I needed to head out and meet the girls, so I made my way up the hill to grab my deer rifle. When I made to the top, I grabbed my rifle and wiped off the dirt. I searched for a few minutes to find my brass; I found one fired cartridge and one unfired round. Someone else was interested in what was going on. I had faith in the girls to make it safely to the rendezvous.
My time needed to be spent on finding anyone else left out here. I made a big circle and came back to the highway. I hunkered down and waited. After an hour of silence, I heard some rustling down by the creek. Then a body slowly appeared from the ditch, and made its way across the road to where I buried the supplies.
The person looked around carefully and took their hood off. It was a woman, mid thirties with long blonde hair. She started to dig, when she reached the containers of food she stopped.
She filled her small bag with as much food as she could before ripping some open to eat. As she ate, I slowly got to my feet and made my way across the road to her. When I got within 10 feet of her, I said "If you wanted food you could have asked." She jumped and turned around as she let out a scream.
I put my finger to my lips and shushed her. She crawled on her back away from me as fast as she could. I laid down my ar followed by my rifle. To show her that I meant no harm I raised my hands. I told her my name and that I didn't want to hurt her, after a few minutes the shock wore off and she began to calm down. She composed herself, and we headed back to the house.
Her name was Lilly, and she was in the reserves. She had been following the trucks wonder woman beaten and forced to cum, watching them take hostages and bring them back to holding camps in the city. There were entire high rise buildings full of prisoners, heavily guarded all hours of the day. I found her some clothes so that she could take off her fatigues and relax a bit. It was almost noon now and we needed to head out, so we gathered up our gear and headed down the back roads.
I marked on her map where we were heading, and started taking every short cut that we could to try and catch up to the girls. A dusk neared we decided to stop at an abandoned house for the night. There was a small creek nearby that I gathered water from. When I returned to the house Lilly had a small stove going to sterilize the water. She had changed out of her clothes into a pair of shorts and a really small bikini top.
When I asked her about it she said that it made her forget about everything that was happening, and that was a good enough reason for me. I was quite enjoying her milky white skin, and the subtle sway of her breasts as she moved about. She packed her things very methodically, everything had a perfect place in her bag. I teased her about being ocd in between bites of my busty stepmom fucks her broken hearted stepdaughter. She laughed quietly to herself before saying, "Maybe just a little." After she packed, we joked as we ate sitting around the dining table of this house, it almost felt normal.
As I readied for bed I heard muffled moans coming from one of the bedrooms. The moonlight streamed in through the window, and lit up Lilly's face and body. Her bikini top was pushed to the sides and she only had one leg in her shorts. Her right hand fingered her pale pink pussy and her left hand played with her tits when she wasn't trying to muffle her cries with it.
She gently pulled on her nipples as she circled her clit with two fingers gently pulling on it occasionally. A she started to have another orgasm she stuffed her fingers and started stroking her g-spot furiously. When it finally hit, it hit hard. Her face grimaced as her body seized, and sprayed her juices all over the bed.
She softly played with her clit as she came down from her euphoric high. I called her name before I entered the room, she covered her breasts with her top as I came in. I was Wearing a pair of gym shorts since the night was warm, and she motives for me to lay beside her.
As I sat on the bed, she pulled my face to hers; our tongues darted in and out of each other's mouth. She ran one hand down my chest and into my shorts, pulling out my hard dick. She stroked me as we kissed, her fingernails brushing against me ausgebremst von geilen biestern outdoor pornstar hardcore german young teen blowjob every stroke.
I ripped off her top, and attacked her breasts as she moaned. I cradled her neck with one hand, and wrapped the other around her waist as I took turns sucking on her pink nipples. Then I threw her legs I'm the air and lapped at her dripping pussy, taking in the beautiful sight and smell.
Her landing strip tickled my nose as I shoved my tongue into her warm wet hole. She screamed in ecstasy as I continued to lick up and down her slit, taking my time with her. My face was dripping with her juices, when I picked her up and threw her backwards into the wall.
I grabbed her waist and pinned her in place, while I slipped into her. She rocked her hips forward and wrapped her legs around me wanting to be penetrated.
It didn't take much to enter her, she was more then wet enough. For several minutes I pounded deep into her, using the wall for leverage; kissing my way up and down both sides of her neck.
wicked masturbation session of a blonde webcam model masturbate homemade When my legs began to tire, I pulled her deep onto my dick and stepped top the bed. She leaned back mid orgasm, and we crashed down on to the bed.
Without missing a beat, I threw our entangled bodies on to the soaked mattress. I slammed deep into her pussy trying to keep a fast pace. She tightened her pussy around my dick as she let out another scream. Her juices hit my stomach and covered us both with her scent. Within a few strokes I was cumming deep inside of her.
We laid together for the rest of the night, the smell of sex lingering heavily in the air. The next morning Lilly and I packed up and continued down the road. We kept a quick pace, wanting to catch up to the girls before nightfall. We made it almost two miles down the road before hearing gunfire. Expecting the worst, I ran off towards the impending danger leaving Lilly behind.
I made it to the next tree line, before I could see what was happening. There were several dead on the ground, three young males tied up and blindfolded, and to females surrounded my five men in uniform. Both women were tied up, and the soldiers were ripping clothing from one of them.
I could hear one of the makes trying to plead with the soldiers, when Lilly caught up. I set up my rifle and told Lilly that I had four shots, and for her to wound the fifth. One of the soldiers yelled at the pleading man in English, Lilly had her target the rest was up to me.
It lasted only a few seconds, four men lay dead at the feet of the girls and the fifth was trying to crawl away. We ran to help out the group, Lilly cut the girls loose and attended to the guys as I drug the soldier away. After an hour of talking with him, he told me what I wanted and I returned to Lilly. The group we found comprised of a young couple, two of their friends, and an Army PFC that they found along the way. I pulled Lilly and Nina, the PFC, to the side. I needed to know everything that they knew.
Nina showed me on the map where the lines had been drawn at her last briefing. Where we were headed was 30 miles behind the lines. A nearby state park had been turned into a staging area, and all US missions are being carried from there. Nina and her group would follow us until we needed to part ways.
The afternoon was quiet, with the exception of whining from the back of the group. When we settled down fir the night I pulled Nina and Lilly aside to talk. I needed Nina to get me supplies, I gave her a list with supplies and a frequency to get in touch with me.
I gave Lilly the choice to stay or go, but she said that she couldn't make a decision. Afterwards large woman walking around with a fake cock settled in fir a quick rest. At about three o'clock, I woke up everyone in the group and we heading out again.
After walking for two hours, we stumbled on a small camp. The group stayed back while I checked it out. I slowly walked up to the camp, circling it as I got closer. "Amber," I whispered. I heard rustling in the leaves. "Star" I whispered louder.
"Texas," was whispered softly back before she ran to me. After nearly knocking me to the ground, she wrapped her arms around me and gave me a passionate kiss. "We thought that you died," she said with tears I'm her eyes as she kissed me again.
I broke away and asked about the others, she said the Elle was starting to get sick and they didn't know what to do.
"I found others," I said, as I motioned for them. As the stumbled closer, Amber and I went to check on Elle. I gently shook her awake, she smiled and I could see a glitter of hope in her eyes. Then she started to cough, it sounded horrible. "It started last night," she muttered before grimacing in pain. I dug through my bag and found my bottle of colloidal silver, and I made her take a dose before laying back down. I walked over to where Stephanie was sleeping and kissed her forehead; when started to stretch I said, "You're missing out on all the fun." She sprang to life as she jumped up and hugged my neck.
The girls helped everyone in the new group settle down for night. I stayed beside Elle all night, hoping that things would turn around soon. The next day was full of mundane walking, and the girls chatting. I gave most of my gear to the others and carried Elle for most of the day. By nightfall, we were close to parting ways with the other group. Elle's condition was beginning to improve, and spirits were high in the group.

