Portlanders, who receive their drinking water from the Bull Run watershed, are facing rate increases to offset declining demand. But the Portland Water Bureau also hopes to fix up the Little Bear Creek House at the watershed, next to the Bear Creek House where this photo was taken in 2006. The larger house has received renovations and is used for tours.
It's a strange concept. But in Portland, lower consumption is having an unsettling consequence on water and sewer bills: higher rates.
is in decline. But because a large chunk of utility costs are fixed, city officials say they must raise rates to make up for the water customers aren't buying to green the grass or flush the toilet.
So Portland, which already has among the highest water/sewer bills in the country, is set to ask customers to pony up more.
, according to budget requests from the Portland Water Bureau and the Bureau of Environmental Services. Final numbers won't be set until May and they'll face plenty of scrutiny before then.
By no means is declining consumption the driving force behind the proposed hikes. Residents have reservoir projects and sewer repairs to thank for that. But consumption does carry a noticeable impact.
For water rates, about one-fifth of the proposed increase is directly tied to lower use. On the sewer side, which uses water as a proxy for volume, not quite one-tenth of the proposed hike is tied to consumption.
"I don't think the average person has any understanding of that," said Dave Hasson, who retired in 2012 as the Water Bureau's finance director. "'Gosh, I'm going to use less and I'm going to have to pay more? How can that be?' Because that isn't the way it is when you go to the store and buy a jar of pickles."
Portland's utility bureaus rely on ratepayer funding, giving them a luxury that agencies dependent on property taxes can't imagine. While other bureaus look at projected revenues and then make spending decisions, the utility bureaus establish costs and then set rates to make ends meet.
In water, costs for meter readers, inspectors, billing and maintenance crews aren't tied to consumption, said David Shaff, the bureau administrator. About 95 percent of operating costs are fixed.
"Every bit of work that we do will continue," Shaff said, no matter how much water is consumed.
As recently as July 2010, the Water Bureau projected increasing demand as part of its 240-page management plan. But officials now say they relied on old data and factored in more wholesale agreements with suburbs, which buy water from Portland in bulk.
Now officials acknowledge declining use. Water use by residents and businesses fell from 28.6 million CCFs (one CCF equal 100 cubic feet, or 748 gallons) in fiscal 2007 to 25.2 million in fiscal 2012 -- a 12 percent drop.
Officials credit several factors: conscientious consumers, mild weather and high-efficiency washing machines, dishwashers, shower heads and toilets. And they expect further declines. Cecelia Huynh, the bureau's new finance director, said the city will need to raise rates by 1.5 percent in each of the next two years to make up for less consumption. At the Bureau of Environmental Services, the declines will require an increase of about half a percent in fiscal 2013, said James Hagerman, the bureau's finance director.
Is charging customers more for less a good business model? Shaff said the city encourages conservation but gives customers as much water as they want.
"I'm not going to tell you that you should use more water. Why would I do that?" he said. "I'm going to tell you we have as much water as you need."
Kent Craford, who directs the Portland Water Users Coalition that includes big water users such as Widmer Brothers Brewing and Siltronic, said he recognizes that fixed costs put utilities in a bind if consumption drops.
But Craford, a loud critic of utility spending, said the Water Bureau has a "bloated budget" and officials should cut operating expenses.
David Shaff pork that we don't need," said Craford, referring to the former commissioner who oversaw the bureau 2005-12.
Hales began pressing utilities for leaner budgets before his swearing-in. But when he asked in December about a rate freeze, bureau directors warned of disaster.
On the sewer side, Director Dean Marriott wrote in an email to Hales' chief of staff that his bureau could face a "$20 million budget gap" and the loss of 200 jobs if rates didn't increase. Shaff wrote that holding the line could mean "whole program cuts" or cutting the equivalent of 133jobs.
Both bureaus offered options, including Environmental Services listing tree plantings and the Water Bureau looking at customer service phone operators. But both submitted proposed rate hikes larger than last year's.
Hales' spokesman, Dana Haynes, emphasized that the City Council has yet to weigh in.
"The bureau can ask for a pony," he said. "The conversation has yet to happen."
. But Shaff cut the jobs two years ago because, he said, the bureau didn't have the money.
"We wanted to be upfront about it, and say, 'This is what we wanted to do,'" Shaff said of the renewed request. "If the council says nope and doesn't want to do it, we won't."

Ah-CHOO! 7 Tickling Facts About Sneezing
By Tanya Lewis 18 April 2014
What is a sneeze
(Image credit: Andrew Davidhazy/RIT)
Everyone knows the feeling: it begins with that insidious tickle in the back of your nose, then comes the gasping intake of breath and the final, cathartic blast: a sneeze. Whether it's sickness, allergies or even just bright light, many things can trigger these violent expulsions of mucus and saliva. But why do humans and other animals sneeze? How far and fast do sneezes travel, and why do they sometimes come in sets? Here are answers to the questions you're itching to know about sneezing.
Why do we sneeze?

Sneezing is one of the body's natural defense mechanisms for expelling foreign invaders and protecting the lungs and other organs from contamination. The medical term for sneezing is "sternutation."
What causes a sneeze?

