I woke late this morning and was in my usual mad rush to get to class on time, I was halfway across campus before I realized that I'd left my cell phone in my dorm room. What the heck, I'm a grown man, I should be able to go 4 hours without my phone. I have only three classes today, one two-hour lab class and two one-hour lectures. After the last class, I headed for the Student Union to get something to eat, I ran into a couple of buddies and we talked about anything and everything for an hour or so then I went back to my dorm room; I have a paper that is due in two days that needs a bit of polishing up yet.. I'm David Di Basi, a 22-year-old Junior at the U. of Tenn.-Chattanooga.
When I walked into my room the phone wasn't on the nightstand where I always kept it. A quick look around and I found it on the floor. When I flipped it open I saw that I had 5 missed calls, all from my parents. I knew something was very wrong, my parents would not have called me that many times in just over 5 hours. I called my Mom's cell and when she answered I could hear the fear in her voice.
My Dad had a stroke this morning a bit after 9 am, Mom had one of the nurses to take the phone and tell me the particulars. He suffered a stroke or a cardiovascular incident. It is the loss of brain function due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. In my dad's case it was there was partial paralysis down his left side as well, hopefully temporary but only time will tell that. The nurse gave the phone back to Mom and I told her I'd be home early tonight and I'd come straight to the hospital. She did sound a little relieved, knowing that I'd be on my way there soon.
When I got to the hospital, Dad's doctor was just leaving his room. He took me a little ways down the hall, out of hearing range for my Mom or Dad and told me that the paralysis was severe and even with rehabilitation he might never completely recover. My Dad couldn't walk and might not ever again, he's struggling just to speak at all now but therapy should help that. My dad's job had been eliminated at the local bank when it was bought out by a Mega Bank in Charlotte. Dad hadn't worked in almost 5 months, the stress nearly killed him.
I knew that their savings accounts were getting very low, there was enough money in my college fund for me to finish the last year and one semester but I decided that it would be best for me to leave school and come home to help out, and get a job to bring money into the house again. My Dad is nearly six feet tall and in no way small, I knew Mom would never be able to maneuver him from bed to chair. She mentioned that maybe we should look into a nursing home but I balked at that. I knew my Dad would give up in one of those places. He had to be at home if he was to have any chance at getting better and rehabilitated. He might be wheelchair bound for the rest of his days but rehab could give him mobility and the ability to do some things for himself.
With Italians like us, family always comes first, I packed up everything and officially withdrew from school and drove back home to Benton, Ga, a little wide spot in the road in the hills of North Georgia. The place I was so eager and happy to get away from when I went off to college. Now, I'm back again in the place I was so desperate to leave just a couple of years ago. My Mom was so shattered by Dad's stroke and temporarily, she was almost as helpless as he is. I took over the cooking and cleaning when I first came home. But the three of us knew I needed to get a job.
Both Dad and my Mom were insistent that we would not touch the money in my college fund, saying that using that for anything but my education would be admitting defeat. They're determined that their son will have a college degree, I might be delayed a bit, but their son would be a college graduate.
At the end of my first week, Mom was coming around, getting over the initial shock and getting back into her routine. I was out everyday looking for work. Midway into my second week home, I applied for work at the vacuum cleaner factory on the outskirts of town.
The job was assembly line work, installing motors and connecting the wires then testing my work by turning the machine on. If it worked, I moved on to the next unit. It's mind numbing work, but good pay for our small town. Ten days after submitting my application, they called me for a second interview and offered the job starting at $13.00 per hour which is big money for our little town.
Every Friday I came home and handed Mom my check. I'm amazed at how well she can manage the money, even saving some each week and she always made sure I had at least $30.00 a week to spend as I wanted. Taking a cue from Mom, I saved most of what she gave me.
Sometime during the beginning of my second week there I started walking down to The Blue Moon after supper, Mom cooked and I cleaned up after we ate. I could have taken Pop's car but it was less than a five-minute walk and I didn't want Mom to worry that one of her church friends would see their car at a place where folks go to drink beer.
I would drink a couple of beers, shoot pool and hope someone near my age would come in. I've known I was gay since Junior High School, but I never let anyone know in my hometown. My first experience was at college during my second month there. I was studying at the Library and felt nature's call and went downstairs to the restroom, I was surprised and happy to learn what went on there under the halls of higher learning. I was totally surprised by how open most of the gay guys were there, even those you would have never guessed by looking at them.
Before I left college I was having sex two, three times a week. There was always someone in the middle stall in the library if times got hard (no pun intended.) Back home, I was already tired of masturbation, and wondering how I could get a trip into the city and back in a day.
Tonight was your average Thursday at the Blue Moon except that it seems there is more action at the pool table than usual. I turned away from the TV blaring out a horrible ESPN show with two guys yelling at each other, both talking at the same time. All I understood from watching is that Sports TV generally sucks! There was a loud yell from the pool table area and I turned around.I decided that I'd rather watch the guys shoot pool.
There was a guy there I hadn't seen before, very tall, blonde curly hair and a good pool player and really cute.l. I watched him run the table through two racks of balls then he came over to the end of the bar for another beer before starting another game. I noticed that he sort of stared at me, I thought there was something familiar about him, but I couldn't come up with anything. We nodded hello, he smiled, took his beer, turned to go back to the pool table, about halfway there he stopped and looked back at me, a bigger smile broke out on his face and he came back to where I sat.
"David? Aren't you David Di Basi?"
"Uh...yes...I am, but you have me at a disadvantage, you look familiar but I can't come up with a name, I've been away for almost three years now."
"I'm Jacob, uh...Jake Asher, we played basketball on the high school team, I was a year behind you.".
"Jake! Yes! I remember now, we called you 'Old Dead-Eye' cause you could hit a basket from anywhere on the court. We both played forward. Hey man, it's good to see you, you're the first familiar face I've seen here anywhere near my age. Dude...I sure thought you'd be playing College ball by now."
"Yeah, I had a scholarship to Eastern Carolina but my Dad died right before my first semester was to start, I had to give it up and help my Mom with the store. Dad ran a little grocery that has a great clientele he and Mom grew over the years, my Mom and I are trying to hang on to them."
"Oh man, I can feel for you, my Dad had a stroke a few weeks back and he's paralyzed on his left side, I came home and got a job to pay the bills, my Mom never learned to drive, so they are really dependent on me."
"Where did you get a job David?"
"I got hired by the Vacuum Cleaner factory on Blairsville Highway, good pay t for this town but the job is mind numbing. I install the motors and turn them on the be sure they work and that's it."
"Listen David, I've gotta get back to the pool game, when it's over I'll come by and well catch up with each other if that's okay with you."
"Sure thing Jake, I'll be here, no place else to go." I laughed.
Jake went back to his game and I watched as he ran off ten balls before he scratched. The guy he was playing wasn't as good as Jake but took his time and was doing well. I was thinking back to our High School days and what a great Player Jake was when suddenly, I remembered Jake's other nickname. In the locker room, all the guys called him 'Jake the Snake.' Jake is tall, 6'5" or better, he got the nickname in the showers because his cock hung halfway down his very long upper thigh.
More flashbacks ran through my mind as I remembered seeing 'The Snake' swell up bit as he washed in the shower. I also remember jacking off a lot, thinking of all the things we could do with his 'snake.' I shook my head, trying to push those thoughts our of my dirty little mind. I was hard again just thinking about 'Jake the Snake' again.
