Preacher: Character Guide
AMC is adding another comic-book-based show to its roster this year with Preacher, a new series based on the cult '90s comics. Joining The Walking Dead, Fear The Walking Dead and Comic Book Men, the series will be another offering for nerdier types who aren't into masked superheroes – and it looks fantastic!The pilot was screened at SXSW, alongside a special signing event and a Q&A with cast and creators, and it was an unqualified success. Without giving too much away, it's smart, funny, balances action and character, and is absolutely perfect for people who are just a little bit messed up. Welcome to the best, blackest humor in the west, with a shot of whiskey on the side.
One of the most impressive things about the pilot is how complete it feels. There's no sense that the creative team are still working out the details or direction – it seems more like the start of a third season than a first. It's in the attention to detail, in the perfect timing, but most of all it's in the cast and the characters. Fans of the comics will not be disappointed, even with some fairly sizable changes being made. Whether you are a long-time fan of the books or completely new to Anneville, we've got you covered with our Preacher character guide. Warning: Mild spoilers ahead from the comic books and the pilot.Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper)
Jesse Custer is the central figure of the Preacher trio. A drunk and a man without a calling to his church, he spends his mornings trudging through uninspired sermons to a tiny congregation and his nights at the bar.
In the comics: He has a complicated family history that redefines "messed up" – one that he left in order to steal cars with a pretty girl. His return to preaching wasn't willing, but it was short, as the word of God (aka Genesis) comes to him and simultaneously destroys his entire church. On the run and armed with this new power, he sets out to find the God that he never entirely believed in and ask him what the hell he's been thinking all these centuries. In the show: We don't know much about him just yet, but there is definitely a history with Tulip, and a dark, un-preacher-ly past behind him. Of course, it's not completely behind him, as we find out in a stunning fight scene in the pilot. It does look like we'll be spending a lot longer in Anneville this time around, exploring Jesse's relationship with the church and the townsfolk. He also seems to have more of a connection to Anneville than he did in the books, as mention is made of him being there in the past. Genesis arrives in the pilot, and his eventual search for the Almighty is bound to appear in time, but it feels like Preacher will be a slower burn than the comics overall. Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga)
Tulip is the long suffering ex-lover of Jesse, (the pretty blonde I mentioned!) who ends up bumping into him again on the road and joining his quest.
In the comics: Tulip is a bit of a mystery. When she first shows up, it's pure coincidence and she is less than thrilled to see Jesse. She still loves him, but hates him for abandoning her, and ended up trying her hand as an assassin to try and make ends meet. Now running from some very dangerous people, she's decided to help Jesse out. In the show: Thankfully, it looks like the show will be skipping some of the early, overly-vulnerable Tulip from the books and heading straight into the world of Tulip-the-badass. She still has a history with Jesse, but isn't the broken-hearted type. Instead, she's got her own dark past and wants his help with one last job… We don't know exactly what kind of job yet (car thievery? Assassination? A tricky jar lid?), but given her incredible (and violent) skill set, it's sure to be something that no self-respecting preacher would be involved in. Which is why Jesse is clearly the man for the job! Proinsias Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun)
Cassidy is an Irish vampire with a predilection for drugs and alcohol, who ends up joining Tulip and Jesse – although he occasionally does them more harm than good. More Spike than Edward, but a little rougher than both, he's a brand new kind of vamp for the small screen.
In the comics: Cassidy comes into Jesse's life after Tulip car-jacks him, and ends up sticking around, partially because he doesn't really have anything better to do. He is an asshole with a long history of doing nothing with his immortality, but he cares deeply for these two, and develops a life (or after-life) changing friendship with Jesse. In the show: Right from the start, Gilgun brings the Cassidy we know and love to the small screen, but beyond his personality, there are some changes. Cassidy is still a vampire (functionally immortal, tends to catch alight in the sun, and drinks blood to survive), but he seems to have some connections and some enemies that we don't see in the comics. He also lands in Anneville in a totally new way – and one that starts with drugs, booze, and violence – exactly how Cassidy would want it. Sheriff Root (W Earl Brown)
The local law enforcement of Anneville, Sheriff Root is a mean, bitter man who has no patience for anyone he doesn't like.
In the comics: Hugo Root is a short-lived character in the comics, who goes after Jesse… even though he believes that "Martian niggers" are actually the cause of the strange murders in Anneville. He's not a complicated man, just a racist small-town law-enforcer who comes to a particularly unpleasant end involving the word of God and self-sodomy. In the show: We'll be seeing a lot more of Sheriff Root in the series, as he now presides over Anneville (and the show is staying put there for the first season). Still a belligerent and unpleasant man, he's also a lot lazier than his comic counterpart – this Root would rather just look the other way and avoid any trouble at all. We're yet to see if he exhibits the kind of appalling racism from the books, but there's little doubt he'll be small-minded. Arseface/Eugene Root (Ian Colletti)
Sheriff Root's son, Arseface is a horribly disfigured teen, desperate for his father's love.
In the comics: Aresface has an interesting comic-book journey – motivated largely by his father's death (at first), his life is full of ups and downs – from nothing to fame and fortune, and back again. His disfigurement is the result of a failed suicide attempt, and is so disgusting that it makes people vomit on sight. In the show: His injuries are toned down slightly – presumably because it wouldn't make for ideal viewing fodder to make the audience constantly nauseated! However, the characteristic puckered face is still there, along with his father's shame and his desperate desire to make it up to him. Because he and his father will now have an existing relationship with Jesse, it remains to be seen how Arseface will develop through the series, but it will definitely involve some differences to the comics. Fiore & DeBlanc (Tom Brooke and Anatol Yusef)
Two angels sent to Earth to find Genesis, Fiore and DeBlanc are the ones who first reveal the truth of Heaven to Jesse and set him on his quest.
In the comics: While these two start off as good servants of heaven, and relatively meek ones at that, the human world corrupts them completely by the end. They go from searching for Genesis to helping Jesse with information, having given up on their mission at the last. In the show: We see only glimpses of these two in the pilot – strangely dressed, clearly less-than-comfortable on Earth, and on the search for Genesis. The two will undoubtedly be instrumental in moving the plot forward and connecting Jesse and Anneville to the larger concepts and his eventual quest. Odin Quincannon (Jackie Earle Haley)
A ruthless and disturbed businessman, Odin Quincannon runs the town from behind the scenes with his money, and by bringing in jobs and money.
In the comics: Quincannon appears in a different town in the books, called Salvation. The character runs a meat plant, is a member of the KKK, and clashes with Jesse many times in his brief tenure as the Sheriff of Salvation. In the show: Quincannon has been transplanted to Anneville, but otherwise appears largely unchanged. He does his fair share of underhanded dealings, and doesn't get along well with Jesse's more principled (if slightly lackluster) approach to the town. It will be fascinating to see how the stories of Anneville and Salvation will be combined in this first season, and where Qunicannon will come into play. Emily (Lucy Griffiths)
The church organist and bookkeeper, Emily is a hardworking woman doing her best to keep the Anneville church on its feet – to say nothing of Jesse on his.
In the comics: Emily was created entirely for the show, so she has no comic history! In the show: Emily is the polar opposite of Jesse – devout, innocent, devoting her time to the church and the town for the sheer Christian duty. A mother and a waitress, she is hardworking and compassionate, although life seems to have beaten her down just a little. Who Else Could We See?
Preacher seems like it will unspool with a little less reckless speed than the comics, taking the time to really build the characters brick by brick, rather than tossing the viewer in at the deep end. This will also allow for the story to expand a little, and if the show is successful, it gives us space to see many more seasons to come.
With that, we are sure to see some more of the major characters from the comics who are integral to Jesse Custer's search for God, but who might not need to appear right in the first few episodes. The Saint of Killers as well as Herr Starr, The Allfather, and the other members of the Grail are pretty much guaranteed in order to keep the Preacher name on the series. Jesse's parents, John and Christine Custer are sure to appear to build up his backstory further, and unless his past is changed completely, we should see Marie L'Angelle, TC and Jody as well.
Beyond that, there is a huge cast of colorful characters who may or may not appear, but few who are truly vital, especially as we can already see that the writers are taking some liberties with the storyline in the combination of Salvation and Anneville. Some of the more detailed stories can be re-created into something new, without losing the heart and soul of Preacher.
As with any show, we'll be waiting to see where these characters go and who else appears along the way, but for now, we hope that these breakdowns are useful going into Season One. Preacher premieres May 22nd, 2016