Many things can trigger sneezes, including common colds, allergens (such as pollen or pet dander), physical irritants (such as smoke or pollution), environmental particles (dust, mildew and mold), cold air or bright sunlight. Sneezes begin when respiratory epithelium, which is the layer of cells that line the nose, becomes irritated and triggers the ending of the trigeminal cranial nerve, which then tells the brain to initiate the sneeze reflex.
How fast/far do sneezes travel?

Sneezes expel air from the body at speeds of up to 93 mph (150 kilometers per hour), studies have shown. And researchers have found that sneezes may travel much farther than previously thought. High-speed video of a sneeze shows that the mucous spray can travel between five and 200 times farther by traveling as droplets in an invisible gas cloud than they would if they traveled as individual droplets.
Why do we close our eyes while sneezing?
The sneeze reflex triggers the body to contract muscles all over, from the eyelids to the sphincter. Why this occurs is a mystery, however. It could be because of how the nervous system is wired. One possibility is that the body associates protecting the nasal passages with protecting the eyes. In fact, 1 in 4 people sneeze in bright sunlight, known as the photic sneeze reflex, or by the cleverly contrived name, autosomal dominant compelling helio-opthalmic outburst, or ACHOO, syndrome.
Can sneezing make you have an orgasm (or vice versa)?
(Image credit: Dreamstime.com)
Some people have compared the act of sneezing to an orgasm. While the two phenomena have some similarities, the comparison is mostly anecdotal. However, there have been reports of men and women who sneeze when they're sexually aroused, possibly because of crossed up wiring in the autonomic nervous system, researchers say. There does seem to be a connection — both the nose and the genitals contain erectile tissue. And some people develop stuffy noses during sex, a condition romantically referred to as honeymoon rhinitis.
Why do some people sneeze so loudly?

From a delicate sniffle to an elephantine roar, sneezes come in many shapes and sizes. The reason comes down to differences in anatomy and self-control. One survey found that 45 percent of people say their public sneezes differ from their private ones, according to a representative for the allergy drug Benadryl.
Why do some people sneeze more than once?

Some people's sneezes seem to naturally come in twos, threes or longer sets. These "paroxysmal" sneezers may suffer from allergies, researchers say. Or, in rare cases, epilepsy patients may have sneezing fits. Most of the time, though, a series of sneezes comes from a personal tic, or an attempt to rid the body of a speck of dust.

Gay sex How can a scene inbetween Kyler Moss and Elijah White get any
Group Sex, Female exhibitionist
fuckmysoul11
BRIEF WARNING: This story contains sexual material involving an young adult woman having sex with an underage 15 year old boy. If you are offended by such material, then this story isn't for you. Nathan Turner's first day at his new school was as to be expected, a rather hectic one.
Being fifteen and starting at a new school isn't easy. You've already got a set group of friends. Then you have to say goodbye to them and try and fit into a completely new crowd who usually don't take well to strangers. It's like a pack of wolves when a lone wolf makes its way to the grounds. But for Nathan it was even harder.
He never exactly fit in too well at his old school. He had worked hard to make the friends he had gotten; most over a period of several years. Now it was like he was back at the start again with a completely clean slate. At fifteen he didn't want a clean slate.
He wanted friends. After a couple of weeks at the new school Nathan still wasn't making any friends. The only person that he seemed to be getting along with at the school was Ms Kripke, his English teacher.
Nathan liked English. He was pretty much the only student in the class that did. He had an interest in writing. Ms Kripke liked helping the students that showed an interest, and since Nathan was the only student in her class that showed an interest they developed a good friendship. Nathan really did think of Ms Kripke as his friend and he hoped that she considered him one of hers, because Nathan desperately needed a friend.
He hated being alone. It didn't take long before Nathan had developed a crush on Ms Kripke. She was very beautiful. She had pale brown hair and blue eyes. And she was only twenty-four. She had gone to university straight out of high school and finished her education degree with flying colours. Sometimes Nathan just liked to just sit back and watch her.
Sometimes he found himself watching her breasts. If he watched them for long enough he would feel his cock begin to stir in his pants. There have been times when Nathan has been home and in bed that his train of thought has gone to Ms Kripke. While his comfortable in bed he imagines Ms Kripke's naked body pressing up against his.
Then he takes his cock in his hand and imagines that Ms Kripke is working it for him. Even though English was one of the few classes that Nathan actually took seriously, when he looked at Ms Kripke, he couldn't help but get distracted. But he would always try to make sure that Ms Kripke never caught him staring.
And he hoped that he was doing a good job. At times Nathan thought it was kind of strange that he was finding himself attracted to a person whose first name he didn't even know.
But once he got another look at Ms Kripke, he forgot all about that and started thinking about what a beautiful distraction she was. On Friday after a long week and particularly a long day at school, Nathan finally got to go to his last period class.
And luckily it was English. What better way to finish a week that dragged on, than with a class he liked. With a teacher he liked also. There was also going to be a test. It was his first test at this school. While most other students cringed at the idea of a test, Nathan actually liked them. They were pretty much all multiple choice. So all you had to do was read the question and circle an answer.
