This story is inspired by [email protected] , however the story is a compilation of both of our lives and our fantasies.
"What the fuck man?" Chris wiped Ryan's cum from his face. "Did you like having this asshole's cock up your ass? I thought you were my bro, but now I find out you aren't anything but another fucking faggot." Chris stormed out of his and Ryan's room. Mark laughed and then got up, straightened his clothes and left Ryan and Chris' room.
Ryan didn't know what do to. Should he follow Chris and try to explain? Should he follow Mark and beat the shit out of him? Should he find Tim and fuck him so he felt like he was the alpha that he was? Instead he just pulled his pants up, sat on the floor, and knocked back the remaining beers that Tim had gotten them.
When Chris got back, Ryan was still sitting on the floor. Chris didn't say anything. He took off all his clothes and crawled into his bed. After he had settled in Chris turned to Ryan and asked "hey faggot, you want to watch me beat off? Or maybe you'd like to give me a blow job."
"I think you're the asshole and that you like to have something shoved up it." With that Chris rolled over and faced the wall without another word.
Over the next few weeks Ryan and Chris didn't exchange more than a few words, usually about Chris wanting the room for the night and that Ryan needed to find someplace else to stay. Chris never asked Ryan if he wanted the room.
Ryan kept fucking Tim every couple of days just to make himself feel good about himself but it wasn't helping much. He kept having dreams about having a big dick up his ass. It was freaking Ryan out. There were even times when Ryan caught himself fingering his asshole while he beat off.
His relationship with Chris kept getting worse. One day Ryan came back to their room and found a 12" black dildo lying on his bed with a note from Chris saying "I thought you might like this." Ryan started thinking that he needed to change rooms but that would mean going to talk to Mark and he didn't want to see that little fucker again.
Ryan decided he needed to go out and fuck some new ass. He had heard about new bar that had opened near campus where a lot of the gay kids went. Ryan wasn't really into the bar scene or dance music but he thought he might try to bag an ass or two.
He showed up to the bar at about 11, paid the cover and went in. The music was loud and the drinks overpriced but he bought himself a Coors Light and started to walk around the bar. As he had hoped, as soon as he walked in, eyes were eating him up. He had been sure to wear a pair of jeans that not only showed off his muscles but also his package. He was going commando so that the outline of his cock was obvious. It was warm in the bar so he unbuttoned his shirt so that everyone could check out his abs and pecs. He also rolled his sleeves up high so that they made his biceps pop. Almost every guy he walked by would do a double take and then let their eyes wander over his body. They would then turn to whatever friends they were with and talk while they stared at him. This was just what he needed.
As he walked around, drinking his beer, the attention started to make his dick harden which caused even more attention. After walking for a while he stopped and leaned against the wall and surveyed the crowd. The bar was filled with twinks and poseurs. While he did enjoy fucking Tim and his nerd friends he wasn't interested in hooking up with some young asshole that would want to talk all night before getting down to business, he wanted someone like him, muscled and with swagger, but who liked to suck cock and get fucked and fucked hard.
The line of queens kept swishing past him but finally his eye caught a good looking guy on the other side of the bar. He looked to be about 6' with a solid body. He wasn't wearing anything too sparkly or shiny, just jeans and a tight t-shirt. He was surrounded by twinks that obviously wanted to service him but Ryan hoped that he might be the kind of guy that also liked to get fucked.
Ryan made his way around the bar and worked his way close to the guy. When he caught his attention, Ryan said "can I get you a beer?" He was glad to see that the guy wasn't drinking a Cosmo or some other type of girly drink. The guy let his eyes move up Ryan's body stopping for a beat at the outline of his cock. "Sure."
Some of the queens that had been circling the guy turned their attention to Ryan but soon saw that he was interested and turned their attention back to the guy. The bartender brought over two beers. Ryan handed one to the guy. "Names Ryan."
"I'm Terry."
Ryan stuck out his hand and was greeted with a hand that was as large and strong as his own. They stood sipping their beers. As they started making small talk the gaggle of guys started to get impatient and began to turn their attention to other guys.
"So what are you looking for?" Ryan asked.
"Someone like you."
"Then let's get the fuck out of here." The two men put down their bottles and walked out of the bar leaving a lot of disappointed faces.
When they got outside Ryan groped Terry's ass. Terry turned to Ryan and said "no way man, if anyone is going to get some ass tonight it's going to me." Ryan pushed Terry against the wall of the building and put his lips against Terry's ear. Terry struggled at first but Ryan whispered, "I think you've got that wrong dude", and had his hands on Terry's pecs and pinched at his nipples while he groped his ass again. Ryan pushed his crotch against Terry and moved it seductively. After a while Terry pressed his crotch against back Ryan's.
Ryan asked, "You got someplace we can go?"
"I guess we could go back to my apartment."
"Let's roll."
The apartment was in walking distance of the bar. Typical college student off-campus apartment. Mismatched furniture but with a large TV monitor.
"Get us a couple more beers."
Terry went into the kitchen and returned with a couple of cans. Ryan looked around the living room and saw a bottle of Glide and what looked like some poppers on one of the side tables against the couch. "Looks like you've been busy in here." Terry looked at Ryan and said that he had fucked a guy last night that he had met at the bar.
