QUEENSLAND'S chief integrity adviser will push for a Newman Government crackdown on lobbyists in the wake of NSW's corruption inquiry.
He will argue for a major overhaul of state lobbying laws so they target "in-house" lobbyists for big business.
OPINION: Advocacy and lobbying groups should not receive lucrative charity status
Action against lobbyists needed: NSW Labor
At the moment, business can hire external lobbyists, who must be registered. Yet some lawyers, accountants and professional bodies routinely lobby government but fly under the radar of regulations.
Queensland's Integrity Commissioner David Solomon has previously met with NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption and made a submission proposing a widening of lobbying rules to cover in-house lobbyists.
He now plans a submission to the Newman Government's review of its Open Government scheme, calling for rules to target in-house lobbyists.
"This would mean that all lobbying of government (except by constituents and some other minor exceptions) would be recorded and publicly available on the Integrity Commissioner's website every month," Mr Solomon said.
Mr Solomon also plans to detail "matters that may arise through the current ICAC investigations".
The Newman Government will release an "Open Government" paper in coming months but a spokesman for Premier Campbell Newman said there were no plans to change the rules.
This is despite Prime Minister Tony Abbott last month flagging changes to cover in-house lobbyists in the wake of the ICAC hearings.
"This Government has led the way in accountability, including being the first in Australia to publish ministerial diaries," the spokesman said.
"We'd welcome any submissions from the Commissioner."

Google Glass can do many things. Give you weather details, read your messages, notifications, take pictures or videos and a whole lot more. But thanks to third party developers, it is also capable of running certain apps which Google wouldn't find the time to launch. The Sentiment Analysis app by Emotient is one such application, which can apparently read the user's facial expressions as well as emotions and intimate the Glass user. That's all it does for the time being, with more options possibly available in the near future.
The app basically records the person's image and matches it with its existing database of images to suggest the mood, which includes joy, anger, frustration, sadness, surprise and a whole lot more. Of course each face is unique to the person, so it might have those issues to tackle, but the fact that such an application is available right now opens up endless possibilities for the future. The company addresses potential security issues as well. "We don't store images. We basically take the data and aggregate it with other information we've taken from other individuals," said Ken Denman, the CEO of Emotient.

Contrary to their usual misogynist policies, Saudi authorities recently allowed girls to take physical education classes at public schools.
"The public schools, like many institutions, are segregated by gender, and only boys have been allowed to play sports. But girls will now be allowed to take part in their own sports and exercise programs," NPR reported on Tuesday.
The recommendation for PE classes for girls was made after 30 women were appointed to the Shura Council, a government advisory board selected by the king, for the first time in the country's history.
"It is a huge dramatic change. And it's beautiful. It's just beautiful to watch the change in Saudi," said Nouf al-Musehel, a personal trainer at Glowfit – the first licensed women-only gym in Saudi Arabia.

However, the kingdom's hard-liners, as per usual, are not happy with the development since they believe this could "Westernize" young women.
In fact, Saudi religious conservatives oppose sports for women to the extent that they denounced female athletes as "prostitutes" when they went to London to participate in the 2012 Olympic Games.
Also, in January, the country proposed hosting Olympics without women. "Our society can be very conservative," stated Prince Fahad bin Jalawi al-Saud, a consultant to the Saudi Olympic Committee. "It has a hard time accepting that women can compete in sports."
Recommended: Now Saudi Men Don't Want Women On Twitter
Women in Saudi Arabia are subjected to a number of (incredibly meaningless) restrictions. They are not allowed to drive cars or go to libraries and restaurants alone. Letting girls attend gym classes means Saudi authorities finally have taken a groundbreaking step in the right direction.

I signed up for a 3 month membership at 'ClearSkinCare Clinic', you get one treatment of your choice plus + peel and light treatment once per month. Should note I am 25 years old...have aged SO much in the past month because of the damage.
Everything was going great until the therapist I had went on leave. I got stuck with the manager working on my skin. She did 'Pixel RF' (radiofrequency) on my face for acne scarring (but she used the machine ALL over my face for sun damage etc) and also the following 2 weeks after a lactic acid peel (40%) in which she burnt my face!!
It has been just over 3 weeks since the peel and 5 since the radio frequency. I still have 'grid-like marks' from the Pixel Rf on various places of my face, suddenly I have these blue/purple spider veins on my cheeks which were never there before, deep pitted scarring on my chin! Not to mention the burn/erosion area on my lower right cheek. I have been to the doctor three times about this already, also went on anti biotics for infection.
Also my face has just started to sag like it has
lost its elasticity/volume. I look 10 years older and feel so ugly. I was using copper-peptides which I have stopped (I heard can cause sagging). The clinic said Pixel RF (by alma lasers) cannot cause volume loss etc. That there are no major side effects. I can't wash my face or put ANYTHING on it because it burns and itches immediately and its' sooo uncomfortable and sensitive! STILL after 3 weeks And this was meant to be a superficial peel. I am positive she did not rinse it off properly and also left it on too long anyway!!
I have had so much time off work because I am an emotional wreck. I can't sleep at night, I wake up in the night and my heart is racing and I am thinking about all the damage to my face. I can't look in the mirror without crying. My skin was really not that bad before this. I did get some moderate acne and have some scarring on my chin (not pitted, just discolored). Atleast my face was firm before(as if the burn wasn't enough trauma)! Also I hear spider veins are permanent once you get them. I am hoping the firmness will return as my skin is very thin at the moment...so hopefully it's just temporary and not permanent damage!
I am visiting a dermatologist, but can't get in til the 12th June.
Advice is much appreciated please xo
The burn/erosion a couple of weeks ago...
Sagging..(Swollen this day)

