Heather had a great post recently about people she'd like to--but probably won't ever--meet. I thought this was a good idea, and it got me thinking about who I'd like to meet sometime in my life.
Joss Whedon: This man does everything I want to do with character, voice, and plot. Seriously. Watch Firefly and it's movie, Serenity. It has it all: unique characters (rather a lot of them, too!) all with unique voices all doing unique things to create a wonderfully unique plot. *sigh* I have such a literary crush on Joss Whedon.
Cory Doctrow: Really, I just think his whole concept of giving away books is amazing. I'd love to really have a talk with him about it.
Diana Wynne Jones and/or Patricia Wrede: These ladies have the kind of career that I want. Consistently good, creative books that have a dedicated following. They might not be household names like the next lady on my list, but they're amazing to me, and have just the kind of career that I aspire towards.
JK Rowling: OK, seriously? I just want to look at her in her castle rolling around on her millions like Scrooge McDuck and sigh in wonder for a moment. Also: I'd like to go back in time and meet her during that time between when she wrote the first book to when she got accepted for publication.
The Writers of Doctor Who: Doctor Who is amazing. Particularly David Tennant. Particularly David Tennant in a kilt. But I'd love to sit in on a writing session for the show. I wonder how much they have planned in advance, and how much is just episode to episode writing. I wonder how jokes/scenes/series are developed. I'd just love to see their writing process in action. (PS: Fans of Doctor Who and/or Shakespeare and/or Neil Gaiman: Read this now.)
So, who would you like to meet?
(As for me, between Joss Whedon and David Tennant in a kilt, I need a cold shower.)

When the story of digital media is analyzed by scholars in the coming decades, I expect they will locate the current mobile migration as a critical moment in communication history. This is when the final shreds of 20th-century mass media were shed. This is when media consumption was, at last, completely detached from predictable settings and circumstances. Personalized, on-demand, fully untethered devices radically disrupt a media and advertising ecology that, during a century, had targeted its wares at morning newspaper readers, radio-prime-time and drive-time listeners, TV-prime-time viewers, and web office/home hours, etc. Sometime in the early 21st century, historians will recount that context became a fluid, highly fragmented concept.

From the experience of publishing her first book with the Penguin Group Australia, Boling had firsthand knowledge of the disruption underway in traditional publishing. "I knew, with this book, that I wanted to start from a spot ahead of the curve from a technical standpoint," Boling says. Historical fiction, she believes, is a perfect genre for allowing readers to enrich their reading experience by referring to maps, character biographies, photos, and drawings. But Boling was adamant about not allowing those enhancements to interrupt the flow of the story. "I thought a lot about how I could use technology developments to provide a great reader experience, something that would provide seamless integration between the story and the technology," she says.

A few years back, when the economy bottomed out and sent the publishing industry into a nosedive, a colleague of mine told me that ebooks would save publishing. At the time, I thought she was crazy. Kindles were just beginning to gain popularity, and most of us were still hanging on to the idea that print publishing could survive-maybe even thrive-in the years to come. But a recent story from NPR has me doubting the possibility that reading, even digitally, will continue to flourish in the years to come.

Last Saturday evening (Aug. 27, 2011), the seeming entirety of Orlando's arts community – or at least those not busy performing across town – attended the 7th Annual Red Chair Affair at the Bob Carr. The event, ostensibly a revenue raiser for the Red Chair Project's cultural marketing efforts, has become a de facto season preview for area theater and dance companies' fall schedules.
I spent several years as the stage manager of the Red Chair Affair, but this was my first experience as a "civilian" in the audience. Arriving shortly into the pre-show hour, I caught a glimpse of Crealde School artists demonstrating in the lobby, then spent 20 minutes waiting at the busy bar. (I've never seen that much imbibing at the Bob Carr, even during the dullest Broadway tour.) The auditorium was equally crowded; from where I sat in the rear orchestra, more than 80 percent of the seats appeared to be filled.
The most impressive improvement to this year's mainstage entertainment was the addition of pre-recorded video vignettes between various performance, replacing live hosts introducing each groups. The segments (slickly produced by Henry Maldonado) featured insightful soundbites from many local arts leaders, and more importantly kept the event's momentum moving between acts. Shame that the theater gods weren't as generous with the lighting; I had trouble seeing anyone standing downstage of the curtain.
This year's Red Chair Affair main show spotlighted 15 of the area's performing arts groups, each presenting a five-minute sample of their work. Highlights of the evening included:
But for me, the most unforgettable performance of the evening came from the group of drunken homophobic racists sitting directly behind me in the fourth-to-last row, who provided offensive off-color commentary throughout the entire presentation. Thanks guys, for proving that in Orlando culture truly is for everyone.

