Deshi Sexy Girl Romance in Bedroom
Male-Female, Pregnant
Immortal997
The Suite Life on Deck: Episode 3 Bailey Pickett sat in her room, crying. She was sprawled back on her bed, with a box of tissues in one hand and a tissue in her other, which was held up to her nose. There was a trash can besides the bed, which was already half-full of used tissues. She blew her nose, and tossed that tissue in the trash.
There was a knock on her door, and she called out "Who…who is it?" Her voice sounded stuffy and clogged up, as if she'd been crying for hours. Which she had.
"Its Janice and Jessica," said a feminine voice. "We were looking for Maya," said a similar but different voice. "But we don't know where her cabin is," finished the first voice. "C…come in!" She sobbed, trying to get her voice under control, and sat up on the edge of her bed. The door opened and in stepped the two hot, blond twins. The first one noticed Bailey crying and immediately ran over and sat down next to her, putting her arms around the upset girl and pulling her into her chest.
"It's okay Bailey, it's okay." The other twin shut the door behind her and sat down on the other side of Bailey, putting her hand on Bailey's leg and moving it softly up and down. Gradually, Bailey stopped crying and sniffed a few times. "I…I'm sorry, you guys." "No, Bailey, its fine." Said the one on her left.
"What's wrong?" Asked the other one. "Well…I sort of accidentally cheated on Cody…" "You!?" Exclaimed the one on her right. Listening to her now, Bailey figured that she was Janice, while the one on her right was Jessica.
"Yeah…it wasn't my fault!" "Tell us about it, honey." Said Janice. "Okay…well this morning I got a text from Cody telling me to come to his room. The lights were off and I couldn't see, so when I saw him in there I just walked right in and we…had sex. After…when my eyes were adjusted…I saw that it was actually Zack." "Oh…" Said Janice. "Wow…" Continued Jessica.
"That's a problem." They both stated, at the same time. "I know," she replied, sniffing again. "But it wasn't my fault!" "We know it wasn't, honey," replied Janice. "Here's what you do," continued Jessica. "All you have to do to get a man to forgive you and get his mind off something is give him something new.
Now, obviously, Cody's going to need A LOT of new to get his mind of this thing." "What do you mean…" asked Bailey. "Well, the only thing you're going to be able to give Cody that's new is sex." "But I've already given him that." "Then give him new sex." Replied Janice. "Have you let him have your ass?" Asked Jessica, bluntly.
"Well…no!" "That's a start. But for something this big, you're going to need more." "What else can I give him!" She exclaimed. "Do you know what guys fantasize about the most?" Asked Jessica. "No…" Bailey replied. "Multiple girls," answered Janice. "Every single guy in this world dreams about having several different girls in his bed, at once, all pleasing him." "Oh…" "Yes." "So I have to give Cody…and orgy?" "Well said!" Exclaimed Jessica.
"So you have to get several other girls to join you in bed with Cody." "I doubt there are any girls on this ship that would go for that." Stated Bailey. "Weeeeell…" said Jessica, drawing the word out. "Jessica and I…wouldn't have a problem helping a girl out." Continued Janice. "And having twins…that would really help Cody forget his little problems." Finished Jessica, licking her lips.
"The two of you…would have sex with me and Cody?" Asked Bailey, incredulously. "Yes." They stated together. "For me, a girl you barely know?" "Yes." They said again.
"Well…in that case, okay!" She exclaimed. "Good!" Said Jessica. "Okay, honey," said Janice. "We'll leave you alone to think. When you're ready…we'll be there for you." The twins got up off of her bed and quietly exited her room, leaving Bailey alone, with a plan to get her boyfriend to forgive her.
In her single cabin, Emma Tutweiller was lying on her bed, alone. Her many cats wandered around the small room, meowing and purring. She was staring up at her ceiling, lost in thought.
As always, she was upset that she didn't have a man in her life. She looked around at all her cats; each one symbolized a relationship that had gone wrong. And there were a lot of cats.
Emma didn't understand what was wrong with her, what men found unattractive. She thought that she was good looking, with a thin body, medium sized breasts that didn't yet sag from age, and the ass of a twenty year old.
And yet men always left her for someone new. She hadn't felt the touch of a man in five years, and her body had a massive storage of built up sexual tension that couldn't be relieved, no matter how many times she ferociously masturbated. Ms. Tutweiller was desperate; she didn't even care about dating anymore, all she wanted was a man to fuck her. At this point, Emma didn't care who it was, she would gladly accept the attention of any many aboard this god-forsaken boat.
And right at that moment, there was a knock at her door. Emma groaned, but rolled over off of her bed and approached the door. It was a Saturday, and she hadn't yet got dressed for the day, so she grabbed a robe off the back of a chair and put it on overtop of her thin nightie. As she tied the front up, Emma opened the door. It was one of her worst nightmares; Zack Martin. He was the second worst student in her class behind London, and gave her trouble nearly every day.
"What it is, Zack?" She asked, tiredly. "It's a Saturday." "I know, Ms. Tutweiller, but I finished that math homework that was due…I forget when, and wanted to bring it by to you, seeing as you don't have anything else to do on weekends." Emma could tell that Zack wasn't trying to be mean; that he was just speaking what he thought was the truth.
But it hurt just as much, especially since it was true; she had nothing else better to do but grade papers all weekend. She frowned at him.
"Who said I have nothing else to do, huh?" Zack looked a little put-off at this. "Well…you never do anything. I never see you on the deck, and you don't have a boyfriend. Am I wrong?" "Well…" Emma trailed off, remembering again just how sad her life was.
"I…" And just like that, she started crying. Her eye's teared up and her vision blurred, as involuntary sobs came out of her mouth. Zack stood there, stunned. He knew that he gave his teacher a tough time, but he never imagined that it had affected her this much.
He wasn't quite sure what to do, but he instinctively stepped forward and held his arms out. Ms. Tutweiller fell into them, sobbing hysterically. "I-I-I-I'm sor-sorry, Zack." She said, in between sobs. "I-I-I didn't me-me-mean to do this." Zack just stood there, rubbing his teacher's back gently.
"Its okay, Ms. Tutweiller. It's not your fault." "It is though!" She cried. "Men…men just don't like me!" She started crying even harder. "Suuure they do!" He assured her.
"They just…well…I don't know, they don't see how attractive you really are!" Ms. Tutweiller looked up at him, her hair plastered across her face. "Y-y-you think I'm attractive?" "Of course I do! You just wear your hair up in that bun all the time, and guys just don't see how young you really are!" Emma sniffed.
"S-s-so if you were older, you would date me?" Zack forced himself to smile down at her. Half of what he had just said had been a lie, but he wasn't sure telling her the truth would help her. He didn't think she was that bad looking, actually on the better side, but there WAS something about her that just turned guys off of her.
But right now, he wasn't feeling that. In fact, having her body, which was surprisingly tight and light, pressed up against him was giving him the beginnings of an erection. "Of course I would! Any of your students would." She sniffed one more time, and then stopped. "Really?" "Really." Zack looked down at Ms.
Tutweiller, and watched in astonishment as her eye's slowly closed, and her face grew closer to his. As she leaned in, he wondered what she was thinking; he was her student, over fifteen years younger than her, and also her least favorite student.
But that didn't seem to stop her, as her lips pressed up against his. Zack didn't respond for five seconds, five long seconds with his thirty-something year old teacher's soft and supple lips mashed firmly against his own.
His half-erection was full blown now, and he could swear that Ms. Tutweiller could feel it through his jeans and the thin material of her bathrobe. Then his instincts took over, and his teenage hormones began raging. He slid his arms farther around her torso, and tilted his head for the kiss. Ms. Tutweiller pressed her body up closer to Zack's, and reached out behind him without looking to swing the door shut. Zack walked forward, holding his teacher in front of him.
An object halted their way, as Emma's but pressed up against the back of a couch. Zack kissed her fiercely, and Emma pushed up on her toes, sitting on top of the couch. Her legs opened up and wrapped around Zack's waist, causing her bathrobe to slide up her thighs.
Zack's hand fell to Ms. Tutweiller's thigh, sliding up underneath the soft fabric. He felt her short, silky nightie, and slid his hand underneath.
Emma's hands slid up Zach's back and to the back of his head, pulling Zack's head back to her, pulling him over top of her, as she leaned backwards.
Eventually they leaned too far and Ms. Tutweiller fell back onto the couch, Zack following.
To avoid crushing her Zack twisted away, causing him to fall off the couch and nearly squash a cat, landing on his back. As he started to get up off the floor Ms. Tutweiller sat on his waist, and pushed his chest back down with her hands. She bent over and continued kissing him, her long hair falling into his face. Zack brought his hands to the rope around her waist and clumsily untied it, and Ms.
Tutweiller shrugged the bathrobe off, letting it fall over Zack's legs. She sat up, grabbing onto the bottom of her nightie and pulling off, the clingy fabric pulling away and separating from her body, and she threw it away. Zack stared up at her ample bosom, a black bra cupping what he estimated to be around a B cup. His gaze traveled down her flat and taut stomach and he saw a matching pair of black panties, which didn't cover much. Emma arched her back again and brought her lips to his, passionately slipping her tongue inside his mouth and then sliding it back out.
They made out for several minutes, her hips rocking back and forth on Zack's jean covered cock, making Zack ache with pleasure. Finally, unable to take it anymore, Zack reached down to Emma's ass and pulled her off of his hips, undoing his button and zipper and pushing his jeans down, using his feet to get them all the way off. Emma smiled at him lewdly and twisted around, grabbing hold of his boxers and yanking them down after his jeans, uncovering his raging boner.
Emma pivoted around on his body, so that her front faced his feet and her panty-clad ass pointed back at his head. Her hips slid up his body, until her ass was directly above his face, and her legs straddling his head. Ms. Tutweiller lay down on Zack's body, her head directly over his cock.
She placed her hand around the thick base of his dick, angling the shaft directly up, so that the head was right by her mouth. Emma stuck her tongue out and slowly licked up the length of his cock, before getting to the tip and engulfing the head.
Zack groaned in pleasure, and decided to return the favor. He slipped his fingers under the waistband of her panties and slid them down off of her hips, so that they were off of her pussy. But they wouldn't go any farther, as his head was in the way, and her knees were pressed to the ground.
So he simply pulled with all his might, and ripped the band apart, throwing the now-useless panties across the room, where they happened to land on a cat. Zack stared up at his teacher's naked pussy, which had a small patch of pubic hair trimmed into a landing patch above her snatch. He slowly licked around her pussy lips, feeling how tender and sensitive they were.
Ms. Tutweiller shuddered at the touch, her body not used to the touch of another person. Zack slipped his tongue between her labia, and began eating her out, slowly yet passionately. His thumbs played with her clit as he pleasured her, her hips slowly grinding into his face. Ms. Tutweiller moaned loudly, her voice muffled from the cock she had buried deep in her mouth. It had been years since she'd given a blowjob, but the skills were coming back to her quickly.
With one hand she held onto the base of his cock, and with the other she massaged his large ballsack. Her head bobbed up and down, the tip of his dick pressed against the back of her throat more and more each time. She almost bit down on his cock as an orgasm hit her, Zack's skillful ministration to her cunt causing her to climax wonderfully, her body spasming and her cunt clamping up as Zack furiously rubbed her clit. "Ughhhhhhhhaaaaaahhhhhh!" She screamed, the sound coming out as something as a gurgle as she pushed her head down on his cock as far as it would go, her chin pressed into his pubic hair and the head of his cock fully down her throat.
Zack erupted, his thick white sperm shooting out of the tip of his cock, emptying its load down her gullet, as Zack groaned with pleasure, his thumb still massaging her clit. When Zack was finished Emma was still going, her cunt on fire and her body thrashing around on top of his.
After several more seconds her orgasm subsided, her body falling limp on top of his, her lungs gasping for air. Zack breathed in an out slowly, feeling his cock growing limper in Ms.
Tutweiller's hand. It may have been the best blowjob he'd ever had, either because of her skills or just the hotness of the situation. Emma felt Zack's member growing softer in her hand, and growled "Oh no you don't! I just got you, and I'm not finished yet!" She brought her head back down to his cock and began sucking it again, trying to bring it back to life.
Zack wasn't sure if it would work; the last 12 hours had been a little taxing to him. But sure enough, after several moments of sucking him Emma felt his cock regaining its rigidness, growing back to its full length. Ms. Tutweiller swung her leg from next to Zack's head and stood up over him, letting go of his cock at the same time. Zack scrambled to get to his feet and put his arms back around her, as she re-grabbed his cock and began stroking it slowly.
She backed up, pulling on his cock and guiding him to her bed, where she sat down on the edge. Zack stood in front of her as she took his dick into her mouth again and resumed sucking, licking along the length and around the tip. After a few seconds Ms Tutweiller began laying back, letting Zack's cock slip out of her mouth. Zack smiled down at her, and reached down to where her thighs lay on the bed.
He lifted them up and placed his knees where they had been, lowering himself in between her legs. Emma reached down and grabbed his cock, guiding it to the tender spot between her legs. When Zack felt the soft folds of her cunt at the tip of his cock he began pushing in, and her labia parted as his slippery cock forced itself through.
He moaned in pleasure, as her cunt was surprisingly tight for an older woman. Probably because Zack had never seen her with a guy in the time he had known her. Ms. Tutweiller locked her legs around his waist, pulling him in closer. He began pumping his hips back and forth, his cock sawing in and out of her cunt as she moaned and groaned.
"Ohhhhhh!" She screamed, as his cock penetrated and re-penetrated, bringing her closer and closer to her desired orgasm. His slippery fuckstick pummeled her sensitive pussy, sending waves of pleasure through Emma's long-untouched body.
Zack grunted as he moved back and forth, gaining more speed each time he pushed forward. His teacher screamed again, her mouth open in a long, drown-out scream of ecstacy.
"I---I---I'm cuumiiiiing!" She screamed, and Zack felt her juicy cunt contract around his thick cock as she orgasmed, his sensitive cock-tip engulfed in her warm juices. He continued to pump back and forth, as he was a long way away from his own orgasm. As Ms. Tutweiller began to come down from the throes of her climax, she said "You can't cum in me Zack.
I haven't been on birth control for years." Zack nodded as he continued to thrust into her, his fiery fuckstick gaining more and more momentum as he did. There was a crazed look in his teacher's eyes as he grunted on top of her, and as he brought her to another orgasm. Her arms reached up to the back of his head and grabbed on to his head, pulling his ear down to her mouth. "Fuck me in the ass, Zack. Fuck my virgin asshole." She whispered in a low, sexy voice. She pushed him off of her, his slippery cock sliding all the way out of her cunt.
Standing up at the edge of the bed, Emma grabbed Zack by the shoulders and swung him around, pushing him down onto the bed so that he was lying on his back, his cock sticking straight up. She climbed on top of him, positioning her hips overtop of his flagpole. Reaching down to his cock, she brought it up so it was sticking straight up again, and positioned it at the entrance to her ass, as she crouched over his hips.
She began to sit down slowly, the purple tip of Zack's cock slowly entering her virgin asshole, and her head went back in a silent scream of both pain and ecstasy. "Ugghhhh" groaned Zack, his cock being engulfed in one of the tightest holes he'd ever been in. Emma sat down even farther, her tight asshole expanding to take the length and width of Zack's cock. When she had finally sat down all the way, she sat still for a few moments, breathing in and out deeply.