The Deepwater Horizon crisis was a wake up call that our reliance on foreign oil has grave implications for our future. As Chairman of the Energy and Utilities Policy Committee, Steve is working to develop a 21st century energy strategy that promotes a holistic view of how we produce and consume energy. This includes balancing our overall "energy portfolio", as well as bringing more nuclear and renewable energy sources and leveraging our energy investments towards a vibrant, clean-tech economy that will spur job creation. Steve believes a focused strategy on energy independence will attract significant investment in Florida, diversify our economy and create jobs.

The consensus estimate forecast earnings of 96 cents per share for the most recent quarter.

Additionally, Fossil announced this afternoon that it has extended its partnership with Giorgio Armani, signing a 10-year global licensing agreement for timepieces.
Shares of fossil are flat in after-hours trading today.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates FOSSIL GROUP INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate FOSSIL GROUP INC (FOSL) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."

i asked her a week ago and she said no she is hurt by her ex and i must ask her out later.
after two days she acted pissed and depresed
i tried to help where i could
Friday night she said another guy makes her happy and always cares about her and said she wants to be with him and i over-reacted with jealousy and started argueing to her all the things she said about us in the future and the convo ended there
Today i appologized for being an idiot and she said i over reacted and the guy was just a friend
what did she mean by this
was she testing me to see if i care about her
Most Helpful Girl
In my opinion, it doesn't sound like a test. It sounds like she was going through a tough time & was having feelings for this guy but she changed her mind & sees him as only a friend now or the guy & her decided to just be friends. You should ask her if they are just friend or together just to clarify, incase u two end up together. :)00|00|0
Thanks for MHO. :)

You might have heard of deus ex machina endings somewhere before - perhaps in reference to novel writing, more likely to movies or plays. But let's start by being totally clear about what the phrase means.
Here is the Oxford English Dictionary definition...
"Deus ex Machina, noun. An unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation, especially as a contrived plot device in a play or novel."
The literal translation is "god from the machinery," and it derives from Ancient Greek theater.
The characters in the play would get themselves into a terrible mess (or a "seemingly hopeless situation" as the dictionary puts it) - so much so that the only way to sort out the mess was for the gods (or actors playing the gods) to emerge from the "machinery" of the stage and put the world to right again with their divine powers.
For our own plotting purposes, a "D.E.M." ending means a contrived or awkward or unbelievable ending, one which fails to flow naturally and logically from the events which preceded it in the novel.
Imagine a detective in a good old-fashioned Whodunnit. We'll call him Smith.
Now, we know that Smith will unmask the murderer by the end of the novel (because that's what happens in crime fiction). But for this unmasking to be satisfying to the reader, the name of the guilty person or persons must come to Smith as a result of his own skills and efforts.
Smith spends the bulk of the novel searching for clues, interviewing suspects, piecing together the evidence - in short, doing all the usual things a detective does in a crime novel.
Sure, he makes mistakes as he goes (all detectives do), and his initial thoughts and theories are proved wrong, but the reader has faith that his skills of detection will eventually lead him to the truth.
And eventually Smith would have discovered the identity of the murderer - if his creator had been any good at plotting novels.
Unfortunately, though, the writer calls in the gods and settles on a contrived ending instead.
Smith, you see, has reached a "seemingly hopeless situation"...
The murderer is arrested, Smith is patted on the back, and everyone is happy - everyone except for the novel's unsatisfied readers, of course.
Why are they left unsatisfied?
Because the crime was solved through Smith just happening to be in the right place at the right time, totally by chance.
It was solved by forces outside of the detective's control (by the Ancient Greek god of "luck", if you like), and not as a result of his own skills and efforts. The difference is critical.
If you want to keep your readers satisfied in your own novel writing pursuits (and I'm guessing you probably will), avoid a deus ex machina ending at all costs.
Keep the "gods" out of it and leave it to the mortals in the novel to sort out their own problems.
I had a follow-up question on this from one of my readers...
"In my story the main character ends up a quadriplegic, but with the aid of stem cells and lots of physio she walks again. Does that constitute what you call a contrived ending?"
The simple answer is that it could be a contrived ending. It all depends on how you handle it.
A contrived ending in a novel is one which arrives out of the blue and seems too convenient to be believable. It is one which fails to flow naturally and logically from the events that came before it.
In your own story, did you mention the possibility of a stem cell cure throughout the novel? Or did you suddenly spring it on the readers right at the end?
In the first instance, the ending would certainly have a touch of the deus ex machina about it. In the second instance, it wouldn't.
However a novel ends, it is important to lay the groundwork for it, or foreshadow it, earlier in the novel. How? By planting little "signposts" along the way that this is the direction in which things are heading.
Be careful, though. While it is important to prepare readers for the ending (so that it strikes them as believable), you don't want to make the end obvious. So make the signposts subtle. And also plant some other, misleading signposts which will lead the audience to expect an ending which never actually occurs.
Here are a few thoughts on how you might avoid a contrived ending in your own book:
Now, I might be completely off track with these suggestions. Without knowing the details of your novel, it is impossible to know. Hopefully, though, I have told you enough about deus ex machina endings in general for you to be able to figure out the specifics for yourself!

