If you are looking for a family friendly surfing holiday then you have arrived at exactly the right place. It doesn't matter whether you are a super-fit active family group of experienced surfers or if none of you have ever ridden a wave in your life. This immense category is simply splitting at the seams with options for families of all sizes and all abilities and whether you are looking for a beachfront budget option that won't break the bank or an ultimate luxury stay at a classy resort, then you will be sure to find it here.
Our options in the family surf holiday group are so vast that the world can truly be your oyster – from Bali to Brazil and the Maldives to Micronesia – you can spend your holiday based on land or roving tropical seas on-board a surf charter boat. You can even go on a surf safari with a road trip or arrive at your day's breaks in a seaplane.
Every parent knows that keeping the kids happy is an essential ingredient of a successful family holiday but achieving that here will be plain sailing with such a tantalizingly diverse range on offer. Family surf vacation options come crammed with a range of facilities and amenities which include full schedules of activities and entertainment programs specifically aimed at kids of all ages – including junior surf camps - so it is highly unlikely that you will hear those dreaded words - 'mum, I'm bored'. There are even childcare and nanny services offered so that mum and dad can grab themselves some 'just us' time either out on the waves or out on the town.
Whatever quality family time means to you and your loved ones and whatever it is that makes you happy, either individually or as a family unit, this enormous range of family surf trip options is sure to have something which fits your personal requirements....... perfectly.
Because the destination choices in this category are so varied so too will be the surf conditions which you might encounter and the surf seasons which affect them. By far the largest number of our family surf trips are based in either Indonesia or the Maldives – both of which offer tropically warm water, idyllic beaches and exotic locations, with wave types ranging from mellow beach breaks to heavy, hollow coral reef breaks best suited for advanced and pro level surfers only.
Whether you arrive as a complete beginner, an intermediate level surfer looking to up your standards or an experienced surfer in search of world class waves – everything is possible here with seemingly endless surf destination choices.
Accommodation options for family surf holidays cover everything you can think of and probably quite a few things which you might not have imagined. Choices offered mean you can choose to slot your family into a fun surf camp environment and sleep in a tent among the dunes at the beach, tuck yourselves away at a private villa with your own swimming pool or let the ocean rock you to sleep in your private cabin on board a surf boat.
Family parties come in all sizes, all age mixes and cover an enormous variety of what is considered perfect for holiday accommodation. However, that's no problem here - with such a wide choice on offer you are certain to be able to find something which sees each of your family members collapsing contentedly into their bed each night after yet another fun-filled day.
Family surfing holidays are suitable for every level of surfer - even parties made up of mixed abilities - and no matter what the size of your hard-earned bank balance you will find plenty of choice. You can easily recline in the lap of total luxury for the whole duration of your trip, enjoying fine wining and dining and pretending you are royalty. However, don't assume that if your holiday funds are more limited so too are your options – you couldn't be more wrong. Surf camps, surf resorts, surf charter boats and everything else on offer also come in the budget to mid range categories.
It would be impossible to detail every type of package choice offered with family surf trip options – they start with self-catering and accommodation only options and run through to the totally all-inclusive, all-bells-and-whistles-attached variety. Many offer great deals for families and range from ready-made to tailor-made – you decide how much or how little you need.
Trying to organize a family surfing holiday which keeps everyone happy can be tricky, stressful and time consuming. Our experts can take care of everything, completely removing the hassle and the headache of it all because here at LUEX we understand that there is no such thing as the average family. Call us or email us to take the first steps towards finding your perfect family vacation.

I start my books with every intention of finishing them, but over the years I've found I'm a fickle person — when a book loses my interest, I stop reading and move on. The book becomes a no-go zone in my mind and i don't go back to it — and sometimes the author. I just don't have the time to try and slog through a book which is becoming a chore to read.
But what makes me give up? Sometimes it's a character that suddenly becomes OOC or the sexism, or a romance that is shoved down my throat with little time for subtlety — romance is everywhere, and when it's done right, it's so good and when it's bad, it's … so bad. Sometimes it's little things that start driving me nuts and there's no rhyme or reason to it — it's just a feeling in my gut that I've got better things to read.
I've had a pretty stressful couple of days at work, after which the last thing I wanted to do was read, but I perservered but found myself tuning out of the book — I was seeing the words, but my brain was still caught up in everything i had to do at work. After a time, I began wondering if I should give up on the title — but maybe I'll just set it aside for awhile and come back to it later?
What makes you give up on a book? Completely without a second chance? What would make you come back to it?

"Someone asked Jesus, 'Lord, will only a few people be saved?' He answered them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough."
Today, it is the common opinion of the affluent countries of the west, that all (or nearly all) people will be saved. This view is, however, contrary to the estimation of the holy Fathers and Doctors of the Church. Moreover, Christ himself tells us that only a few will be saved.
Many will attempt to enter the gates of heaven, but will not. The way to heaven is narrow and few find it (cf. Matthew 7:13-14). These words are difficult for the modern world to accept, precisely because the modern world refuses to admit the reality and gravity of sin. If there is no real sin (and no serious sin), then clearly there is no hell.
But if sin is real and can be serious, then it can also be mortal, killing the soul by destroying charity, incurring the punishment of eternal damnation. And so, we may begin our study of this Sunday's gospel by looking for something of an answer to the question, "Will only a few be saved?" Or, "How many will be saved?" In a later post, we will consider what it is that makes hell to be eternal.
How many will be saved?
The number of the elect, those who are to be saved, is foreknown and brought about by God. He wills that these be saved not only for their own individual good, but also for the good of the whole universe. He knows and wills their salvation not merely in general (in the way that he wills all people to be saved), but with a particular effective will for each individual which brings that man to salvation.
Many have offered diverse opinions as to the number of the elect. Some (the Jehovah's witnesses ) hold that it will be the 144,000 of Revelation 7:1ff and 14:1ff [correction: the Jehovah's witnesses hold that the 144k will rule in heaven, while there will be a great multitude of others saved as well]. Within the Catholic tradition, the number of those to be saved has often been connected with the angels.
Some have held that as many men will be saved as the angels who fell – as though we take the place which the fallen angels lost. Others held that the number of the elect is equal to the number of angels who remained faithful. Finally, some held that as many men will be saved as there were angels created in total (both the good and wicked angels taken together). None of these opinions seems likely.First, it is clear that the 144,000 of Revelation, according to the literal sense, means a vast multitude, not the particular number. As most know, 144 is 12 times 12; by multiplying this with 100, you get 144,000. Thus, salvation goes out from the 12 tribes of Israel, to all the world. There are also good reasons to reject the opinions of some of the early Church writers who connected the number of those to be saved with the angels.
St. Thomas argued that the number of angels incomparably exceeds the number of material beings – for they are far more perfect than creatures of the material world and are therefore not limited in their diversity by matter (cf. ST I, q.50, a.3). Consider how greatly matter limits those things which the imagination could create – as the ideas in the mind far exceed the creative potential of the material world, angels greatly exceed men in number!
This means that any numerical comparison between angels and men will be inaccurate. Hence, whether we compare the men who are saved with the fallen angels (1/3 of the total number of angels) or with the good angels (2/3 of the total number) or with all the angels, the elect are incomparably less in number than the angels.
For this reason, St. Thomas says, it is better not to speculate about the number of those who are to be saved, for such is known to God alone. From the words of Christ, however, we know that the elect who are saved are few in comparison with the majority who are damned, but this elect remnant will be raised up and united with the angels of God to make a vast and expansive multitude (cf. Catena Aurea on Luke 13:22-30)

