Alexis Bellino Talks 'Exciting' Season of 'Real Housewives' & New Clothing Line (EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS)
Tonight, Bravo debuts the seventh season (!) of The Real Housewives of Orange County (9PM ET), filled with more drama, more tears and, yep, another new housewife.
Earlier today, castmember Alexis Bellino gave Celebuzz the scoop on the brand-new season, including the latest status on her relationship with Peggy Tanous, how long she thinks Orange County will last and the big fight that reduced her to tears.
Meanwhile, Celebuzz is also debuting exclusive pictures from the latest photo shoot for Alexis Couture, which you can check out in our gallery now!
How will Alexis balance being a businesswoman and June Cleaver? What's in store for the future of Alexis Couture and her other fashion line, Alexis by Tal Sheyn? Read about it all in our exclusive interview!
For more on all-things Alexis Bellino, be sure to visit her official website!
Late last year, Peggy announced that she is leaving the show. Was it a relief for you to hear that?
It's so hard, because one day, I wake up and I'm thinking, "What happened? Where did our friendship go wrong? Why did we end up where we are?" And then the next day, I wake up and I've seen an episode of how terrible she was [to me], or I remember something that happened and how it was such a shady friendship the minute she got the show, [which] makes me [think] "Oh my gosh, I'm so glad she's off [the show]." But right now, at this exact moment … I don't put a lot of emphasis on thinking about her. If she was there and she was a part of the show, great. If she's not, great. I wish her well. In the first two episodes, you're gonna see her and I get into it, and it's gonna probably be the last time you'll see us interact together.
I always hope that a friendship can be salvaged, just because I'm kind of a dreamer; I like to think the positive in everything. But at this point, I honestly don't know. I think there's been a lot of things that have occurred over the past year and a half, and I just saw a side of Peggy that – I mean, for her to be able to flip that quickly, like, the minute that she became a member of the show, to just switch and go become good friends with Tamra [Barney], and forget about me. I mean, it was like she was all about the limelight and not really thinking about a true friendship.
What else are we gonna see from you this season?
Well, I have a new job! It's only once a week, the show, but I go to San Diego and I'm called the Celebrity Lifestyle Correspondent [on Fox 5 in San Diego] … I had just started that position, like, three or four weeks before [Real Housewives] even started filming. So, you see me very new, getting involved … It's very exciting! And you see my new dress lines coming out, too.
Orange County is now the longest-running member of the Housewives franchise. How much longer do you think it will last?
I don't know! It's amazing, because we have 16 episodes this season, and Andy Cohen has pegged it as the best Orange County season yet. So, for that to be said, it's almost like we have a new fire. Maybe we have a few more years. I think that all of the housewives and I go in every year thinking, "This is probably the last year," because it's been going so long. But if we can keep the fun and the drama new and the drama real, then who knows how long we can go?
I mean, that is just something that you just – I mean, it took my breath away! I can't picture something like that happening. I am sure the show played a little bit in it, just because your life is exemplified in front of millions [of viewers], and things can be said about you that aren't necessarily true. Once it's out there, people believe it whether it's true or not … But I think, at the end of the day, you have to remember, it's a show, you're here to entertain people. Don't take it too personally. I think that him and Taylor, obviously, had a lot going on, and I just wish it would have had a different ending, you know? You always think, "What if?" And for Taylor, it feels that way.
Tell us about the new Housewife, Heather. Did you all get along with her?
Well, I think that, at the end of the day, when it's all said and done and the season plays out, I think we're all gonna kind of get along with her. Her and Gretchen [Rossi] had a little bit of a tiff at the beginning. Then, Heather and I get into it a little bit in the middle, and then we have a big blow-up in episode 10-ish. So, once that was all said and done, I felt like Heather and I moved past it and pushed everything aside. I can't really tell you what it's about, but I break down in tears and have eyelashes falling off. It's just a nightmare. It's not going to be a pretty episode for me [Laughs] … I think Heather is a little buttoned up. Sometimes, she talks like she knows more about things than other people. But, at the end of the day, I think that she's a really, really sweet person, and I really genuinely like her personality.
It is so crazy! Well, I have two lines. I have Alexis Couture, by myself, where I don't have anyone else working on that with me, except for my production manager … I only have three dresses in that line, because I launched my first dress, the Black-Braid Maxi, last season, and it went like crazy. I sold more of that one dress than all of the dresses than Alexis by Tal Sheyn sold. That dress is still selling, and I'm gonna bring it out in another color … And then I partnered with Tal Sheyn for Alexis by Tal Sheyn, because she was designing one-of-a-kinds for me, and I had a vision for what I wanted to do. There's only one of me, and I couldn't do it! So, together with her, we came up with my first Alexis by Tal Sheyn line. That one did really, really well. Now, we're launching my second one, and now my second one is doing better than my first one even did and it hasn't even launched yet! We're out there marketing it. It hasn't launched on the show, but it is just crazy! It's so exciting!
Is the goal to eventually open up your own store?
We just started looking for retail spaces to have a showroom. We are in boutiques now. We're in one in Orange County, and we've almost solidified two or three in Los Angeles. And then we're even looking at go overseas. Israel is very interested; Australia is very interested. We have a lot of customers from Europe. We're just getting our feet into those markets and we're gonna be in boutiques throughout the United States and throughout the world.
It's such a dichotomy, because I still am the June Cleaver. If you see me at home, [you'll see that] I do have a maid that comes once a week, or once every eight days. I do have an assistant who helps me. We have a sitter who comes and babysits. But for the most part, I'm still doing it all! I still make dinner five nights a week when I'm not traveling or working late in L.A. I still fold the laundry. I still get my kids up for breakfast and make breakfast before school, drop them off at school, pick them up at school and volunteer at school. So, I'm still very hands-on, and I'm not willing to give that up … I don't want these years to pass me by and look back and go, "Oh my gosh, I didn't get to volunteer at school. I wasn't there for James' football. I wasn't there to take the girls to dance." I'm still very traditional in my values, and I still believe that the way the family unit works best is to put God first, your husband second, or your spouse second, and then your children third. I just feel like everything falls into place under that.
Will we get to see Alexis Couture on this season of Real Housewives?
Yes! You guys actually get to see how I do the dresses from Alexis Couture. I have a little freelance pattern maker I use [who you'll see]. I have a production manager, who you don't see, but you get to see that she's shipped me the dresses, just so I don't have to come up to L.A. every single day … You guys see me try that on in my own home, in front of my kids, [where] I'm like, "Do you like it? Do you like it!?" You get to see kind of the birth of it; how the dress starts and how the dress ends. And then you do see the photo shoot with Alexis by Tal Sheyn. After last year's photoshoot, I was like, "I will never do another photoshoot where I am the model!" But she talked me into it, and I did it!
What does your husband think of the line?
He loves it! He loves it. He's proud of me. He thinks I'm doing really well.
How is your new home? I saw a tour of it on Bravo's website.
Yeah, but they didn't even do it to justice! It's a huge, 7,000 square-foot oceanview home. It is spectacular. We love it. I don't know what the whole tour thing was, but they left out all my favorite parts. We have an elevator, a movie theater. It's beautiful!
Lastly, what are you doing for Valentine's Day?
This is so funny, because we just made our plans. We have two good groups of friends that we're going to go out with, but not on February 14. I'm actually going to get a peel done on my face [that day], because I haven't had any maintenance done in, like, eight months. So, I'm gonna get a deep facial … We're celebrating [Valentine's Day] on February 25 with our friends. [Laughs] … That's what a busy businesswoman-slash-mom does. When you have a week off, you take advantage of that moment! [Laughs]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Pepperdine women's golf team suffered a heartbreaking end to its season on Saturday as the Waves finished in ninth place at the NCAA East Regional, just one stroke behind eighth-place Campbell.
Equally saddening was the end of senior Grace Na's career, as the three-time All-American and four-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year came up just short of advancing to the NCAA Championships when she lost in a playoff for the final individual spot.
The Waves shot a 293 on Saturday at the par-72 SouthWood Golf Course and finished with a 16-over 880 (290-297-293). For a while it didn't appear that the Waves would be that close to a top-eight finish, but once Pepperdine's round was done, at least a couple of teams still on the course during the morning wave faltered coming down the stretch. Campbell almost did the same, but finished with a 298 on the day and a total of 879, allowing the Camels to hold on and edge Pepperdine for the eighth and final qualifying spot for the NCAA Championships.
When the morning wave finished, it still looked good for Na (Alameda, Calif./Alameda HS) to advance as one of the top two low-scoring players from the non-qualifying teams. She and East Tennessee State's Gabriella Wahl both finished with 4-under 212s, and there wasn't another player still on the course within several strokes.
However, Baylor's Hayley Davis shot a 5-under 67 in the afternoon, allowing her to finish in a tie for second place with a 6-under 210 and jumping her ahead of both Na and Wahl.
After sitting and waiting for several hours for the afternoon wave to finish, Na and Wahl went back out to the course for a playoff that would determine the second qualifier. Unfortunately for the Na and the Waves, Wahl eagled the par-5 fourth hole to win the playoff.
Na wound up in a tie for seventh place with her 4-under 212 (69-72-71). Her 1-under 71 on Saturday included three birdies. It was the 37th below-par round of her career, leaving Na just one shy of the school record held by Katherine Hull. It was her 14th of the season, tying her with Hull for the most ever in one season.
Gonzaga shot a 219 in the final round and jumped two spots to finish 20th in the NCAA West Regional at Tumble Creek Club at Suncadia Resort Sunday. The Bulldogs finished with a final tally of 954 (317, 319, 318) to wrap up its second straight postseason appearance.
Raychelle Santos paced Gonzaga with a 3-over 75 in the final round. As a team, the Bulldogs carded 10 birdies, the majority coming on the back nine. WCC Championship medalist Alice Kim and T. J. Kliebphipat tied for the team's top finish in a share of 79th place at 238.

