To clarify effects of diet and body weight on prostate cancer development, three studies were undertaken using the TRAMP mouse model of this disease. In the first experiment, obesity was induced by injection of gold thioglucose (GTG). Age of prostate tumor detection (~33 wk) and death (~43 wk) was not significantly different among the groups. In the second study, TRAMP-C2 cells were injected into syngeneic C57BL6 mice and tumor progression was evaluated in mice fed either high-fat or low-fat diets. The high fat fed mice had larger tumors than did the low-fat fed mice. In the third study, tumor development was followed in TRAMP mice fed a high fat diet from 6 weeks of age. There were no significant effects of body weight status or diet on tumor development among the groups. When the tumors were examined for the neuroendocrine marker synaptophysin, there was no correlation with either body weight or diet. However, there was a significant correlation of the expression of synaptophysin with earlier age to tumor detection and death. In summary, TRAMP-C2 cells grew faster when the mice were fed a high-fat diet. Further synaptophysin may be a marker of poor prognosis independent of weight and diet.

In 1880 Randolph Caldecott further popularized
this centuries-old song with his illustrations to
a delightful Lancashire dialect version,
"The Three Jovial Huntsmen".
Here is a typical verse:
"They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing
they did find.
Was a bull-calf in a pin-fold, an' that, too,
they left behind. Look ye there!
One said it was a bull-calf, an' another he
said "Nay;
It's just a painted jackass, that has never
learnt to bray. Look ye there!"
"The morning came, the chaise was brought,
But yet was not allowed
To drive up to the door, lest all
Should say that she was proud.
So three doors off the chaise was stayed,
Where they did all get in;
Six precious souls, and all agog
To dash through thick and thin.
Smack went the whip, round went the wheels,
Were never folks so glad!
The stones did rattle underneath
As if Cheapside were mad.
John Gilpin at his horse's side
Seized fast the flowing mane.
And up he got, in haste to ride,
But soon came down again.
For saddletree scarce reached had he,
His journey to begin,
When, turning round his head, he saw
Three customers come in.
So down he came; for loss of time,
Although it grieved him sore,
Yet loss of pence, full well he knew,
Would trouble him much more."
Poem by William Cowper.

"All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children" (Isaiah 54: 13; 3 Nephi 22:13).
- ~The Primary theme
Coleen K. Menlove, former Primary General President, said this about the purpose of the Primary:
In Primary, we want each child to feel welcome, feel the Spirit, and be taught the gospel of Jesus Christ. We teach children about their relationship with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. We cannot teach of a loving relationship without feeling and demonstrating that same Christlike love."
- ~Coleen K. Menlove, "Primary Is Missionary Work," Open House address, Oct. 2000
The Church has outlined the following objectives for the Primary:
- Teach children that they are children of God and that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love them.
- Help children learn to love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
- Help children prepare to be baptized, to receive the Holy Ghost, and to keep their baptismal covenants.
- Help children grow in their understanding of the gospel plan and provide opportunities for them to live gospel principles.
- Help boys prepare to receive the priesthood and be worthy to use this power to bless and serve others.
- Help girls prepare to be righteous young women, understand the blessings of the priesthood and the temple, and serve others
- (see Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 229).
The primary program started 128 years ago when a member of the Church, Aurelia Spencer Rogers, thought it would be good for the boys in the Church to have their own organization. The purpose was to teach them to be better men. The idea was taken to the President of the Church, John Taylor and he thought an organization would not only be good for boys, but also for the girls in the Church. Just a short time later, the first Primary met. It included 224 boys and girls who were taught obedience, faith in God, prayer, punctuality, and good manners. Today, Primary is an essential part of the Church around the world.
The Primary Organization
Callings within each ward (congregation) are issued for primary leadership. A primary president is called, and through inspiration, she suggests two counselors. Other ward primary leaders may include a secretary, teachers for the various age groups, and music specialists. Primary leaders are also called on the Stake level to direct and oversee a group of wards. Again, there will be a Stake Primary President and two counselors. Women are mostly called to primary presidencies. There is a general primary presidency which oversees all the primary organizations in the Church.
Sunday Primary Meetings
All of the children attend what is called "opening exercises." The children start this with a prayer, followed by a scripture, announcements, a song, and talks (usually given by the children after thought and preparation). At this point half of the primary is sent to classes. The classes are divided by age. Three year old children participate in the Sunbeam class. Four to eight year old children take CTR (Choose the Right) classes, and eight to eleven year old children participate in Valiant classes. Further divisions are made as necessary depending on how many children are in the primary. For example, a primary may have a lot of children in the CTR age group. They would then divide the children into smaller classes—CTR 5 for the five year olds, CTR 6 for the six year olds, and so on.
While the older children are in class, the younger children participate in Sharing Time.
- Sharing time allows children to participate in activities and to learn and sing songs that teach gospel principles. Sharing time is under the direction of the primary presidency. This is an opportunity for the presidency to interact with the children and teach them gospel principles. One presentation a month should be a class presentation (prepared by a primary class under the direction of its teacher). At least half of sharing time should be used for singing (from "Sunday Primary: Sharing Time" at www.lds.org).
About half way through the block of time, the older children return from classes to have sharing time, and the younger children go to class. Not all Primaries have separate sharing times for the older and younger children. It depends on how many children there are. Smaller primary groups all meet for opening exercises and then go to classes; after that they meet for sharing time.
Classes are taught from a manual provided by the Church. All of the lessons provide a summary or purpose of the lesson, followed by preparation for the teacher, activities, discussion questions, stories, and additional activities related to the topic. Teachers are encouraged to keep the lesson focused on what is suggested in the manual, but to teach by the spirit and be aware of the children's needs. Church curriculum is created for the entire Church, so the same manuals are used all over the world, and according to the same general schedule.

"Rue the Day"
This late, lamented Irish guitar god was such an avowed meat-and-potatoes rocker, that the addition of keyboards and sax to his usual lineup led him to ditch an entire album's worth of what would be considered gloriously unadorned rock 'n' roll to pretty much anybody else. Recorded in 1978, that album has finally surfaced, 16 years after Gallagher's death. And if you've ever heard yourself bemoaning the dearth of music that not only rocks but rolls, this ripping opener should put an end to that complaint right quick.