It has been a week since the failed military coup attempt in Turkey. I don't know the situation in other cities, but life has fast returned to normal in Istanbul. Businesses are open and people are going about their daily lives. Heavy traffic is back and that's probably the best indication of a return to normal in a city like Istanbul.
Another indication that life has fast returned to normal comes from our portfolio. Prior to the coup attempt, 5 of our companies had received term sheets and were in the due diligence phase with investors. Following the coup attempt, 4 of the 5 investments are still proceeding. Only one investor dropped out. That's a pretty good sign.
I think that the fact that 80% of the investments are still proceeding shows two things.
First, we're fortunate that the Turkish government acted as swiftly as it did during and following the coup attempt. In the absence of this swift action, if the coup had been successful or if civil order had not been restored following the failed coup attempt, Turkey would have been in a far more precarious state than it is in now.
Although many individuals and foreign governments have criticized the Turkish government for the scale and speed of the post-coup detentions, we need to keep in mind what just happened. Members of the military tried to overthrow a democratically elected government. I can't speak to the merits of each individual detention. That requires a case-by-case analysis. However, faced with the same threat, most democratic governments would respond in a similar way, and rightly so.
The second conclusion we can draw from the fact that 80% of the planned outside investments in our startups are still proceeding is that local investors as well as those foreign investors who invest in emerging markets like Turkey are resilient. In fact, several of them told me that they and the institutions they represent have done business in countries with much more volatile conditions than those that Turkey faces today.
Ideally, the coup attempt wouldn't have happened. But, it did. So our assessment of the current situation needs to be grounded in this reality.
If you would have asked me during the coup attempt what Turkey will look like a week later, I would have found it very difficult to paint a picture as positive as today.
This doesn't mean that the risk of civil unrest has subsided. Although it seems highly unlikely, there is also a risk of further military interventions. But based on what happened a week ago, where we are today is about as good as one could hope for.

It's not every day you see Cher hanging out in the studio audience of a television competition show, but on Monday night the legendary diva went to CBS Television City in Hollywood to attend the "Dancing With the Stars" taping, cheering on her son, Chaz Bono, from the sidelines.
Predictably, they held Chaz's performance for last so that all the Cher fans wouldn't switch over to "Gossip Girl." Chaz had a tough week last week but squeaked by, and this week, he performed to the theme of "Rocky," which he found inspiring as it represented the underdog story. He was joined by Richard Simmons for the classic boxing movie montage in his pre-pasodoble package.
Cher wept from the audience as Chaz scored three 7s from the judges, to snag a 21/30 — Chaz's highest score thus far.
Perhaps he was inspired by having his famous mom in the room. "It was amazing to have her support and have her there. My whole family's here. So special," Chaz said after dancing.

Gulf stock markets plunged on Sunday after OPEC's decision to keep crude output unchanged sent oil prices tumbling.
The price of Brent crude LCOc1 has tumbled about 10 percent to $70.15 per barrel since regional equity markets last traded on Thursday.
Dubai's index fell 4.7 percent to a five-month closing low of 4,281 points, with most stocks in decline. It hit an intraday low of 4,192 points before bargain hunters stepped in to take advantage of panic selling.
Abu Dhabi's benchmark also hit a five-month closing low, dropping 2.6 percent to 4,675 points. Its intraday bottom was 4,611 points.
Kuwait's index fell 3.4 percent to 6,753 points, its lowest level since April 2013. Oman's bourse tumbled 6.2 percent to a 14-month low.

from ServiceManagement import SMCopyAllJobDictionaries print SMCopyAllJobDictionaries('kSMDomainSystemLaunchd')So how does this compare to launchctl? On a first look its great, it provides way more information about each launchd job.
{ Label = "com.apple.systemprofiler"; LastExitStatus = 0; LimitLoadToSessionType = Aqua; MachServices = { "com.apple.systemprofiler" = 0; }; OnDemand = 1; Program = "/Applications/Utilities/System Information.app/Contents/MacOS/System Information"; TimeOut = 30; },But wait, I'm getting different results:
$ sudo launchctl list | grep airport - 0 com.apple.airport.updateprefs - 0 com.apple.airportd $ sudo python print_daemons.py | grep airport $So what is launchctl doing different? Why am I missing airportd and other services? I spent some time reading the source, but that didn't help. I finally realised this was a execution context issue.
$ sudo /usr/libexec/StartupItemContext python print_daemons.py | grep airport Label = "com.apple.airportd"; "com.apple.airportd" = 0; Program = "/usr/libexec/airportd"; Label = "com.apple.airport.updateprefs"; "com.apple.airport.updateprefs" = 0; "com.apple.airport.wps" = 0;The launchd jobs are running in the System context (there are a bunch of others, see table 1 here), and can't see jobs running in other contexts. This also means that if we use StartupItemContext as above to run in the System context, we're going to miss jobs that have set LimitLoadToSessionType to something else, as with the systemprofiler job, which only runs in the Aqua (GUI) context.
$ sudo /usr/libexec/StartupItemContext python print_daemons.py | grep systemprofiler $ sudo python temp.py | grep systemprofiler Label = "com.apple.systemprofiler"; "com.apple.systemprofiler" = 0;

Dieters may be more easily fooled by "healthy" food labels or descriptions than those who don't worry as much about nutrition facts. Keep that in mind if you're still struggling to prepare for swimsuit season and decide to go out to dinner -- or even shop for food – this weekend.
In one of several similar experiments, researchers from the University of South Carolina found that dieters were more likely to rate a pasta dish as healthful if it was labeled as a salad. They reported their findings online April 12 in the Journal of Consumer Research.
To be fair, participants didn't see the calorie count—something many fast-food chains in California post and something the FDA would like made public across the country.
But still... pasta and salami?
In the pasta-masquerading-as-salad experiment, 76 people were randomly approached and offered $5 to participate in an experiment. Researchers asked them to imagine ordering from their favorite lunch menu and seeing a daily special (a color photo was included):
"Diced tomatoes, onions and red peppers tossed with pasta shells, salami, mozzarella cheese and dressed with a savory herb vinaigrette. Served chilled on a bed of fresh romaine lettuce."