When she was ready, she began slowly sliding up and down Zack's cock, the boy groaning in pleasure as she rose up and down on his slippery appendage. His teacher began bouncing up and down faster, moaning as she sped up.
His hands went up to her tits and he began massaging her mounds and nipples as Emma continued to fuck him. "Ugh ugh ugh" Grunted as she bounced up and down. Zack could feel himself getting closer and closer to his orgasm, as Emma constantly moved up and down, up and down.
"I---I---I'm cumming!" He shouted, as his cock throbbed and released its pent-up supply of cum. Emma could feel Zack's cock shooting up deep inside her ass, and with that never before feeling began having yet another orgasm of her own, her strongest yet.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!" She screamed, their yells mixing together as Emma continued to bounce up and down, keeping their orgasms going as long as possible. When they were both down, Emma collapsed to the side, Zack's shrinking cock slipping out of her sore ass.
They laid there, side by side, for several minutes, both of them breathing heavily and attempting to regain their breath. Zack thought to himself; Is it bad what I just did? First, I cheated on Maya with Bailey, my own brother's girlfriend. Now, I've cheated on Maya once again, with our MILF of a teacher. Should I be feeling sorry about this? Because I don't, and that might not be healthy.
Zack shrugged to himself. It didn't matter. Bailey sat in her room, trying to decide on what to do. She wanted, no, NEEDED to get Cody to forgive her. But she wasn't sure if she was ready to allow him to sleep with several other women, and herself, all at the same time. What if he never wants to have sex with only me again?
It could ruin our relationship completely. Then again, if I don't try anything drastic, our relationship is already ruined. She nodded to herself. It looked as if she was going to arrange an orgy for her boyfriend.
Bailey picked up her cellphone off of her bed, and navigated through her contacts, finding Janice and Jessica. She sent them both texts, telling them that their plan was on, and to meet her in her dorm. There was a knock on Bailey's door several minutes later, and the girl got up to get it. Janice and Jessica stood in the hallway, wearing matching pink bathrobes. Janice held a bag in her hand. She stepped to the side, and motioned for them to come in.
The blonde teenagers walked past her and into her room, sitting down on the edge London's bed simultaneously. Janice set the bag she was holding on the floor. "When is he coming?" Asked Janice. Bailey closed the door, and sat back down on her own bed, facing the twins.
"I haven't texted him yet. I don't know what to say." The twins looked at each other. Then Jessica said "Here, give me your phone." Bailey handed her phone over to the girl, and after a few seconds of typing, Jessica put the phone down. Janice looked Bailey up and down. "Are you really going to wear that to start this off?" She asked, critically.
Bailey looked down at what she was wearing. Fuzzy pajama bottoms and an old, worn out tee-shirt. "That won't get his blood going at all, now will it?" Janice asked.
"No, I suppose not," grinned Bailey, ruefully. "What are you two wearing?" The twins stood up, and untied their bathrobes. They let the garments fall to the side, revealing the clothing underneath. Each twin was wearing a very sheer, see-though, pink babydoll, with matching panties and bra underneath. Bailey knew that those provocative clothing would give Cody a hard-on on sight. As the twins re-tied their robes, Bailey's phone buzzed from the bed, alerting them to a new text message.
"I've got it," said Janice, tossing the bag she had placed on the floor to Bailey. "You take this, and change into it. We thought that it suited you perfectly." Bailey stood up, an began walking to her bathroom, but Janice interrupted her. "You realize that we're going to be seeing you naked in a few minutes anyways, right? Change out here!" Realizing the truth of her statement, Bailey turned back around, and opened the bag.
She pulled out the thin material that was inside, a white "teddy". She undressed quickly, down to her skin, and then slipped the material on. The garment was practically a bra and panties, with a thing line of material attaching them up her middle.
There were frills hanging off of the bra and panties, and white cowboy hat came with it.
The twins were right; it suited her perfectly, she looked like the sexy farmgirl she was. Bailey heard her phone vibrate again, and then Janice said "He'll be here in a few minutes." "How'd you get him to come?" She asked.
"It doesn't matter," replied Janice. "Just know that he's coming, and that he has no idea what's in store for him." Cody walked down the hall, towards his girlfriend's room. He wasn't sure why he was doing this, he really didn't want to talk to her. But something in Bailey's texts made it seem urgent, so here he was, dressed in his sweats and tee-shirt, and knocking on the door of the girl who had just cheated on him with his own twin brother.
The door opened two seconds after he knocked, and the sight before his eyes made him reel back in shock. It wasn't Bailey who had opened her door, it was the twins, Janice and Jessica. There was a flickering light in the background, like what would come from several candles, and the dim light illuminated the girls just enough for Cody to see the scantily clad twins beckoning him in. Almost in shock, Cody walked in between the two girls into the room, and one of them swung the door shut behind him, clicking the lock into place.
Sitting on her bed, reclined back in a sexy pose, was Bailey, illuminated only by the candles that had been set up around the room. As he stood there, the twins came up on either side, and placed their hands on his shoulders and chest, slowly dragging their hands down his body, pressing their own soft and supple bodies up to his. His eyes were glued to Bailey as she stretched seductively, showing off her taut stomach and ample breast, barely concealed in the cowgirl-like shift she was wearing.
The cock in his pants began to grow, first at the sight of his girlfriend but also because of the touch of the twins next to him. Tearing his eyes away from Bailey, he opened his mouth to speak. "Wha—what's going on?" He stammered. "Shhhh," purred the twin on his right. "We're here to make everything all better," added the other one, in a sultry voice.
"Just ask your girlfriend." Cody looked at Bailey, who was standing up off the bed. She strutted towards him, coming to a stop right before him. She touched her palm to his chest, and said "That's right,,just let us all make everything better." Simultaneously, the twins reached down and grabbed Cody's shirt, lifting it up and over his head, tossing it to the side.
Then, they knelt by his sides, pulling his sweatpants down, as Bailey knelt in front of him. The boner in his boxer's was clearly visible, pressing against the thin fabric. Bailey reached out and took hold of his boxers, and slowly pulled them down. Cody's long and thick cock sprung free, and Bailey threw his boxers to the side.
The twin on his right, Janice, he decided, grabbed hold of his cock at the base, stroking up and down the length slowly. From the other side, Jessica reached underneath and cupped his balls, massaging them slowly. Bailey leaned in closer, and grasped his cock near the tip. She stroked him slowly, looking up into his eyes as she did so. Bringing her mouth in closer, she placed her lips around just the head of his cock and pressed them together, enclosing the tip completely.
She swirled her tongue around the very tip a few times, and then began bobbing her head up and down his shaft. She saw Janice stand up out of the corner of her eye, and glanced back upwards, to see Cody and the blonde girl making out fiercely.
She felt a small twinge of jealousy, but it quickly subsided when she realized that there was no way Cody couldn't forgive her after this. No way. So Bailey continued sucking her boyfriend's cock, and was dimly aware that Jessica was licking the side of his shaft at the same time.
She overheard a low moan come from Cody, and knew that he was coming close to cumming. Bailey began taking more of his shaft into her mouth, and Janice knelt back down by her side, kissing the side of his dick. "Ughhhh," groaned Cody. "I'm about to cuum." Bailey sped up her head motion, beginning to gag on the length of his cock. "Don't swallow," whispered Janice in her ear. "We want to give him something that'll have him hard again in no time." Bailey nodded her head as best she could, and continued bobbing her head back and forth.
"Ughhhhh," groaned Cody again. "I'm cummiiing." She felt the first rope of cum hit the back of her throat, as Cody's cock pulsated and releases his fuck juices. She pulled her head back so that only the tip was in her mouth, and she could feel one of the twins at her side jacking him off as he continued to cum. More and more strands of jizz landed in her mouth, but Bailey resisted the urge to swallow.
When Cody's cock was done spewing its potent load, Bailey slowly withdrew her mouth, keeping her head tilted back and her mouth half-opened to keep from spilling any of his sperm. The twins removed their hands from Cody's shrinking cock, and Janice brought her head down below Bailey's. "Do you know what we have in mind now?" Whispered Jessica in her ear.
Bailey nodded, a little bit of cum dripping out of her mouth and dribbling down in cheek. She tipped her face downwards towards Janice's and her open, awaiting mouth. She pursed her lips, and let her mouthful of cum slowly drip down into Janice's awaiting mouth. Cody was practically in shock as he watched his girlfriend give the mouthful of cum she had to one of the twins.
His girlfriend, who had just given him a blowjob while another girl made out with him and the other played with his balls and cock. It was almost too much for him to take. When the twin had received all of the jizz from Bailey's mouth, Bailey sat back on her heels, while the second twin moved closer to the other.
They brought their mouths together, and transferred the sperm to the other twin. Jessica, he thought. Jessica than sat back and gargled the mouthful of cum, before looking straight up at Cody, and visibly swallowing it all. Janice noticed the drop of cum that had leaked from Bailey's mouth, and leaned in close to lick it off. After licking Bailey's jaw, Janice moved her mouth higher, and placed her mouth on Cody's girlfriends.
Bailey looked shocked for a second, but then gave into the kiss, and passionately made out with the blonde twin. Jessica stood up next to Cody, smiled, and guided him over to the bed.
Cody laid down on the middle of the bed, his head resting on the pillow, as he watched his girlfriend make out with another girl. Jessica knelt on the bed between his knees, and began sucking on Cody's cock slowly and gently, nursing it back to life as he watched the two girls go at it. The two girls kneeling on the floor undressed each other quickly, all the while ferociously making out.
Janice pulled Bailey to her feet and then pushed her down onto London's bed, spreading Bailey's thighs, and bringing her face in between them. Cody saw his girlfriend's head go back as Janice began licking her cunt, Bailey involuntarily grabbing the back of the twin's head and pulling it farther into her pussy. Jessica continued sucking Cody's limp cock, licking around the sensitive head and sucking on one of his balls.
Slowly, with the help of the blonde teenager and the sight of the two other teenagers engaged in lesbian sex several feet away, Cody's cock began to regain its hardness. When it was back to its seven-inch length, Jessica stopped sucking it, and climbed up Cody's hips. She pulled off the thin nightie she was wearing, tossing it away. It revelead two perfectly shaped, perky breasts, and a bald, shaven pussy. Before she could grab his cock and guide it to the entrance to her cunt, Cody turned his head to the side and spoke.
"Bailey." His girlfriend looked over at him, and Janice stopped her ministrations to her pussy and also looked up. "Is this what you want?" He wanted to make sure that this was completely fine with her. "Yes," she gasped. "Fuck Jessica. And then you're going to fuck Janice. And then you're going to fuck me." Janice smiled at Cody, and dove back in to eating Bailey out. Smiling down at him, the blonde girl took hold of his cock, and guided it to her pussy as she sat down on him.
The engorged tip of his cock slowly entered the hot tightness of Jessica's wet pussy, as Jessica continued to sit down on him. When the entire length of his cock had disappeared into her warm snatch, the girl began to ride him slowly, up and down. Cody raised his own hips to meet hers every time she came down, and they slowly built up speed.
He placed his feet flat on the bed so that his knees were up in the air so that his hips had room to move, and then began fucking Jessica harder and more fiercely than before. She began gasping and moaning as the heat and friction built up in her cunt, each stab of Cody's cock bring forth more and more waves of pleasure. Cody reached up and took hold of Jessica's arms and with a firm but gentle move shoved her to her side and rolled over top of her, taking the dominant position and sawed his cock in and out of her, as she groaned louder and louder.
From the other bed, Bailey looked away from Janice's head between her thighs and looked over at Cody and Jessica, her boyfriend's large cock disappearing and reappearing from the twin's shaven cunt, Cody's balls swaying back and forth. She realized that she had no reservations, no regrets at the decision she had made to make this happen, as she saw the intense look of pleasure on Cody's face.
Bailey knew that even if she and Cody didn't work out after this she would be happy that she had at least been able to give him this before they were over. Then an intense wave of pleasure washed over Bailey as Janice encircled her clitoris with her tongue and her back arched, her eyes closing as they rolled back in pleasure.
As Cody began to reach his ending point, he realized that he didn't know whether or not Jessica was on birth control. He slowed down his thrusting for a moment and asked her in between short breaths "Are you…on birth control?" he asked, gasping for air. The blonde girl looked up at him, gave him a smile, and said "Yes, I am." Cody nodded and returned to a faster pace, bringing the Jessica to her climax.
"Uggggghhhhhhhh!!" She moaned, as her pussy clamped down on Cody's thrusting cock. With that, Cody was done as well, and his cock released its second load of cum of the night, his seed spilling out and coating the outside of his cock and inside of her pussy with the white liquid.
Cody fell off of Jessica to the side and they laid there for a second, breathing heavily. Then, the twin leaned over, smiled, and whispered "That was fantastic.
Now it's someone else's turn." She gave him a quick kiss, and then bent down to his cock and quickly sucked off the remainder of his cum and gave it a few quick pumps before getting off the bed and walking over to the other. Cody looked over to see who was going to come over next. Bailey looked down at Janice and said "I think it's your turn, now." "No," the twin smiled.
"If I go then he'll have nothing left for you. I think the two of you are ready to be alone." Janice got off the bed and she and Jessica gathered there lingerie, threw on their bathrobes, and exited the room. Cody looked over at Bailey in the silence, and she looked back at him.
Zack left Ms. Tutweiller's room, adjusting his jeans. It had been a surprisingly good hour, especially since it had been completely unexpected. Feeling good about his latest conquest, and also of turning his math homework in, albeit late. He idly wondered if his knew relationship with his teacher would result in higher grades in class. Zack didn't really care. There was something that he knew he needed to do, however. He knew that he had hurt his brother by doing what he had done, and had to make it right.
And first, that included manning up and apologizing. After a few seconds of semi-awkward silence, Bailey spoke. "I really am sorry about what happened, Cody." "I know you are," he responded.
"I also know that you would never have done anything like that on purpose. I was just…so mad, at him, at you…I just couldn't help it." She nodded. "I know…it really is a horrible thing…and again, I'm really sorry." Cody smiled, and motioned for her to come over to him.
She stood up off of the bed and took the few strides over to him, and straddled his hips on the bed, her hair falling to one side over his face. Cody put his hand on her cheek and gently pulled her down to him, kissing her on the lips softly.
When they finally pulled away from each other, Cody gave her a small smile and said "You didn't have to do that you know.' "Do what?" "The whole…orgy thing." "It's okay," Bailey said, smiling.
"It was kindof…fun." Cody raised his eyebrows. She shrugged her shoulders. "It's not something I would be…against doing again." Cody smiled again, and pulled her in for another kiss. They made love then, slow and sweet, taking their time, glad to be okay again. And when they were finished, they merely laid there together, perfectly comfortable with the silence.