Stand Up Paddle (SUP) in Huntington Harbor
Rate this Adventure Orange County › Huntington Harbor
Added by Sassy Resuello
Harbor location makes it easy for beginners, because there aren't any waves to topple you over. Great for an upper-body workout, with a very relaxing ambiance.
Huntington Harbor is the perfect location for an easy and relaxing stand up paddle board session. Here you will get to enjoy the view of the houses by the harbor, some boats sailing by, and some low bridges you'll have to paddle through while ducking on your board (fun!).
There are several stores close to the harbor, which offer board rentals as well as classes. If you're a beginner, I highly recommend trying this out. You will not have to worry about falling off, because there are no waves that get in your way, just calm waters. When your arms get tired, you can simply lie on your board without worrying about floating in the middle of the ocean.
Once done, you can grab a bite in one of the restaurants near Sunset Beach, along Pacific Avenue, and you can also wait for the sun to set near the shore line.

Being inclined to hyperbole, politicians and economic development officials have done a lot of talking these past few years about the need to continue Fort Wayne's momentum by investing in "transformational" projects.
Parkview Field is beautiful and has attracted more investment downtown, but at the cost of the fairly new and perfectly functional stadium it replaced. A new downtown arena would be nice, but even supporters admit it's a want, not a need. The rivers will be here no matter how much we spend to improve their banks.
But with Monday's announcement of a proposed $300 million redevelopment of the hulking, vacant 31-acre General Electric campus just south of downtown, the hype is justified. In my 38 years as a journalist in this town, only General Motors' decision to build a 3,000-employee, $500 million truck plant in Southwest Allen County in the mid-1980s rivals this project's potential for boosting the city's economy, image and self-esteem. It's that big a deal.
But not yet, of course. Most of the funding has not been secured, and although a substantial amount of private capital has been promised, the large amount of government subsidy anticipated will be thoroughly scrutinized and debated, as it should be. And with more than 1 million square feet to fill, not a single tenant has yet been signed.
Doden should know, because Fort Wayne might not even be competing for the dollars and shops, restaurants, apartments and other businesses needed to fill the sprawling campus if not for his direct involvement over the past three years.
In 2010, Doden's predecessor openly suggested GE was unmotivated to do anything with its dormant campus because redevelopment might require removal of hazardous materials left over from the production of motors, transformers and other products — possibly at the company's expense.
Company spokesman Matt Conkrite said GE has spent the past few years conducting testing and reviewing proposals and "is confident the vision articulated by Cross Street for the entire campus should benefit both the local community and meet the needs of the local market."
But in his former role as head of the Indiana Economic Development Corp., Doden had worked with GE on other projects, developing relationships that proved invaluable during efforts to move redevelopment of the local campus forward. It was also in that role that Doden helped create the Regional Cities program that is making $42 million available for projects in 11 northeast Indiana counties — some of which no doubt will be requested for the GE project.
"I had GE in mind when we were doing Regional Cities," Doden acknowledged.
Eventually, those conversations with GE also included Cross Street Partners, a Baltimore firm with experience in similarly massive industrial makeovers, including the American Tobacco Campus in Durham, N.C. When principal Josh Parker visited Fort Wayne and saw the campus for the first time two years ago, he was blown away.
"I knew Fort Wayne was in Indiana, but that was about it," he said. "When I saw the campus, I was in love. There's much work to be done, and we're arriving just before Fort Wayne hits its 'tipping point.' I won't stop until Fort Wayne is one of the best places in America."
One project can't do that, of course, but its very magnitude makes the potential undeniable, especially when you remember that redevelopment would give us something we don't already have while replacing huge swaths of crumbling industrial eyesores with new apartments, shops, businesses, a hotel and other attractions that could bring thousands of people downtown every day and, possibly, keep and attract the skilled residents the area needs to compete for new high-paying jobs.
"I dreamed about this day for some time," said City Councilman Geoff Paddock, who led community discussions about the future of the GE property. "This is more about people that it is real estate. Neighborhoods in the area flourished when GE did, and the potential is almost unimaginable."
"This will be a great anchor for the southern part of West Central," said Ben Wahli, president of the nearby neighborhood known for its restored historic homes and, perhaps one day soon, a restored industrial complex that not too long ago seemed as though time had passed it by.
So, by all means, celebrate the start of the race. Because now the work really begins.

More Information
What about that sign?
What the proposed project means for the iconic rooftop General Electric sign that was a fixture for so many years is unclear. The GE logo has been moved to a plant in Ohio, and company spokesman Matt Conkrite said the letters are still stored in a building on the local campus "and there are no further plans for them at this time."