Press release
Consumers put off by high delivery courier charges
Jo Swinson hosts summit with industry, consumer groups and couriers to look at how to make delivery charges clearer when buying goods online.
Consumer Minister Jo Swinson is hosting a summit with industry, consumer groups and couriers today (26 November 2013), which will look at how to make delivery charges clearer for people buying goods online.
This comes as research from the independent consumer group, Consumer Futures, shows that consumers living in remote areas of the UK are abandoning their online purchases because of unexpectedly high delivery charges.
Earlier this month, the industry association for global e-retailing, Interactive Media Retail Group (IMRG), which represents the UK online retail industry, forecast that the cost to business as a result of consumers abandoning their online purchases will be £6 billion in lost revenue in 2013 alone.
Other findings from the Consumer Futures report include:
- customers in remote and island areas face extra delivery costs or discover that companies will not deliver to them
- 46% of online shoppers in remote areas have been promised free delivery only for it to be removed when the online retailer finds out the delivery location - this stands at 32% of shoppers on islands
- a further 62% of those on islands have also abandoned their online purchase before completing it, while 46% said they no longer shop with that retailer
Many businesses provide an excellent service, with consistent delivery available right across the UK and are responsive to consumer needs such as offering an alternative courier firm to get the best deal for the customer. The summit will aim to come up with ideas as to how best to address concerns.
Consumer Minister Jo Swinson said:
This research shows that people living in certain parts of the UK aren't always getting a good deal. For them, internet shopping is a real lifeline to get the goods they want to buy. When they are facing excessive delivery charges, or worse, companies are refusing to deliver in the first place, they are unfairly losing out.
Businesses are also losing out. This research shows the amount of lost revenue and the fact that they are stunting their own growth potential. Today's summit will help to address the issue. I am pleased that businesses are willing to look at what positive steps they can take to help consumers buying online.
Director of Consumer Futures Adam Scorer said:
Our research shows that online shoppers are being put off by hidden or excessive delivery charges or just refusal to deliver to them. Consumers should be entitled to clear information about delivery options and charges early on in the online shopping process.
As things stand, consumers are losing out on the value and convenience of online shopping and for businesses this means a clear disadvantage in expanding the reach of their products and services.
This summit reflects recognition from government that consumers face difficulties and detriment in online shopping parcel delivery. E-retailers and parcel delivery companies should offer cost-effective delivery services right across the UK. We would be pleased to work with them to identify solutions to the challenges they face – to make this process work for both consumers and businesses.
Notes to editors:
A statement will be issued after the conclusion of the summit on 26 November 2013.
The Consumer Futures report can be found at 'Research into parcel delivery issues in remote locations'
For the purposes of this report rural/remote settlements were classified by Consumer Futures as those with a population of less than 10,000 in England and Wales and less than 4,500 in Northern Ireland. Remote areas were classified as 'hamlet or isolated dwelling' in England and Wales and 'small village, hamlet and open countryside' in Northern Ireland.
The industry association for global e-retailing, Interactive Media Retail Group (IMRG), estimates that the annual loss of revenue to UK e-retailers due to checkout abandonment will reach £6 billion in 2013 (IMRG eCustomerServiceIndex 2013). See the press release for more information.
IMRG also calculates that the overall cost to the UK e-retail sector of failed first time, on time, delivery is £851 million per annum (IMRG UK Valuing Home Delivery Review 2012).
The value of online retail spend by consumers in the run up to Christmas this year is forecast to reach £20.4 billion (IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index – November 2013).
Online is a UK success story and retailers are doing well at exporting as well as a high take up of online sales nationally. They often go significantly beyond minimum legal requirements in areas like competitive delivery prices; free collection of returns; cancellation periods typically of 28 days as opposed to the 7 days legal period and no additional charging when redelivering goods due to the customer being unavailable.
Surcharges based on location are only applied to delivery services provided outside of the universal postal service - the 1 price goes anywhere service, which is provided for under the Postal Services Act 2011.
Royal Mail, as the UK's provider of the universal postal service, offers a standard parcels service charged at a uniform rate across the United Kingdom as part of the universal service.
The government's economic policy objective is to achieve 'strong, sustainable and balanced growth that is more evenly shared across the country and between industries'. It set 4 ambitions in the 'Plan for Growth', published at Budget 2011:
- to create the most competitive tax system in the G20
- to make the UK the best place in Europe to start, finance and grow a business
- to encourage investment and exports as a route to a more balanced economy
- to create a more educated workforce that is the most flexible in Europe
Work is underway across government to achieve these ambitions, including progress on more than 250 measures as part of the Growth Review. Developing an Industrial Strategy gives new impetus to this work by providing businesses, investors and the public with more clarity about the long-term direction in which the government wants the economy to travel.

I'm breaking radio silence briefly today to announce the release of The Emperor's Railroad, the first in my brand, spanking new series of novellas from Tor.com.
Here's the blurb:
Global war devastated the environment, a plague of the dead wiped out much of humanity, and civilization as we once understood it came to a standstill. But that was a thousand years ago, and the world is now a very different place.
Conflict between city states is constant, superstition is rife, and machine relics, mutant creatures and resurrected prehistoric beasts trouble the land. Watching over all are the silent Dreaming Cities. Homes of the angels, bastion outposts of heaven on Earth. Or so the church claims. Very few go in, and nobody ever comes out.
Until now…
I've put a lot into the world building here and there is a whole lot of adventure as well as zombies, gun-slingers, and more! There is literally something for everyone in this. If you like cross-genre, you'll dig it. Promise.
Best of all, the ebook version is less than two pounds (audio and paperback are also available). Part two, The Ghoul King, is out in July. US readers, check out The Emperor's Railroad at your Amazon store. Naturally, citizens of any nation can head over to the book's page at Tor.com where a variety of formats may be purchased.
There are already several, mostly positive reviews up at Goodreads. To further whet your appetite, here's a snippet from Publisher's Weekly, who rather enjoyed it…
"Haley serves up equal helpings of horror, fantasy adventure, and SF in this stark, intriguing story of a ruined Earth where the remaining humans are determined to survive."
I will of course be answering questions on the book here and on my Goodreads profile, so if you've any questions, ask away. I will answer.
Eagle-eyed sorts (actually, anyone with basic sparrow eyes can spot it) will have noticed I've not been very present on the net these last six weeks. This is because I've had a very hectic period that is still ongoing. Once it is over, normal service will resume. Thank you.