This year's Golden Globes gave us plenty to talk about. It was definitely a night for acceptance speeches; Donald Glover's ATL-Migos inspired speech was a highlight, while Meryl Streep's words, directed at Trump, caught the eye.
Read Meryl Streep's powerful Golden Globes speech https://t.co/hUCTsJkC7Lpic.twitter.com/K0z0oXtwJ4— TIME (@TIME) January 10, 2017
Most people praised her for the speech first, but one person who took exception is The Daily Show host, Trevor Noah who said:
"I understand what Meryl Streep was trying to do, and I don't know if I could've done better in that moment, but here's the thing I feel like we could all learn as people. You don't have to make your point by s—ting on someone else's thing, because a lot of people love football and the arts."
Here's Trevor's full response:
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has responded by describing Streep as one of the most "overrated actors in Hollywood"

So here's a question. I have a friend who's phone was recently stolen. No screen lock code or any real protection, phone wasn't very old at all actually, couple months. They did sync it with their gmail account so email is going to the phone. They called and got the SIM deactivated but I'm wondering if whoever stole it and connected to a wifi connection, would they still be able to access my friend's email account or anything that can use a wifi signal to connect with?

Actually just found the answer, change gmail password, duh!
Jan 12, 2012 at 9:27 UTC
I actually have SeekDroid on my phone. Great little app. It was free on the Amazon app store a while back. It's a great investment and backup plan.
Jan 12, 2012 at 9:31 UTC
I haven't personally used Lookout in this way, but if the Android OS is new enough to support remote installation of apps, you should be able to remotely install Lookout from the market and it appears Lookout has a remote wipe feature. As well as GPS locator. This should still work even with a new SIM so long as the phone hasn't already been wiped.
Jan 12, 2012 at 9:34 UTC
The other thing you could try if changing the password has no immediate effect is to see if there is a way to disable IMAP and POP in the gmail settings temporarily.
Jan 12, 2012 at 2:39 UTC
lockout is great so is were is my droid and if all else fails plan b i have heard is ok