Setters are the leaders on the court for their volleyball team; they communicate strategies to their teammates for each point. Hand signals are usually made behind the back by the players, prior to the serve in order to conceal them from the opposing team. Each hand refers to the type of block that the players will set on the corresponding side of the court.
Just as the hand signals, the best volleyball shoes for men and women hold same level of importance in the game. So be sure to invest in them accordingly.
Zone Serving Signals
Few coaches allow their setters to choose the zones each server should attack. The setters use their fingers to communicate the zones. If the setter flashes one finger behind his/ her back, the serve delivers the ball to the Zone 1, or right back. Two fingers indicate Zone 2, or right front. Zone 3 is middle front, Zone 4 is left front and Zone 5 is left back. To indicate Zone 6 or middle back, setters flash their thumb.
Simpler Serving Signals
Sometimes coaches prefer to tell their servers to serve to a more general area of the court instead of a specific zone. To serve to the right side of the court, setters show their right thumb behind their back to communicate to the team. Showing the left thumb means serving to the left side. To serve down the center of the court, the setter flashes both thumbs. To serve a weak passer on the right side of the court, a setter can shake his right hand. Shaking a left hand lets the serve know to serve to a struggling passer on the left side.
Quick Set Signals
The setters can use signals to tell the hitters what types of set they will execute on a particular play. For example, the setter points his index finger up to signify a vertical quick set, or one set is coming. A pinky finger if pointing up- indicates a vertical quick set to the right- side hitter (also known as a back one set), if pointing sideways- means a back-slide attack using a horizontal quick set. A hand brushing down the middle of the chest designates a pipe set to the back-row hitter who is positioned in the middle of the court.
High Set Signals
Hand signals can also be used when calling plays for high sets. For a high set to Zone 1, the setter flashes one finger and then flashes two fingers. The hitter will then call out "12" to confirm the play call. The setter shows two fingers and then flashes two fingers again for a "22" high set to Zone 2. Three fingers followed by two fingers communicates a "32" high set to Zone 3. A "42" is a high set to Zone 4, A "52" is a high set to Zone 5. For a "62" high set to Zone 6, the setter uses her thumb to represent six followed by two fingers.

Joey Rico and Randy Dixon are no strangers to porn. They conversed about their prior adult film careers and then decided to start the scene off with a friendly rub down. Randy got on top of Joey and started to work his back. Joey started to get frisky and slipped Randy on his back and started to rub his chest. This led to some kissing and finally Joey pulled out Randy's dick and began to suck it. They 69'd each other and got their dicks hard and wet. Then Randy pushed Joey up against a mirror. He knelt down and rimmed his tight latin hole. You could see the tattoos on his body quiver as he melted with every lap of Randy's tongue. Finally Randy raised up and slid his raw dick inside of Joey. Joey screamed out in pain and pleasure. After some doggie style fucking, Joey wanted a piece of Randy's ass. He laid down on the bed and Randy rode his stiff cock. Finally randy got on his back and begged to have the cum fucked out of him. After shooting his load, Joey could not hold back and started cumming inside of Randy before he could even pull out. This is some hot latin muscle fucking going on. And we got it all for you in full HD. Randy blue, the best gay porn around.

As a coach, consultant, educator, and speaker, I have the opportunity to work with people at different stages of their entrepreneurial journeys. The most challenging type of entrepreneur I've encountered is the dino-preneur. These are entrepreneurs who continue to exert a great deal of energy trying to bring life to exhausted ideas. Their ideas were awesome—twenty years ago. Today's world, however, is much…Continue

If you are in need of referrals, then create a referral blurb. This is a prepared e-mail template that you can send to associates and partners for them to forward to people they know that could perhaps benefit from your services. By supplying the e-mail, you are not putting the burden on the person you are asking to give you a referral to take the time to create an e-mail to send. As you know, everyone is busy, so the easier you make it for someone, the more chances you have of them actually…Continue

You took the time to go to a networking event and now you have a pocketful of business cards. Most of the time you toss them on the table and never look back. Or, you reach out once and give up. You wonder why you even bothered to go to the event. You talked to a lot of great people, but you don't feel it helped you get any closer to obtaining clients.
To get the full benefits of going to a network event, you must do the work required after attending the event! This is where many…

The gym where my wife and I work out is adjacent to a school zone for a very large high school. This morning, like almost every other weekday morning, I watched as the crossing guard parked, put on his florescent vest, strapped on his whistle, and made his way to the intersection. He was ready for action. However, there was a problem. You see, yesterday was the last day of school for our county. There were no students.…Continue

Within ten years of starting, nearly 75% of small business will fail, so it's easy to understand why small businesses cannot make expensive mistakes. Generally speaking, a lot of owners will have to shut the doors due to a lack of cash. A quarter of them will shut the door before the end of year one and close to 50% will leave the market before the end of…Continue

Imagine two lightbulbs sitting in a light fixture and one says to the other, "Someday, I want to be a lightbulb." (yes, they can talk. We're imagining, remember?)
And imagine the other one saying, "You ARE a lightbulb. Just flip the switch." So he flips the switch and light bursts forth.
Now, before we start running down the philosophical rabbit trail about when he became a lightbulb—was it when he was created or when he was illuminated—all I'm suggesting is that on the…Continue

One of my friends decided a few years back she was tired of not seeing the beautiful blooms in her yard that all the neighbors had. Armed with bulbs and seeds ordered from a gardening catelog and every tool imaginable from the local landscaping center, she set out to get her garden going.
Midway through the summer, even after much love, attention and fertilizing she really was not much closer to the garden of her dreams. " I just don't get it, she told a group of us one night, I did…Continue

