Retirement date
October 6th, 2014 | Retirement date
Q.I read that Aug. 1 is a best date to retire. Why not July 31? That is for those who work a 4-5-9 schedule (i.e., Aug. 1 is a non-work flex Friday).
A. As a CSRS employee, your only requirement is that you retire no later than the third day of a given month. Whoever wrote that Friday, August 1 was the best day to retire was probably accepting the fact that most employees complete their workweek on a Friday. By leaving at the close of business on that day, they'd receive a full week's pay. Since you are on a flex schedule, nothing would prevent you from retiring at the end of your last work day. By doing so, you'd be on the annuity roll on Aug. 1, instead of Aug. 2. FYI. Since you'd be leaving in the middle of a pay period, you wouldn't get any credit for annual or sick leave you would have earned if you had retired at the end of a pay period.

Retirement date
September 2nd, 2014 | Retirement date
Q. I am a CSRS employee. If I retire on Friday, Oct. 31, will I accrue my annual leave for that pay period? I will have worked the 80 hours, but technically the end of the pay period is Saturday, Nov. 1.
A. You may retire at the end of the day on Friday, Oct. 31, be on the annuity roll the following day, and get credit for the annual and sick leave you earned during that pay period.

Unused annual leave
June 17th, 2014 | RETIREMENT
Q. I am considering retirement under the MRA+10 provision and postponing my annuity until I reach age 62. If I follow this course, am I eligible to sell back any unused annual leave without penalty?
A. Your unused annual leave will automatically be paid to you in a lump sum when you separate from the government.

Annual leave
May 22nd, 2014 | Annual leave Resignation terminal leave
Q. When I ETS from the Army, I was allowed 30 days of terminal leave with the remainder of unused annual leave a forced buyout. I had been unable to take leave due to the needs of the Army.
Because of that I lost almost a month of BAH, specialty pay, etc.
I was told at that time the federal government cannot force more than one buyout of unused annual leave during your federal career.
I am resigning from civilian federal service with a deferred retirement. Can they once again force a buyout of unused annual leave? Can they not allow me to take terminal leave?
A. No, they can't. The comptroller general of the United States has ruled that federal civilian employees may not take terminal leave.

Locality pay
July 2nd, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. Is there a minimum number of days per pay period that an employee must work at his assigned duty station (duty station as it appears on the SF-52) to qualify for locality pay in that area? I live in one state, and my wife in another (long story). I try to get home once a month by taking a combination of a few days of annual leave and a few telework days. I have heard that to qualify for locality pay, a person must work in that area a minimum of two days per pay period (which seems more than reasonable, and even lenient).
FERS and cashing out annual leave
July 2nd, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. Recent legislation entitles FERS-eligible employees to have sick leave credited to their time in service: 50 percent until 2013 and 100 percent in 2014. At the same time, FERS annual leave hours past 240 are not lost but paid in full in completing your last year of employment.
Can you clarify that if you retire Jan. 1, 2014, you lose the hours in excess of 240? (I was informed by an HR employee that if you don't retire Dec. 31, your hours in excess of 240 are not paid even if you retire the next day, Jan. 1 — I have my doubts.)
But if you didn't and retired Dec. 31, you would lose 50 percent of your sick leave.
I have four months of accrued sick leave, whereas I would have about $20,000 in unused annual leave paid if I retired Jan. 1.
If the information from HR is true, I would have to choose between losing 50 percent of my 700 hours of accrued sick leave for retiring before Jan. 1, 2014, and losing more than 240 hours.
What is the better financial decision? Accruing four months of time in service and losing all my leave in excess of 240 or taking the full lump sum and getting credit for only two months?

Leave without pay and creditable service
June 26th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. In 2011, I left my civil service job for 175 days to deploy to Afghanistan as an active-duty officer. While deployed, I used a day or two of annual or military leave every pay period to pay for my health care benefits. FERS payments also were made on the days I was on paid leave.
When I got back from my deployment, I was told I had to buy back the time, and I put in paperwork with DFAS to do so. However, I just read in my agency's furlough FAQ that: The amount of a CSRS or FERS annuity paid by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is based primarily on the amount of creditable service an employee performs and the employee's high-3 average salary.
Both CSRS and FERS allow service credit for up to 6 months of nonpay status in any calendar year. If a furlough period does not cause an employee to be in a nonpay status for more than 6 months in a calendar year, the furlough period will be included as creditable service in determining the employee's total creditable service used in the annuity computation. If the total amount of time an employee spends in a nonpay status in a calendar year exceeds 6 months, the amount of nonpay status in excess of 6 months in the calendar year will not be creditable for retirement purposes.
Based upon this, it looks like as long as I was not in a nonpay status for six months that calendar year, I do not have to buy back that time for it to count toward my retirement. Am I correct in my interpretation of this? If so, is there a way to verify how many creditable years I have?