A bit later I had to go the restroom and pass on the beer I'd rented for the night. Coming out I met up with Jake going in.
"There you are David, I didn't see you and thought you'd got tired of waiting and left. I'll be out in a sec...and we can catch up on the past couple of years, okay?"
"Sure Jake, meet me at the bar; I'll get us a couple of beers."
We took our beers over to a booth along the wall with the Jukebox and stretched out with our legs over the seats and out backs to the wall. We both talked about the misfortunes in our families and how dead and lonely this town is for younger guys like us. We have to drive 20 miles one way, to see a two-year old movie. We talked about school, some of the guys and girls we went to school with, and how we both wanted to get back to college. Soon we noticed that it was eleven pm and we both had to get to work in the morning. We left the Blue Moon and started walking home. At the corner to my street we stopped and chatted a bit more and Jake left to go a couple more blocks to his street.
Back in my room I undressed and slipped into my bed naked, naturally my hand went to my cock and I was hard in seconds thinking about 'The Snake', again. I didn't ever bother with lube tonight, just a few tissues close by and I closed my eyes and remembered Jake's tall, muscular body, wet and slippery in the showers at school. I remembered one day when he turned from facing the wall to wash his hair. Standing there under the water, his eyes closed while he lathered up his scalp, I watched the 'Snake' thicken and grow to almost halfway hard. I remembered seeing the head of his cock creeping out of the uncut foreskin.
BAM! That image of his cock head creeping out of the foreskin did the trick, my body tensed and I barely got the tissues in time to catch my load, I got a huge nut right then. For the first time since I left college, I tasted my cum. Damn! What great luck running into Jake the Snake again. At least he's a new fantasy for beating off.
At work I stopped by the pay office at 4:30, picked up my paycheck and clocked out, glad for a weekend off. Mom was at the kitchen table pouring over her accounts books when I got home and I gave her my paycheck.
"How are we doing Mom? Do we have enough coming in to cover all the expenses? We can always cut back on what you give me, I've saved most of it anyway."
"We're doing well David, thanks to you, I'm putting a bit aside every week and it's adding up slowly but surely. We've managed to get the medical bills paid, the part that his insurance didn't cover. I'm so thankful we managed to pay that Cobra insurance. It took most of what we had saved, but without it your Dad would have died, I'm sure of that. We both thank you for the sacrifice you've made. We love you David, you're a good son. Once his Social Security disability starts, you can go back to college. That's the most important thing David. You getting your degree. You'll see, the day you get that diploma your Dad and I will be right there with you."
I bent down and kissed her cheek. "You're an angel Mom. I love you and Dad too. This little set back won't keep the Di Basi's down for long."
I went along to my room, changed into shorts and a tee-shirt and went to the kitchen to see what we would need from the store to do a proper Italian spaghetti dinner. I learned to cook back in the eighth grade and it's one of the things that I do take the most pride in. There's just something so special about making a hearty, delicious meal and sitting down with family and friends and enjoying the people as well as the food.
I made a short list of ground beef and sausage, for meatballs, Mom always had some of her specially made Marinara sauce in the fridge. I took my old bike from the garage and decided I'd ride over to Jake's store to get the items I needed for our dinner.
Jake broke into a great smile when I walked in and asked me what I needed, I handed over the list and he started picking the items from the shelves, he worked his way to the meat cooler last. He wrapped up the beef and sausage and met me back at the register. He offered a cup of coffee and I readily accepted. We sat in the area around the heating stove where a few regular customers spent most of the bitter winter days sitting by the fire and talking about any and everything imaginable.
We chatted about our luck in running into each other last night. Jake mentioned that one of their customers had asked him to come down sometime for some pool and a beer. He'd forgotten about it until yesterday afternoon and last night was his first night at The Blue Moon.
I told him that I'm there most week nights just to give my folks some alone time and for them like they were before I came home.
"So David, wanna play a game or two of pool tonight?"
"Sure thing Jake. You're on"
Jake looked up to the clock and saw it was closing time for him, I left with the understanding that we'd meet up again tonight at the 'Moon.' I hurried back to the house and made up the meatballs and finished the prep work for a Caesar Salad, making fresh croutons and hand tearing the Romaine lettuce, leaving the dressing for last. I took six oil packed anchovy fillets, a clove or garlic and a block of Parmesan cheese, added the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice and whisked it all together with olive oil and vegetable oil.
By the time I had the salad and dressing done, the pasta was done and the sauce had been simmering for half an hour. Mom wheeled Dad into the kitchen and although he still has trouble with his speech, his eyes are more expressive than ever. He was very happy to have a real Italian meal.
Dad managed to eat with one hand fairly well, twirling up a fork full of pasta and sauce. When he put the first bite into his mouth I watched him close his eyes and savor the taste. When he took a bite of the Caesar Salad he gave a moan of appreciation after his first taste. He looked over to me and gave me that odd smile he has now, the right side is like it always was, but the left is nearly motionless. I had forgotten the wine so I grabbed it from the fridge and poured us all a glass, when I sat Dad's by his right hand I leaned down and kissed his forehead.
"I love you Dad." I whispered.
He looked up and I saw tears welling in his eyes.
I pushed the Salad bowl over and gave him more salad and patted his hand. I saw a tear roll down my Mom's cheek as she watched him. We finished our meal and I cleaned everything up and went to get ready to meet up with Jake at the 'Blue Moon' tonight. After a quick shower I put on my favorite CK low rider jeans which were now skin tight after 4 months eating mostly Italian dishes. An Orange U.T. Vols tee shirt and canvas shoes finished it out. I told the folks goodnight and that I had met up with a high school friend and we were going to meet up at the 'Blue Moon.'
Over the past couple of months Kenny the bartender, and I had struck up a playful friendship or sorts, teasing each other at every opportunity. Kenny is a few years older than me but not much, he's under thirty or at least he looks to be. He's one of those guys that everyone seems to like immediately. When I walked in in those tight CK jeans Kenny gave out a wolf whistle and I blushed a bit.
As I climbed onto the bar stool, Kenny sat my beer on the bar.
"Dude! Who knew you had such a built body?" Kenny joked.
"Oh Jeez Kenny, are you getting turned on by these tight jeans?"
To my surprise Ken just raised an eyebrow then winked at me. I was expecting some sort of put down, or smart ass remark as usual. He really threw me a curve ball with his reaction. A few minutes later Jake came in and sat beside me, we laughed and talked for a good while sitting at the bar. I noticed that Kenny kept looking over at us every few minutes and it was more than just checking the level of beer in our bottles too.
Jake put his coins on the pool table and waited for his turn, I put mine behind his and went back to the bar stool while Jake watched the guys playing. Kenny came over and leaned down close and asked...
"Is that your new boyfriend Dave. I saw you guys leave together last night now here you are again."
He raised his eyebrow again and wiggled it this time. I laughed and almost choked on my beer.
"Now Kenny, don't get jealous, Jake over there and I played basketball together in High School. He got a scholarship to play college ball, but his Dad died and he had to stay home and help his Mom. Besides Kenny, you know I'd never let anyone but you suck my cock."