For our List of Five feature, we ask musicians to tell us stories about five songs. Iggy from Rusty Machines does the honours for this post.
Rusty Machines is a Filipino indie band whose joie de vivre adds an infectious verve to their garage rock sound. Find out more here:
Rusty Machines "Forget You"
It was around night time at Josh's rest house in Nasugbu, Batangas. We were talking and drinking then suddenly Josh took out the guitar and just started playing this looping riff. He started mumbling lyrics and eventually opened up to Miko (our drummer) and I that he was able to write a song with his friends from high school. Out of excitement, Miko and I shouted "BUOTIN NATIN YAN" (We should finish writing that song!) so the next day on a very fine afternoon near the shores of Nasugbu, we started writing the lyrics, arranged the song when we got back to manila, and jammed it until it became what is arguably our "best known single" up to now. The process was very fun experience because all of us collaborated in terms of writing the arrangements and lyrics. Plus, we never expected it would eventually be a hit!
Rusty Machines "What Went Wrong"
I think we don't have enough material to say that we've completely departured from the sound/music style that's evident in the City Lights EP. But if we talk about the recording itself then "What Went Wrong" may be considered as some sort of a "departure" from our usual sound. If you've listened to "What Went Wrong" on Spotify then you'll notice that it's "heavier" and yet cleaner since my voice isn't drenched in too much filter and reverb. We incorporated cleaner guitars as well but there's still that "dirty rusty" sound when it transitions to the bridge up until the final minutes of the song. I'm very happy with the song especially because of how we arranged it (Nick Lazaro of La Balls Studio also helped us clean it up as well!) and the song really means a lot to me since I wrote it during a very turbulent time in my life.
Rusty Machines "The Morning"
"THE MORNING" HAHAHA! Josh, Miko, and I (we're still convincing Leandro) are avid fans of Last Dinosaurs to the point that we watched their Black Market gig together! This was the time when we were still recording our City Lights EP. It's weird since the songs that we really jam to are Weekend and Honolulu but then when we were writing The Morning, that TENENEN-TENENEN-TENENEN riff from Sunday Night got stuck in our heads so what better way to pay homage to our favorite band than to more or less "copy" the riff and incorporate it in our song. (Huhuhuhu we're sorry but we love Last Dinosaurs and please do know we do not support any form of plagiarism!!)
Question: Is there a song that you hate-listen to? Why?
HAHAHAHA THIS IS A TRAP QUESTION BUT I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S FUN. I JUST HOPE I DON'T GET ANY ISSUES FROM THIS SO DISCLAIMER: I would like to apologize in advance to anyone who'll get offended by what I will be saying! I do admit I am quite a snob when it comes to my music taste huhu and that's me being close-minded and negative so I'm really sorry! Musical taste is pretty much subjective in the first place.
But to answer your question, yes I do hate-listen! When I do, I listen to the newly released EP of Basically Saturday Night. The band's musicality is VERY GOOD and congratulations to them winning Wanderband 2018, plus the vocalist has major pipes but his vocal melodies are so repetitive it's like you're listening to a 25 minute song. Again, this is just my opinion since I'm really not into that kind of funky/R&B sound.
Toro Y Moi "You and I"
I first heard the song last year as soon as the music video came out. I was completely blown away by it. The song is so simple in structure and yet if you listen closely to the lyrics, it's Chaz talking about love that has been broken by changes caused by uncontrollable forces. It's heartbreaking. Yeah, I wish I wrote that song. It's so pure and tender. You need to read the lyrics I swear.

