Harrison sniped his way over from close range on the hour mark and Harry Wells touched down in the midst of a maul 10 minutes from time.
Leicester were pushing for a bonus point and earned a five-metre lineout in the final minute, with Michael Noone spinning over from a perfectly-executed catch-and drive.
Owen Williams converted from the touchline to take his personal tally with the boot to 19 points.
Sam Williams scored a breakaway consolation try for the Ospreys late on and Sam Davies kicked three penalties and a conversion for the visitors.

The Brisbane Heat have confirmed the signing of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, with the Ashes cult hero booked in to take part in the T20 Big Bash over the coming summer.
Flintoff joins former England teammate Kevin Pietersen as another high-profile signing for the competition, with Pietersen lined up to play for the Melbourne Stars when the tournament kicks off in December.
Now 36, Flintoff had agreed to terms with the Heat back in 2010 before an injury forced his withdrawal. Now the popular figure will take up a residency at the Gabba after making his cricketing return with the Lancashire Lightning earlier in the year.
Heat coach Stuart Law was a team-mate with Flintoff at Lancashire and has been a key man in luring the burly big-hitter to Queensland.
"Stuart and I have had a few conversations and I'm clear on what we're looking to achieve in the competition. The Heat squad has some exciting talent and I'm looking forward to catching up with Dan Vettori again," Flintoff said.
"I really enjoyed my T20 season with Lancs and having the opportunity to keep playing is something I am very pleased about. It's going to be great heading out to Brisbane and getting into the swing of things for the BBL in December."
Flintoff will no doubt enjoy the fast and bouncy Gabba surface, which will give him ample help in his fast bowling as well as bring the ball onto the bat when he loosens the reins.
Law said he wanted Flintoff to do what he does best - bowl fast and clear the pickets.
"I've told Fred we signed him to win games of cricket, so that means we want him bowling 140km/hr, hitting sixes and using his experience around the group to get the job done," Law said.
"He's an enormous competitor and so I know he is coming out for the right reasons. The Brisbane fans will quickly discover he's a champion fella and I'm sure they will love having him with the team."
Flintoff will play the back half of the BBL season as well as juggling commitments with Channel Ten. He joins Vettori and West Indian leggie Samiel Badree as the Heat's international signings.
Brisbane Heat squad: Samuel Badree (Int), Joe Burns, Daniel Christian, Ben Cutting, Ryan Duffield, Andrew Flintoff (Int), Peter Forrest, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Dan Vettori (Int), Shane Watson, Nathan Reardon, Cameron Gannon, Mark Steketee, Nick Buchanan, James Peirson.

Manchester Metropolitan University
Our PGCE Music and PGCE Secondary Music with Specialist Instrument Teaching will prepare you for a career in music teaching and challenge your thoughts about music education. The Specialist Instrument Teaching route combines learning to teach music in the classroom and teaching your instrument (wind, brass, percussion, strings or voice) in different contexts. Applicants should note these are two separate PGCEs within the same programme so they will need to specify which one they are applying for. Trainees gain 60 Masters Level credits (1/3 of a Masters Degree) which can be used for progression to higher academic and professional awards. Applicants have the choice of university-based or school direct routes.
Entry requirements
Applicants require a degree at 2.1 or above, or equivalent; applicants with degrees in non-music subjects will be considered if they have shown the necessary skills to enter the course through professional work; at least 2 weeks of experience in relevant school setting(s); GCSE English language and mathematics grades C or above; a pass in the Professional Skills tests in numeracy and literacy.
Course modules
Core units: practice credit 1 (induction phase); practice credit 2 (teaching placement block a: formation of personal practice); practice credit 3 (teaching placement block b: development of personal practice); practice credit 4 (enrichment phase); professional practice; subject pedagogy (music).
Assessment methods
There are 2 elements of assessment: teaching, incorporating school experience files, that capture evidence of the range of your experiences, this element will be assessed by mentors and judged against the Standards for Qualified Teacher Status; written assignments, this element builds on the teaching experience and integrates theory with practice and observation. In addition, there are several course completion requirements: the record of professional development (a portfolio of evidence of personal and professional development); the career entry profile (completed at the point of becoming a newly qualified teacher and taken with students into their 1st post); satisfactory attendance and professional engagement with the course requirements.

Can you suggest something?

Because Easter (as with many "Christian" holidays) actually originates from an ancient pagan holiday. It was originally a celebration of the goddess Ostara, a goddess of fertility. Her sacred animal was a rabbit, and eggs are a pretty common symbol of fertility as well. Somewhere from all of this came the idea of an egg laying rabbit, which ended up associated with Easter even until today.
So basically: pagans. Same place we got Christmas trees and mistletoe.21|10|0

I was introduced to printmaking whilst completing a BA in Textile Design at Camberwell School of Art in 1983, mainly creating silkscreens and monoprints. I took up printmaking again in 1998 at the City Lit and fell in love with etching. I joined East London Printmakers in 2003, which gave we access to a well-equipped studio and an vibrant artistic community. I started experimenting with lino in 2005, and this has now become my main mode of expression. I joined Greenwich Printmakers in 2011, and the Printmakers Council in 2013.
The main themes in my work are masculinity in all its forms, and landscapes, particularly cityscapes. Living in London for 30 years has given me many opportunities for observing the city and it's multi-various moods. I started making prints of the city in response to a group show entitled Love Letter to London, held at the London Assembly. I created Bridge – east, a view from Waterloo Bridge, one of my favourite places to stand, look, and feel 'urban'. As this thematic series has grown, I have become interested in the dialogue between the sky and the buildings beneath.