Dear Readers - I have decided to keep experimenting with the science fiction and male erotica mash-up. Just like the Interstellar series, this is set at the same time in a possible future but isn't a part of that series, instead it's part of what I will refer to in subsequent stories as, FROM THE TERRACORP CHRONICLES. Please let me know what you think.
Day 1
If you're reading this, you must have found it by my body because I plan to keep it with me. Or, you may have found it with the stuff that I left behind because I finally was able to get off Earth and I don't intend to take anything with me to remind me of this place. Or third, you stole some of my shit and I hope you rot in hell which wouldn't be much different than just being alive here on Earth.
I found this book of blank pages while I was rummaging through an old office supply store looking for anything I might be able to barter with but decided to keep it so at least I had it speak to, well if speaking were the same as writing down my thoughts.
I wrote Day 1 at the top of this page because I have no idea what day it is. I couldn't even tell you what season it is anymore. Dry, hot and sunny is just the way it is all of the time. I know I should be able to tell by the Sun and the Moon but I never learned about that when I was younger. Every once in a while I'll run in to somebody who knows, but I usually didn't have anything to write it down on to start tracking the days.
Well, I better get some sleep before I go to work.
Day 4
God, it was hot today. I need to see if I can find a hat somewhere.
At least now I can track days. In looking back at my first entry, I realize if you are reading this that you have no idea who I am. My name is Rusty, actually when I was born my parents named me Russell but someone called my Rusty and it stuck. If I remember correctly, the water wars started when I was younger than 10 and we talked about it school before they were closed. The fighting reached Illinois just after I turned 12 so I must be 18 or 19 now. My parents, sister and I had entered the lottery to go to one of the new colonies that TerraCorp had created across the part of the galaxy nearest to Earth but we didn't get selected. The rumor was that the lottery was all an act, that TerraCorp chose the people they wanted or who had enough credits to pay for a ticket. I guess when TerraCorp didn't need any more people on the colonies they just stopped taking people to them, that's when things really got bad.
Originally the water wars started in the Southwest of what was the United States. The states of California, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado had been politically fighting for decades about water but when Colorado announced plans to dam the Colorado River it escalated. It turned from political and legal into actual fighting. My father made sure I read about it so that I could understand what the United States had been at one time and how it had so radically changed. My father made me read a lot, I wish he was still around. I'm leaving now for my job in the corn fields. TerraCorp pays us with food, they seem to make sure we have all that we need since everyone who was still around and working seemed healthy and looked like what my Mom used to call farm breed and farm feed. I know I had grown a lot because I had to wear some of Dad's old clothes even though they are too big. I'm not as tall as he was but the ample food and the daily work in the fields had made by body strong and muscled.
Day 7
I haven't written anything the last couple of days because when I get home I'm just too tired and usually go right to bed. The last couple of days have been interesting, if that's the right word. I currently have a job detasseling corn in one of the TerraCorp agra zones. Corn is one of the plants that seems to be difficult to grow on most of the terraformed worlds, so it's one of the few exports the Earth still has. If they ever figure the problem out, I'm sure TerraCorp will abandon what's left of what was the United States.
It was tiring work but I needed the food. While I was working, I saw two men between the rows, one of the men was on his knees and had the other man's dick in his mouth and he was moving his head back and forth. At one point the man that was standing grabbed the head of the man on his knees and pulled his face as close to his body as he could. I could see the standing man's legs start to quiver and he seemed to be grunting, then he pushed the other man's head away, pulled up his pants and went back to detasseling. While I watched, my dick got hard in my pants like when I beat off.
I remember talking with my friends about beating off and sex before they and their families left on a colony ship or to try to cross the border into Canada but besides beating off I didn't have any experience when it came to sex. My parents didn't have any books on sex and the library has been closed since TerraCorp took control of Central Illinois. My friends and I knew that the way to make a baby with a girl was to stick our dicks in what they called her pussy, I can't remember the correct word, but it was also supposed to feel really good, even better than beating off. One of my friends even told me that he had put his dick into a girl's mouth and that she had sucked on it. I think that's what I saw those two men doing.
Speaking of friends, I don't have any now, I take care of myself. My Dad left a long time ago to try to find work farther north where there was supposed to be more water. He said he'd come back for us as soon as he could. He never came back. When my Mom got sick, we didn't have enough credits for the TerraCorp medical facility and she died. Luckily, TerraCorp, along with food, did provide water and electricity for the people who stayed because they needed us to work, so my older sister and I were able to stay in our house. Maybe a year ago, some TerraCorp guy started to hang around my sister. One day he asked her if she would come back with him to the colony where he lived. He wouldn't agree to bring me along so I had to convince her that I'd be okay and that she should leave while she had the chance. I haven't heard from her.
I can't get that image of those two men out of mind. I seem to remember that some of the older boys used to call boys that played with another boy's dick cocksuckers and faggots. I wonder if I can talk to someone about this.
Day 9
As usual, I woke up with a hard dick this morning and decided to beat off before I went to work. I usually try to think about what it would feel like if I was sticking my dick into a girl's pussy or her mouth. This morning I thought about those two men and more particularly what it felt like to have someone's dick in my mouth. Does that make me a cocksucker and faggot? I remember when my family used to go to church that the minister said that it was a sin for men to do what I had seen and what I was thinking about. I guess that makes me a sinner, because I couldn't stop thinking about being a cocksucker all day. But if sinners went to hell, I am already here.
My dick was hard all day and actually began to hurt. I also couldn't stop looking at the other guys working and how big their dicks might be. The only dick I've ever seen is my own. At one point when I had to take a leak, I went to one of the portable johns and beat off for the second time that day.
After I came home, I did some cleaning but more and more I realized the house was too big and I didn't like keeping it clean. Pretty much I just focused on the kitchen, my bedroom and the bathroom.
Day 12
I heard some of the older men talking today. They were saying that this year's crop wasn't good. There was less corn and it wasn't very good quality. Another guy said he heard that TerraCorp was pulling out after the crop was brought in and we all would be screwed. No jobs, no electricity and no water. Another guy said that he was going to leave anyway because most of the women had already left or would leave with the TerraCorp men at the end of the season. I heard another man, who was probably a little bit older than me, say that he was horny and that he was ready to fuck some faggot ass. The other men laughed but I wondered what that meant.
If TerraCorp really left, where can I go? When the western states were fighting, it ended badly for Southern California, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. Texas succeeded from the United States and took control of those states, along with all of the states that were on the Gulf, including Florida. I also heard that there had been fighting with Mexico. When what was left of the United States entered the fight, to take back control, most of the cities in the West were pretty much destroyed. Since Texas, and the states that had been taken, are on the gulf, they had access to water but it was expensive to get rid of the salt, that's when TerraCorp stepped in and took control. Rumors are that they just use the land there for its natural resources and besides workers, no one really lives there anymore, they either went to one of the colonies or headed north. Canada, with the backing of TerraCorp had invaded the Northwest, the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes and New England. In essence, TerraCorp controlled all of North America. Other corporations had taken control of the other continents. If my job ended, I guess I'll join one of the groups of people that wander around in search of water and food. Before my Dad left he referred to them as Nomads, whatever that means.
Day 13
I guess I am a cocksucker and a faggot. The guy who made the comment yesterday about fucking some faggot ass followed me when I was walking home from the corn field. He stopped me just before I got back to the house. He said he had been watching me for a while and that he and some of the other guys thought I might have a sweet ass under my work clothes. He was taller than me and weighed more than me. He pushed me into the house and took off his sweat stained shirt. He had a large chest and broad shoulders like my father and uncles but his stomach was tighter, probably from all the work we did. Unlike most of us who were from around here who have blondish hair, his hair was dark. He had stubble on his face like he hadn't shaved in a while. A lot of us just shave weekly since it's getting harder to find razors. He asked me where the bathroom was and said he was going to take a shower and that I should take one when he was done. He told me to get him some towels. I wasn't sure what to do, so I got some towels and waited for him outside of the bathroom. When he stepped from the shower he told me to give him a towel and that I should get in the shower and that I should hurry up.