Captains Corner - Tyrell Goodman
Crusaders Sports
Captains Corner - Tyrell Goodman
ts in the Lower Hudson Valley
Captain's Corner: Stepinac's Tyrell Goodman
- July
- 26
Another Captain's Corner, another Super 11 candidate quarterback. 'Nuff said about Stepinac's Tyrell Goodman, who is being widely recruited by Division I and I-AA schools.
If you want to suggest a captain, e-mail me at email@example.com. If you want to check out our previous subjects, read through Tyrell's answers and then scroll to the bottom of this post. Enjoy.
Name: Tyrell Goodman
School: Archbishop Stepinac High School
Year: 2011
Jersey number: 1
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 206
Offensive position: QB
Defensive position: DB
What is your favorite part about football?: My favorite parts about football are the pride, tradition, hard work and dedication. But what I love about the game most is the support of family and friends. Them being there gives us as players a lot of confidence. It makes us play better and their support plays a big part in the game of football today.
What do you do to prepare for games?: Well, the night before a game I like to hydrate my body and get a good night sleep. My coach, Michael O'Donnell, tells us how important those two things are. Before a game I just listen to music (Drake) because it helps me concentrate on the game.
What did it mean to be named a captain?: It's an honor to be named captain. It really means a lot, but as a quarterback I always felt it was my job to be the voice on the field and take control of the offense in order to drive my team down to score.
As a captain, what will it take to be a leader?: It takes hard work and dedication. You must always stay positive and lead by example. You have to show your teammates that you're always going to give them 110 percent every play, every practice and every game, and show them you are by their side no matter what.
Who is your team's best teammate? Why?: Vincent Narog is the best teammate in my opinion because he's a kid every coach should want. He's a young guy, but he works so hard and he's a great kid to be around because he has a great sense of humor. He will do what ever it takes to win.
Who is the best athlete on your team? Why?: There are a lot of great athletes on are team, but Donnie Simmons is one of the best I have seen. He's a linemen's nightmare. It's hard for coaches to game plan against him because he's strong, fast and aggressive and he works very hard and he knows the game well.
Who is your funniest teammate?: Jeff Clack is the funniest kid I have ever met in my life and I'm not saying that cause he's my best friend. Every person he talks to he has them on the floor laughing. He's also is one of are best players and a great teammate.
What are your team's goals for the season?: Well, our goals for the season are to be the best we can be and make the person next to you a better player. And to keep working hard and give it your all every day on and off the field and hopefully compete for a championship.
What will it take for you to achieve them?: Hard work, dedication, commitment and just give it your all. Don't let your teammates and coaches down. Treat every game like it's the championship.After high school, what's your next step?: Well, to go to a competitive college, do well academically, work just as hard on the field as off the field, and hopefully pursue my dre

Fly-tipping warning to farmers as councils spend almost £400,000 in a year
PUBLISHED: 16:13 10 January 2018 | UPDATED: 16:13 10 January 2018
Councils spent nearly £400,000 clearing up fly-tippers' mess in Suffolk and Essex last year. See how much in your area in our table.
New figures from Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) showed the number of reported incidents in Suffolk fell from 3,100 to 2,884 between 2015/16 and 2016/17 – a fall of 7%.
There are still an average of eight reported every day in the county.
The number almost halved in Ipswich, from 976 to 579.
But the offences, which can be punished by a £400 on-the-spot fine or court action, still cost Suffolk's councils £136,802 last year.
In north-east Essex, the number rose from 3,644 to 3,950 – a rise of 8%. It cost Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester, and Tendring councils a total of £251,145.
The news comes as an agricultural expert warns that farmers face a greater risk of being targeted by fly-tippers.
William Nicholl, head of Norfolk-based insurance specialist Lycetts' rural division, said the Defra figures only account for fly-tipping incidents on council land, not private land.
He said farmers have to pay up to £1,000 to clear the mess themselves.
Farmers are also liable if the dumped rubbish damages the countryside, he said.
Mr Nicholl said: "Farmers are well aware of this issue and are saddened by the visual impact it has on the countryside they maintain, as well as it being a nuisance and inconvenience when trying to get on with their normal, daily jobs.
"However, I don't think that farmers are as aware that, should they fail to deal with incidences of flytipping on their land and it leads to environmental damage, they could be held liable under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
"With many authorities looking at introducing charges for bulky waste and organic waste collections and charging for dumping waste at council-run tips, there is a fear that flytipping incidents on farmland will increase."
He said only a small number of farmers make claims for fly-tipping as most have the resources to clear up the mess.
He added: "If farmers are unfortunate enough to have a flytipping hotspot on their land, costs soon tot up and their business could be put in jeopardy.
"Flytipping can affect every part of their livelihood."

Grand Forks man gets six months in shooting of loud TV
A Grand Forks man accused of shooting a TV with a .44 Magnum handgun got a six-month jail sentence as part of a plea agreement.
Daryl Lee Nikle, 56, pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless endangerment Monday in Grand Forks County District Court.
He will get credit for time served and will be able to spend the remainder of his sentence in work release or electronic home monitoring.
Just after 4 a.m. Oct. 2, Nikle warned three people at his home at 2207 Seventh Ave. N. that the TV was too loud and asked that it be turned down, according to a court affidavit. When it wasn't turned down, he fired his gun.
Grand Forks police said the shot hit the TV and the bullet went through the wall.
Nikle must also complete a chemical dependency evaluation and cannot have any bond or criminal violations until his sentencing, which is scheduled for April 16.

About 10 days ago, Brooke Benoit of Rolling Ruminations sent me an email introducing herself as an American writer who has an odd hobby of writing & submitting to Wikipedia entries. She asked for permission to submit one of my picture for a Wiki page, which is list of types of Sartorial Hijab. The list indexes styles of clothing found predominantly in Muslim societies. And she thinks it would be awesome if I provided an image for "Tudung", not a traditional image but a look with a trendy twist. Obviously I agreed to it! I let her browse through all my hijab pictures on my blog and recommended the picture above because it looks like the most common style most Malaysians muslimah wears (even if you are wearing tudung bawal, right?) but with my personalized trendy twist as requested.
She sent me a permission form to fill up & voila, on 21st February it's official!
Check it out: { WIKIPEDIA: SARTORIAL HIJAB }.
And to my surprise! My blog has also been featured in a list of 50 chosen Malaysian blogs 2011 by InTrend ♥ Thank you so much InTrend!
Under Hijab section. My decision to don a hijab permanently has proven to be much a blessing so far! And most of the girls featured in this section are my Scarflet sisters ♥
Oh no! I'm quite embarrassed by that come hither manja look -_-". A style I pulled off at Mimpi Kita's boutique launching, it was actually a raw 2 metres fabric I twisted & turned into a wearable hijab :) I was also featured { here } in the past.
A lil' sneak preview into my small home office/studio, good things are in the making.
And to tease you up a lil bit more, my own label SCHANAZ, coming soon. Just sent a batch with various glam colors to the production team. Counting the moment to pick it up!
Leave your email here to get the latest updates!
EDIT: What a surprise, Tee Elliot drew me! Has a bit of Andy Warhol influence into it, yes/no?
Loving it dear! Thank you so much :) This was me in WIWT: COLOR FOOL.