Rehired annuitant looking to add to retirement
June 26th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. I retired as a CSRS employee Nov. 30, 2006, and am a rehired annuitant. I have been working in my current position with the Air Force for the last 22 months, receiving both my annuity and the full salary of my new position. I want to find another way to add to my retirement before this overseas job ends.
What additional retirement program options do I have? I was told by Air Force personnel management that I do not qualify for supplementing/contributing to my CSRS annuity. TSP also is closed for me to invest in since I started to withdraw from my account.

FERS, CSRS Offset and service
June 12th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. After serving 12 years in the military, I went to work for the federal government Jan. 13, 1982, and left federal service in October 1987, having served five years and nine months. I was in CSRS that entire time. I withdrew my CSRS contributions when I left. I came back to work for the federal government in July 2006 and was placed in CSRS Offset, with the option of going into FERS. I opted to be in CSRS Offset. At that time, I paid the deposit plus interest to get credit for my military time for pension purposes. I read the "Ask the Experts" response of March 30, 2010, where it said that as of Jan 1, 1987, any current employee with fewer than five years of service under CSRS was automatically converted to FERS. On Jan. 1 1987, I was 13 days short of five years, although I had previous military time and more than 13 days of annual leave and sick leave on the books. The "Ask the Experts" answer of Jan. 18, 2012, seems to say that I was correctly placed in CSRS Offset. Other pamphlets I read say you need five years as of Jan 1, 1987. I was 13 days short, excluding military time. I think my military time counted because my service computation date is in 1969.
Now I am concerned that my agency might have placed me incorrectly into CSRS Offset and I might be in for a surprise when I retire. Am I correctly in CSRS Offset? Do I need to take any action?

Temporary employment and service computation date
June 11th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. I served four years in the military on active duty and seven years in the reserves. I was hired as an Army civilian temp in 1991 and was kept until 1993, then laid off. Then I was called back in 2004 as permanent employee under FERS. I paid back the deposit for four years of military time, and they processed a new SCD Merge and Purge of OPF complete.
Now my SF50 action gives a service computation date of 1998 (leave). The EBIS preliminary retirement report says my SCD is 2000. The left hand isn't speaking to the right hand.
I worked 2½ years for the federal government. That should count as creditable service. I was even given back my sick leave of more than 500 hours. Shouldn't I have to pay back the service credit payment? Why is the EBIS retirement estimate wrong?
Military time: 1976-1980 = four years
Temp time: 1991-1993= 2½ years
Current time: 2004-2013= 10 years
That's 16½ years of working for the government. Simple math.

Q. I've been offered a position with the Defense Intelligence Agency as a GG-13, step 6. I'm a GS-13, step 6, and have been for nearly a year. I accepted my position last year, going from my previous salary as a GS-13, step 4. Can I ask for a raise in the new position? Or, since I've been a step 6 for only around a year, am I ineligible? Also, with DIA, will my leave award of six hours per pay period apply? Should it? My new position with DIA will be outside the contiguous United States, so the allowances and leave days are different. And DIA is offering all applicable OCONUS allowances.

HR mistake and leave adjustment
May 7th, 2013 | Annual leave LEAVE Military service deposits
Q. I retired from the Army with more than 22 years of active duty. I submitted my paperwork to FBI HR to get credit for my military time on my first day of employment in October 2010. I inquired numerous times about the status of the documents but never received a satisfactory answer. Then, after more than a year of asking, I found out the HR person submitted the paperwork to an incorrect address (now November 2011). The paperwork was resubmitted by another HR person because I told them all that they submitted it incorrectly. I finally received six hours of annual leave per pay period, which began this year. How can I get credit (six hours a pay period) from the beginning of my employment with the FBI? FBI HR told me it was from the time of the documents submitted getting certified. What are your thoughts on this situation?

