Missy Raines & The New Hip to play at Hoedown On The Harpeth Oct 14, 2016
We couldn't be more excited to be part of the inaugural Hoedown On The Harpeth in Kingston Springs, TN on Friday, October 14th. The festival is conveniently located just 20 miles west of Nashville on the Hayshed Farm. For more information about the festival click here. Discounted tickets are now on sell. Venue address: Hayshed Farms, 1514 W Kingston Springs Rd, Kingston Springs, TN 37082
This festival has a unique mission. Hoedown On The Harpeth will showcase bluegrass, old time, western swing, classic country, & honky-tonkin', acoustic music from Nashville's many local artists as well as guest artists from around the world. Our purpose is to honor the history and experience of country music, from the sound of the old-time fiddle on the front porch to the inception of the Grand Ole Opry and on to the "Bakersfield Sound". Country music legends such as Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Sr., Lefty Frizzell, Bob Wills, and Bill Monroe – to name a few – spent their lives loving and playing music for all of us to enjoy; therefore, we submit that the original sounds of such pioneers of country music be celebrated for purposes of preservation, growth, and most importantly appreciation by fans and musicians alike. Hoedown On The Harpeth will be more than just a festival; it will be an entire experience.

I was moving a Spiceworks installation along with a few other server based applications and noticed an odd alert when deleting the old server from Spicework's inventory. Spiceworks told me,
"You should not under any circumstances shutdown or restart Spiceworks while this is happening. Otherwise, bad things will happen."
"Do not continue if this makes you nervous."
I understand it's never a good idea to shut down a server without halting services but this was odd. Are SW agents going to show up at my office like agents from The Matrix and terminate my EULA? or will it really destroy the Spiceworks installation? Should I backup my SW system files before I delete anything?
Not trying to over complicate this point. I just wanted to understand the ramifications of the server abruptly stopping while an asset is being removed from the inventory.

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. — Want to make your neighbourhood friendlier? Consider adding a front-yard patio ... some pavers, a few plants, a couple of comfy chairs — and, voilà! — instant summer socializing.

That's the way it seems to be working in one St. Louis Park neighbourhood, Minikahda Vista, where front-yard patios have become contagious in recent years.

Beth and Gerry Gunderson added one in 2015, inspired by a neighbour's new patio a block away. "We just loved it!" recalled Beth, whose enthusiasm for entertaining has earned the couple a nickname: the Fundersons. "I walked home and said, 'Let's do it here.'"

Last year, the Gundersons' next-door neighbours, Bobbi and Mike Deeney, also added a front patio. "We used to have chairs on the grass," said Bobbi, an avid gardener. "But it was hard to move them to mow. Now there's less to mow — and more for me to plant."

Just a few months later, Mary and Trent Steffy added their own front patio, inspired by the two across the street. "We needed to redo our front landscape, anyway — it was overgrown," said Mary. And as a teacher who relishes her summers off, she was eager to create another outdoor space to enjoy. "I try to spend as much time outside as possible — I literally bring my laundry out and fold it!"

Backyard patios — secluded and private — have long been the norm, but upfront patios are currently trending, according to Diana Grundeen, owner of Trio Landscaping, the Minneapolis firm that designed and installed both the Gundersons' and Deeneys' patios.

"We have been doing more front-yard projects. They're more social," she said.

That nostalgia for old-fashioned neighbourliness also has fuelled the revival of the front porch in recent years. "But not everybody's architecture lends itself to a front porch," Grundeen noted.

A front-yard patio creates an easy, natural way to mingle with neighbours, said Bobbi, who likes to spend time on hers at the end of the workday when people are coming home. "They walk down the street, sit on the wall, and we'll chit-chat."

Some gatherings even migrate from one patio to another, picking up neighbours as the evening progresses. "My husband likes to start in front," said Bobbi. "Depending how many people we accumulate, we'll move to the back."

In Parkinson's disease, managing orthostatic hypotension improves cognition and balance. Orthostatic hypotension is a form of low blood pressure that occurs when going from a sitting or lying position to a standing one. It's commonly found in Parkinson's disease and current recommendations to manage it involve general measures and medications that pose minimum risk or adverse side effects.
It is important to properly manage orthostatic hypotension because it can have implications on cognition and balance. There are both pharmacological and non-pharmacological ways to treat and manage orthostatic hypotension in Parkinson's disease. Non-pharmacological methods include drinking water and salt, which have been shown to increase plasma volume and maintain blood pressure, and wearing compression stockings so the blood does not rush or pool in the legs.
Pharmacological management methods include medications to better control blood pressure, including Fludrocortisone, Midodrine, Droxidopa, Pyridostigmine, Domperidone, and Yohimbine.
Low blood pressure, or hypotension, can commonly occur in Parkinson's disease. Causes of low blood pressure in Parkinson's include changes in bodily positions, exercising, eating, warm and cold weather and even Parkinson's medication.
Low blood pressure occurs when the blood vessels relax and lose their ability to constrict. When there is less fluid in the body circulating blood volume is also less, thus causing blood pressure to drop. Symptoms associated with low blood pressure include dizziness, fainting/near fainting, tiredness, blurry vision and lightheadedness – just to name a few.
Orthostatic hypotension, if unmanaged, can be quite dangerous for Parkinson's disease patients as it can increase injury. Here are some tips to better avoid orthostatic hypotension.
Orthostatic hypotension is diagnosed by reporting the related symptoms to your doctor. This will prompt them to check your blood pressure in sitting, lying and standing positions.
Not all forms of orthostatic hypotension require treatment; if blood pressure drops when standing but no other symptoms are present, it won't require treatment. If symptoms are severe, then a doctor will suggest that treatment take place.
Treatment of orthostatic hypotension involves medication, changes to diet (increasing salt) and examining the medications the patient is currently taking to ensure they are not the cause of the orthostatic hypotension.

