Courtesan Cop Ch. 01byjeffrey214©
She pulled him close and whispered, "It's a murder of a courtesan. A very special one from what I've heard though I haven't been inside to view the crime scene." She looked at an open doorway half way down the hall. Lieutenant Sheldon was looking in their direction, beckoning. "You'd better go," said Marge, and giving him an affectionate pat on the bottom, she shooed him down the hall.
Jeffrey proudly walked the gauntlet of gawking uniformed females, who made no effort to hide their stares at his body. All of them actually looked at his face, but they preferred to keep their eyes on his muscular legs displayed in the thin leggings, and his even thinner pouch which jiggled and swayed with each step he took. The smiles and winks he received from the women in uniform showed their affection for him and support for his new position. After all, he had become sort of the mascot of the street cops' brigade.
He pulled out his badge and hooked it over the breast pocket of his jacket, then purposefully released the single button on his jacket, allowing it to open and reveal the smooth white skin of his exposed belly below the shiny blue gem that brought attention to his boyish navel. The women's eyes now simply made a circuit – navel piercing, smooth belly, swaying pouch, muscular thighs – and back again. He even heard an officer whisper to another "he needs a spanking..." Typical, he thought.
Jeffrey reached to door and met the grinning Lt. Sheldon. "Do you always have to do that to them, pretty boy? They'll now be useless for the next hour just comparing notes and giggling," she said with mock sternness.
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean, Ma'am," he said with an innocent look on his face.
She shook her head, "Perhaps you don't...but I have my doubts."
She took him gently by the arm and walked him into the very luxurious apartment crime scene. The furniture, carpet, drapes, art, and decorations were all right out of Architectural Digest, and all the latest styles; big, big, money to do a room this fashionably. Being a courtesan certainly paid well, but Jeffrey was all too aware of that. His mother never let him forget it.
Lt. Sheldon put her arm uncharacteristically around Jeffrey's shoulder. "Detective Mason," she said softly, "This is a rough murder scene. I've asked you here because you were trained as a courtesan and therefore might have insights about the victim and the crime that we wouldn't otherwise catch. I know you are a professional police officer. But I also know you are male and a courtesan and this case may cause you to feel emotional. It sort of strikes too close to home, so to speak." She paused to see if Jeffrey understood.
He nodded, and she continued. "If you can handle this, I want you on the investigation team. But if, for any reason, you don't feel comfortable working this case, I will completely understand and nobody will think the less of you."
Yeah, right, Jeffrey thought, everyone would say I'm just a boy and couldn't handle it. They'd say that the slut couldn't handle the murder of a slut. No thanks, I'll be fine.
"Yes, Ma'am, I understand completely. Thank you," he said.
Lt. Sheldon gave Jeffrey the complete rundown as they entered the hall and stopped at the door to the master suite. There was a beautiful blonde boy, possibly a year or two older than Jeffrey, spread-eagled and tied on his back to the king sized poster-bed. He showed the red marks and welts of being beaten with whips, crops, and canes. His genitals were quite big, and they were also clearly marked with red lines from whipping. There was some blood.
The Lieutenant summarized what they knew so far for Jeffrey, to get him up to speed.
The courtesan's name is Paul Valentine. Last name possibly changed, we're looking into it. He has leased this apartment for 4 years and he does in-call sessions only, all right here. He'll let a client take him to dinner, but the fun happens in this room. It says so on his website. He was a submissive courtesan that catered to a special class of clients – women who particularly enjoy dominating a boy physically. He allowed himself to be spanked and whipped, tied up, that sort of thing. He was very expensive.
About 2AM this morning, a neighbor got in late from a party and saw that his door was open. She's a friend and says that he was the model neighbor and tenant in every way, and only had about one client a week. His logbook confirms this. She said she called to him through the open door and, hearing no response, came inside to see if he was ok or if his apartment had been robbed. She saw him as he is and dialed 911.
He had no client logged last night. Forensics is dusting the place for prints and fibers, but there have been many women here so who knows if they'll find anything. They'll match what they find to his client list and we'll see who doesn't match.
The body has been struck with at least 5 different implements, all of which were hung again neatly in the closet where they are kept. You can see his front side. His back side appears to be much worse. Cause of death is still not known, but time of death has been established at about 1230AM this morning.
We've left the scene basically untouched so that you could see it, Jeffrey. Do some magic for us because we're getting big heat on this case...big heat from high places, if you know what I mean...
Jeffrey absorbed the information as he stood in the bedroom doorway, looking at the body. He didn't know Paul; probably from another school, he thought. He nodded to the lieutenant, "Got it," he said.
Lt. Sheldon cleared the forensics team out of the room and said, "Take a look around, detective, and tell me what you see."
Jeffrey put on latex gloves as he entered the room and turned in a full circle as he looked around. He pointed to a bookshelf, "There's a camera inside Moby Dick," he said. The lieutenant looked surprised but pleased, "Progress already," she muttered, and stuck her head out of the door to direct some techs to examine the book, and search all the furniture for that matter, when Jeffrey was through with the room.
Jeffrey looked in the closet and examined the spanking implements and other toys with which he was all too familiar. There were paddles, straps, crops, whips, and floggers, as well as clamps, cuffs, chains, a pinwheel, urethral sounds, and all the accoutrements of BDSM. "None of this is unusual; you'd find it all in the stock of any courtesan with his specialty."
Lt. Sheldon said, "Are there many of them? His specialty, I mean."
"Not really, there are probably 20 or so in a city this size. The boys who do this are always fair skinned and mark easily. Pale skin makes it easy for the client to see the results of her labors."
"Oh, my," the lieutenant couldn't help being surprised and embarrassed, "I had no idea...about there being so many boys, I mean."
"Certainly," said Jeffrey, "Supply molds itself to fit the market, as in all enterprise."
Lt. Sheldon was silently feeling embarrassed about the situation, and allowed Jeffrey to continue. But she was again pleased with her decision to call him in. This boy would have lots of valuable information to offer the investigation.
Jeffrey looked under the bed. "Pressure sensitive digital recorder; a working boy must not only protect himself, but can also pick up the odd stock tip. Women get talkative at certain times under certain conditions." He looked up to see the lieutenant blush, and with a satisfied grin, he moved to examine the body.