It was pretty easy in Nathan's book. And nine times out of ten the teachers didn't have any real class activities to do for when you were finished. So when the test was over, you usually had a pretty lazy time filling in the rest of the class.
It had been three hard weeks for Nathan and he still hadn't made any friends. There were a few people he could talk to here and there, but he would hardly call them friends. He was starting to believe he never would make any friends. That he was going to wind up spending his last years of school alone.
Nathan had spent his lunch break in the library which was across the other side of the school from E Block, which is where Nathan has English. So he was a few minutes late to class. He walked into the room while Ms Kripke was in mid-speech. She had been explaining the test to everybody. When Nathan walked in, everything seemed to go quiet and the whole room seemed to be staring at him. Then he heard quiet whispers and giggles coming from the back of the room.
Part of him was embarrassed. Another part of him was angry and wanted to jump over the desks and slug whoever it was laughing at him. But that would never happen. Nathan was quiet and shy, and the least violent person in the world; regardless of his thoughts. So instead, he walked over to his desk and sat down. Ms Kripke didn't say anything about Nathan being late.
She simply kept going with her speech to the class. Nathan opened his text book and started taking notes. He didn't have to take notes but he felt like he should. When Ms Kripke had finished her speech about the test, she picked up a pile of papers and started handing them out to everybody.
They were the test. Nathan got started straight away. He breezed through it. He was the first one finished. There was still half an hour left in the class when he walked up to Ms Kripke's desk and handed her his completed work. She seemed somewhat surprised that he had finished it so quickly. "Are you sure you don't want to go over it first?" She asked. "I already have been over it, twice actually.
I haven't made any mistakes." "That's great." She nodded. "I'll go over this and mark it while the others finish up." Nathan nodded and smiled and then walked back to his desk.
But before he left he gave her breasts a quick but detailed glance. Ms Kripke hadn't planned on marking any of the tests today. She had planned to wait until the weekend, but Nathan was a good student. It was fair to say that he might have even been her favourite student. He was a very bright boy. Ms Kripke wanted to encourage that. And since she had the time, she figured marking his test before the others might help as a form of encouragement.
It definitely wouldn't hurt. Ms Kripke had also noticed how Nathan had been looking at her the last few weeks that he had been coming to the school. She certainly didn't want to encourage any of that behaviour, but she couldn't help somewhat flattered all the same. And she wasn't blind. Nathan was a cute boy, and she'd be lying if she denied that that added to why she gave Nathan some special treatment.
As the half an hour left of the class shortened and more and more students started coming up with their completed tests, Ms Kripke continued marking Nathan's test. It was taking her longer than she had expected it to. Then when all the students had handed in their tests and the bell finally rang, Ms Kripke was still marking Nathan's test. She was almost finished.
The students all got up out of their seats and ran out in a hurry. But Nathan waited behind. He liked to say goodbye to Ms Kripke before he left. But today he was also wondering what his marks were on his test. He was hoping she was just about finished marking it so he could find out what he got before he went home. Nathan left his bag at his desk and he walked up to her desk and Ms Kripke looked up at him. "I'm just about finished here if you don't mind waiting." Ms Kripke said. "I don't want to keep you." "It's alright." Nathan said.
"I don't mind. I've got nothing else to do. I want to find out my results." Then Nathan leaned up against the side of her desk as he waited for her to finish marking his test. His eyes gazed down beyond her blouse to her perfect cleavage. He felt his cock stir in his pants again.
As Nathan continued staring, Ms Kripke finished marking the test and looked up at Nathan. He had kept staring too long. He quickly jolted his head away hoping that she hadn't caught him staring. Luckily his hardening cock was hidden behind her desk. But Ms Kripke had seen Nathan staring at her. And not just that time either, but many other times before. But she never let on. She didn't want to embarrass him. "You've done very good Nathan.
You were one question away from having a perfect score." Ms Kripke said.
"You've got a natural affinity for writing." Nathan smiled. "Thank you Ms Kripke." Ms Kripke wrote down Nathan's final score on the front of his test and drew a big circle around it, and then she handed it back over to him.
He looked down at his score and he smiled again. He was so happy. Everything else around him seemed to fade away. All he cared about was his good score. He'd forgotten everything else. Nathan walked back to his desk to get his bag. He opened the zipper and placed his test inside.
Then he strung his bag over his shoulder and turned around and was about ready to begin walking back over to Ms Kripke's desk to say goodbye and leave. But then just before he started to walk, for a split second he noticed that Ms Kripke had looked at him with an unusual stare.
Then that's when he remembered something that during the rush of getting a high score on his test Nathan had forgotten. He had an erection that he had been hiding behind Ms Kripke's desk. He looked down and realised he still had it.
His heart sank. That's what she had been looking at. She had caught him with an erection. "Oh, I'm sorry." Nathan said and quickly moved his hands over his crotch to cover the bulge. "That's alright." Ms Kripke said. "I was fifteen once as well, you know. I know what it's like. I had crushes on a couple of my teachers during high school too." "What makes you I don't what " Nathan stuttered out.