When I got out of the shower and turned the water off, I could hear him in the kitchen opening cabinets and drawers. He yelled for me to come to the kitchen. When I said I needed to put on some clothes he told me not to so I wrapped the towel around my waist. When I got to the kitchen he asked where the booze was. When I told him I didn't have any, he wasn't happy. He wanted to know why I didn't get any with my weekly allocation of food. I told him I have never had booze, so I didn't take it. He told me that I better get some the next time I picked up my food supplies because he would want a drink when he came over.
Even though I had seen the man in the fields, I didn't know his name and asked him what it was. He told me Jack. Oh, Jack was totally naked in my kitchen. His dick was much bigger than mine, so were his balls.
Jack sat down in one of the kitchen chairs and spread his legs. While my arms and legs are pretty hairless, his legs were covered with dark hair. He told me to take care of him. I wasn't sure what he meant but when he started to stroke his dick like I did when I beat off, I understood, he wanted me to do the same thing I had seen the man do in the field the other day. He told me to get down on my knees and take care of his cock. Even though I hadn't heard a dick called that, I knew what he meant. His dick, his cock, got bigger the longer he stroked it.
For a minute all I could do was look at it, not sure what do. Jack made the decision for me, he put a hand behind my neck and pulled me toward the giant cock that was in front of me. He told me to open my mouth and I did. I tentatively put my lips around the top part of his dick. He told me to suck his head, another new word for me. I sucked like I would if I was using a straw in a drink. Jack laughed and said his friends were right, I was a virgin. That seemed to get him more excited, as he tried to pull me farther onto his cock, I explored the head and the shaft with my tongue. I liked the way it tasted. I liked the feel against my tongue. The pressure against the back of my throat made my scalp tingle. His dick kept going deeper and I started to gag and I was afraid I would get sick, but he held me in place telling me I'd get used to it. It seemed like forever, but I did. Jack must have realized it because he pushed himself deeper and asked if I liked his big cock. Once he was as deep as he could get, he released some pressure and I instinctively pulled back letting my tongue drag along the underside of his dick. When my lips were almost all the way to the tip of his cock, he started to push me back down. We repeated this for a few times until I figured out what he wanted. His cock felt so good in my mouth and it seemed to fit my throat just right. At one point he held my head so just the head of his cock was between my lips. He stood up from the chair, holding my head in place. I realized that he was going to let his dick shoot into my mouth like I shoot on my chest when I beat off. I don't know why, but I tried to pull off his dick but he wouldn't let me. I felt his warm liquid fill my mouth and I didn't know what to do. He put his hand on the front of my throat and told me to swallow his cum, another new word. I did as he told me and I tried to swallow it all but some leaked out of my lips. With his cock still in my mouth, he used his fingers to gather up the cum that was dripping and dragged them back to my mouth, forcing his fingers in my mouth alongside his cock. I licked it off his fingers. He told me I would make a good cocksucker with some more practice. He pulled out of my mouth, wiped the cum that was on the head of his cock along my lips and told me lick it all. He got out of the chair and must have gone to gather his clothes because when he came back into the kitchen he was dressed and I was still on my knees. He said that he would be back tomorrow and that I better have gotten some booze. Then he was gone.
I'm going to go to bed now. I think I'm going to have to beat off before I can go to sleep, I got hard writing this.
Day 15
Last night Jack was waiting at my house when I got home. He must have broken in since I lock all the doors and windows in the house every day to try to keep scavengers out, obviously it wasn't good enough. Several times during the day I saw him and a couple of times he was talking to other men and pointing in my direction.
On the way home I stopped by the TerraCorp store house and picked up my week's food. I took the bottle of amber liquid and the case of beer they always offer me but I've never taken before. Since unlike most of the other workers that stay in dorms close to the field, I had to carry all my supplies to my house. Usually I just have one box but yesterday it was the box and the case. It took me a bit longer to get home since it was awkward and I had to stop and switch arms.
Jack was already showered and sitting in the same kitchen chair when I got home. When he saw that I had gotten booze, he got up from the chair, his semi-hard cock swaying as he moved. He found a glass and poured some of the amber liquor in it and then drank it in one swallow. When he opened a beer he told me to go take a shower and be quick about it. When I came back to the kitchen, I saw that more of the amber liquid was missing from the bottle and he was on his second beer. Since I knew what he wanted, and I knew what I wanted, I got down on my knees but he told me we were going to try something different and had me stand up.
He poured more of the amber liquid and told me to drink it, he called it Whiskey, I hesitated and when I brought it up to my nose, I didn't like how it smelled it. He ordered me to drink it. I started to take a sip but he told me to drink it all at once. When I hesitated again, he took the glass and brought it to my lips, grabbed my cheeks and told me to open up. When my lips were parted, he tipped the glass so that all of the whiskey went into my mouth. It tasted terrible and I wanted to spit it out but he tipped my head back and told me to swallow it. It burned my throat on the way down. When I stopped coughing he handed me a beer and told me to drink it fast. When I was done he told me to lie on my back on the kitchen table. He pulled me toward him until my head was hanging off the table. He slapped my face with his dick as it got harder. He told me to open my mouth and he shoved his cock in. His dick went farther than it had the day before and he said it felt so fucking good. He started making small movements with his cock so that I could feel the head move against the walls of my throat. He told me I must have gotten used to his big cock since I wasn't gagging like I had the day before. He started moving his hips and when he moved them back his cock would almost come all the way out of my mouth and then he would rock forward and it would go deep into my throat again. While he kept going back and forth, he put a hand on the front of my throat and by his comments, it appeared that he enjoyed feeling his cock stretch my throat.
I think it was the combination of my head hanging down and causing blood to rush to my brain combined with booze that made lose track of time, I just remember the constant movement of Jack's dick in my mouth and throat. He yelled out that he was close. He pulled out of my mouth, moved to the side, and raised my head up with one hand while he frantically stroked with the other. He angled his cock so it was aimed at my open mouth and he began to shoot. Some of his cum made it between my lips but most of it shot over my head and landed on the floor. He was angry that I hadn't gotten all of his sperm in my mouth.
Jack walked away from me and poured himself some more of the whiskey and sipped it while he got dressed. I got off the table, grabbed a rag, and cleaned off the floor. When I stood up, he had me take a sip of his whiskey. It burned my raw throat more than before. As he left the house he told me we were going to have fun tomorrow.
That's enough for now. I need to do some chores around the house and get some sleep.
Day 17
I didn't write anything yesterday because Jack never let me out of his sight. Yesterday when I got to the corn field, Jack was waiting. He told me that some of the other men had followed him to my house the other night and saw what we were doing and that they wanted to use me too. He said he told them that I was his bitch, I'm not sure what that means, and that I would only be with another guy if he decided I could. He was never out of eye sight for the rest of the day. I could tell that other men were looking at me and talking among themselves. Jack was as big as, or bigger than, any of the other men and I think they were afraid of him.
When work was done, Jack had me come with him to the dorm where he gathered up some of his things and we carried them to my house. He told me he was going to move in so that I could take care of him and that no other guys bothered me without his okay.
Jack had me take a shower with him. While the water ran over our bodies, he made me take his cock into my mouth again until he filled my mouth with his cum. After we were done, he told me to go downstairs and pour him a drink of the amber liquid. When I got back upstairs he was lying on top of my bed stroking his cock. With his free hand he took the glass and took a big swig before setting it down. He reminded me that he had said we were going to have fun. He told me to straddle his waist. I could feel the heat from his dick against the skin of my ass. He had me spit in his hand and then he rubbed it on his cock. With one hand he held his dick and with the other he moved me around until I felt the head of his cock against my asshole. I didn't know what he was doing but he told me to push down with my body. When I did, his dick started to go inside me. I yelped and tried to pull myself back up but he firmly held me in place and pushed me down. He said there was nothing like a piece of virgin ass, I guess that is what I am.