New Banner Test 3
Thoughts on this one?
7 comments:
Thanks, it remains a work in progress. :)ReplyDelete
My ultimate goal would be to get it redone by a professional artist, but I imagine that would cost a small fortune based on character numbers ;)
thanks for the link m'man!!! I am a big fan of your blog and I am quite keen to GM my own BASH game as soon as I can..ReplyDelete
Our group has been playing Savage Worlds (we love it!) since the first test drive rules came out...but BASH is the first new system I have seen in a long time that I really want to run...
It has a slight learning curve, but once you "get it" it is the most fun I have had since MSH Classic! :DReplyDelete
Thanks for the kind words about the blog. Be sure to buy my product when it comes out ;)
And you should totally start your own blog about your game, I promise to follow it :)
So I will redo this one tomorrow I think, as I want to put them on three levels and this one was just sort of mashed together ;)ReplyDelete
Still thanks for the positive feedback as it really encourages me to keep creating weird stuff from my brain.
quick question...how do I add the colour to the over all body of a character with fabrica_x? I can't seem to figure that part out..ReplyDelete
I dig it.ReplyDelete
@therealtony- Thanks- I hope you get the chance to play the game soon.
I like it.ReplyDelete
I am a huge fan of Fábrica de Heróis and the Bruce Timm style, so I like this.
I am just now getting into BASH. I converted over a couple of M&M characters to it and we are supposed to get a game on soon.

Alerted by his domestic spying, Super Bush flew over the fire and used his incredibly soggy logic to unleash a downpour of brain fluid that quickly extinguished the flames. In an interview about this latest presidential feat Bush was quoted as saying, "Heh Heh Heh, take THAT global warming!"
Kim Jong Ill recently visited Virginia Tech to formally apologize for the record breaking mass shooting that occurred, leaving many families and friends torn. However on his way there a group of illegal immigrants shouted across the parking lot of Wal-Mart where Kim was leaving after purchasing hair spray and Elvis Cd's to "Go back where he came from." In response Kim Jong
Ill shouted back, "Fear the wrath of my massive DONG missile!"
Many teens such as Brandon Snot have been influenced by the growing drug culture in America. These teens begin using many terrible drugs at an early age and say its all in the name of "having fun". In other news the rate of teen suicides are dramatically increasing, and the government says on the matter "What? Me figure it out?". Senators Hilary Clinton, John Edwards, and John McCain raced to see who could blame video games faster while driving their SUV's and throwing money out the windows.

Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Cortisol (also called hydrocortisone) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that is essential for life. It is produced in a daily (circadian) rhythm with high levels first thing in the morning, falling to very low levels at night time. There are many medical conditions such as Addison's disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and pituitary disease where patients cannot produce enough of this hormone and therefore need replacement therapy. At present patients are given standard replacement therapy with tablets in an attempt to mimic a normal hormonal profile. However, despite this, their death rates remain twice that of the general population (similar to the increased risk from smoking) and patients often feel generally unwell with severe fatigue (tiredness). It is now known that cortisol is released into the blood stream in pulses, and that this pattern is vital for the body's normal responses. Unfortunately this pulsatile pattern is not the pattern of replacement that is currently given and this could contribute to the excess death rate and poor quality of life of these patients. At the University of Bristol researchers have developed a system using a commercially available infusion pump that can deliver pulses of hydrocortisone under the skin in a way that closely mimics natural hormone release. They want to use this to compare the hormonal responses of patients with Addison's disease and congenital adrenal hyperplasia on standard oral and pulsatile subcutaneous hydrocortisone replacement therapy.
Who can participate?
Adults aged 18-64 years that are right handed and have been diagnosed with Addison's disease and CAH.
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated into one of two groups. Those in group 1 receive their standard dose of oral medications (tablets) and a placebo infusion via an automated pump for six weeks. Those in group 2 receive an oral placebo and pulsatile hydrocortisone via the pump for six weeks. The pump must be worn 24 hours a day (although can be taken off for showering etc.) and the syringes in the pump need changing twice a week. Participants are taught how to do this, but until confident must see a study investigator twice a week (this can be done at a location convenient to the patient) to have their syringe and line changed. After the initial six week period, the participants swap treatments, so those in group 1 are treated as if they were in group 2 and vice versa for a further six weeks. The researchers look at how well the different treatments work by measuring hormone levels before the start of treatment then again after each six week treatment period. The participants metabolic profile, quality of life and energy and activity levels are also tested regularly throughout the study period. The participants mental (cognitive) abilities and emotional health are measured using psychological tests and MRI scanning in week six of each treatment period, which are specifically tailored to the symptoms of each individual.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefits of taking part is that it will help researchers understand if it is the lack of pulsatile hormone replacement that is contributing to patients symptoms and improve their knowledge on how steroids can cause side effects. The main risk of taking part is the potential of having an adrenal crisis. Participants are therefore asked a carry an emergency kit with them at all times and stay local to the Bristol area whilst on the trial.

LA PUENTE - No matter what happens in the rest of the match, it sometimes comes down to one play.
The Hesperia boys soccer team finished off its CIF-Southern Section Division V quarterfinal game with a golden goal in the fourth overtime, defeating La Puente 1-0 on Thursday.
Locked in a scoreless tie 118 minutes into the match, the Scorpions earned a corner kick. Senior forward Mario Cisneros dashed off to make the play without hesitation.
"I just felt like taking that corner kick because I was right there," Cisneros said. "I'm the one who knows how to take them."
He kicked a hard grounder into the penalty box, and sophomore Wualfre Gomez made one soft contact with his left foot to score the goal.
"I saw the ball coming to me and reached for it and hit it in," Gomez said through an interpreter. "I was really happy. We won and it was a team effort."
Hesperia coach Shawn Yancey and all of his players dashed toward Gomez to celebrate the dramatic win. Gomez was carried off the field.
"That's the best feeling I've had for these guys all year," Yancey said. "They worked so hard and we practiced never to give up. And that was our goal coming in here; no matter how it went, we weren't going to give up. We weren't going to leave without a victory."
Hesperia will advance to the semifinals and face Mountain View at home on Tuesday. The last time the Scorpions reached the semifinals was two years ago, and most of the stars on that team have now graduated.
"No one thought these kids could do as well as they have," Yancey said. "But these kids have stepped up, and they've got back to the same spot as that phenomenal team reached."
Throughout the match, the Scorpions managed to control possession, taking advantage of individual skills in the midfield and a solid backline. They created chances on set plays and had 22 shots on goal; Cisneros and defender Irvin Martinez attempted direct shots on free kicks.
But La Puente, supported by a huge home crowd, didn't give up a goal.
"Playing on the road is tough," Yancey said. "(La Puente) had momentum at times and my guys persevered. It was a battle."
Hesperia left-side back Steven Baudoin, who was effectively shutting down La Puente forwards, received a yellow card as he jostled an opponent in the second half. He sat on the bench until the first overtime period.
"(I was) very frustrated," Baudoin said. "I was still in the game on the bench just screaming and yelling to my team. (Coach) didn't want to put me back in right away. He wanted to cool me down. I think I got my head back in shape."
As the game headed into overtime, the Scorpions were confident.
"That's when our fitness came in," Baudoin said. "We were very fit. Coach runs us to death at practice."
Both teams remained aggressive in nearly 40 minutes of overtime play until the golden goal put an end to the battle. Hesperia goalkeeper Luis Gutierrez fended off close shot attempts by La Puente and marked nine saves in the match.
Yancey said tough competition in the Mojave River League helped his team in the playoffs. Although the Scorpions didn't lose a game in the league and won the title, they had only three wins.
"My hat's off to the teams in our league," Yancey said. "We have quality teams in our league that can be in the position we are right now.
"From what I understand, the High Desert hasn't been given much credit for their soccer programs. Having us and Silverado in the quarterfinals is a great representation for the High Desert."