Small Street - Game Guardian
Major_Beauner posted a topic in Archived topicsName of Game: Small Street Game Version if known: Not sure Name of Cheat: Unlimited $$$$ and Glu credits Steps: I know that there is already a hack for this game, however, the other hack is using a Hex editor, and as I am not familiar with those, and for those who are not familiar with Hex editors, I have put up this for Game Guardian. The steps are just the generic Game Guardian hacks. Find the value of your money - then enter value into Game Guardian (GG), spend a small amount, then hit Fuzzy and Smaller, then keep repeating until you find the value for money. Rename, save, and move onto Glu credits. Same process applies to Glu credits - then once you have both, save them for this game, change the values and then save and then load and BOOM. Game is hacked. This was a game my wife plays - to be honest, I cant get into it - too much micro management, but hey - its a game, and it can be hacked! Mwuuuwaaahaaahaaa!!! I hacked $99 million dollars and 999999 glu credits!

Homer Info
Imagine a little town nestled on the shore of a glistening bay; glaciers and mountains rimming the shoreline and active volcanoes looming in the distance…
This is our town!
This is Homer, Alaska, on stunning Kachemak Bay. Made famous as "The End of the Road" in Tom Bodett's tales, Homer is at the end of the Sterling Highway, 250 miles south of Anchorage, surrounded by wilderness and ocean. A home base for great fishing ("The Halibut Fishing Capital of the World"), kayaking, bear viewing, hiking, food, and art; Homer is quickly becoming known also as the Eco and Adventure tourism capital of Alaska.
(taken from the Homer Chamber of Commerce)
Home port to the F/V Time Bandit of the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" fame, Homer's museums, art galleries, fine dining and seaside accommodations, all help create Alaska-sized memories to last a lifetime.
The Homer Spit ("spit" is a geological landform) features the longest road into ocean waters in the world and was recently named one of the best 100 beaches in the United States for its incredible views and variety of wildlife along the wonderful 4.5 mile multi-use trail that runs from its base to its tip – the true end of the road on Alaska's Highway.
And just across the Bay, less than 10 miles from the Spit, is the state's only designated wilderness park – Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park. Local water taxis specialize in bringing outdoor lovers to the trailheads and campgrounds of the park. This unique combination of location, commerce, beauty, natural resources and wilderness makes Homer a wonderful place to visit, and a great place to live!

New School and USC filmmaker, Alexandra Dennis-Renner, shares her thoughts on the band's new album, Electric Hymnal, on her blog this morning. Below is an excerpt:
"A big thank you to Michaelouis Serafin-Wells and Jason Van Sutherland of Bipolar Explorer for another beautiful record.
The world seems to be a fairly sad place as of late. Plenty has happened that makes me rescind a little faith in my fellow man; plenty has happened to bathe the global climate with an air of fatigue and apathy...cutting us all off from one another and making us numb to anything from the outside wanting in. I put on this record expecting it to wash over me, cleanse some of the sadness, ease some of the pain. Instead, it got deep, deep inside and all of that pain, that angst, the exhaustion with the human race and all of its difficulties echoed in every song. But that's not awful. What resonates in this record is the grief of loss, the impatience of waiting for "it" (whatever "it" may be) to get better. And what the music represents is not what struggle has been heaped upon our shoulders and burdens us; not an auxiliary thing that's been added, but what's been taken away and how will we ever know if that missing stitch that seems to be unraveling the whole planet will be mended or if that missing piece of us will ever be found. The pain is in not knowing, but the consolation is in hoping so. If you're mourning the loss of someone you love or the loss of peace and human decency or the dwindling hope and faith in your neighbors, put on a sad record and know that there is someone else out there trudging through the fog with you. @bipolarexplorer #electrichymnal"