I could feel the head of his cock push through into my body. Once it had, the pain wasn't so bad. Jack told me to stay still and get used to it. After a minute or two he started pushing me down again. I had never felt anything like that before. Even though it hurt, it also felt good. Jack kept saying things like "shit" and "god damn" until I could tell that he was completely inside of me. He asked me if I liked his big cock in my pussy. I thought a pussy was something a girl had but I said yes. His cock was rubbing against something inside me that made my dick hard, like when I beat off, but I wasn't even touching myself. He told me to pretend like I was riding a horse and to move my ass up and down his cock. At one point on put my hands on his chest, which was as hard as rock, so that I could raise myself higher than if I was just using my thighs. At some point Jack started to raise his ass off of the bed like he was trying to go in deeper as I was lowering myself. Jack kept swearing and moaning. I saw Jack's eyes roll back in his head and then I felt warm liquid inside my ass. When that happened, my dick exploded all over Jack's chest and face. He pushed me off of him and told me to go get something to clean him up. I came back from the bathroom with wet towel and cleaned him up. He said I must really like getting fucked if that happened. I think I do like getting fucked as he called it.
He told me to go downstairs and make something for him to eat and that I should wake him when it was ready. I cooked some supplies, not that I know how to cook that much, and called his name. He came down the stairs, he was naked and scratching his balls. He sat down at the table and ate what I had laid out. He must have eaten twice as much as I did and he said the next time I should make more. When he was done, he told me to go upstairs and get into bed and that he would be there in a minute. He came into the bedroom with a glass of whiskey that he placed on the nightstand. His dick was hard again. He got onto the bed and told me to pull up my legs and hold them close to my chest. When I had, he pushed his cock back inside me. I guess the cum that was inside of me made it easier this time because he slid in easily. He had reached between my arms and legs and had his hands on either side of my neck. He was using his body this time to control all the movement. I started pushing back when he pushed forward. He said he was right, I did like cock, just like he had told the men at work. It was a different sensation and I liked it just as much as when I had been riding his cock. I liked how his weight was pressed against me. When he filled me again with his cum, I shot off again, but this time on my chest. When he pulled his dick out of me, he wiped it on the back of my legs and then told me to go clean myself up. When I had and was walking back into the bedroom, he told me to go find somewhere else to sleep, that it was his bedroom now. Even though I hadn't cleaned it in a while, I went into my parents' bedroom and went to sleep on their bed.
When I woke the next morning, Jack was already up. When I came into the living room, he was doing the kind of things that we used to do in gym class at school. He did a couple different kinds of pushups and sit ups. He even did a thing where he put his hands behind himself onto a chair and raised and lowered his whole body. I couldn't help but watch his various muscles expand and contract. I think he liked the attention. When he was done he told me to make some breakfast while he got dressed. He ate everything I had made so I had to make some more for myself.
At work today, he spent more time talking to different men than doing work. There seemed to be a lot less men working today than there had been yesterday. When the supervisor tried to talk to Jack, he got right up to his face and said something and then the supervisor went away. When we were all having lunch, I heard some of the men talking about how some nomads came though the town last night and made almost all the women and children come with them and that some of the men had been killed when they tried to stop them. They also said that a large group of men followed the nomads and that the town was pretty much empty.
Tonight when Jack and I got back to the house, instead of putting his cock in my mouth or ass, he had me make some dinner. While I was cleaning up, two guys from work showed up at the house. Jack talked to them at the door for a while before letting them in. They each had brought some whiskey so the three of them sat in the living room drinking right out of the bottles. Jack told me it was time for me to get to work. I didn't understand what he meant until I saw the men pull their dicks out of their pants while Jack did the same. I got on my knees in front of Jack but he directed to one of the other men. The man's cock was different than Jack's. It was a little shorter but it had a much bigger head. I had to open my jaws wider and I couldn't get as much down my throat as I could with Jack. Soon my mouth was filled with the man's sperm and he seemed happy when I swallowed it. I did the same for the next man, whose cock was longer but much thinner than Jack's. It was a lot easier to take the man in my throat. Jack didn't have me take care of him but said I'd get a treat in a while. After a few more swigs of whiskey the two men left and Jack and I went up to my bedroom, I guess it was Jack's bedroom now. He had me lie on my stomach this time. He put a pillow under my waist. He pulled my ass cheeks apart and I jumped when I heard him spit and felt the blob land on my hole. He put his dick in the crack and ran it up and down until it got slick and then he pushed it into me. He was faster and rougher than he had been before but it still made me feel good. Just before he shot his cum into me, he put his mouth against my ear and said while he may have me take care of some other cocks that I better remember that his is the most important. When he was done, he rolled off me and feel asleep.
I grabbed this book from the top of the dresser and took it into my parents' room to write about the last two days. I'm going to get some sleep now.
Day 25
Jack is gone. For the last 8 days my life has taken on a new routine. While before Jack, it had been get up, go to the corn field, come home, go to bed, get up. Since Jack became a part of my life it's been get up, feed Jack, go to work, come home, feed Jack, service 2 or more of Jack's friends, get fucked my Jack, got to bed, get up. That's why I haven't written much lately, I've been too busy or too tired. Today changed all that.
As usual, Jack and I left for work after some breakfast. Again there seemed to be less men at work. I saw Jack talking to the supervisor and then I didn't see him for the rest of the day. At lunch, the supervisor told us that TerraCorp was shutting down the corn field today. The last of the corn that had been harvested was going to be loaded on cargo transports later today and taken to the space port near the old city of Chicago. The field would be burned tomorrow and TerraCorp was going to start drilling for oil on the site. It seems one of the last pockets of oil left in North America is actually under Central Illinois. We were told that those of us with the right skills would be hired to work on the drilling. For those of us who didn't, we would be given an amount of credits equal to what would have been the value of a months' supplies plus a ticket that could be used to go anywhere that local transports went. Local transports only traveled to a few of the cities and towns that were still occupied that had supplies delivered by TerraCorp.
At the end of the day, we all went to the TerraCorp store house and received our credits and travel voucher. I wasn't offered a new job. I still hadn't seen Jack so I walked home alone. When I got to the house, there was a notice attached to the door that said the house was the property of TerraCorp and that it was going to be demolished because it was on the site of the new refinery that was going to be built. When I went into the house, what little Jack had brought from the dorm was gone plus some of my parents' stuff that had trade value. I sat down on the couch and put my head in my hands. I have no idea what I'm going to do.
I finally got up and ate something and then there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, there were two of the men that had visited after Jack had moved in. They each handed me a bill worth 20 credits. When I asked them why, they told me that's what they had given Jack to get blow jobs from me. I must have had a confused look on my face because they told me that Jack had been using me. Using me not just for his own pleasure but to make credits. Since he moved in with me, he didn't have to use any credits for the dorm; he didn't have to use his food allowance so he got it in credits; and that he made at least 10 credits for every guy who got to stick their cocks down my throat. They told me that he had used the credits he had saved to bribe someone at TerraCorp to get him on a colony ship. They even said that they were sure that one of the guys that I had taken care of was that TerraCorp person.
I let each of them men use my mouth and throat. Again, I was reminded how each cock I had tasted and felt were different. It also made me think that regardless of the dick, it was my mouth and my ass that gave them pleasure. When I had finished off both men, I gave them back their credits and thanked them for helping me realize something. They both gave me a look like they didn't understand what I'd just said. They asked me since they were hired on for the drilling operation if they could come back. I told them that TerraCorp was tearing down my house and I didn't know where I would be even though I knew I'd be gone.
Before I go to bed, I'm going to pack up some of my things, including pictures of my family, so that I can leave at first light. I'm going to use my travel voucher to get as far away from Central Illinois as I can. If anyone is going to make credits or get ahead from my mouth and ass, it's going to be me.
I don't think Jack even knew my name but I'll never forget Jack. In just two weeks, he had changed me from a boy that was living day to day just trying to survive to a man who was going to create his own destiny.
Day 28