"It's alright Nathan. I don't care. But I've seen the way you've looked at me, so you can't really deny it. Don't feel embarrassed though. It's not a problem." "I'm sorry Ms Kripke." Nathan said. He felt an overwhelming need to apologise. No matter what Ms Kripke had said, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "I couldn't help it. You're just too good looking." Then Nathan felt like banging his head against the wall.
He couldn't believe he had just said that. If she wasn't pissed off before she certainly was going to be now, he just knew it. 'She had already caught me with an erection; she doesn't want to hear me saying that she's good looking.' Nathan thought to himself. He dropped his bag on the floor and then slouched over with shame and embarrassment. "You don't have to keep apologising. It's alright." Ms Kripke said. "And thank you." She added rather nervously.
"You're good looking too." She felt he needed a compliment after the shame and embarrassment he was feeling. "Do you really think so Ms Kripke?" Nathan asked. He was feeling a little more relaxed now.
But he still felt guilty. "You're a good looking young man. And you can call me Belinda if you like. You don't have to worry about the formalities." Nathan still looked guilty.
He looked like the cat that ate the canary. He was beginning to squirm. Belinda Kripke got up from behind her desk and walked up to Nathan and sat down on top of one of the student's desks right next to him.
"You don't have to feel embarrassed about your feelings towards me. If you want to talk to me about how you feel, you are more than welcome to." "I think of you almost every day." Nathan said shyly. He was embarrassed but he wanted to tell her how he felt. "I think of you while I'm in bed." Belinda Kripke was both shocked and flattered.
In fact she was a little turned on. She hadn't been with a man in five years, and Nathan was a good looking boy. Then his young age and the fact that he was one of her students started meaning less and less to her.
"What do you do when you think about me in bed?" Belinda Kripke asked. Then when Nathan stayed quiet, and looked to be struggling to answer, Belinda asked an extension to her question. "Do you touch yourself when you think of me?" "Yes, Ms Kripke, I do." Nathan wasn't feeling embarrassed or guilty anymore.
He even moved his hands away from his crotch. He didn't care if she saw the bulge anymore. In fact he wanted her to see it. "Remember, I do have a first name. You can call me Belinda." "Belinda." Nathan said with a smile. "You really do touch yourself thinking about me?" Belinda asked. She had noticed that Nathan had moved his hands away from his crotch and she couldn't help but look at the bulge.
Nathan nodded. "Yeah, I imagine you doing all sorts of things to me." "Like what? What sort of things do you like me doing to you in your dreams Nathan?" Belinda Kripke asked. "Do you picture me rubbing my hands over your body?" Nathan nodded. Nathan was really surprised. He couldn't believe he was having this conversation with Ms Kripke. His dreams were coming true. "What? Do you mean like this?" Belinda asked, and then stood up off the table she had sat on and she reached out her hands and pressed them against Nathan's chest and held them there for a second and then she ran them down to the bottom of his stomach and then she pulled them back.
Nathan was shocked, but his hormones were raging harder than they ever had before and they made him answer. "Yeah, that was great. But I like it better after you've taken my shirt off." "Oh, do you?" Belinda asked. Then she reached her hands and took Nathan's shirt in her hand. Then she started to slowly undo the buttons.
When the last button on his shirt was undone, Belinda Kripke peeled back the sides of his shirt and started pushing them over his shoulders. Nathan held back his arms and the shirt slipped off onto the floor. Belinda put her hands on Nathan's chest like she did before.
His hard little nipples were resting under her hands. Then she slowly slid her hands down further and further until they stopped at the top of the waistband of his pants. Then she pulled her hands away. "You were right." Belinda said. "That was much better when you had your shirt off. You've got a really good body Nathan." Nathan smiled and blushed. Then he reached out his hands and put them against Belinda's stomach.
He moved his hands up and down her stomach and even brushed them over her breasts. Then he suddenly held them still. "I bet this is better with your shirt off too." Nathan said. Belinda nodded and Nathan got a shot of nerves, but he knew what he had to do. He started unbuttoning her shirt just as she had done to him. He did it very, very slowly. Then when the buttons were all undone he pushed it over her shoulders and Belinda let the shirt drop to the floor.
Nathan looked at her smooth body and nice bra clad tits. Nathan moved his hands across Belinda's bare belly. Then he moved them up and brushed his hands over her breast again and then just rested them there. He was feeling her curves through her bra. "I think it would be even better if I took this off too." Nathan said. Belinda Kripke nodded. Nathan got a strange rush of mixed feelings.
He was excited and nervous at the same time. Then he reached back behind her and grabbed at the clasp on her bra. With some pulling and twisting he finally got it undone and her bra fell off and landed on the floor in-between them. Nathan watched it drop to the floor and then he looked back up at her bare chest. This was the first time Nathan had seen real naked breasts. They were so big and beautiful. He wanted to plough right into them. So he did the next best thing. He reached out and took them in his hands and started squeezing them.
Nathan wanted more of Belinda's tits. So then out of a strange impulse, Nathan moved his face closer to her breasts and then ploughed it in-between them and started licking and sucking. Belinda Kripke gasped in shock, but let him do it.