A Deering, N.H. family, long-term friends of renowned artist Karl Drerup, has donated a valuable Drerup enamel to PSU. Larry, Pia, and Martha Sunderland presented the large enamel-on-metal piece to PSU Dec. 16. Larry Sunderland said he was impressed with previous exhibits of Drerup's work at the University and felt PSU was the appropriate home.
"It's been sitting hidden away for quite a few years," said Sunderland. "Here is the perfect place, in the gallery named after Karl Drerup, with perhaps the largest single piece that represents a time of his experimentation with enamels. It was made for the 1939-40 World's Fair in New York, and this just seemed to be the ideal resting place."
Karl Drerup was Plymouth State's first art professor and worked at the institution for 20 years before retiring in 1968. He is recognized as one of the world's leading figures in twentieth-century enameling. PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said the Sunderland's gift is impressive.
"I want to thank the Sunderlands for their extraordinary generosity. This piece is spectacular, and having it on display will not only benefit our students, but also everyone who visits this gallery," Steen said. "It gives us an opportunity to teach about Karl Drerup and share the gift of his art."
The Sunderland's connection with Karl Drerup goes back over six decades, starting in Rockville Centre, N.Y. Larry Sunderland's parents befriended Drerup and his wife Gertrude in the late 1930s, when the Drerups first moved to the United States. Their friendship continued after the Drerups moved north to New Hampshire in 1945.
The piece had long been displayed on the wall of Larry Sunderland's father's clothing manufacturing office in New York City, and was preserved only because Larry insisted it be pried from the wall after his father's death. Pia Sunderland said the family could not display it in their home because of its size, but they wanted it exhibited.
"It's the best thing we could have done with it," said Sunderland.
Catherine Amidon, Director of the Karl Drerup gallery, said the piece is significant because it is one of Drerup's earlier enamel-on-metal works and the connection with the World's Fair makes it especially interesting.
"It's a particularly significant piece, because it's a bridge between what he was doing in Europe and what he would later be doing in the United States," Amidon said.
"Stylistically, it has more affinity with his European roots. The technique, however, of using enamel is something that he came to use in the United States. This is when he has just arrived, and he's experimenting. The piece is extraordinary for that reason."
Martha Sunderland, Larry and Pia's daughter, concludes the donation to PSU makes sense for everyone who values Drerup's artistic expertise.
"It's really nice to see it displayed where it's appreciated. It's a good home for it," Sunderland said.

I was going out with a guy from Apr-Aug of '08. We knew from the get go that we would be moving out to the east coast (him - philly Aug, me - NY Nov), so it was agreed from the start it would b a temporary, and later, exclusive relationship.
At first, I wasn't emotionally too invested because 1, I didn't see the point in making it a relationship since we were both going to leave, and 2, the fact that he only split from his ex roughly 2 months prior to us going out wasn't sitting well with me. He pursued me really hard for the first month that we were together. As we continued dating, I started to emotionally attach myself to him, I was really happy. Fun time together, lots of laughs, we were compatible, he was so attentive and thoughtful, I started to believe how could we not try this out when we both move out east?
But during the few weeks leading up to his departure, I saw the shift in his behavior. I felt like he lost interest in me. The way he looked at me was different. Not shocking, but still surprised me , I revealed I wanted to try it out when we both move out east...he didn't. I was horribly disappointed, but my pride wouldn't let me be upset, so I pretended it didn't bothered me as much. We talked about visiting each other.
He first moved to Philly in Aug, and then I moved to NY in Nov. When he first left, it was emotionally hard for me back at home. Our communication was infrequent, maybe once a week via e-mail or aim. He sent me a b-day gift in sept. But everything was different. He addressed me differently. He used to call me his "sunshine" or "hun" and replaced it with "kiddo" or "girl". I was obsessed over the thought, for months, that maybe he started dating someone else (which I later learned he wasn't). I visited him in Philly 1/09, learned he started having feelings for his ex again (they met in Philly '06,before I was in the picture. She actually lives in Mich now). He reached out to her around Oct. and started talking 2 her again, and that was about the time I noticed how distant he was to me. I couldn't pretend anymore then. I actually cried and told him how hard it was for me. He said that when we were together, he largely was over her but now that he's living in Philly, old memories are triggered. I asked him if he ever saw a future with us when we were going out, he said he never had that feeling with me. 2 this day, I'm still a little upset over all this because I was so careful when we were together to not misread any of his actions. Trying not to play the blame game, but his words/actions led me to believe we were on the same page. Now I feel somewhat duped because I feel used, he never got over his ex. It's frustrating knowing he still keeps our album up, but has her in his heart. What's worse is that I'm still not over him.
My big question is will he ever like me again? I'm back home in LA and foolishly hope that when he moves back in 2 yrs, maybe we'll have another shot. When a guy moves on, are there no 2nd chances?
Will he ever like me again?

What Guys Said 1
I don't think there is much of a chance. Two years is a long time to be apart from someone. So much changes in that time frame. Especially if your younger than thirty. I would just try your best to move on. You can't count on it happening, you might miss out on a better guy waiting.00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
There are always second, third, and so many chances a person can rebuild there love for someone again. If he told you he had no feelings for you and used you then he shouldn't even be a guy who you would want to take another chance with. You were basically his rebound and that doesn't sound fair. You definetely should find someone who can trully be real with you and won't use you. Its hard knowing that to them you weren't as much as they were to you. He isn't good for you it sounds like. You should date around and in time you will get over him. I suggest you not to wait around for this guy. He sounds pretty emotionally unstable.00|00|0

- Abstract:
- Terahertz spectroscopy of crystalline and non-crystalline solids is probably one of the most active research fields within the terahertz community. Many potential applications, amongst which spectral recognition is probably one of the most prominent, have significantly stimulated the development of commercial systems and have spurred an increased technical advancement. However, the topic is very complex and multifaceted. Therefore, it is beyond the scope of this chapter to provide a fully comprehensive review of the works performed in this area. We would rather like to demonstrate, based on some selected examples, the potential the technique holds for various different applications. A particular focus will be given to data analysis and, in particular, how we may account for effects resulting from non-ideal sample preparation.

I'm so excited about this because I made a homemade chocolate cake today without knowing! LOL!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far!
I'm swinging by with a very quick and short post as I have it scheduled because I didn't want to take a chance on the recipient seeing this before they get it in their hands tonight! :)
I've made an anniversary card for my parents. They are coming to my house this evening for super and I will be giving this to them as this post comes up:
Vintage Flowers. I have had this set for a while, but this is the first time I've posted something with it on my blog! I knew that this would be something that would make for a nice anniversary card especially for my parents. (They're celebrating 52 years together.) I've not used the "anniversary" sentiment until now either. After stamping the flowers, I took some chalk and rubbed around the images to give a little shadow.
I knew that I wanted to also try out Darnell's NBUS challenge as well. Her challenge for this week was called "Hidden Word" technique. I've seen this done many times and thought it was so cool looking, so I wanted to give it a try! As you can see, I've stamped my panel of flowers and then I took a MFT happy die and cut through the design where I wanted it to show up. I then cut a couple more of them and attached them all onto my card with the stamped one glued on top.
I've also taken the "anniversary" sentiment from the Lawn Fawn set called Sophie's Sentiments and heat embossed it with gold EP over a piece of vellum, cut it out and glued it underneath the sentiment. (At a second look at it, I was thinking it would be better if I left off the "anniversary" and put on the inside with just the hidden word on the front...oh well...I'll remember for next time around!) I rounded the corners with my corner chomper and then I took some gold sequins and attached them on my design and used some gold Stickles in the centers of each one.
Here's a closer view of my design:
I hope you've enjoyed my creation this evening!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back Monday with something different for you!