About the Star of the North Award
The Star of the North Picture Book Award was established in 2013 under the auspices of the Minnesota Youth Reading Awards. The purpose of the award is to promote quality, engaging picture books and reading for pleasure among school-aged children. The final list of ten nominees is selected by the Star of the North Selection Committee.
Throughout the year, teachers, media specialists, and public librarians are encouraged to present the nominees in appealing and meaningful ways, to read the books aloud, and to develop activities that will connect the literature to the curriculum. In March, students across the state vote on which books they think should win for the individual categories. The book receiving the most votes from children in grades K-2 is the winner.
How the award works:
Each year ten picture book nominees will be announced.
Students or library participants who read or have read to them at least eight of the ten nominees will be eligible to vote.
Votes will be collected from MYRA members from February 25 through March 31. The award winner will be announced each year in April. New nominees will be announced at the same time.
This award is focused on picture books intended for a kindergarten through 2nd grade audience. However, pre-k and older children are also welcome to participate.
Questions about the Star of the North Award can be directed to our SOTN Award Chair at sotn@myrahome.org
Minnesota Youth Reading Awards, Inc. (MYRA)
Our purpose is to administer yearly "read and vote" awards programs, providing nominee titles that offer opportunities for Minnesota youth to see themselves and others in literary works, to make new connections, and to engage and enjoy the world of reading. The Minnesota Youth Reading Awards are 100% volunteer powered.