Hunting blinds are used to camouflage hunters from their intended target.
In the past, putting up a hunting blind would involve frame building, making natural camouflage out of surrounding foliage and a lot of work. Building a blind this way also meant the blind was not portable. Now, there are numerous hunting blinds available. You can pick from various camouflage patterns, sizes and price ranges to find the perfect blind for your next hunting trip.
Type of Hunting
The first thing to consider when you're choosing a hunting blind is what type of hunting you'll be doing. If you're going goose or duck hunting, a layout blind is what you'll want. Layout hunting blinds allow you to be concealed from the waterfowl, with only your head sticking out. When you're ready to shoot, you can open the flaps and you're ready to go. You can also use pit blinds and boat blinds for waterfowl hunting. If you plan on using a pit or boat blind, you can utilize blind grass to further camouflage yourself.
If you're going to be turkey or deer hunting, you can use a pop up blind or a box blind. Pop up blinds can be as simple as a frame with a single camouflage screen. There are also hunting blinds that look like camouflage tents, with windows to watch for turkey or deer. These portable box blinds are great for multiple people, providing plenty of room to move around and store your hunting accessories.
Hunting Blind Size
Think about how many people will be hunting with you. Are you going to be hunting by yourself? With other adults? Kids? Hunters recommend getting a large blind if you're going to have kids with you. It gives them plenty of room to move around, and protection from the elements while you're hunting together. If you're hunting by yourself, there are single person sizes available.
Hunting blinds, no matter the size, have made great strides in portability. Many hunting blinds only weigh around 20 pounds. The light weight makes them fairly easy to carry through the woods. Their portability also makes them easy to set up, getting your day of hunting started in no time.
Where to Set Up the Blind
When you're ready to hunt, finding the perfect spot is important for setting up the blind. You will want the blind to blend in; don't set up your blind in the middle of an open area where you'll stick out like a sore thumb. Look for a spot where animals will want to feed or drink. Clear the setup area of sticks and branches that might make noise when you're moving in the blind. Use the natural surroundings to your advantage to better camouflage yourself and the hunting blind.
Other Things to Keep in Mind
Only Bring the Necessities
If you're going to hunt with a bigger blind, you'll still only want to bring the necessities(besides your gun or bow). Bring disposable warmers, food and a hunting seat. You may want to bring a lot of stuff with you, but the blind will get crowded once you've got another person or a hunting dog with you.
Noise Control
Just because a deer or turkey can't see you, doesn't mean they can't hear you. It's important to stay as quiet as possible while in the blind. If you plan on eating, unwrap the food before you start hunting. Using a backpack water bottle for drinking will also help to eliminate noise. You don't want to go to all the trouble of setting up your blind, only to have your target spooked by the sound of food being opened.

For back pain victims in Bergen County, their condition can be a debilitating. Ranging from a minor pinch to excruciating suffering, back pain plagues a lot of people. The duration of the pain can also have a wide range. You can experience it for an hour or so if you've done some strenuous work or you can suffer from it for several days. Thankfully, clinics like MedWell Spine, OsteoArthritis & Neuropathy Center, which services Ridgewood, NJ and other nearby areas can help out. Before you seek treatment though, you'll need to know more about back pain.
The main thing to remember about back pain is that it isn't the final diagnosis; meaning there's no disease or medical condition called "back pain." It's actually a symptom of a medical condition. For your pain to go away, your medical condition has to be resolved. There are several medical reasons for back pain.