"But tonight you're going to be the one that gets fucked."
"Really man, I don't get fucked, maybe we can just suck each other off and call it a night."
"No way man, I've wanted a piece of your ass since I saw you in the bar." Ryan grabbed one of Terry's hands and brought it to the bulge in his jeans. "Doesn't that feel good? Don't you want to release it?" Terry started to move his hand over the bulge. "I thought so." Ryan pushed Terry's hand away and unbuttoned the top of his jeans and then opened the rest. He pushed them down a bit so that his cock popped out. Ryan wrapped his fingers around his cock and began to slowly stroke it. Terry watched transfixed. After a moment Terry leaned over to take Ryan into his mouth, Ryan pushed him back. "Get between my legs."
Terry slide off the couch and moved between Ryan's legs and took the mushroom head of Ryan's dick between his lips. Ryan moaned and raised his hips driving more of his cock into Terry's mouth. Terry kept working the head but Ryan wanted more, he put his hand on the back of Terry's head and pushed him farther down his cock. Ryan was surprised that Terry had taken as much cock as he had without gagging, he obviously had some practice in eating some big cocks. Ryan leaned his head back and closed his eyes as Terry picked up the pace on his dick. After a few minutes of enjoying Terry's mouth, Ryan was close to shooting so he pushed Terry off his cock and aimed his cock at Terry's face. String after string of Ryan's spunk landed on Terry's face, it made quite a sight. "Now you can eat it." Using his fingers, Terry slide the gobs of cum toward his mouth and used his tongue to lap it in. Ryan watched as Terry did swallow after swallow to get all that he could. "Yeah man, that's the way to treat a real man's cock."
When Terry had finished licking his fingers, Ryan stood up. "Get up." Terry got up from his knees. "Take your clothes off, all of them." Nervously, Terry took off his shirt showing his defined upper body. "Your pants too." Terry slide his jeans down revealing a jock. Ryan could tell by how far the jock was distended that Terry was as hard as a rock. Looking into Ryan's eyes, Terry started to remove the jock. "No, leave it on and get over here." Ryan shoved his own jeans down and pulled off his shirt.
Terry moved closer to Ryan. Ryan moved them both to the side of the couch and then spun Terry around and pushed his back so that he was bent over the arm. With his free hand Ryan grabbed the bottle of Glide and squeezed some onto his cock and on the crack of Terry's ass. Placing the bottle down, Ryan began to cover his cock with the lube. When he finished he started rubbing the Glide into Terry's ass crack. When he finally reached Terry's hole, Ryan moved the jock strap and started to finger his ass. Terry squirmed as Ryan started to slip his finger into his hot hole. "You don't seem to be too concerned about being fucked now." Ryan stuck a second finger into Terry's hole which elicited a moan. Ryan turned his fingers. "I can tell you haven't been fucked much, your hole is tight."
"I've only been fucked once, it was my freshman year and I didn't like it."
"You're going to like it with my cock inside you."
Ryan removed his fingers and grabbed his cock. With the rigid head he moved the jock strap again and put it against Terry's slick hole. "You ready?" Ryan didn't wait for an answer, he shoved his cock into the waiting hole with just one thrust. Terry bucked but Ryan kept him pushed against the couch arm. "You're going to love this." Ryan slide his dick all the way out except for the head which he twisted a bit and then he shoved it all the way back in. "Going to breed you buddy."
With each thrust Ryan pushed harder and went deeper. Pretty soon Ryan's balls were bouncing off of Terry's ass and Ryan was like a pile driver, ramming his cock in and out of Terry's ass. At some point Terry reached over, grabbed the bottle of poppers and placed it under his nose. Almost immediately he started pushing back against Ryan's thrusts.
Even though, just minutes ago, he had cum all over Terry's face, Ryan felt another load building in his groin. He grabbed Terry's hips and tried to ram a bit more of his cock into Terry's hot, tight hole. With a roar, Ryan filled Terry with his second load of seed but just kept pumping.
Terry's back was covered in sweat as was Ryan's chest. The sweat slide down to the still connected cock and ass adding to the heat from the friction. Ryan finally slowed his thrusts, "now you know what it feels like to be fucked by a man." Ryan pulled his cock out and wiped it on Terry's ass. As Terry lay exhausted and spent over the arm of the couch, Ryan pulled on his jeans, grabbed his shirt and walked toward the door. As he opened the door and walked though Ryan said, "Like I said before, nice ass buddy."
The cooler air on the street quickly dried the sweat off of Ryan's chest. As he walked toward his dorm shirtless both men and women were checking him out. Ryan felt better about himself than he had in weeks. He was back to the guy that dominated other guys before Mark had fucked him in front of Chris. He would push back all the thoughts he had about getting fucked and resolved that it would never happen again.
When Ryan got closer to his dorm room he noticed that the door was open which meant Chris must be there. He was trying to figure out how he could tell Chris what he had done tonight so that Chris would know what had happened with Mark was just a fluke.
As he entered the room, Chris was surprised to see two guys, drinking his beer, in the room, neither of them Chris. "Who the fuck are you guys?"
"We're friends of Chris."
"Where is he?"