Recharacterizing leave after retirement
April 17th, 2013 | LEAVE RETIREMENT Sick leave
Q. After 35 years with the federal government, I retired Feb. 29, 2012.
During my last full pay period, I used 16 hours of sick leave. I discovered after a call from OPM recently that a correction to my final sick leave balance was made by my former employing agency, modestly increasing my sick leave balance. OPM informed me today that after the correction, my sick leave balance was six hours short of the number of hours needed to bring my total creditable working hours up by one more full month.
After hearing this, I realize that had I used six hours LESS sick leave (instead of 16 hours) in my last full pay period in pay status, and used just 10 hours of sick leave plus six hours of annual leave for the time I took off during that last full pay period, I would have had enough creditable work hours to complete another full month toward the calculation of my annuity.
My question to you now is whether or not leave I used in my last full pay period can be recharacterized almost a year since retiring because that would initiate another updated correction to my sick leave balance, which would be forwarded to OPM via the National Finance Center, and subsequently permit a recalculation of my final annuity amount.
I was paid a lump sum for unused annual leave a few weeks after retiring but would gladly reimburse the agency for six of those hours if possible if a correction to my time and attendance report for the last full pay period could be done, allowing for a recharacterization of leave I used during my last full pay period, which would increase my annuity, even if only a little.

Workers' compensation and leave
April 16th, 2013 | Disability retirement LEAVE RETIREMENT Sick leave Workers' compensation
Q. I was injured in September 2010 and was out of work until I retired on disability in March 2011. I exhausted my annual and sick leave, since my initial workers' compensation claim was denied.
After numerous appeals, my workers' compensation claim was approved in October 2011. I began receiving interim retirement payments in September 2011 but have yet to receive payment from OPM for annual and sick leave I would have accumulated during that period. I have contacted DFAS and OPM, along with filing two congressionals regarding this issue, but no resolution.
Shouldn't I be paid for the time I would have been on workers' compensation? Shouldn't OPM pay the lump sum after receiving notification that my workers' compensation claim was approved? I have contacted OPM, and it seems to lack adequate professionals to decipher this mess.

Unhappy with HP
- Pros
- Nice Colour, great feature set
- Cons
- It doesn't work. Crashes frequently, and HP service is expensive.
- • • •
So today for the umpteenth time, my HP printer has failed. I have restarted and updated everything possible. Still nothing. So I called HP and wound up in a US tech support because Canada doesn't have one. The Techie accidentally let slip that he could send me a brand new model, replace the $400 worth of colour toner cartridges, all at a reduced price, and offer me free shipping - sorry - oops your in Canada? NO SOUP FOR YOU! For you we can only offer over the phone support. That will be $39, oh no wait, you're in Canada - sorry that's $49. HP: you suck. DON'T BUY THIS PRINTER WITHOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY! If you need reliability and cannot deal with frequent interuptions to reload drivers etc... DON"T BUY THIS PRINTER!

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A Kentucky woman who was in critical condition Sunday after falling from a 10th-floor Atlanta hotel window is doing "better than anticipated," a family member says, but relatives remain puzzled about what led to the fall.
Dennis Holman's crop is ready for market, though in his case, it's the fertilizer produced by his more than 1 million wriggling earthworms.
SHA Inc held its spring meeting at Southern Heartland Gallery May 19, where scholarships were presented to graduating seniors with career goals in the visual arts.
It's hard having champagne tastes on a beer budget, but that's the reality of livin' on one income, friends. Shoot, that's the reality of livin' on two incomes plus overtime for most folks these days. There are a few products I've found at dollar stores that are just as good as their pricier grocery store counterparts. A jar of roasted red peppers can cost upwards of $3 on the grocery store shelves, but you'll find them for a buck at the dollar store. Same goes for taco sauce and some fancy little chocolate and hazelnut ...
Some residents may be worried that gas prices and the current trend of bad weather could hinder their Memorial Day weekend plans of travel and outdoor fun.
Without a millage rate increase, Newton County would have to cut 52 employees, Chairman Kathy Morgan told the board of commissioners Thursday.