by Mia Is Da Bomb
Ren Steven's woke up at Ruby's house after a sleep over. Ren was naked so
she threw on one of Ruby's long football jerseys. Being so much taller than
Ruby the shirt barely covered Ren's ass. Ruby's dad got a bit of a show as
Ren walked through the hallway unknowingly showing off a little bit of her
hot ass.
She went downstairs and made herself a sensible breakfast eating toast and a
grapefruit. She remembered that she had to do her homework. She usually did
her homework on Friday night so her weekend would be free. Staying the night
at Ruby's, plus her and Ruby's extra activities made it impossible to do it
Friday though. So Ren finished breakfast and got dressed. She went to tell
Ruby she was leaving but Ruby wouldn't wake up so Ren gave her a kiss on the
cheek and made her way home.
Ren got home and did her homework, she was walking down the hall past her
parents room and caught a glimpse of her mom through the door that was
slightly cracked open. Through the crack she saw her mom's backside, dressed
in only a white garter belt stockings and heels. She was wearing no bra, and
no panties. Ren couldn't help but stare, her mom's complexion was so creamy
white compared to Ren's dark complexion. Ren's mom adjusted the straps on
her high heels causing her to bend at the waist. This gave Ren a delicious
view of her mom's creamy round posterior. Ren licked her lips at the sight
of the 40 something ass not that far away. She wondered if her ass was as
soft as it looked, she smiled at the red pubic hair visible around her cunts
lips. "Wait a minute, this is my mom I'm looking at! God have I become this
obsessed and demented with sex?"
Ren went back toward her bedroom, dressed in white shorts with thin material
that made her pantylines obvious and a purple bellyshirt. Walking in her
room she saw Louis's best friend Tawny sitting on her bed. With a upset look
on her face. "Hi Ren, your brothers a pervert, did you know that?"
"Well, I knew he was a royal pain in my ass, but a pervert, where did you get
that Tawny?"
"Well, he told me he was making money on the web, but it wasn't something
legit. He took some upskirt pictures of some girl without her knowledge, and
he was sending them out and making money off of them!"
"Wow, I can't believe Louis would do such a thing, that poor girl" exclaimed
"Yeah I know, I thought it was horrible too! I guess i just needed another
womans opinon. I wanted to make sure I wasn't being unfair to him, after all
he was selling them to get enough money to buy me these diamond earings I saw
at the mall."
"Well thats very nice of him, but there are other ways to earn money."
Ren went on to tell Tawny about how she did this and that to raise money for
things she wanted. Tawny's mind began to drift, Tawny was checking Ren out,
her incredible legs her sweet face. Tawny had had a crush on Ren for quite
sometime now. Tawny liked boys of course. However one day when she went
swimming with Ren and Louis, it made her realize that she was very much into
girls too.
Ren wore a light blue swimsuit that day and the tight suit accented all of
Ren's curves. It also showed off her hard nipples standing at attention from
the cool water. Tawny remebered going home that day and fingering herself as
she imagined Ren removing that swimsuit in front of her. Now with Louis busy
in the other room and beautiful Ren smiling at her, Tawny felt those feelings
of being with another girl coming back again.
"What should I do" she wondered. Feeling bold and wanting to find out what
Ren thought of being with another girl she leaned forward and gave Ren a big
kiss. Ren was shocked by this she had no idea that Tawny liked her, or other
girls for that matter.
Tawny was the one shocked next, as she was expecting for Ren to look at her
like she was weird. Instead she felt Ren's hands on her hips, and Ren
returning the kiss. The two made out for a while then Ren took the initiative
and pulled off Tawny's black shirt to reveal a black bra. Tawny removed Ren's
shirt and saw Ren's white sportsbra. The two young girls pressed their
breasts together as Ren planted gentle kisses on Tawny's neck. Tawny felt Ren
unzipping her pants showing to Ren a matching pair of sexy black panties.
Ren let Tawny pull down her white shorts and Tawny viewed Ren's white panties
they were practically see-through making Tawny all the more eager to get
under Ren's panties. Ren pulled her sportsbra off revealing her nice pair to
Tawny. Tawny stared in awe of Ren's breasts they could only be described as
"perfection" in Tawny's mind. Ren seeing Tawny's mind fixated on her chest
reached out and unhooked Tawny's bra in the front. Tawny wasn't quite as big
as Ren but her breasts were very perky for their size and the nipples were
pink and pointed. Ren kissed her again, this time their bare breasts were
pressed together, as Ren caressed Tawny panty covered ass. Tawny was simply
on a higher plain as she was out of patience and was already sliding her
hand down Ren's panties and rubbing Ren's clit. Ren moaned in excitement at
Tawny's touch. She gave Tawny nice ass a squeeze as the two girls tongues
danced in each others mouths.
Louis finished sending out his photos, he wondered if Tawny was still there,
so he got off his computer and went to look for her. He was figuring she be
in the kitchen, but he heard moans coming from Ren's room. So he peeked
inside. Before his very eyes was his friend and his own sister were in an
embrace and giving each other wet kiss after wet kiss. Louis never missing
an opportunity grabbed his video camera from the room and started filming
this lesbian scene.
Unaware of being filmed Ren slid off Tawny black underwear. Ren seeing the
pretty 13 year old pussy in front of her dove in right away. Tawny layed back
on Ren's bed, she looked down at this beautiful woman between her legs "God
Ren is so pretty" she thought. She ran her fingers through Ren's hair as she
pinched her own hard nipples. Ren's tongue explored every crevice of Tawny's
young pussy. Ren found Tawny clit and started licking it, all the while
forcing two fingers into Tawny's tight opening. Louis had the backside view
of Ren's sweet ass up in the air swaying back and forth covered only by thin
white panties that left little to the imagination.
Tawny was so hot, she wondered if she really was a lesbian, she couldn't
imagine anything feeling better! She also couldn't imagine anything better
than getting her pussy licked by the hot Ren Stevens! Ren licked and sucked
on Tawny's sweet cunt, her fingering picked up speed and Tawny's sweet pussy
juice flowed all over Rens face. "Ohhhhhh Ren ohhhhh yesssss ohhhhhhh baby
im cummming ohhhh yeah thats it!!!!!"
Ren kissed her again tasting her own juices. Tawny decided she wanted to
taste Ren's pussy figuring Ren had to taste even better. She licked Ren's
tits as Ren still sat on her knees. Tawny took her time sucking each one of
Ren's firm tits. She slid her tongue down Ren's flat stomach "hee hee"
giggled Ren as Tawny licked her sensitive bellybutton. Tawny then slid down
to Ren's panty-covered pussy she slid down on her back as she pulled Ren's
panties off. Ren's pussy smothered Tawny's face. Tawny parted Ren's lips and
slid her tongue in Ren's hot cunt. Tawny reached up and gently squeezed Ren's
"Ohhh Tawny yeah mmmm that feels good!!ohhh your such a naughty little
girl!!!" grinned Ren.
Ren loved Tawny's sweet tongue she even put her friend Ruby to shame.
Everyone of Ren's sensitive spots was touched by this young girls tongue. Ren
rode Tawny's face as Tawny's tongue work had Ren wondering how many times she
had done this before (little did she know this was Tawny's first experience).
Tawny moved her tongue to Ren's ass cheeks and lick Ren's anal passage. Ren's
body was squirming in pleasure as Tawny finger fucked Ren as her tongue got
Ren hotter by the second.
Ren didn't want Tawny to just make her cum she bent down and started eating
Tawny out again. Tawny couldn't believe her luck, she doubled her efforts on
Ren's clit, wanting to do anything to please Ren, hopeful that Ren wouldn't
be able to tell her no to a cunt licking on another day.
Ren's licking was indescribable to Tawny. It didn't take long til Tawny was
cumming in Ren's face again. Ren licked it all up as Tawny's tongue work
finally made Ren orgasm all over Tawny's face. Tawny licked it all up like a
little kitten slurping milk, not letting a drop go to waste.
The two girls kissed and caressed each others bodies still in awe of the
experience they just shared. Unknown to them was that Louis Stevens had taped
it all. Louis took the tape to his room, he thought it over "What should I
do with this tape?"
* * *
Monday morning had arrived and Ren was ready for the school to see her new
image and her new boyfriend for that matter. Ren was gonna be every guys
fantasy and the nightmare of some of the girls. Her new image would still be
Ren Stevens honor student but also Ren Stevens sex symbol. The other honor
students would be jealous of all the attention guys gave her and the sluts
in the school would be jealous of Ren's good grades.
On this morning Ren was wearing her no pocket light blue jeans that were
super tight on her, she decided to make them into short shorts. She admired
her sexy ass in the mirror the tight shorts went slightly up her ass crack.
Next came a sleeveless dark red top, she pondered back and forth and decided
to wear a bra. She finished the outfit of with short socks and black slip on
shoes. Ren liked her new sexy look, all she really needed to be mistaken for
a hooker was high heels.
She heard a horn honk and knew it was Larry's car. She grabbed her books and
rushed down stairs her parents' mouths hung open seeing Ren's new dress. Ren
grabbed a cereal bar and waved bye to her parents. She ran outside to Larry's
car, even Larry was pleasantly surprised by Ren's clothes. Then again Larry
was telling himself all week that him and Ren was just a crazy dream, even
though he knew it wasn't.
Ren got in the car and gave Larry a big kiss, "Good morning!"
"Oh, uh yeah, morning Ren," he started driving. "So how come you didn't call
me all weekend Ren are you my ho or what?"
Ren didn't know how to react being called a "ho" but she decided this was
Larry's affectionate way of calling her his girl. Ren said, "Sorry, I had
homework to catch up on, can I make it up to you?" stroking his cock through
his pants.
"Yeah, Ren you seem to like my black dick so much why don't ya suck on it on
the way to school?"
Ren knew this could be embaressing if someone saw her, but her craving for
that cock of Larry's wasn't about to let her tell him no. So Ren bent down
unzipping his pants and pulling out his already hard cock from his underwear,
Ren licked up and down the shaft as her hands tickled on his balls. Ren then
took his cock in her mouth and started sucking him off her lips wrapped
around his black shaft as she slowly bobbed her head up and down on his black
rod. Larry reached down and caressed Ren's ass being hugged by those tight
shorts rubbing his fingers between the ass crack of her shorts. This caused
Ren to get excited and pick up speed as she gave her black boyfriend head
better than any cheap ho he had before!
They parked in the school parking lot and Ren started to get up but he pushed
her back down, "Finish what ya started!"
Ren went back at it sucking faster and faster trying her best to deep throat
him. Larry kept caressing Ren's ass and with the car stopped he used his
other hand to pull back Ren's hair so he watched this hottie give him a great
blowjob. Ren started stroking him off with his hand as her tongue did it's
magic on his cockhead. Ren looked up at him and smiled and Ren's sweet face
was too much for Larry to handle.
"Ohhhh Ren yessssss thats it you sexy bitch, ahhhhh fuck!" He started
cumming shooting it on Ren's chin her mouth her cheek and even a bit in her
hair. Larry was able to get his breathing regulated and being somewhat of a
gentleman he handed Ren a kleenex to get his cum off her face.
Ren cleaned herself up and kissed him goodbye as she went to her class. Ren
had a little extra sway in her hips as she walked down the hall feeling
confident and sexy. Every guy stopped what they we're doing to check her
out. A mexican student even went so far as to yell out "Hey there hootchie
mama, looking good!" Ren looked back with a smile giving him a wink and
swaying her sexy hips even more as she went to class. Ren walked by Bobby
"Hi Ren" he said. Ren gave him a little smile and walked right by him not
saying a word. Bobby couldn't believe it Ren just totally blow him off.
Ren walked to the door of her classroom where she met up with Larry again
Larry put his hands on Ren's firm ass and they gave each other a wet french
kiss. Ren looked back at Bobby with a "sorry your loss" smile. Larry gave
Bobby a proud smile putting his arm around Ren and giving Ren a playful slap
on the ass.
Once in the classroom she was the old Ren Stevens answering all the questions
correctly and listening to the teacher. Ren was getting into her locker after
class when she heard "Ren Stevens to the principal's office at once" over the
loud speaker. "Hmmm wonder what thats about" thought Ren. She made her way to
principal Wexler's office. He called her inside and had her sit down.
"Well, Miss Stevens, I guess you know why I called you in here?"
"Well, actually, no sir, I don't."
"Its the fact that you've violated the dress code, someone as knowledgeable
as you of the rules should realize this. I hope you realize that this means
I have to call your parents."
Ren's eyes grew big she couldn't let this happen. Ren had to find a way out
of this problem and quick. "Principal Wexler, anything but that! I'll do
anything to not have my parents called, isn't there anything I could do for
Ren looked up at him with sad puppy dog eyes, but what really got his
attention was her top, loose in the front and he could see her young breasts
held only by a sexy lacey pink bra.
Ren then said in a sexy voice, "I do mean anything, Principal Wexler!"
The principal was shocked never in all of his years as a principal had he
taken advantage of a student. Now here was without a doubt the hottest
student he ever seen offering him a sexual favor. He wanted to get angry how
dare this honor student whore herself this way! Instead though he thought
back to his high school days, when he was in school black men couldn't even
look at a white girl. Now here he was getting the offer of a lifetime.
"Ok, Miss Stevens, I'll call your bluff, take off your clothes."
Ren stood up and removed her shirt revealing all of her sexy pink bra. Next
off came the tight shorts, the Principal's eyes grew wide seeing Ren in her
pink lacey bikini panties. "Very nice Miss Stevens!" He got down in his chair
and unzipped his pants impressed by the sexy student's body in front of him.
"Well, how bout a nice blowjob for starters Miss Stevens!"
Ren walked over to the desk kneeled in front of him and unzipped his slacks,
then pulled out his already hard cock. He wasnt quite as big as Larry but he
was much thicker, 2 and a half maybe 3 inches. Ren's tongue flickered on his
huge cockhead as she pressed his thick prick past her lips. His thickness
stretched Ren's mouth as she swallowed inch after inch til almost all of him
was down her throat. Principal Wexler squeezed her breasts as she gave him
an oral demenstration he wouldn't soon forget.
"Ahh ohhhh thats good take off that bra and show me those titties!!!!"
Ren unhooked her bra exposing her breasts, he found them perfect not big but
perfect in look and shape not to mention feel. He squeezed her breasts hard
as Ren sucked him off like a pro. Ren slid a hand down her panties and
started playing with herself as she blew her Principal.
Looking at Ren's pink panty ass he knew he had to have more than a blowjob.
Pushing her off of him he told her, "Turn around and remove the panties."
Ren didn't think she'd have to go completly all the way with the Principal,
figuring he'd only want a blowjob. Considering the other option of having her
parents called though Ren wasn't about to back out now.
Ren turned around and pulled off the pink panties exposing her superior
posterior to the principal. He grapped her ass and pulled her to him, he
spread her ass cheeks and rubbed his member against her young cunt lips. Ren
closed her eyes eager to feel what something so thick would feel inside of
her. After some working he finally slid inside her.
"OOOOOhhhh fuck your such a tight little bitch ahhhh thats it Miss Stevens
ride it ohhhhhhhh yeah ohhh fuck yes, you little white slut!!!!!!"
Ren went up and down on his black pole going a bit deeper as her vaginal
walls were stretched more than she ever though possible. Ren orgasmed but it
didnt slow the Principal down. The Principal squeezed her ass cheeks as he
stuck out his tongue licking her erect nipples. He pumped her for what seemed
an eternity to Ren even if it was about 30 minutes.
Then he felt an orgasm building, "Ohhhhhh yessssss on your knees, Miss
Stevens, I'm gonna come all over that tight ass, get on your knees now
Ren did as she was told she fingered her clit bringing herself off a second
time. "Ahhhhhh ohhhhh yessssssssss ohhh Principal Wexler ohhh you get me so
Hearing her moan and seeing her fingering herself on all fours in front of
him drove him over the edge and he shot his thick cum all over her ass and
her back. Ren moaned at the hot load of jism hitting her backside and she
rubbed it into her ass.
"Well, Miss Stevens, I think we could work out some sort of an arrangement so
your parents don't have to be notified."
"Thank you Principal Wexler" said a satisfied Ren.
"Get dressed and get back to class young lady."
"Yes sir" she responded.
Ren went through the rest of her day with boys staring and whistling at her.
Larry walked her to a few classes then at the end of the day he drove her
home. On the way Larry ran an idea past her. "Say Ren know that big game the
football team has Thursday?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well every guy in the school is hot for your body now, so... what if you
give them an offer they cant refuse?"
Ren's eyes grew big and so did a smile on her face. "Do you mean what I
think you mean?"
"Sure do baby!" Larry responded.
The End??????