Building Skills for Success in the Fast-Paced Classroom:
Optimizing Achievement for Students with Hearing Loss
Same great materials now come in a 3-ring binder with dividers. No price increase! Enhance your book with the included downloadable materials and other materials you collect. All of the contents of Building Skills for Success mesh incredibly well with Steps to Success curriculum materials – now both in binder format!
by Karen L. Anderson, PhD & Kathleen A. Arnoldi, MA
The purpose of this book is to provide resources that will assist these students in optimizing their achievement through improved access and self-advocacy. Many publications provide information on supporting students with hearing loss who have academic or language learning needs. The information contained in this book targets the "expanded core curriculum," or those skills that must be mastered in order to benefit from the core curriculum. This book is meant to be a practical ready-to-go resource for professionals who work with school-age children with hearing loss. Although applicable to students with hearing loss of all degrees, the information is especially pertinent to students who are mainstreamed into their neighborhood schools.
This is a valuable resource for professionals in training, new professionals and seasoned veterans. It also has almost 50 downloadable files for purchasers of the book (see Downloadable Book Materials).
Intended audience: Educators of deaf/hard of hearing, educational audiologists, speech language pathologists – the book has also been beneficial for family members!
"Your book, The Deaf Bible as I refer to it, has changed the way our DHH program supports our students and advocates for their learning." DHH Teacher, Florida
I LOVE the book, it is so helpful to me as a DHH Itinerant! Best, most concise and thorough collection of materials ever. A must for every Itinerant! DHH Teacher, California
(Tax exempt MN school orders use coupon code MINNESOTASCHOOL to waive tax when ordering online).
DOCUMENTING SKILLS FOR SUCCESS: Data-Gathering Resources is a digital supplement to Building Skills for Success in the Fast-Paced Classroom and provides 60 assessment checklists in electronic versions for easy sharing with classroom teachers.

Comments on Building Skills for Success in the Fast-Paced Classroom
"I already have my own copy of Building Skills for Success, but I purchased this one for my student teacher. This is one of the best resources to give our new teachers in the field". Itinerant DHH Teacher, MN
"We absolutely love your book. Out of all our resources, yours has quickly gone to the top of "must haves". You should be getting some orders from a few of our school districts as I shared the resource with our schools that have large numbers of children with hearing loss." State Director of DHH Services'I've started your book and it is wonderful! I love that it is so current and focuses on the word "access". I love that the rating scales and so much other info is very recently dated. I love that you address the "new" H.I. student. Is this book being marketed to Audiology and deaf education training programs? It needs to be – especially deaf education programs!' Teacher of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing I've been in the field of Deaf Education since 1983, and have NEVER come across such a practical and comprehensive resource. I was able to pick it up and use 2 things from it on the very first day I opened it. Deaf Educator "Being an itinerant Educational Audiologist I don't do any of the ongoing IEP therapies, but I do support very active and knowledgeable DHH teachers who do. The downloadable common core standards pages, with scoring attached is going to be very helpful. I speak to directors, principals, etc. about how kids with hearing loss differ from their regular hearing peers as we often have one DHH kid per 25 mile radius, and so incidence is very low in my neck of the woods. Your book will help us put our kids' needs into words the administrators can understand and value. Thanks again." "I am the envy of the other Educational Audiologists and the DHH teachers in my district! I am doling out pearls of wisdom from the book daily! I particularly like the SCRIPT program for communication repair. I work with one DHH teacher that has never felt comfortable adding self-advocacy goals into her IEPs, which has caused her to not qualify many mild or unilateral kids for services. Her comfort zone is in set curriculum and published benchmarks for performance. I showed her your Student Expectations for Advocacy and Monitoring (SEAM), and that helped her. I am going to show her the SCRIPT program next week. Matching the objectives to the Common Core Standards is very helpful." Educational Audiologist My agency purchased a copy of this book for each of our hearing staff members after we heard Karen & Kathleen speak at a professional development opportunity held here every Fall. We received our books and used it as a book study for our staff. We all thought it was a remarkable book. Unfortunately, here in Creston where my office is located we had a tornado hit and destroy our office on April 14th. It did quite a bit of damage to the area of town where our office was located. When staff was allowed to retrieve items from the wreckage, the first thing I asked for was this book. Unfortunately, it was gone. This was one of the first items I am replacing as I think it is an important tool for anyone working with students with hearing loss. Deaf Educator, Iowa