So my daughter is doing a project at school where they have to make a King Arthur castle out of anything they want.. Guess what she wants to do it in! CAKE[u] Even better, she already volunteered me - and the teacher was very excited - BUT the kids have to do it [i] since it's their grade.
I just have one thing to say: H E L P
I could definitely do it by myself, but how do I help them do it in One Day??
i would make everything in pieces and then gets the kids to 'construct it" in that day. ie. you make the tower and cover the cakes in fondant etc. Then get the kids to help put it all together and let them do the decorating... seeing as that all the kids would be interested in anyway!
Wilton makes a castle kit that would work well. The towers, door, and windows are all made of plastic and you just cover them with fondant or whatever. (Just be careful though, because they towers can fall down easily). That sounds like so much fun!
What about Rice Krispie treats instead of cake?

Renaissance Downtowns is a nationally-renowned and exclusive leader in large-scale unified community-driven downtown revitalization.
Our success in securing $12 billion in downtown development agreements among several communities is centered on our Unified Development Approach (UDA). The UDA is a collaborative, public-private partnership-driven framework that brings together disparate groups of a community to collectively transform their downtown into a vibrant destination, adhering to the triple bottom line of being economically, socially and environmentally beneficial.
At the core is a public-private partnership between the master developer, Renaissance Downtowns, and the local municipality. Surrounding that, a collaborative community of partners becomes an integral part of that core:
- Community of residents and workers passionate about the triple bottom line;
- Entrepreneurs starting either local or global businesses;
- Private property owners finally able to benefit from their under-appreciated assets;
- Local developers willing to work with private property owners or Renaissance;
- Transit agency with shared interest in establishing a transit-oriented downtown as a regional economic hub.
The means by which these partners are committed to such collective impact is through an innovative crowdsourced placemaking program, pioneered by CSPM Group. Crowdsourced placemaking is a process through which partners, stakeholders and advocates positively campaign for what they would most like to see realized in their revitalized downtown, often working collectively to garner the most impact, while adhering to the triple bottom line.
- Triple-Bottom-Line Statement: A written statement committing all participants to the triple bottom line of being economically, socially and environmentally beneficial, responsible and sustainable.
- Crowdsourced Placemaking System: An all-encompassing process that allows stakeholders and the community to collectively shape their own future downtown.
- Community Benefits Agreement: A binding agreement between a municipality, community stakeholders, and developer that mandates local job creation.
- Form-Based Code: City development regulations that foster predictable built results and a high-quality public realm by using physical form rather than separation of uses.
- Local Economy Initiative: An ongoing program to support and prioritize entrepreneurs and local businesses.
- Patient Capital Commitment: Partnering with investors willing to forgo quick profits in anticipation of more substantial returns down the road.