He started at the Paul's toes. In Jeffrey's mind, this was a courtesan named Paul. This was a real human being who had had a real life and hopes and dreams and family and regular clients – not just a victim - and not just a slut whose murder would just be filed away in a vault. Jeffrey was already getting pissed off and he had to calm himself to be clear headed and miss nothing as he began to examine the body.
"Recent pedicure...his legs, and probably whole body, were waxed...I see the marks of a leather flogger, a crop, a cane.... And something else...a wooden spoon, perhaps?" Lt. Sheldon had her notepad out and was writing notes as he spoke. "Thighs caned hard, deep bruising...continuing to hips and belly...genitals swollen prior to death...one testicle possibly ruptured... scrotum shows excessive stretching... recent... vascular connections to testicles severed... there it is, post-mortem incision to detach his testes... penis badly bruised... evidence of recent sounding due to open and stretched urethra... and... oh... "
Jeffrey walked back to the closet and removed a small leather case from a shelf. Opening it, he examined the contents of stainless steel rods of various girths about 8" long. One was missing. He lifted the case to show the lieutenant, "The missing sound is still in him; forced all the way in."
He went back to the body and reported the same findings of welts and bruising on Paul's torso. He looked at the boy's face, opened the eyelids to find adorable blue bloodshot eyes. He closed them. He opened the boy's pouting lips. "Be sure to have them swab his mouth for DNA, Ma'am, the overzealous client may have availed herself of some pleasurable services before beating this boy to death, and there could be trace DNA." Lt. Sheldon blushed as she made the notes.
Jeffrey looked at the boy's wrists and ankles and then said, "Amateur knots, Ma'am; whoever tied him up knows nothing about BDSM and bondage. Usually, a woman will take great care and use special knots to secure her boy properly. Women who like to tie boys up enjoy taking their time with the ropes in a loving way so as not to hurt him with the bonds. These knots were done by an idiot. This makes sense with dropping the sound – unless it was done purposely, in which case he'd have known then that his assailant planned to kill him."
Jeffrey looked up and said, "We should look at his back side now." Sheldon nodded and called into the other room. Techs came in and untied Paul and rolled him over as Jeffrey watched sadly.
The boy's back was much worse than the front side. "Amazing," said Jeffrey, "that he could take that beating and then still cooperate and be turned over and re-tied. Either there were multiple assailants enough to physically control him as he struggled, or more likely they had him at gunpoint, or he was drugged." Jeffrey looked down and then whispered, "Or he was in love..." he said.
Sheldon looked up from her note-taking, "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Graduate courtesans, among other things, are proficient in Krav Maga. They can handle themselves even in with a crowd. Paul could, until he was tied, take out any number of unarmed women and the armed ones if they were close enough. That's why physical control by multiple assailants is the least likely explanation."
"I understand, thank you. I meant about the 'in love' part, Jeffrey," she said with a soft voice, calling him by his first name instead of saying 'detective'. She was trying to be kind and Jeffrey understood it – maternal instincts kicking in and all that – she was concerned that this case was indeed striking too close to home for Jeffrey.
"Well, I just meant that his back side has taken quite a licking. Look at the deep purple bruising and welts on his bottom; very severe. But a boy in his line of work can take quite a lot, and if he were in love with her, he'd have the motivation to turn over and let her play with his front side too. He would trust her and just think she had been overzealous with his bottom. Otherwise there was a gun or drugs. More likely drugs since Krav Maga is pretty good at taking weapons away from assailants."
Lt. Sheldon smiled at the boy, "So you're a Krav Maga practitioner?" Her appreciation for this mysterious young man continued to grow with every new revelation.
Jeffrey paused and looked at her calmly. He said, "You're 10 feet from me, Ma'am, but if you started to draw your gun, I would take it away from you before you could fire it."
She considered his expression and the flat tone of his voice and marveled. "I think you're telling the truth," she said.
"Yes, Ma'am."
He began to examine the boy's back side from ankles to scalp. He found nothing but the evidence of a very severe discipline session that initially focused on the usual disciplinary areas – bottom and upper thighs – but had then moved on to include every square inch of the boy's skin. Other than that, Jeffrey found nothing more of interest to report.
Lt. Sheldon led him back to the living room and sat down with him on the couch, letting the techs have the room now to take it apart and bag everything for the lab, including the camera and recording device.
She looked him in the eyes and asked, "How are you doing, Jeffrey, are you ok with this?"
"Yes, Ma'am, I'm fine," he said, "I am very interested in catching the killer or killers. I won't fold on you, nor will I let the fact that I am really pissed off cloud my judgment or efficiency in any way."
"You aren't going to be personally affected by this case?"
"No, Ma'am."
"Then I have every confidence in you, Detective, and I am quite relieved. You did very well in the crime scene and we're going to catch the UnSub with your valuable help, I'm sure."
"Thank you, Ma'am," he said.
Lt. Sheldon adjusted herself more upright and got down to business. "Alright, I'd like you to tell me everything you can about how this boy lived and what he did. Be specific and don't feel embarrassed about anything." She got her notepad ready.
Jeffrey told her a lot of information about courtesans, 'the life' as they called it, and how this particular courtesan would have operated. After all Jeffrey had seen in the apartment, he could pretty well piece together the basics of Paul's probable life, and laid it out for his Boss...
Paul would have a website probably hosted internationally. His cell phone would have the numbers of many clients, but not all. He would certainly have all of his regulars so he could know when they were calling. Besides the website for attracting new clients, he would get a lot of business by word of mouth referral, so again, perhaps no records. His charges for a session would be very high. Based on his lifestyle in this building, he'd get as much as $10,000 for a severe session, but a session like that could last a weekend if the client wished.
He'd charge different rates for levels of intensity, usually referred to as 'light', 'heavy', and 'severe'. The big difference in money is the healing time for Paul. After a severe session, he might not be able to work again for many days until his marks healed and disappeared. Clients want a fresh boy to mark, and not to lay their marks atop another woman's work.