"He went out but he told us we should stick around, have a couple of your beers and wait for you."
"What for?"
"He told us you liked to have fun."
"What kind of fun."
"He said you got off having things up your ass."
"Get the fuck out of here."
One of the guys went over to the door and locked it.
The other guy held up the black dildo that Chris had left on his bed a few days before. "Chris thought we should help you try this out."
Ryan started to check these two guys out. While Ryan was 6'2" and built, both of these guys were taller and had a few pounds on him. In fact, Ryan thought these two guys were pretty hot. Both were wearing workout gear but it didn't hide the fact that they both were muscle heads. Chris must have met them at the gym.
"We've been hanging out with Chris. The three of us have gotten pretty good at getting guys that like to be banged by all of us. We've been having a good time. Chris told us a story about how you liked to get banged too, he told us that you would probably like getting fucked by us after we ram this up your ass."
Ryan started wondering what it would be like to get fucked by two guys this big, since the time with the football players, only Mark had fucked him. He started to remember what it felt like to have the big football players' cocks up his ass. These thoughts frustrated Ryan, it was just minutes ago he told himself this was never going to happen again and yet here he was wondering what these two guys' cocks would be like.
"Guys, no fucking way. Chris must have just been joking around, I don't get fucked, I fuck."
"Chris told us that he watched some little guy fuck you and that you came all over yourself." Chris must have left out how Ryan's cum had also hit Chris' face.
Ryan got more conflicted as he saw the outline of both men's cocks start to expand in their workout shorts. In fact, it was apparent that they both were pretty well hung and in proportion to their bodies. Ryan started to wonder what they would look like out of their shorts.
"So what are we going to do? Should we let Chris know that you called him a liar or are we going to have some fun?"
Ryan's mind was spinning. If he did let these guys fuck him and they told Chris it would just reinforce what Chris already believed. If he made them leave they would tell Chris that he was wrong. It was a no win situation. And the more Ryan looked at these guys' crotches the more he wanted to see what was behind the nylon.
Neither guy had told Ryan their names. One of the guys was just a bit bigger than the other and he said "Let's do this. You already have your shirt off, why don't you drop the jeans and crawl up here on your bed and get on your back." It was at that moment that Ryan decided he would see where this went, he thought he could always shut it down if he didn't like being fucked.
Ryan slide his jeans off and laid down on his bed. He watched as both of the men removed their workout clothes. Ryan had been right, their cocks were immense and they were only half hard. He was then surprised that the slightly smaller guy jumped on the bed and straddled his chest. Ryan couldn't move and they guy was rubbing his dick against his chin. It was then that he noticed that the bigger guy had the dildo in his hand again and was rubbing it with some lube that Chris must have left out. "Chris was surprised that you hadn't tried your new toy yet so I thought we could start with that."
With his massive arm, the big guy pushed Ryan's legs back, fully exposing his asshole to the man while the smaller guy grabbed a pillow and put it under Ryan's head bringing his mouth close enough so that the guy could rub his cock against Ryan's lips.
The big guy started to tease Ryan's hole with the end of the dildo. Ryan writhed but the two guys were going to have none of that. Their strong arms and bodies held Ryan in place. The head of the dildo popped through Ryan's ring. Ryan pushed back but that just made the big guy push more of the dildo in. The dildo was covered in little bumps so it was like a bunch of tiny fingers scraping Ryan's channel.
While this was happening, the guy on Ryan's chest leaned forward and tried to push the head of his cock into Ryan's mouth. Ryan pursed his lips but the guy didn't give up. "Take the damn cock asshole". Ryan opened his lips and the guy took advantage of the moment and shoved the whole head of his dick into Ryan's mouth. The head was so thick that Ryan's jaws hurt but in a good way. Ryan's mind went back to the football players that had used him almost the same way.
Slowly the dildo went deeper and deeper into Ryan. The pain was immense but with the cock in his mouth he couldn't make a sound. To Ryan's continuing surprise the toy rammed up his ass started to feel good. The big man would turn it making the bumps send chills through Ryan's body. The smaller man took hold of the back of Ryan's head and pushed more of his cock into Ryan's moist mouth. The smaller man turned his head toward his friend and said "this fucker has a really hot mouth, you're going to love it."
The bigger man started pushing and pulling the dildo until Ryan could feel the man's knuckles hit his ass. "Man, this guy is going to be able to take our dicks no problem, his ass is swallowing this fucking piece of rubber. You should see his hole twitch each time I slide it."
The bigger man abruptly pulled the dildo from Ryan's ass. Ryan realized that he felt empty, empty in a way he had never felt before. "I think it's time for him to feel my cock now" the big man said. The bigger man got between Ryan's legs, pushed them back until they were on either side of his friend straddling Ryan's chest and put the head of his cock against Ryan's asshole. "Pull out of his mouth for a second. I want to hear him ask for my cock." The smaller guy pulled his cock back but left it just millimeters from Ryan's mouth.
The bigger man demanded "tell me you want my cock fucker, tell me how badly you want to feel me all the way up to your stomach." Ryan pushed his ass against the bigger man's dick. "Don't just show me, tell me asshole."
"Yes, yes...I want your cock. I want to feel you inside of me."