Q: How to fix Invalid JWT with JHipster Registry [Docker]? I want to build a microservices software with JHipster. I'm running jhipster-registry:v3.2.4 into Docker, i also have a microservice application (create with generator 5.0.1) but i do no generate a gateway application.
I set the profiles in docker-compose.yml with: dev and native
I setted the JWT Secret in Docker Compose file.
I added configurations files into : central-config folder
I setted the jwt for my microservice into all possible *.yml files
but on the registry UI, when i'm trying to access microservices logs or metrics, i got an Exception : Invalid JWT Signature.

A: As you use the native profile, you can use a config file by setting
SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_SERVER_NATIVE_SEARCH_LOCATIONS=file:./config/ in your compose .yml and in a config folder, you add an application.yml file with
jhipster:
    security:
        authentication:
            jwt:
                secret: your secret

A: You must add;
jhipster: security:  authentication:   jwt:    secret:  or jhipster: security:  authentication:   jwt:    base64-secret: (JHipster v5.3.0+) in application.yml or application.properties.
A little reminder. Secret must be longer than 256 bits.

Did you know that...?
"....the dominant share of the bentonite we extract is processed into the form of final products in Slovakia"
"bentonite is an ecological raw material, important and necessary for several branches of industry, environmental protection and human use"
"several hundred jobs are directly linked with the extraction of bentonite directly in the region of Žiar nad Hronom and its surroundings"
"the extraction and use of raw minerals can also be done in an ecologically acceptable and long-term sustainable way"
"REGOS s.r.o., is the only company in Slovakia that mines bentonite on the basis of a complex environmental impact assessment of the mining activities and in conformity with conditions approved in final decision of the Slovak Ministry of Environment"
"We began to assess the impact of bentonite mining on the environment voluntarily, because we are responsible towards nature and the interests of residents of the region"
"the mineral wealth of a country and its sustainable use is in the interest of all citizens of Slovakia and its development"
Bentonite is a clayey mineral that originates by the transformation of volcanic glass and ash in an alkaline, most often an oceanic or lake environment, with the origin of clay-like minerals from the smectite group (mainly montmorillonite, beidellite and nontronite). The first to use the term bentonite was W.C. Knight, in 1887, who named bentonite after the town of Fort Benton in the American state of Montana. Bentonite is a clayey material of earthy structure, usually white, grey up to light-green in colour. Upon freshly cutting it, it has a waxy shine.
In terms of use there are two basic types of natural bentonite
Na bentonite - capable of absorbing a great volume of fluid and creating a viscous thixotropic suspension
Ca bentonite - with worse absorption and swelling, but with notable adsorption properties. With natrification its absorption properties can be significantly increased.
It is these special properties of smectite minerals in bentonite that give it an exceptional standing among other clays in terms of its uses. The swelling of bentonites upon contact with liquids, which can reach up to 12-fold growth of their volume, but also other properties is especially important. Physically and chemically bentonite fixes a whole line of substances and is used for their selection sorption, or separation. Another of its important properties is its viscosity, resulting from its huge internal surface (up to 900 m2/g), given by the large number of interstitial spaces (a large reaction surface) and, of course, by the many crystals in a volume unit. A typical property of bentonite is the high capability for base exchange, i.e. the ability to accept certain cations from a solution and substitute them for free Mg, Ca, or alkali. The significant rheological, sorption and colloidal properties of bentonites, or their combination, predetermines them for broad-spectrum use not only in industry but also in human areas (pharmacy, the food industry, cosmetics), environmental protection, etc.
The oldest and largest deposit of bentonite in Slovakia is in Stará Kremnička, the Jelšový potok (stream) location. Quarrying has been done here since 1974. At present, together with the deposits in Kopernica and Lutila, they form the most significant deposits in all of Slovakia. Smaller deposits are found in Bartošova Lehôtka, Dolná Ves, in Hliník n/Hronom, Zvolenská Slatina, Lieskovec and in eastern Slovakia, e.g. Fintice, Lastovce, Michaľany and the like. All domestic bentonites are practically Ca, or Ca-Mg bentonites and are predominately formed of the mineral montmorillonite. Bentonites are quarried via surface mining.
Bentonite is first of all an ecological natural raw material, which has irreplaceable and broad-spectrum uses in society:
Construction - a building and sealant material,
Protection and stability of corrosion of earth works,
Water constructions - the flushing of water works, sealing of dams,
Environmentalism - natural sealing geotextiles and materials, sealing mats, sorbents of hazardous materials (solids, fluids, gases), liquidation and stabilization of hazardous materials, or fluid and solid forms of contamination in industrial and other accidents. Construction and demolition of waste dumps, removal of environmental burdens and industrial accidents,
Borehole survey - drilling suspension, sealing of boreholes
Purification of wastewater,
Water management and purification of drinking waters,
Purification and filtration of wines, fluids and foods, refining of oils,
Pharmacological - production of human medicaments, powders, rubs and creams,
Cosmetics industry - powders, skin masks, makeup,
Agricultural - sorbent of herbicides and pesticides,
Production of feeds, medicaments and fertilizers in agriculture,
Production of bedding in agricultural production,
Raising of domestic animals - beddings,
Land improvement - soil sorbent for increasing soil fertility,
Casting and metallurgy - manifold uses,
Chemical industry - manifold uses, composites, catalysers, nanotechnology, analytical chemistry
Industrial plastics - manifold uses,
Production of coating materials and paints
Ceramics industry,
Production of cements
Paper-making, wrapping technology,
Textiles industry, etc.
Bentonite is a component of our everyday life and its essential need today.