After breakfast, Will, Andy, and I took Will's car over to JC Penny to get measured for the uniforms we would need in order to move the yardage markers at the Friday night football games.
The whole thing had been Will's idea, but I had warmed up to it quickly when I recognized that it meant that I would be hanging out for a couple of hours within breathing distance of all the guys on our high school football team.
Will was my best friend going back to 10th grade in AP English. As the most popular kid in our senior class, the guy who won the majority of the class awards when we voted on them as juniors,
Will was a huge life force at our school.
Now, as 18-year old seniors, we were on top of the school. Will was at the absolute apex of the popularity pyramid, and I was his trusted right hand guy. I enjoyed being the best friend of the guy who was most likely to succeed, who had the best personality, and who was considered the best kisser. It definitely raised my own social rank by the simple association.
Andy on the other hand was this new puzzle in me and Will's life. Or for sure in my life.
With Will, everything was no big deal. He probably didn't even realize that Andy had the greenest eyes on the planet, that Andy had run track since he had been a freshman at his old school in New York, or that Andy was courageous enough to just grab my dick innocently the first five minutes after I'd met him.
Andy had just transferred in as a senior from his high school back east. His family had moved in down the block from Will. And as a complete surprise to me, Will had invited Andy to be our third person moving the yardage and first down markers. My own introduction to Andy had been pretty memorable, particularly the memory about his hand grabbing my engorged cock. With Andy around, I had had quite a morning.
I had my usual morning hard-on and hoped he wouldn't notice but he did, even through the blankets on Will's extra bed.
Later while I was in Will's shower totally aroused from the morning's events and with my dick sticking straight up lathered up with soap,
Andy had barged into the bathroom scaring me to death.
He snatched my towel away so that he got a complete view of my erection. All 8 and one third inches of it. Maybe shrunken down just a little bit from the shock of having to display myself to our new 18-year old friend so I could have my towel back.
Then, if all that wasn't enough. When I walked downstairs to breakfast with Will and his parents and Andy, it became clear to me that Andy had not just walked into the bathroom to ask me what kind of eggs I wanted. We were having French Toast after all. Andy had come into the bathroom just to see me in the shower. That realization made me instantly hard, again.
And though I had not, thank god, come in my shorts for the second time this morning when Andy grabbed my thigh under the breakfast table, it had been very close. I quietly ate my French Toast. Will was oblivious to it all.
So sitting shot gun in the front seat of Will's Honda, my weenie had had quite a morning. Now we were going to a fitting for crissakes.
What next? I suppose we were all going to have to share a fitting room!
In the Penny's men's department, the three of us mens tried to find somebody to help us. There was supposed to be a pre-selected uniform for us that we just needed to try on. Once we were sure the uniform was going to work, we left our names and once the school arranged payment we could come back to pick it up. Nobody seemed to be around who knew anything about anything though.
'I guess we'll have to just help ourselves,' Andy said, while Will walked way across the store to try and get somebody who knew what they were doing.
'Yeah, I guess, but no funny business from you Mister,' I smiled. The memory of Andy's hand on my hard dick separated only by the blankets on Will's bed was fresh in my mind.
Pointing at his chest with both hands, Andy gave me a sheepish 'What? Me?' look and turned to examine a rack of belts. I scanned the floor to try and find Will but he was nowhere in sight.
Thwack! My ass exploded in pain.
I turned around startled to see Andy holding a long brown belt and wearing a huge grin.
'Jesus, Andy, what the fuck are you doing? That really hurt,' I moaned.
'Please,' he said, laughing and cocking his right arm with the belt again. 'It can't possibly be the first time you've been whipped with a belt.'
'Well, no, but not in Penny's.' I said with a grin, now trying to shrug it off as no big deal.
The pain was searing into my flesh and seemed like it was radiating all the way from back to front. Putting my arms up to prevent any further attacks, I smiled and walked toward Andy. I grabbed at the belt in his hand and he let it fall and took off down the linoleum floor between departments with me in hot pursuit.
Andy ran at not quite full speed since there were people with shopping bags in the aisles. He was laughing so loud that everybody turned to look.
After he dashed in and out of the sock department and dove behind a big table of ties. I easily caught him and wrestled him to the floor. Once there, I had absolutely no idea what to do with him so I put him in a head lock that he easily wriggled out of. As one, we banged into the sale tie table and a few from the edges fell onto my back. Andy was on his back on the ground and I was on top of him trying to pull his shirt off.
I could see the clean smoothness of his skin on his back and smell the soap he used to wash with. Dial? Zest? As both of us screeched with the giggles, he struggled to try and rip my shirt off as well. Since I remained on top, I used the force of my body to pin one arm, kept tugging on Andy's shirt with the other, and then used my second arm to force his hands to the ground.
Just as I nearly had his shirt up around his neck, his hand got free and grabbed fiercely for the belt loop on the back of my pants. Pulling up as hard as he could, the raw strip of my butt where Andy had struck me with the belt seemed to light on fire again and I yelped.
Andy stopped pulling on my pants and looked at my face. Our eyes were about 6 inches apart, both of us breathing heavily. Jeez! He had the greenest eyes I had ever seen. Locked together, we both froze, simply enjoying the closeness of our faces, our breath merging. Our chests heaved together and I could feel skin on skin near my belly button where we both had raised shirts. We cracked up and I rolled off of him.
The feel of Andy's bare skin against mine was intoxicating and I felt my dick start to swell. I had never been quite so close to anybody like this ever before. I wondered what it would be like to feel all of Andy naked against me.
'Don't let me interrupt, guys.' It was Will. He was standing there with a sales lady from Penny's.
I rolled off of Andy and struggled to my feet. Andy just kept laying on the ground on his back.
'Well bro,' he said, I see you found the little lady who is going to help us get decked out for the football games. Little TJ and I were just passing the time while you went on your search,' he added, with a nod to me now standing up straight. I shoved my hands in my pockets to hide what had now become the humiliating outline of my fully erect cock.
Will looked over at me and smiled. 'I can see that the 3 of us are going to get along great.'
Andy laughed and held out a hand to me to lift him off the floor. I obliged as Will introduced Evelyn who seemed to know what we needed and could help us out.
'I'm afraid that the jumpers you boys need are actually not here in the Men's Department. They are downstairs on the basement level in Tools.'
'Jumpers?' I asked, not really sure what it was.
'Tools?' Will asked.
'What exactly is a jumper, Miss?' Andy directed his question at Evelyn.
Evelyn smiled. It's just a one-piece suit that a lot of workmen wear. It's designed to keep you warm and minimize any bulges or extra folds that might get caught on heavy machinery.'
Subconsciously I grabbed the head of my dick to protect it further. I am certain I blushed.
Andy looked from my crotch to my face and cracked up.
'Bulges or extra folds?!' he laughed.
'Um hmm,' Evelyn responded and pivoted to walk toward the escalator for our trip down to the basement. We followed closely behind her. I kept my hands in my pockets though it was softening a little bit.
Evelyn walked us over to a back corner of the tool department, tucked in behind a huge display of chain saws and table saws that had been patterned into a ghoulishly shaped tree.
'Who's first?' Evelyn asked cheerfully holding up a bright orange jumper.
'Yecch!' Andy said. What is that thing? Is that really 100% polyester?'
'Shouldn't these have failed some fire code or something?' Will added, with a giggle.
'Okay boys. Let's just get this over with.' Evelyn ignored both Andy and Will's comments. 'This one is a large. I'm thinking you should go try this on.' She pointed at Will.
Ever the pleaser, Will took the hideous orange suit from her and complied with the demand.
'Where is a changing room,' Will asked.
'Boys, this is the Tool Department. We don't have a changing room. You can either walk through the store back up to the Men's Department or you can use the janitor closet right over there.' She pointed to a door next to a stack of boxed vacuum cleaners.
'Will smiled. ' I guess it's the janitor's closet' He followed Evelyn to the indicated door and slipped inside. Evelyn walked back to Andy and I with 2 more jumpers in her hand.
'Medium, medium,' she said handing each of us one more off the rack. 'And they're supposed to fit snug. You don't want those extra , you know.'
'Bulges or folds,' both Andy and I said in unison. We laughed again.
'And no more tomfoolery,' she admonished us.
'Tomfoolery?' Andy and I giggled to each other.
While we waited for Will to try on his jumper, the lovely Evelyn walked away to speak to one of her colleagues over by the register and Andy and I found ourselves alone. Yet again.
'I don't imagine these orange popsicle suits are going to cover that dick of yours. Especially if you keep getting a woody like you've had all morning,'
'Gimme a fucking break, dude,' I shot back, embarrassed again by the plain talk. Will never spoke to me like this, so why all of a sudden was Andy doing it. I mean, he was practically a stranger. Not that I didn't want him to of course.
Andy was relentless, ever the New Yorker. 'So you were hard when I walked into Will's room this morning, just lying there in bed in all your glory. You were hard in the shower when I caught you whacking it. You popped another one in the car as we were driving over here. And here we are again, in the tool section of America's favorite department store and there you are again. Does it ever go soft?' Andy pointed at my hands which had subconsciously dove back into my pockets.
'Dude,' I tried to explain.
'Dude nothing,' Andy interrupted. 'you're like a horn dog sex maniac.'
I laughed. 'Hardly. I just can't control it.' I stammered.
'Nothing to explain, bro. It happens to all of us. I mean, my god, we're eighteen. At the peak of our sexual prime. I was starting to pop one myself when you were grinding your pelvis into mine on the floor upstairs.'
'I was not grinding my pelvis into yours,' I protested.
Andy just smiled. Will came out of the janitor's closet with a huge grin on his face.
'Okay gents. Your turn. I don't know if I can ever really wear this in public. But it does fit.'
'What do you mean, it fits?' I asked stupidly.
He looked at me. 'It fits,' he said again. 'Just leave it at that. It's not something that anybody should ever have to wear unless you're going moose hunting or something. It's like incredibly bright orange.'
'Okay, here goes,' Andy said. He walked off to the janitor's closet and closed the door.
Will and I talked about how much abuse we were going to take from the football guys in these outfits. I was still moaning and complaining that it wasn't right when Andy came out with his jumper over his arm and a still bigger smile on his face. The contrast of those green emerald eyes against the neon orange of the polyester was a little distracting.
'That was quick,' I said, a little surprised Andy was already finished.
'Fits,' Andy announced.
'Cool,' Will said. 'I'm going to go check out some shoes while you guys finish up. Evelyn said to meet her back upstairs in the Men's Department when we're done. She has the paperwork up there for us to sign.' Will moved toward the escalators and I went into the janitor's closet, carefully shutting the door behind me. With a little concern, I noticed it had no lock. Ah well, Andy was standing guard.
I stripped off my clothes and stood on the cold stone floor in my shorts. I finally had a chance to examine the welt that Andy had given me when he smacked me with the belt. Looking over my shoulder at my white ass, the view wasn't a great one but there was a red stripe across my buttocks about two inches wide. With a sigh, I rubbed it a little to see if he had broken the skin. When I was pretty sure all was intact and I was not going to be getting blood all over the jumper, I stuck my legs into the holes and wriggled the smooth hot fabric up to my hips.
I wasn't surprised when the door opened and Andy stuck his head in. It had taken him longer than I figured.
'So, how's it going, bro?' he asked. 'Everything working out?'
'Yep. All good,' I answered. I was having trouble tugging the jumper up high enough so that I could get my arms into the holes. Pulling up the legs as high as I could, I gave one final urgent yank and then heard a rip.
I froze and Andy's mouth opened as we both looked at each other.
'Uh oh,' Andy said.