The bigger man teased Ryan's hole some more.
"Please fuck me, FUCK ME."
In one swift movement the bigger man slide his cock in to the hilt. As Ryan started to yell the smaller man plunged his cock back into Ryan's mouth. The two began pumping in unison bringing sensations to Ryan that he never had before. Although he could hardly breathe he didn't want either cock to leave where they were.
The bigger man said "remember to pull out before you cum, we can't forget to do what Chris told us to do." Both men pumped their respective cocks for a few more minutes before the smaller man said he was close and pulled his cock out of Ryan's mouth. The bigger man did the same. Ryan felt completely empty again, he was starting to realize that he liked nothing better than to be filled to the brim with cock.
The bigger man came around to the side of the bed and started stroking his cock near Ryan's face. The man on Ryan's chest did the same. Both men started to breath harder and soon they both shot streams of cum all over Ryan's face then they pushed the cum around with the heads of their cocks. "You like that asshole, you like cum on your face like you did to our friend." Uncontrollably, Ryan opened his lips and stuck out his tongue to taste the loads from both men.
For the next hour Ryan was fucked on his back, on his stomach and on his knees. The two guys were insatiable. If one cock wasn't in his ass it was in his mouth. When the guys needed to take a break the dildo was shoved back in.
Ryan's mind went to another place, the sensations, the lack of control, the taste and feeling of cum, all overwhelmed him but not in a bad way. He knew he would want to be filled with cock again and again. As he dreamt of other men and other cocks he didn't hear the door open. When he opened his eyes he saw Chris standing their watching.
"My turn."
Be Well,

19 People Share The Worst Cases Of Edgy Teenager Syndrome They Ever Witnessed.
3. Me.
I was like 12. Forced my uncle to listen to me reading Linkin Park lyrics out of the CD insert while explaining how this stuff related to me.
For example:
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
I distinctly remember saying to my uncle that I felt like I wasn't living up to my parents' expectations, but had no idea how to fix that, or if I even wanted to fix that. 2DEEP4U.
4. We had a guy in our class that was one of those "extreme logic" type of guys that tried to emulate Mr. Spock from Star Trek (we actually called him that). He pretended to have no feelings whatsoever and that anything that wasn't logical to him, made no sense or wasn't important.
He was that kid that would say that he didn't want or need friends because friendship "was just chemicals in the brain", same shit with basically any other emotion such as love.
Basically he would throw off these stupid "Yeah! logic!" comments at inappropriate times. The worst was when the father of a kid in our class died and while we were trying to comfort him he basically shouted at him for crying since according to his logic, dead is dead and there's nothing you can do about it so it made him "angry" to see the kid grieving because of the death of his father.

My son Jack recently experienced another first: his first dentist visit.
I wasn't sure if he should go, if it was even necessary. The topic has sparked much discussion among parents at play dates and in online forums such as Tuscmoms.com. I hesitated because his last few pediatrician visits ended in tears.
As my toddler gets older, he's making it clear he doesn't like being messed with.
But I decided to bring him, in part because of my dad and in part because the American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends children go when they are a year old (Jack will be two in November). My dad has always stressed dental health. Some of my earliest memories involve accompanying him to the family dentist. But the family dental office never looked like this.
Once inside Tuscaloosa Pediatric Dentistry, a movie played on one of several TVs, bright kid-friendly furniture stood at the end of the hall, a toy machine waited for eager little hands to drop in free coins, and a tall stuffed horse with a big toothy smile welcomed Jack into the exam room. I dreaded putting him in the chair.
But there would be no chair that day for Jack � unless you count the human chair we made for him. It's called a 'knee to knee' exam. And I thought it was a marvelous idea. Jack sat facing me while the dentist and I sat knee to knee. Then I tilted my son back gently into Dr. Wes Hollowell's lap. He inspected Jack's 14 teeth and applied a cherry-flavored fluoride varnish.
Jack whimpered a bit but was soon licking his lips, which is what he does when he brushes with the 'tooty fruity' flavored paste at home. I asked Hollowell if we were using the right training paste. He surprised me by saying the fluoride-free paste is not harmful but not beneficial either. It turns out, at Jack's age, plain ol' water works just fine. But at 2�, Jack should start brushing with half a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, Hollowell said.
Kids do not receive actual cleanings at his practice until they are 4, but he recommends they come in starting at 18 months (he disagrees with the AAP and thinks children a year old are too fearful of the dentist).
'The main point of going to the dentist [for toddlers] is just to get comfortable with it,' said Hollowell.
However, there are reasons to bring small children to the dentist other than to acclimate them, he said. If parents discover staining, swelling, delayed eruptions (teeth aren't coming in) or if the child falls and injures the mouth, it's a good idea to have a dentist take a look, Hollowell said.
Hollowell warned against giving children fruit juice, saying he's seen it rot far too many baby teeth. If you must give your child juice, make sure he or she brushes right after and never give it to them at bedtime, he said. Even the natural sugars in 100 percent juice will damage teeth, he said. I thought about the splash of apple juice I sometimes put in Jack's water.
'There is nothing in juice that your child needs,' Hollowell said.