Jack Thompson is the well-known attorney whom Board 8 mostly hates. He is known for attacking games (mostly the Grand Theft Auto series) for having sexuality or violence in them. Because of this, most gamers hate him.
He was a fad during the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas controversy over the Hot Coffee mod. After getting it an AO rating (thus it being pulled from many stores) and starting to go after The Sims 2, Board 8 started sending many e-mails (and making topics about them), both serious and silly (such as Mario promoting violence towards turtles). The fad died down, but users do still post topics mocking him, or posting news about him.
- "Video games don't kill people. Insane people kill people. Depression causes insanity. Loneliness causes depression. Video games distract people from loneliness. Jack Thompson hates video games. Thus, Jack Thompson promotes murder. So Jack, SHUT UP!" - SuperSmash Master

An explosive new 9/11 charge by ex-national security aide Richard Clarke
In a new documentary, ex-national security aide Richard Clarke suggests the CIA tried to recruit 9/11 hijackers—then covered it up. Philip Shenon on George Tenet's denial.
With the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks only a month away, former CIA Director George Tenet and two former top aides are fighting back hard against allegations that they engaged in a massive cover-up in 2000 and 2001 to hide intelligence from the White House and the FBI that might have prevented the attacks.
The source of the explosive, unproved allegations is a man who once considered Tenet a close friend: former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, who makes the charges against Tenet and the CIA in an interview for a radio documentary timed to the 10th anniversary next month…
"To this day, it is inexplicable why, when I had every other detail about everything related to terrorism, that the director didn't tell me, that the director of the counterterrorism center didn't tell me," Clarke said in the interview for the documentary, referring to Tenet and Cofer Black. "They told us everything – except this."
He said that if he had known anything about Hazmi and Mihdhar even days before 9/11, he would have ordered an immediate manhunt to find them – and that it would have succeeded, possibly disrupting the 9/11 plot.
"We would have conducted a massive sweep," he said. "We would have conducted it publicly. We would have found those assholes. There's no doubt in my mind, even with only a week left. They were using credit cards in their own names. They were staying in the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square, for heaven's sake." He said that "those guys would have been arrested within 24 hours."

Unlike in English the word order in bahasa Indonesia is 'the primary word is placed in the front, followed by the defining word', whilst in English the defining words precede the primary word. For example:
Blue book buku biru
The word "book" is called the 'noun', and the word "blue" is the 'adjective'. In English the adjective comes before the noun. But in Indonesian the noun may come first and the adjective follows.
Kopi manis Sweet Coffee
Kopi pahit Black Coffee
Kopi susu Coffee with milk
Ayam goreng Fried chicken
Nasi goreng Fried rice
Air putih (white) Water
Daging Kambing Lamb meat
Roti bakar Toast
Telur rebus Boiled egg
Bir Bintang Bintang beer
Tas ini This bag
Meja itu That table
This also applies in noun phrases that express possession:
nama Anda your name
toko Anda your shop
gedung saya my building
kantor saya my office
sekolah John John's school
rumah Bu Nur Mrs Nur's house
Note: *Anda gedung, literally "you are a building"!
Saya akan pergi ke pasar dengan ibu saya.
I am going to the market with my mother.
Saya mau makan di restoran Anda.
I want to eat in your restaurant.
Saya suka minum kopi pahit di rumah bu Nur.
I like to drink black coffee at Mrs. Nur's house.
When you want to say the name of a place – the name (the modifier adjunct) comes after the place (the headword).
For example you say kota New York (New York city), Bank Mandiri (Mandiri Bank), Toko Fajar (Fajar store), sekolah Santo Paulus (St. Pauls's school), gedung Lippo (the Lippo Building), Jalan Lumumba (Lumumba Street), Mesjid Al-Akbar (Al-Akbar Mosque) and so on.
Study these sentences and observe how word order works in noun phrases and place names.
Saya mau makan di Rumah Makan Padang.
I am going to eat at Padang Restaurant.
Santi akan pergi ke Mesjid An-Nur.
Santi is going to go to An-Nur Mosque.
Apakah Anda bisa pergi ke gedung administrasi?
Can you go to the administration building?
Apa kamu suka tinggal di Jalan Kesambi?
Do you like living in Kesambi Street?
Pak Purba di toko buku sekarang.
Mr Purba is at the book shop right now.

I was trying to use the hd-media installer to install 12.04 (i386) from the alternate .iso CD image. From the install log, it found the .iso file from my first partition. However it failed to mount it, the error is "loop" kernel module is not available. I looked at the /lib/modules/.../kernel/fs directory and loop.ko is not there.
Is this a known problem? Thanks.

Not really, no.00|00|0
Not really, no.
Have an opinion?
No, only paneled leather leggings. Mine's got leather only on the kneecaps and as a stripe down by the sides. Full leather leggings would be too much for me.
i love leggins. never tried leather, i dont think that would be comfy. or cute...
Sounds like it would be very sweaty and hot! Leather leggings look unattractive and ugly to me. I'd never wear them... EVER! But some girls make it look okay.
Yeah I have a pair and I think they're cute
No. It's ugly in my opinion.
no, they never fit :(