It was Kenny's time to choke...he sputtered and stammered and walked away to serve someone else. I noticed he was still red faced while he was serving the guy at the other end of the bar. I went over to the jukebox and punched in a couple of songs then went back to the bar. The next time Kenny was down near me he came over and leaned in again.
"It's that butt of yours that gets me so excited David."
When he turned to walk away I saw the hard lump in his jeans. I was really surprised, I thought all his talk was just that, talk. I never dreamed he could be gay or Bi. I noticed that after his comment, he would smile at me every time our eyes met. I went over to the pool table where Jake was into his game and beat the last winner easily. I got lucky when my time came to play, Jake scratched on the break and I ran in 6 balls before he had a chance to shoot. He soon whipped me convincingly. I went back to the bar, ordered another beer and went to the restroom. Just as I was buttoning up my fly, Kenny came in to piss. He stood back from the urinal to show off his cock for me. I laughed and told him to put that thing back in his pants where it belonged.
"Ken...let's cool it on the gay talk, alright, folks will get the wrong idea, and by the way, if you don't know it, my butt is off limits. There's no where else in this town to go and drink a beer so I'd appreciate your letting up on the joking around. Okay?"
"Dave, I'm just fooling around, jerking your chain. I'm sorry if I've offended you, I was just playing around like I do with all the guys."
Jake played three more games before he was beaten then he came back to sit with me at the bar. Eventually we got around to talking about the lack of sexual opportunities and if by some miracle we found a willing partner, the news would be all over the town before we finished the act. Everyone knows everything in a town as small as ours.
"I hear ya David, if it wasn't for the internet, I'd have no sex life at all."
"Lucky dog! We don't have cable TV or the internet at home. See this hand? That's my sex life right there." I said.
"Aw man, that's brutal Dave...say, you're welcome to come over to my place and watch internet porn whenever you like. My Mom hit's the sack about 8 pm, she's been asleep now for a couple of hours. Wanna go to my place and get off?"
"What...you mean jerk off together like teenagers?"
"Whatever works for you, it doesn't bother me a bit, it's kinda neat watching a hot guy jacking off. You wanna go to over to my house."
"Sure, it beats the hell out of sitting here talking about it. Let's go."
I was trying my best not to show the excitement that was building in me. He likes to watch guys jack off! At the very least I'll get a close up look at the fabled "Snake", with any luck at all I might get to stroke it a few times.
There was precious little room in my jeans for a hard-on, but I struggled along, finally getting everything adjusted and comfortable just as we turned onto Jake's street. We had walked the ten blocks or so to his house and went in through the kitchen door. He stopped at the fridge and got a couple of beers and led the way to his room. He said his Mom's room was on the other side of the house and we wouldn't wake her.
He went to his laptop and punched in a few keys and a porno movie with two guys and a girl came on the screen. Right away I noticed that the guy who was fucking the blonde girl was sucking his buddy's cock while he fucked her. I was bone hard in seconds.
"Pretty hot, huh?"
"Damn! Yeah...that's hot alright." I stammered.
I saw that Jake was unbuttoning his Levis and he looked over to me and said.
"Get comfortable David. You mind me getting naked? I need the room when I watch this."
I gave out a sort of nervous laugh.
"Uh...from what I remember of you in the locker rooms at school, you'll need a lot of room once that thing starts growing!"
"C'mon Dave, drop trou and let me see what you have there."
I undid the buttons on my jeans and pushed them off my hips then let them fall to the floor, I looked over at Jake just in time to see 'The Snake' spring free from the confinement of his undershorts. Long, hard and fat, the 'Snake' exceeded all my fantasy expectations I had conjured over the years. That's one big cock. I was entranced, I couldn't take my eyes away from it. When I stepped backwards toward the bed while my eyes were still glued to Jake's big cock, I didn't remember to step out of my Jeans and nearly fell, Jake was on his feet and caught me before I hit the floor.
Everywhere our naked bodies touched was like fire against my skin, when I felt his hard cock against my thigh and I thought I was going to ejaculate right then. I backed up to the bed, never taking my eyes off of Jake's cock. When I sat on the bed my hand automatically went to my cock and I stroked it slowly.
Jake seemed to be as interested in my cock as I was his. When he saw the clear pearl of pre cum slide down my corona he moaned aloud.
"Oh fuck...what a beauty...please don't freak out David...but I have to do this. I just gotta have it!"
Jake leaned over and licked the new clear pearl of pre cum, he moaned as I gasped in surprise. Jake got on his knees in front of me on the bed. He took my cock and pulled it down to the level of his mouth and lips, he ran his lips and tongue over every inch of it, making love to my cock then finally sucking both testicles into his mouth. Looking up into my eyes he reared back and pulled hard on my ball sac. I was completely in his power, he could do whatever he wished, he took all of my throbbing cock into his mouth and throat, bobbing and sucking until his nose was pressed against my trimmed bush.
Something in me clicked at that moment, I'm still not sure exactly what happened, but right then, I felt an exquisite rush of emotion and feelings for Jacob. I fell back onto the bed and pulled Jake up with me. We lay facing each other and we kissed tenderly and deeply, again I was surprised by the feelings and emotion Jake was evoking in me.
In all the sexual encounters I've experienced I never once felt any sort of emotional bond or tie with my partner of the moment, it had always been about me getting my rock off, not so with Jacob Asher, he moved me nearly to tears with his sweet, gentle kisses and his loving caresses. So different than all the other times that had been just rough, raw, lust. Most times with strangers or a passing acquaintance.
Jake Asher was making love to me, and the difference between sex and what we are doing is like night and day. The feelings that coursed through me as we kissed, our bodies pressed together, touching from our lips to our toes was the most sensuous feeling of my life. I never wanted this to end.
Our erections throbbed between us, each pulled up pointing to our chests, with our crotches pressed against each other, the 'snake' extended a bit above my navel. I moved my hand between us, my fingers wouldn't meet as I grasped his big cock. I managed to scoot back more onto the bed and asked him to turn so that we were in a 69 position. On my first try I got about a third of him in my mouth, after gagging a couple of times I managed to relax enough that all of him finally went down my throat.
Quickly, I started swallowing motions that milked his cock and made him grab up fistfuls of the bedding as he gasped and bucked deeper into me.
I felt his hand on my head, never really pushing me down onto his cock, but just a connection between us that let me know he really liked what I was doing. Jake pulled off my cock and cried out...
"I'm cumming David...jeezus, no one's ever done that...suck it all down then milk it...OH FUCK...here it comes OH, DAVID! OHMIGOD!
I pulled back enough that I could taste his semen, his has a sweet taste and there sure was a lot of it. I swallowed all I could manage and while he was recuperating, I licked up the bits that were missed. I knew my throat would be sore for a couple of days but I got all of him, I conquered 'the snake.' It lay across his thigh now, a spent and very limp serpent.
When our breathing calmed a bit, Jake turned and we lay facing each other. He smiled and leaned in to give me a most tender, kiss. Our tongues gently touching and caressing, him making little nibbles on my lower lip.
"Thanks David, that was wonderful. I've never had anyone take all of me like that before, you're totally amazing. You've already spoiled me for anyone else."
"Well once it's ready to go again I do want to try getting it up my butt. I want your cock in me Jake. I've dreamed about your big cock since we were in the showers at school after practice. It's big and it's pretty Jake, I want every bit of it inside me."