On August 9, 2001 my brother went missing. On July 9th of 2001 he went up to our cousins lakefront campground and marina to work for the summer. My brother, Kevin, was a lost soul looking for his purpose. He looked in a lot of places but never seemed to be in the right place. Growing up he was always the "better looking" one. I had all the reason in the world to be jealous of him. Kevin, however, lived in my shadow to some degree. As I was going to school and opening a deli Kevin wanted something of his own…but could not find it. It was not for a lack of trying. The truth is Kevin never really knew who he was or was not comfortable in letting those around him know. Living with him was tough but, as far as our relationship went, as long as I knew he was doing something or I heard something about him I was fine.
The idea came about for him to go up to the lake, Moberly Lake North of Chetwynd BC. Kevin, or as he was known to a lot of people Akiva, jumped at the chance to get away. The name Akiva is actually his given Hebrew name. He, when we were younger, also wanted to go by the name Ashley. This was part of his search of who he was.
I received a call at work the morning of August 9th. I was told that my brother is missing and presumed drowned in the lake but nobody knew for sure. All they knew was that the boat he was in was half way submerged under water with the drain plug pulled out and the fuel line ripped out of the outboard motor. This was the beginning of 10 days of searching, both physically and of the soul. My dad and I went to the lake on the first flight up on the 10th. 60 people including RCMP divers, Chetwynd and Hudson Hope Search and Rescue, locals, and members of the two neighboring aboriginal bands – the West Moberly and the Saulteau Bands came and volunteered to search the lake. Most of the searching was dragging the lake with metal bars with giant hooks attached – hoping to snag my brother. Half way through the search I was fortunate to find a nurse in Victoria who was training two cadaver bloodhounds. She offered to come up with her dogs as long as we covered the cost of her transportation. All that combined with use of side sonar was everything we could have used for this search. One of the volunteers even used his seaplane to do sweeps of the lake.
This was a very surreal time. More than anything it was the not knowing. The searches came up with nothing. The dogs who were supposed to dive in the water when they smelled a body slept on the deck of the boat…motionless. My calls home each day to people wanting answers were frustrating, as I had no answers. My son was 5 at the time but knew everything that was going on. My brother's son was 6. During the 10 days we heard many stories about Akiva as they knew him. Most of the volunteers that came out knew him. They all had these amazing stories and things to say about my brother. As bad as it sounds I had a hard time believing what people were saying as I saw a whole different side of him. It was not all bad with him and he really did have a big heart and was a smart kid. He just didn't know what to do with it all.
On the night of the 8th day of searching, a Friday night, we were out on one of the deck boats with two of the dogs. The sun was starting its setting phase down the west side of the lake. We heard stories of how windy the whole area always is but when we arrived, and every day after, there was complete calm. We were told how strange this was. As we were on the lake there was a lot of activity on the dock. What was happening is that members of the two aboriginal bands were coming together. They went out on another deck boat to the middle of the lake and held a sunset drum ceremony. The sound of the drums and the chants echoed and bounced off the surrounding trees and hills. As sad as this all is it was magical. We were moved that, people that we don't know came out to help in whatever way they knew how. After the drum ceremony we all went back to the dock and met Richard. He was introduced to us as the medicine man for the Saulteau Band. We talked to him and voiced that we were not even sure that my brother was in the lake. Richard ensured and reinforced that my brother was absolutely in the lake. You see, the Grandfathers spoke to him and told him so. The rocks on the beach, the North, East, West and South, the Air, the land, the Sea….everything spoke to Richard and told him so. As he was speaking, like it was planned by a special FX team, orange lightening started to flash over the Saulteau reservations….but there were no clouds. Richard immediately said that the lightening was the Grandfathers speaking. They were not happy that my brother was in their lake. Richard told us that the Grandfathers would not release my brother from the lake until the family went home. As we were still two days away from our planned departure we stuck to the plan we had – keep searching.
Richard said that he would come out with us on the Sunday morning to give us comfort as we did one last search. On the Saturday night all the volunteers and family and searchers gathered at the lake. We held a memorial service on the lake. Everyone made floating lanterns that we set sail at sunset. It was spiritual, moving, surreal but most of all it was comforting.
Sunday morning we went out as planned with Richard by our side. We searched for a few hours then it was all called off. We went home without my brother. We had no answers, no clue what happened. The next morning I was back at work. I received a call at 10:30 am. My brother's body had floated up. It was spotted by two fishermen on the lake. Richard was right. The Grandfathers knew, Richard knew, the members of the two Bands knew what we did not. They knew he was there and they knew when he would be found. The wind started again.
A few days later we held Kevin's funeral. I wrote an 8 page eulogy. As I walked up to read what I had wrote I looked over the crowd of people and took it all in. There were around 250 people at his funeral. I started off with something I had not pre written – " As I look around at all of you I think that Kevin never knew how many peoples lives he affected – nor did most people let him know that he affected them".
This story is many things but one thing it is not is sad. Here is why. Kevin was lost trying to find himself. As we collected his belonging from the lake before flying home we found a journal he kept every day he was there. His final entry in the journal that he wrote the day before he went missing simply said " this is where I belong…this is where I shine".
Most of us go our whole lives trying to find our place. Kevin found his. Find yours and don't stop searching until you do.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have uncovered a critical difference between flu viruses that infect birds and humans, a discovery that could help scientists monitor the evolution of avian flu strains and aid in the development of vaccines against a deadly flu pandemic. The MIT researchers found that a virus's ability to infect humans depends on whether it can bind to one specific shape of receptor on the surface of human respiratory cells.
"Now that we know what to look for, this could help us not only monitor the bird flu virus, but it can aid in the development of potentially improved therapeutic interventions for both avian and seasonal flu," said Ram Sasisekharan, MIT Underwood Prescott Professor of Biological Engineering and Health Sciences and Technology, and the senior author of a paper on the work that appeared in the Jan. 6 issue of Nature Biotechnology.
According to the National Institutes of Health, a co-funder of the research, the virus can gain access only through a subset of the sugar molecules coating the cells of our upper airways.
"Using an approach that combines experimentation and database analysis, Sasisekharan's team has changed our view of flu viruses and how they must adapt to infect us," says Jeremy M. Berg, director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the NIH component that supported the research. "The work may improve our ability to monitor the evolution of the H5N1 virus and thwart potential outbreaks."