3rd. November 2014
Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you to those of you who came to support your children at Arbo Activators. Weren't we lucky with the weather!
Non uniform day on October 24th. raised a grand total of £188.87 for the Pakistani Flood Relief. A special thank you to Jawad in nursery who donated £20 through selling sweet cones.
We are a no smoking site like all schools in the UK. Therefore there is to be no smoking on the school site. Please extinguish and dispose of cigarettes (with consideration to the environment), before coming through the school gates.
There are some parents who are blocking the school entrance, parking near the entrance or turning round in the school entrance. I am really worried that there will be an accident and one of your children will be hurt. Any cars parking near the entrance or turning in the entrance obscure the view of other motorists and of your children, making the area unsafe for them. All cars parking on double yellow lines and therefore endangering children's safety, will be reported.
Could parents for classes 6, 7 and 8 please remain at the green fence with any children until called by the teacher, rather than going up to the doors which blocks the exit for the children and means it takes much longer for them to be dismissed. When parents crowd round the doors it is too dangerous to release children as staff can't see if they are getting to their parents.
Photographs this week will be taken in the new hall (Hall 2) on November 5th and 7th. We are inviting family groups to arrive at 8:15am on both days. No families will be admitted after 8.30 am.
Thank you for supporting the school with the younger children staying school dinners. Thank you to parents of older children for trying to send in healthy lunchboxes.
Please make sure that your child has a warm waterproof coat to wear every day as children will be going outside for fresh air throughout the winter.
After school on Friday lost property will be on display in the glazed corridor near class 11.
Just a reminder about PE kit that children need at school every day.
For INDOOR P.E. LESSONS: White T-shirt and black shorts. Girls who, for religious reasons, need to cover their legs and arms should wear long sleeved white T-shirts and black leggings (not tracksuits).
For OUTDOOR P.E.LESSONS, the same as indoor kit but including a tracksuit/jogging suit for cold weather, a pair of trainers or black P.E. pumps. Earrings/studs should not be worn on PE days. Long hair should be tied back.
I look forward to seeing you at parents' evenings this week.
Yours sincerely,
A. Cruickshank, Head Teacher

Meals are cooked in the school kitchen and eaten in the school hall. There is a choice of meals to suit all diets, including Halal meat and vegetarian options. The cost of a school meal is £1.80 per day or £9.00 per week. Children must pay for meals at the start of the week. If you feel your child is entitled to a free school meal please ask at the school office.
Packed lunches should be brought in by the children at 8.45 am. Sweets should not be brought into school unless they are to be handed to the teacher to be shared for a special occasion. All children are provided with free fruit.

New York City has it all when it comes to food. If you're looking to try out the latest trends in food (and are willing to stand in a line of some sort because, real talk, you will probably have to), you will definitely be able to find it here.
But, as with anything in life, some spots are indubitably better than others. Here at Mikkeller, we are partial to partnering with those places of only the highest caliber. As they say, good taste recognizes good taste!
Here's a list of a few of our favorite eateries in NYC where you can go to not only enjoy an insanely good meal, but a stellar Mikkeller brew to boot.
Italienne kills it with their Italian-French masterpiece dishes
Instagram @italiennenyc
Italienne was one of the most anticipated restaurants to open in the fall of 2016, and since then its popularity hasn't dipped even an inch. Michelin-starred head chef, Jared Sippel, manages to marry French and Italian cuisine in a way that seriously can't be beat. Head on over to their location in the Flatiron if you're in the mood for feeling fancy (apparently they have one of the best 5-course tasting menus in the city) + you want to try the bread that many Yelp reviews say is something else.
Momofuku Noodle Bar is a verified contender for ramen GOAT, NYC ed.
Instagram @momolongplay
Ramen has officially taken over the world, and here at Mikkeller we are 100% here for it. The ramen at Momofuku Noodle Bar is on a whole other level of salty, noodle-y perfection, and we are delighted that our beer has a spot on the menu at an establishment doing God's work. If, on the other hand, noodles aren't really your thing (if this is the case though, who are you even?), Momofuku Noodle Bar always has a great spread of main dishes that is constantly changing, as well as a selection of staples like steamed buns and chicken wings that you really can't go wrong with.
Agern brings top notch Scandinavian fare to NYC
Instagram @agernrestaurant
Being a Danish brewery ourselves, we couldn't leave off our list the understated yet oh-so-good Scandinavian eatery, Agern. Tucked into a nondescript corner of Grand Central Station, this place, much like Scandinavian culture and style overall, says a lot within the confines of innovative simplicity. Agern takes a great interest in the sustainability of their dishes and the ingredients they use, often incorporating generally discarded food stuffs into centerpieces of original menu offerings (pork neck with bean salad anyone?). While there, grab a Mikkeller brew to complete the experience and be the most hygge you can get this side of the Atlantic.
Babu Ji beats their own path when it comes to Indian food
Instagram @babujinyc
Head chef at Babu Ji, Jessi Singh, is an innovative and self-taught culinary jedi, who takes traditional Indian fare to a higher level. The Unauthentic Butter Chicken has garnered rave reviews, and if you're looking for something sweet, the house-made ice cream, Kulfi, has been named a must-try by GrubStreet. As for the restaurant itself, Bollywood movies play silently from a projector on a white brick wall in one of the upper dining rooms, and photos of Indian men and woman artfully cover the walls. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Manhattan and have a hankering for some killer Indian food-- all while accompanied by some top notch Mikkeller offerings.
Little Prince brings you your next favorite meal, the french onion soup burger
Instagram @littleprince
Although this list already boasts a French option, we had to include Little Prince in SoHo on this list. We came across the mention of their French onion soup burger multiple times on best-of lists-- we even found an entire blog post devoted to singing its praises. With such a following, it was a given that Little Prince would make the list, if anything just so that we could direct Mikeller lovers to try out this cult-favorite. If burgers just really aren't your thing, there are many other amazing French bistro staples to choose from that will happily have you humming an American in Paris.