The Millennium Challenge Account Namibia (MCA-N) Compact investment programme, which is now in its fifth and final year, is playing a major role towards the improvement of Namibia's education sector since its inception in 2008. MCA-N's Education Project is supporting the Education Ministry, contributing towards Government's Education and Training Sector Improvement Programme (ETSIP).
The Compact programme, which is funded by the United States Government's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), has constructed three Regional Study and Resource Centres (RSRCs), been upgrading 47 government schools as well as nine vocational training facilities. Specialised training and support in innovative learning methods has significantly improved the competency and knowledge of young Namibians. Of the total Compact budget to the value of US$ 304 million, US$ 145 million is being invested in Namibia's education sector. Other sectors MCA-N is supporting are Tourism and Agriculture.
In Education, MCA-N seeks to bring the quality of the country's workforce closer to the requirements of Namibia's industry and labour market. One of the priorities is the assistance of vocational training through the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) in creating and a levy collection system to support vocational education and skills training. MCA-N is funding such training directly, and more than US$ 100,000 has been committed to date to support a targeted 1,638 trainees in high-demand skills such as tour guiding, hospitality, construction and mining.
MCA-N also assisted the Namibian College of Open Learning (Namcol) in launching its Technical & Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme through a capacity-building grant over US$ 80 208 33. Over US$ 14.2 million were allocated to the construction of four new and the upgrading of five existing Community Skills Development Centres (Cosdecs), which are located in Tsumeb, Ondangwa, Opuwo, Otjiwarongo, Rundu, Windhoek and Swakopmund. The renovation of all centres is completed and training equipment has been procured, whilst the construction of a US$ 2.1 million Arts and Craft Centre in Swakopmund is at an advanced stage.
MCA-N support to COSDEC training facilities includes the qualification of staff in management. By the end of the Compact programme, all staff members will be trained in strategic planning, budgeting, finance and community skills assessment. PF

Helping communities boost food security in Eritrea
With only a handful of children playing around in an open field, the village of Lamza, on the outskirts of Asmara, looks deserted. This is because almost all the village residents have gone to work on their farms in a nearby valley, where two micro dams are allowing them to irrigate and grow their crops.
- The Adi hakefa-Lamza micro dam is about 12 Km South East of Asmara, the capital city of Eritrea.
- The micro dam was constructed as part of a $1.2 million UNDP food security project implemented jointly with the Eritrea Ministry of Agriculture.
- The micro dams provide water for small scale horticultural irrigation farming throughout the year.
- 1,200 households and a total of 6,000 people are benefiting from this initiative.
The biggest of these dams was built with UNDP's support. It has a capacity of one million cubic meters of water if it rains sufficiently. With the new dam, the Ministry of Agriculture is planning to increase the land to 100 ha and introduce new modes of farming like drip irrigation for increased production.
Community members provided labor for construction while the excavation was achieved through mechanical means under supervision of the ministry. The farmers pool their savings to buy the diesel for the pump and maintain the equipment on a monthly basis. The community said it now wishes to use solar energy to power the pumps.
Barely one year since it was inaugurated, the dam is now feeding 1,200 households and the community has been able to increase its farm land to 61 acres. In addition, the community can now farm throughout the year. With more food available, excess production is sold to small scale retailers in Asmara.
"We have seen improvement of nutrition among the children because they are able to access highly nutritious vegetables from the irrigation scheme," says the administrator of the project. "The children are also able to attend school consistently because they are healthy and fall sick less often."
"I have witnessed improvement in the living standards of the population and particularly women and children who are the main beneficiaries of the project. Water is readily available at our doorsteps; we do not have to walk long distances to fetch water," she adds.
Since the project was inaugurated, new farmers have been given land and they are able to pool additional savings to finance the effort. This growing population has prompted community members to convene and plan improvements on infrastructure and the land.
The land tenure system of the village is based on equal distribution among households. Female headed households are provided with the same amount of land to ensure gender parity.
In addition to the environmental and ecological advantages of the project, the micro dam has enabled farmers to boost their livestock rearing due to ease access to fodder from the irrigation scheme. Plans also exist to introduce bee keeping and poultry farming.

Hi pretty ladies! here is my MAX FACTOR NAIL POLISH IN METEORITE, MOON DUST, ODYSSEY BLUE, GRAFFITI & FANTASY FIRE review!
Max Factor quietly released a plethora of new shades for their Max Effect Mini Nail Polish range recently. I say quietly because the 18 or so new colours integrated themselves amongst the older colours without much fanfare – I wasn't aware of their existance until I saw one of the new shades on a blog which prompted me to look out for them in store. I bought a few to share with you all, and this will be the first installment of my purchases. I used 3 coats for the first four shades, and 2 coats for the last one; the formula is generally very good, but a top coat is essential to ensure a longer wear time.
41 Meteorite is a steel blue-grey with dense silver, blue and a hint of purple shimmer.
42 Moon Dust is almost a purple and green/grey duochrome. In this close-up picture of the bottle itself, it definitely looks like a duochrome with a complex mixture of purple, green and blue shimmer, but on the nails, it looks more like a dull purple – a little reminiscent of Chanel Paradoxal but in dense shimmer form.
43 Odyssey Blue is a royal blue with dense blue and purple shimmer. The purple shimmer doesn't really show up in most lighting conditions though.
44 Graffiti is a forest green with dense green, blue and purple shimmer. Again the purple shimmer is very weak.
45 Fantasy Fire is a super sheer purple jelly with shimmer that flashes red, green, gold and copper. It takes an awful lot of coats to show up on its own so I decided to layer it over a purple creme which looks similar to its base colour (Topshop Late Show – see pinky finger for the original colour). I was pressed for time and running out of light so I wasn't able to fully capture its complexity (unlike this nail polish blogger I found via Google here) but trust me, this is absolutely stunning.