At least nothing, he said, that can't be supplied elsewhere in the diet.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, interesting interior design. Kitchen well equipped with unlimited access to tea and coffe at any time. TV room tidy and spacious.
It was a marvellous experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful !!10/10 !!!
Good Value. Stay 4 days and buy a 3 day transit pass to see the city and sights. It is a hostel so you are surrounded by young people. They will do your laundry for free. Excellent place for anyone traveling on a tight budget, My credit card was automatically charged with my native currency at a 3% premium. The young receptionist did not know how to force it to local currency and tried to tell me that it was impossible to charge my card in Polish Zloyts. Anna, the manager, straightened it out for me and everything was fine.

text: People don't seem to understand camping, (edited) I'll just get straight to the point, taking out camping is a bad idea. I hate campers, you hate campers, but taking out campers is a bad idea because camping gives the game an element of surprise. Forget the noobtubers, quick/no scopers, people with UMP, tactical knifers; it's just about camping. Camping makes the game less dull, although I'm not calling any run-and-gun games like Halo dull because Halo is hella fun. If you just imagined everybody running around, it would be dull. You're probably like "Uhhhh.... You're retarded. Your statement makes no sense whatsoever" Ok. Picture this, you're on a flat map, maybe one or two pieces of cover, and everybody just runs around. They would always use the UMP, Ranger akimbos, or G18 akimbos, or any handgun akimbo. No one would snipe, no one would use assault rifles (controversially) as the SMG's are quicker and have an advantage in rate of fire and damage, everybody would use tactical knife, everybody would use marathon and lightweight and commando. No one would go for the objective as they would either be killed quicker, or killing is more beneficial and satisfying than going for a flag or planting a bomb. Just imagine that. Do you want that? If that happens, there's no element of surprise, or tacticality. It'd be like Halo with overpowered weapons and perks and killstreaks. Everybody would run noobtubes with danger close and one man army or scavenger. Just picture all this, this is call of duty without camping. There's a reason the developers made the maps how they are. You call it camping, I call it tactical element of gameplay. Think about it. Most of this stuff is my opinion, I won't listen to people who bitch about my opinions because I already warned you this was my opinion.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday allowed relaxation of bail conditions of Italian marine Salvatore Girone, which would enable him to return to Italy.
Earlier on May 2, the UN's Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague recommended relaxation of bail conditions of Girone, one of the two marines facing murder charges for killing two Indian fishermen.
The apex court agreed to relax the terms on Girone's plea, but, in-turn imposed several conditions that the latter must adhere to.
"Since he'll remain under jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, it was decided that he can go.Conditions are that – he will surrender his passport once in Italy, will report to police station every month and the report will be handed to the Indian Embassy," Girone's lawyer Suhail Dutt told media persons here.
Girone and another Italian marine Massimiliano Latorre are facing charges of murdering two fishermen in 2012 off the Kerala coast.
The UN Arbitral Tribunal's order clearly recognises the fact that "Girone is under India's authority alone" and that the "Supreme Court of India exercises jurisdiction" over him.
The order had asked India and Italy to approach the Supreme Court of India for relaxation of the bail conditions.
Italy had earlier in March asked the PCA to order India to release Girone, saying the latter, otherwise, risks four more years in India without any charges being made which would amount to "grave violation of his human rights".
The Supreme Court, which was handling this case, suspended the court proceedings relating to the trial of two marines in August 2015 following an order to this effect by International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) which was approached by Italy for international arbitration. (ANI)

Apple has never been short on bravado. Their wizardry and wondrous in everything from their presentation to practicality as it relates to their products and services affords this communications giant a little bit of ego.
But even the most adept and accomplished company can get a little full of itself when it comes to introducing a new gadget or having a particular release heralded as the "next big thing" or the kind of item that will change the landscape of a market.
In this case, Apple is on the threshold of releasing what can only be described at first glance as an astonishing smart watch that looks as though it could be sitting behind a jewelry case at a fine men's accessories store.
The Apple watch is visually stunning and carries with it a sizable price tag, just under $500. Apple remains steadfast in its predictions that the watch is going to sell in the neighborhood of 20 or 30 million watches upon its release, slated for April.
Those close to the Apple release predict that the watch could jump start the fledgling smart watch marketplace, which has done admirable but has yet to have the kind of commercial success it had been hoping for since smart watches hit the shelves. What Apple brings to the table is name value and credibility with its wealth of marketing aptitude and history of devising the kind of products that can only be described as game changers.

Considered one of Asia's top postrock acts since their 2001 "Under the Pipal Tree" debut and now a decade into their career, Tokyo's Mono are listed alongside the global leaders in their genre. Taking full advantage of their continually growing stature, the instrumental quartet invited a 28-member chamber orchestra to join them in Chicago to record their fifth full-length, March's "Hymn to the Immortal Wind," adding even more beauty to their already epic songs.
Inspired by the studio sessions and wanting to do something special to mark their 10th anniversary, after touring in Japan and Europe to promote "Hymn to the Immortal Wind" Mono made their way to New York in May to play two sold-out shows with the 23-piece Wordless Music Orchestra. The first time the group had ever performed live with additional instrumentation, only one concert was scheduled originally with the second date being added due to overwhelming demand.