We examine, from the point of view of shareholders' value, different strategies adopted by integrated steel firms in response to severe industry decline. We calculate the annual return generated from investing in integrated steel firms during the decline, assuming that all dividends paid out by a firm as well as any residual value left if the firm exited were invested in the S&P 500, and compare those cumulative annual growth rates to growth of an investment in the S&P over the same period. We find that firms that maintained or increased their investment in steel mostly generated lower returns, although conglomerate mergers in some cases cushioned the loss to shareholders. On average, corporations able to exit from steel entirely did best, particularly if they sold out earlier or if the steel assets were not the core business of the corporation.

ICBC's Tips For Keeping Kids Safe
As the end of the school year approaches, ICBC is reminding drivers and parents about the importance of keeping kids safe during the last week of school and throughout the summer months.
Kids will be excited and may not be thinking about their personal safety so drivers need to be extra cautious in looking for child pedestrians during the summer. Parents should take the opportunity to remind their children about staying safe on the roads.
In 2009, according to ICBC, there were approximately 55 pedestrians, age 5 to 12, injured in 55 incidents in B.C. This means that most incidents result in a child being injured.
Tips for drivers:
No. 1 – It's all mixed up: During the last few days of school, kids may be arriving or leaving school at varying times throughout the day. Remember that when school is in session, a 30-km/h school zone speed limit is in effect between 8 am and 5 pm. During the summer months, school zone speed limits change unless summer school is in session.
No. 2 – In the zone: The last week of school is an exciting time for school-aged children, which means that they might be preoccupied and forget the rules of the road. Use extra caution when driving through and around school zones.
No. 3 – Kids all around: Drivers aren't used to seeing crowded playgrounds and parks during the day but this all changes as we welcome in summer. Remember that playground speed limits remain in effect year-round. When driving around playgrounds and parks, observe carefully – small children are less predictable and harder to see than adults.
No. 4 – Watch for clues: In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean that kids are playing nearby. Remember that a child could dash into the street at any moment. Pay attention and always anticipate the unexpected.
No. 5 – Back it up: Always watch for children as you're backing up. Before you get into your vehicle, make it a habit to walk around your vehicle to make sure no small kids are behind it. Although they may see you, they most likely don't realize that you don't see them.
Tips for parents:
No. 1 – Focus on the basics: With all of summer's outdoor activities, it's important that parents remind their children about road safety. Give them a refresher on the safety basics that you learned as a child, which are still relevant today. Here are some key points…
- Make eye contact: Children must assume that drivers have not seen them whenever they are around roads. Even if the walk signal is on, teach your child to make eye contact with drivers before they cross.
- Walk, don't run: Make it clear to your kids that it's never safe to run when crossing a road.
- Stop, look, listen: Before crossing the street, always stop at the curb and make sure all vehicles have stopped. Look left and right for oncoming vehicles. Then lookagain over your shoulders for vehicles that might be turning. Listen for approaching traffic that you can't yet see. Teach your kids to keep looking for approaching vehicles as they cross.
No. 2 – Be a role model: Parents are the number one role models for children so make sure you set a perfect example for them. If you are not modelling the behaviour you want your kids to emulate, then don't expect them to be safe around roads. If your child sees you jaywalking, they will think it is okay to do and will do the same thing.
No. 3 – Mark out safe areas: Focus on teaching your kids where to position themselves when they are around roads. Children should always walk on the inside edge of a sidewalk so that they're less exposed to traffic. If walking on the sidewalk isn't an option, teach your kids to always walk facing oncoming traffic so they can see approaching vehicles and make eye contact with drivers.
No. 4 – Don't jaywalk. The most common road safety error made by kids is not finding a safe place to cross. Teach your child to cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or a marked crosswalk whenever possible.
No. 5 – No shortcuts: When walking with your child, avoid unnecessary shortcuts like walking through a parking lot. Be aware of parked vehicles in a parking lot or on the road. A driver may not see kids between parked cars and kids may not see the cars moving.