text: I'd like to modify the surface snow partway through a run. I first tried to modify the snow depth variable in the WRF restart file. I set all grid points above 43N latitude to have 1 meter of snow. Upon restarting the model it seems nothing was affected by the change (albedo in the output file does not show that there is a meter of snow everywhere). Can anyone point me in the right direction for understanding how WRF calculates the effect of snow or albedo? One idea i had was that its possible that changes to restart files are ignored if the model physics aren't consistent. Full disclosure, I am quite new to modelling in general, any assistance is much appreciated.

|I Never Expected That, Part 2
by Greg Scott
All the usual stuff about you must be old enough in your jurisdiction, etc. In other words, if you are underage, don't read this unless you have a really cool teacher who assigned it. Otherwise, come back in a few years, when nobody will yell at you.
Mr. Sanderson led me into his son, Mark's bedroom. I saw my host's reflection in the mirror as we entered. I became even more aroused as I looked at him. He was a hot looking guy. I don't know if most nineteen year olds think of a man who is literally old enough to be his father as sexually exciting. If not, they must have never seen Mr. Sanderson with his shirt off.
He was muscular without looking artificially chiseled. His skin was pale, but it was accented perfectly by the deep black of his dusting of chest and arm hair. His face was perfectly proportioned, and his smile was warm and welcoming. He was like a more developed, more masculine version of his son.
Mark was not one of the guys that I had ever fantasized about, but that might change now that I knew his secret that Mr. Sanderson had shared with me in the living room. I liked Mark; I thought he was cute; and I would look at him admiringly at times. But "cute" doesn't seem to be quite enough to get me really interested. Looking at Mr. Sanderson, I could see what Mark would probably become in a few years. He would lose his boyish cuteness and become a masculine, handsome man. He would become sensual. Depending upon his eventual orientation, he would have many men or women who would be pursuing him. In the meantime, I was quite pleased to have attracted the attention of his dad.
Mr. Sanderson excused himself to visit the bathroom. While I listened to his stream across the hall, I casually wandered around Mark's room.
I looked at his bed, and I thought of the story that Mr. Sanderson had told me. I pictured Mark and Greg sucking each other on that bed. I wondered what else they might have done. I also wondered who else might have shared that bed with Mark.
I looked at his computer on the desk in the corner. I wondered if Mark ever sat there in the privacy of his room looking for the same kinds of videos that I watched while he stroked his cock. That made me wonder if Mark ever spied on his dad, which in turn made me suddenly jealous of Mark.
It was an odd feeling. I was feeling jealousy about Mark having such a sexy dad. On the other hand, that probably never crossed either of their minds, I reassured myself. After all, my dad was pretty good looking by any standards, but I certainly never tried to see him naked or anything like that. I wondered though whether maybe any other guys, like Greg or even Mark maybe, ever thought of my dad as a sex object the way I was now thinking of Mr. Sanderson.
"Anything you want to check out while you're here," my host said as he reentered the room and nodded to Mark's dresser.
"You're the only thing I want to check out right now," I said, trying to sound seductive.
"Good answer," he replied.
We met in the middle of the room, at the foot of the bed. We pressed our bare chests against each other, and I felt his silky chest hair again. As we embraced our lips met in what was the gentlest kiss I had ever known.
Isn't it odd how sometimes the lightest touch brings the most intense feelings, sort of like how a whisper can be more effective than a shout? I felt tingles over my whole body, all resonating from my lips. I may have actually shivered.
Mr. Sanderson steered me to the edge of the bed and manuevered me into a sitting position. He knelt at my feet, removing my shoes and socks. He massaged my left foot and then my right. He pulled my right foot up slightly while he lowered his head. He pulled his tongue lightly from my heel to the ball of my foot, while watching my face for a reaction with his upturned eyes.
He broke eye contact with me and took my entire big toe into his mouth and sucked it forcefully. I had no idea before that instant how sensuous my feet could feel. He moved to the next toe, then the next repeating the process.
As he turned his attention to my left foot, he reversed direction, starting with the smallest toe and building to a crescendo with the largest at the end. The sensations were almost too intense, and I allowed myself to fall backwards onto the bed.
This master of sensual pleasures ran a single finger from my lips down to my navel. Then he set about the job of freeing me from my pants. He accomplished his task with ease with only a little assistance from me.
He let a little gasp escape as he revealed my hidden treasure. While I was a small man, I had a sizable cock. I'm sure that it looked bigger on me than it really was, because we see things relative to their surroundings. At five feet five inches and a bit under one hundred thirty pounds, an average penis would have looked big on me. But I did not have an average penis. Personally, I didn't care the slightest about its size, but it did seem to interest others. I actually got teased about it from the other members of my wrestling and cross country teams.
Mr. Sanderson indicated that I should readjust myself to get comfortably situated on the bed. While I did that, he dropped his pants to the floor and stepped out of them in what seemed like a single fluid motion.
Unlike my own, his cock was only partially erect. To me, that is when the penis looks most attractive and inviting. As soon as he had settled into the bed beside me, I moved and took his cock fully into my mouth. I wanted to feel it grow inside me, and it responded as I knew it would. I ran my tongue in circles around the shaft, until if became too stiff for that movement.
With my left hand, I nestled his balls. I had never felt such warmth as those large perfect orbs produced. I considered releasing my oral grasp of his cock so that I could enjoy those balls rolling in my mouth, but Mr. Sanderson grabbed under my arms and pulled my body upward on the bed, until I found myself laying atop him, fully absorbed in another kiss.
After a period of time, the kiss ended. He gently slid me off his body so that I was laying face down on the bed. He started to trace an imaginary spiral on my back with each loop of his fingers covering more and more of my back. Finally the lower range of the circle reached the top of my butt, and his hand paused.
He sat up and used both hands to firmly massage my butt, both cheeks simultaneously. It felt magnificent.
He continued the massage for a few minutes, and then he stopped that pattern as well. He repositioned himself lower on the bed and then straddled me. I felt a single finger touch the underside of my scrotum. He moved his finger upward across my sack and then up farther until it was tracing my crack where my muscular cheeks came together.