'Uh oh,' I echoed. 'Here, help me pull this up,'
I asked him, handing him one side of the top part to help get over my shoulders.'
'Pretty broad shoulders, dude, I don't know that we're going to make it.'
Breathless, I said, 'We'll make it,' I said, having gotten one arm into the arm hole. 'If I can just get...'
'Maybe you should take off your tighty whities bro, that would give you some extra room.' Andy smiled.
'You'd really like that I think,' I said.
'Well, you know, whatever it takes.'
Since I hadn't zipped up the jumper in front, my dick and balls were piled up inside my shorts higher than usual and getting squeezed by the bottom of the pants. I jerked the unused sleeve away from him to give it a final shot on my own.
'You've done enough for today, thank you very much,' I said. The memory of his hand on my hard dick while I laid back in Will's bed was still fresh in my mind. I pointed to my butt.
'Ooh, yeah, I bet that stings, Did you check it out? Did it bleed or anything?'
'I don't think so,' I said.
'Well, did you get a good look?'
I looked over my shoulder for a not so clear look at my own red butt. 'I don't know, maybe.'
'Dude, we don't want you bleeding all over this brand new beautiful jumper, do we? Let me check it out for you.'
'This is not going to fit,' I announced, ignoring his comment. I took my one arm out of the hole and began to pull it off my legs when I caught site of the tag. 'Well, no wonder, it's a small.'
'Small bro. Worry not little friend. I will go back out and get you a medium while you stand in this janitor's closet in just your Fruit of the Looms.'
'Jockey,' I said. 'They're Jockey.'
He looked down at my crotch 'Jockey? They fit you good.'
'Yep, they're pretty comf,' I added.
'Huh?' he gave my waistband a snap against my lover abdomen.
'Just go get the fucking bigger size already.'
Andy walked out of the janitor's closet and shut the door. I stood there feeling self-conscious and cold.
He was back in a flash.
'Medium,' he announced. 'this time for real.' I turned away and bent over to pick up the jumper and slip my legs into it first. Hey, but let me check out the damage I did to your butt.'
In an instant, he had my Jockey shorts down around my ankles and his hand on my red welt. He whistled. On the opposite side, my cock sprang free.
'Dude, there's some serious damage to your ass here,' he said
'Do I need Bactine? A doctor?' I asked.
'Bactine, yeah, I guess,' Andy responded. 'Doctor? Well maybe, but that will have to wait.' He spread my ass cheeks to more closely inspect my hole.
'What are you doing now?' I asked. Conscious of his warm hands against my smooth, hairless, buttocks, I was wholly unprepared for the sensation of another human being touching my anus.
Andy let his fingers linger there for a moment before declaring this particular part of my anatomy intact.
'Hmm. I think you're good in the sphincter department. In fact, I'd say very, very good.'
I had no response.
I turned around to face him. My dick was yet again on the rise. My ball sack hung low despite the coldness of the room. I had always been proud of that fact.
Andy's green eyes locked with mine. I reached my arms up to his shoulders, my undershorts around my ankles. I started to move my fact closer to his. Andy responded by doing the same, he had still not looked down to check out my equipment.
I felt a very light touch cup the bottom of my balls. The feeling was out of this world. I shuddered and inched my mouth closer to his lips, the full length of my 8 and one third inches of dick magnetically pulling me toward Andy. This guy I had met only 3 or 4 hours ago.
Andy leaned in so that our chests were touching, my raw skin against his shirt, my cock pointed skyward as I pressed it against the buttons of his jeans. I felt his warm breath on my neck as I gripped him more tightly and I felt a further surge in my rock hard dick. A drop of pre-cum pooled at the opening and I began to be aware of Andy's own erectness confined behind the thin cotton of his cords.
I moved my hands around his back, pulling him closer. He smelled like soap.
Andy moved his hands from side to side on my ass. He spread my cheeks and I felt the JC Penney air conditioning on my asshole. More pre-cum oozed from my penis.
A knock on the door startled us. Andy pulled away and helped me pull my Jockeys up, smearing the liquid from the head of my penis onto his forearm. We both smiled.
'Will?' he answered. 'Is that you? TJ needed a bigger size.'
Yup. Indeed I did. Indeed I did.
Later that day, once we got back from the store doing our fitting for the uniforms we would have to wear, Andy and I decided to go for a run.
I had to go home since I hadn't brought any running stuff over to Will's house.
Andy dropped Will at home and we zipped up to my house. My parents were still not home from my dad's business trip up north, so the house was deserted except for the dog.
I filled her water bowl in the kitchen while Andy went to the bathroom to take a leak. Smiling at the situation I found myself in, I listened to my new friend peeing in our downstairs bathroom before I turned the water on. Pretty strong stream. That means big dick, right?
Man! When it rains it pours!
First Joey Collucci in the locker room at school and now this. If my life kept up on the present course, my virginity would be gone by the end of the week! I wasn't quite sure to who yet, but that was not too important.
After I put the dog's water down on the floor, I waited for Andy to come out of the bathroom so that I could take him upstairs to my room. He seemed like he was taking an awfully long time in there. Could he be...?
I left the kitchen and walked over to the bathroom. Andy was nowhere in sight. He had not flushed the toilet, so I did. My parents expected their high school senior son to be able to flush the toilet and this didn't strike me as an unreasonable expectation.
I walked over to the stairs and looked up.
'Where'd you go?'
Starting to climb up, I had butterflies in my stomach. At the top, there was still no sign of Andy.
'Andy? Are you in my room?'
I walked in and there he was, my running shoes spread out on the floor. He was barefoot and peering inside of an old pair.
'What are you, like a size 5?' Andy looked up at me smiling.
He tossed the shoe at me, hitting me just north of my dick.
'These are not nines, dude. They can't be more than a five. Six max!'
I tackled him, knocking him backward onto his back. He held onto another one of my shoes as I wrestled him to a pin.
'They are nines,' I insisted, slightly out of breath from the exertion of pinning him.
Wriggling free, he quickly had me on my back. He grabbed at my crotch.
'This may be a nine, dude. Not the shoes. Perhaps you're just mixed up,' he grinned. His emerald eyes lit up and locked again with mine.
I tried to break free but Andy kept my chest down with one arm and left his hand on my growing crotch. My cock started to grow.
Honestly! How many hard-ons could I get in one day? I had come once this morning while lying in the extra bed in Will's bedroom.
Andy was unlike anybody I'd ever known. More forward. More aggressive. More of a horn dog than anyone I'd ever met before. I might like this.
'It's not nine inches, Andy,' I said. 'Just eight and a third.'
This cracked him up and he let go. He rolled over onto his back and laughed out loud. I sat up on my elbow and looked at him.
He was gorgeous, I'd have to give him that. He had amazing sandy blond hair and surprisingly dark eyebrows. It made an amazing contrast with his green eyes. Andy's teeth were straight and white. As he laughed, his smile lit up the room. His cords strained against what I imagined lied underneath. He had taken off his shoes and socks and had these big sexy feet. I swallowed hard.
When he stopped laughing at my comment, he rolled up onto one elbow and we found our faces three inches apart. Could this be happening? On the floor of my bedroom?
'Eight and one third inches! Are you sure? It couldn't be eight and a quarter or eight and a half?' Andy looked at me, smiling again.
'Nope. Eight and a third,' I explained matter-of-factly. I looked down at my own groin seeking some sort of validation. 'Exactly.'
Andy put his hand on my chin and lifted my face up so that we were even again.
'Could we measure it again just to be absolutely sure?' he asked.
I pretended to be shocked that he didn't believe me.
'You're kidding, right? You think I'd mess up measuring something as important as my own penis?'
'Well, maybe not. But let's be sure.'
In one slick motion, Andy pushed me back down onto my back and reached for the snap of my jeans.
I lay still and let him remove my pants. My cock was growing and straining out the top elastic band. I looked down at his own pants and was sure I saw his own basket increasing in size.
Within seconds, he had my Jockey shorts off and I lay there naked from the waist down.
Andy sat on his bent knees, his bare feet splayed out to the side. He looked at the shaft of my cock. I was totally hard and the tip reached nearly to my belly button. He smiled and shook his head. 'Do you have a ruler?' he asked.
I thought for a moment.
'In the kitchen in the junk drawer I think.'
'Don't move,' he commanded. Andy leaped up onto his feet and darted out of my bedroom. He padded quickly down the stairs. 'Where exactly is the junk drawer?'
I told him.
'Why exactly are we doing this again?' But he probably didn't hear me. I lay back and
relaxed. Andy was back in less than 30 seconds, ruler in hand.
'Okay, here we go,' he said. He plopped down on his knees with his beautiful emerald eyes fixed on my mid-section.
I grabbed the ruler out of his hand. 'I'll do it, thank you very much,' I said.
He objected. 'Dude! You're not measuring your own pecker. You can't possibly get the angle right. That's why you've got me to help. Give me back the ruler.'
I ignored him and lifted up my dick and placed the ruler beside it. There was still more pre-cum on the end so I wiped it off and held my finger up.
'I'll take that,' Andy said. He grabbed my hand and shoved the finger with the pre-cum into his mouth.
I looked him with surprise. Did he just lick my pre-cum? Oh my god! I was stunned!
'And I'll take that as well,' he grabbed the ruler away before I could object.
Taking my cock in one hand, he held it gently and lay the ruler flush against my pubic hair. He gave the end a little tug to straighten out the curve.
'Hah, what?' I said, looking again into the deep green of his eyes.
'It's eight all right. That's pretty impressive. But I'm not getting that extra one third of an inch dude.'
'I only get eight and a quarter. And if I remember my fractions...'
'Let me see that.'
Andy's hand had pre-cum smeared on it again and he went to lick it, but I grabbed his wrist and forced it closer to my own mouth. For the first time ever, I tasted my own juice. Or at least the early version of it.
'Wow,' Andy's face lit up with teeth. 'That's hot.' He didn't even try to take the ruler back.
With fierce determination, I stretched my dick all the way out to eight and a third inches and showed Andy the place on the ruler.
'See? Eight and a third, buddy boy,' I pronounced.
'Okay, I'm impressed, now get your pants back on. We're still going running, and then we're going to tell Will how well hung his little buddy TJ is.'
I gulped and looked at Andy. He stood up.
'You're not really going to tell Will, are you?'
From the carpet of my bedroom, I looked up.
Behind Andy's head on the ceiling was my poster of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta decked out in black leather from Grease. I smiled up at him.
'You're kidding right? We're gonna measure you next, right?' I asked hopefully.
'Me? No way. We're going running.'
'But...' I protested.
'But nothing. We didn't all the way up here to your house to measure our cocks and waste this beautiful sunshine. We're going running. Then we'll see.'
'TJ! Plenty of time for that later. Now get your pants on, dude.'
I laid there looking up at John Travolta. What would he do in this situation?
My hard-on lay on my lower stomach, sadly neglected. But we had gotten so close... Would I ever have sex with anybody? Ever?
Slowly, I got to my feet. Andy just stood there, his stunning green eyes boring holes through me.
Facing him, my dick finally softened a bit and now pointed straight to the basket between his legs. He noticed and smiled. He bent over and gave the end of my penis a kiss.
Straightening up, his lips were closed. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Here I was standing not half a foot from Andy, this incredibly hot guy in my own bedroom. I was naked from the waste down and this hunk had just kissed my dick. My parents weren't home until tomorrow night. We were both of legal age. In New York. Here. What could not be more perfect about the situation? I should throw him onto my bed and strip his clothes off and lose my virginity right here.
But I didn't.
I walked over to my dresser, dug out some running shorts and pulled them up over my thighs. Andy was frozen in place. Watching me. I threw my shirt into the corner of my room and found a fresh tank top to put on. I sat down on the edge of my bed to put on my socks, then my shoes, the ones Andy had been checking out.
'Size nine, right?'
I looked up from doing my laces. What was he doing to me? 'Yup. Size nine. Why?'
'I'm an eleven,' he announced.
I smiled and looked at his bare feet peeking from beneath the bell bottom of the tight blue cords.
'Yes you are Andy, yes you are. Does that mean...?'
He said nothing, just nodded.
We walked downstairs. I locked the door behind us as we got into his car to go to his house to pick up his running gear.