It's cold, it's dark, it's miserable: winter has a way of making you take another look at the slightly slovenly, but suddenly adorable guy next door, and before you know it you're spooning on the couch in front of a Netflix marathon.
Lacking the chemistry and charisma (not to mention height, weight and eye colour) you usually require, the stranger in your bed was a convenient solution to the lonely winter nights. But now what? Cosy, familiar and house-broken, he may be, you don't want him around by the time you're booking your summer holidays. So, taking the new year as a good excuse to start afresh, I've decided to share my six steps to breaking up with your seasonal sweetheart, in favour of someone[s] new.
By now I imagine he's probably quite attached – you are after all, a glamorous, ambitious type with quick wit and great style – so you'll need to find a neutral location to pull the trigger. At home is a big no-no: there's no polite way to ask someone to leave your home, and without anyone to witness it, he may be inclined to blubber. Remember: winter plays havoc with men's emotions.
1. The first rule of breakups? Make it public. In full view of everyone else your man is less likely to cause a scene.
2. The second rule? Plan your escape strategy ahead of time.
Try a bar, but definitely not a restaurant. You don't want to be sat there, staring at the menu, wondering when best to tell him you won't be sticking around to share the creme brûlée.
3. Dress: to impress, of course. Avoid cosy sweaters or wearing anything soft in which he might want to snuggle. Instead, try something skintight in a synthetic material – PVC is a good place to start. While you are trying to make things easier for him, you do want to impress upon him exactly what he's missing (and that should be your best self, not your Friday-night-in-with-pizza-and-sweatpants-self.)
– which leads me on to my next rule:
4. ALWAYS break up on a Friday. No matter how tiresome he may have become, you MUST wait for Friday. You both need time to recover from the emotional trauma of the breakup – he needs to reflect on his shortcomings, and you need to party.
5. Carry cash. You need to facilitate a quick exit, so there's no time for checking the bill or waiting for the card machine. Drop enough to cover the cheque and get out. Don't let him say you never paid for anything 😉
6. Now the real work begins: I don't need to tell you bikini season is right around the corner, so I recommend you put down the leftover mince pie and rethink that Netflix subscription!

Dismiss Pickton lawsuit against Crown prosecutors, says B.C. Pickton victims' families allege Crown failed to warn women
CBC Report Jul 5, 2013
Serial killer Robert Pickton was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder, but is suspected of killing dozen of women who went missing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. (Vancouver Police Department)
The B.C. government says it can't be sued over the Crown prosecutor's decision to stay attempted murder charges against Robert Pickton in 1998 — four years before the remains of dozens of women were found on the serial killer's farm.
The families of four women whose remains or DNA were found on Pickton's property filed a lawsuit in May targeting the provincial and federal governments, the City of Vancouver, Pickton's siblings and Pickton himself.
The provincial government has filed an application in B.C.Supreme Court asking that the allegations targeting B.C.'s criminal justice branch be removed from the statements of claim.
The lawsuits allege, among other things, that prosecutors were negligent when they decided not to put Pickton on trial for attempted murder in early 1998. The lawsuits also claim the Crown should have warned sex workers in Vancouver about Pickton in light of the attempted murder charge.
But the B.C. government's notices of application say Crown lawyers are immune from most claims of negligence, unless there is clear evidence of "deliberate and malicious" conduct.
"The notice of civil claim in this case includes no pleading of malice on the part of the Crown counsel involved," says one of four notices filed with the court last week.
"This is clearly not a claim of malicious prosecution. It is therefore plain and obvious that it has no reasonable chance of success."
The notices also argue Crown prosecutors don't have a duty to warn the public.
Attempted murder charges stayed
In March 1997, Pickton and a sex worker became entangled in a violent confrontation at his property in Port Coquitlam, B.C., leaving the woman with injuries so severe she died on the operating table before she was revived.
The sex worker, whose name remains covered by a publication ban, had a set of handcuffs locked on one of her wrists — the key to which was later found in Pickton's pocket.
Days before Pickton was set to stand trial, a Crown prosecutor decided not to go ahead. Crown counsel Randi Connor told a public inquiry last year that she believed the sex worker's drug use meant she wasn't in a condition to testify.
Between January 1998, when the charges against Pickton were stayed, and his arrest in February 2002, 19 women disappeared and were later connected to Pickton's farm.
Also after Pickton's arrest in 2002, forensic investigators found the DNA of three missing women on evidence they seized from the 1997 attack, including clothing and a condom package.
Families allege police botch up
The lawsuits involve the daughters and sons of Dianne Rock, Sarah de Vries, Cynthia Feliks and Yvonne Boen.
The statements of claim allege the Vancouver police and the RCMP botched their respective investigations into missing sex workers from the Downtown Eastside and failed to warn women in the neighbourhood that a serial killer was likely at work.
Boen's and Feliks' children also allege they were harmed by the insensitive manner in which they were informed of their mothers' deaths.
Pickton was eventually convicted of six counts of second-degree murder.
When Pickton lost his appeals for those convictions, charges related to the murders of 20 other women, including Rock, de Vries and Feliks, were stayed by the Crown. Boen is among six women whose remains or DNA were found on the Pickton property, but for which no charges were ever laid.
The statements of claim contain allegations that haven't been tested in court.
None of the defendants have filed statements of defence, and the province's recent notice of application makes no mention of any of the other allegations in the families' lawsuits. Source