10 Things I Don't Like - #1 Containment Mounding
This the K Club - look at the mound on the right side and how much it stands out from the land around it.
The following series will be about the 10 architectural features or techniques that I don't like. The intent is not to put down the other architects that use these techniques because it's a matter of taste. I have spent a lot of time talking about holes I admire and techniques that I would use in my new design work – what I want to do with this series is further clarify my style and technique by explaining what I won't do.
The architectural feature that makes me "throw up" the most is the containment mound.
The containment mound is an artificial hillock that sticks up from the surrounding grade with no relation to the land around it. It is commonly employed to create separation between holes and to supply definition to a landing area or green site. They tend to be used in groups and quite often down the entire sides of holes so that the entire hole feels like your playing in a "valley". Modern architecture can largely be defined through the extensive use of this technique.
So what's wrong with them you ask?
Any course where they are used extensively tends to be very artificial in appearance. Trust me – no amount of fescue can hide these bad boys – they always scream "I'm man-made." Alister Mackenzie explained to all of us how important it was to create new features that look like existing features so that they blend into the surroundings. Architecture is at its best when the beginning of what was created is not clear from what the architect left alone. The containment mound never blends – in fact it "blocks" out the land or trees beyond making a natural tie into the surrounding landscape impossible. It tells the player that the only thing that is important – is inside the high points. Imagine that at a place like Cypress Point!
See how the mounds block out the trees
But they help me aim my shot.
We come from an era where everything is over defined. If you have a carry bunker on a corner – it says make the carry and gain an advantage. Then why place containment mounds on the outside when the one single bunker defines the hole. It's the addiction to definition that has made the containment mound far too common. With grass being different colours and different heights – it provides us with clear contrasts and definition of what is long grass, what is rough, what is fairway and what is green. Add a few splashes of sand for emphasis and everything is easy to understand. The reason the feature has become so common is that every time an architect runs into marginal land they feel there must be a limit to the hole when the reality is it can simply blend out to the surrounding landscape.
The technical problem with containment mound is as they tend to flank holes they also collect the water into the centre of the fairway. Often they create wet areas on fairways and lead to poor fairway turf. The common technique to deal with this is to use an extensive and expensive system of catch basins and sub-surface drainage. This is particularly a shame when there was often enough natural grade to remove the water across the fairway removing the need for catch basins and leaving the fairways firm. Not to mention the wasted earthmoving and topsoil stripping used to create them.
They are expensive to create and a blight on the landscape.