We both dozed off, with Jake spooning up against my back and his lips kissing my neck and nuzzling against my ear. I woke and glanced over at the bedside clock and freaked when I saw that it was almost 6 am. My folks would be up in just a few minutes, I explained to Jake as I dressed and he went with me to the door, I was almost down the kitchen steps when I turned and rushed to him to give him a quick kiss.
"I'll come by your store after work, we gotta do this again Jake. I don't want this to be just a one time thing, I still want you inside me."
He hugged me and I ran off toward my house. I hated this part, all I really wanted to do was go back to bed with him and cuddle up, tears brimmed in my eyes just thinking about him.
The End

Angels or Kings - 2016 - Go Ask The Moon
- No More Faith To Loose
- Ancient Flies
- No Alibi
- The Night´s Don´t Count
- When The Heart Is Wrong
- You Better Pray
- Breathe
- Waiting For The Thunder
- On The Corner Of Love And Lost
- Heartbreak Railroad Company
- Go Ask The Moon
Angels or Kings are a British AOR band that plays 80´s influenced
FM-rock with that time typical big sound. "Go Ask The Moon" is
the follow up to their 2014 album "King of Nowhere".
And just like last time we get high quality music from the band.
The music feel very emotional with a lot of passion and love.
And I guess that it is their own musical love that shines thou.
Everything is really carefully and neatly done. The songs are
examples of great songwriting and the performance of the
musicians are flawless. So is even the production and
arrangements. This is an almost perfect album. It has almost
everything you can ask for. The only thing that I can think of that
it is lacking is problaby the obvious hit song. Every song is
extremely well written and preformed, so it´s not that there ain´t
great songs on the album that can become hits. It´s just that I miss
that one song that really sticks out and sticks like glue in you mind
right from the start.
And if you compare "Go Ask The Moon" to "King Of Nowhere",
which also is a great album, the band has really taken several steps
forward and grown as a group.
I found myself in a really tight spot when I was thinking of which
two songs to put on our Spotify play list from this album, so I feel
that I won´t give out any favorite tracks this time, you just have to
listen and find your own. Which I really strongly recommend you
to do.

We present an experimental investigation of the energy statistics of the linear polarization components of pulses from a Nd:YAG laser that is repetitively Q-switched with an acousto-optic modulator. Varying the modulator-induced diffraction losses leads to changes in the pulse polarization state and the energy statistics of the polarization components. For conventional Q-switching there is no laser oscillation during the low-Q intervals, and we find that the orthogonal components of the pulses can display large relative energy fluctuations even though the total pulse energy is quite stable. In the prelase mode, a weak continuous-wave background seeds the Q-switched pulses and results in the emission of highly linearly polarized, single-longitudinal-mode pulses with small relative energy fluctuations.

Sept. 1, 2010
Hard work, persistence and passion paid off for Luther senior Michael Hart of Clive, Iowa, during a summer internship with the Neighborhood Finance Corp. (NFC) in Des Moines this summer.
Hart was able to apply his economics education and skills to benefit a targeted Des Moines neighborhood and improve his financial data research abilities through a program with NFC.
Since its founding in 1990, NFC has originated more than $200 million in loans and grants and assisted more than 3,600 homeowners. NFC offers home buyer education free of charge. NFC also offers a tool lending library to eligible individual homeowners and not-for-profit groups with home repair and maintenance needs.
Hart, a double major in economics and Spanish at Luther, applied for an internship with NFC to gain experience in a financial organization and to better understand the kinds of jobs in which he might be interested.
Without the benefit of a step-by-step handbook to follow, Hart began his internship knowing the goals of the organization and the information NFC sought. His main project was a 30-page report that outlines NFC's loan portfolio. His research covered 20 years of loan analysis and 10 years of borrower demographics.
The results were beyond what NFC expected of the summer internship position.
"Michael was our first intern, and we needed someone who had the time and expertise to do research," said Holly Olson, NFC executive director. "Not only did he provide the necessary research and data, but he took it to the next step and offered conclusions from his compiled data. This information will prove useful with every aspect of NFC, from marketing to attracting potential investors."
Hart presented his report to fellow staff, the board of directors, half a dozen city planners and business lending leaders at several banks who were all impressed by his presentation and high-caliber work.
"I do presentations in class, but this was my first time presenting to business leaders in a community," said Hart. "You learn what to include, what not to, and how best to present the information."
In addition to the chance to display his skills, Hart now has a better idea of what job he will pursue after college as he hopes to find a position that is financially focused and challenges him.
"Michael is going to find success in his career," said Olson. "He's dependable and intelligent. We would not hesitate to hire him again."
When asked what the secret is to a successful internship, Hart responded, "Find a place where what you're doing is meaningful. Then they care about what you are doing."

I enjoyed reading about the NoW crossword messages to the odious Wade (Shortcuts, G2, 11 July). Surely the finest recent example of a hidden message is to be found in the 2006 judgment of Mr Justice Peter Smith; having had to sit through tedious days of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code nonsense, the learned judge buried a homage to a hobby of his in the text using random italicisation and the Fibonacci coding sequence central to the plot of the Brown work. Legend has it that the then Lord chancellor's message to Smith was somewhat less coded.

• I was delighted to see your leader in praise of Judge Jonathan Finesteen (Editorial, 11 July). Some years ago he gave his approval for my campaign to remove the bust of Lord Chancellor Francis Bacon from the imposing waiting area of Southport magistrates' court. Bacon was removed from office after pleading guilty to 23 counts of corruption (mainly taking bribes) and Judge Finestein agreed with me that he was not a good example for the citizens of Southport. Sadly, the campaign did not succeed and he is still there and the court is soon to close. Perhaps they should give the bust to the judge.

AS the second beach hut waiting list opens in Poole, concern has been raised about the cost to residents.
As those on the Sandbanks list, which opened last week, face an average wait of 24 years to be able to hire a hut, Cllr Phil Eades has questioned the £25 charge to be put on a list.
"It is quite outrageous that the beach has been split into six very small areas and that the council is charging £25 to join each list," he said.
"I wonder why the council's previous policy of charging a one-off fee of £25 to join the waiting list was changed.
"We now have a situation whereby if a resident does not really mind where a beach hut is situated it will cost him £150 to inform the council of this.
"Could we not allow residents to pay £25 to join as many lists as they want?"
Kevin McErlane, head of culture and community learning, Borough of Poole said: "The fee encourages residents to be selective in their choice of preferred location, as in the past we have experienced issues with people requesting a beach hut and then refusing a hut offered to them as they did not like the location.
"This process encourages people to be selective in choosing locations and this in turn will enable huts to be reissued quickly when they become available.
"The £25 administration fee to join the waiting list has not increased in more than 10 years and this level of charge is broadly comparable to other areas."
He said: "We could not have anticipated the unprecedented level of demand for the first beach hut waiting list at Sandbanks. In light of this demand, we have offered anyone who subscribed in the first few days a full refund if they feel they are dissatisfied with their position on the waiting list."
However one resident said: "£25 per list wasn't much to ask in comparison to paying £1,600 for rental."

Largest Solar System in America!