I was in a position to do two houses, so long as they have been on the identical road, and averaged $forty per hour. Not unhealthy for a 17 12 months previous child.

TEC's Most Versatile Grill.
The G-Sport has many personalities. Without the base it's an awesome portable with about 50% more grilling surface than the Cherokee. With the base it's a full size backyard infrared grill. The G-Sport on low heat will cook at 200 degrees, lower than any other inrared grill. Like any other TEC you will get a precision American product that will last for years to come. Like all TEC grills you will get that super moist, charbroil taste that produces the most flavorful grilling experience. The G-Sport is fueled with your standard 20lbs cannister (regulator included).
All TEC products are environmentally friendly, and they always have been.

TEC's Most Advanced Grill.
TEC's most popular grill is back with a vengence. The new Patio FR and Sterling Patio FR can cook at temperatures as low as 200 degrees (lower than any other TEC Grill) but can also cook at the famously searing temperatures for which TEC is known. The Patio burners are also considerably larger than the burners in older models.
The Patio and Sterling Patio are both available as Built-in grills or on Pedestal Base and in one and two burner models. Because of the oversized burner, the Patio and Sterling Patio 2-Burner grills are the largest TEC grills available. You can expect the Patio and Sterling Patio to last years to come; many users of the original Patio still use their grills manufactured in the 70's.
The Sterling Patio is a deluxe version of the Patio with a handcrafted curved hood.

TEC To Go.
This compact portable gas grill makes TEC's super moist, charbroil taste more affordable than ever! Imagine that coveted taste of charcoal grilling but with the convenience of gas. The Cherokee offers 100% infra-red cooking in a compact package. A Cherokee lets you enjoy the mouth-watering, flavorful taste of infra-red cooking from a condo patio to anywhere in the great outdoors. It provides one-half the grilling surface of a full size two burner models in a small, less expensive cabinet that is light enough to carry with you anywhere you go. For use anywhere, it is fueled with a 1 lbs disposable LP cylinder, making it ideal for home and patio use including attached living areas where large gas tanks and charcoal are prohibited. An optional 20lbs regulator is also available. Like all TEC grills, the Cherokee is made in America.

What is our
return policy?
Answer: See the bottom of the G-Sport, Patio/Sterling Patio, Cherokee, and Parts Page for specific details.
FAQ: Should I do anything special when I receive my grill?
Answer: Grills are typically shipped by a freight company and arrive on a wooden pallet. The shipping company that delivers your grill may have trouble delivering your grill if you live on a street that is not paved, narrow, or extremely steep. Also be aware that the freight company will call you before they attempt to deliver your grill. If there is significant damage to any of your boxes (which is rare), refuse the damaged box(es) and take a picture of the damaged box(es) so that you can e-mail them to us; also contact us as soon as possible so that we can ship a replacement. If there is any hint of damage, make sure to mark the shipment 'Damaged' when you sign for the package.
ALSO, remember to open boxes that contain grills and pedestals and check them thoroughly for damage. In particular, it is important to reject shipments with hood, cabinet, or pedestal damage.
FAQ: What is the difference between a disposable LP cylinder and a 20 lbs cylinder?
Answer: A disposable LP cylinder is a 1 pound cylinder (approximately) of fuel that is useful when you use your Cherokee as a portable grill. (The Cherokee comes with a regulator for this type of cylinder.) These cylinders are not refillable and may be purchased at most discount and sporting goods stores. A 20 lbs cylinder is a standard cylinder used by full sized grills. (The Cherokee does not come with a regulator for this cylinder, but they may be purchased for the Cherokee.) The 20 lbs cylinder is more convenient and less expensive to use when you use your Cherokee as a permanent 'backyard-style' grill.
FAQ: I want to replace my TEC Patio. What is the best grill to replace the TEC Patio?
Answer: No question about it. The closest grill to the TEC Patio is the G-Sport, in every way except one. The G-Sport is BETTER because it can turn down to 200 degrees. Lower than any other infrared grill, TEC or otherwise.
FAQ: What is the difference between TEC infrared grills and all other infrared grills?
Answer: Quite a lot! TEC infrared grills are the only 100% infrared grills made in America, and that's important. Other infrared grills use TEC's old technology which is only 50% infrared. Most other infrared grills are also made overseas and are not the quality made cooking machine that is a TEC. TEC uses the highest quality stainless steel and are made to last. AND TEC prices are mid-range for infrared grills, so you're getting the best grill for a great price. Did you know that the engineer/owner of TEC is the man who invented the use of infrared technology for cooking? TEC is considered throughout the industry and by the other manufacturers as well as the best infrared grill available.
FAQ: Can I use a pot, pan or pizza stone on my TEC grill?
Answer: Absolutely! But make sure that you don't cover more than 75% of the grilling surface with a pot, pan, stone, or anything dense; you can fill-up 100% of your grilling surface with food. Also don't put a pot, pan, stone, or anything directly on the glass emittor panel.
It's all about the Burner.
TEC grills use one of four different 100% infrared burners. The larger residential grills and all commercial grills use the first two styles of burner. These two styles are very much the same except their size (the commercial burners are larger.) The Cherokee burner is manufactured a little differently but for the most part is just a slight improvement over the first two. The G-Sport grill has by far the most impressive infrared burner because it turns down as low as 200 degrees. All burners are extremely energy efficient.
Note: The only TEC grill that can use the 1 pound cylinder is the Cherokee.
We ship TEC products worldwide. Customers outside the US & Canada, e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) a request for shipping/customs fees.