pharmacological inhibition of ITK resulted in T cell hyperplasia and the increased production of TH2-type cytokines.
ITK and BTK (show BTK Antibodies) regulate thermal homeostasis during septic response through mast cell function in mice.
Taken together, these data indicate that ITK plus RLK (show TXK Antibodies) inhibition may have therapeutic potential in Th1 (show HAND1 Antibodies)-mediated inflammatory diseases.
This work has important implications for understanding the role of Itk signaling in the development versus function of iNKT cells, Th1 (show HAND1 Antibodies), Th2, and Th17 cells.
The kinase Itk and the adaptor TSAd (show SH2D2A Antibodies) change the specificity of the kinase Lck (show LCK Antibodies) in T cells by promoting the phosphorylation of Tyr192.
Data indicate that the interleukin-2 (show IL2 Antibodies) inducible tyrosine kinase (show TYRO3 Antibodies) K390R point mutation (Itk-KD) transgenic mice were largely protected from inflammatory symptoms in an Ovalbumin (show OVA Antibodies) model of airway inflammation.
The Itk pleckstrin (show PLEK Antibodies) homology domain binds to Calmodulin (show Calm2 Antibodies) and PI(3,4,5)Pto promote efficient calcium signaling and IL-17A (show IL17A Antibodies) production.
Signaling by Itk promotes autoimmunity and CNS inflammation.
ITK thus regulates the development and function of Tregs.
Data indicate that the IL2-inducible T-cell kinase itk(-/-) innate zinc finger protein 145 PLZF (show ZBTB16 Antibodies)(+)CD4 (show CD4 Antibodies)(+) T cells express alphabeta TCRs, neither beta2-microglobulin-dependent MHC class I nor any MHC class II molecules are required for their development.
The data indicate that increased ITK expression could act as a disease activity marker and as a risk factor for involvement in SLE, but it still needs further study to confirm.
We conclude that ITK, formerly considered an immune cell-specific protein, is aberrantly expressed in melanoma and promotes tumor development and progression
Found that 38% and 14% of the Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma cases exhibited gains of ITK and SYK (show SYK Antibodies) genes, respectively.
These data indicate that PRN694 is a highly selective and potent covalent inhibitor of ITK and RLK (show TXK Antibodies), and its extended target residence time enables durable attenuation of effector cells in vitro and in vivo.
approach identified 18 kinase and kinase-related genes whose overexpression can substitute for EGFR (show EGFR Antibodies) in EGFR (show EGFR Antibodies)-dependent PC9 (show PCSK9 Antibodies) cells, and these genes include seven of nine Src (show SRC Antibodies) family kinase genes, FGFR1 (show FGFR1 Antibodies), FGFR2 (show FGFR2 Antibodies), ITK, NTRK1 (show NTRK1 Antibodies), NTRK2 (show NTRK2 Antibodies), MOS (show MOS Antibodies), MST1R (show MST1R Antibodies), and RAF1 (show RAF1 Antibodies).
ITK deficiency is a genetic cause of idiopathic CD4 (show CD4 Antibodies)+ T-cell lymphopenia.
Data indicate reduced T-cell activation by altered IL-2 inducible T-cell kinase (ITK) expression in vitro.
T-cell-specific human ITK-Syk (show SYK Antibodies) oncogene (show RAB1A Antibodies) in mice leads to early polyclonal T cell lymphoproliferation (show FAS Antibodies) with B cell expansion. It induces terminal T cell differentiation via Blimp-1 (show PRDM1 Antibodies), eliminating oncogene (show RAB1A Antibodies)-expressing cells early in development.
Case Report/Letter: ITK/SYK (show SYK Antibodies) translocation in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.

"Registering with a GP practice"
About: Merseyside Merseyside
Posted by frustration (as ),
I was asked by a friend if I could register him at our local Gp practice, Aintree park group practice. I said of course no problem. Having worked in a GP practice for over 15 years I was aware of how to register. On arriving to the surgery and asking for registration forms I was asked to provided proof of address! I asked why this is and was told that this was practice policy yet I think this is in violation of human rights asked. I did ask again to be sure that this is policy of there practice and was told that they have done this all the time. I also informed them of my experience and that I had been made aware that this was not the case anymore but they continued to say it was there practice policy. I find the upsetting that people who are trying to engage with health care for help before before reaching the medical carers are challenged with this question. Why aren't all GP services following the same guidelines that you are providing?

McDonald's ( MCD) was upgraded Wednesday on excitement of the expansion of McCafe, sending shares up more than 4% in afternoon trading. Deustsche Bank analyst Jason West upgraded the fast-food chain to buy from hold, saying it could receive a boost in the second half of the year. McCafe now has more than 10,000 locations, compared to 1,000 the same time last year. The company began promoting its espresso drinks on TV, radio, print and outdoor ads earlier this month as part of a $100 million marketing campaign. Easing commodity and currency pressures are also likely to help results, West added, and the stock price is at a good entry point. "With the stock now boasting an all-time high dividend yield and an improving earnings outlook, we believe shares are as attractive as they've been in quite some time," he wrote, while increasing his price target to $65 from $60. Last week, Jim Cramer said stocks in the restaurant sector, which
have been in the doghouse , are making a comeback. He cited McDonald's as "the way to go" within the sector.

ABC's Good Morning America started off Wednesday's broadcast in a frantic mood, complaining over and over again about President Trump's verbal attacks on the media at last night's rally in Phoenix, Arizona. Instead of taking these typical knocks from Trump in stride, ABC went in full on Chicken Little mode, worrying that his words would "incite" one of his supporters to physically attack one of their own. "It really feels like a matter of time frankly before someone gets hurt," Senior White House Correspondent Cecilia Vega fretted.
Fighting a brave battle against CNN's emotionally hysterical, overwhelmed, and triggered liberals after Tuesday's Trump rally, CNN political commentator and former RNC official Mike Shields thoroughly lambasted his colleagues losing their minds for spending time "chiming in that we just think the President is insane" and deeming him mentally ill.
Immediately following President Donald Trump's fiery campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, CNN completely dropped their thin façade of an objective news organization. In the wake of the address, there were many cries on CNN Tonight accusing the President of being truly out of his mind and unfit to hold the office of the president. Host Don Lemon declared that Trump was "clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country." But he wasn't the only one who was off the wall.
CNN Tonight led the way in providing the left's response to Tuesday's Trump rally in Arizona, openly rooting for the President's removal from office. It was all kickstarted by host Don Lemon's rant immediately afterward denouncing Trump as a unstable, unintelligent child attacking "an imaginary friend."
Perhaps the writers at The Bold Type have been reading the many stories posted here on Newsbusters about their extreme leftist slant and inappropriate material for teens and are feeling guilty for their typical, liberal Hollywood ways. Because Tuesday, August 22's episode, "The End of the Beginning" took a shocking turn for the better by introducing a likeable, black, male conservative character. Well, the likeable part lasted for about five seconds.
Throughout President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, MSNBC's The Last Word would break away from the live video in order to do on-the-fly commentary, which often included attacking the President on what he was saying. Towards the end of the of the 10 o'clock hour, host Lawrence O'Donnell left the Trump rally behind to really give his stacked liberal panel a good go at Trump and his supporters.
On Tuesday's All In, recurring MSNBC guest and Slate columnist Michelle Goldberg asserted that President Donald Trump is going to Phoenix "in the hopes of starting a riot" as she declared that his motivations for holding rhe rally were "sick." Host Chris Hayes then likened President Trump to a "Molotov cocktail" visiting the city.
The "anti-fascist" or "Antifa" movement is justifying violent action in the streets to beat back racists and neo-Nazis. Violence – not as an accidental outburst, but as an explicit strategy – used to be seen as a beyond-the-pale extreme. Now Chuck Todd & Co. are ushering Antifa's extreme into polite society. The NBC referees believe rioting is worth at least some respect as a way to jolt the debate to the left.
President Trump was renowned for his prolific and infamous use of Twitter to both aid his message and to stir up controversy. But during Tuesday's The Lead on CNN, host Jake Tapper tried to link someone else's Instagram controversy to the President. The controversy was sparked by Louise Linton, the wife of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who got into a heated exchange over a comment left on an Instagram photo.
From the "Hello, darkness, my old friend ... I've come to talk with you again" files:
ESPN has drop-kicked one of its college football broadcasters from the Virginia vs. William & Mary game, on Sept. 2, for no reason other than his name is "Robert Lee." This is no joke. ESPN really is that sensitive and that PC. That childish, too, for that matter.
MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews left viewers on Tuesday night with a rather disturbing image of Matthews grunting and stretching while giving his best Incredible Hulk impression ahead of a Phoenix Trump rally that he insinuated could turn violent. The Atlantic's Rosie Gray was noting the difference between Trump with a Teleprompter versus without when Matthews interjected that the latter is "[w]hen his Incredible Hulk thing grows in him."
Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks recently called on Whites in the NFL to support Blacks in their protests against racism. The initial response of Whites has fallen far short of what a Marxist university professor considers acceptable and gives him cause to make a case for excessive white guilt. Furman University Professor of Education P.L. Thomas pushed the white guilt angle in a Huffington Post diatribe titled "Progressive, White Athletes Must Learn How To Stand In Solidarity."
Most people across the country have little trust in the "mainstream media" due to unchecked errors and false reporting, but on Tuesday, Mike Wise -- a former Washington Post columnist who's now with ESPN's The Undefeated -- joined that group when he was disciplined for posting false quotes in an attempt to prove people will believe anything published online.
Conservative author, and anti-Donald Trump pundit, P.J. O'Rourke appeared on MSNBC, Tuesday, to say something pleasing to MSNBC types. Talking about the President's upcoming rally in Phoenix, O'Rourke attacked, "Oh, I think the President is going to use humor tonight. He's going to come out in a bed sheet with a Tiki torch."
Throughout the day on Tuesday, MSNBC sounded the alarm that President Trump's planned rally in Phoenix, Arizona could lead to violence. Hour after hour, hosts, pundits, and correspondents hyped "concerns about people's safety" and the "combustible situation" that was supposedly being created by the presidential visit.