The Nigerian-born, LA-based artist talks to Jonathan Griffin about heritage, identity and why she chose art over medicine, as part of a special issue of FT Weekend Magazine celebrating women's achievements.
Pushing through the shop-front door of her east Los Angeles studio, laden with bags and 10 minutes late, Njideka Akunyili Crosby apologises that she has not had time to tidy up. She has a lot on her plate. Wearing large tortoise-shell glasses and with a yellow and purple scarf wrapped around her head, despite her apparent fluster she is a graceful figure, especially given that she is eight months pregnant.
It's been a memorable year for the 33-year-old Nigerian-born artist. In June she was awarded the Prix Canson, an international prize for works on paper, and in November she was shortlisted for the 2017 Future Generation Art Prize, worth $100,000.

Further analysis
United States of America v. Hassan
Court United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth District, United States
Case number 742 F.3d 104
Decision title Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh
Decision date 4 February 2014
Categories Conspiracy, Material support to terrorism, Terrorism
Keywords Attempted Travel, conspiracy, First Amendment Rights to free association, Foreign fighters, Terrorism
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh
Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, Ziyad Yaghi, and Hysen Sherifi are three Americans charged with conspiring to engage in various terrorist activities. The district court convicted them of various counts of conspiring to commit acts of terrorism abroad. Sherifi was also convicted of conspiring to kill members of the uniformed services within the United States.
The defendants had performed various overt acts in furtherance of a terrorist conspiracy, including travelling to the Middle East, participating in weapons trainings and creating a weapons arsenal, raising money for violent jihadist efforts, and posting about their extremist beliefs on social media.
On appeal to the Fourth Circuit, the appellants challenged their convictions on constitutional and evidentiary grounds. They first argued that the convictions were based on constitutionally protected speech (First Amendment). They also made various evidentiary challenges, including a challenge to the admissibility of lay and expert witness testimony, as well as social media videos and videos collected from defendant's cell phone demonstrating weapon training. Finally, they challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support their conviction.
The Court dismissed all of the appellant's challenges and upheld the district court's conviction on all of the charges.
On 24 November 2010 the grand jury in eastern North Carolina returned an indictment against the defendants, superseding the prior 22 July 2009 indictment, alleging the offenses relevant to the appeal.
On 13 January 2012:
· Hassan was convicted of conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2339A, to provide material support to terrorists. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for a term of 180 months,
· Yaghi was convicted of conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2339A, to provide material support to terrorists, and conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 956(a), to murder, kidnap, maim, and injure persons in a foreign country. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for a term of 380 months,
· Sherifi was convicted of conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2339A, to provide material support to terrorists, conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 956(a), to murder, kidnap, maim, and injure persons in a foreign country, conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 1117, to kill members of the uniformed services, and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, in contravention of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). He was sentenced to be imprisoned for a term of 540 months.
The defendants appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
On 9 June 2014, Sherifi's petition for writ of certiorari was denied.
On 6 October 2014, Hassan's and Yaghi's petitions for writ of certiorari were denied.
The appellants were intercepted before any violent actions were carried out.
Relevant actions taken by Yaghi include: discussing violent jihad with Daniel Boyd, the leader and main conspirator, several failed attempts to travel to the Middle East to engage in violent jihad, and recruiting Hassan and others to the conspiracy (pp. 79-80).
Relevant actions taken by Sherifi include: discussing violent jihad with Boyd, travelling to Kosovo to be closer to the battlefield, participating in firearm training, assisting Boyd in preparing a weapons arsenal, and raising money to support violent jihad (pp. 82-83).
Relevant actions taken by Hassan include: encouraging Yaghi to travel abroad, training with weapons to prepare for violent jihad, attempting to travel to the Middle East to engage in violent jihad, and posting his desire to further violent causes on social media (pp. 85-86).
The Court considered the expert witness' knowledge, training, and skill in regard to his testimony on the structure of Islamic extremist groups, manner of recruitment, and language used (p. 53).
The Court also considered that lay witness testimony was based on conversations with the defendants (p. 65) and that evidence collected pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ("FISA") was properly applied for and approved (p. 73).
Did the First Amendment preclude the government's evidentiary use of the defendant's speech?
Did the district court err in procedure relating to the admission of evidence?
Was there sufficient evidence to support the defendant's convictions?
Did the district court err in imposing sentencing enhancements and were the sentences unreasonable?
18 U.S. Code, Part 1- Crimes,
18 U.S.C. § 2339A, providing material support to terrorists
18 U.S.C. § 956(a), murdering, kidnaping, maiming, or injuring persons in a foreign country
18 U.S.C. § 924(c), possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence
18 U.S.C. §1117, killing members of the uniformed services
The Constitution of the United States of America
Amendment I.
Federal Rules of Evidence,
106 – Remainder of or Related Writings or Recorded Statements
403 – Excluding Relevant Evidence for Prejudice, Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons
701 – Opinion Testimony by Lay Witness
702 – Testimony by Expert Witness
801 – Definitions That Apply to This Article; Exclusions from Hearsay
901 – Authenticating or Identifying Evidence
902(11) – Evidence That Is Self-Authenticating
The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court and rejected all grounds of appeal.
With respect to the First Amendment challenges, the Court held the conviction did not rest on constitutionally protected modes of speech, but on overt acts in furtherance of a common terrorist scheme (pp. 43-45).
The Court determined that testimony by an expert witness on the meaning of language used with respect to Islamic extremism was both relevant and reliable (p. 53).
The Court rejected all evidentiary challenges, finding that the social media accounts were properly authenticated (p. 60), that lay witness testimony was properly admitted based on the witness' own perceptions (p. 66), and that electronic surveillance was lawfully acquired under FISA where the application demonstrated probable cause that defendant was an agent of a foreign power (p. 73).
The Court determined that there was substantial evidence proving that the defendants believed in violent jihad, and acted in concert with co-conspirators in furtherance of those beliefs, so that a reasonable fact finder could find the defendants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (p. 75).
Finally, the Court found the terrorist enhancements to defendant's sentences appropriate because the defendants engaged in actions to promote jihadist propaganda (pp. 92-103).

Welcome to the National Center on Time & Learning's Classroom Time Analysis Tool (CTAT).
The CTAT tool is a web-based observation tool that helps individual teachers understand how they are using time in their classrooms, and helps schools identify and capture effective time management strategies across classrooms. Schools typically use it as a peer observation tool or to supplement existing school or district classroom walkthrough protocols. The tool is meant for one-on-one use between the observer and the teacher. Observation data will not be used by NCTL or any other entity. All observation information will be cleared once a week on Monday mornings, at 4:30am eastern time.
The CTAT looks at use of classroom time through four broad categories: Teacher-led Time, Student Work Time, Assessment of Student Learning, and Transitions. We recommend that you read and/or print the User's Guide before using the tool to fully understand these categories and subcategories and to learn how the tool works.
The CTAT tool is a timer based observation tool. While observing a teacher, the observer uses the tool to track each different activity that takes place in the classroom. The tool prompts users to choose a category and subcategory for each activity and includes space for the observer to include notes about the activity. The built-in timing device keeps track of the time spent on each activity. At the end of the observation, the observer has an opportunity to amend any category choices and update their notes if necessary. The CTAT tool will then produce a report showing a detailed break-down of the use of time during the observation period. This report should be shared with the teacher soon after the observation as part of a discussion around teacher use of time in the classroom.
Again, the data is meant for one-on-one discussion between the observer and the teacher. It will not be used by NCTL or any other organization. Data will be cleared weekly.