He said it was the singing that was his biggest challenge.
"Ultimately the song was like six minutes, and the chorus stretched on and on because they kept getting more and more celebrities," Affleck told Entertainment Weekly. "I think one verse was taken out. Which is a good thing: I am not a strong singer. When we're going nose to nose, you'll see - or you'll hear - that I'm not singing in the range I'm supposed to. And I'm not keeping time. I don't think this is going to prove a successful reel for any musicals."
The video, which aired on Kimmel's post-Oscar show and went on to become a YouTube hit, was in response to an equally racy video by Kimmel's girlfriend, comedian Sarah Silverman, about her "affair" with Matt Damon. That video stemmed from a long-running gag on Kimmel's talk show where he always runs out of time before Damon's appearance on the show.

Apparently, Damon's best pal Affleck was a big fan of Silverman's video and was more than happy to participate in the response when Kimmel's producers came calling.
"I have a lot of respect for the group over there - they're really good comedians - so I just committed to it," he said. "Everything I got from them was really funny and made me excited."
The video, which is available on the ABC Web site, also featured cameos by Hollywood A-listers including Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle and Harrison Ford. Affleck said he's a huge fan of Ford's and was thrilled when the rugged actor immediately said yes to the role. Ford had no problems with his scene: pulling up to a light in a convertible next to Affleck and Kimmel's car, and then blowing kisses at the "couple."
"It's the most incongruous moment in the thing because he's the most rugged, masculine guy in the world, and there he is in his West Hollywood outfit blowing kisses," Affleck said.