Nathan pulled his face back out, and then took one of her breasts in his hand and started sucking on the nipple. Belinda let out a quiet moan. Then Nathan moved on to the second breast and started sucking on its nipple too. Belinda let out another quick and quiet moan as he sucked her nipple. "You're making me so horny." Belinda gasped out without even realising she even said it until after the fact. Belinda Kripke saying that turned Nathan on even more.
He gave each of her nipples a few more sucks each and then he went back to simply squeezing them. But he did it even harder this time.
While Nathan squeezed her breasts, Belinda reached out and started rubbing his body again. She moved her hands over his chest and stomach. She was moving her hands around a bit more frantically this time. She spent a lot of time rubbing his nipples.
Then she moved her hands down further rubbing his smooth stomach.
It gave Nathan a tingle up the back of his neck. Then when her hands reached his waistband of his pants, she didn't take her hands away this time, she stuck her thumbs in behind the elastic waist and stretched it out and looked down at his bulging boxer briefs with a smile. "It looks like it's getting pretty cramped down there." She said.
Nathan slowed down rubbing her tits a bit and nodded. "It wants out." Belinda then pulled down his pants past his waist and then they dropped down to the floor. Nathan then stepped out of them. Nathan then grabbed at her pants and opened her fly.
Then he pulled down her pants and they came down and Belinda stepped out of hers to. While Nathan was standing there wearing nothing but his bulging boxer briefs he kept watching Belinda Kripke's gorgeous body. Nathan could hardly even believe that she was actually standing before him wearing nothing but a G-string.
Belinda Kripke stepped closer to Nathan until their bodies were only an inch apart. Then she ran her hands down his back and over his arse and rested them there. She gently cupped his boxer brief clad arse cheeks in her hands. "You've got a great arse as well." Belinda said. Nathan wrapped his arms around her back and cupped her arse cheeks in his hands just as she had done to his.
Only since she was wearing a G-string, Nathan got to feel a lot of her flesh; aside from the bit covered by the strip up the middle. "So do you." Nathan said. Then he gave her arse a light squeeze. It felt so goods. It was nice and firm. "Wow, you're a frisky boy, aren't you Nathan?
Well, there's only one antidote for that." Belinda said. Then Belinda pulled Nathan's arse that extra inch closer to her and his body pressed up against hers.
The bulge in his boxer briefs was rubbing up against her left leg. Then she let him go and separated their bodies again. Then she sat back down on the student's desk she had been sitting on before. Then she slipped off her G-string and dropped it on the floor. Then she leaned back on the table and spread her legs apart to give Nathan a perfect view of her pussy.
It was dripping wet. Nathan let out a little gasp of breathe.
It was partly from excitement and partly from arousal. It was the first time he had ever seen another woman's vagina before. A wet spot of pre-cum had developed on the front of his boxer briefs.
His cock was hard pressed against the fabric. It wanted to get out. The pressure was building up to more than he could stand. "Do you want it Nathan?" Belinda asked, and Nathan replied with a gentle nod of his head.
"Then get over here and make it yours." Nathan moved closer to the table until he was right in front of her. Then he grabbed at the waistband of his boxer briefs and then he bent down and slipped the boxer briefs right down around his ankles and then he stood back up and stepped out of them.
His raging erection stood straight out in front of him. Bulging and gleaming in the light of the classroom. It was smooth and hairless. Nathan had started shaving off his pubic hair recently. It felt that it looked better with it off.
Then Nathan took his cock in his hand and started stroking it slowly while he nervously waited to see what Belinda Kripke would say. "Oh, wow Nathan. It's so big. It's massive.
I had no idea it was going to be so huge. You're a very big boy." Belinda said. Nathan blushed and smiled. Then he started stroking his cock slightly faster. He loved simply looking at her beautiful body and wet pussy. That was enough for him.
But he definitely wanted more. And so did Belinda Kripke. "Come here you big boy." Belinda said, luring him closer with her finger. Then Nathan moved in nice and close to her. His cock was only about an inch away from her. He was nervous and excited. He had a strange smile on his face. Belinda patted the side of the table she was laying back on. "Come hop up here with me. Let's get really close." Nathan put his hands on either side of the table and managed to manoeuvre himself up on top of it, and up on top of Belinda.
He pushed himself up off the table with his hands and held himself above her and looked down into her beautiful eyes. "Come here handsome." Belinda said and wrapped her arms around Nathan's back.
Then Nathan wrapped his arms around her neck and he pressed his body up against hers and gave her a kiss on the lips. Their tongues intertwined and circled around each other's mouths in a frenzied hurry. Nathan could feel his cock pressing up right against her thigh. It was cover bits of her thigh with sticky spots of pre-cum.
They broke the kiss and stared into each other's eyes. Then Belinda Kripke had a moment of panic. A wave of guilt washed over her. She was in a sexual naked body lock with one of her fifteen year old students. Then when she felt his sticky cock rubbing up against her thigh, all levels of realism exited her mind. "Is this your first time?" Belinda asked. Nathan shook his head and then Belinda started moving her hand down between their bodies.
Nathan lifted himself up off her an inch or two to give her some space. Then she took Nathan's cock in her hand and he jolted a bit with surprise. Belinda smiled and gazed into his eyes. She thought he had beautiful eyes. "I'll guide you." She said. "I'll show you where to go." Nathan nodded and then Belinda started guiding his cock back down to her body; to her pussy to be exact.