Some clients would want sexual contact on various levels, others would not. Probably most clients would enjoy touching his genitals, perhaps making him ejaculate, perhaps more than once. Many clients would want to be orally pleasured, and a few would have intercourse with him. All service 'add-ons' came with a dollar cost. It just depends on the woman's desires, as Paul would do whatever they wanted, as a true submissive male. But those services are available elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. So we're probably looking for someone with money and the taste for discipline first and foremost.
Also, there's an outside chance that Paul had a Matron – a regular client that was more than a client. She would not just pay for sessions; she'd pay part or all of his bills and consider him her personal consort. Although she'd have to let others play with him too, she would be his first priority and she would expect him to come to heel when she beckoned.
Paul's real business, in BDSM terms, was as a 'bottom'. In BDSM a 'bottom' is the boy who takes punishment and other pain play from his 'top' or in this case, the client. Paul was paid to take pain for his clients in any manner in which they chose to inflict it. The pain was not the point, but only the vehicle through which he could show his absolute submission to the client's absolute power over him. That power play was the true 'rush' of the scene.
But the 'Top' has responsibility for the welfare and safety of the 'bottom'. It is her job to show herself worthy of his trust and submission. A true 'Top' cares for and, at least on some level, loves for her 'bottom' and is worthy of his trust – she protects and nurtures him at the same time she dominates him.
Since most women had plenty of boys in their charge – husband, son, consort, nephew, whatever – they would regularly put those boys over their laps and spank and paddle to their heart's content. Very rarely does a woman whip or cane a boy of her own household as it's really unnecessary to inflict that much damage. A paddle can easily bring a boy to tears without leaving big welts that last for days. But a woman with means and a hidden desire to inflict more pain on a boy, will seek out Paul's sort of Courtesan so that she can fulfill her longings to go past the boundaries of 'normal' domestic discipline.
And we're not just talking about caning and whipping.
There is also 'genital play' – which involves the pinwheels, urethral sounds, hot wax, clips and clamps, testicle stretching, squeezing, and slapping, penis whipping, and the like – all these cause severe sensations in the male genitals. If a woman is inexperienced in genital play, she can do permanent damage to the boy's delicate parts – but because of that, most women are quite gentle and considerate of the boy's vulnerability and she will respect the limits of her own skill and experience. It is never the goal of a real client to actually damage a Courtesan.
But this was not the case with the killer. She did a lot of damage to Paul's genitals while he was still alive.
Inflicting severe pain on a boy in large amounts is usually a sexual turn on for the client who wants this service. She is excited to watch his body shiver and wiggle in torment, to hear him cry out in pain and beg for mercy, and to see his pale skin marked with redness, welts, or bruising. At the same time, she will also enjoy comforting and soothing the boy after the session, and sharing the intimacy of his trust and vulnerability. After the 'discipline' part of the session, and sometimes during, this sort of woman will also enjoy sexual stimulation of some kind with the object of her 'discipline'.
Role-playing is also an important part of playtime with a Courtesan like Paul. Doctor/patient, teacher/student, Aunt/nephew, even Mother/son, Policewoman/prisoner, and many others, are all 'normal' role-playing scenarios that Paul would have participated in with his clients many times.
The psychological makeup of this sort of client can vary greatly. Sometimes Paul is a surrogate, a stand-in if you will, for another boy that the woman wishes to punish. Sometimes she is reliving a past experience she'd greatly enjoyed earlier in her life. Sometimes the woman just loves to hear a helpless and vulnerable boy cry out and beg for mercy.
"Who knows what motivated the killer, but I can tell you this," said Jeffrey, "she does not like men. The reason I know this is because of the permanent damage done to his penis and testicles. Everything else could have been explained by a discipline session gone out of control. But for a woman to do permanent damage to a boys genitals is way out of the bell curve; very abnormal behavior, criminal behavior."
Seeing Sheldon nod in agreement, he continued, "Most women like male genitalia and are sensitive to how vulnerable a boy is there. A lot of women can get a thrill out of causing a boy some pain in his genitals, but to actually harm them permanently is very unusual. That sort of behavior comes from hatred, not kink."

Russian e-commerce store creator Ecwid has raised a $5 million Series B round.
The round was led by iTech Capital, while Runa Capital (which previously invested $1.5 million in the project) also contributed.
Ecwid is the most popular Facebook store-builder, with more than 300,000 monthly users. However, Facebook is just one of the platforms on which Ecwid clients can simultaneously operate online stores. It is precisely this flexibility that impressed iTech Capital managing partner Gleb Davidyuk:
"Ecwid is so popular because it is a true sell-anywhere storefront with universal integration on any online platform. This is a reason it has had stellar growth and profitability with a first round funding of just $1.5 million. Small and medium sized businesses are going to be the drivers of e-commerce growth over the next 5-10 years. There are millions of sites built with Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly and Yola on which Ecwid can can embed a full-featured store in minutes."
Ecwid founder and CEO Ruslan Fazlyev launched his first e-commerce builder, X-Cart, in 2000. While this PHP-platform for online storefronts proved successful in its own right, Fazlyev spotted a niche for an SaaS-based store-builder that allowed clients to operate stores across multiple platforms without changing their existing sites.
"Ecwid was designed to be a game-changer, making it possible to add a fully-functioning store to any existing web site, while preserving its design. It is exciting to see this vision come to fruition, and with strong partners like iTech and Runa, we look forward to accelerating our growth and continuing to improve our product."
While the company's R&D team is based in Ulyanovsk, a city in Russia's Volga Region, its global operations are coordinated from its US-office in California. Ecwid also has an American President, Jim O'Hara. He explained what the money will be spent on:
"Ecwid began as a way to let merchants sell from any website they prefer, without having to abandon their investment in an existing site or be locked into a dedicated e-commerce website. We used our first funding round to deliver this choice and flexibility to small businesses, and also to bring them rich functionality for mobile and social commerce.
iTech Capital is a $120 million fund that typically invests up to $10 million in e-commerce related projects. Recent additions to its portfolio include automised SMS-service MFMSolutions, flight search engine AviaSales and ticket retailer Ticketland.
Runa Capital is one of Russia's best known funds. Its tech-dominated portfolio includes successful Russian projects like Parallels, Acronis, Jelastic and NginX, as well as foreign projects including DrChrono and CloudPartner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can ovarian cysts grow?