Oscar-winning actor Ellen Burstyn is about to land in Melbourne to start rehearsals for a new production of 33 Variations, in which she'll star alongside a cast of leading Australian actors, including Lisa McCune, William McInnes, Toby Truslove, Helen Morse and Francis Greenslade.
But before she gets her theatre on – and she's a stellar theatre actor, having won a Tony Award – we asked her to look back through her film and TV career and share some key memories from her decades on screen.
"I came in to audition for the part of Genevieve. After I read for that, I told them that I would like to play Lois, and so [director Peter Bogdanovich] had me read that part. Then he had me read the part of Ruth and said, 'Well we know you're in the movie. Now we just have to figure out which part.'"
"This is one of my favourite movies. The critics destroyed it when it was released. Twenty or maybe 25 years later, they started writing, 'Where did this film come from? This is a great movie. This needs to be seen.' Now it's considered a classic. It's some of Bruce Dern and Jack Nicholson's best work, and one of Bob Rafelson's best films."
"I just saw The Exorcist again at a 45th anniversary screening at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and I must say the picture really holds up. It's not dated at all. I think it's the only film of mine that's in the Library of Congress – and deservedly so. It's a classic."
"This probably has more of me in it than any film that I've done. I was a single mother at the time and a lot of my relationship with my son is reflected in the film. Marty Scorsese was an unknown director when I chose him to direct the film (after asking The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola for a recommendation), and it was probably one of the best choices I've ever made. He certainly turned into a master filmmaker."
"This is the only film that I've ever made where I created the role on the stage first, and where I learned specifically the difference between stage technique and film technique. In the stage production, I was working with Charles Grodin, and in the film, Alan Alda – two divine actors that I loved equally."
"This film is dear to my heart. I said a lot of things in that film that were important to me to be said about life and death and healing, both spiritually and physically. It didn't get proper distribution or publicity when it was released, but it's held on and many people tell me that it's their favourite film. Especially people in the healing arts – doctors, nurses, chiropractors, massage therapists and acupuncturists."
"The best part of this film for me was working with Anne Bancroft (The Graduate). It's the only time we got to work together. And there was a woman director [Australian director Jocelyn Moorhouse], a rare thing at that time. It's getting to be not so rare, thank goodness."
"This is the most difficult film of all of them because of the weight changes and the prosthetics, to say nothing of all of the acting challenges. It took me an hour and half to get out of prosthetics at the end of shooting every day. But it was so wonderful to work with Darren Aronofsky, who I love. The film has had an enormous impact. I hear about it from strangers all over the world. It was unfortunate that it got a rating that made it difficult for young people to see it. I know parents who rented the film and brought it home for their kids, who weren't allowed to watch it in the theatres, because it has a strong anti-drug message. It's an important and masterful film. I was so happy when Darren asked me to be in another one of his films – The Fountain. He's an unusual and brilliant filmmaker. And what a joy to work with Hugh Jackman."
"I was only in this film a short time but it was thrilling to work with Christopher Nolan, who is such an imaginative artist. I'd love to work with him again, but next time, I want to be in outer space!"
"It's so much fun to play a character like this – cold and crazy – and to be directed by Robin Wright. It's the first time I've played someone's mother and been directed by them at the same time!"
33 Variations is at the Comedy Theatre from March 7.

Q: Python: Replacing a String in a YAML file I have this example YAML file:
---
test:
  name: "Tom"
  age: "5"
  version: "1.0"

How can I replace this YAML file to this:

test:
  name: "Max"
  age: "10"
  version: "2.2"

This is the way I open the file:
import yaml

with open("config.yml", 'r') as stream:
        print(yaml.load(stream))

But I have no idea, how to edit the YAML file now.

A: Given the fact that you use PyYaml, the appropriate way to do this is like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import yaml

with open("testfile.yaml", 'r') as stream:
    try:
        loaded = yaml.load(stream)
    except yaml.YAMLError as exc:
        print(exc)

# Modify the fields from the dict
loaded['test']['name'] = "Max"
loaded['test']['age'] = "10"
loaded['test']['version'] = "2.2"

# Save it again
with open("modified.yaml", 'w') as stream:
    try:
        yaml.dump(loaded, stream, default_flow_style=False)
    except yaml.YAMLError as exc:
        print(exc)

So you just load the yaml into a dict called loaded, you modify the values you need then you save it (overwriting the original file or not, your call). For a nested input you'd have a nested dict you'd have to modify. The default_flow_style=False parameter is necessary to produce the format you want (flow style), otherwise for nested collections it produces block style:
A: a
B: {C: c, D: d, E: e}

Cheers!
Later edit:
As Anthon pointed out, my answer has some flaws.

*

*It's better to use safe_load instead of load since the later is potentially dangerous.

*The output needs an directive end indicator (those three dashes at the beginning). To append them, we use explicit_start=True in the dump method (that should actually be safe_dump).

*Use maybe ruamel.yaml instead of yaml, if you want to generate a better output (although they are semantically the same)
See Anthon's answer for a more detailed information, since he's the author of the package.

A: If you read through the PyYAML documentation, you will see that it
tells you that using the load() function is potentially dangerous,
so the first thing to do (since you, and almost everybody else don't
need it), is not using that, but using safe_load() instead.
You should also change your input file to config.yaml, the
recommended extension for YAML files has been .yaml since at 2006.
Knowing that, the way to change a config.yaml file using PyYAML:
import yaml

with open('config.yaml') as stream:
   data = yaml.safe_load(stream)

test = data['test']
test.update(dict(name="Tom", age="10", version="2.2"))

with open('output.yaml', 'wb') as stream:
   yaml.safe_dump(data, stream, default_flow_style=False,
                  explicit_start=True, allow_unicode=True, encoding='utf-8')

This will get you an output.yaml that looks like:
---
test:
  age: '10'
  name: Tom
  version: '2.2'

The default_flow_style parameter is necessary to not get a JSON like
structure for your leaf node mapping. The explicit_start to get the
leading diretives end indicator (---), and I recommend to always use
allow_unicode=True, encoding='utf-8' (and open the file as binary)
in order not to run into surprises or problems when you change name
to Björk Guðmundsdóttir.
Now as you will notice, this doesn't generate the output that you want
(although semantically the same):

*

*single quotes instead of double quotes around the strings that could be interpreted as numbers

*no double quotes around Tom

*sorting of the keys of your mapping

If you had any comments in the YAML file, these would have been lost.
The better way to update YAML files is using ruamel.yaml
(disclaimer: I am the author of that package), which has some more
sany defaults than PyYAML, handles YAML 1.2 and doesn't drop comments
(if you would have them in your file):
import ruamel.yaml

yaml = ruamel.yaml.YAML()
yaml.preserve_quotes = True
yaml.explicit_start = True

with open('config.yaml') as stream:
   data = yaml.load(stream)

test = data['test']
test.update(dict(name="Tom", age="10", version="2.2"))

with open('output.yaml', 'wb') as stream:
    yaml.dump(data, stream)

with that your output file will be:
---
test:
  name: "Tom"
  age: "10"
  version: "2.2"

which is exactly what you wanted.

My tenor had learned some Icelandis folk songs which brought the house down and we were treated to standing ovations which dangerously swelled, our heads enormously.!!!!!...On one of our free days we were taken to see the Blue Lagoonwhere water from Geothermal springs creates a small lake. The tour and concerts were great and I gather we will be back in 2014.

I leave Southampton on the 16th of September and return on the 8th of October and leave for the States on October13th,so you can see time is very short in between. Weather very nice with just a hint of Autumn's breath in the air.

Yikes - I wrote this hours ago and forgot to post it. I suppose it's still fine; it's time for a major catch-up elsewhere post.
On Friday, at PP I talked veepstakes basics again -- why it doesn't matter, why it does matter -- noting that Rick Perry was exactly right about it. Also, at Greg's place, I reviewed some of the presidential predictor models that I tend to like to see what they say about 2012.
Today at PP I was on the sequester, and how it works by forcing Republicans to actually make real choices. Yesterday's PP post was about the politics of vagueness: I argued that Romney's lack of policy detail is all about how he was nominated.
And over the weekend, I had a new column over at Salon talking about another aspect of the lack of policy detail from Republican politicians: that their constituents are demanding attitude, not policy.