Are c-stores effectively using the Web as a marketing tool? CSNews talks to experts who evaluate retailer Web sitesBy D. Gail Fleenor
The Internet has become a powerful and accepted way to reach consumers, and companies both large and small are offering Web sites packed with information, specials and online shopping. But while the convenience store industry has joined this high-tech quest for shoppers, are they communicating successfully online? Are c-store Web sites effectively marketing to current and potential customers? And does online shopping work on c-store Web sites, or is it an unnecessary service?
To answer these questions, Convenience Store News examined a sample of c-store Web sites and asked Internet consultants to tell us what works on these sites from the consumer's point of view, and what does not. Our Web experts also provided suggestions for improving the Web sites, as well as online shopping.
Consultants for this article include:
-- Lauren Freedman, president of The E-tailing Group, a shopper-centric, e-commerce consulting firm based in Chicago; and Kylee Magno, senior analyst at The E-tailing Group.
-- Tamara Adlin, founder/principal of Adlin Inc., a customer experience consulting company located in Seattle, and co-author of "The Persona Lifecycle: Keeping People in Mind Throughout Product Design."
The following list of c-store sites, in alphabetical order, includes a description of the Web site along with the consultant comments:
BP America Inc., ampm
www.ampm.com Part of BP America, based in La Palma, Calif., the ampm Web site offers humor, games, trivia and information. A tab at the top of the page called "Play Room" leads to two games -- "What's The Deal" features the latest specials, while "Get To Know ampm" includes trivia, nutrition and "Talk To Us," which wasn't working at presstime. Follow the "Food and Drink" tab to "Coffee" and read "Morning Ritual" for a laugh, and "Fountain" includes a mixology of fountain drink recipes.
Tamara Adlin: "The navigation is good and simple. This is a nice, clean, basic site. It works."
E-Z Mart Stores Inc.
www.ezmart.com Texarkana, Texas-based E-Z Mart's home page opens with animation, showing an E-Z Mart store open during the day and then surrounded by night. The more than 300-unit chain's page includes "What's New," displaying photos of its new store design and image upgrade. Click on "Virtual Store" and browse an E-Z Mart interior.
Adlin: "This site includes value propositions and differentiators (why it's worth a customer's time to come to your site, and how your site offers unique experiences, products, etc.) on the first page, which is great."
Kwik Trip Inc.
www.kwiktrip.com Based in La Crosse, Wis., Kwik Trip's home page featuring a free doughnut with coffee special, at presstime. "The Kids Club" tab leads to pictures for kids to color and information on the Milk Moover's Kids Club. At "Just 4 You," visitors can register for mailings and download coupons. "Eats & Drinks" includes nutritional information, a milk tour of Kwik Trip's dairy and Kwik N' Lows -- items "priced as low as the grocery store every day." Additionally, Kwik Trip's online shopping features gas and gift cards, and car wash coupon books. Contact information includes e-mail addresses for employees in all areas of the company, from bakery to Web site errors.
Lauren Freedman/Kylee Magno: "Excellent front-and-center promotion of convenience store offerings. Well- branded and the Web site has a clean, easy-to-navigate format."
7-Eleven Inc.
www.7-eleven.com The home page of the largest convenience store chain features a photo of 7-Eleven's new "Chicken Bite," at presstime. The site's store locator allows potential customers to select options, such as gas, check cashing and money orders to see which stores offer these services. Also, a tab for products and services includes food-to-go options and a complete line of beverages. Lottery results are also available, as well as information on new items.
Adlin: "7-Eleven is a huge brand and, therefore, I had big expectations . . . the site is mostly corporate."
Sheetz Inc.
www.sheetz.com Sheetz, based in Altoona, Pa., has a fun site with interesting animation and bright colors. The home page always features a special, such as the "Chick Magnet" (a grilled chicken sub). Categories to click on include, "What's a Sheetz?" "Specialty Coffeez?" and "Made-to-Order Food," which includes a takeout menu, nutritional information and a fax menu. Changing spots along the bottom of the home page direct consumers to shop online for gift cards; join Sheetz's mailing list; deli specials; the Sheetz credit card; a travel planner, featuring driving directions; and "How do you overflow into our world?" When clicking on this last option, another Web page opens, showing a place to "log in, upload and interact." Geared toward teens and early 20-somethings, the page offers videos and photos uploaded from Web visitors. The page also will offer music, games and e-cards, all of which were under construction at presstime.
Adlin: "This is a busy site, but it has a clear personality and point of view. I like this site. It's chaotic and fun. There are some nice calls to action [spots to click on], and it does a good job of fulfilling the needs of consumers: locations, jobs, nutrition, etc. The navigation was clearly well-planned and the branding is right on."
Speedway SuperAmerica
www.speedway.com Speedway, based in Springfield, Ohio, offers a home page that featured a summertime "Gas Rollback" promotion at the time of this writing, as well as its Speedy Rewards credit card and Speedway SuperAmerica's food and drink. Speedy Rewards members can register online and access point balances. Visitors can easily check gas prices from Speedway's home page. The site offers an online gas price promise stating prices are as accurate as possible, updated every 30 minutes, seven days a week. The food and drink tab on the home page leads to a listing of "clubs," such as the beverage club, pizza club and milk gallon club -- some of which are tied to the rewards program.
Freedman/Magno: "Promotion of money-saving offers, co-branded credit card, a way to check local gas prices, Speedy Rewards Club -- all are effective."
Tedeschi Food Shops Inc.
www.tedeschifoodshops.com Tedeschi Food Shops, based in Rockland, Mass., welcomes visitors to its Web site with a message from Charlie Fitzgibbons, president and CEO. A special is also featured on the home page. The "Products For You" tab leads to a page of options including Tedeschi Select, where a click of the mouse leads to a full listing of the chain's private-label products. Also on the products page are links to Tedeschi's Deli, which gives locations and a menu, new products, energizing products, Green Mountain Coffee and lottery links. "What's On Sale" includes an up-to-date ad, and a store locator steers visitors to Tedeschi Food Shop, L'il Peach or Store 24 locations with a map, hours and store features, such as a deli or coffee bar.
Adlin: "Nice site. Very well-branded and inviting! Also, the links are totally arranged around the customer and what they would be interested in, and they are worded in the customer's language [such as 'where to find us' vs. 'store locations']. The navigation is good and simple, and the design is clean and inviting. The site follows through on its 'promises.' I get what I expect to get from the links."
Valero Energy Corp.
www.valero.com As with most Big Oil home pages, the stores of San Antonio-based Valero share the site with corporate, safety, environment and other information about the oil company. A click on the "Our Stores" tab leads to a store locator, promotions, and gift and fuel cards.
The online store tab redirects visitors to the Valero Specialty Shop site, which offers products ranging from apparel, sports gear, sale items and gifts less than $10, all with the Valero logo. Store gift certificates are available, and a link takes the customer to a list of Valero stores where products are displayed. Checkout, order history and tracking are typical of online sales sites.
Freedman/Magno: "The site has effective information about the environmental awareness of Valero and community works."
Wawa Inc.
www.wawa.com Pennsylvania-based Wawa's home page features a fountain/deli special with links below to hoagie fundraising, the Wawa credit card and job opportunities. "Nutritional information" for deli items and beverages allows customers to build their own meal and get total calories, fat and other diet information. The "Food Choices" tab includes information on bakery, coffee, wraps, party platters, ready when you are (premade) items and Wawa's new hot-to-go bowls. "Cool merchandise" leads visitors to Wawa toy trucks, novelties and gift cards, which can be purchased online. Customers can look up gift card balances online, and for those who don't already know, the Web site explains the "Wawa" name (a Lenni Lenape Indian word for the Canada goose, found in the Delaware Valley and emblazoned on the corporate logo).
Adlin: "The 'Shop Online' tab gives a hint as to the kind of merchandise available in the online store (trucks, gift cards, etc.) -- well done."
Wilson Farms Neighborhood Stores
www.wilsonfarms.com The home page for Wilson Farms Neighborhood Stores, Sugarcreek Stores and Wilson Farms Xpress, based in Williamsville, N.Y., features a breakfast combo of coffee and a sandwich as of this writing. The "What's in Store" tab includes descriptions of departments, items and services, as well as nutritional information.
"Today's Specials" has a copy of the chain's latest ad. Visitors can click "Shop Online" to order Wilson Farms coffee, fruit baskets and gift packs. Online checkout is similar to other shopping Web sites.
Freedman/Magno: "Great marketing of the store. Specials are front and center. Nice branding messages. The images make you want to run out and buy a coffee and doughnut. Pricing is bold and attention-getting. 'Join our Mailing List' encourages signups. The home page is busy, yet clean and legible."
Room for Improvement
C-stores need to provide customers with more specific information about their stores, according to the consultants, whose comments ranged from "Doesn't highlight store assortment," to "There's no photo of the storefront or banner." This need for more information is part of effective marketing, something many of these Web sites lack, according to consultant comments such as, "I'm not sure what this site is marketing or to whom," and "It doesn't promote the store effectively."
Some areas in need of improvement concerned site construction or design, as shown in these comments:
-- "The main section of the home page is not clickable, so there's no call to action."
-- "The signup process is cumbersome and requires too many mouse clicks."
-- "All links go to the same page, so there's nothing to make me want to return to the site."
Some sites are not updated often enough, the consultants said, while others had "broken promises," such as, "The Lotto link doesn't work, the specials page doesn't work, and there's no explanation as to why, such as 'Under Construction' or 'Coming Soon.'"
Only a few of the sites in the sample offered online shopping and -- with the exception of Valero's Specialty Shop -- offered few items, which prompted consultant comments about lack of selection. Other comments included:
-- "There's not enough information about the products for sale."
-- "The site has only a very basic checkout."
-- "Rough store design."
If, as Adlin said, "A Web site is like a conversation with your customer. It's the same as when someone walks into your store," many convenience stores can greet their customers in a more effective way than they are currently doing with their Web sites.