Get Persued to High-Speed Chase
If you are an insider in any of the occasions such as gunfights, airplane jumping, especially high-speed pursuit, then figure out a technical way of writing what you have experienced remains a tough job. However, with a little vivid imagination and experience, the author of this article provides you with some guide on a high speed chase should in case you want to write about it.
Doesn't it always happen the same way? You're heading back from yoga when you notice that the black sedan which turned out of the parking lot at the same time you did is still behind you several miles later. So you take a few unnecessary turns and it's confirmed: you're being tailed.
And, just your luck, the Aston-Martin is in the garage, leaving you stuck with an old station wagon where the motor feels like an after thought and its newest tire is half a decade old. To top it all off, you've no better idea how to ditch a tail than Walter Mitty would.
So what do you do?
The first rule is not to panic. High-speed pursuit is dangerous, which is why few people do it anymore. That's not to say you shouldn't step on the gas a little, but bear in mind that the faster you choose to go, the harder you'll end up hitting something. Besides, there's no rush. Chances are your pursuers are just hired muscle trying to figure out where you're going, not trying to mow you down.
Now that you're not panicking, take a minute to assess your advantages. Are you familiar with this area? Do you know it well enough to lose your tail on a maze of side streets or to time a light so they miss it? And how does your car compare to theirs? A big car might have a big fast engine, but it won't corner very well. A compact car will probably have decent handling even if it's not sporty, but it won't have much kick under the hood. A sports car will do well at both, but it will also crumple like tinfoil if you lose control or let your tail get close enough to ram you.
Figure out what makes your car better and use it to your advantage. Be creative. Even a full tank of gas can be useful if you can keep the chase up long enough. But even if you can't figure what you have in your favor, don't forget the first rule.
There is one advantage that you will always have when you're being tailed, and that is you'll be in the front. You'll have a better view of the road ahead, and of what's on it. You'll get to set the pace and you can make sure it's one you feel comfortable with. Once your pursuer starts to fall behind, you'll get the chance to duck away when you're around a curve. If they're too close, they won't have time to react to any sudden turn you might make (hint, hint). Plus, any yellow light you run will be a red one for them. Heck, you can even irritate your pursuer by spraying them with your wiper fluid.
Lastly, a little bit about the driving itself. Come into curves at the pace you intend to go through them. If you start too fast, you'll have to break, which means losing momentum.
Try to take the curve as straight as possible. For a curve to the right, that means starting and ending in the left lane and cutting through the right lane as you hit the middle. A curve to the left is a little trickier. You'll have to cut through the oncoming lane at the middle of the curve, when your visibility will be at its worst. So be careful with this one, and remember: it's better to lose a little ground on the curve than get into an accident and lose the whole game.
As for getting the most power out of your engine, the rule of thumb is the higher the RPMs (revolutions per minute), the better. The red line on your tachometer (the RPM gauge) is the safety line put there by the manufacturer for regular use, and you shouldn't shy away from going over it in an emergency. How much over it, or for how long, depends on the design and the condition of your car.
Revving all the way to the red line is not always to your advantage. In most mass-manufactured cars, the power drops off long before you get there because their small fuel injectors leave the engine starving for gas. And many gear boxes are designed to be shifted at lower RPMs. The key is to determine when is the best time to shift in order to get the most power out of your engine, and this will be different for each car, and each gear. And, if your car doesn't have a tachometer, don't worry: odds are that your car has a built-in limiter to keep you from over cranking it.
The most important thing in any car chase is to think ahead, not behind. Focus on the road in front of you and don't waste time checking up on your tail. In fact, try to forget that they're even back there. Remember, a car chase is like any other race: it is won by the gradual outdistancing of your opponent, not in one amazing, catch-all move. And just so long as no one starts shooting, you have plenty of time to execute your escape.
Sadly, escaping a tail is a skill few of us will be able to apply in real life. But hopefully this virtual guide it offers some help for the next time one of your fictional charcters has to. Either way, don't forget to buckle up.

I live in Wellington, New Zealand. Just over two weeks ago we experienced a 7.8 earthquake centred in Kaikoura, which is on the east coast of the south island, 180km north of Christchurch. Although the aftershocks have lessened, I swear I can still feel the earth swaying on occasion.
One day later the region was hit with a bad storm, and houses were evacuated and roads closed due to flooding.
As I write this post we still have malls closed, and there is a growing list of buildings that need to be demolished in the city because they aren't safe if another earthquake hits.
One thing that came across very clearly through these crises was the sense of community amongst not only those hit by these natural disasters, but people further afield. Everyone rallied together, neighbours checking up on each other, and helping out where they could. On particular poignant story was of a couple who had been in Christchurch when the big quake had struck there in 2011 and resettled in Kaikoura for a fresh start. The news story showed them using their experience of one earthquake to help out in another, rather than dwelling on the fact they'd lost everything yet again.
A sense of community is also one of the things I love about being online. Writing isn't the solitary occupation it used to be. Not only are there writing communities online, but people who understand and listen to when we need advice or help us find the reassurance to pick ourselves up and keep going after a setback. Although I love writing and I couldn't imagine my life without it, it's not all smooth sailing. There's a lot of hard work and disappointment. Not all stories find their audience or are even given the opportunity to do so, nor does it pay that well for the amount of work put into it.
Being able to talk through stuff with someone, or just make a post on a mailing list to ask for suggestions when things don't pan out the way we'd hoped makes a big difference. Getting back on that figurative horse isn't easy—whatever the situation. Sometimes I've doubted I have the resilience to do it yet again, and probably would have given up if not for the support of others.
Thank you to everyone who makes a difference, whether it's knocking on a neighbour's door after an earthquake, or listening to someone let off steam when they need to, and everything in between. We might not see much of each other when things are going well, but I wouldn't be without any of you.

Food Allergy and Stuttering
Cause of Stuttering is generally unknown. But few researchers have claimed about the connection between food allergies and stuttering.
Stuttering (alalia syllabaris), also known as stammering (alalia literalis or anarthria literalis), is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases, and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the stutterer is unable to produce sounds.The term stuttering is most commonly associated with involuntary sound repetition, but it also encompasses the abnormal hesitation or pausing before speech, referred to by stutterers as blocks, and the prolongation of certain sounds, usually vowels and semivowels. The term "stuttering", as popularly used, covers a wide spectrum of severity: it may encompass individuals with barely perceptible impediments, for whom the disorder is largely cosmetic, as well as others with extremely severe symptoms, for whom the problem can effectively prevent most oral communication. The impact of stuttering on a person's functioning and emotional state can be severe. Much of this goes unnoticed by the listener, and may include fears of having to enunciate specific vowels or consonants, fears of being caught stuttering in social situations, self-imposed isolation, anxiety, stress, shame, or a feeling of "loss of control" during speech. Stuttering is sometimes popularly associated with anxiety but there is actually no such correlation (though as mentioned social anxiety may actually develop in individuals as a result of their stuttering). Despite popular perceptions to the contrary, stuttering does not affect and has no bearing on intelligence.Stuttering is generally not a problem with the physical production of speech sounds or putting thoughts into words. Apart from their speech impediment, people who stutter may well be 'normal' in the clinical sense of the term. Anxiety, low self-esteem, nervousness, and stress therefore do not cause stuttering per se, although they are very often the result of living with a highly stigmatized disability and, in turn, exacerbate the problem in the manner of a positive feedback system.The disorder is also variable, which means that in certain situations, such as talking on the telephone, the stuttering might be more severe or less, depending on the anxiety level connected with that activity. Although the exact etiology of stuttering is unknown, both genetics and neurophysiology are thought to contribute.
Allergy and Stuttering
A particular food allergy can activate our Sympathetic Nervous System instead of the Para-sympathetic Nervous System. Thus, our levels of anxiousness increases. This condition stimulates stuttering.Sympathetic Nervous System is a type of nervous system present in our body, which operates on its own. It becomes more active when our body is under stress. It follows the mechanism of 'Fight-or-Flight'. Para-sympathetic Nervous System also performs on it own. It follows the mechanism of 'Rest and Digest' and hence opposite in action to Sympathetic Nervous System.
Till now no scientific evidence is available. So most stutterers are unaware of this. But certain instances are convincing where stutterers have felt improvement by avoiding certain food items. These instances increase our intesrest in finding details on how certain food can worsen the stuttering conditions in a stutterer. So we advise all stutterers to consult a gastroenterologist to ensure if any food allergic reaction is making you stutter more. All stutterers may not be suffering from food allergic-stuttering but few may experience.Most common food allergen which can cause stuttering is found to be 'Gluten'. Gluten is found in wheat, so present in most bakery items like – bread. When a stutterer is allergic to gluten, can experience high level of stuttering. The stutterer may not be able to complete even a sentence. His stuttering condition can get normal once he stops consuming products having gluten.
Foods rich in Dopamine can also cause extreme stuttering in stutterers. Dopamine is present in caffeine. Some may also be allergic to peanut butter or sugar. The allergic products are needed to be identified properly and should not be included in the diet. Extreme stuttering caused due to food allergy can be checked only by avoiding the foods in your diet that cause allergy. There are many treatments and speech therapy techniques available that may help increase fluency in some stutterers to the point where an untrained ear can not identify a problem; however, there is essentially no "cure" for the disorder at present.