I noticed a media boomlet for Christie on Tuesday--since in Republican politics particularly there is usually an invisible hand pulling the puppet strings, I wonder what this is about. Wishful thinking? Desperation? Or an early clue to the new direction?
From my intuitive perspective I agree that the v.p. pick matters mostly in what it says about the presidential candidate. So last time it helped Obama look like he had solid judgment, and eventually McCain, not so much.
Interesting take on why (else) the Romney campaign lacks substance. I assumed it was part of his strategy to spend the annual budget of a small state to toxify Obama and be the fill in the blanks alternative. For whatever reasons, at this point it's getting more than a little alarming, and frightening.
Drew August 8, 2012 at 2:44 AM
Regarding your PP piece on the sequester: Isn't the whole idea behind the sequester to make it basically impossible to go with your third option of not caring about the deficit. I mean isn't the only way for that to occur for both sides to reach a compromise where they say basically "Nevermind that whole deficit reduction thing that we nearly caused a default over. Let's just go back to high deficits and no long-term plan to curb them." That just seems like the least acceptable option to Tea Partiers and their representatives in the House.
I mean I really have no idea what they'll end up doing, but killing the sequester, maintaining current levels of spending/revenue, and kicking the can down the road with a debt ceiling increase seems the least likely path.
Jonathan Bernstein August 8, 2012 at 8:52 AM
I guess we disagree; I think it's quite likely that when push comes to shove Tea Partiers will prefer high deficits to either raising taxes or slashing spending on stuff they like, and Dems will have sufficient leverage to prevent cuts in only stuff that Dems like. But as you say, we'll see how it plays out.
I think you are quite wrong about policy vs attitude.
Consider your take on Cruz vs Dewhurst; that the real difference is that Dewhurst will make compromises with Democrats, but Cruz won't. That is a policy difference. And it's likely to produce a large difference in policy outcomes, which is after all what matters. Suppose you take the view (for example) that the most important thing is holding the line against Democrat tax rises. Cruz and Dewhurst both agree that's important. But if you vote for Dewhurst, chances are that when push comes to shove he'll vote for the tax rises anyway in exchange for some pork, and then explain why it was such a hard decision, blah blah blah. Cruz, however, will hold the line. That matters.
The question of whether the benefits of compromise are worth the costs is indisputably one of policy. Moreover, I think it's pretty obvious that compromising with the current Democratic party has been proven to be a fool's game, and that any politician willing to do so is essentially proving that their professed conservative beliefs are just for show.
Oh, I think it can have substantive effects, although not always in the direction you suggest (sometimes, refusing to compromise just means you don't get your half a loaf).
Of course, refusing to compromise doesn't necessarily result in victory.
But the whole point is that long and bitter experience shows that compromising with the Democrats doesn't get you half a loaf. It gets payoffs to individual politicians and/or interest groups, which end up being orthogonal or even hostile to conservative principles. If the Democrats pass tax rises with the support of some Republicans, it won't be because they agreed to abolish the FDA/voucherize education/repeal Obamacare/whatever as part of the deal. Ridiculous! It will be because they agreed that some of the tax rises should be spent on pork for the individual politicians they managed to peel off. In many ways that is worse than no compromise and a straight defeat.
The most egregious examples of this, of course, were TARP and ARRA - which is what gave birth to the Tea Party, and the Republican critique that you term "attitude."
Matt Jarvis August 8, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Step away from tax cuts, though, and get into other policy areas. What you see is things like "we can't accept compromise with Dems on health care or climate change." The funny thing is that the positions that can't be compromised with are the GOP's positions just the year before! Obamacare was Romneycare (and touted by many conservatives back then; heck, McCain proposed the individual mandate in 2008!) Cap and trade was the Republican solution to climate change...before it was pushed by Democrats.
Now, it could be that these policies (and others) were simple fig leafs, not actual preferences of the GOP, just offers made to look like they were serious, when the party's real position was "do nothing at all" on those (and other) issues. Or, it could be that the GOP is fairly bereft of actual policy ideas beyond the basics of no taxes and social conservativism, and thus "compromise" with Dems is the inevitable result of actually trying to deal with problems that aren't taxes, abortion, or gay people.
I do not know the precise strategy that was aimed at by the politicians who put forward those proposals, but surely you realise that neither cap-and-trade nor the individual mandate were ever popular among Republican voters. You are making an unfortunate elision between Republican voters/activists and senior politicians.
You are quite correct that the GOP do not have policy ideas in the sense that Democrats use the term - meaning new and innovative forms of federal interference and tinkering. However, Republicans are broadly associated with plenty of policy ideas, that have nothing to do with taxes, abortion or gays, eg:
- large reductions in regulation, particularly in pharma and the environment
- school vouchers
- cutting welfare spending
- tort reform
- right to work
- smaller federal government
- rules not discretion in monetary policy
What all of these have in common is that they involve the government stepping back from its overweening role and returning freedom and responsibility to ordinary people. When you characterise this as "do nothing at all," I am afraid you make dialogue very difficult.
While my description was glib, I don't think "doing nothing" is all that inaccurate for 4 of those items (possibly 6). Reductions in regulation, cutting welfare spending, right to work, and smaller government all involve less government than we presently have in those areas. While hyperbolic, the description isn't off. And that's fine; conservatives can want less government and liberals more.
However, what JB was arguing and what I'm concurring with is that the modern GOP is adopting a stance and behavior that seems fundamentally incompatible with democracy. "My way or the highway" doesn't work in a democracy.
Now, conservatives are right to observe that the deck is somewhat stacked against them, just by the very nature of what they want. Liberals want SOMETHING, so if you want nothing, half-a-loaf is still a loss, and a series of half-loafs is still moving policy in a liberal direction. On the other hand, our system is set up to strongly favor the status quo, which is a significant conservative advantage. Granted, it might not look like that after a period of liberal policymaking (such as 1933-1975ish), but the liberal gains took herculean efforts, and (as the liberal desire to go back to the well on health care for the last 40+ years shows) liberals did not get everything they wanted either.
But, from this side of the aisle, "disingenuous" is the kindest term that can be applied to the GOP on many issues. On issues on which people are clearly unsatisfied with the status quo (health care being an obvious example, as would be the economy), both parties have a strong incentive to propose plans for how they would address the issue. From the cheap seats, it seems like the Dems propose policies they could live with, whereas the GOP proposes something for the sake of having a proposal. Health care. Cap and trade. "Repeal and Replace." Balanced Budget Amendments. "No matter what the whip count is, we're calling for a vote" (Bush quote on having the UN vote on 1442 in 2003) Recent history seems littered with the discarded promises made by the GOP.
It is in the nature of politics for promises to be made and be broken. Obama has broken a number in the "war on terror" that have infuriated liberals. But, it seems like when the Dems have an unpopular position (say, gun control or affirmative action), they choose to remain silent on it and not to actually do anything. The let sleeping dogs lie. Whereas, when the GOP position is unpopular (health care, climate change), they propose a fake policy that they don't want, then refuse the outstretched hand that offers that policy back to them.
reflectionephemeral August 8, 2012 at 8:40 AM
There's a great David Frum quote about the GOP's privileging of attitude over engagement with real life:
"A left-wing friend of mine jokes that conservatives are "the party of affect": meaning that conservatives tend to care much more how a politician speaks than what a candidate says. Christie almost perfectly exemplifies this rule. If he were a soft-spoken, conciliatory Northeastern budget-balancer, he'd be dismissed as a Bill Weld/Mike Castle RINO. But instead, he's an-in-your-face confrontationalist. So he can favor handgun control and still be the Coulter choice for president. Just so long as he's rude about it."
That's really good. Wish I had included it.
longwalkdownlyndale August 8, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Great point on how the right is focusing more on attitude than policy these days. It reminds me a lot of the new left in the 60's and 70's and how they approached politics. For example at the 1972 convention feminist and gay rights activists demanded platform votes on their planks during prime time television. McGovern and other Democrats wanted to moderate their image for the American electorate and so McGovern had his floor whips work to defeat the planks and this outraged many activists, some of who then went on to denounce him to the press and some who event then began waving signs that said things like "don't vote in 72". Despite getting the most liberal nominee of the 20th Century the nomination it still wasn't enough and some people hated him because of his attitude. Richard J. Daley was one of the most hated American politicians of the anti-war movement even thought Daley actually opposed the war in Vietnam in private as early as 1967 and even told LBJ to get out, as he put it "When you're dealt a losing hand in poker, you throw in your cards." But Daley's age, image, views, method of politics and general aura of old guard politics made him a big target of the New Left even before the convention violence in 1968. Indeed if you look at the way a lot of the new left worked a lot of stress was put on attitude over policy positions, hence electing Stokey Carmichael over John Lewis to head up SNCC in 1966.
Just look at the failure of the so called grand bargain. The GOP had the chance to dramatically cut spending in exchange for much smaller revenue increases with damaging Obama's political standing to boot (look at the approval numbers from the summer and fall of 2011). They refused because Obama agreed to the lopsided deal they proposed. I bet if Obama proposed to end the FDA in his 2nd inaugural the GOP would come out lock step opposed. This is what focusing on attitude gets you.