Upon reaching the top of the crack, he reversed his course and brought his finger downward, pushing his finger a little deeper into the crevice this time. He repeated that pattern three or four times, each time venturing a little deeper.
I felt his finger withdraw. The bed jostled as he repositioned himself again for whatever it was that he had planned next. I twisted my head to try to watch.
"Just relax," he whispered.
I did.
I next felt his tongue under my balls, and he moved it along the same trail that he had previously blazed with his finger. I felt a shiver of pleasure mixed with a touch of fear rush through me, but it was the pleasure that was the more intense.
When he reached my lower back area with his tongue, he worked backwards just as he had done with his finger. It arrived back at its starting point. He flipped his tongue back and forth several times against my ball sac. I sighed.
As he started to move up my body again on his next pass, his hands grabbed my buttocks and firmly pulled apart my cheeks. I felt cool air penetrate the normally protected depth of my crack. His tongue picked up speed, making several quick passes across my hole. Then I felt the tip of his tongue stiffen and enter me, not far but enter regardless.
My sigh became a moan. Not only had I never experienced that feeling before, but I had never even given any thought to its possibility. Whatever small fears I had felt had turned into what felt like love for a man who could give me pleasure in such a way. I found myself wanting him desperately, but there is no way that I could have verbalized exactly how I wanted him. I knew that right now, I would do anything he asked. I would, in fact, get on my knees and beg him to allow me to do anything that would give him the pleasure that he was giving me.
Then he did the impossible. He thrust his tongue even farther into me. I felt myself relaxing as I knew I trusted him fully. He started to withdraw, but then he shoved it back still deeper. Back and forth he went. I relaxed even more.
Nothing lasts forever. Either his tongue grew weary or he wanted to move to his next trick of sensual magic. He pulled his tongue out and rolled me over onto my back. He brought his hand to my face and wiped away a tear that I didn't even realize I had produced. I guess that expresses the intensity of my pleasure. It was mindless, something that I simply experienced on some sort of unthinking sensory and emotional level.
That same tongue that had been inside me just a moment before, now plunged deeply within my mouth. Surprisingly, I found it highly erotic that he chose to share my own taste with me.
Soon, though, he moved down my body, and worked his lingual magic on my wanting dick. Circling it first with a few swirls, he plunged down upon it as far as he could. Most of my cock was in his mouth. While he didn't take it all, he managed to engulf more than anyone ever had.
I was impressed with his effort. He was determined, though. He came up for air, then lowered himself more slowly onto my spear. He kept going this time, slowly, less urgently than on his first attempt. Somehow his throat expanded to accept my full size. I was ecstatic, experiencing something that I thought I might never experience.
When he finally came up for air, I could see that he matched my thrill at his success. He was obviously proud of his accomplishment as he flashed that broad smile that I had already come to recognize and, perhaps, love.
He kissed me tenderly on my earlobe. He whispered in barely audible tones, "I want to try to take you inside me some time, but I don't think I can handle you yet. May I come into you, though?"
Now I knew exactly how I wanted to make him feel good.
"Please do," I responded.
He reached down beside the bed to his pants and pulled out a condom. He had it open and on in an instant. He seemed in as much of a hurry for this as I knew I was.
I rolled over onto my stomach. He began his oral technique on me again, using as much saliva as he could. He asked if I wanted lube. I declined the offer.
I was a virgin in that way. Perhaps if I had been more sensible I would have accepted the lube. When he started to use his fingers to open me, I stopped him.
"I just want you to take me," I said.
He spit on his hand a few times to use the saliva to coat his shaft. I felt a light touch as he lined up. He began with a little pressure, but he wasn't making any progress.
"I'm okay," I said to reassure him.
He pushed harder and finally broke through the barrier. I was absolutely determined to show no pain, although I couldn't subdue a reflexive twitch and the natural clenching until the pain subsided. He waited patiently.
When I had my body under control, I nodded.
He picked up his slow descent into my depths. When I felt his pubic hairs brushing my butt, I knew that I had succeeded. I had felt plenty of doubt for a while.
Mr. Sanderson thoughtfully paused to allow me to adjust to his considerable size. I nodded again, and he began his rhythmic withdrawal, penetration, withdrawal, over and over.
Each time he came into me I found myself enjoying it more, but each time he withdrew my regret over his temporary disappearance was greater. He shifted slightly, and my head almost exploded from the intensity of the sensation. Up and down he moved, each time pushing me to greater heights of ecstasy. I think I had cried out several times in utter joy before I actually realized that I was vocalizing my pleasure at the top of my lungs.
"Put all of your weight on me," I instructed him.
He did and maintained his pace. I felt strangely as if I possessed him while he was, in fact, controlling me. I was lost within him while he was firmly within me.
It kept building and building until I just exploded in orgasmic pleasure. I felt Mr. Sanderson biting my back and heard him moaning loudly as he did so. I felt my cum gushing onto my friend's bedspread, but I didn't care. I was out of my body, and, yet, all there was of me was my body.
I came down very slowly. I couldn't tell you how long my ecstatic high remained. I became conscious of Mr. Sanderson becoming slightly smaller within me. Next I realized that he was stroking my hair. I reached back to rub the sides of his haunches. He purred.
At last he rolled off of me. I've read that men feel a void at the time of withdrawal, but that was not what I experienced. I still felt that my partner was as much a part of me as before.
I rolled over to face him. He leaned in and we kissed. It was our first kiss that was not mixed with urgency. It was a kiss that I can only describe as comfortable.
I looked beyond him to the clock on Mark's night stand. We had apparently taken our time.
"We had probably get presentable," I said.
Mr. Sanderson turned to look at the clock. He kissed me again, then got out of his son's bed.
"What can we do about that?" I asked pointing to my huge pool of cum remaining on Mark's bed.
Mr. Sanderson reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. He wiped the remains of my orgasm, leaving a wet spot.
He said, "I guess he'll just have to wonder about that."
"I meant what I said," Mr. Sanderson said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Next time I want to try to take you inside me."
"Will there be a next time?"
"I hope so," he replied.
"I hope so, too," I added.