I had a surgery last summer which removed a 20 cm large dermoid ovarian cyst as well as my left ovary and fallopian tube. It's been about 8 months since my surgery and lately I've been feeling similar symptoms. I know that those who have previously had ovarian cysts are prone to forming more in the future.
I've booked an appointment with my doctor but won't be able to see him for a few days and I was wondering, does anyone know how quickly ovarian cysts can grow? I'm only 19 years old and I'm worried that if I get another large cyst, I'll have to have my right ovary removed as well.
have you asked your doctor how fast they can grow when you made this appointment? i think that is really impotrant because to be honest i don't know how fast they can grow but i know they can burst very easily and very quickly. i had then at age 13 and they popped. it was the most painful thing. but now you are saying this invovles your right ovary then you NEED to call your doctor ASAP and ask if holding off this long on your appointment is too long
Sick for awhile, not sure what it could be? Hormones? Ovarian cysts?
Five months ago I went on bc pill but I didn't like the side effects so I stopped it about two months ago. Since stopping it I feel really sick, im not sure if it's just because my hormones are adjusting or because I have an ovarian cyst but its really starting to worry me.
Right after stopping bc I got all the symptoms I had when pregnant with my daughter (I'm not pregnant) things like sore breasts and nausea. I lost ten pounds in two weeks and have continued to loose weight. I currently weigh only 100 lbs which is way to low. I don't have an appetite but I make myself eat a lot because I really don't want to lose anymore weight. No matter how much I eat I just can't seem to gain any weight and I keep losing slowly. I also have been really tired and just don't have any energy to do anything, I usually have a really good memory but I seem to forget everything lately, I also keep getting really dizzy and lightheaded often. I have always gotten lightheaded when I stand to quick but it seems to happen all the time right now, even when sitting.I have been urinating alot too, it almost seems like im releasing more fluid than im taking in, and when I do go I get a strange cramp it seems like its from the pressure of emptying my bladder. I have also had alot of discharge since stopping the pill, I have to wear pads everyday. It feels like a period but it is clear and has no smell. I have alot of other strange symptoms too like constipation, loss of sex drive, back pain, and a weird taste in my mouth.
I went to the ER two days ago because I was having extreme pains in my lower left side. They did a CT scan and blood tests and told me I have a large ovarian cyst. I have always gotten cysts on my ovaries and sometimes they are painful and other times not as bad, but I have never had one hurt like this one. I haven't been able to get out of bed for three days now, they usually only last about a day. I have an OB appointment tomorrow afternoon and plan to talk to them about everything, but it just seems like every time I go to the doctor they don't take me seriously. I really feel like something is wrong but the blood tests from the ER came back good and the only thing the CT scan showed was the cyst.
I'm sorry this is so long but if anyone has any advice it would be really helpful, I just don't want to go to the doctor tomorrow and have another person tell me nothing is wrong and its probably just hormones or stress. Its been really hard being sick for this long with a two year old to care for along with school and work. Thank you (:
Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or decrease. Cutting calories is normally a lot easier than you may possibly think.
For example, that daily tall latte within the morning may possibly pack 500 calories. Because a pound of flab (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to three,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you shed a pound a week.
Other effortless cuts include salad dressing (salad dressing may be the number 1 source of fat in the average American woman's diet[3]), soda pop, candy, and butter. Appear at the nutritional details for the meals you eat, pay unique attention to your intake of saturated fats and empty calorie, high-sugar foods. You do not will need to cut these issues out completely, but should you decrease your intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods you will shed weight faster.
I am 15; Doc said I have a large ovarian cyst?
Hey, I am 15 years old, and I went to get a yearly checkup from my doc. I told her about my terrible cramps and she made me lay down on the bench on the office. She felt my lower stomach on both sides and could distinctly feel a lump to the right. She told me I have an ovarian cyst and it pops everytime I'm on my period. Is it normal to have a cyst? And how big should it get before I go back and see about getting it removed? Please help- My cramps are really bad and my flow is really heavy due to this cyst. Idk what to do; I can't concentrate right now because it hurts so bad. Thank you
BTW- I'm not new at this whole period stuff, so I don't need the whole "Everyone's different" speech. Lol, thanks.
Thanks greenbean
I don't know why I didn't ask her. All I know is that I didn't ask her, and obviously that is why I'm asking you now. It would be polite if you would help, but since you aren't, why are you going to waste your time answering the question
Was this an actual GYN exam? Anything big enough to feel otherwise would be a problem. A cyst that typically ruptures like it should would not be palpable since they are generally very small. Those that don't, mostly, aren't palpable either unless they become very enlarged.
She may be making an educated guess as to the cause, and yes, severe cramps and heavy bleeding are major symptoms of cysts. Did she want to do a more thourough exam? Blood work? Untrasound imaging? Anything large enough to feel should be further evaulated.
There are some hormone conditions (such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, although having cysts does not mean you have the syndrome) in which many cysts can develop, fail to rupture, and overgrow, cauing pain. If they do not reputre when estrogen livels drop midcycle, progesterone does not rise, which can cause heavy periods and cramping. For some women, periods seem to stop, and the uterine lining overgrows, leading to hyperplasia. Many women are prescribed birth control to medicate this problem (the cramps, the hormone imballance, reduceing the number and size of the cysts, the heavy bleeding or absence of periods, the hyperplasia). Left untreated, unreputred cysts can lead to fertility problems and hyperplasia can lead to uterine cancer in another 30 years.
Not all over the counter or even prescription pain killers will relieve menstrual cramp pain. If your usual brand isn't doing it for you, try one with a different active ingredient. Some women get better relief, believe it or not, through masterbation (orgasm releases a hormone, oxytocin I believe, that is a good pain killer).
I have a large ovarian cyst, could this mean i have endometriosis?
I'm 18 years old, and i originally went for an ultra sound because i was peeing frequently, so they had to check my bladder and kidneys. That's when they found a 9cm cyst on my right ovary.
The only symptoms i had of the cyst were the frequent peeing, fatigue, and mood swings at this point, i had no pain.
I went to the gynecologist right before my period, so she told me that i'll get another ultra sound in 2 weeks after my period, to see if it will go away or shrink.