Then the head of his cock reached the opening of her pussy. Then Belinda let go of his cock and gave him a smile. "You can push it inside me now. You're ready to go." Belinda said, and then she wrapped her hands around the back of Nathan's neck.
Nathan pressed his cock up against her pussy and it made its way inside of her with a pop, and Belinda let out a moan. Within a split second, Nathan's cock had made it all the way inside her pussy. Nathan was shocked by how it felt to have his cock inside her pussy. It was so wet and warm and tight.
It felt strange and brilliant. He simply held that position to absorb the feelings. "God, you're big." Belinda said and then she let out a soft moan and whispered into his ear. "Fuck me now Nathan. Fuck me hard." Nathan was both shocked and turned on by Ms Kripke's sudden swearing. And it was definitely all she needed to say to get him started.
Nathan slid his waist back and then he slammed his cock back into her pussy and Belinda let out another moan; a loud one this time.
"Fuck me!" She screamed out and grabbed Nathan's arse cheeks in her hands and squeezed them tight. "Fuck me!" Then Nathan started. He was sliding his cock out and slamming it back in as hard as he could.
He was grunting as he did it. All the while Belinda was moaning at the top of her lungs and squeezing Nathan's arse cheeks as hard as she could. But Nathan didn't even seem to notice, he just kept fucking her as hard as he could.
A spark in Nathan's mind was afraid that he'd be the first to come and he couldn't keep going and please her. But as he was soon to realise, that wasn't a problem. Belinda started to moan and yell even louder and Nathan could feel her pussy tensing up around his cock.
It made fucking her feel even better. Her nails started to dig in on Nathan's arse cheeks, but Nathan didn't care. It helped at to the ecstasy. "Oh God, oh Nathan, I'm going to cum." Belinda moaned out in an almost unrecognisable and inaudible voice. Then her nails dug in even more into Nathan's arse and Belinda let out one final moaning scream as her orgasm reached climax and her pussy juices started spraying out around all sides of Nathan's bulging cock.
It helped Nathan fuck her even harder. It was a great natural lubricant. It made Nathan feel powerful that he could make a woman feel so good. He felt proud of himself.
Then as Nathan continued fucking her juice filled pussy he soon started feeling an orgasm start to creep up on him. His legs and arse started to tense and cramp and then his cock started to bulge and shoot out ropes of cum into Belinda's wet pussy. Belinda moaned again and again as she felt him start to cum inside of her and begin to fill up her pussy even more.
Then when Nathan's cock was emptied out he let out a sigh and laid down on top of Belinda with his cock still inside her, slowly softening again.
But he was still horny. He wanted to fuck her again. Then Nathan pushed himself up off of Belinda and down off the table and he sat down on the floor watching Belinda. He was puffing and panting, trying to catch his breathe. His cock was semi-hard and covered with cum and Belinda's pussy juices. It was shiny and slippery. "That was great." Nathan said.
"No, it was amazing." Belinda Kripke said, pushing herself up off the table into a sitting position. "I've never felt anything like it before.
You're cock was just so big and powerful. It just glided right through me. Nobody has ever made me cum like that before Nathan. You really made me feel special." "I've never cum like that before either. I lost count of how many times I shot into you. I've never felt like that before. I felt like I was going to pass right out." Belinda got off the table and sat down on the floor right in front of Nathan, facing him. She took his slippery cock in her hand and it immediately grew to being fully erect.
That made Belinda smile. "It looks like you're a bit messy." She said. Then she rubbed her pussy. It was covered in cum and pussy juice; inside and out. "It looks like I'm a bit messy too. Maybe we could clean each other up. Would you like that?" Nathan nodded. Then Belinda got on her knees and gave Nathan a little shove against his chest.
Then he dropped down on the floor and was lying on his back. It hadn't been a strong shove, but Nathan wasn't expecting it, so it was enough to knock him over. Then Belinda got down on all fours and stood over Nathan, with her pussy directly above his face.
Her face was right above his cock. "Now let's see how good you are at cleaning up." Belinda said. "All good boys have to clean up after themselves." Then Belinda placed her pussy right down on Nathan's face. He got the idea quick enough. He started licking and slurping. A combination of his own cum and Belinda's pussy juices swirled around in his mouth.
Then he put his hands on the back of Belinda's arse to keep her steady. Then he started pushing his tongue up inside her pussy and licking out all the flavours. Then Belinda took Nathan's cock in her mouth and started licking and sucking it. The rush of nerves running through Nathan's cock was amazing. After fucking Belinda, his cock was so sensitive. He was almost ready to cum again. Then more of Belinda's pussy juice started to drip out into Nathan's mouth again.
She was starting to cum again. Then her juices started spurting out quicker than they had the first time around, and Nathan's face got covered in it. He tried to swallow as much as he could. He could hear Belinda's muffled moans as she continued to suck his cock. Then Nathan's second orgasm finally erupted again and cum started spraying up into her mouth.