There are hundreds of scale solar systems all over the world, and 30 in the USA. Most are designed to be hiked via nature trails, or perhaps bicycled, if they're on paved roads. The largest is in Aroostook County of northern Maine. At nearly 100-miles long, snaking through half a dozen towns, I figured a car would be handy.
The entire solar system is to-scale, both in distance and in the size of the celestial objects! Well, except for the Sun, but they tried. Inside Folsom Hall at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, a partial arc meant to represent our Yellow Star spans two floors!
A young student captured me here in between classes, and I was so excited to begin my 'star trek' through the Maine solar system. When I first documented all the worldwide scale solar systems, I never thought I'd be able to see this one so soon.
The rocky terrestrial planets are fairly close, of course. One can walk easily to tiny Mercury by the roadside. Within view of this planet, Venus boasts a beautiful paint job! Each planet is placed on giant poles so that they are visible from the road.
The local visitor centers, and some of the local Inns, have guides for the planetary route. It seems fairly straightforward just to follow Route 1 South, but many of the orbs can be hard to spot while also concentrating on driving. It's probably easier to scout and to take pictures if space geeks do this in pairs.
The small roadside plazas with Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn also each include various moons of the those planets. Jupiter, another fantastic paint job, sports the most, with the depictions of the four Galilean Moons: Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto. Like the planets, they are all 3-D orbs created to-scale, in the scale distance to their planet.
The scale of the entire route is 1 mile : 1 Astronomical Unit (AU). The AU is based on the distance from Earth to the Sun, or 93,000,000 miles. Using this scale, Earth of course is precisely one mile out. I tracked each of the rest and created a precise, printable guide (MSWord) if you are unable to find one of the local pamphlets. The Visitor Center volunteer told me they run out of them all the time because this feature of their landscape is so popular!
I had a great experience at Planet Uranus, which is right in front of the Bridgewater Town Hall. Talk about small town hospitality! Two ladies came running out when they saw me trying to take a "selfie" (no easy feat, given the angles!) when I had no place to set the camera on a flat surface and set the timer. They wanted to know where I was visiting from, and marveled at the distance I had flown to see their solar system, confirming they had not yet seen anyone from San Francisco!
Out past the Gas Giants and the Ice Giants, the route boasts TWO distinct versions of Pluto -- one as a Dwarf Planet as of it's present position (as of 2006), and the older "planet" Pluto before it's designation changed. Beside the original Pluto inside the Houlton Visitor Center is its largest moon, Charon. That's at the 40 mile mark. You have to go another 50+ miles to reach the terminus, at Dwarf Planet Eris, in Topsfield, Maine!
Click on any of the photographs above to go to the Pillownaut Picasa Gallery, where all the Maine planets are shown, as well as photo collections of the last two solar system walks I completed in Belgium (2012) and California (2011).
Click here to print out a Maine Solar System Guide for the drive, and get thee to Maine! If you're a space geek? Totally worth it!

London: The Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman says she is trying not to be an "intensely emotional" parent to her kids because she thinks it is not good for them.
The 49-year-old star, who adopted Isabella, 23, and Connor, 21, with her ex husband Tom Cruise, and has Sunday, eight, and Faith, five, with husband Keith Urban, said she is having a hard time balancing her emtoions for her four kids, reported FemaleFirst.
"It's not necessarily great for a child to have an intensely emotional mother. And I don't want to be a helicopter parent so I'm trying to balance the intensity of the love. It's really hard," she said.
Kidman and Urban, 48, who celebrated ten years of their marriage in June, said they are happy that they reached the milestone and their relationship is even stronger than ever.
"That's really big for us. It was really up and down for the first three months. We've been through a lot for ten years.
"And we're stronger than ever. I say that while touching wood, and no way in a boastful way. I just say it with wonder. Absolute wonder…," she added.

Lakhdar Brahimi, who was named Friday to replace former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan as peace envoy to Syria, said getting the Security Council to speak "with a unified voice" is critical to his mission's success, but that he has no concrete ideas on how to achieve that. The former Algerian foreign minister and longtime U.N. diplomat spoke during an interview with The Associated Press at his home in Paris on Sunday.
Russia and China have used their veto power at the Security Council to block strong Western- and Arab-backed action against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.
Brahimi, who served as a U.N. envoy in Afghanistan and Iraq and helped negotiate the end of Lebanon's civil war as an Arab League envoy, said Annan's mission failed "because the international community was not as supportive as he needed them to be."

Rack Ends Market: Overview
Rack ends also called as inner tie rods or axial joints is a part of rack and pinion steering gear system, which converts circular motion of the steering wheel to straight line motion at the wheels The rack ends are the connections between steering rack and the outer tie rod ends which is connected to the steering knuckles joined to the wheels. The one end of the rack end which is connected to the steering rack is inside the steering track and the end is threaded onto which the outer tie rod is mounted with a locknut. Toe adjustment is done by loosening this locknut and turning the rack end to increase or decrease the length of the rack. They have a flexible rubber cover known as boot or bellows or bellow boots.

Justice William A. Wetzel of State Supreme Court yesterday upheld the elimination of a plan called Twin Piers from the World Trade Center memorial competition on the ground that its creator, Fred A. Bernstein, ''had for all practical purposes two horses in this race,'' in violation of the rules. While the proposal for a pair of piers at Battery Park that would be as long as the trade center was tall, was Mr. Bernstein's, it was entered by his domestic partner, Charles Upchurch. Mr. Bernstein submitted a separate proposal in his own name. The Twin Piers entry survived until very late in the judging process but was eliminated after Mr. Bernstein's involvement was discovered by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. Mr. Upchurch then sued for reinstatement. Mr. Bernstein said yesterday, ''It would have been good for everyone -- including the jury -- to be able to consider the Twin Piers on their artistic merit, but the L.M.D.C. had other ideas.''

Once Tim and Victor were both vampires, who liked to suck blood and cum, they decided to open a trendy gay nightclub downtown. With their amazing hypnotic powers, they were able to convince the owner of an old nightclub downtown that he was ready to retire and sell the property. Tim and Victor met with bankers who surprisingly were quite eager to provide the necessary loans to renovate the downtown property. Once the right interior designers and contractors quickly agreed to get on board, Tim and Victor were soon able to open their new nightclub. Tim and Victor then covered the city with flyers for their new club. The cafeterias of the universities, the health clubs, and other bars and clubs, both gay and straight, were all sent flyers and ads were placed in the local newspapers. The necessary waiters, bartenders, cleanup crew and even bouncers were all hired. The best part was that there were enough qualified job seekers out there to allow Tim and Victor to not only hire an all male, all gay staff, but they were all very good looking.
And the big night finally arrived. When the doors opened at 9pm, Victor and Tim were pleased to find a block long line waiting outside. And because the space of the night club was nearly the size of a city block, there would be plenty of room to accommodate almost everyone who wanted to come inside and join the fun. Tim and Victor made a few welcoming comments to the crowd outside and then they flipped the switch to officially turn on the bright purple neon sign that hung over the front entrance. "Fang's Tool and Rod" was now open for business.
Victor and Tim walked hand and hand into their new club, seeing the smiling faces of their staff ready for their first night, and a crowd of eager customers streamed in behind them. Victor, his dark hair slicked back, wore a pair of black suit pants and a black suit vest, but no shirt. Tim was in white, also in suit pants and vest without a shirt. The last week they had so many hours with hot horny construction workers who were happy to give up their seed to Tim and Victor that the club-owning couple had their fill of their protein, so their faces were now rosy and full.