You can learn a lot about somebody from taking a rummage through their record collection. And every Sunday, the Money Shot likes to do this from the comfort of its bed by soaking up Radio 4's long-running Desert Island Discs programme with a cup of tea and a Garibaldi.
The past week's instalment made the ears of finance buffs across the country reach for their wireless dials, with the outgoing governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, rocking up to bare his soul to Kristy Young.
Aside from a glimpse of King's musical tastes, the Shot was interested in finding out what makes the venerable King tick. It was also curious to learn how he juggled a high-powered job at the helm of one of the country's most important institutions and a laudable career on the darts circuit.
Unfortunately, he didn't go into too much detail of the latter, but it turns out he's really into Aston Villa and the cricket.
As for the music? Well, those who make it to the top of the world of high finance aren't exactly renowned for their eclectic musical tastes, and those holding out any hopes of Merv throwing a few curveballs with some early jungle records or a bit of Status Quo will have been left disappointed. His selection was fairly typical of a man of his stature and generation: mainly classical works, a show tune and a bit of Bob Dylan. That sort of thing.
Disappointingly, the most surprising thing that Mervyn selected was Lou Bega's seminal 1999 reworking of 'Mambo No 5' – which, coupled with the news that he plans on learning how to dance, evokes an image of a red-faced Merv mamboing gamely around his living room, before a dutiful Mrs King enters brandishing a jug of elderflower cordial and a plate of fondant fancies, offering to mop her flustered husband's brow.
Listeners may also have been surprised at what passes for a slow jam in Mervyn's book. He described this toe-tapper as "incredibly romantic". Each to their own, but the Shot will stick to its Barry White LPs, thanks very much.
So what now for Mervyn? Well, he's planning on taking a 'gap year', which will put residents of Koh Samui on alert for an avuncular gentleman with white hair and bankers' glasses, stripped to the waist and daubed in ultraviolet paint, wigging out to psy-trance at beachside full-moon parties this winter.
As he rides off into the sunset, offering the typically sage and understated advice of "be yourself" to his successor, the Money Shot wishes Mervyn all the best for his year off. The man who helped steer Britain through one of the worst economic crises the world has ever seen has certainly earned a bit of time to himself.
Listen to Mervyn King's appearance on Desert Island Discs.

Reaction in the town has been mixed. One local said: "I think it's wonderful, it's very creative and though provoking." Elsewhere, a less-than impressed passer-by grumbled: "What a load of rubbish."

Overview Edit
The National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR) (formerly the National Performance Review) was an interagency task force designed to fundamentally change the way the federal government works. President Clinton announced the creation of NPR on March 3, 1993. The President asked Vice President Gore to report on the findings of this national performance review within six months.
Unlike past efforts that relied on outsiders, the Vice President gathered experienced federal workers and organized them into teams to examine federal agencies and issues that cut across agencies, such as personnel, procurement or budget policies. The goal: identify problems and offer solutions and ideas for savings. In addition, the President asked each cabinet secretary to organize a "Reinvention Team" to work from within each agency and to create "Reinvention Laboratories" where experiments in new ways of doing business could begin immediately.
The Vice President and the National Performance Review teams sought input from people across America. Vice President Gore spoke with workers at every major agency and at federal centers around the country. He visited programs that work and companies that have implemented new practices, dramatically changing their operations and decreasing costs while increasing profits in the process. The Vice President and the National Performance Review teams learned from the state and local leaders who have put many of these ideas into practice and they listened to the very best experts in the country — from business, government, and the academic academy — at special conferences in Philadelphia and Nashville. And, they listened to the American people whose letters and telephone calls were invaluable.
The National Performance Review focused on how government should work, not on what it should do. The National Performance Review teams examined every cabinet department and ten agencies. A "bottom-up" review of the Department of Defense and the work of the Health Care and Welfare Reform Task Forces at the Department of Health and Human Services both covered areas that the National Health Review did not.
The NPR's final report, "From Red Tape to Results: Creating a Government That Works Better and Costs Less," was issued in September 1993.