, Human Rights Examiner
August 5, 2011
Fukushima nuclear power plant radiation recordings of external gamma radiation have been so high this week, they went off scale said veteran nuclear expert Arnie Gunderson on Thursday after the famous physicist, Dr. Chris Busby told the Japanese people this week that radioactive air contamination there is now 300 times that of Chernobyl and 1000 times the atomic bomb peak in 1963, inferring that hundreds of millions of people are now dying from Fukushima radiation, including people in the United States.If noticing unusual amounts of hair falling out, confusion, nose bleeds or other odd symptoms typical of radiation sickness, it might be due to the United States record high levels of radiation, now multiple times acceptable safety limits not only on the west coast, but also in other locations around the nation.
Because Fukushima radiation data retrieval and interpretation has been so complex or non-existent for the concerned public, citizen reporters in Japan and United States have now established easily accessible ways to view radiation levels on the internet.
Fukushima radiation depopulation unfathomable: Possibly 100s of millions deaths
Dr Janette Sherman, a highly respected physician and acknowledged expert in radiation exposure who has reported a north-east United States 35% baby death spike since Fukushima fall-out reached the nation, concurs with estimates that world wide, the Chernobyl Kill is one million people killed to date reported NOVA News. Extrapolating, worldwide deaths by Fukushima radiation could eventually be hundreds of millions of people, becoming the most significant depopulation event to date.
Dr. Chris Busby, world famous physicist, said tests conducted at the respected Harwell Radiation Laboratory in England demonstrate that airborne radiation in Japan is 1,000 times higher than radioactive "fallout" at the peak in 1963 of H-Bomb detonations by nuclear powers. In March, Busby had estimated that Fukushima radiation to be 72,000 times greater than what the United States released at Hiroshima.
"Let's wipe the Tokyo Electric Power Company and the General Electric officials and policy makers off the face of the Earth, as they manifestly deserve," asserted Dr. Busby when addressing the Japanese this week.
Thirty-nine year nuclear industry veteran Arnie Gunderson of Fairwinds stated Tuesday,"There will continue to be enormous spikes for at least ten years."
Dr. Busby advocates not only independent studies of the nuclear catastrophe. He received a resounding applause when he told the Japanese people this week that in his opinion, scientists who said this accident was not a problem must be prosecuted.
"Many nuclear scientists said it was not a problem when the knew it was a serious accident. People who listened to those scientists and did not run away when they should have. Because of that, people will die."
Busby explained that the World Health Organization is tied to the Nuclear Industry so their research is bogus. In studying Fukushima, the World Health Organization expects to find no effects "and so that's what they'll find," he said.
According to Dr. Helen Caldicott, WHO's subjugation to the nuclear industry has been widely known since May 28, 1959, when at the 12th World Health Assembly, WHO drafted an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) granting the right of prior approval over any research it might undertake or report on to the IAEA, the group many people, including some journalists, think is a neutral watchdog but is, "in fact, an advocate for the nuclear power industry."
"The agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity through the world," the founding papers state, as reported by The Age.Latest nuclear 'peace, health and prosperity' spike
TEPCO discovered a hot spot location on the Fukushima nuclear power plant site a few days ago with lethal levels of external gamma radiation.
How the latest radiation spike at Fukushima might have been deposited and also how similar radioactive material would have been released off-site was presented this week by Gunderson, with over 25-years of experience in nuclear decommissioning oversight, co-authored the first edition of the Department Of Energy (DOE) Decommissioning Handbook. (See embedded Vimeo, "Lethal Levels of Radiation at Fukushima: What Are the Implications?", Arnie Gunderson, Fairwinds)
Gunderson noted that over 1000 REMs were released according to TEPCO earlier this week, an amount that, "if there, would mean death within a couple of days."
"Those kinds of exposures cause extensive neurological breakdowns that can't be reversed medically," Gunderson reported.
"To be anywhere near that for a couple of minutes would be a death sentence."
Gunderson has questioned how this hot spot could have been missed over 100 days.
"Earlier site maps do not show this high concentration of radioactivity in that area," he said. "More likely that this event happened over time. This radiation built up over time."
Gunderson said he wanted to put that into perspective and let the public know what is happening, saying the key is that it occurred in a vent.
It contained cesium and hot water that ran down the outside of the pipe and collected in the bottom, so the concentration got higher and higher as more water containing cesium came down. It was found in a stack condensing.
"Air was being pulled over that and exhausted into the air for a long period of time," he said.
"It speaks to how much radiation was released over the last 140 days, only a small amount compared to the total amount being released to the environment."
Nuclear insanity, 'Destroyer of Worlds' hits states but fixed by vaccines?
According to Gunderson, over the next ten years, there will be continued spikes in radiation on site, first where places bulldozed actually come to the surface in excavations.
"There will continue to be enormous radioactive sources that are unearthed," he said."When they get into these buildings to actually try to dismantle the plant, they are going to find even higher radiation levels than this one."
"At the bottom of the plant, the nuclear core has leaked out and is now lying like a pancake on the concrete floor, working its way down, but probably not through the concrete."
According to Gunderson, the bottom if the plant has even much more radioactive material leaking than the recent off-the-scale recordings.
"It's going to take ten or twenty years to clean up," he said.
The Japanese government has called for a voluntary cease of using compost materials from fallen leaves due to humus registering cesium over the government's acceptable radiation limits according to MSNBC World News Asia Pacific.
Following criticism of government radiation data being too difficult to interpret, organizations started collecting their own data. Now, the government is helping to interpret radiation readings found in air, water, grass, farm soil, trees and food.
Alexander Higgins is among citizen reporters in the United States who are rallying to provide accurate radiation monitoring data to Americans. This week, Higgins presented a new interactive website that clearly shows with maps and charts the radiation levels across the country.
Data on these pages reflect CPMs remarkably higher than government safety levels. For example, in recent days, Los Angeles radiation has been spiking higher than 300 CPMs, and Little Rock, higher than 250 CPMs. (See: "Real Time EPA RadNet Japan Nuclear Radiation Monitoring For Every Major City In The Entire US On A Single Page," Higgins, A.)
Global Security Newswire reported over one hundred million dollars allocated for drug research companies to address radiation sickness in the United States. Within less than a week of Fukushima's catastrophe onset, on Mar 16, U.S. bio-defense groups, that develop products for radiation leak effects from nuclear power plants and attacks and a number of anti-cancer drugs, were awarded a five-year $118 million contract to further develop "research and producing vaccines and immunotherapies directed at potential agents of bio-terrorism," according to Daily Finance.
"The government's concern is reflected in the 2004 passage of the BioShield Act, which created Project BioShield to fund countermeasures against a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack. The project has set aside $5.6 billion for the next 10 years for the government purchase of next-generation medical countermeasures, including improved vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The budget includes grants from the Department of Health and Human Resources to biotechs developing such bio-defense products. That $5.6 billion budget may now look insufficient. Already, there is talk among some senators for the need to bump up the nation's preparedness in the wake of the nuclear crisis in Japan." (Daily Finance)
As Americans struggle to survive amid the economic depression, Obama has allocated 39 billion dollars for the U.S. nuclear power industry, an industry that peace and justice human rights defender Dr. Caldicott has called "nuclear insanity" and the "Destroyer of Worlds."