A couple of hours into opening night, Tim and Victor were standing near the main bar, enjoying the sight of their busy club and noticed a young brown haired guy sitting alone at the bar, nursing a beer.
"Who's the hot kid?" Victor asked, motioning his head at the brown haired guy.
"Oh, that's Adam, he's from the university and he helped us with licensing for the city and county. A nice guy. A bit on the quiet side," offered Tim.
"So how was he?" Victor asked with a smirk.
"No Victor, he helped us because he wanted to. I never made a pass at him," answered Tim.
"Oh really," Victor responded, in a slow hiss, staring now at Adam.
Tim stood off to the side and watched Victor slink over to Adam, knowing full well that Victor loved a challenge, especially trying to seduce a guy without his vampire powers of mind control. Eventually, Tim strolled over and joined the other two guys. Tim could see that Adam was already at ease talking to Victor but clearly keeping his guard up.
"I'm just not into the pickup crowd," Adam was explaining.
"You are so right. Sometimes its sad to see how fake some people can be," Victor said.
Tim threw his hand around Victor's shoulder. "We're just so lucky to have each other, right Victor?" Tim said, slowly prodding Victor into walking away.
Before leaving, Victor leaned over the counter towards Adam. "Would you mind if I send a good friend over? He's also looking for something real. And you don't mind if he's a vampire, do you Adam?" Victor said as he quickly walked away.
Adam was stunned at that last comment and thought it a joke. By the time he had a chance to turn back around, he found someone sitting right next to him. "Hi!" said the dark haired stranger.
Adam looked over at the voice. "Hi! I um, uh, didn't even hear you sit down," Adam said with a bit of a stammer.
"Victor and Tim sent me over. They said you were a nice guy looking for something real," the man with jet black hair said.
Adam grinned. "I'm Adam."
"Paul here," the dark haired man said, holding out his hand to shake.
Adam offered his hand for a shake, noticing the penetrating dark eyes of his new friend. Paul grinned back, showing a mouth of perfect pearly white teeth. Unlike Adam who was dressed casually, in a blue polo shirt and a pair of Dockers and some loafers, Paul was in a leather jacket and what appeared to be a white t shirt underneath. He wore black leather pants and a pair of black boots.
"And the guys said you were a vampire too?" Adam asked with a comical green.
Paul leaned his head in closer. "I am, to be honest," Paul offered.
"And I'm a werewolf!" Adam said mockingly.
"I bet I can make you howl! You're a real cutey," Paul said.
"Well, thanks but no thanks Dracula, but I'm looking for a real relationship, not one night stands with hot studs in leather!" Adam said.
Paul grinned wide and long. "You think I'm a hot stud?"
Adam blushed at that point. "Well, yes but you know what I mean."
Paul looked down. "To be honest, I put on this act and dress this way so I don't have to let down my defenses. I don't like to be someone's conquest. I have a horrible track record and this dress up persona seems to be my shield. I'll be right back. Excuse me," Paul said as he quickly got up from his bar stool and left.
Adam looked shocked. I blew off another one in only five minutes, Adam thought, not happy with his record either. But a few minutes later he felt someone sit down next to him. He looked over to see a blushing and smiling Paul sitting there again.
"Um, uh, what the?" Adam began before Paul cut in. Paul was sitting there in a light purple polo shirt which was nice and snug, perfectly showing off his impressive biceps and pretty decent chest. "Your hair is different," Adam said.
Paul blushed. "I thought Id lose the fake Paul and let you see the real me," Paul explained. "I also washed out the gel in my hair and just comb it normally."
"I like it much better this way," Adam said. "And you rock in that shirt man," Adam said, as he was the one blushing now.
Paul leaned in closer. "Sorry I didn't have spare pants, I still have the leather pants though!" Paul revealed in almost a giggle.
"To be honest, they are a bit hot!" Adam added.
They both laughed and started to talk as two friends should talk, without bullshit or false bravado.
"So you always bring an extra shirt to a club Mr. Vampire," Adam suddenly asked.
"Well, first off wise guy," Paul began, "Tim and Victor have an apartment in the back and I have access so I just grabbed one of Victor's shirts! And NO, before you ask, I have never taken any guys I picked up back there for a quickie!"
Adam blushed at that comment.
"And secondly, I really am a vampire. Tim and I are old friends from college and one night we went to the movies, he was already going with Victor, and he told me their story and asked if I wanted to join the gang, so to speak," Paul further explained
"Many of the guests here tonight, and much of the staff that work here are also vampires. Its nothing like the movies, honest!" Paul said.
The conversation turned to many other things as Paul and Adam really became comfortable with each other, each starting to feel an occasional twinge down in their crotches as they occasionally looked into each others eyes.
At one point, Adam looked over very seriously at Paul. "What is it Adam?" Paul asked.
"I really like you Paul, your so damn cute and really seem to be a nice guy. I just wish you'd get over your vampire obsession ," Adam said.
"I could show you," Paul offered. "I'm not supposed to show off but I'm starting to like you too, a lot actually!" Paul admitted.
"You want to fly me around the room when you sprout your wings?" Adam teased.
Paul was starting to get annoyed not being believed but he knew that most people were doubters, which actually was a good thing for him.
"Let's go into he privacy of Tim and Victor's apartment and I can show you a few things!" Paul suggested.
"Is that where you seduce me and get into my pants?" Adam asked with his own annoyed face.
"If you don't trust me then forget it! Paul snapped. The two sat quietly for a few moments.
"I didn't mean to offend you, but you have to admit it does sound like a come on line Paul!" Adam said.
Paul turned slowly to Adam and started to smile. "I guess it does, but I just wanted to share this with you," Paul added.
"And hey Adam, so what if I really am not a vampire but like you enough, or want you enough," he added with a slow pause, "to really want to make a move on you!"
Adam grinned. "I guess I should be flattered then, huh? That a hottie like you wants to make a pass at me!" Adam concluded.
"Now you're talking," Paul said as he stood up, taking Adam's hand. "Follow me hot stuff!" Paul added with a giggle like a school boy about to do something that would get him in trouble.
From the other side of the club, Tim and Victor stood looking over their domain.
"Our matchmaking efforts seem to be paying off!" Victor said to Tim, watching Adam and Paul walk away from their seats.
"I sure as hell hope so, those two guys are so nice, and so deserve someone special!" Tim replied.
Meanwhile, Paul, still leading Adam by the hand, went behind the bar and opened a door leading down a long hallway. At the end they found a door, which looked like any typical apartment door anywhere else. Paul pulled out a key chain and fished around for one particular key which he used to unlock and open the door. Adam followed both meekly and excitedly. He loved the forcefulness that Paul showed but also liked his soft side. And that hand holding, was it cute or what? And it felt good, Adam thought.