One of the first things to consider is what size of ukulele you would like to play.
The soprano ukulele is probably the most popular size of ukulele. It is the smallest of the four standard sizes, known for the bright, jangly sound it produces that people commonly associate with ukuleles. These typically have 12-15 frets and have a standard tuning of GCEA.
Concert ukuleles have 15-20 frets and a larger body, giving you a larger range of notes and fuller sound than the soprano. Concert (and tenor) ukuleles are also typically tuned to the standard GCEA tuning.
Tenor ukuleles are larger than concert and soprano ukuleles, which means they tend to have a fuller, louder sound. Some performers prefer tenor ukuleles since they have more frets and can produce a wider range of notes.
Baritone ukuleles are the largest of the different ukulele models, and produce a warm, full sound that is similar to that of a guitar. These ukuleles are also tuned similarly to a guitar (DGBE). Although you can strum a baritone just like any other ukulele, they are especially great for fingerpicking, or playing more "blues style" music.
Check out the video below to see (and hear) the difference between soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone ukuleles.
Many factors beyond body size affect the quality, sound, and price of your ukulele. One of the most important factors is the materials your ukulele is constructed out of.
As with guitars, ukuleles can be made out of a variety of materials - and the type wood your ukulele is made out of can effect both the look and sound of the instrument.
Find out more about the differences between solid and laminate ukuleles in this video:
The strings on your ukulele can also affect how it sounds. Many players swear by Aquila Nylgut strings, which are now included with all Kala and Lanikai ukuleles. These strings are made of a synthetic material called Nylgut that couples the playability and consistency of nylon guitar strings with the warm tone of traditional gut-stringed instruments.
Check out the video below to find out more about Aquila Nylgut strings:
TIP: You can always change out the strings on your ukulele so don't feel committed to a certain type of strings just because that's what your ukulele came with.
Here are some of our favorite beginner ukuleles - these are well-built but affordable instruments that will provide you with the perfect foundation for your ukulele journey!
It is important to find a ukulele that is a good "fit" for you. This refers not only to the size of the instrument, but how it complements your individual style and tastes. We'll leave you with a few truly unique ukuleles which are perfect if you're looking for something a bit more unconventional.
For the outdoorsy type, a Kala Waterman ukulele makes a great gift. Whether they plan on taking it along to outdoor gigs, or just playing at the pool, these ukuleles are made of a durable polycarbonate that will hold up against the elements, and they sound great too!
The Luna Tattoo Ukulele features a cool pineapple body shape and "tattoo" design which integrate shapes and symbols that represent the natural island world, including waves and shark teeth.
The Kala Rumbler U-Bass has the ability to produce the same pitches as a standard bass instrument due to specially-designed strings. These super portable bass ukuleles have a truly unique sound and include a pickup system with active EQ and built in tuner.
All prices are in USD.

Hello beauties!!! I hope you're all well! I cannot explain how happy and relieved I am to be writing this post right now. Last two weeks have possibly been the most stressful and frustrating time in the 3+ years that I've had this site. In a nutshell, I woke up one morning and my site was gone! (enter crickets singing here). If during the down time, you attempted to visit the site, you've probably seen a big "Can't access this site" sign plastered on your screen. It was offline for 10 days! In cyber world that almost equals a whole month; and to me…it felt like a whole year! Without getting into technical jargon, my now "ex" hosting company has let me down big time! With no proper support, assistance and clearly no regard for me or my site as a client, they've subjected me to an unacceptable ordeal I never want to go through again. I always feel I have a responsibility towards all of you (and the companies I associate with) to be as professional as possible. I built this site from scratch myself, with sweat and tears. I work extremely hard to bring honest, good quality and helpful content. Being forced into circumstances beyond my control, especially in a manner which totally clashes with my personal work ethics has been the hardest part to deal with. Fast forward to today, I'm happy to announce I've changed hosting companies and back in business – hopefully never to go through such an unpleasant and embarrassing ordeal again. I truly apologise to every single one of you for any inconvenience caused within this time period. Thank you all for still being here, your understanding, patience and loyalty. I really appreciate it.