She was trying to swallow it all, but some still managed to leak out the sides of her mouth. When the gushing finally stopped they swallowed anything that was left and then Belinda rolled onto the floor next to Nathan. Then she shuffled around so they were both lying down face to face. Then they shared a kiss, and Nathan licked up some of his cum that was left dribbling down the side of her face and gave her a cheeky little smile.
"That cock of yours never stops, does it?" "Not if I can help it." "You're the best." Belinda said. Belinda took Nathan's cock in her hand and simply just held it there. It was completely limp now, but it was still far too big to fit in Belinda's hand. "God, you're massive Nathan. I can't believe you're only fifteen. You must be a freak of nature or something. I wasn't a screamer until today. I never screamed or moaned that loud during sex before. You turned me into a screamer.
That giant thing of yours will turn any girl into a screamer." Belinda said with a smile and a giggle. Nathan smiled. "I do what I can." He said. "I had to work hard to be this good." Belinda giggled. But then her face suddenly turned serious. "Nathan." She said. "You have to promise me something. You can't tell anyone about what happened here.
You can't tell anyone. Do you understand?" "Who am I going to tell? My Mother?" "I'm being serious here Nathan." "So am I." Nathan said. "I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I'm not exactly Mr Popular around here.
So far since I've been coming to this school, you're the only friend I've made. None of the students want to have anything to do with me. I haven't got anyone to tell. Even if I did, I know better than to spread it around to everyone. I'm better than all that.
I'm not a gossip." "Thank you." Belinda said and held Nathan's hand gently. Her eyes were consoling. "You really do have the biggest cock." She added with a smile. "You should be proud." Nathan said with a smile. "You were this giant cock's first good time." Within the following hours the two of them continued talking. But as the time grew late, they both decided they should head home.
So they both got dressed, gave each other a kiss goodbye, and then when they left the classroom they both went their separate ways. Belinda headed for the staff parking lot and starting driving home.
She was thinking about Nathan all the way. Nathan headed straight for the front gate and started walking home. He was thinking about Belinda, but he was also thinking about what his excuse would be for coming home so late.
He couldn't really think of anything good. So he decided to tell his mum that he went to a friend's house after school. He had gotten in trouble for going to a friend's place after school before because he didn't tell her.
So he decided that she probably wouldn't think he's lying. Nathan decided that forgetting to tell her that he was going to a friend's house was much better than telling her he had sex with the teacher. She'd probably never believe him anyway. She'd probably just think he was being a smartarse. His lie was definitely the safest option.
Then when he finally got home he told her exactly that. She believed every word of it. He did get in trouble as he had thought, but it wasn't as bad as he had expected. But now he got to keep his little secret to himself. Once his mother got through with him and told him what for about not telling her he was going to be late with his friends, then he went into his bedroom and laid down on the bed. He looked up at the ceiling thinking about Belinda Kripke.
He couldn't believe it had actually happened. Usually in dreams this would be where he woke up. A part of him kept saying that he was just about to wake up. But deep down, he knew he wasn't. He knew it wasn't a dream. It was too detailed to be a dream. None of his dreams were ever that detailed. This was the first time he truly was happy. AUTHORS NOTE: Please tell me what you think of my story. Regarless of if you loved it or hated it, I would like to know.
PS - I hadn't planned on writing a second part to this story, but if you want one then just say so. I'd be more than happy to write more parts if that's what people want. I love writing these stories.

After celebrating Mother's Day with my family this year I headed up to Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park for a photography engagement session with Nick and Nancy. The drive up was beautiful through Big Thompson Canyon in Loveland, CO. It's been such a relief to see green grass and have warm weather!
When we arrived there were tons of families enjoying the park with each other for Mother's Day and at first I was a bit concerned that we might not be able to avoid having other people in the background of the photos. However, my worry was for nothing and as we chose our first spot to start our session people began to gather their children up so as not to be in our "way". We began down by the Big Thompson River which is running high and fast since the snow in the mountains is beginning to melt. Then we took some on the bridge, and moved over into a grassy area for some fun and flirty poses. Nancy has the sweetest smile, and beautiful brown eyes that are truly captivating in a photograph. I had lots of fun capturing the two of them getting a chance to wind down from the day and just be in love, ( accompanied by a professional photographer of course (o: ). We took our time, and really enjoyed the evening as the sun went down behind the mountains.
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful, diverse landscape. This session was a wonderful way to begin a fun summer filled with weddings, babies, expectant mothers, and families large and small. I love new beginnings.

Swoosh on a little Japanese mayo to finish with a splash of soy and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl A Thought For Food Add some vegetables to your diet and some color to your bowl with this poke bowl.
Toss before eating but after serving.
A growing number of poke restaurants are opening in our area including.Serve with a ponzu sauce on the side made from soy, lime juice, mirin and finely diced green chilli; ideally a jalapeno or serrano.In Hawaii, different variations of this dish are not difficult to come.In the middle, dollop a generous scoop of mayonnaise mixed with some fiery sriracha and soy.No road trip is complete without stopping for musubi, grilled spam and sushi rice wrapped in a nori seaweed sheet.Pick A Soup Or A Salad.(Removing the thinner flaps from each edge of the fillet leaves you with a neat barrel of salmon that can be sliced for sashimi or for a chirashi bowl see below.).Instead lets discuss the joys of lomi-lomi.But our top picks include: Togarashi (a spicy Japanese seasoning blend) Sesame seeds Furikake Crispy shallots Coconut Fresh, quality fish is essential to making your own poke at home.