They walked into the apartment which looked like any other ordinary apartment. Paul took a left turn down another hall which seemed to be a smaller apartment. Opening a red door, they stepped inside. Adam stopped to look around one very large room. In one corner was a kitchen area and another corner had a small door which was partway open and seemed to lead to the bath room. The room was completely carpeted in a loud red carpet and the black painted walls were covered with movie posters of vampires, aliens, zombies and all other crazy creatures. One poster in particular caught his eye and Adam walked towards it. It was from the Twilight Trilogy movies and showed the two lead stars, the one who was a vampire, and the other guy, who played the werewolf, but they were stark naked on this particular movie poster, and both sporting rock hard erections while grinning at each other/ "Holy fuck!" Adam exclaimed. "Are these pictures real, Paul?" Adam's mouth was wide open, enjoying the view of the two movie hotties.
Paul walked over to stand at Adam's side. "To be honest Adam," Paul began to blush as he spoke, "I always had the hots for the Lautner guy." So one day I took a photographer friend who specializes in movie posters and we visited the guys on the set of a movie they were shooting recently. I talked them in to letting me take a nude photo for a private poster, and there it is!" Paul said with his arms proudly crossed over his chest.
"But they're naked and HARD, very hard!" Adam said, still in disbelief.
"As a vampire, I can make people do things," Paul explained.
"I don't know Paul," Adam said. "Maybe this is photo shopped, but don't get me wrong, its still a hot pic!" Adam added.
Paul turned to Adam and grinned. He kicked off his boots and pulled at his socks, so he was now in his bare feet. He then reached to his waist and pulled up and off his polo shirt, revealing a firm ripped chest and very impressive abs. He smiled softly at Adam, who took a step back, unsure what to expect seeing Paul partially undress.
But Adam was drawn in to Paul's face which seemed to shimmer with a calmness and sweetness, as if they always knew each other. Adam was totally calm and comfortable by Paul's amazing warm smile. He felt good. He felt warm. He felt safe. He just stared at Paul who grinned back.
Then Paul turned away from Adam. He was actually facing in the opposite direction. Adam immediately felt his heart sink. He felt cold. He felt alone.
And then Paul turned back to face Adam. "You okay Adam?" Paul asked.
"Um, uh, sure, um why do you ask?" Adam responded, feeling just a bit odd.
"Maybe you're cold because you are standing there in only your briefs!" Paul suggested.
"What?!" Adam said, looking down and seeing that he was no longer wearing his shirt or pants and was now barefoot. He looked around to see his clothes neatly folded on the edge of the bed. "How? Um how...?" Adam stammered.
Paul dropped his leather pants, wearing a pair of yellow striped boxers, the exact opposite Adam would have expected, he thought. Paul walked slowly up to Adam. "I'm sorry man, I just had to show you. I wanted you to know me, to know the real me," Paul pleaded to Adam.
Adam stood face to face with Paul, his mind filled with questions and confusion, but feeling the body heat next to him, wanting to touch that body heat, to be part of that body heat, but so afraid of being let on for something cold and temporary. All Adam could hear was his own confused mind pleading that this could be real, and not just some quick and easy emotionless sex.
Paul grinned softly. "Adam, this is not quick and easy emotionless sex. I do not want that either. I also want something real," Paul admitted.
"You..... you .... you read my mind! You can read minds! This isn't right!" Adam exclaimed, his voice rising.
"Please forgive me, it was just so loud in my mind, so close, and it sounded like my own mind. We are so on the same wavelength. Please I beg you not to be mad. I'll try not to do that again," Paul said, his voice cracking in his plea.
"I so need this to be real!" Adam said.
Paul leaned in for a kiss as Adam met him half way, their arms locking in a tight hug and embrace. Their lips parted and Paul's tongue moved forward, finding its target as two tongues touched and tasted and explored each other. At one point Adam let out a little moan as his defenses started to collapse and felt Paul's own moan echo deep inside of him. Their hands pulled at the others briefs and in no time they were both standing naked, their hard cocks snaking up their bellies between them. Adam's eyes were locked on Paul, enjoying this human contact, this warm skin on skin touching. Adam looked to find himself sideways, his toes no longer on the ground, not touching, but not touching anything! Still in Paul's embrace but feeling a bit startled, he realized that the two of them were floating over to the bed. He was sure that he was imagining this and that he was probably fast asleep enjoying a rather bizarre dream.
Paul was in ecstasy having found a kindred spirit, wanting to find a guy who was not only sexy and hot but wanted something real, not something fake and just sexual. And to Paul's added pleasure, this Adam guy was a real hottie. Just under six feet like himself, his brown hair framed the face of a cherub with mischief boiling under the surface. They were both in their mid twenties and ready for something real. In their embrace, Paul used his vampire ability to bend the space around him so he could float over to the bed with his new lover. Paul just didn't want to take even a moment to let go of this guy just to get to the bed.
On the large mattress, Paul and Adam were sitting up right on the bed, their legs crossed, their cocks rock hard looking for release. The two smiled as they moved towards each other, but this time going in opposite directions as the settled on their sides, each with the hard cock of the other facing their mouths. Instantly the two moved hungrily towards each other,. Adam took Paul's hot hard cock into his mouth. He loved feeling the soft skin and the firm hot muscle throbbing underneath. Adam tasted Paul's precum which began to leak and that only made Adam hungrier and thirstier, his lust taking over and building his sexual frenzy.
Paul was also enjoying a taste of hot cock in his mouth. He reached around to grab Adams ass cheeks and held on tight, keeping the hard cock deeply embedded in his mouth. While in his own sexual bliss, he felt his vampire teeth slowly extend as he turned his mouth so that his fangs could reach the underside of Adam's cock where his cum would soon flow. Paul allowed his mind to spread, filling the room until he felt his mind melt with Adam, feeling Adam's sexual frenzy and heat. The double shock of heightened pleasure which he both took from Adam and sent back into Adam, caused both guys to orgasm at the same moment. Adam let out a howl of pleasure, having never reached such a level of sexual release.
Adam's hips bucked and shook as he seed flowed out of his cock. But Paul wanted more, as his bite penetrated the skin of Adam's cock base and additional cum began to flow into his mouth. He sucked and sucked, taking his load from both the head of Adam's cock and from the base. Paul's sucking began to ease, as he knew that he had nearly drained the sweet balls before him. He withdrew his fangs from Adam's flesh and began to lick over the area, hoping to heal the cut and avoid too much blood leakage. He remembered the large blood stain around his own balls after Tim had taken his seed and brought him into the vampire clan. It was most upsetting to see the blood and he was hopping to spare Adam from the same sight.
Paul soon released Adams cock from his mouth as he felt his own cock begin to relax although it was still deep in Adam's mouth. Paul smiled as the pleasure that Adam had just provided him. Adam was clearly a natural, providing such wonderful bliss and bringing Paul to such a high level of ecstasy. And in exchange, he knew that he had provided Adam a large offering of his own seed. The two lovers pulled apart, soon finding themselves on their sides facing each other with their heads on the pillows.
"How you doing hot stuff?" Paul asked sweetly.
"That was amazing!" Adam responded. "Your load was like an aphrodisiac, and I think I came in buckets. I just came and came and came. Whew! I'm almost embarrassed. It must be a mess down there!" Adam joked.
Paul's face got serious for a moment. "Adam, could you feel what I did down there?" Paul asked.
"Well, I know you sucked me, and I felt a quick little bite I think?" Adam answered and asked.