How does your system help us meet FERPA guidelines?
FERPA or the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is a Federal law that requires schools to obtain written consent when disclosing personally identifiable information from your child's education records.
Under this law, they differentiate between disclosure of private information and what they consider "public" information. From the law: "Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent's prior written consent." You can find more details here on the federal website: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/mndirectoryinfo.html
MySchoolAnywhere comes with a pre-defined process that makes it super easy to have parents confirm their information each year. All you need to do is send out an email directly to the parents and they can opt in or opt out of the system. You can run stats and quickly see who has confirmed and you can resend or remind folks that haven't. We also allow you to choose whether you are an "opt in" or "opt out" school at the time of graduation. See the related article below for further details.

"The Gardiners of Massachusetts" examines late eighteenth-century American political and cultural history through the lives and careers of three men from successive generations of a prominent New England family. Silvester Gardiner, who established the family's fortunes in Boston, was a colonial surgeon, a dedicated Anglican, and a Loyalist. He received his medical training in Britain before setting in Massachusetts, where he became a giant in the drugs trade. In the mid-eighteenth century, as a director of the Kennebeck Company, he acquired vast landholdings in what became the state of Maine. At the end of the Revolution, when Silvester's estates were in jeopardy, his son John returned to his native New England after a long absence. Fully at case within the British Atlantic Empire, John relied on his knowledge of imperial administration and on his connections at Whitehall and Westminster to enhance his career. He attended university in Glasgow during the Scottish Enlightenment and studied law at London's Inns of Court. His legal practice took him to Wales and the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Returning to Boston in the 1780s, he emerged as a figure of considerable public controversy. John's son, J.S.J. Gardiner, was an Episcopal priest and a leader of Boston's Federalist literati. As Milford describes the careers of these three men, he contends that the Gardiners exemplified the ambitions of the cosmopolitan middle class throughout the British Empire and English-speaking Atlantic world during the decades just before and after the American Revolution. He also uses this history to intervene in the long-running scholarly debate over the relative influence of liberalism and republicanism in the political culture of the early republic. The Gardiners' ambitions, Milford suggests, demonstrate a deep allegiance to the liberal vocabulary of private gains and public good - a vocabulary in which Americans had been schooled by their imperial engagements. Because of this attachment to liberalism, the disintegration of British authority in the colonies presented an acute dilemma for those New Englanders for whom the British Empire had offered an expanding array of professional opportunities.