How could a stranger edit my form?Asked by Annis on September 14, 2015 at 06:15 AM
I got a message from a customer that my form was odd.
When I checked it, it was back to scratch and my form from last year was showing!
I checked the revision story, and a "guest" had made 43 changes!
How can this happen, and how do I prevent it?
JotForm Support
That is indeed odd. The guest account usually shows up when you are not logged in to your account and you are creating or editing a form.
If you are opening the form builder in multiple tabs in your browser, that may also caused some problems in makings changes to your form, we advise that you closed other tabs that has the form builder opened or avoid editing multiple forms at the same time.
You can also check your "History" section in your account settings, you can check if there's an unfamiliar IP address or form modifications at that time.
We could further investigate and escalate this to our developers. But I believe this is something related to your session being timed out and logged out while editing the form.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

What Does Donald Trump Think About Female Professionals?
By Angela Hill • November 28, 2016•Writers in Residence, Careers, Firms and the Private Sector, Issues, Women and Law in the Media
Like him or dislike him, there is a lot to be said about President-Elect Donald Trump. While surprising pollsters and many in the business community, there is no doubt that it has been a tumultuous election year in the United States. It is one that has polarized urban and suburban Americans, arguably contributed to some (what we hope are) misunderstandings along the lines of rights for same-sex partners, and issues of race, income, and religion.
While comments from the new President-Elect have often led to inflammatory interpretations by the media, particularly along the lines of women's rights (e.g., Planned Parenthood) and safety against sexual misconduct, it would surprise many legal professionals to know that Trump has also demonstrated a culture of performance and equality in his successful business organizations.
From hiring MBAs to legal professionals on his team, what does Donald Trump demonstrate through his actions about the capabilities of female professionals in all business sectors?
The Post-Election Shock and Sentiment
Interestingly, while pollsters did not predict a presidential victory for Donald Trump, social media polls consistently asserted that he was the candidate to watch, particularly in the past six months. Experts in criminal and family law in Indianapolis were shocked at the number of protests which occurred in the city. On November 12, 2016 there were four arrests for violent protests at an anti-Trump rally. Three of the individuals arrested at the rally (which attracted more than 500 participants) were not from Indianapolis.
From pop culture icons and celebrities, to members of the Republican party who opted not to vote in good faith for Donald Trump, America is bracing for change – even if we aren't quite sure what that change is going to look like. If President Trump can affect as much reaction as his election to office has garnered, it will be four years of change management and navigating public opinion. Donald Trump must address and re-build bridges with American women, and assert as a leader that his personal comments are contradictory to his real views and personal values when it comes to women.
What His Employees Think of Him
At the labor level, particularly in entry-level jobs at some of his business ventures and casinos, there has been some negative criticisms of Donald Trump as a business owner. Understandably, some of the furor may be generated from Trump's criticism of illegal immigrants and immigration policy with Mexico. For some employees at the service level, this criticism was taken very personally from a racial perspective.
While it may surprise no one that senior executives would speak highly of their CEO and president (after all, their jobs are on the line), one can trust that the critique might not be so positive if Trump was a consistently prejudiced or abusive employer or manager to work with. Many news articles have provided us with scenarios that paint him in a favorable light, by showing a track record of recruiting and hiring women for top paying leadership positions in all his organizations. Forget what he may have said – there are plenty of historical (and not just recent) articles that show us that in marketing, sales, accounting, and legal support, Donald Trump enjoys being surrounded by talented, attractive female executives.
In a 2015 article for The Washington Post, a former employee, Louise Sunshine, revealed that she had worked for Donald Trump in Manhattan for over 15 years, starting in the 1970s. During that time, Sunshine was a young mother and managing a demanding career alongside Mr. Trump in real estate. Her body weight fluctuated, which was something that she disliked, and she struggled to maintain her level of physical fitness. She indicated that Donald Trump kept a "fat picture" of her in his desk drawer, and when she was not performing to expectations, he would pull it out and show her.
Despite the innate mockery, Louise Sunshine harbors no ill will against Donald Trump, which is surprising until you learn that she came to Trump Tower as a political fundraiser with no real estate experience. Years later, she worked her way to become the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, and still considers Trump (despite his candor toward some women) to be an excellent business mentor, coach, and employer. Trump denied having ever had a picture.
Trump Has More Women at the C-Level (And Pays Them Well)
Michael Cohen is Donald Trump's general counsel, and the current executive vice president of the Trump Organization. In an interview on CNN news with Chris Cuomo, Cohen reported that the gender division is close in the organization, with 57 percent of positions being held by men, and 43 percent of positions held by women. However, at the C-Level, there are allegedly more female executives than male leaders, and they are paid much more than their male colleagues.
And before we discount the claim without evidence, the salary records were disclosed under confidentiality to support the claim. Fewer women overall, but more "at the top," and in one case, one female executive was paid $25,000 more per year than other men in her division. However, the sentiment was not echoed in his political campaign in 2015 and 2016, where Trump hired more men, and allegedly paid them more money than Hillary Clinton's staff, but also at a rate 35 percent higher than women in his administrative and political team.
The Flip Side: Female Professionals Who Have Worked with Donald Trump
For every positive story there is about Donald Trump as a mentor and champion through example for the rights of women in the workplace, there are articles like the one published in Rolling Stone on March 29, 2016. The magazine interviewed former Trump employee Barbara Res, who served as vice president, senior vice president, and executive vice president of the Trump Organization through the 1980s.
The interview recounts an alleged intolerance that Donald Trump had for women who were not attractive; one that he reportedly had great difficulty concealing with his unique management style. His belittlement of women reached frequently to his former spouse, Ivana Trump, a talented business professional. When asked about her performance, Trump reportedly stated: "My wife, Ivana, is a brilliant manager. I will pay her $1 a year and all the dresses she can buy!"
The jury is out when determining if he meant it as a compliment.