"Well, to get to the point, you are halfway there to becoming like me. But its up to you if you want to go all the way. If we stop now, you'll return to how you were. But if you want the extra powers, we have on more step." Adam continued his smile, staring at Paul and began to let his eyes follow down Paul's rock hard body. He loved to look at Paul's chest and those amazing pecs and cute nipples staring back.. He loved the washboard abs and the v shaped muscles coming down his hips and pointing to his amazing trimmed pubes and gorgeous 8 inch uncut cock, which seemed to move and twitch with a life of its own. Adam looked further and down at his own body, and seeing a small blood stain around the base of his cock and another blood stain on his sheets.
"That's your handiwork Paul?" Adam asked cautiously.
"Yes, but that was the one and only bite, but if you continue the change and we become lovers and partners, we may nibble on each other from time to time if we want, if you want," Paul offered slowly with a grin.
"So no more blood tonight?" Adam asked.
"None at all lover," Paul said slowly, realizing that he was about to make Adam his life partner.
"Then do what you want," Adam began, "but just make sure I have the pleasure of a good fuck from you, and then I get to take your cherry too!" Adam beamed.
Paul began to laugh. "What's so funny, you sexy thing?" Adam asked.
"The second part of the "initiation" is me fucking you!" Paul explained. "And while you won't have the energy to fuck me tonight, you'll need to fuck me tomorrow to complete the circle of our vampire lust!"
With that explanation, both Adam and Paul broke out laughing and soon found themselves in a deep tight hug. Adam stared deep into Paul's eyes and felt love. But it was for the love of Adam, not Paul. Adam wrinkled his face, showing his confusion.
"You're in my head babe!" Paul explained with a grin. "And I love it!"
"I am?" Adam asked. "I didn't mean too!" he offered.
"Its cool! We're starting to link! I've never done this before. Its new for me too! Tim and Victor told me it would be this way Adam. For when I would meet my soul mate!" Paul said, his eyes filling with tears. Adam grinned, feeling that his smile had never been this wide before in his entire life as he let his mind float between him and Paul. He was so ready to offer himself to Paul, truly body, mind and soul!
Adam leaned on his back and put up his knees, rolling forward his ass as an offering to Paul. Paul leaned forward on the edge of the bed, his hard cock already throbbing and ready for more, his precum slowly offering a few dribbles onto the bed sheets below. Paul leaned into Adam's legs as he pulled Adam closer and was soon able to maneuver his anxious cock towards Paul's waiting rosebud. With their eyes locked, Paul pushed his hips out a bit further and forced his cock head into Adam's ass hole. Once the head popped in, Paul stared deep into Adams eyes, their hearts smiling. Paul felt both his cock reach inside Adam but he also felt the pressure Adam felt at that same moment. Equally, Adam experienced both the pleasure and pain of Paul's cock's entry into him. As Paul pushed in deeper, both Adam and Paul experienced the other's feelings and emotions. Both experienced a double sexual sensual experience. Not a word was exchanged as each knew exactly what the other desired and what actions needed to be taken. It was unlike anything either of the lovers had ever experienced.
In no time, Paul was thrashing and shoving himself into Adam. And Adam bucked and lurched against Paul's hot, hard and throbbing cock, feeling every sensation from within and around his own body. With their eyes either closed or staring at each other, their combined awareness actually controlled how forceful their eventual comings would be. In and out their bodies rocked. Their bodies glistening with sweat as they moaned and groaned as one, feeling as one connected body and one connected mind. Bliss was a level they had long passed. The ecstasy and passion was at a level rarely experienced between two lovers. And at the appointed moment, they knew they were ready. Each used their own bodies to coax the other into a frenzied orgasm. Paul's body racked with sheer pleasure as his hips thrust forward plunging his cock deep into Adam, giving up his own cream and even returning some of the cream he had taken from Adam just moments before, having already processed it and now implanting the full vampire essence back into Adam. After a full night's sleep tonight, Paul knew Adam would wake in his newly reborn vampire body and vampire powers and vampire senses.
Adam came at the same time and shot his load onto his own belly and chest, with some splashing up onto Paul's chest which was now lowering onto his own chest. Paul's cock softened enough to fall from Adam's love channel and he fell onto Paul, their bellies and chests settling down together. They were both exhausted, but Adam really began to feel out of it. Paul soon rolled off Adam as they lay next to each other, their faces a mere inches apart. "You need to rest now lover," Paul explained. "I'm going to clean up and then come back to look after you," Paul added.
"You know "I'm falling in love with you, don't you?!" stated Paul.
Adam grinned, his mind rolling off into the distance. "Me too sexy!" Adam murmured, before drifting off into a most glorious relaxing slumber.

"Mixed experiences of West Yorkshire Urgent Care"
About: Bradford and Airedale Teaching PCT / Emergency GP out of hours service Bradford and Airedale Teaching PCT Emergency GP out of hours service
Posted by NaeemKhan (as ),
The West Yorkshire Urgent Care phone hangs up after automated voice recording and before connecting to a health professional. The phone is answered by an automated voice recording and before you get to talk to a health professional, the phone tone changes to engaged and it hangs up. I tried contacting WYUC 3 times (one after the other) and on each occasion the same thing happened, phone hangs up. Also, I phoned them day before and the same thing happened.
I finally got through to them. I have to admit they were very professional. I spoke to health professional who told me I will be contacted within an hour by a nurse. The nurse phoned within 10 minutes, well within the hour. The nurse told me I needed to take my daughter to BRI, so that a doctor could see her and that I will be contacted within an hour about the appointment time. Again, I was contacted within in 10 minutes.

My Thoughts on Computers
Okay, I'm going to press on since my ten year old and seven year old really want me to get on with it so that they can use my computer. I'm going to do my best to be a grown up about it and do everything I can so that they can use and play some kind of cooperative online thingie that I barely understand.
When I was a kid, or at least a teenager, we had one PC in the house. As time wore on, we had a PC and a Megadrive – that's a kind of console for those who don't know. Hang on, we probably had the old Amstrad and the BBC Micro-computer knocking about somewhere as well. So that's three computers in, say 1996.
It's now twenty years later and lets' do a count up shall we. I've got a Macbook Pro that needs fixing, but is still probably functional, my wife and I both have Macbook Airs. The kids have an iMac upstairs, and they've got a WiiU. They've each got a Kindle Fire, and we've got an iPad as well. We have two iPhone 4S and one iPhone 6, and a Gameboy DS and a Gameboy 3DS. So, let me see, that's fourteen computers, compared to three twenty years ago.
Admittedly, that would have been a lot different if I had been one of three boys, like my kids – more kids means more stuff, and boys are often into computers more than girls. I know my sister really didn't give a crap about computer games.
So, obviously my family now I have grown is not identical to the one I grew in, but the fact is we've got fourteen computers, and I'm thinking of getting more! Can you believe that? In an ideal world, I wouldn't have to say no to the kids because I need this computer for work. We would have enough for them to do cooperative game-play without using the work computers. Since there are three of them, that means two more laptops or desktops.
I personally would like to get a new Playstation. I also need a new phone and will probably let my kids use my old one.
This proliferation of technology is bonkers. It's worth noting that most of that proliferation has happened in the last five years – basically since the point when my wife and I realised we each needed our own computer. Anyway, c'est vie, I suppose. Quite what the future has in store, I don't know, but I've never known, so it's no different to any other time really. One thing I can say for certain though, computers sure are helpful, and the are a lot of fun too.