Chapter 6
Callum pulled away from Dustin. He smiled at his young lover, giving him soft, loving eyes. He reached up with one hand and cupped it under Dustin's chin. Dustin smiled back at Callum, with deep appreciation of this man before him, his one true love.
"Dress yourself." Callum said, in a soft voice, " Then come down and join us for supper." Callum smiled. "The evening is upon us. And then after we are finished, I want to sate my lust for you, here, in our bed."
"Our bed?" Dustin asked, thinking about it. He looked over at it, then smiled.
"Yes, our bed." Callum said, grasping the youth's arm, turning him to face Callum. "This will always be 'our' bed. I will take you over and over again in it."
"I look forward to that." Dustin said in a cooing voice.
"Now, dress yourself." Callum said, and then turned and walked out, leaving Dustin there only with his thoughts.
Callum entered the kitchen, and looked about him. Martha was busy setting the touches to the table. There was a bowl of steaming stew, a board with sliced fresh baked bread, and place settings for three. Callum brought his gaze to her. He smiled, looking her over. Her tattered dress, her old apron, her grey hair, and sad tired eyes. He had grown very fond of her since yesterday, and their first meeting after so many years. She reminded him of his mother, but, yet she was different. He was pleased, very pleased that she was accepting of the way that he and Dustin were toward each other, giving him no restraint or side glances of the fact. Was this love that he felt toward her? A love of a son toward a mother? Perhaps. He knew that he would explore that later. For now, she made the house comfortable, and a home to him, and his love. His thoughts ran to the ship, his ship, the Dover. Could he be like this aboard her? Passionate toward his love? Expressive? He doubted it.
English sea Captains were something to be feared and respected. Above all else, aboard ship, and at sea, they were the law, and sometimes God himself. Not to be questioned, only to be obeyed. Their power was absolute, pure, and without question. The crew would always follow orders, it was expected. And if not, punishment was to be exacted, brutal, concise, to control order. And truly, that is what it came down to, control.
On a Ship of War, each and every man had a duty to perform, a purpose, and if there was no order, no 'control', all could be lost, including the ship itself, at the precise moment. Callum had witnessed it, experienced it, when he taken the two French frigates. The first, with ease, as he took 'control' by fooling the French Captain, the second was by purely better sailing and firing. Again, that came down to 'control', knowing how your vessel works, knowing how is handles in any sea, knowing how your men work together, a 'controlled' pattern to make things mesh. Callum understood it, and how he understood, was from the tutelage of Captain Powers.
Captain Powers was unlike any man Callum had ever known before. He had a commanding presence, just being near him made you respect him. Never a cross word came from his lips. He was supportive of his men, knowing there bounds and limitations, and like a true commander of men, knew how to motivate them, to make them excel beyond their limits. Callum so admired Captain Powers that he strove to emulate him and his actions. He was intelligent enough to know that he had to put his own personality into those emulations, and soon gained the entire respect of the crew. Callum was fair and impartial toward the men, as Powers was. Respect, Callum learned, was earned, that was due to the writings of one particular individual, one, Benjamin Franklin, a revolutionary from the previous Colonies, but nonetheless, a most brilliant man, who spoke on this point with great length. Callum read everything from him and his hand. Everything Franklin said was true. Callum saw it time after time. He changed the way Callum thought, even though it was not condoned by the Admiralty.
Powers always told Callum not to make friends with the crew, that they needed to respect him to maintain order and control. 'Men need that in order to function under fire.', Powers constantly told Callum that. He found it to be true. 'Firm, yet compassionate', the words of Franklin. Callum was able to blend them together to make his men respond. He really didn't like to say that they 'loved' him, but he knew down deep, that if he had to, if it came down to it, he could order them to their deaths and they would obey.
Callum smiled, as he sat down at the table, closing his thoughts off. He looked up at her, standing in front of him, her hands on her hips, looking sternly at him. He knew that he had missed something that she had said. He gave her apologetic eyes.
"Honestly, Quintan. Did you not hear me?"
"Aunt Martha, forgive me. I was lost in thought. Please,..." Callum held out a hand toward her.
She half smiled, and took his hand. "Master Perkins."
"What about him?" Callum, looking lost.
"Do you have any idea what is keeping him?"
"When I left him, he was trying to dress. Shall I go and fetch him?"
"Only if he wants something hot to..." Her voice trailed as Dustin walked in the kitchen.
"I am sorry to be late. I was having trouble with my pantlet. It would seem that the button holes have shrunk down." Callum and Martha looked at him, and then toward themselves and they both chuckled. "Did I say something?" Dustin looked back and forth between them. Callum turned in his chair.
"Have a seat, lad." Callum said, still chuckling.
The three sat at the table, setting out their supper. Dustin ate, as if it were going to be his last meal on Earth. Martha kept giving him side glances, as the conversation went back and forth between Martha and Callum. She asked what he had been so lost in thought over, and he related it to her. She understood him better now, hearing what he said. A tear welled in her eye. Callum looked at her with a quizzical look.
"So much responsibility for being so young. I feel they place too much on our young men."
"It is for a reason, you know, Aunt Martha."
"And what reason could be so important to make a young man into an old one before his time?"
"It is for the safeguard of our way of life, our freedom against a tyrant that would rule the world with an iron fist, taking everything that we hold dear, making us live under his way, and his rule."
"Do you speak of the King, or of Napoleon?"
"That is treason."
"It is an opinion, good sir. And you know it."
"I serve in the King's Navy."
"I am aware of where and of whom you serve. It has kept you from your home and your family for years."
"And, your point, my dear?"
"Is...not to trade one tyrant for another. Simply that."
Callum was angered by what she had said, but slowly eased up, something Franklin had written, 'never to go to bed angry'. Callum smiled softly. "I see your point. I serve whom I serve. It affords me a life that I enjoy."
"To that, I understand." She replied. "But, when does it end?"
"When this war is over. We shall return here, and never return to the sea."
Her eyes welled. "Truly, Quintan, truly?"
"Truly, my dear. Life here is good, and I could become quite used to it. It is not as exciting as life aboard ship, but it has its...pleasant aspects." Callum reached out a hand and took hers, lying on the table. "Mostly it has to do with you, and your company."
"Ohhh, what a charmer you are." She said in high pitched tone, "Just like your father. He was a charmer as well." Martha leaned toward Dustin. "You need to watch him closely. He might charm your watch out of your pocket."
"I believe he already has." Dustin said, with his mouth full. Martha and Callum laughed out loud. Callum placing his hand on Dustin's shoulder, patting him.
"Well done, ...well done." Callum laughed.
Martha lifted the tips of her aprons and dried her eyes. She got up from the table, picking up dishes, looking at the pot of water on the stove, that was slightly steaming. She carried the dishes she had over to the dry sink and set them on the counter. She turned round and watched as Callum was carrying the last of them toward her. She reached out and took them from him.
"I will go and fetch the wash off the line then." Callum said. "I do not wish to have the dew on them in the morning."
"I will do that, my boy."
"Now, now, my dear. I think you have done more than enough today. A fine supper, that stretched my belly, washing, cleaning, surveying young men bathing," Callum winked at her. "I would say it was a full day for you."
"Well, the highlight of the day was the bathing." She returned the wink. "I suppose I should retire. Leave all as it is. I shall take care of it in the morning. Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight, that is, if there is not too much noise in the house."
"Was there last night? I think not." Callum said, quickly.
Martha looked at Dustin, who was blushing beet red. "It was the absence of noise that kept awake."
"I see." Callum said, leaning down, kissing her forehead. "Go off to bed, you devil."
She chuckled, and slapped his butt as she walked by. She gave Dustin a kiss on the cheek as she walked by him, making him blush again. He got to his feet as she walked out. Then he looked at Callum.
"She's a treasure, isn't she?" Dustin asked in a low tone.
"That she is indeed. I wish I had a dozen of her. The problems of the country would be solved with her wisdom and her heart."
"I truly agree." Dustin smiled as he stepped toward Callum. Callum put a hand on Dustin's shoulder, and leaned in, kissing Dustin. Dustin melted to him, wrapping his arms around Callum's chest and back. Dustin kissed Callum passionately, trying, it seemed, to climb inside of him. Callum wrapped his arms around his love, drawing him nearer, kissing him back just as passionately. Their embrace lasted for what seemed an eternity to them. Then Dustin pulled back from Callum.
"Should we pull the wash from the line?"
"You're right, we should. Thank you for reminding me. Come on." They walked out the back door and pulled the clothes off. Callum looked over his uniform, seeing how bright and shiny it was in the early moonlight, and the light streaming from the kitchen window. He smiled at it, and then plucked it, too, from the line.
They carried the wash upstairs and opened Callum's bedroom door. They set the wash on the bed and began to fold it. Once it was folded they opened the drawers at the bureau against the wall. Callum filled one drawer, giving Dustin another. Once they were filled, Callum opened another and put a few more things in it. He closed it and looked at Dustin, who was kneeling on the floor, placing the last of his items in the drawer. He closed it and looked up at Callum. He smiled up at Callum, who bent down and kissed Dustin softly.
"I shall go and blow out the lights down stairs. I will return in a few moments." Callum said in a low voice.
"I cannot wait for you to return." Dustin said with soft eyes. Callum smiled, and then walked out of the room.