Herbert Smith suffers another high-level departure as China M&A head quits
Readers' comments (17)
It's official now. After Simon Meng's departure and the spate of other high profile departures from their Hong Kong office, Herbert Smith now has only one good corporate partner left in Asia. Surely some highly profitable law firm can tempt him away from Herbies! Let the bidding begin!
Cmon then, who is it?
hahaha. maybe he'll have time to look for a new job with the IPO market in Hong Kong quieting down
He's had plenty of offers. Give him some time. Herbies' recent announcement that profits have continued to decline should make him a little looser in the saddle. And Freshfields still needs to rebuild after its losses last year.
He will be mine! I will have him!
We don't hire them as much as we used to in Asia as they can't hold on to their talent at either the partner or associate level. One partner can only do so many deals single-handedly with no real associate support and it's only expected to get worse with the associate headcount cuts underway in Hong Kong.
Who's next? I heard rumors that there are at least two more partner departures on the way in Asia.
I've worked across from Simon Meng. He is the real deal. A great lawyer. His departure is a big loss for Herbert Smith. So many heavy hitters leaving recently.
Come on. They have plenty of associates in their Asia corporate department. Unfortunately they're all junior associates who can't make a judgment call or run a deal.
Project Blue Sky was not implemented fast enough to stem the tide of departures. We're still waiting. More like nothing but blue sky.
Who is the partner remaining that is referred to above?
Gary Lock (not the Gary Locke that is the current United States Ambassador to China)?
Matt Emsley
Now that you point that out, I guess you're right. They are down to only one good corporate partner in Asia.
with no associates apparently. not encouraging.
Well times are bad and so associate departures are not that uncommon. There is at least one good senior associate in corporate still.
Matt Ems won't stay - those above him hinder his development and one can be a "bag man" for so long. snr partners just don't get it and a dept. really losing it.

Kelowna for Christmas any Restaurant suggestions
My Wife and I will be in Kelowna for christmas and are wondering if there are any good restaurants that will be open on December 25th, for lunch and diner.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Unfortunately, the options in Kelowna are going to be limited on Christmas day - Bouchons, Raudz, the Old Vines Restaurant at Quails Gate Winery and the Sunset Bistro at the Summerhill Winery are among the many places that will beclosed. We would suggest checking the Wild Apple at the Manteo Resort, and the Lakeside Dining Room at the Eldorado Hotel as the best possibilities for that day.

"That may be the case, but judging by Google's share price, the company has a long way to go to convince investors that the Nexus One was a win".
N1 is not and, as far as I can tell, was never going to be a big cash cow… Why do you think it should affect the company share price?
If you just want to stimulate the you don't do it like that. You sell through existing channels.
Google went out to take a direct share of the market and discovered
1) The users didn't want it
2) They couldn't support it and
3) The other Android vendors wouldn't stand for it. They would have jumped ship (HP did).
Next we'll have Microsoft railing about what a success the Kin was.
Using that same unconvincing reasoning, investor's disappointment with "Buzz" caused them to lose $30 billion in market value. You can insert any variable you want in the paragraph above to imply there is a causal link, but it doesn't make it true. Google's growth in the phone market through the Android operating system also started around the same time and has been both unanticipated and explosive – maybe that's the cause you are looking for?
they should have been patient. i didnt buy the nexus1 but sure i'd want a nexus 2. i was hoping they will launch gingerbread w/ nexus 2. stock android, better UI, instant updates, better hardware, no contract… sigh.
sure theoretically it's possible to open up a mobile market for google to sell ads, but would it actually be opened up and if it does, would it really benefit Google? I don't know. The whole fixation on open-source and certain fixation on pursuing a technological dream would end up dooming google, I remember Sun was the poster child for investing and promoting technology, yet it's sold now and its invention such as Java, while popular, failed to generate much money for them.
Please no more causal links in articles. There are literally billions of factors involved in stock prices and trying to assign a causal link to one variable makes the wsj look just as silly as the meteorologist who assigns the blame for the Texas Twister to one specific Brazilian butterfly.
Not sure what Nexus One did for Google, but surely it put HTC in the limelight as the premier Android phone maker.
Android overall doesn't make money, but it does buy Google some brand loyalty for some geeks who frequent gadget blog sites everyday. But frankly, I wouldn't say they are the best customers out there.
The last line killed the whole article.
Its too bad actually. The Nexus One is still a great phone and quite possibly the fastest phone so far with its JIT compiler.
I read this article about why this new marketing strategy was such a failure. You can check it out at http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/2010/05/17/google-takes-nexus-one-back-to-the-basics/
doesn't android make life so wonderful for users of google apps.. that could well be the next big cash cow for google.