My period was REALLY painful, i had cramps so bad i took 4 ibuprofen, and the pain was still strong through that. I normally get cramps the first full day of my period, but it's nothing ibuprofen can't handle.
Ever since my period (which was about two weeks ago) My cyst symptoms have increased every night.
I can't sleep at night because my belly and my boobs are so sore to the touch and i can't get comfortable enough so i have to wait til morning to sleep.
I do take excederine to help me sleep, but it doesnt reallly help much
Anyways, i went for my second ultra sound yesturday, and last night the doctor called and told me i would have to have surgery to remove the cyst because it deffinitly did not go away. Luckily, she said it could be done laparoscopically, but i would have to wait til the first week of december as next week their operation day is full, and the week after is thanksgiving.
Anyways! Those are all the details. What i want to know is: Could i have endometriosis?
Also, if you've had this surgery, how was your recovery? What should i expect after the surgery?
I'm only 18, will this effect my fertility in the future?
The presence of a cyst is no indiction that you have endo, because cysts are common for many reasons, both with and without endo. There's a type of cyst that only happens for those with endo–a chocolate cyst (yes, that is what it is called, because it is filled with brown, chocolate-looking stuff that is actually old blood). Did your doc mention anything about that? In any case, you will find out in 2 weeks if you have endo, because the ONLY way to definitively see if you have endo is through laparoscopic examination. So bring this issue up with your doc before the surgery and get their opinion and make sure it's on their radar to check during surgery.
You should recover pretty quickly. Most of the pain will be gone within maybe 2 days, and you might not stay in the hospital overnight. You'll need someone to take care of you for a few days, and you won't be allowed to drive for a short time, and you definitely shouldn't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 3 weeks. There is always a possibility that the doc will have to remove your whole ovary when you get the cyst out. But this won't affect fertility since you have 2 ovaries, and one ovary alone can do the work of 2 ovaries, so you won't even notice any difference. But that's all hypothetical–your doc may very well remove the cyst alone.
I'm sorry you have to go through this, but you will recover quickly and will be fine.
How do ovarian cysts go away?
I recently got a larger then most ovarian cyst. How do ovarian cysts go away? All I've read so far is they 'pop' causing terrible pain. I go to school; and I don't want that to happen there, how embarssing would that be! My question is; how do ovarian cysts go away? Do they pop the majority of the time? What can I do to prevent popping them?
They don't always pop. Sometimes your body just slowly reabsorbs the fluid. Other times, they do pop. Sometimes you notice that and it's very painful, other times you don't. From my work, I know cysts are VERY common, so I would guess that many women have cysts that come and go and don't even know it, so I think the majority of the time they do not pop abruptly. I don't know what you can do to avoid popping it, maybe try to avoid being hit in the pelvis really hard? Good luck!

I have a CssResource where I want to have some of the css classes "mapped" to methods:
String topTable();
But I want to turn off the obfuscation GWT does (while developing at least, for better debugging in firebug, etc).
Is there an easy way to achieve this? I know I can use @external in my css file but then I have to define all my css classes like @external .c1, .c2, .c3, etc...
Something like @external .* would solve my problem but that doesn't seem to be available at least in gwt 2.0.x
My current solution is to use:
<set-configuration-property name="CssResource.style" value="pretty"/>
But that doesn't turn off the obfuscation, just makes it prettier :) I know obf is needed to avoid collisions but I don't have that in my case and would really like to turn off obfuscation

House Republicans challenge Jindal budget tactics
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Nineteen members of the Louisiana House, nearly all Republicans, asked the attorney general Monday whether the state's budget uses unconstitutional sources of financing. The move lodges a direct challenge to Gov. Bobby Jindal's budgeting tactics.
The request sent to Attorney General Buddy Caldwell is the latest strategy in a continuing struggle between a group of conservative House Republicans and the GOP governor over the use of one-time, piecemeal funding to pay for continuing government programs.
"Legislators are concerned whether Louisiana's state budget is constitutional and lawful," Rep. Kirk Talbot, R-River Ridge, said in a statement.
Talbot, usually a Jindal ally, filed the opinion request with Caldwell's office on behalf of a list of 18 Republicans and one lawmaker without party affiliation in the House.
A group of conservative House Republicans who call themselves "fiscal hawks" have criticized the patchwork funding as inappropriate, saying it's irresponsible to use money that isn't certain to appear year after year. But they have been unsuccessful in blocking use of the money, including about $270 million for ongoing expenses in the fiscal year that began July 1.
The Jindal administration said public colleges and health services would have faced devastating cuts without the funding, and a majority of lawmakers agreed to use the money to stave off the reductions. Senators voted unanimously for a budget that included the patchwork financing.
The dollars come from the sale of state-owned buildings, loan repayments, legal settlements, unused fund balances and other available pools of financing.
Talbot's letter notes that the Louisiana Constitution and state law require a balanced budget and say legislative appropriations can't exceed the state's official revenue forecast. He said the current 2012-13 budget spends about $240 million above what was recognized by the state's income estimating panel, and he claims that's a violation of state law.
He said the state constitution includes limits on how to use money deemed "nonrecurring," and the budget violates those restrictions by funneling dollars through a series of shell games to get around the limits.
He also questions whether some of the land sales and unused fund balances even exist, such as $35 million from the sale or lease of the state-owned New Orleans Adolescent Hospital and $56 million from insurance proceeds that the state hasn't yet received.
"Their predictable failure to materialize will result in a budget deficit and year-end funding cuts, cuts that could have been better planned for and anticipated had the budget been crafted in accordance with the Constitution," Talbot wrote.
Jindal spokeswoman Shannon Bates defended the budget.
"The budget that was passed by the Legislature is constitutional, doesn't spend more dollars than the state takes in and protects higher education and health care services," Bates said in an email. "It doesn't make sense to make unnecessary cuts to health care and higher education."
Previous governors have used similar budget maneuvers with one-time financing, but Jindal has run into stronger criticism from newer lawmakers, who say the governor hasn't lived up to his claims of fiscal conservatism and blame the piecemeal funding for repeated budget shortfalls.

Hi All,
The admin console for setting the "MTA Trusted Networks" seems to not work in 4.5.1. Is this a known bug? I tried several different syntax's to set it - but the interface would only accept a string like "192.168.1.010.10.0.0" which obviously broke postfix. There is a method to set this with zmprov that is documented in the wiki - which worked for me - but a heads up to anyone trying to use the admin console.