The desert dwarves were dwarven clans living in the House of Tezca desert in Maztica. The dwarves were known as the "Hairy Men of the Desert" to humans living in Maztica.
During the Rockfire Cataclysm of 987 DR, Underdark passages between Maztica and Faerûn were destroyed and the dwarves were isolated in Maztica.
The dwarves lived in relatively small clans with several hundred members each.
Because of a lack of iron ore, the desert dwarves were forced to rely on stone weapons. However, as of 1362 DR, some had created weapons from magical plumastone from the ruined city of Tewacha.
With the exception of their sunburnt skin, desert dwarves were indistinguishable from other dwarves.[1]

Tech News on G4
Hawken is Rock 'em, Sock 'em Fun
July 5, 2016
By John Powell - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- John Powell column archive
Giant robots are cool. Giant fighting robots are even cooler. Giant fighting robots for free are just awesome.
The Free-to-play mech-shooter Hawken has landed on Xbox One and even though it is not as intricate or stylized as Titanfall, it does offer some great rock 'em, sock 'em fun.
The future in Hawken is one you are very familiar with by now. There is no sunshine, there are no smiles, there is no laughter on the dirty, rusty, gloomy, dystopian industrialized planet. Why can't there be bright lights and piñatas? Why so glum sci-fi? You need to smile more often and stop watching reruns of Blade Runner.
With Hawken's opening cutscenes setting the tone, you suit up in your mech battling other bots to collect resources, which is really just an excuse to beat the holy crap out of each other. Armed with machine cannons and missiles that need to be managed properly as they overheat, you can also use your booster jets to get the drop on your mechanical foes.
What sets Hawken apart is that you have the option of resting and making repairs which adds a whole other tactical component to the free-for-all brawls. You have to pick the right time and find the right place to otherwise you could be in for an unexpected beatdown as you knock out those scorched missile dents and patch those bullet holes.
There are nine playable maps, which tend to be quite large and that can be a problem when you are a clunky mech that flies like a lead balloon. Except for a jungle-themed one, the maps aren't that vibrant or eye-catching. Same old rust. Same old metal. There are plenty of tactical points though. There are an abundance of high perches, underground tunnels and dead-end killzones to take advantage of.
Hawken offers six different game modes: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Co-op Team Deathmatch, Co-op Bot Destruction, Siege, and Missile Assault. Although commandeering missile silos (Missile Assault ) and battleships (Siege ) may be amusing, you will probably spend most of your time in deathmatch as that is where the fun truly is.
To obtain better mechs and weapons, you have to level up or purchase credits. I, personally, find that a bit frustrating. Like Overwatch or Mortal Kombat, I would rather have a whole roster to choose from and not be forced into a particular style of gameplay until I level up. For skins, emblems and other customizations, the unlocking approach is fine as those rewards give you a reason to progress and show off your experience and dedication but when it comes to gameplay, I don't want to be boxed in. I want to play my way.
Considering it is a free download, it is hard to find fault with Hawken. If you liked Titanfall, Mechwarrior, MechAssault or Armored Core and are willing to trade complexity for good old fashioned metal on metal mayhem, Hawken will satisfy. Like those endearing mechanized tin cans it showcases, Hawken is nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

Did Someone Just Say "Amon"?
If you have plans to visit the Amon Carter Museum some time in the next few months, you'd best hurry: The place is shutting down May 21 and will remain shuttered for a good three months. The reason why: "Repairs on the building's fire suppression system," which is not a euphamism. The entire release received at UP HQ is after the jump. --Robert Wilonsky
Amon Carter Museum to Close for Repairs to Fire Suppression System
FORT WORTH, Texas—Amon Carter Museum Director Ron Tyler announced today that the museum will close to the public beginning May 21 for a period of approximately three months to undergo preventive maintenance and repairs on the building's fire suppression system. The museum will reopen for the special exhibitions Chimneys and Towers: Charles Demuth's Late Paintings of Lancaster and Accommodating Nature: The Photographs of Frank Gohlke.
"The museum's priority is always to the care of the collection, as well as our visitors, and we have determined that both the artwork and our guests are best protected by closing the museum for this period of repair," Tyler said. "The alternative would have been to close the galleries in stages over a much longer period of time, which would have required additional art handling and a much longer period of disruption for the visitor."
No traveling exhibitions or public programs were scheduled for this summer, so cancellations have not been necessary. The museum's internal operations will continue as usual.