The "Ready, Set, Grow!" (RSG) program is a child care accreditation program run by the University of Memphis. The RSG program evaluates programs using standards set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
The program promotes positive relationships among all children and adults to encourage each child's sense of individual worth and belonging as part of a community and to foster each child's ability to contribute as a responsible community member.
The program implements a curriculum that is consistent with its goals for children and promotes learning and development in each of the following areas: social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive.
The program uses developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate and effective teaching approaches that enhance each child's learning and development in the context of the program's curriculum goals.
The program is informed by ongoing systematic, formal, and informal assessment approaches to provide information on children's learning and development. These assessments occur within the context of reciprocal communications with families and with sensitivity to the cultural contexts in which children develop. Assessment results are used to benefit children by informing sound decisions about children, teaching, and program improvement.
The program promotes the nutrition and health of children and protects children and staff from illness and injury.
The program employs and supports a teaching staff that has the educational qualifications, knowledge, and professional commitment necessary to promote children's learning and development and to support families' diverse needs and interests.
The program establishes and maintains collaborative relationships with each child's family to foster children's development in all settings. These relationships are sensitive to family composition, language, and culture.
The program establishes relationships with and uses the resources of the children's communities to support the achievement of program goals.
The program has a safe and healthful environment that provides appropriate and well-maintained indoor and outdoor physical environments.
The program effectively implements policies, procedures, and systems that support stable staff and strong personnel, fiscal, and program management so all children, families, and staff have high quality experiences.
In addition to evaluating the child care program, directors of each program must have at least nine college credits in leadership and management of early childhood education. RSG helps directors enroll in the necessary courses at the University of Memphis. Directors can pay for it themselves, have their employer pay or apply for tuition assistance through the Tennessee Early Childhood Training Alliance (TECTA). In exchange for tuition assistance (75% - 80%), recipients must attend a no-cost orientation for thirty hours. Upon completion of the accreditation process, directors mentor other directors going through the accreditation process. Currently, there are 30 centers in Memphis that are NAEYC accredited.

Trivia Trap is an American game show produced by Mark Goodson Productions. It was created by producer Goodson and originally ran from October 8, 1984 to April 5, 1985 on ABC. The game featured two teams of three contestants each competing against each other to answer trivia questions in various formats. Bob Eubanks was the host, and Gene Wood announced during the first two weeks. Charlie O'Donnell announced during the third week and was replaced by Bob Hilton for the remainder of the series.

Gameplay
Two teams of three contestantsthe Juniors, who wore blue sweaters and were under 30 years of age; and the Seniors, who wore red sweaters and who were over the age of 30answered trivia questions to reach a goal of $1,000. The members of the championship team then competed individually to win or share a top prize of $10,000.

First format
Two sets of four answers each were displayed. The team in control chose one set and was asked a question, and each member in turn attempted to eliminate one wrong answer. Their turn ended when either all three wrong answers or the correct answer had been chosen. The team received $50 for eliminating one wrong answer, $100 for two, or $300 for all three. A new set of answers was then displayed to replace the ones that had been used, and the other team then played.

Two rounds were played in this manner; each team had one turn per round, with the seniors always choosing first. At the end of the second round, the host asked a question concerning the last unused set of answers for viewers to play along; the correct answer was revealed at the start of the Trivia Race.

This format remained in place until December 14, 1984. Goodson reworked the format after a focus group from the American Film Institute indicated that eliminating wrong answers was a format flaw.

Second format
The reworked format began with the host asking a trivia question to the home audience, then revealing its answer after both teams had been introduced.

Fact or Fiction?
The first round consisted entirely of true/false questions.

The previous day's champions selected one of two question packets, and each team member was asked one question worth $25. After all three members had answered, the challengers played the other packet.

Two sets of questions were played, with the challengers given first choice for the second set.

The Trivia Trap Round
The team in the lead (or the champions, in case of a tie) played first and had a choice of two categories. After the category was chosen, the host asked a question and four answers were shown. One contestant answered, and each of the other two had to agree or disagree. The correct answer awarded $200 if all three agreed, $100 if one contestant disagreed, or $50 if two disagreed. If the original answer was incorrect and if any contestants had disagreed with it, they had a chance to choose the correct one in the same manner described above and win the appropriate amount. Two pairs of categories were played, one category per team in each pair.

$1,000 Trivia Race
Control of this round began with the team in the lead. If the score was tied, the champions (or the winners of a coin toss, if both teams were new) started the round. The team in control chose one of three categories, and each member had one chance to answer a question asked by the host. The correct answer awarded $100 and allowed them to keep control, but if all three members missed it, control passed to the opposing team. The chosen category was then discarded and replaced in either case. When a team either answered a question correctly or gained control due to a miss by their opponents, the member after the one who had last given an answer chose the next category and had first chance to respond.

The first team to accumulate $1,000 or more won the game and advanced to the $10,000 Trivia Ladder bonus round. Except for a brief period in February 1985, the question value doubled to $200 if neither team had reached this goal after the tenth question. Both teams kept their accumulated money and divided it evenly among all three members.

$10,000 Trivia Ladder
The three members of the winning team were assigned to positions 1, 2, and 3 in descending order of their performance in the Trivia Race. The #1 contestant was shown a set of four answers and had to decide whether to play or pass to the #2 contestant, who in turn could either play or pass; a second pass forced the #3 contestant to play by default. The host then asked a question, and the contestant in control chose one answer. A correct response awarded $1,000 to that individual contestant and allowed him/her to take part in the final $10,000 question, while a miss eliminated him/her from the round.

Three questions were played in this manner, with the second question initially offered to the higher-ranked contestant who had not answered the first one and the third question given to the last remaining contestant with no option to pass.

Any team members who answered correctly were shown a fourth set of answers and asked one more question. If two or more members took part, each one secretly chose an answer by pressing a button at his/her desk; if only one was playing, he/she would simply state an answer choice aloud. Team members who answered correctly won equal shares of the day's $10,000 grand prize. If no one answered their individual question correctly, the final question was not played.

Any team that played the Trivia Ladder five times retired undefeated.

Broadcast history
Trivia Trap premiered on October 8, 1984 in ABC's 11:00 AM timeslot, taking over the time period for a house of reruns (like Benson, celebrity Family Feud specials, etc.). That time was home to popular game shows The Price Is Right on CBS and Wheel of Fortune on NBC and struggled as a result. ABC canceled Trivia Trap after six months and 128 episodes; the show's final episode aired on April 5, 1985. The following Monday, All-Star Blitz took over the show's timeslot.  Game Show Network has aired the show several times on the network.  Buzzr aired the first two episodes as part of the "Lost and Found" marathon in September 2017, and the show continued to air on Buzzr until April 2018.

Trivia Trap was the final Mark Goodson-produced game show to have an original format. From then until the acquisition of Goodson's company by the predecessors of FremantleMedia, all of the shows produced by Mark Goodson Productions were revivals of previous series.

Joey Fatone of 'N Sync photographed in 2001.
Given the slow but steady decline in album sales over the years, it seemed that *NSYNC's first-week album sales record for No Strings Attached might stand for a lifetime. When the boy band's second studio album debuted in 2000, it moved 2,416,000 for the week ending March 26 -- a total that stood for 15 years.
And then… Adele. The U.K. soul singer's third album 25 -- the follow-up to her blockbuster 21 -- is already set up to be one of the biggest albums ever -- and it's not even been out a week.
In slightly more than three days, Adele's 25 surpassed No Strings Attached by moving 2,433,000 in pure album sales, as confirmed by Nielsen Music earlier today (Nov. 24).
Adele is presumably happy about the runaway success of her latest, but what does *NSYNC think about the broken record? Billboard reached out to the now scattered members of the boy band for their thoughts. Here's Joey Fatone's take on the record he once set.
"Records are always meant to be broken, but with technology and current music business model, I thought this one would be tough to beat," Fatone tells Billboard. "In all honesty, Adele is the truth -- kinda excited a rare talent like hers is in the same breath as our group. I'm a huge fan....I even bought the damn album."


In a charity event featuring a great dinner benefitting a great cause, husband and wife team Yoshi and Nobuko Katsumara of Yoshi's Café will host a fundraiser for the earthquake and tsunami victims of their native Japan at their Lakeview restaurant Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m.
Calling the event "return. rebuild. reconnect.," the culinary duo is planning a spectacular, four-course dinner where all money raised will be matched by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Chicago and immediately contributed to the Red Cross of Japan.
Accompanied by a glass or two of wine or sake, the Japanese-influenced menu includes a Kaiseki-style appetizer of duck liver mousse pate, fresh asparagus wrapped in wagyu beef, sushi and shrimp cocktail. The main course features a sumptuous grilled Loup De Mer snapper served on a bed of sauteed brussel sprouts and grapefruit segments; grilled prime Allen Brothers sirloin steak with red wine mushroom sauce; a vegetarian Japanese bento dinner, all followed by a lemon custard cheese cake with chocolate ganache for dessert.
Guests at the event will also be entertained with live music, a classical Japanese dance performance by Fujima Ryu of Chicago, a brief welcome by the Katsumuras and a silent auction. The dinner is generously co-sponsored by the law firm Masuda Funai.
Donation tickets for the fundraiser are $125 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling Yoshi's Café at 773-248-6160. Yoshi's Café is located at 3257 N. Halsted St.