Access to secure facilities using the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
The customer
The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the federal agency responsible for security in all modes of transportation. Joint customer for the project is The United States Coast Guard (USCG), a branch of the United States armed forces and one of seven uniformed services.
The challenge
The customer wished to issue a tamper-resistant biometric credential to maritime workers requiring access to secure port facilities and vessels. To obtain a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC), an applicant must provide biographic and biometric (fingerprint) information, sit for a digital photograph and successfully pass a security threat assessment conducted by the TSA.
A key customer desire was to follow US Government Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) standards, to achieve interoperability and implement best practice security processes.
Requirements included:
- Use of FIPS 201 (PIV) compatible technology and processes
- Combined centralized production with local card activation
- Over 160 distributed enrollment and activation centers throughout the US
- Integration with central card personalization bureau for secure printing
- Fingerprint verification of applicant prior to card activation
- Integration with central identity management infrastructure
- Multi-application card combining contact and contactless technology
- Strong authentication of operators and non-repudiation of operator actions
The MyID solution
MyID is passed registration data from an IDMS and formats it into a card personalization request; this is forwarded to the personalization bureau. Printed cards are locked and sent to activation locations. The receipt of a card batch is used to trigger a notification to the applicant that their card is ready for activation. The applicant visits an activation location, places their card into a MyID activation station and follows a simple self-service workflow that requires biometric verification before the card is unlocked, personalized with certificates and activated for use.
Solution benefits
Production of PIV compatible credentials
Biometric authentication of applicants for high security
Smart card PKI security for operator actions
Multi server deployment for high availability
Load balanced deployment for high volume throughput
Simple web-based workflows for maximum ease of use
Monitoring of card production status from a single console
Bureau high security printing combined with on-card key generation for maximum security

Shortly after midnight last night, with slightly too much alcohol in my system, I was asked if I have ever played Slender. Based on the Slender Man mythos, Slender is an experiment in fear. And it is one experience that this gamer won't soon forget.
Slender plays, quite astutely, like a nightmare. It drops you in a forest in the middle of the night without so much as a hint as to how or why you ended up there, and tasks you with gathering eight pages. The objective is at the same time direct and yet as vague as can possibly be. What are these pages? Why the hell am I running around in the dark looking for them? What happens when I find them? Details such as this Slender feels, is best left up to the player to figure out. The set-up doesn't require a lot explaining to hook the player – its spooky premise is enough to interest just about anyone. And by the time you come across one of these mysterious pages, each scrolled with a warning to the effect of 'Can't run…', Slender has already gotten inside of your head.
The intensity of Slender is predicated on old school, B-Movie horror, kind of like a bad slasher movie without all the slashing. Torn from the pages of a Friday the 13th, there is a palpable sense of dread, of isolation, and the fear that any moment you are going to bite the big one. Instead of some pissed-off goalie with a penchant for gutting horny teenagers with a machete, you are stalked by a faceless man in a suit and tie known as the Slender Man. It is unclear what exactly the Slender Man does once he catches up to you. He doesn't really attack you, he sort of manifests when you least expect it, again drawing the horror movie parallel of how just about every slasher film icon is able to appear almost anywhere at will. Slender Man's appearance is heralded by a static noise, one of the few audio cues the game gives you as for the most part you are surrounded by the sound of your own breath.
There is no 'Game Over' screen, no 'Try Again'. Only a still haunting shot of the Slender Man's non-face as the screen is devoured up by white noise before it exits you out of the game completely. It's like the equivalent of having someone hit reset on your console every time you lose a life. The game dares you come back, but not without letting you know just how severely it has bested you. It taunts you, beckons you to return to the woods. And again, like any longstanding horror series where a bunch of people were mercilessly slaughtered and everyone just keeps coming back to the scene cause, 'it's going to be different this time', your own morbid curiosity will trump your sense of logic every time. It's why you say 'Bloody Mary' in the mirror three times on Halloween night. It's why you brave a visit to that abandoned neighborhood house that everyone keeps talking about. The thought of a genuine scare is just too irresistible to pass up on. So you keep going back for more. You want to get those pages. Slender has a way of getting under your bones. It's that creepy. And you'll love every second of it.
It's hard to classify Slender as a game; there are no conventional game mechanics per say. There is no life meter or life counter. There is no inventory safe for the flashlight in your hand and the pages you collect. Stamina plays a role as you are only able to run for a relatively short period of time before you begin to huff and puff – just like in real life. The flashlight has some sort of predetermined lifespan to it. and again, you wouldn't know it since there is no heads-up display or anything to indicate just when it's going to die out . And no, turning off your flashlight won't magically renew its battery life – this isn't Alan Wake. All you are really doing is prolonging the inevitable because at some point, somewhere in that forest you are going to end up alone in the dark. There is a single objective as stated earlier – to gather the eight pages – and there is an identifiable foe in the Slender Man. So clearly we have the basic foundations of a game, but it manages to be something else entirely. This is somewhere between videogame and interactive experience. Titles like Journey and Dear Esther come to mind where you are presented with a world and are merely a part of it as it unfolds before you. Slender on the other hand has enough characteristics to classify it as a game, but none are ever fully realized to truly make it so.
Lost is the operative word in Slender. There are times where you think the engine is just plain messing with you as trees seem to be multiplying all around. You can easily spot the low-budget nature of the project as anything that isn't a tree such as a chain-link fence, or a truck, or a building, instantly pop up into view as if out of nowhere, practically screaming, 'Walk this way!' It isn't a bad thing mind you, in fact it backs up the whole 'nightmare-feel' Slender is going for. It gives you no real sense of guidance or direction. It actually makes you fearful of exploring but the longer you stand still, the closer Slender Man gets.
Slender comes around just in time where survival horror is taking a bit of a beating. Resident Evil and sadly even Dead Space have abandoned every horror convention in favor of straight-up action. It's a comfort to know that there are people out there that not only get horror, but are able to communicate without all the bells and whistles that developers feel the genre needs. Slender thrives on the idea of less is more. And the result is an experience that will forever haunt even the most ardent of horror fans.