I've been a member of the Northhill country club for as long as I can remember. I've been gay just as long. I can remember being in my teens and sucking the cocks of some of the other guys in the lockeroom. I don't mean to gloat but I was a beautiful twink! Tall with short dark hair, brown eyes that sparkled when I laughed, smooth olive colored skin thanks to my moms Greek side and a lean, toned, swimmers build. Not much has changed since then. I'm older and have more responsibilities then I did then. I have a trimmed goatee and stash. My cock is gi-normous, or so other guys tell me. Even in highschool when the guys in the lockeroom would see it for the first time, their reactions used to make me laugh. There eyes would buldge and their mouths would begin to water. My shlong is about 10 inches when soft and a little more when fully erect and ready for buiness. I had a pair of heavy, low hanging cajones able to produce massive amouths of love juice to boot!
One thing my experience with gay sex at a young age taught me is how to appreciate the soft, tender flesh of a younger man. That's right, I'm into younger men. I've been a few guys on gay chatrooms who like them "jail bait" young but that's not the type I go for. 18-29 is the age range. I am attracted to guys who are handsome and have a nice smooth, toned twink body. I'm a sucker for a thin, long cock and a firm, smooth ass to eat out and fuck. Up until then I hadn't actually met any young men. Just guys my age or a little older. Even though I just turned 31, I still have a high sex drive. I can go all night practically without rest. Once you get me goin, look out!!
One day I arrived at the club early. I liked to sit in the new sauna they had built for a little while before going for a swim. There's nothing quite as exilerating as sitting in a hot, steamy sauna and then jumping into a cool pool. I stripped off my clothes and wrapped a towel around my narrow waist and hips. When I opened the sauna door I noticed it was practically empty except for one other person. I couldn't see him clearly because it was so steamy in there but he looked young. I sat down on the wooden bench and leaned my head back and closed my eyes. I heard a noise and when I opened my eyes, the other guy had moved closer. He was young. Tall with short black hair, mischevious brown eyes, boyband good looks and a lean, toned swimmers build. Just how I liked em!! His full, red lips turned up at the corners as he smiled.
"Hi!" he said in a deep voice. "Hi" I said smiling back. "I've never seen you here before" I said. He shrugged. "I've been away at college. This is the real first break I've had in months!" I watched as he slid closer. "I'm Justin." He was practically ontop of me but I didn't mind. He held out his hand and I shook it. "Christian." Justin's beautiful brown eyes sparkled as he looked me over and grinned. "Tell me Chris, anyone ever tell you, you're one hot fucker!!" I chuckled. "Frequently." He nodded. "I'm so horny!! I was just about to start jerking off when you showed up." I laughed. "Please, don't let me stop you." Justin smiled shyly. "You sure you won't mind?" I shook my head. "Hey, we're men and we all get horny so feel free to rock out with you're cock out!!" That made Justin laugh. I watched as he pulled the towel open and heard myself gasp. He had such a beautiful body! Smooth, hard pecs with two dime size nipples, a flat, ripped stomach. When my eyes fell on the limp piece of meat that was laying limpy on his stomach I wanted so badly to suck on it. It was long and thin with a pink mushroom like head and a pair of smooth, fleshy balls perfect for sucking.
Justin took his flaccid cock in hand and began stroking it gently. "Aren't you gonna join me?" he asked, smiling. I knew the hot young twink was teasing me and it only made me even harder than I already was. He reached over and tugged my towel free. The back of his hand touched my stomach and I jumped. When he saw my huge, hard cock, Justin's eyes widened in aw. "Holy shit!! What the hell do you feed that thing!" I grinned. "It's big, I know." Justin nodded. "It's the biggest one I've ever seen and look at that! It's hard and pulsating!" His hand moved a little faster. "I'd love to taste that big cock you got there!" he exclaimed. I laughed. "Only if I can do the same." We stood and laid our towels on the wooden bench and I laid on my back. Justin positioned himself over me with my head between is legs and his long cock dangling only a few inches from my lips. I wet them and put my hands on his smooth asscheeks bringing his cock down to my mouth. When my lips touched the spongy head, I heard Justin moan.
"Yeah, suck my cock!" he cooed. He thrust his shaft deep into my mouth and began fucking my face. The feeling of his smooth cock sliding in and out of my mouth was amazing! I knew from years of sucking dick to purse my lips. When I felt Justin's wet lips on my own rock hard prick, I cried out. "UHHH!!" Soon, we were both panting and the only sound that could be heard was the slurping as we sucked and sucked and sucked!! Suddenly, I felt my balls draw up and I knew I was about to cum. I wanted to fuck his beautiful twink ass before I did. I told Justin to stop and he sat up. "Did I do something wrong?" he asked, worry written all over his beautiful face. "No!" I assured him "I was about to cum and I wanna be deep inside that lusious ass of you'res when I do!" Justin smiled. He laid down on the towels with his perfectly round, smooth ass sticking out. "Go ahead!"
I smiled because before I fucked him, I wanted to taste his ass. I kneeded his soft cheeks with my large hands before parting them. There in the middle like a rare jewel was his rosebud. I kissed both cheeks and licked the length of his crack from balls to tailbone and heard him moan softly. I spit in his ass and began flicking my tongue on his clean hole. Justin was panting and moaning. "Yeah! Oh Fuck that feels so good!" he wimpered. I really began to go to town. When I felt his hole was wet enough, I put my pointer finger and middle finger and inserted them. Justin gasped in suprize. "Just loosening you up a bit babe!" I told him. I moved my fingers in and out of his hole. I was so hard, I didn't think I'd last much longer. When I felt he was loose enough, I positioned myself over him again. "You ready to be fucked?" He nodded. I held my cock steady. I moaned when I felt the velvety inside of his asscheeks. "Fuck yeah!" he moaned. I felt the head of my cock press against his hole. "You sure you wanna do this?" I asked. He nodded. "I wanna feel you inside me!" he exclaimed.
I thrust a little and felt his hole resist. Wiggling my hips a bit, I managed to gain entry. Justin didn't cry out. "You've been fucked before haven't you." He nodded. "It's been awhile though and I've never had a dick as big as you'res." That made me smile. I didn't want to hurt him so I went slow. I pulled my cock almost all the way out before thrusting back in, each time, inserting a little more. The tight muscles of his anus gripping my shaft like a vice almost made me cum. I closed my eyes and concentrated on lasting as long as I could. Soon I found my rythem. I moved a little faster. Justin was moaning softly. I could tell he enjoyed being fucked. "Yeah! Fuck me!!" he moaned "Oh you're big cock feels so good in my asshole!" I moved faster. My balls slapped his tender skin with each thrust. Soon I was pounding his ass with a reckless abandon. Justin was panting and moaning like a two bit hooker. "Oh yeah! he whimpered "Fucke me! Fuck my tight ass!" I knew I couldn't last much longer.
I manuvered the both of us so he was sitting in my lap without my cock slipping out. He bobbed up and down as I grabbed his cheeks, prying them as far as they would go and ramming my steel fuckstick deep in his ass. He wrapped his arms around my neck. "Yeah! Oh God yeah!!" Justin moaned. I felt the molten hot cum travel from my balls to my shaft. "I'm gonna cum!!" I moaned. Justin smiled. "Yeah, fill my boypussy! Breed my ass!!" That did it! I pounded his ass like a jack hammer, my big balls flopping and felt my cock expload deep inside his love canal. "AARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!" I growled as rope after rope of hot, spunk filled his ass. When my cock stopped twitching, we sat there panting, a big satisfied grin on Justin's face. "That was the best fuck I'v ever had!!" I smiled. "It ain't over yet. Now it's you're turn big boy!!" He stood and I told him to lay down on his back with his legs up to his chest. From this position I had a perfect view of his tight boypussy. Some of my cum had oozed out.
I dove between those cheeks and began licking out all of my load. Justin was panting an moaning. I reached between his legs and began stroking his cock. Soon Justin's breathing became more laboured and I knew he was close. Without another word, I clamped my mouth on his pulsating cock like a leeche and sucked for all I was worth. "OH YEAH!! I"M GONNA CUM!!" I felt his cock twitch in my mouth and his thick, creamy load shoot down my throat. "UUUUGGGHHHHH!!" He hollared as I drained him dry. We sat there panting. "I really enjoyed that!" I exclaimed. Justin nodded placing his head on my thigh and looking up at me. "Wanna come back to my place for some dinner and then round two?" I grinned. I knew this was going to be a long night!!!
To Be Continued.....
I try to inject myself into every story I write. It's always been a dream of mine to meet a young, hot twink here in Arkansas and make him cum with my mouth and some toys. Anyone interested? Leave me a e-mail :)