What remains as the biggest challenge for current LED technology? (Part II)
Kaz Maruyama, Global Industry Director, LED Lighting, Dow Corning
The biggest challenge is that LED chips are quickly approaching their theoretical limits for efficient light output. As they do, incremental improvements to the LED die are providing diminishing returns on investment. Fortunately, innovations in optical silicone packaging materials are introducing new, more cost-effective ways to enhance efficiency (lm/W), as well as cost (lm/$) and light density (lm/cm2). Easily molded, and available as optically clear encapsulants or highly reflective materials, silicones are expanding design options for shaping light and improving LED output. Plus, as a class of materials, silicones also deliver comparatively high photo- and thermal-stability to support reliably consistent, long-term lumen maintenance in advanced high-intensity LED applications. Optical silicone technology continues to evolve. Several years ago, designers were confronted by the choice between more thermally stable methyl silicones and phenyl silicones, which offered a higher refractive index (RI). But recent advances in phenyl-based technology have produced optical silicone encapsulants that are suitable for today's most advanced high-power general lighting applications, including 5W – 50W chip-on-board LED architecture. This is another significant step toward cost-effectively improving the efficiency and systems cost of next-generation LEDs: The RI for phenyl silicones reaches 1.54 vs. methyl's RI of 1.41. Although this 0.13 difference may seem small, it can translate into about 7 percent more light output – independent of the LED chip, case or input power. As LED chips approach their physical limits to deliver more light, the potential of silicone packaging materials to enhance efficiency, value and performance comes as very good news to solid-state lighting manufacturers.
| Dr. Arun Dutta, Director R&D, LED Lamps Americas, OSRAM SYLVANIA
The biggest challenge for current LED lamp technology is the ability to efficiently extract heat from the LED source. Contrary to popular opinion, LEDs do generate heat with only about 20% or so of the input power being converted to light. A detectable increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient would have a significant positive impact on lamp efficacy (LPW) which directly translates to cost savings for the consumer. This thermal management becomes more severe in two conditions: (1) As the input power increases within the same fo rm factor, and (2) As we move to smaller and smaller form factors. For an example of condition (1), extraction of heat from a 100W equivalent A line LED lamp is really challenging if one needs to stay within the A19 form factor. This is why a there is a proliferation of LED lamps in the lower wattages, around 40W to 60W, and only a handful in the 75W and 100W category. For an example of condition (2), the lumen output in MR16 LED replacement lamps tend to be lower than halogen sources of the same small form factor. Inability to extract heat efficiently from the LEDs also decreases lamp life and affects color shift. Use of discrete LEDs in place of COB (chip on board) does help with thermal management. Use of special circuit board materials in place of the industry standard FR4/MCPCB boards also assists with thermal management. Advanced thermal interface materials and use of active cooling, phase change cooling and liquid convection cooling are some of the other methods being used by manufacturers of LED lamps for better thermal management. In addition, advanced heat sink design and new thermal modeling techniques greatly aid thermal management.
Steve Jackson, Business Development Manager of Thermal Management at Sapa Extrusions North America
Many in the industry would agree that the biggest challenge facing current LED technology is the thermal management required to keep LEDs cool. While LEDs have a long life cycle, this is greatly reduced at elevated temperatures. Heat generated by LEDs is detrimental not only to the life of the bulb, but also the quality of the light. Therefore, the challenge for engineers lies within designing high-quality lighting fixtures that are both visually appealing, as well as meet the thermal requirement needs.The proper use of heat sinks—a component used in electronic systems to dissipate heat—is paramount to thermal performance in LEDs. Heat sinks help decrease the heat, which in turn increases the life of the LEDs. A well-engineered design can encompass the heat sink into the lighting fixture. Different materials used to create heat sinks offer a broad range of thermal conductivity; however the lighting industry has predominantly used aluminum extrusions and castings for years. One advantage extrusions offer is a higher level of thermal conductivity, providing a porosity free product. Another important component is surface area. High ratio extruded heat sinks contain longer fins that increase surface are and thermal performance. These types of heat sinks are most often seen in street light LED applications. An additional benefit is the various sizes and finishing options that are available. Aluminum extrusions come in a range of can be bright-dipped, powder-coated or painted in a variety of colors that allow the architect to supply a range of finished products. Given the myriad of new applications for LED technology that are continuously developed, the thermal management challenge will continue to be a hot topic. To meet the design challenge of incorporating style and optimum thermal performance, engineers should consider aluminum extrusions as part of the design.

i am faced with many challenges at this time of year, things i have worked on, self devotion, teaching unconditional love, the right to choose and i have seen something yesterday that i am concerned with. how many of us take the time to really see a person?
people of all kinds cross our paths and most of us do not even give them the time of day. not a smile, not a hello or even an offering. there are those among us who suffer in silence and for the most part we do not even see it. i value my gift of sensing these things and that is why i probably go out of my way to help others. but when it hits close to home, i am always compelled to do something more.
today i can say i am very grateful for the things i have, a roof, food, clothes, luxuries that some do not even think about and of course i am very grateful for my job; without it, i would not have the things i have. i am truly lucky because i have the knowledge to make my life as happy as it can be and the wisdom to make the right choices. i can honestly say many years ago, i would not even speak of anything let alone share it online.
my challenge right in this very moment is to give something back to someone who made be in need. the how to approach it is what challenges me. my dear readers, when you are out in public today and the next few days, please remember to be kind and if you can GIVE the gift of unconditional love.

We currently use ACT! to store our prospects. We don't use it as we really should and have no plans on using it other than a contact list. I want to get rid of ACT! and move all of the contacts into a "Public Folder" in our Rackspace Exchange site. I need a way for mobile devices to sync with the Public contacts folder.

So basically I'm writing this to tell you about myself.
My name's Gunner. I was born and raised in The Asscrack of Nowhere, Ohio. (Actually Northwest Ohio, just the rural area.) I'm nearly 17 (just a couple months basically).
Appearance: 6'2", black (short-ish) hair, brown eyes, and built pretty decent. Hobbies: School football, skateboarding, drawing, and of course writing.
I've had an interest in writing since I was about 12 or maybe 13. I wrote short stories, non-fiction ghost books, and little faux-newspapers. I matured a bit and started writing for a purpose when I discovered Creepypasta. At that point I became serious with my stories. I made more advanced plot lines, twists, character development, and in-depth describing.
My Style of Writing: Basic character development. I allow the story to go on to show what kind of person the narrator is. I write more first-person POV than anything else. More meaty story, less dialogue. I rarely write dialogue and if I do it's a very brief.
I have two Pastas on this site. 'Country Living' and 'Hole to Hell'. Country Living is a knock-off personal Rake story. Hole to Hell is a bit harder to describe.
Well, that's all! Thanks for reading if you did and I hope to contribute more to this wiki!

The England international has come under praise from another English legend, Alan Shearer who has described the player as "a manager's dream" after having watched him during their time at Newcastle United.
James Milner who has now been slotted at left back after having had stints in midfield managed to keep Raheem Sterling quiet for most of the the game against Manchester City and even though Sterling stepped past Milner on a couple of occasions, it was clear that the winger's appetite was much reduced due to the presence of Milner. The former Manchester City man also chipped in with some gorgeous forward passes that were much appreciated by Jurgen Klopp from the sidelines. All in all, he's an asset for the Liverpool side at the moment due to his versatility and Jurgen Klopp will do well to afford him a rest in the coming days to avoid injury.