Gene Simmons might be shopping online next year during the busy holiday rush. A couple claim the rocker assaulted them after they tried to videotape him at an L.A. mall, the Associated Press reports, and now they've filed a civil suit against the legendary KISS rocker.
The couple said the KISS bassist attacked them, threatened them and took their video camera after they starting filming him at The Grove mall on Saturday.
A police report was filed as well as a restraining order against Gene on Wednesday, but that was denied.
According to the application for the restraining order, Matthew Nezhad asked Gene what his views on monogamy were and Gene responded by telling him to get his shot and leave. The report then said that Gene attacked Matthew, took his camera and turned on his wife Cynthia Manzo when she tried to take it back.
Matthew and Cynthia are seeking damages of more than $25,000 for claims of assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.
No charges have been filed and Gene has not been arrested.

they call them locavores- people who choose to eat seasonal, local produce. today i'm kicking off a new series about eating local produce, where i'll share with you a weekly recipe using local yummies! first you may ask, why eat local? well, there are tons of reasons, the simplest of which is that it just makes sense. the average mileage of your food, (we'll call this farm to fork mileage) is 1500 to 3000 miles, and that's a lot of fossil fuel! when produce has to travel so far, much of it is picked while still unripe then gassed to 'ripen' it after transport, or it is processed in factories with preservatives and the like. scientists are even experimenting with genetic modification to produce less perishable produce.
by purchasing local foods in-season, you eliminate the environmental damage caused by shipping foods thousands of miles, your food dollar goes directly to the farmer, and your family will be able to enjoy the health benefits of eating fresh, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. buying seasonal produce also provides an exciting opportunity to try new foods and to experiment with seasonal recipes.
the good news is, local produce is usually easy to find and it simply tastes better because it's fresher!
above is a list of the veggies you'll find at your spring farmers market. remember that certain crops and harvest dates depend on the climate and your region, so this is just a rough outline (check out this regional seasonality guide for your area). as you can see, spring is almost over, but i'm going to post a recipe next week anyways and then introduce to you your summer guide! i've also made this list in pdf format, so you can print it out and keep with you while your shopping or scouring for recipes.