The She – Power in The Modi led BJP Government
Sushma Swaraj became the second woman External Affairs Minister, in yet another first for the 62-year-old BJP leader. Indira Gandhi became the External Affairs Minister for the first time in 1967 and then again in 1984.

What type of man do you dig?
My man has to be anything between Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt.
Is there someone who fits the bill of your ideal man?
Somebody who is playful, fun-loving, energetic and lives life for the moment. He should be ambitious because I don"t want both of us to sit unemployed. I think its all in Justin Timberlake. May be he will come to me one day(smiles).
Your favorite romantic get away would be.
It could be any isolated island.
Do you believe that men are from Mars and women from Venus?
No, I don"t believe that they are from different worlds altogether. I don"t really know about Mars and Venus because I have never been there!
Which man inspires you the most?
I think some one like Amitabh Bacchhan. He is a perfect gentleman.
If given a chance to date a historical character who would he be and why?
It would be someone like Jim Morrison. I just want to know what it would be to live the life of a rock star"s girlfriend.
Do you believe in one night stand or commitment?
I think whatever one is comfortable with.
Can a man and a woman have a platonic relationship?
Of course they can. I have so many.

Your first crush?
My first boyfriend John.
Your take on the institution of marriage from the point of view of you being a single woman?

Do you believe that marriages are made in heaven?
No, I believe you can try and make them as good as heaven. But you know you have to work on them because nothing comes easy in any way.
What would you do if your man is found to be a gay?
If my man turns out to be a gay; I wouldn"t blame myself because that could be really cruel. See it"s not a disease. It"s natural in our bodies and is all because of hormonal imbalance. So if he suddenly realizes he is a gay I won"t criticize or abuse him. Hopefully we will become best of friends.

I don"t like brawny but I like men with good bodies.

I went out on a first date with this guy a few days ago, he texted me since but hasn't asked me out. During the date he said he would like to go out again but since he only texted (I replied to most of his texts but not all) and he hasn't asked me out yet. I would like to see him a second time but don't wanna ask him out or text him first, sounds stupid but that's the way I am, I'm too afraid of getting rejected. Do you think he is stringing me along or could the reason be that he hasn't asked me out again?

After 130 dolphins were found washed up on the northern Breton coastline, dozens of police officers, firefighters and volunteers worked frantically to dislodge the 90 that had not already died. The discovery brings to around 500 the number of dolphins washed up on the stretch of coast near St.-Brieuc so far this year -- more than double the 200 normally reported in an entire year, according to the Marine Mammal Research Center in the port of La Rochelle. Many dolphins found earlier had injuries on their flippers and tails, which supported the widely held theory that the animals are victims of trawler nets. But experts note that for the last decade or so, large numbers of dead dolphins have periodically washed up over distinct two- to four-week periods. Similar events have been recorded on the coasts of southwestern England and Ireland.Continue reading the main story

Most Helpful Girl
It can look good on the right faces.11|00|0
It can look good on the right faces.
Have an opinion?
I know a few too many girls who have tried it and failed... it makes you look too young I think... But I do know a few who pull it off really well, but it is very slim.
I usually don't like bangs but sometimes it could be cute on some girls when the rest of their is pulled back
Like Katy Perry wears it sometimes
I voted C, because...
This is attractive:
This is not:
If its the type of bangs that brush off to one side, it is SUPER hot. My favorit haircut on a girl in fact. But if she has straight, short bangs that cover her whole forehead, it is seriously unnattractive.
Why? The second girl is sooooo pretty.
@Idkwtftoputhete Ik she is, but i have a little obsession with women's hair, and i really don't like her hair.
But something like the first pic is... sooooooo hawt 😍😘
It depends on the face and hair
Always hits
I like them - You do a lot with most hair, doesn't have to be same style every day.
Anything where a woman puts on something fake its a turn off. Cause that shows you are not confident and that your hiding things about yourself.
I don't like them.
They look dorky most of the time.
It really just depends. They usually look good if they are the right length and the girl's facial structure is complimented by the shape. I love bangs, but a lot of people go wrong by cutting them too short.
I hate them on myself. I give in and try for a while but man, what a nightmare when they are growing back out :(
I like them on young girls (kids) as they are very simple and clean (bangs, not kids lol).
Depends. I've always really liked bangs like
Though even those I'm really picky about. To me those only look good if there's no gaps, or not too close to the eyes.
And I don't really like side unless it looks like
basically, bangs are pretty difficult for me to like, so i ended up just cutting mine off.. >__>
It depends. Some people look good with bangs and some people look better without. It also depends on the style and length of bang.
Bangs typically suit people with big foreheads.
U should petition for it to be a universal law
both! side swept bangs are usually always a hit.. but regular bangs.. usually a miss in my opinion, but to each his own! :)
This ^
It really does depend. Women who have large foreheads will definitely look better with bands. Women who have very tall or very short faces will not look good with bangs.
In America they're fine, but in the UK they hurt
I hate bangs.
I nearly hate side swept bangs while regular bangs look cute on some girls so it depends
Really? For me its the other way around. I LOOOVE side swept bangs ❤
I guess it changes from person to person but yeah thats what i think
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.