After the success of the American birthday gigs the band have decided to hold a hometown celebration as well. Set to take place at Shibuya O-East later this month, it will be Mono's largest headlining show in Japan thus far. They'll be joined onstage by conductor Dave Max Crawford and the two dozen strong Music Art Romantic Orchestra, which is composed mainly of members from the NHK Symphony Orchestra including concertmaster Maro. The 90-minute performance will focus heavily on "Hymn to the Immortal Wind," but longtime supporters will be happy to know that lauded material from 2006's "You Are There," 2004's "Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined," and 2002's "One Step More and You Die" will surface too. After closing out the year on a definite memorable note, Mono will spend the first half of 2010 touring the world before taking a break in July to pen new tracks and hopefully begin brainstorming cool concepts for their 15th anniversary.
Mono play at O-East, Tokyo, on Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost ¥7,500. For more information, call (03) 5458-4681 or visit www.smash-jpn.com

I was surprised how spacious the apartment was, a large lounge/diner, good kitchen & roomy bedrooms. The balcony was big enough for a table that comfortably seats 4 people.

The Pool is great with a shallow corner for the little 'uns. Also a Pool bar serving drinks, snacks, ice cream & a lovely shady area if the hot Sun gets too much. My 6 year old Grand-daughter loved the Pool, she was in it every day.

Oh yes it was, oh no it wasn't – pantomime season it is and after the heavy indulgences of Christmas and Boxing Days, the throngs descended on Castlewellan to run off some of the Christmas excess. The venue as ever was Castlewellan GAC – warm hospitality extended in all corners of the club, including music and imbibing promised to the wee small hours. To cater for the extra participants, temporary portable toiles were trucked in and money was put in the meter to ensure that there was warm water in the showers to clean off the caked mud – was it just mud?

Christmas Cracker Preview – Bigger and better than ever
A preview of the 33rd Castlewellan Christmas Cracker race by Bogusboy
It's selling out as fast as Guns n Roses at Slane! Additional places were added to the record 426 that took the line last year. At present there are just over 580 teams registered and with the limit set at 600, the event is sure to sell out – probably before this article hits the newsstands. Once again a record number of teams will take to the start for the 33rd Castlewellan Christmas Cracker pairs' race on Tuesday 27th December. The market town will be awash with colour as 1200 competitors, many of whom will 'dress for the occasion', take to the streets. Ciaran Og Mussen in reducing the pressure on himself by agreeing to run in fancy dress, 'sure they don't expect you to win if you look daft'! This year it will as an elf, next year, who knows!!! The race has grown exponentially since it was taken over by Newcastle AC and relocated to Castlewellan in the early 'noughties' and remains one of the most unique and popular races in the annual ANI calendar. Building on the success of previous years, there are more mixed teams and more all-female teams. I recall clearly the 2004 race when there were 54 teams finishing. This stands as irrefutable evidence of the amazing popularity of running at present and the desire among athletes of all abilities to get out there and compete. For some it will be to win a category or record a fast time, while for others it will be the joy of finishing and the sense of accomplishment that comes from simply being able to say, 'I did it.'

The 32nd Christmas Cracker in Castlewellan Report
Tales of the not so unexpected as Monaghan and Totten dominate a high class field
by Bogusboy
Results, Photos by Caolan Hawkins
With 850 competitors participating, the Castlewellan Christmas Cracker was undoubtedly the main local sporting event of the holiday season. The scene as the athletes made their way along the Main Street towards the Drumbuck Road was truly something to behold with many festooned in festive apparel. Equally impressive was the huge crowd of spectators that lined the streets and the forest park to watch the drama unfold. This year was a vintage one with the event sold out well in advance and many of the top performers committed early to taking part. As predicted, it was going to be a close affair, with a number of pairs in contention for the win. Continue reading

Great essential oil blends for stress relief
This week, I'll be putting out a post on Wellbeing, looking at the best essential oils for stress relief; so I thought I would use this post to look at some of the top oil blends for stress relief. An oil blend is going to be more potent than the sum of its parts (oils). Somehow the combined effect is greater than if you had applied the individual oils on their own. Imagine, then if we combine essential oils known for their stress relieving properties. Gary Young, of Young Living, has over the years created some amazing blends.
Some of the oil blends you may want to try out if you are suffering from stress are: Peace and Calming™, RutaVaLa™, Stress Away™, Tranquil™, Valor™ and White Angelica™. As well as a brief description, I've included the experiences of people who have used these oils successfully. If you follow the links, you may find that you can contact a number of these people to ask them questions. Also many of these blends are available as roll-ons.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta Honors
Nelson Mullins and Partner Michelle Johnson
February 19, 2014
Michelle W. Johnson
Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, an organization that matches volunteer lawyers with local nonprofits in need of free legal counsel, recognized outstanding volunteer attorneys for their pro bono efforts at its eighth annual Volunteer and Donor Appreciation Reception on Tues., Feb. 18 at the office of Alston & Bird.