So he took me to movies and dinner and after that he took me home... we was at a light sitting and I felt him staring at me. So I turn my head and look at him and he was staring at me. the light turned green and he was driving slowly and still staring at me. I asked him is he going to drive and he said..."oh yeah".
Most Helpful Guy
he must have really enjoyed the date. He was probably planning what to do when he took you home, whether to kiss you and how much, that kind of thing. So he was trying to gauge how receptive you might be to whatever he was planning!00|00|0

We have seen kids crying for every little thing. If they don't like your face, they'll cry.
They hate your presence, they'll cry. They want something, they'll cry. So all they know is to cry for everything and we can't actually blame them because they are just kids.
This video features a girl who's crying for something that literraly doesn't exist. A Unicorn!
You can see the girl crying badly that she wants a real live unicorn and on knowing that she can't get one, she cries even more.
The video was published back in September 2012 but just went viral, gaining over 50,000 views.

She said she'll talk to me later after I got her number. I only sent a text earlier saying who it was so she could save the number. then sent her a text later to start a convo but no response its been a couple of hours. what gives? when should I try recontacting her again? I'm planning on asking her out this week. Not sure if she's single or not though.
She hasn't texted back?

I would send her one more text and after no response for hours, I'd let her message me and move on with life.00|00|0
I wouldn't text her again unless she responds first. I wouldn't ask her out either. Something I always tell my guy friends when they wonder why a girl won't answer/if they are too busy/phone died/etc... Girls make time when they want to.

Supermarkets are opening up more space for home office products and co-branding with specialty retailers such as Office Depot and Staples. According to several industry sources, this has not been a hard decision because profit margins are high and product moves quickly.
Most supermarkets are adding some office supplies geared toward the home office worker, without "getting too deep into the category," said Charles Yahn, vice president of merchandising for Associated Wholesalers Inc. i