The Connecticut governor, 55, a Democrat who was endorsed by public-sector unions in his campaign last year, can start firing thousands of workers to close a $1.6 billion budget gap after the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed his plan in a special session early today.
While lawmakers failed to back a separate proposal to curb collective-bargaining rights, the strategy marks a reversal for Malloy. In February, he said he was the antithesis of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, contrasting his approach of negotiating concessions with the Republican's attacks on unions. He abandoned that tack when workers voted down givebacks last week, creating a gap in his $40.1 billion, two-year budget.
"The irony is he so wanted to be the anti-Christie and couldn't be," said Jonathan Pelto, a Democrat and former deputy majority leader of Connecticut's House of Representatives. "He so wanted to pull this off but didn't."
Workers Targeted
The longest recession since World War II triggered an avalanche of measures across the U.S. targeting public employees, with states enacting wage freezes and benefit cuts. Some, including Wisconsin, took most issues, such as health care and pensions, off the negotiating table. There were 856 bills concerning collective bargaining introduced in this year's legislative sessions, according to the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures.
Malloy, who won election by less than 6,500 votes in November, vowed to forge a shared sacrifice among taxpayers and state employees to close a budget hole estimated at $6.2 billion over two years. In February he unveiled a package of tax increases, raising levies on sales and income, combined with about $2 billion in union concessions.
Lawmakers ultimately adopted most of his proposals, in May passing the spending plan for the biennium that starts today. It raises taxes by $2.6 billion, the biggest increase in state history. The budget included a $2 billion placeholder for the savings to be provided from Malloy's promised deal with the state's 15 labor unions.
"Make no mistake: come July 1, Connecticut will have an honest, balanced budget in place," Malloy said May 4 in a statement. "No smoke, no mirrors."
Waiting for Jobs
Christie, 48, who slashed local and school aid by $1.3 billion after taking office last year and campaigned for freezing teachers' pay, pounced. In an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe program on Feb. 23, the Republican said he would be "waiting at the border to take Connecticut's jobs" when the state raised taxes.
Malloy responded in a briefing with reporters in Hartford, when asked about Christie's comments.
"I suppose I'm the anti-Christie," Malloy said. "Their governor has to be their governor. I have to be the governor here. I assure you that when everything is said and done, our taxes will be lower than New Jersey's."
New Jersey residents bear the highest state and local tax burden, at 12.2 percent of income in fiscal 2009, followed by New York, at 12.1 percent, and Connecticut at 12 percent, according to the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit research group in Washington. Connecticut was the only one of the three to enact tax increases this year.
Union Vote
The war of words resumed this week after four of Connecticut's government unions voted against the $1.6 billion package of wage and benefit concessions that Malloy had negotiated with labor leaders, killing the deal. The givebacks were less than originally proposed partly because state tax collections have grown faster than forecast, narrowing the budget gap.
"All I know is Dan Malloy was lecturing me about look how he could get it done," Christie said on June 27 in another appearance on Morning Joe. "He's conciliatory. He negotiates with people. He got these big concessions in return for big tax increases."
"So now what do the people of Connecticut have?" Christie said. "Big tax increases with no concessions, 'cause the unions stuck it to him. The fact of the matter is what these folks in the public-sector unions respect is strength."
Public Spat
Malloy responded today in an appearance on the MSNBC show, making a comment that alluded to Christie's weight.
"People say things that sometimes don't make any sense," the Democrat said. "This is a debate that's more important than who's got the bigger belt. It's about policy."
Asked to respond, Michael Drewniak, a Christie spokesman, suggested the Connecticut governor should focus on issues in Hartford, the state capital.
"Malloy's failure to deliver on contract talks, public- sector union concessions and his imposition of historically large tax hikes in Connecticut speaks for itself," Drewniak said by e-mail. "That's some record."
Connecticut's House of Representatives voted 78-56 at 12:14 a.m. and the Senate 21-14 at 2:29 a.m. to give the governor authority to cut spending in the executive, legislative and judicial branches by as much as 10 percent over the next three months.
Job-Cutting Plan
Malloy this week presented his plan for slashing about 6,500 jobs, including eliminating 1,000 that are vacant. The law gives unions until Aug. 31 to revive the concession deal to avoid some of the cuts.
"If they choose to ratify the agreement that was recently turned down, and if they do so in a timely fashion, much of the pain that's been inflicted over the past few days can be reversed," Malloy said today in a statement.
The Senate passed the governor's proposal to change benefits including the way pension payments are calculated, making them no longer subject to collective bargaining. The House didn't take up the bill last night, according to Doug Whiting, a spokesman for the Democratic leadership.
"A negotiated solution is what everyone wants right now, and respecting the collective-bargaining process is the best way to allow that to happen," Larry Dorman, a spokesman for the State Employee Bargaining Agent Coalition, said by e-mail.