Once downstairs, Callum walked around the three rooms, the living room or parlor of the house was secure, the pantry of the house was closed, and then into the kitchen. Callum checked the door, making sure it was closed tightly, as the wind was picking up outside. He closed the window that was open, that looked out over the flagstone area behind the house. He made sure the stove was latched securely on the firebox. He blew out the candle on the table and turned down the lantern that was hung on the wall. He walked carefully up the stairs and came back into the bedroom. Dustin had moved the candle to one of the candle stands next to the bed, and he was already in it, waiting. He had his arms, folded and behind his head, undressed in the bed, the covers turned back, Callum could see his naked body lying there, Dustin's cock laying over his thigh, firming up slightly. Callum gave him a slight smile, Dustin giving him a look in return of lust and desire. Callum closed the door. He began to undo the buttons on the flap of his long pants. He kicked off his buckle shoes, sliding them under the bed. Callum could hear the wind outside the window above the bed, rattling the glass panes. Callum pulled the shirt over his head, and shook his head to free his pony tail of restraint. Callum tossed the shirt to the foot of the bed, and then slowly, almost teasingly, slid out of the long pants.
Dustin watched him remove his clothes, and was softly licking his lips. He watched Callum peel off his stockings and drop them on the floor. Callum's length hung long and thick below him, as he pulled back the bed covers, exposing more of his lover in the bed, down to his ankles.
"Now, this is our first night in our bed together. Which part of me will you have first?" Callum asked.
Dustin squirmed in the bed, giving that little boy look he did so well. "Which parts can I have?"
"Any of them." Callum said softly.
"Then I choose...all of them." Dustin said with a grin, as he rose up off the soft mattress, leaning toward Callum. His arms went around Callum's neck. "I will have your lips first." Dustin whispered as he kissed Callum softly and then went in deeper. He pulled back, looking into Callum's eyes. "Then I will take your mast. And then...I think I will take your...anchors." Dustin said as he reached down and clasped Callum's balls, making him moan softly.
"That is good, as I will be taking your bum and making it my slave the rest of the night."
"Do you swear?" Dustin whispered, as he felt Callum's firm hand on one cheek.
"You have my word. I wish to fill you, over and over again."
"Do your worst to me then, sir." Dustin said, pushing his hips out, into Callum's hand.
"My worst will come to you soon enough. But first, you were going to take my mast?"
Dustin smiled, and then got down on all fours. He leaned forward and licked Callum's rising 'mast'. He licked the sides and then the rising back of it, and as it came to full attention, he licked at the shiny tip. He opened his mouth and sucked at the head, pushing the foreskin back with his lips, licking it all over, removing the clear fluid that was coming out of the slit at a furious pace. Dustin took it by the base in his hand, and tipped it up, licking the tender underside. Callum drew in air through clenched teeth, placing his hands in Dustin's hair. Dustin took it in further into his mouth, using his lips and his tongue on it.
Callum rested his knee on the mattress , his wounded leg was still standing on the floor, as Dustin took more of him in, giving him tight suction, drawing out more of the clear fluid. Dustin swallowed it as he hummed with it sweetness. Callum felt his balls being tossed about in a hand, felt fingers tickle them softly, making them move and respond on their own to the touch. Callum let out the air that he had taken in through his nose. He redrew a fresh breath through his clenched teeth, watching Dustin's naked form below him on the bed, highlighted by the candlelight. Callum ran a hand over Dustin's shoulders, and then down his spine, softly, slowly, then he leaned a little bit, running his hand down into Dustin's canal, brushing over the opening with one finger, making Dustin moan on his member.
Callum started to rock his hips slowly, pushing himself in and out of Dustin's mouth. Dustin groaned on Callum, then looked up, turning his head slightly. Callum could see that Dustin was trying smile on Callum. Callum kept going, feeling good at what they were both doing to him. Dustin squeezed Callum's sack, and pulled down on it. Callum still had his hand in Dustin's crack, and he entered Dustin with a finger, making Dustin moan louder on him.
"You want that, do you love?" Callum whispered. "You want me there instead, don't you?" Dustin pulled off for a moment, looking up.
"Oh, yes. I do, I really do."
"I shall give this to you," Callum said as he took himself by the base. He slapped it against Dustin's cheek a few times. "but first, you must give yours to me."
Dustin got up on his knees. He stared Callum in the eyes. "You want me in you first?"
"I do. I want you to fill me up. I have longed for it all day, since we were in the stable. I wanted you to take me then."
"Why didn't you say something?"
"I'm saying it now. Take me, lay me out, plant your seed in me, in my belly." Callum turned and lay on the mattress, he lifted his legs, bending them at the knee. Dustin spun around in between Callum's legs. He looked at the beautiful form nestled in the mattress below him. He was dripping from his tip with excitement. He didn't know what to do first.
"Board me." Callum said, spreading himself wider with his hands. "Give it to me."
Dustin got down a little more and guided himself to the opening. He looked at his tip, and then into Callum's eye, and back at his tip. Dustin pushed in. It was incredibly tight on him. He didn't think he was going to go in.
"Push in harder." Callum whispered. Dustin did as he was told and broke through, into Callum. They both took a deep breath, Callum putting a hand on Dustin's shoulder. "That's it. Now, slide it in more...yes, that's right...more, love, more....yes..." Callum said softly. They were forehead to forehead. "You like it, don't you?"
"Oh, yes, very much."
"It's tight, warm...it feels so good...with someone...you love." Callum whispered as he dropped his head back to the pillow.
Dustin leaned in and kissed Callum deeply. Callum wrapped his arms around Dustin's smaller shoulders, pulling him in even deeper. Callum lifted his legs and put them around Dustin's thin frame, feeling him sink deeper inside of him. Dustin rocked his hips in and out between Callum's legs. Callum's long length was pinned between them. Callum lay there, letting Dustin take him, all of him. Callum took in a deep, slow breath, looking at Dustin in the candle light.
"Oh, this is so good." Callum said in a low voice. "I love feeling you fill me up."
"I love being in you, but, I love it more when you're in me."
"Soon enough, love." Callum said in a soft tone, running his hands over Dustin's back. "Fill my need. I want you so bad."
"You can have me, anytime."
"And I will." Callum moaned softly as Dustin was pushing into him, bottoming his cock out against Callum's ass. "Just like yesterday...fill me up."
Dustin went to work, sliding in and out of Callum. Dustin lifted himself on the bed, thrusting in and out of Callum's hole, bracing his hands on the mattress, locking his elbows, watching Callum's face as he went in and out. Callum slowly closed his eyes, as Dustin was pounding into him, making the bed creak and moan softly as he moved. Callum exhaled as he felt Dustin swell inside him, stretching him a little wider. Dustin moaned softly.
"Yes...yes..." Callum said, opening his eyes, watching Dustin's grimace. Callum knew Dustin was at the edge, and then Dustin opened his mouth, and Callum felt it inside of him, Dustin's cock throbbing, pulsing. Callum knew he was being filled, and took in a new breath with it. "Yes...keep going, my love, keep going."
"Ohhh." Dustin moaned softly.
"You like that, that feeling, don't you?" Callum asked, rubbing his hands all over Dustin's back.
Dustin let out a deep breath through his open mouth. He brought his lips together, and then licked them softly to wet them. He opened his eyes, looking at Callum. "It is so good when I go off. It makes me tingle all over."
Callum smiled, feeling Dustin wiggle his hips into him, feeling his firm length still there, inside of him, flexing, moving slowly. Callum took in a deep breath through his nose. Dustin shifted a little on him, like he was going to get up. Callum pulled him in tighter, looking up at him.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I was going to get off..."
"I do not think so." Callum said, refirming his grip on Dustin. "I am not through with having you there, just yet."
Dustin smiled. "Am I enough for you there?"
"You are perfect there, the right size for me." Callum moved his hands down and filled them with Dustin's slender, smooth, tiny cheeks. His hands kneaded the muscle in them, pulling them, forcing Dustin into him more. "I love your weight on me, the way you feel against me, the way you move."
"It is you that is better on me." Dustin said softly. "I love it when you take me, force yourself in me. Your hands are so strong on my body. I..." Dustin's voice trailed off, his eyes turned downward away from Callum's.
"You what?" Callum asked softly. "Dustin...we have no secrets from each other, not now. Say what you like."
"I...love you."
Callum smiled up at him. "That wasn't so hard, now was it?" Callum asked in a soft voice. Dustin returned his gaze and shook his head in reply. "For you see...I love you as well. You have become my everything, my heart." Callum squeezed his hands tighter on Dustin's cheeks. "I want you with me till my dying day, right here, doing this, together."
"Honestly?" Dustin asked, his eyes becoming wet. Callum nodded his answer. "You make me so happy, Quintan. My heart pounds so heavy when you are with me."
"Mine as well." Callum smiled upward. "I have had many people in my life, but, none had touched me the way that you do. No one has ever filled my heart or my thoughts like you. I love you so, Dustin." Callum picked his head up, touching Dustin's lips with his. It was soft and tender at first, Dustin parting his lips slightly, letting the tip of his tongue move over Callum's lips. Callum parted his and they fell into each other, tight, forceful, each breathing through their noses.
Callum felt Dustin firming up again, inside of him, the thickening of Dustin's length spreading Callum open again, filling him all over again. Callum softly moaned in Dustin's mouth, as Dustin took his hands and slid up the bed under Callum, clasping Callum's shoulders. Dustin began to rock his hips, sliding his length in and out of Callum, pushing in deeper and deeper. Callum was breathing through his nose more rapid and shallow with the thrusting of Dustin, as Dustin was becoming more forceful in Callum. Callum finally pulled back, laying his head back on the pillow.
"Oh, God." Callum whispered. "Yes...give it to me...harder...yes...like that..."
"It feels good?" Dustin asked, tightening his grip, thrusting more forcefully.
"Ohhh,...it does...yes..." Callum was moaning softly. "Bring it to me...yes...give me your all...oh, yes...uh,...uhhh..." Callum felt in him, that feeling as his length was trapped between their lithe bodies, sliding up and down between their soft skin, his balls tightened up, as they were also trapped, and then he let go, shooting his manly fluid between them. Dustin felt the pulsing of Callum and lost all control, he too, let go, shooting up into Callum, pushing in as deep as he could get, bottoming himself out against Callum. They were watching each others eyes, as they pulsed in and against each other.
"Quintan..." Dustin exhaled slowly.
"What is it, my love?" Callum exhaled softly, moving one hand up, bringing it to the back of Dustin's head.
"I...so love you."
"And I...you." Callum smiled.
"Will you board me now?" Dustin asked with that little boy look. Callum smiled in return.
Hmmm...I thought you would never ask."