Southern Company and Georgia Power received the "2013 Corporation of the Year Award" for their contributions of time and legal expertise in helping Atlanta area nonprofits. Both the Southern Company and Georgia Power have been involved with PBPA since 2006 and their attorneys have volunteered on about 70 projects. They have also participated in PBPA's Nonprofit Legal Check-Up, a half-day program that provides an opportunity for nonprofit organizations to meet individually with a team of attorneys to identify the issues that may put the legal health of an organization at risk.
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough received the "2013 Law Firm of the Year Award" for its outstanding efforts in taking legal matters referred by the PBPA. Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough attorneys have assisted on over 70 PBPA projects, including 30 in 2013 alone.
PBPA also honored several attorneys with a "2013 Attorney of the Year Award." Mindy Simon, Associate General Counsel at Emory University; Joe Freeman, Assistant General Counsel of Cox Communications; Michelle Johnson, partner at Nelson Mullins; Jim Johnson and Julie Murphy, counsel and paralegal respectively at Sutherland; Mark Johanson, associate at Ogletree Deakins; Geoff Weirich, partner at Paul Hastings; and Nedom Haley, senior counsel at Baker Donelson, all received awards for their dedicated service to PBPA clients.
PBPA presented Debbie Segal with the "2013 Happy Perkins Award" for her outstanding contributions to PBPA. This award was created in honor of Happy Perkins, retired General Counsel of GE Energy, who played a pivotal role in organizing Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. Debbie Segal, who recently retired as pro bono partner at Kilpatrick Townsend, assisted in engaging about 200 of her firm's attorneys to volunteer with PBPA.
"Obviously, Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta would not exist without our volunteers and our donors. This event gives us a chance to thank them and to highlight the extraordinary efforts of some of our outstanding volunteers," said Rachel Epps Spears, Executive Director of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. Spears also thanked the event's sponsors including Presenting Sponsor Thomson Reuters, Sustaining Sponsor RR Donnelly, and Supporting Sponsors Counsel on Call, Habif Arogeti & Wynne and Wells Fargo.
PBPA client Dolph Goldenburg of The Living Room kicked off the awards presentation by sharing how the legal services provided through PBPA have aided his organization and the work it does for low-income individuals.
PBPA provides free legal services to community-based nonprofits that operate programs benefiting low-income or disadvantaged individuals. PBPA matches eligible organizations with volunteer attorneys from the leading corporations and law firms in Atlanta. Since it opened its doors over eight years ago, PBPA has assigned and supported over 1500 volunteer lawyers in aiding about 650 nonprofit clients. In 2013 alone, PBPA provided free legal services valued at well over $2 million to Atlanta-area nonprofits. PBPA is funded by donations from corporations, law firms, bar sections and individuals.

Some people are natural archivists like Mary Martin, who preserved all of poet Toru Dutts 53 letters to her as well as photographs and other memorabilia. Torus biography by Harihar Das is all the richer with detailed (and delectable) quotes from these letters. However, not too many are by instinct preservationists, often eager to throw away, sell or burn old diaries, books, photographs, letters, receipts, and other objects that were of so much value to a person who may or may not be alive. And if we believe that an individual actually goes through many existences within one lifetime, then the destruction of a past life may be done by the person herself when she moves on or thinks that the time has come to bring a closure.
We have no reason to believe that either Kadambini Ganguly the first Indian woman doctor of the British Indian Empire or her descendants were exceptional preservationists, though fortunately, her stepgrand-daughter, Punyalata Chakraborty, has described in Chhelebelar dinguli (Childhood days) the busy doctor and her clinic-cum-study that held many mysteries for the children in the family. Kadambini must surely have written many letters to her children and her husband, the redoubtable Dwarakanath. Perhaps she even kept a diary in addition to her medical notes when she was a student in Edinburgh. Practically nothing survives of her many roles and identities during her long and eventful life. We do not know why she chose to go to the University of Edinburgh or what her life was like there. How did a self-respecting Brahmo like Dwarakanath Ganguly garner the funds for his wifes education' Did he take loans from admiring friends' Though she had won scholarships for her education in India, there is no evidence that these were available for the expensive course abroad. Was the family cash-strapped as a result' Where did Kadambini live' How did she adjust to a different cuisine and the misery of surviving a sari-clad Scottish winter' Who were her friends' And above all, how did she react to the exciting debate in Britain on womens access to higher education'
In the 1890s, the Edinburgh Medical School continued to be the Mecca of medical education and it would not be unreasonable to surmise that Kadambinis decision to study there was based on information on its reputation through word of mouth, experiences of those who had returned, as well as newspaper reportage. A couple of decades earlier, Edinburgh had been actively involved in womens access to medical education, and a little research into the citys role in British medical history makes Kadambinis choice very clear.
According to R.D. Lobban (Edinburgh and the Medical Revolution), the Edinburgh Medical School was one of greatest medical institutions in the 18th and 19th centuries and influenced the pattern of medical education in Britain as well as in other parts of the world. By the beginning of the 19th century, it had started admitting foreign students and in 1874-5, a little less than a third of the almost a thousand students were from other countries, of which 57 were from India. Over the years, even more Indian men must have joined, though Kadambini was the first woman to be admitted. When she arrived in Edinburgh no doubt after a long sea journey and then by train from London to the north prejudice against women students had just about abated; in fact, womens medical education in the city had had a colourful past.