Tennessee's Jarnell Stokes scored 20 points and had 11 rebounds as the Volunteers beat Georgia 67-48 Tuesday night, snapping Georgia's four-game winning streak. Jordan McRae and Antonio Barton scored 12 and 11 points, respectively for the Volunteers.
In contrast to Stoke's offensive dominance, the Bulldog inside players scored only 6 times on 23 attempts while visits to the free throw line became rare events.
G"[Jarnell Stokes] wore us out. Give him credit, he was the aggressor and we just couldn't get him contained. He's a good player and he came in very determined today. He got the ball in some good spots and made some plays. He had a really good night."
By outrebounding the Bulldogs (30 – 37) and denying Georgia at the free throw line – Georgia shot a season low 11 free throws, making 8 – Tennessee turned a close game into a route halfway through the second half.
Georgia (14-11, 8-5) was led by Kenny Gaines who scored 13 points. J.J. Frazier also scored a career-high 12 points. However, Charles Mann scored only 5 points and with Georgia's bread and butter off the menu, the Bulldogs spent the evening out of sorts on offense.
"We didn't play well enough to win," said head coach Mark Fox. "We didn't have the bounce in our step that we needed to get stops. We got worn out on the backboards. Like all conference games, win or lose, you have to learn from it and move onto the next game and we'll do that with this one.
Facing a six-point halftime deficit, the Bulldogs went on a 7-2 run to cut the deficit to three at 38- 35, but that's as close as Georgia would get.
At the 16-minute mark, the Volunteers (16-10, 7-6) began a 12-3 run, capped by a Stokes jumper in the lane to extend its lead to double-digits, 50-38. In the closing minutes of the game, Tennessee extended its advantage to 19 points.
In the first half, Georgia trailed 28-23 with five minutes remaining, but freshman J.J. Frazier scored five straight points to tie the game at 28-28. The Vols ended the half on a 6-0 on run to take a 34-28 halftime lead. The Bulldogs led three different times with its final advantage coming with eight minutes left in the first half.
The Bulldogs will hit the road again to face South Carolina (20-15, 3-9) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The game will be televised on SEC-TV.

The Single Supervisory Mechanism will be launched on 4 November 2014. Before the ECB assumes responsibility for the supervision of the 120 largest banking groups in Europe, they are being subjected to a comprehensive assessment. The results will be presented on 26 October 2014. Those that do not pass the test will have to react quickly.
The Bundesbank believes that the German economy has made very little headway in the course of the third quarter of 2014. According to the current issue of the Monthly Report, Bundesbank economists expect growth to remain subdued in the fourth quarter thanks to the slight decline in new orders received by industry and the gloomy prevailing sentiment.
Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann has spoken out in favour of a strict application of the rules of the Stability and Growth Pact. As he commented at a recent event in Bielefeld, if these rules were again stretched to their absolute limits, the credibility of the Pact would suffer enormously.
Against the backdrop of an increasingly gloomy global economic outlook, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann has rejected calls for economic stimulus packages. In the run-up to the IMF Annual Meeting, he said that in his view "adopting flash-in-the-pan economic stimulus packages" was "of little help" in facilitating sustainable growth.
"adopting flash-in-the-pan economic stimulus packages"
"of little help"
The ECB Governing Council agreed the details of its asset-backed securities and covered bond purchase programmes in Naples on 2 October 2014. The purchases are aimed at facilitating credit provision to the euro-area economy. Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann is critical of these programmes.
The Bundesbank has recalculated Germany's general government debt level using amended EU-wide calculation standards for the country's autumn notification under the European budgetary surveillance procedure. The new figures show that general government debt as defined in the Maastricht Treaty amounted to €2.159 trillion at the end of 2013, which is €12 billion higher than calculated previously.
Most listed equities of enterprises domiciled in Germany are held by non-resident investors. This is shown by a recent analysis of the Bundesbank's statistics on securities investments, published in the September Monthly Report. The Bundesbank's economists believe that this can be seen as reflecting the growth in international ties.
In its latest Monthly Report, the Bundesbank argues in favour of putting Germany's state government revenue-sharing scheme on a more transparent and logical footing. To give the federal states greater responsibility for their own affairs, including against the backdrop of the new debt brake, the Bundesbank endorses the proposal to expand their tax autonomy.
In the Bundesbank's assessment, the late school holidays this summer considerably strengthened economic performance in July. Holiday-related output losses in July were smaller than is usual at this time of year, thus overstating economic activity, according to the latest Monthly Report. Bundesbank economists therefore expect a countermovement for August.
Euro-area banks have taken up a total of €82.6 billion in the Eurosystem's first round of targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTROs). Bundesbank Executive Board member Joachim Nagel sees the lacklustre take-up as a sign of reduced dependence on Eurosystem funding.