When Taylor Met Lindsaybyrpwilbur©
This story follows directly the events chronicled in "Backstage With Taylor Swift, Pt. 5". It can be read as a stand-alone, of course. Events mentioned in this story also refer to a five-part story arc, "Meeting Lindsay Lohan," also written by the author. Again, not reading those stories will not detract from this story, but will add knowledge of the events that transpire herein.
As mentioned in the Disclaimer above, this is a work of fiction. While resemblance to persons still living is intended, I in no way wish to imply this actually happened. But if it did, it would be nice!!
This is also the author's first attempt at writing a first-person from the female side. Critique is always welcome, but please be gentle.
I admit I was shocked.
I stood in the Penthouse of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel with my lover and boyfriend. I had been told not to speak, but I couldn't help myself.
Oh my God! Oh my God! oh my God!! Finally I couldn't hold it in. "Oh my God, that's Lindsay Lohan," I exclaimed.
My man, whom I will refer to as Sweet, looked over at me for an instant, and I quieted. But then something even stranger occurred. Lindsay looked up at him through bloodshot eyes. Seeing him, she scooted off the bed, dropped to her knees and kissed his booted feet!!
As if that wasn't enough, she spoke. "You've come for me," she said. But what she called him almost floored me. "Thank you, Master!"
OK, time to get my bearings. Start with the basics. My name is Taylor Swift. I'm a Country singer, My records have been on the radio for a little over a year. Pretty successfully on the radio, too, based on my recording of "Our Song" being Number 1 for six weeks,and my song "Teardrops on My Guitar" breaking into the Pop Top 10. I'm here in LA after an emergency flight from Dallas with Sweet, the man Lindsay called "Master" (he's not MY Master, I'll tell you that!).
OK, flashback time. Maybe that will help me get my bearings. I met Sweet shortly after my 18th birthday. I did a concert in his hometown back east. It was supposed to be a special night for me. I was going to be inducted into the Country Musicians' Orgy group, the CMO.
When I was told about the CMO, I had been given some basic directions. Post-concert, I was to play with myself to prepare for the Orgy. Then someone would come to me and that person and I would have a one-on-one sexual encounter before the orgy started.
I was very nervous. For one thing, I was still a virgin before that CMO. One drawback to being a singing sensation is the constant workload. Concerts, recording sessions, practice. Man, that left no time for boyfriends.
So when Sweet walked into my dressing room while I was frigging myself, I thought he was the opening act. He had wandered in innocently enough, he later told me. He had won a local radio contest and that included a backstage pass. So he entered my dressing room. I'm half-naked, hot, horny, and he's not that bad looking. What the hell, I thought, he's the opening act.
So we made love. He took my cherry, in a coupling both sensuous and startling in its intensity. More startling was when my dressing room door opened and the real members of the CMO entered, led by my friend Carrie Underwood. Carrie was the opening act.
Well, I got Sweet to stay for the orgy. Afterward, I thanked him for taking me first. I never thought I'd see him again, but he stayed in my thoughts.
Two months later (last week my time), I learned of the next CMO. I was to be the opening act, with Bucky Covington. Remember when I mentioned that hectic schedule? I had not had sex since that first orgy.
I was in a panic. Then I thought of Sweet. I had my publicist find out where he lived, and last Monday I popped up at his door. I didn't know what to do with Bucky. Well he had some great ideas. We practiced (that was fun!), then we went to a strip club so I could learn how to strip. I bought the outfit I am wearing now, and had some more fun.
Yesterday he and I flew to Dallas, where the CMO would be. That was a day. We joined the Mile-High Club, learned about orgasm control, found out my best bud Kellie Pickler was also in the CMO, enjoyed the orgy, then partied the last of the night away with Sweet, Kel and Carrie, who was also in Dallas.
Today the four of us kept the party going. At least, it was going until Sweet got that call from the woman I now know was Lindsay Lohan. We dressed (both of us in black, our clothes covered by similar trench coats), hopped on the first westbound flight and somehow got into the penthouse at the Beverly Wilshire.
The man I had said "I love you" to has been full of surprises since we hit LA. While we rode the elevator up, he produced this awesomely-huge paddle. First thing he did when we entered this room was to beat the hell out of Lindsay's butt. Damn, it's really red right now. But she's not crying, she's just kneeling there in front of him.
"Rise, little one," Sweet said. "How much have you slept today?"
"Just off and on since I called you," Lindsay said. "That isn't the girl I remember you with last time, is it?"
Oh my GOD!! He just slapped her face!! "How dare you speak about subjects I have not brought up first," he spat angrily at her.
"I'm sorry, Master," Lindsay said contritely. "I just miss my sister emmy. I hoped she would be with you."
"Well, you are right, little one. This is my friend Taylor. YOU will refer to her as Mistress. And you will speak as I taught you"
HOLY SHIT!! This is getting even more intense! Me, a Mistress?
"Girl doth greet thee, Mistress Taylor," Lindsay said. She looked up at me for a second. The welt from his hand showed prominently on her right cheek.
"Do you have any upcoming movie shoots, girl?" Sweet asked.
"No, Master," she said. "Girl's wild ways hath lost her any movie deals for the foreseeable future."
"Do you like the woman I brought with me, girl?"
"Master, girl thinks Mistress Taylor is very pretty. Girl thinks she recognizes her from somewhere, but cannot remember where."
Sweet looked at me, then whispered, "Go ahead, kiss her. Gently, though."
I stepped up and gently took Lindsay Lohan's face in my gloved hands. I bent down and gently kissed this woman I had been watching on TV and movies since I was 10. She kissed me back, a kiss full of needs and desire. But let me tell you, her breath smelled of alcohol, and it was a bad smell at that. I broke the kiss and stepped back.
"Thank you for the kiss, Mistress Taylor," Lindsay said.
Sweet then produced a set of handcuffs and a blindfold from the recesses of his travel bag. He shackled Lindsay to the bed, then told her "You will sleep, little one. This blindfold will help keep the afternoon light from your eyes. Mistress and I will be going out for a bit, but we will return when you have slept off most of the alcohol in your system."
"Thank you, Master," Lindsay said. "Girl will be here."
I giggled. Handcuffed like that, she wasn't leaving. Sweet and I retreated from the bedroom into the main room, closing the door behind us.
As soon as we were alone, I turned to Sweet. "What was THAT all about?" I asked. I certainly didn't want anything like that being done to me, that's for sure.
"Sssshhhh, Tee," he said. "Let her sleep. We'll talk in the car."
We left the hotel and got in the car he'd rented at the airport. As we drove to the local Home Depot hardware store, he filled me in on his past with Lindsay Lohan.
"I met her in New York on her 18th birthday," he said. "I was with a girl then, and we were in a Master-slave relationship. Lindsay had been dumped by her then-boyfriend, and my girl and I took her in. We made love to her, and taught her how to be a submissive.
"Lindsay joined my girl and me for a few weeks, learning her role well. But she has not called me for several years, and I had promised not to call her. I've watched her life spiral out of control, powerless by my word not to help her. Now, with your help, I hope to straighten her out and set her back on a good path."
"What happened with that other girl you mentioned?" I asked.
He was silent for a couple of blocks. When he spoke, I could barely hear him, and I knew speaking was hard. "She died," he said. "In my arms. She was so young, so vibrant. But she had a genetic disease, and it took her three years ago." My heart broke hearing the pain he still felt, a pain that came out in his voice.
We had stopped at a red light by the time he finished speaking. I leaned over and kissed him, giving him with that kiss all the love I felt for him. And I did love him. He had made me feel special. He had not done anything I had not wanted him to do. He had loved me fully and unconditionally, asking nothing of me. Now, I decided, I would do anything he asked.
When we reached the Depot, he made several weird purchases. He bought two 2"x8' boards, some smaller 2"x2' boards, some Velcro, a long-lasting glue, a staple gun, some nuts and bolts, nails, and a drill. He added a hammer and screwdriver set at the last minute.
"What is all that for," I asked. It made no sense to me what he was buying.
"I'm planning to make an X-brace to put Lindsay on," he replied.
"An X-brace?"
"Yes, my darling Taylor. I plan to tie Lindsay to the brace and beat the alcoholism and drugs out of her."
"What is my role in this," I asked. "I couldn't do that to someone. And you'd better not THINK about doing that to me!!"
"No, my love," he responded. "You and I are not a BDSM couple. I would never EVER do anything to hurt you. But Lindsay is different. She chose, years ago, to be my submissive. She signed a contract that allows me to do anything I see fit to her, provided I leave no visible marks, nor marks that might be seen if she's doing a movie."