Last Month at the Federal Circuit - June 2001
Judges: Bryson (author), Lourie, and Linn
In Tegal Corp. v. Tokyo Electron Co., No. 00- 1239 (Fed. Cir. May 14, 2001), the Federal Circuit reversed a contempt citation and imposition of sanctions.
Tegal Corporation ("Tegal") sued Tokyo Electron America, Inc. ("TEA") and other Defendants for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 4,464,223 that relates to plasma-etching equipment used in fabricating semiconductor chips. Following a bench trial, the district court had entered judgment against TEA. As part of the relief granted, the district court had enjoined TEA from engaging in any further infringement "or in any way facilitating infringing acts by related corporations or corporate affiliates or corporate parents." (Emphasis added.)
Following entry of the injunction, Tegal filed a petition to show cause, charging that TEA and its parent corporation, Tokyo Electron Company ("TEL"), had violated the court ordered injunction. Specifically, Tegal alleged that TEA and TEL transferred the function of servicing semiconductoretching systems from TEA to Tokyo Electron Massachusetts, Inc. ("TEM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of TEL. The district court agreed, finding both TEA and TEL in contempt of court for violating the injunction.
On appeal, TEA asserted that the district court had abused its discretion, because TEA had failed to stop any of its corporate affiliates from selling or servicing infringing products, which amounted to "facilitating" infringement.
The Federal Circuit disagreed with Tegal, however, and ruled that, absent a showing of control over another party, facilitating infringing acts requires some affirmative act beyond permitting that party to commit infringing acts. The Court noted that Tegal's assertion that inaction may constitute facilitation finds no basis in any legal principle and contradicts the statutory provisions governing active inducement of infringement, which similarly require an affirmative act of some kind.
In reviewing the record, the Federal Circuit concluded that Tegal had not only conceded TEA's inaction in TEM's alleged infringing acts, but also offered no evidence of TEA's control over TEM's activities. The Court, therefore, reversed the contempt citation and sanctions, explaining that the failure to take legal steps that could conceivably prevent particular conduct may permit the conduct to take place, but it does not constitute facilitation.

Parma land Inter stopper
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Internazionale defender Giovanni Pasquale will spend next season at Parma.Internazionale defender Giovanni Pasquale will spend next season on loan at Parma.
The stopper has failed to nail down a regular starting berth at the Giuseppe Meazza and spent the final months of last season on loan at Siena.
Pasquale returned to Milan this summer, but it has proved to be only a brief stop as he will spend next term at Parma.
Parma flirted with relegation last term and they will hope an injection of new blood can help fire them up the Serie A table next term.
Inter, meanwhile, are said to be closing in on the capture of Real Madrid midfielder Santiago Solari - with reports suggesting the Argentine is only a medical away from completing his move to Serie A.

I agree in principle, but I'm not sure how active I will be on 0.9. We are using Forrest again (hurrah!), but there are issues with it that may see us going in a different direction as the project matures (see my original RT thread prior to 0.8 relase). I'll be addressing these issues by resurecting my RT once I have come good on my promise for a release management proposal. This proposal will incorporate a proposal for parallel development on 1.0 and 2.0. > I think this three points can be done before the end of the year where > we should release 0.9. Bahh!!! 6 months is too long. We should be aiming for 0.9 in 3 months tops. The Ivy build will not take long, we can then do integration testing on updated jars, bug fixes from 0.8 and issues we don't want to roll over again (see Davids mail in this thread) will be sufficient for a 0.9 release. We need a much faster release cycle every three months at least. Don't worry I'm going to be proposing a more streamlined release process which includes: - more automation - more automated testing - stable and unstable releases (just like Linux Kernel or Apache HTTPD) One more note, dispatcher is a plugin so it has an independent lifecycle and 0.9 should not be dependent on it. I am in favour of it coming out of whiteboard but not the 0.9 release being dependent on that happening. Ross

I have been reading a lot of posts on this site about first loves, and have come across a lot of unsuccessful stories. This scares me a great deal as I am in love myself with my boyfriend. We both turn 18 this year and are about to leave high school. He is definitely my first ever love and vice versa, but ever since reading these posts about first loves, I've been feeling nervous about us. Are we bound to break up badly, or is there hope? I really would like to hear some success stories as well.
Most Helpful Girl
My first love was when I was 17, Junior year of my high school in Texas. He was older than I was, so he left to college before me. We stayed together for about a year and then broke it off because of distance. But we stayed as friends and kept in touch. We were there for each other when we needed someone the most. I think that's how we became so close. He ended up moving to NY. One summer, he came to visit me. We hit it off again. Now, 3 years later, I am in NY living with him. We just got a Siberian Husky puppy together. We are VERY happy.
If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Don't worry about the negatives and just enjoy what you have right now. You never know what's going to happen next :)11|00|0

L'Eau de Phaedon
Aqueous and Green
L'Eau de Phaedon is a serene and tranquil scent. All ingredients have been cleverly selected to make it suitable for all the family.
The perfume opens with white floral notes of neroli and jasmine, illuminated by fruity notes of yellow mandarin. The combination is suggestive of distinct coolness of an oasis amidst hot sands.
Lush and aqueous agave and aloe vera sooth and cool, leading to a comforting base of blond wood and musk.

Schrodinger and Heisenberg
- In 1925 and 1926 Erwin Schrodinger came up with the theory that electrons are described by wave functions from the measurable properties or the atom.
- The position of a particle or its momentum can be measured as accurately as wanted. But the more accurate one of these measurements is the less accurate the other will be.
- In 1927 Werner Heisenberg came up with the quantum theory. The interaction from the observer and object causes uncontrollable and big changes in the system being observed and this leads to errors and inaccuracy.