According to Gamesindusty.biz (registration required), Robert Daly, head of developer Pipeworks Sware, has resigned after professionalsoldiers.com found that he was an analyst for the military. Previously, he had misrepresented his status as a United States Army Special Forces soldier.
"I am honoured to have served with the 12th Special Forces Group as an Intelligence Analyst (96B) from 1991 until 1994," said Daly.
"While I wore the green beret as part of my uniform, I utterly regret that I have misrepresented my role by creating the impression that I was a Green Beret. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Green Berets and my fellow servicemen, and I respectfully apologize to the Special Forces community."
He also added, "At this point in time, for the best interests of Pipeworks Software and F9E, I am voluntarily resigning from my position of Studio Head of Pipeworks effective immediately. Furthermore, I have no plans on appearing in any more episodes of Deadliest Warrior."
Pipeworks Software developed a title based on the show Deadliest Warrior, where fighters from various historical periods are pitted against each other to see which one would win a battle. Daly's military background was used to lend weight to the game's military authenticity when applicable.
Analysis: What an idiot. I get that people exaggerate on their records all the time, and sometimes this exaggeration is what gets you jobs (or laid, what have you). But to appear on a national television show as an expert for something you clearly didn't do is… stupid. Someone's going to find out, and in this case it was professionalsoldiers.com, a Green Beret site. I'm sure at least one person on there remembers serving with Daly.
I have to wonder if this is as big of a deal as everyone's making it out to be. He still served, didn't he? It's not like he was scamming for extra benefits. And as long as what he said on the show was accurate, I don't know that I can really complain. Green Beret or not, he still served with them. I have to admit I haven't seen that many episodes of the show, so I'm not sure what kinds of claims he made, but if he was spot on in regards to how the Green Berets or whatever group he was talking about work, then… I mean… he did his job.
That said, I understand that being a Green Beret is a special honor within the military, and I understand why people would be really, really upset that he lied about this. The military is a soft spot for a lot of people, and for some people to lie about their service—even if it's just an exaggeration—is going to feel like a slap in the face for the people who actually did serve as Green Berets. And for that, what he did was definitely wrong. I mean, he should've known better.
It just makes me wonder why he bothered to lie in the first place.

Is your car battery always dying? While many assume its cold weather that kills batteries, they are actually more adversely affected by heat. Heat causes battery fluid to evaporate, thus damaging the internal structure of the battery. That's why it's a good idea to check your battery as the seasons change from hotter to cooler or if you've been driving in a hot part of the country.
To get the most life out of a battery, be sure the electrical system is charging at the correct rate; overcharging can damage a battery as quickly as undercharging. Also, keep the top of the battery clean. Dirt becomes a conductor, which drains battery power. Further, as corrosion accumulates on battery terminals, it becomes an insulator, inhibiting current flow.

Gary Ross ("Seabiscuit") will develop and direct an untitled drama set against the world of NASCAR racing for Universal Pictures says Variety.
NASCAR has agreed to cooperate, so Ross will be able to use the circuit's tracks and footage of actual races and drivers, as well as shoot scenes during races.
Penned by "Sopranos" executive producer Terence Winter ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), which will focus on an up-and-coming driver who scratches his way into the circuit and develops a mentor/rival relationship with the driver he grew up idolizing.
The dynamic is made more complex because the vet racer's son drives for his father's team. Ross aims to capture the visceral energy and danger in car racing.
Ross intends to next direct "The Free State of Jones," a pic about rebellion set in Mississippi during the Civil War and Reconstruction.