"I'm still a little lost," I said. I mean, think about it. Two months ago, I was a virgin. Last week, I'd only had one night of sex. I do admit that last Monday, I played a little fantasy with whatever he name was, that stripper. But the only time I'd ever read about Master-slave relationships was when I studied the Middle Ages, and it was a decidedly non-sexual study. I know nothing about it in the 21st Century. I explained all this to Sweet.
"Ask me anything," he replied confidently.
"Why am I 'Mistress Taylor' to Lindsay Lohan?" I asked.
"She needs to know she is the inferior here. You are above her. You can then tell her what to do as we detox her.
"Here's my full plan," Sweet explained. "I'm going to be hard as hell on her. She might even grow to hate me as we clean her up. You, my love, are going to be her friend, protector and yes, her lover."
"Lindsay Lohan is bisexual?" I said with a start. "It wasn't just that kiss?"
He laughed. "Don't you remember. When I met her, I was with my then-slave. We BOTH made love to her. Now, my darling, I need you to be Good Mistress to my Bad Master. Can you do it?"
"You'll help me?"
"Yes, my darling. I will."
"Then yes," I agreed. "Provided I can tell everything to Carrie and Kel."
He agreed, and our plan was set in motion.
It looked pretty funny, having the bellhop drag all that lumber and other building materials up to the Penthouse. Sweet built the X-brace while Lindsay slept. My assignment was to keep Lindsay company.
About 10 that Sunday evening, Lindsay Lohan awoke. She struggled a minute against the handcuffs, then called out, "Who's there?" She could feel my body on the bed.
"It's Mistress Taylor," I said. That name sounded funny coming from my lips, but he told me I should call myself that around her.
"Mistress," Lindsay said, her voice suddenly meek. "Please let this girl see your beauty again. In my earlier haze, I'm not sure I saw you right."
I pulled off the blindfold. The only light in the room came from a lamp behind Lindsay. My entire face was lit up. Lindsay smiled.
"I was right earlier, Mistress. You are beautiful. Please, Mistress, remove your coat so that I can see all of your body."
I stood and took off my trench coat. Her eyes lit up.
"Please, Mistress Taylor, honor this girl with another kiss. I can barely remember the first one."
I returned to the bed, leaned over her, and kissed Lindsay Lohan again. This time, she kissed me back. More importantly, she no longer tasted of bad alcohol. Our lips parted, and our tongues met. One of my hands went to her waist, while the other caressed her cheek.
I admit the kiss turned me on. This woman was one of my idols growing up, and now I'm kissing her! And she was kissing me back. Kissing me and more. Although still handcuffed, meaning she couldn't hold me in her arms, Lindsay wrapped her legs around me, grinding her cunt into mine.
Oh! My!! GOD!!! Lindsay Lohan wants me!!!!!!!!
I broke our kiss and looked down on the 21-year-old under me. "Are you sure you want to go on?" I asked.
"Yes, Mistress," came the meek reply. "Girl wants ... no, girl needs your love. And girl wants to love you."
I'd never heard anyone speak in third person before except as a joke. Having Lindsay speak to me in third person, though, turned me on.
I stood and removed my black dress. Underneath was the stripper underwear from the night before ... leather half-bra, leather thong, black garter belt holding up black stockings, and elbow-length black leather gloves. Lindsay's eyes lit up. I could tell she approved of my underclothes.
Lindsay was still as naked as when we had arrived, and I leaned over her. My mouth gravitated to her breasts, and I tentatively licked at a nipple. Despite the two orgies, and the past night spent in bed with my best buds Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood, I was still a neophyte when it came to making love with a woman. As I started, I remembered Sweet's words.
"Do to her what you would want done to you."
So I bit on Lindsay's right nipple and pulled at it with my teeth. She moaned louder and squirmed under me. I caught her left nipple between two gloved fingers, and with teeth and fingers, pulled both nipples together. Lindsay lifted her ass off the bed in joy.
I was experimenting with this woman now. I caught the outer edge of both breasts and shoved them together hard. The nipples moved very close together. With my hands keeping her breasts captured, My teeth and tongue went from one nipple to another, kissing, biting, licking, enjoying the taste of her areolas in my mouth.
Finally I released the breasts with my hands, although I kept one nipple captured in my mouth. One hand went behind me, quickly undoing the bra and freeing my own breasts. Lindsay looked at them in awe. They're not as big as hers, but the nipples were already as erect as the nipples I was sucking.
My other gloved hand slipped down her shaved mons and settled on her swollen pussy lips. I rubbed them, to the sounds of another joyful moan from Lindsay, then looked at my glove. Yep, the fingers were wet. I didn't want to ruin the gloves, so I swiftly removed them.
The next time my hand went to her pussy, it was now a bare hand. I could feel her juices. I could also feel Lindsay's erect clit as she strained for me to rub it. I, however, had other ideas. I took two fingers and shoved them into Lindsay Lohan's pussy.
She changed immediately. From a moaning woman, Lindsay became like a beached fish, flopping up and down on my hand, lifting off the bed in her near-orgasmic fervor. I stroked harder into her, biting her nipple even deeper to retain contact. Lindsay just cried out in lust and joy and continued humping my mouth and hand.
Then I heard words I myself had spoken, but had never been spoken to me before. Lindsay growled, "I need to cum, Mistress. Please, girl needs to cum. Please PLEASE let girl cum!!"
I thought for a second about my orgasm control sessions with Sweet, but decided now was not the time to test Lindsay. I lifted my mouth off her breast (catching a quick glimpse of the teeth marks around her areola), and said, "Cum, Lindsay."
Her orgasm was so intense as her inner labia walls squeezed my fingers that it pushed my hand out of her pussy. She cried out in joy and continued cumming, flooding her pussy with juices that slid out of her pussy lips and onto the bed.
I was really turned on now. I pulled my thong down my legs and placed myself over Lindsay, dropping my cunny on her mouth. My mouth went to her pussy, and I licked at the juices still seeping from her pussy lips.
Lindsay, for her part, lifted her head and bit on my labia, causing me a greater pleasure. Her tongue lapped and lapped at my outer lips. I had an advantage on her, because my hands were free. I spread her lips and licked the inside of her pussy walls, then added my fingers back inside her body. I curled them, and could tell by the way Lindsay almost threw me off her bucking body that I had found her G-Spot.
A couple of scrapes with my nails on to her G-Spot, combined with my tongue licking inside her, caused Lindsay to cum again. I figured she couldn't ask to cum because her mouth was glued to my pussy, so I lapped and drank as she gave me her internal juices with no complaints.
When she was done feeding me cum juice, I needed to cum. But she just couldn't get her tongue deep enough inside me. So I reached down and spread myself open. This time, when I lowered on to her tongue, the woman under me found the spot I really needed licked. Lindsay lapped and scraped with her teeth. I rewarded her with ... oh God, yes! ... an orgasm of my own, nearly drowning my personal idol in my juices.
When I finished cumming, I twirled around, and Lindsay and I kissed again, this time sharing the cum in our mouths and on our lips with each other.
We were locked this way when Sweet entered the room. He was still dressed in black jeans and trench coat. "I could tell you were done when the sounds ceased," he said.
"Master," Lindsay said, "Thank you for bringing Mistress Taylor into my life."
His voice changed from pleasant to frightful in an instant. "Did I tell you to speak, little slut?" he spat at her.
At once Lindsay was the meek little girl of earlier in the day. "No, Master," she said softly.
Sweet walked over and backhanded Lindsay, giving to her left cheek what he had given her right ... a red welt. He then produced from one of the trench coat pockets a dog collar and leash. He attached the leash around Lindsay's neck, unlocked the handcuffs, and started pulling her off the bed.
Lindsay followed, keeping on her hands and knees. Sweet took her to the X-Brace. "Stand," he ordered.
She stood, and Sweet strapped her on to the contraption, her bare back facing out. Then he stepped back and produced a flogger with what looked like glass shards embedded in the ends of the leather pieces.
I couldn't hold back. "No," I cried. "Don't hit her with that."
Sweet looked at me angrily. "I have to do this," he said, "But you don't have to watch, Tee. Go back in the other room."
"I'll stay, if you don't mind," I responded. "After all, someone has to watch out for Lindsay."
Sweet lifted his hand, said "You will not drink without my permission, ever again," and slammed the flogger onto Lindsay's back.
Red welts appeared, but Lindsay only said, "Girl understands and begs forgiveness."
He hit her again, saying "No drugs unless they are prescribed, you little slut!".
The redness deepened. Again, Lindsay only said "Thank you, Master."
A third hit, and another "Thank you." If it were me there, I'd be screaming my head off by now. A fourth hit, then a fifth, all punctuated with a soft "Thank you, Master."
On the sixth hit, Lindsay finally screamed in pain. Her back was now a deep red, and it looked like Sweet had drawn a little blood. But still he beat her. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Lindsay Lohan screamed in agony with every hit now, Wounds opened, and blood dripped from her back.