- August 12, 1887, Vienna, Austria

This 8-Year-Old Refused To Eat Her Fancy Dinner, The Unexpected Reason Why Left The Whole Restaraunt In Tears
An adorable daddy-daughter date took an unusual turn when the little girl refused to eat her fancy dinner. And the beautiful reason why this 8-year-old demanded to skip dinner is sure to pull on your heartstrings. I promise, you don't want to miss this.
Ella Scott and her daddy were served their food, but everything suddenly changed the moment she looked out the window. Little Ella just couldn't help but notice a homeless man sitting on a bench all alone outside of the Monterey, California restaurant.
Ella's father, Eddie, asked if she thought the man had a place to live, Ella replied no. And without hesitation, little Ella's face lit up as she asked one simple, beautiful question:
"Daddy, can I give him my dinner?"
Promptly after being given permission and without knowledge of whether or not her daddy would buy another meal, Ella jumped to her feet, beyond thrilled to share her scrumptious meal.
The proud father captured the powerful moment on film– and it's almost too beautiful for words.
Ella's father shared the video to Facebook and wrote, "My baby girl Ella learned an important lesson today – Help those less fortunate than you!! So proud of my girl!"
Watch the precious moment in the video below:
In a world consumed with selfishness and greed, this precious little girl's kind gesture reminds us all that it's truly better to give than receive. Thank you, Ella, for reminding the world of what truly matters. May we all learn from this wise little girl's powerful example of generosity. What the world needs now is love, please share if you agree.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." – Ghandi

Next Avanade CEO seeks better business balance
What if your boss were eight time zones away?
That's what Avanade Inc., one of Washington's largest private companies, is about to find out.
On Sept. 1, Adam Warby, the company's London-based general manager for Europe and vice president of sales and marketing, will take the chief executive reins from Mitch Hill, who is stepping down after eight years as the founding CEO.
Warby, who will remain in London, said he isn't daunted about running a Seattle-headquartered company. Today, Avanade has a vast footprint, with people in 22 countries.
"Our employees are all over the world," said Warby. "I think of this as a global company."
Avanade was born in 2000, a joint venture between Microsoft Corp. and Andersen Consulting. Avanade develops corporate IT (information technology) systems using Microsoft's technology platform.
Today, Avanade is 80 percent owned by publicly traded Accenture Ltd. (formerly Andersen Consulting), a multinational tech consulting and outsourcing firm. Microsoft owns about 17 percent of the company, with the original founders making up the rest.
Avanade's business model is heavily dependent on Accenture, which had revenue of about $633.5 million in 2007. About two-thirds of Avanade's revenues come from Accenture, primarily from serving as a subcontractor on Accenture projects. Of Avanade's 8,000-plus staffers, nearly half are Accenture employees on contract to Avanade.
Warby said he'd like to double the amount of business that Avanade does with non-Accenture clients.
"We want a balance in our business," he said. "We can bring in new customers and markets that Accenture isn't in."
Zeus Kerravala, senior vice president of enterprise research at the Yankee Group, a technology research firm in Boston, called Avanade "Accenture through a Microsoft lens" and said Avanade's singular focus on Microsoft products is relatively unique in the IT services world.
He said the IT services market in general is becoming a lot more competitive, with computer giant Hewlett-Packard Co.'s recently announced plan to acquire technology services provider EDS for $13.9 billion -- a merger that would create a huge new player in the IT arena.
At the same time, Kerravala said, the current economic downturn may create more opportunities for IT consultants such as Avanade. Companies undertaking major IT projects want to keep their project costs down, he said, and that means reducing trial and error, which often requires the help of professional IT firms.
"Companies still need to get IT projects done. They can't afford much wasted time and wasted money," he said.

Back in August we wrote about FotoFlexer, an online photo editing service that really stood out in the crowd of other online services. One of the reasons we liked it was because it had some more advanced features comparable to those you'd find in Photoshop or Paint.NET like the ability to have as many layers as you'd like. They also implemented shortcuts that are familiar to most like using Ctrl+Z to undo something that had been done. It appears they're looking to become an even bigger competitor in the market of both online and offline photo editing services by introducing professional tools for users to work with that are free. The service is called FotoFlexer Pro and I think you'll be impressed.
Here are some of the advanced features that you can expect:
- Curves and high resolution editing (adjust coloring, contrast, and exposure)
- Smart scissors for cutting an object out of its background(like the magnetic lasso tool in Photoshop)
- Preference saver (like Photoshop's workspace preferences)
- Color effects (like filters in Photoshop) – they offer quite the selection of different effects including blueprint, neon, grayscale, invert, painting, cartoon, and more
While FotoFlexer Pro doesn't offer enough for it to be a Photoshop replacement, it does add enough to make it the most full-featured photo editing service available on the web that we are aware of. I'm still a big fan of Picnik though and think their interface is more user-friendly and easier to use. The only downside to Picnik is that their premium service costs $24.95 per year. Whether you choose Picnik, FotoFlexer, or any of the other services available, there are a lot of great choices out there to help you edit photos for little to no cost.
Note: FotoFlexer seems to have a few issues in Opera so you may want to use the service in Internet Explorer or Firefox.