Like most educators, Johann has logged in to her fair share of webinars. These seminars, conducted through the internet, have some distinct advantages over the traditional, face-to-face group meetings. But they're "different," so Johanna has used this month's Tech Effect column to talk about how you, as a webinar instructor or presenter, can make them work well.

THE TECH EFFECT: A New Kind of Book Club
Teachers are entrusted to provide a broad and lasting education to their students. That means, in part, exposing them to both many forms and many
of literature. If we can help them to see the connections between those formats, then all the better. When we can lead them to see, understand, and thoughtfully combine print and nonprint formats as tools for their own expression of ideas and mastery, then we have begun to arm them with the tools necessary for lifelong learning. The faculty and staff of Chets Creek Elementary School in Jacksonville, Fla., have managed to do just that, as Johanna Riddle demonstrates in this month's Tech Effect column.

THE TECH EFFECT: 21 Things--Kinder, Gentler Tips for Effective Technology Infusion
Most of today's teachers are comfortable with the notion of technology inclusion. On nearly every campus today, you will see students using online or software programs to supplement and extend learning. Infusion is another paradigm altogether, one that emphasizes technology as an essential partner—and many times, as the creative element—in traditional learning. Technology applications become one of many parts that contribute to the everyday education of students. Learning remains curriculum-based, but those tech apps—research, digital storytelling, websites—are now embedded into the disciplines.

THE TECH EFFECT: Podcasting in the Classroom--A Sound Success
Podcasting, a morph of the words "iPod" and "broadcast," was first coined by U.K. journalist Ben Hammersley. (In fact, it was declared to be 2005's Word of the Year by The New Oxford American Dictionary, edging out both "Sudoku" and "trans fat" for the philological nod.) The digital medium quickly found its way into the classroom, and why not? After all, it's free, easy, and accessible, and it has the ability to power up education for students from kindergarten to college.

THE TECH EFFECT: Samsula Academy: Old School, New Tricks
Samsula School has been a successful institution since its inception in 1912, in no small part due to the commitment and involvement of the Samsula, Fla., community. But the school community had to think on its feet in February 2008 when the public school district announced its intention to close the doors of the small, rural campus, along with those of several other rural and minority schools across the county. Johanna Riddle recounts how that thinking led to action … and the hammering out of an alliance with a successful charter school that kept Samsula's doors open.

THE TECH EFFECT: These Lessons Pop!
A 9-year-old girl is poised on the surface of the moon, a spaceship and stars in the background. Her fellow voyager, in the form of an orange, cylindrically shaped robot, responds to her conversation with an unintelligible mechanized beep. These two space pioneers are engaged in a lively discourse about the nature and origin of constellations. Is it a Nickelodeon special? The latest remix of Lost in Space? A juvenile version of 2001: A Space Odyssey? Nope. Just business as usual as an elementary school class Johanna Riddle reports on produces another Pawprint Production educational video.

THE TECH EFFECT: The Collaborator
Collaboration is certainly the way that today's learners prefer to work. Technology-savvy students are creating a demand for learning and communicating collaboratively at school, just as they do at home. This trend is not only creating a new kind of learner but a new kind of educator as well—one who specializes in developing and sustaining a nexus for cooperative learning and who has the skills, knowledge, and contacts to connect students with resources. Enter Roxana Hadad—"The Collaborator."