You can download a free beta of Slender for Windows or for Mac.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
I am looking for language speaking to if the contract is terminated early some of the money will be refunded.
Additionally, could or should the agreement address damages as a result of the service ending abruptly and leaving me "in a bad situation"??
Ok. You can add language that states that the fee is to cover a two year period, if the service is terminated by either party for any reason prior to the end of the 2 years period, that a pro rated amount of the fee will be refunded. You could also add a liquidated damages section, which would state that if they terminate the agreement, you will be entitled to liquidated damages of X dollars.
I can give some samples, but I am not allowed to draft your contract clause for you.
Termination and Refund. The term of this Service Agreement is 24 months. The agreed upon price for the 24 month period is X dollars. This agreement may be terminated at any time by either party.
A. Termination for Convenience: If A (you) terminates the Agreement for convenience, B shall be entitled to the entire fee of X dollars. If B terminates the agreement, the fee shall be refunded at a pro rated for the remainder of the term of the agreement.
B. Termination for Cause: If A terminates the Agreement because of B's failure to perform as agreed, B shall return the portion of the fee at a pro rated.
C. Calculation of Pro Rated Rate: The total fee of X dollars is for a 24 month period. Each month shall be 1/24 of the fee. The fee shall be earned on the 1st day of each month. In the event of a termination, the fee for that month shall be considered earned, and every month thereafter shall be refunded.
This is just a general sample... you will have to play with it to make it work for you.
I would appreciate it if you could forward the examples of the Liquidated Damages Section.
Upon receipt of that, I should be "good" and I can ACCEPT ANSWER
If B cancels the agreement or the agreement is terminated due to nonperformance, B shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of $X per day for the remainder or unexpired portion of the term of the agreement.
If B cancels the agreement or the agreement is terminated due to nonperformance, B shall pay liquidated damages in the lump sum amount of $X

Linda Lyman held the envelope in her hand and took a deep breath.
She was looking at the return address: Season for Sharing, the program her non-profit organization had applied to for funding.
A quick wave of dismay passed over her. The envelope was rather flat. Rejection letters come in thin envelopes like this, she thought.
It was 2004, the first time her organization, now called New Pathways for Youth, had applied to Season for Sharing, the annual fundraising campaign run by Republic Media — The Arizona Republic and 12 News. The goal is to raise money to help Arizona programs and agencies care for children, domestic-violence services, education and literacy, and the elderly.
Lyman, president and chief executive officer, thinks back to why her organization needed financial help.
"It was a challenging year for us," she explained. "Every penny was making a difference. It meant whether you serve one more kid or one less kid."
Her organization provides several programs but mainly aims to help "marginalized kids," Lyman said. "Those who live in poverty get in trouble with the law, get in trouble with drugs or in trouble with school."
So, when the envelope arrived that day in early 2004, Lyman hoped for the best.
It was good news. Her group would receive $5,000.
That moment still resonates in her mind today.
"The first thing I thought was how grateful I was to the donors," she said. "And today, I can still in my mind's eye see the kids who were served that year."
Over the years, Season for Sharing has provided New Pathways — formerly Greater Phoenix Youth at Risk — about $67,800.
Lyman said she appreciates the efforts of donors.
"It's like getting funding from your neighbor next door," she said. "These are selfless heroes donating money to make lives better."
This year's campaign, which is in its final week, has raised more than $2.72million, which is more than what was collected by this time last year, said Gene D'Adamo, vice president of community relations for The Republic. A final push could put the campaign at its goal of $2.8 million, he said.
Donors can still contribute by calling 602-444-8661, via today's A2 coupon or by going to azcentral.com/season.
"We are incredibly humbled by the trust the donors put in us to do the best with their dollars, and every year, for 19 years, they are overwhelmingly generous to their neighbors," D'Adamo said. "It's all going back to the community. We take their trust very, very seriously."
D'Adamo said he knows for the agencies that apply, any funding can make a difference.
"They are in the trenches every day," he said.
This year, 201 agencies applied for grants totaling $4.65 million. For the 2012 campaign, 122 agencies were chosen for funding.
By the end of February, letters will go out to the organizations letting them know whether they will receive funding. D'Adamo said the wait is long for applicants, most of whom first send in their requests in summer and early fall.
Lyman said New Pathways has applied again for this year. She knows there is no guarantee.
"But the wonderful thing is that you can apply each year."

County hikes fees
1 2 3 Next page >
The Republican-controlled Nassau County Legislature on June 16 approved fee increases for many county services, including parks, museums, pools, golf, marinas and vendor registration. County Executive Ed Mangano, who proposed the fee hikes in May, signed them into law June 19.
The fee increases will raise $15 million in new revenue for the county, according to Mangano spokesman Brian Nevin. The Nassau Interim Finance Authority, a state financial control board, last month instructed Mangano to amend the county's 2014-17 budget to show how the county would pay for contracts with four labor unions. NIFA pegged the contracts' cost at $129 million over four years, according to a published report. The County Legislature's nonpartisan budget review office estimated the cost at $120 million to $292 million.
The Legislature passed the fee hikes on June 16 in a 10-9 vote. All eight of the chamber's Democrats voted against them, and 10 of its 11 Republicans voted for them. Legislator Michael Venditto, a Massapequa Republican, voted against the increases. He is running this year for State Senate against Legislator Dave Denenberg, a Merrick Democrat.
Mangano's office last week referred questions about the fee hikes to the Legislature. Matthew Fernando, a spokesman for Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves, provided information about the vote, and Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams's office provided information about the increases, but Gonsalves and Abrahams did not comment on the hikes.
Tim Sullivan, deputy county executive for finance, said in May that the bills raise the maximum fees county departments may charge, but the decision to implement fee increases rests with the departments.
"Most of the fees bring the county on par with neighboring municipalities and defer the costs associated with delivering the service or making capital investments to improve the service," Sullivan stated in an email. "This is not a tax increase."