When writing my previous blog, I was just preparing for the exams of Period 1. These were my first exams for the Masters program International Economics & Business and I did not really know what to expect from them. It had been a pretty hectic period altogether, with lots of deadlines and project group work. To be honest I couldn't wait for it all to be finished.
After two weeks of waiting, we finally received our final grades, and I am glad to say that I have passed them both. In the meantime the next period has already kicked off, with some new exciting courses. I am currently following the course Urban Development, digging into the theory and challenges behind development in urban areas. The course Institutions, Growth & Development explores the differences in economic growth patterns across countries and their underlying reasons.
The main assignment consists of writing a report on two Sub-Saharan African countries, Zambia and Madagascar in my case, to find out whether their economic development is in line with the literature.
Apart from the actual studying we got something else exciting going on, namely the fact that our department of the Masters Program has a certain fund available to organize study-related activities. One can think of a intriguing guest lecture, a movie night, meet and great with an institute in the field or even a conference. We are currently determining what activity would be the most popular among the students.
Apart from all these exciting study related topics this period is going to be an extremely hectic one. First of all, we have to start thinking about what to do after we finish our studies. In relation to this labour market orientation process I am attending ECU '92's Economic Career Event, on the 29th of November. Secondly, it is time to determine what courses to follow in the third period, which is the last term in which I will effectively be following courses before I write my final thesis. Thirdly, the deadline for handing in a thesis proposal is rapidly approaching. This is the option to come up with an own thesis proposal or to write the thesis at a company.
As December is quickly approaching, it is almost time to shave off my contribution to the Movember movement. In all honesty, there isn't much to shave off, but hey, at least I tried. We are slowly moving towards the most wonderful time of the year. The days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer, the temperature is getting colder and the cocoa is getting warmer. Despite all of this, it is still my favourite part of the year, as the Christmas holidays are upon us. At the beginning of December I will celebrate Sinterklaas with my family and some really close friends, so I should start waking up my creative side and come up with a nice poem and 'Surprise'. At the end of the month, my family will come together to celebrate Christmas and I am looking forward to spending some long awaited family time. Also, I can't wait to see my mother's completely decorated Christmas tree with real candles, bright red balls and an astounding star at the pinnacle of it all. Finally, we head towards the end of the year accompanied by the musical prowess of Radio 2's Top 2000, and obviously the grand finale: New Year's Eve.

I have been inspired by seeing how all you ladies wear stacks, and I want to jump on that bandwagon!
You ladies are so helpful, so I thought I'd ask y'all what I should add to this current set. I would like something with the milgrain detail of the engagement ring. And maybe something with emeralds? Or even just a simple band to give this set just a little more character. I would like something to allow for some space. So something that feels light and airy. Maybe something that twists. I don't want to spend more than $500 on another band.
This is my current set. As you can see, it is set very low.
I found something like this? But I cannot afford this one. And I honestly don't want it to be eternity. I find it much more comfortable to wear just 1/2 way or 3/4 around.
Sorry if these are huge. I haven't quite gotten the hang of posting pictures here. Thanks for any advice or inspiration!