* Anti-euro True Finns to show strong gains, may join gov't
* National Coalition party leading polls at 21 percent
* Balloting stations close at 1700 GMT Sunday
By Ritsuko Ando and Jussi Rosendahl
HELSINKI, April 17 (Reuters) - The anti-euro True Finns party is expected to reel off big gains in Finland's general election on Sunday, threatening pro-European government and raising the risk of disruptions to an EU bailout of Portugal.
Finland, unlike others in the euro zone, can put requests for bailout funds to a majority vote in parliament, meaning that the election outcome is likely to affect European Union plans to shore up Portugal and stability in debt markets.
The National Coalition, No. 2 party in Finland's current governing coalition, staked out a narrow pre-election lead with around 21 percent of votes, according to a poll by public broadcaster YLE published on Thursday.
That was not enough to secure a majority in parliament, however, and analysts expect it to seek a multi-party coalition.
Some say it could even work with the True Finns if the populist party won enough votes and backed down from their opposition to EU bailout plans.
While most saw an outside chance of the next government balking at the Portugal bailout plan, analysts said Finland could begin taking a harder line on EU affairs as domestic leaders pay heed to voter discontent.
"Whether the True Finns will really (emerge) as champions of the elections is still uncertain, but I think we will clearly get a more nationalistic, more conservative, less European-oriented government in Finland," said ING senior economist Carsten Brzeski.
If the National Coalition finishes first in Sunday's election, in which the polls will close at 1700 GMT, its leader and current Finance Minister Jyrki Katainen is likely to seek out multiple alliances.
The three other main parties -- Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi's Centre party, the True Finns and the opposition Social Democrats -- command 15-19 percent support each.
National Coalition minister Jan Vapaavuori on Friday played down fears of a new anti-euro government, saying any coalition that is formed would support the EU.
The True Finns, he said, would probably tone down its rhetoric as a condition of joining government. The Social Democrats, who are critical of the bailout plan but supportive of the EU, would be even easier to get on board, he said.
"Either it's a pre-condition for them to support Portugal in the next government, or at least not to vote against it... I'm sure that Finland will be in line with other European countries in the next government," he told Reuters.
The True Finns have said they have no intention of backing down from their opposition to the bailout plan, but political analysts said the party and its charismatic leader, Timo Soini, would probably compromise if needed.
"It would be strange for a party to grow so much but not want to use that power and enter government," said Kimmo Gronlund, research director at Abo University.
Support for the True Finns has nearly quadrupled since the 2007 election. Analysts say many Finns have become disenchanted with the other main parties, as combinations of those three have run the country for decades and voters feel they have lost touch with the people.
A scandal over political funding has hurt the Centre party, and unemployment is also driving voter angst. The economy's recent rebound from the global financial crisis has done little to increase the number of jobs.
The country's flagship company, Nokia NOK1V.HE, is struggling to compete with Apple Inc (AAPL.O) as well as Asian handset makers, and is expected to cut jobs soon.
Finland's other main industry is timber, but many large mills have been closing.

Not only will you be able to stop your vehicle when needed, but you will also be able to put your vehicle through the paces and fast corners because you can slow it down. Brake calipers squeeze the flat surface of the brake rotor on both sides. This is a much more efficient way to slow down your Chevrolet Caprice than the use of wheel cylinders, as disc brake calipers are able to grip both sides of the rotor; transferring more energy into the pads and slowing the car.