It's been a long time since Nebraska was nationally relevant in the world of college basketball, but with one ruling, that may change in a hurry.
According to a published report by ESPN, the NCAA has elected to clear incoming freshman Tai Webster to play basketball at Nebraska for the upcoming season. Webster was a high-impact "get" for the Nebraska program, as his star rose in a big way following an impressive showing for the New Zealand national team in the off-season.
Webster, a 6-foot-4 guard, is expected to compete for a starting position right away, and frankly, he's a mortal lock to be the best player on campus from the day he sets foot in Lincoln. He won't be the only newcomer to the Cornhusker program, as they've brought in the services of two D-1 transfers (one from Florida, one from Texas Tech) in addition to a solid freshman class headlined by Webster.
It's certainly possible that the long-suffering Nebraska hoops program will need more than just one solid recruiting class to turn around. However, Head coach Tim Miles was quoted as saying that he was "thrilled" with the clearance of Webster, and in all honesty, this is a huge day for Nebraska hoops.

It's not sweet or anything, it's actually pretty fucking filthy lol.
Niall's POV
The sight of you sitting on the sofa naked is starting to drive me wild. You have your legs spread and are rubbing your inner thighs. You rub along the sides of your pretty pussy. Glints of moisture are starting to seep from deep inside you, moistening your lips so they start to glisten and swell.
I pull up a chair in front of you and pull out my cock. It stands up hard and proud, pulsing and swollen. I pull the chair up as close as I can and sit on the edge, my balls hanging inches from your pussy. I can feel the heat on my balls coming from your hot little snatch.
I don't touch myself, but position my legs so you can watch me as I get harder and harder watching you. You start to play with your lips, spreading the wetness all over your crotch. Your clit grows larger, pushing its way out from under its hood, seeking attention.
By now my cock is engorged, its thick head swollen a bright reddish purple, a bead of pre-cum glistening on the tip. My balls are getting heavy and swollen, and start to twitch in their smooth velvety sack, drawing tighter up to the base of my shaft. I'm so hard I can't stand it; my swollen cock starts pulsing with desire, the fat head slowly bobbing up and down. By now a shiny clear string of sweet honey pre-cum is hanging from the tip, stretching to the floor.
I stand up and push the chair back. I stand in front of you as you rub your wet pussy and moan. I thrust my hips forward so that my pulsing stiff cock is right in front of your face, drizzling pre-cum up your tummy and over your tits. Taste me. That's right, just stick your tongue out and lick my tip. Mmmm…. Want some more? Take hold of my balls, yeah. Now give them a squeeze… harder… oh yes! As you squeeze a large amount of my honey is forced up my shaft and out of my tip. Go on, suck it of… no no, just the head Oohhhhh….
Stop! No I can't cum yet, first your pussy needs some more attention.
I kneel down between your legs, and grabbing your hips pull you to the edge of the cushion. I put a hand on each of your knees and slowly move them up your inner thighs, running my fingertips up either side of your drenched hot little pussy. I rest my fingertips on your soft mound and start massaging you with my thumbs up and down the sides of your puss, gently pressing and rubbing, watching in delight as your sweet juice runs out between your swollen lips.
They are so pink and wet, swelling and growing in size. I move my left hand under your right thigh, moving it up to your tummy, your thigh resting on my arm. I gently rub your tummy, moving my hand down to your mound, gently pushing and rubbing all around your clit. Your pussy is glowing and shiny with your juices. I continue my caress as I push my right hand up to your hungry pussy. I slowly slide three fingers of my right hand up and down your sopping slit, my middle fingertip between your pouty lips, fingers on either side massaging your lips, sliding up and down, gently squeezing your lips between my fingertips while my left hand massages your mound.
Your beautiful pussy lips are so soft and hot and wet. My hand is getting wet, and I lick your juices off my fingertips. Your taste makes me swoon… damn you taste so good! I slide my right hand under your left leg and grab your hips with both hands as I lower my head between your legs. Your scent makes my cock throb with desire. I start at the bottom and slowly lick up your lips to your clit, and give it gentle suck. It feels hot and hard on my tongue. I give your lips gentle butterfly kisses up and down as I reach up for your breasts with both hands.