In 1812, James Miranda Stuart Barry obtained a medical degree from Edinburgh. Barry served for 46 years in the armed services, going on to be Inspector-General of Military Hospitals in Canada. When Barry died, it was discovered that the person was actually a woman, and thus technically, the first woman medical graduate. Little is known about the James motivation, but surely non-acceptability as a woman was one very strong reason at a time when taking on male pseudonyms in the literary world was not unknown, George Eliot being a case in point.
In 1869, Sophia Jex-Blake applied to study medicine at Edinburgh and together with six others, was accepted. At the very outset, Sophia had made her reason for wanting to be a doctor quite clear in Medicine as a Profession for Women, a booklet she had published in the same year. She said quite unequivocally that womens health suffered at the hands of male doctors who did not have adequate information on health and hygiene practices and of course, childbirth was a concrete instance that required a female practitioner. She continued, I know of more than one case where ladies have habitually gone through one confinement after another without proper attendance, because the idea of employing a man was so extremely repugnant to them..
Another popular myth was that women had less confidence in their own sex, and would rather be attended to by a man. Sophie contested this with more solid data. An alarmed London-based Society for Apothecaries passed a regulation preventing women from sitting for medical examinations. Clearly their growing interest in medicine had to be nipped in the bud.
The medical profession was divided. Doctors, professors and the public had strong feelings about womens access to medical education. A visibly undecided university board hesitated over the necessity of separate classes for women, though, as some teachers did not admit them, the seven young women had little option but to attend separate lectures. In no time, the media got involved and from the pages of The Times and The Scotsman, the debate soon spilled over onto the streets. In November 1870, there was a riot at Surgeons Hall (photograph) when a protesting crowd tried to prevent the seven from taking an anatomy examination. Sophia wrote An angry mob were [sic] filling up the road
they abused us in the foulest language [and] slammed the gate in our faces
. This incident came to be known as the Surgeons Hall Riot.
Unfazed, and course work completed, the seven prepared to face another obstacle. In October 1871, the University of Edinburgh refused to allow them to sit for their final examinations. Instead, they were to be awarded a certificate of proficiency that allowed them to practise.
Sophia and her companions now known as the Edinburgh Seven or Septem contra Edinam (Seven against Edinburgh) were understandably furious and went to court. The case received considerable publicity and Russell Gurney, a member of parliament who supported womens rights, decided to try and change the law. Because of divided public opinion, on 22 July, 1872, a statement was issued by the university describing plans to open a medical school and dispensary for women. In 1876, Gurney was able to persuade parliament to pass a bill that empowered all medical training bodies to educate women on the same terms as men as well as allow them to graduate. As the first educational institution to offer this opportunity to women was the Irish College of Physicians, Sophia qualified from there as a doctor in 1877.
When Kadambini came to the University of Edinburgh, she would have heard of the histrionics over womens medical education in no time. And of the Edinburgh Sevens success. It was a good time to be a woman doctor as an exciting proactive role for medicine had begun. Not only could women be trained doctors, but also by this time, interventions at childbirth were considerably enhanced by the use of ether. This was not easy either: its use was denounced by the Church that believed that it was womens destiny to suffer pain. It was only in 1853, when Queen Victoria who combined her many roles with rare clarity if not panache used it during the birth of her ninth child that upper-class and conservative opposition to this great alleviator of pain abated.
In 1892, Kadambini, who had decided against a degree (perhaps it was too expensive and would have meant a long time away from her young family) received two licentiates LRCP (Edinburgh), and LRCS (Glasgow). No doubt her months had been eventful, packed with learning, discussions and debates on womens wider rights. She must surely have been impressed by what her predecessors had gone through in those very streets and buildings, melding her own determination and commitment with that of Sophias intellectual and activist heirs. After all, both husband and wife had, in the 1891 Bangabasi slander campaign, faced a hostile press too and won, vindicating the rights of women in a faraway land but with a commonality of discourse.

Fondant On Buttercream??.. Hellppp Asap!!
Decorating By twinkletoe21 Updated 28 Mar 2008 , 12:42pm by KHalstead
how do i stick fondant to buttercream?
i am decorating a cake tomorrow for saturday and im using fondant to decorate on buttercream..
will it be okey until saturday without anything happening to the buttercream?
i hope im making sense.. i really need HELp ASAP as my customer is picking up the cakes tomorrow night.. yayks!
I am not sure I understand your question...
You have a buttercream frosting on the cake and you want to cover it with fondant, is this right?
Have you seen any tutorials on how to roll the fondant out? Are you using a home made fondant?
Brush a little water on the back of your fondant decos and stick them right onto the buttercream. If any of the decos are heavy, use gum glue instead of water.
The cake will be perfectly fine for Saturday. When else could you possibly decorate it???
Are you just using fondant for accent decorations? If you are, it depends if your BC crusts or not. If it is non-crusting, the fondant should just stick right on. If it crusts, you can use a little water or I like to brush a little bit of piping gel on the back of the fondant - sticks great.
my icing crusts and I always just stick em' on there...never had a problem with them not sticking or the colors bleeding or anything....I never put water on them or anything and I always put them on after the icing has crusted because I wait for it to crust in order to smooth it well.