As smartphones continue to become an integral part of modern life, open-source mobile operating system software is growing in popularity as an alternative to commercially developed programs. Generally, because open-source software code is reviewed by peers working together on a project, this kind of collaboration generally results in a more bug-free experience for the end user.
Some examples of smartphones operating on open-source mobile operating systems include the Samsung Z running on Tizen, or the Neo900 model, which is designed to be "hacked" by a user with an OS of their choosing like Marmo, Ubuntu, Firefox or something entirely of their own creation.
Earlier this year, Apple released ResearchKit, an open-source framework that invites researchers and developers to create apps that could aid in medical research. Beyond the health industry, open-source software could be applied to an infinite number of applications.
Now that some open-source programs are being designed to be extremely user-friendly for those who aren't extremely computer literate, this means that there's a huge amount of money that can be saved by both businesses and consumers.

To help the security forces deal with the terrorists in the Kashmir Valley more efficiently, the government has decided to upgrade their weaponry system with high-tech armaments.
The most important them are the robots which will help them trace the exact location of the terrorists holed up at a location.
The second is the Joint Venture Protective Carbine, which has been manufactured by the Ordinance factory board. The state-of-the-art gun has been recently given to the CRPF personnel deployed in the Valley.
The high-tech weapon has been prepared keeping in mind the joint operations carried out the CRPF in the Valley. The carbine is capable of hitting targets till 200 metres and weighs less than 3 kg.
It is also expected that the Armed forces deployed in the Valley will soon be provided with Multi-Corner Shot Guns, which are meant for special operations. These guns are the same used by the Israeli defence forces for their secret operations.
These shot guns with monitors which can trace the target even it has covered itself with an object, or is hiding behind a wall. Its barrel can be tilted up to 90 degree, and the laser installed in it helps in close combat operations.
Also, the pellet guns, which faced severe criticism from several quarters, have now been modified and will come with deflectors, which will control the impact of the gun.

Explore materials, colors, and color patterns for the skin of F² by Studio 14.
Wooden trellis may provide shading that is both protective from the intense Texas weather and aesthetically appealing. It can be added in panels before the build or attached after installation. PVC pipe is available in a variety of colors and dimensions. After the structure has been installed on the site, ½" PVC pipe can be slid between the grid. We believe that either option has strong potential as a skin for F² by Studio 14.
As we explored the skin for our gridshell structure, we considered material, color, and cost. We were inspired by several examples. The examples that we have included, nicely represent the experience that can be spring from a variety of material and color.
Gridshell Toledo is a Pavilion built for the Naples School of Architecture courtyard. The structure is the final outcome of the master's degree thesis: "Digital Form-Finding of Timber Post-formed Gridshell." The wooden gridshell was constructed from straight wooden members that were bent along geodesic lines. The skin is applied systematically across the length of the structure. The skinning method has resulted in playful geometric shadows.
Designers, architects, and entrepreneurs are taking PVC to new levels. PVC is durable, functional, and proven to last. PVC is commonly used in the medical field, railing systems, agriculturally, and in storage systems.
At the Sidney Architecture Festival 2013 PVC was used to create a pavilion. The festival housed examples of structures that formed the building blocks of the lives of residents.
In this case, PVC pipe was used to make a Musical Instrument for a children's playground. PVC pipe comes in a variety of bold, attractive colors. PVC pipe can also be found in a clear plastic. Some craftsman have painted PVC pipe to take on the properties of bamboo plants.
(16) 1/32" X ¼" X 24" Basswood, (16) red Polystyrene tubes, (3) boxes of coffee stirrers, (3) bottles of spray paint, and tacky glue
First, we purchased (16) strips of Basswood and (16) strips of red Polystyrene tubes and we slid the strips between the grid of our model at a ½" scale. In our model Polystyrene represents PVC pipe. One side was assigned the Basswood and the other Polystyrene tubes. This allowed us to compare the advantages and disadvantages of both materials. We concluded that the red Polystyrene provided a more contemporary appearance. Ultimately, that is the direction we are moving in.
From our decision to pursue PVC pipe, we purchased coffee stirrers and spray painted them three shades of blue. Beginning from one end we gradually intensified the shades. We began with a pale, Baby Blue in the first few sections. Then, we added a Tropical Blue. Finally, we completed the detailed section with a dark, Navy Blue. The coffee stirrers were attached using Tacky Glue.
After researching the endless possibilities of PVC pipe and from the construction of our model, we can conclude that PVC offers the F² by Studio 14 variety, a contemporary appearance, and it's cost effective. PVC has great potential. In conclusion, we will explore PVC design patterns, and connections.

Edwin Muir is best known as a poet and essayist. He identified himself variously as Orcadian, Scot and European. He was a part of the Scottish Literary Renaissance of the 1920s, actively praising the early Scots poems of Hugh MacDiarmid and contributing to journals such as The Scottish Chapbook and The Scottish Nation. He was also deeply influenced by the broader European literary scene, and his poetic career began in earnest while he was living in Germany. Along with his wife, Willa, he produced the first translations of Kafka's The Castle, The Trial and America, and of Broch's The Sleepwalkers; he and Willa were instrumental in introducing these works to the English-speaking …