5 Facts About Food Cravings You Shouldn't Ignore
So instead of, nonetheless again, changing what we eat, since not change you, by changing what we do when you're not eating? Here a 5 suggestions that will assistance we do only that and get those annoying cravings underneath control.
Can't we lie only this once?
Write it down
"Wait… we wish me to write down each singular thing we eat or drink?" Absolutely. Keeping a food diary severely improves your possibility of success. Food diary users are some-more expected to remove weight, reduction expected to crave and some-more expected to hang to their plans. If essay down your dishes is too cumbersome, a series of smartphone apps like LoseIt! and MyFitnessPal make logging a snap, and even concede we to indicate a barcodes of dishes to automatically enter their nutritive information. Many food diary users, however, will record their dishes for a while and afterwards stop, that leads to a subsequent suggestion:
Get accountable
The best devise in a universe can't work unless we do it. People have many reasons that they keep their diets and other function changes to themselves: shame about wanting to remove weight, fear of failure, fear of being judged or even only a welfare for privacy. Many yo-yo dieters will explain that they "don't wish to be yelled during for going off a plan." However, there is no surrogate for a nonjudgmental burden partner, someone who will compensate courtesy to what we are doing, examination your skeleton and your eating, and let we know in a gentle, understanding way, that we are headed off track. Where can we find such a person?
Join a group
Groups like T.O.P.S. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and even Meetup.com or practice classes are filled with people who would adore to assistance support you. Groups can grasp what people simply cannot. Time and again a investigate has shown that groups yield accountability, encouragement, unsentimental suggestions and marker that are essential to prolonged tenure success. Worried about what others in a organisation will consider of you? Remember they are there for a same reason that we are. Take advantage of what they offer, since what researchers call "pro-social ties" have been related to reduced cravings, and groups are a best approach to make those connections.
Get active
You don't have to practice energetically or even each day to revoke your food cravings. Even a assuage volume of practice can revoke a magnitude and power of your food cravings. What's more, practice has been shown to revoke many opposite urges including ethanol and cigarette cravings. Leaving aside a apparent health advantages of exercise, a good reason to boost your activity is since increasing earthy activity is compared with reduced cravings.
Help others
Sure…helping others is a good thing in general, though can it unequivocally assistance we change your behavior? You gamble it can. Many groups have figured this out a prolonged time ago, with 12-step programs such as Overeaters Anonymous formed roughly wholly on a thought that assisting others can control a urges, and many other groups are founded on a idea that assisting others helps you. But several investigate studies also behind adult a element that assisting others can assistance urge your possibility of liberation from addictive behaviors. So find others who are struggling with cravings and share what has worked for you.
These are only a few of a research-based suggestions that can make a disproportion in your cravings, and you'll learn about several some-more in arriving posts.

Some weeks ago I was invited by the Coeliacs Association of Basque Country to take part in a meeting about Celiac Travellers. The objective was to share experiences and to encourage young celiac people to travel and to overcome their fears of following a gluten-free diet out of home.

We were a young entrepreneur who has to spend some periods of time abroad, a professional sportsman diagnosed more than 30 years ago, a woman who has lived in different countries, a gluten-free travel agency and a person who likes to travel and does her best to cope with her gluten-free diet (me).
I focused my presentation on the resources I use when I have to prepare a trip. While preparing the presentation I realized that there are many of them available nowadays, mostly on the Internet, and I want to share them here:

Defensive end spent a decade in Buffalo. Terry McCormick
Veteran defensive end Chris Kelsay announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday after spending 10 years with the club.
"I want to thank Mr. Wilson for the opportunity he gave me 10 years ago to be a Buffalo Bill," said Kelsay via the Bills website. "One of my goals was to finish my career with the team that drafted me and that came to fruition. I feel very blessed to say that."