One social skill that must be learned, is that other people have points of view that are not only different, but *threatening*, to your own. In turn, your opinions may be threatening to others. There is nothing wrong with this. Your beliefs need not be hidden behind a facade, as happens with face-to-face conversation. Not everybody in the world is a bosom buddy, but you can still have a meaningful conversation with them. The person who cannot do this lacks in social skills. -- Nick Szabo WORDS TO LIVE BY #2: USENET AS ANARCHY -------------------- Anarchy means having to put up with things that really piss you off. -- Unknown

Fresh garden goodness
Growing happily in the veggie patch right now is my New Zealznd spinach. This is the first crop of this particular variety,grown from seed. I have been delighted with the result! The crop is very productive and dark green leaves grow to a very good,large size. I'll definately plant this variety again. (Makes a delicious spinach quiche for lunch, if you're interested!)
Something with a fresh green touch in my shop this month will be this Peruvian garden bracelet. Definately fresh and very Spring like I think.

I have not heard of NZ spinach, looks so healthy Maryann, we are enjoying our veggie garden at the moment as well :)ReplyDelete
lovely bracelet!
Thanks Gillian. Actually, the top photo is of my yellow leaf lettuce, also grown from seed. I love trying out heirloom and different veggie types I get from Diggers Club. The crops are always the best tasting!ReplyDelete

Importance of Journaling
A key tool most successful traders use is a Trading Journal. The reason we keep journals is so we can easily go back and review past trades and figure out what went right, what went wrong, and attempt to figure out why. There are many different ways that you can keep your own trading journal. In this post, I'm going to show you how I started keeping my trading journal in excel, how you can do the same, and how you can even download this template for free!
Designing a Trading Journal
My trading journal template came about after reading "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas. One of the suggestions in his book is to keep a trading journal of all of your operations in the market so that you may perform a post analysis of exactly what you did and why you did it. He stressed the importance of recording this information as soon as possible, preferably immediately. The reason is because the longer we wait to record our decisions, the more time we give ourselves to justify them. A good journal will capture your actions as close to raw as possible.
In designing my trading journal template, I opted to use Excel because it provided me with a large workspace where I can keep just about everything I wish to track, plan with, analyze, etc.. And the ability to use formulas to automate some of the processes and make it more efficient.
The images below provide detail on how to use the trading journal, the various fields within it, and how to make it work for you.

I just remembered that I forgot to tell you what exactly Bacchus is. Bacchus is a Nigerian made tonic wine. I don't know where they get their grapes from, but I can tell you that I'm 3 sips in, and I love it already. Forget about all of that rubbish about it being grim. It's grimly awesome, and it's the best medicine I've ever tasted. It's pretty strong at 18%, but strength is also equal to economy. As a trained economist, I'm all about the economy of things. Yes, SYSTEM, EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY!!
On the day of the party, I had another. It was the Reloaded magazine party. There was a time when I might have done some work for them, but I think that's dead now. I'm not sad. Sometimes things don't work out and there's beauty in that. You pick yourself up and walk. If you're lucky you run. I'm lucky. I'm sprinting. The Reloaded magazine party was meant to start at 5pm, but when I got there at 8 it hadn't started. I didn't wait for a minute. There was no point really. You see in my world every moment is pregnant with opportunity. If you go to this party, and speak to this person who's incredibly important, you might get work that's big enough to change everything. Every moment is filled with the promise of success. On that night in particular, I was over it. I wasn't going to wait till 10 for the dream of a dream. I found the very idea of it dishonourable. I'm Afam. I'm no man's doormat. I won't let anyone cut open my head and shit down my neck for free. So I hopped in the pimp mobil and sped to Ikoyi.
I could tell you where exactly in Ikoyi the party was but I won't. And I could tell you which prominent Lagos family hosted it but I won't. Those parts of the story are uninteresting to me and so I shan't bother with them. All you need to know about the house is that it is beautiful. And all you need to know about the family, is that I felt welcome. I was invited by a young lady called Dede. She's magnificent. That phrase is enough. Any more words extolling her virtues would only diminish her in your eyes. In this instance, your eyes are the ones that matter most for after I put this up, I lose all possession of it. You will interprete it the way you see fit and I will have to live with your various interpretations. If you say that it's sarcastic, it is, and if you say that it's fake, then it is. But I'm a rambling madman, a phrase will never be enough. Even if it is enough for you, it'll never be enough for me. Dede wears a mask at all times. It's a perfectly natural mask, and that's its best and most damning quality. She makes it clear that there's more than one level to her, and you envy the people who've made it past the first. The amazing thing is, when you're speaking to her one on one, you're never quite sure what level you're on. Her smile is easy. Her movement is self assured.
The decor was vaguely reminiscent of a harem. It had something to do with the low sofas and the primary and secondary coloured lighting. The crowd was weird. Well off Nigerian twenty somethings together are always weird. They're too concerned about how they are perceived to let loose, so even when they speak to one another, the conversation is stilted and stiff. They're far too wound up to have fun when they're gathered en masse. So they tend to stick to the people they know best, surrounded by copious amounts of the only legal social lubricant apart from cigarettes I know of.
The thing about this party is that they somehow manage to get the best, most entertaining, most exciting performers every year. This year they had Temi Dollface, Ice Prince Zamani and Wizkid.
Temi Dollface, is an extraordinary performer. She makes every effort to involve her audience. Most Nigerian performers screech to their backing tracks but not she. Her music is always live. She travels with her band back up singers who double up as azonto and etighi masters. She's only got one single so far, Pata Pata. It's a banger, made all the more interesting by its interactive video. The crowd was difficult. The children of the rich aren't ones to display their fandom publicly. Before they deign to sing along, they probably have the following conversation with themselves in their heads.
Enter Super Rich Kid (SRK), and Super Rich Kid's alter ego (SRKA)
SRKA: I love this song. I think I'm going to go to the dance floor and dance like a dervish.
SRK: You'll do no such thing. Look at everyone watching. People will talk.
SRKA: But who cares? Everybody talks. Let them say what they will.
SRK: I care. And who's the person we'll be dancing to? They're nobody.
SRKA: But I really like the song!
SRK: I'd understand if it were Dbanj or Wizkid but who the who is Temi Dollface?
She's used to this sort of thing. It's difficult to be as stiff as our exemplary fellow when she takes the stage. She was so determined to gain the attention of her audience that at one stage she lay down on it and said that she wouldn't stand up until our reaction got louder.
|Yes, she's looking at me here. I'm a little bit of an attention grabber... or she's a little bit of a camera lover. I only had my iphone camera but I wasn't going to miss this shot.
|How Gaga is this?
Lastly we have Wizkid.
I quite like Wizkid, he's got as many hits as Dbanj in less than half the time and that's a commendable feat. His face is too fresh though. I mean, it looks prepubescent. I'll probably ask him if he wears makeup the next time I see him.
The party was totes amaze.
|That's me with a can of Gulder. Gulder is a decent Lager you know?
I'm tired and tipsy now, so I'm going to go to sleep. You don't mind do you? I'm not sure what this post was exactly. It's quite possible that I lost my way half way through. Until next time.
Happy Days,