Midday Roundup: China takes home American bacon
Historic sale. A Chinese company announced today it has agreed to pay $4.72 billion to acquire the world's largest pork producer, Virginia-based Smithfield Foods Inc. If shareholders approve the deal, it will be the largest Chinese acquisition of an American company. Hong Kong-based Shuanghui owns a variety of global businesses that include food, logistics and flavoring products and is the majority shareholder in China's largest meat processing enterprise. Smithfield owns brands such as Armour, Farmland and its namesake. Under the terms of the deal, approved by the boards of both companies, Smithfield will retain its Virginia headquarters in the tiny town where the company was founded in 1936. Shuanghui also will honor collective bargaining agreements with Smithfield's 46,000 workers.
Drone strike. The Taliban's second in command in Pakistan reportedly died in an American drone strike today, Pakistani intelligence officials said. Waliur Rehman participated in cross-border attacks in Afghanistan against United States and NATO forces. In 2010, U.S. officials offered $5 million for information that would lead to him. Rehman was wanted in connection with his involvement in an attack on a U.S. base in Khost, Afghanistan, in 2009 that killed seven Americans. A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban denied reports of Rehman's death.
French militant attack. A 21-year-old French convert to Islam has admitted attacking a French solider with a knife earlier this week in Paris. Officials suspect the attack might have been inspired by a similar incident in London last week, in which two Muslim men killed a British soldier in broad daylight on a busy street. The French soldier was treated and released from the hospital. Officials say the suspect, whose full name has not been released, has been a follower of "traditionalist even radical Islam for the last three or four years." He also has been in trouble before for theft and possession of firearms. Police tracked him down using video footage taken near the crime scene and DNA from a fruit juice bottle found in a bag nearby.
Human error. Marine officials announced today that human error was responsible for the March training accident in Nevada that killed seven Marines. According to an official statement, "The Marines employing one of the mortars did not follow correct procedures, resulting in the detonation of a high explosive round at the mortar position." An unnamed source said a Marine put a mortar round in the tube as another round was being fired, triggering the explosion. Three officers were relieved of their command following the incident. Brig. Gen. James Lukeman, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, relieved the officers "because he lost trust and confidence in their ability to ensure proper preparation for, and conduct of, live fire training events," the statement said. The three remain on active duty.

Singh, what oil did you use for replacement? I know the factory specs motor oil but I'm thinking of swapping mine out soon for some 7.5W synthetic fork oil. Maybe add some preload too.
I used FORK OIL 10W by BelRay
I have a question about the Hagon shocks (Z90665) advertised on the Nfield Gear website. I just bought a 2011 RE G5 Bullet Classic and love the bike but not-so-crazy about the ride - it definitely needs improvement. The Hagon ad says they "significantly improve ride and handling." Does anybody out there have any personal experience with these shocks? At $325 a pair, I'd like to have someone with some experience tell me about 'em before I pop for that much money. Thank you, and have a nice ride! Wayne in Northern California
Hey, Singh; You mention replacing the factory fork oil with BelRay 10 and that sounds like a great idea. I just drained the forks in my 2011 G5, found dirty, heavy - at least 30 or 40w - oil, 160cc in one side, 170cc in the other. The factory service manual says to use 265cc oil in each fork, but the included Riders Handbook says to use "200 m / leg." What the hell is 220 m, and how much oil did you use in each fork? 265 just seems to me to be too much. Thank you. Wayne in Santa Rosa, Ca
I have one question about the forks......they seem very lightly dampened. I guess I should check out my oil but would like to know if this is normal ? Thanks guys, a great and helpful forum.
Hi y'all, interesting about the shorter shocks on the C5. Does it cure the weaving once the bike is beyond 60 mph?Cheers shappers.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on March 20, 2013
H.R. 1033 would expand the American Battlefield Protection Program to include battlefields from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 and would authorize the appropriation of $10 million a year over the 2014-2018 period for this program. For 2013, about $9 million was appropriated for this program. The amounts authorized for each year would be used to provide financial assistance to state or local governments to purchase land that has been identified by the National Park Service as eligible for protection through the program but is not contained within the boundaries of a unit of the National Park System.
Assuming appropriation of the newly authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1033 would cost $46 million over the 2014-2018 period and about $4 million after 2018. Enacting H.R. 1033 would not affect revenues or direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1033 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

The Town of Copperas Cove, Texas, is a town with a true sense of community. Nestled among rolling country hillsides, grand oak trees, and an abundance of natural wildlife roaming amidst the sage and cacti, Copperas Cove offers some of the finest real estate options for the discerning homebuyer today. The real estate market in Copperas Cove provides homebuyers with a variety of properties including golf course homes, rural county homes, or prestigious executive homes.
Copperas Cove was originally settled in the 1840s after Texas declared independence, and it is located between Dallas and San Antonio. The Santa Fe Railroad was a focal point for those wishing to settle the area, along with the exceptional land topography for cattle farming. In the early 1900s, commerce and business brought a boom to the area that is still present today. The town is home to many fine military families due to its close proximity to Fort Hood, the nation's largest military base.
Fort Hood, also the state's largest employer, borders Copperas Cove to the north and east. The military influence on the area is greatly seen in the local commerce and business development. The housing market here offers affordable homes for sale in many desirable neighborhoods, for more than 400 soldiers returning to civilian life each month.
The Copperas Cove Independent School District serves as the educational system of the town and is a highly regarded district, both on the state and national levels. Central Texas College is also located within the region of Copperas Cove. There are many parks and recreational facilities located within the area, all designed to protect and preserve the natural beauty of the Copperas Cove real estate market and to provide opportunities for everyone including swimming pools, hiking trails, volleyball courts, tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, picnic areas, and more.
The town of Copperas Cove is a family-oriented, friendly community that takes pride in the celebration of its heritage and the surrounding land. The Festival of Five Hills, an annual celebration each May, pays tribute to the beautiful countryside that surrounds the area. The Ogletree Gap Heritage Festival is another annual event that pays tribute to this prosperous Texas Hill Country. The peaceful and natural surroundings of Copperas Cove have made the area a haven for bicyclists and other outdoor enthusiasts, unofficially naming it "Bike Central, Texas."
The real estate market in Copperas Cove provides homebuyers with every option available today including condos and townhouses, single family homes in friendly neighborhoods, sprawling rural farmland, golf course homes, and fine estates. This beautiful city, with strong military roots, provides homebuyers the ability to live the American dream in the heart of Central Texas.