"Low-sodium soy sauce is a pretty standard offering nowadays says Lunak.
Salmon Poke Bowl Lady Pups If you're worried about using tuna due to overfishing or its mercury levels, don't even risk.
(Just be sure to sip plenty of water throughout to help flush out all that salt.).
The trick was when you inverted the bowl on your guests plate suddenly the hidden goodies were now on top of a pile of rice.
You dont need to use sushi rice try brown rice, quinoa or farro.Fatty salmon poké, not my jazz nickname but all the pleasure of a California roll in a poké.Then, using your hands, massage the rinsed and dried cubes of the fish with diced tomatoes, blanched and halved slices of red onion, chilli flakes and crushed ice or frozen diced cucumber.Divide your bowl of brown rice or seasoned sushi rice into four quadrants.If youd rather some Polynesian pride, rename the dish after the very similar Tongan ota ika.Canned tuna pok é Heres a take on the rather too delicious dynamite handrolls that my sensei used to make me when I was back at the hipster Dojo.The Everyday Food of Hawaii, poke is pronounced, poh-keh, and the word means "to cut." This aggressive verb, however, describes a delicate dish of raw, fresh fish (think: ahi tuna, salmon or shellfish) that are marinated and served cold over rice.Marinate 500g firm tofu, cubed, in a mix of 60ml soy sauce, 10ml sesame oil and 1 tsp each of grated ginger and grated garlic.Octopus: 95 calories,.5 grams carbohydrate, 17 grams protein, 210 mg sodium.Although there is nothing wrong with a little innovation, you're missing out if you haven't tried the real deal. .
If you do want your food to have a kick, she recommends using wasabi instead of the spicy mayo sauce, and ginger to add another level of flavor when you take each bite.
Here's the rundown on typical poke protein options; you'll notice that carbs, protein and sodium vary widely.

JVC has always been a top contender in the projector market, and many of the SoundStage! Network reviewers use their projectors. JVC maintains their strong foothold by offering top-shelf performance at competitive prices. It therefore came as no surprise that JVC recently released updated versions of their X3, X7, and flagship X9 projectors, now dubbed the X30R, X70R, and X90R, respectively. What did come as a surprise is the fact that despite the numerous improvements made to all three of these models, none suffered a price hike. In fact, the X30R now retails for a thousand dollars less at $3500.
Still priced at $8000 (X70R) and $12,000 (X90R), the top two models now offer a host of new features including an industry-leading 4k upscaler, a slightly improved contrast ratio (it was 75,000:1, and it's now 80,000:1), and an improved pixel-shift adjustment engine that now breaks pixels into 16 sections as opposed to the previous models' four sections. Finally, you can now make general picture adjustments in two ways: by applying settings to the entire picture, or by dividing the picture into 16 sections and adjusting each one individually.
JVC has also completely revamped their 3D engine, which now boasts new features including an internal 3D anamorphic converter; an onboard 2D-to-3D converter that enables standard 2D source material to be watched in 3D; and a new picture-adjustment feature called 3D Parallax Adjustment, which is said to "allow you to make adjustments to certain settings that result in an 'enhanced' level of 3D resolution."
JVC's commitment to improved performance doesn't come at the consumer's expense -- literally. These new projectors offer improved performance and, depending on the model, are priced the same as their predecessors or less. It's this commitment to achieving high performance while maintaining reasonable prices that makes JVC's projectors some of the best products at this year's CES, and it's why they're still favorites among the SoundStage! Network's staff.

Palladin, being very religious is one of the things that would prevent somebody from commiting suicide, but it is not the only thing.
I think the suicide rates among religions that accept suicide and among atheists are not much higher than Judaism, Christianity and Moslem religions followers whose religions condemn it.
I and Atta might have been similar in our religious convictions, but I don't know about his other convictions and charecter to compare myself to him.
I find it a little bit strange that many people attribute Atta's crime to Islam, but ignore his behaviour of not praying, not visiting Haj, drinking, bar hopping and womanizing habits.
John even if there were a millions of true Moslems who were willing to sacrifice themselves to prevent suicide missions, they would make no difference on the suicide bombers and their motivators who don't care what religion says about suicides.
WmLambert
True, it needs the media to condemn the acts.

Quote: God forbid that we should go to war knowing that it would kill thousands and thousands of babies.
Yeah you would allow them to murder many of our children just to avoid killing their babies. Babies who by the way are indoctrinated into killing our babies in the future. We fight so they stop murdering us and regret killing their babies by accident. They fight to murder us and regret missing our babies. You and others need to stop with this moral equivalancy between the islamic fascist and free people.

Dem4Bush, you've divided the problem into a righteous"us" and an unrighteous, immoral, unethical "them." But your 'side' in the problem also believes in, and rejoices in, dead babies. That 'side' is not worth fighting for.
Who is your God: your earthly nation?
I'm often wrong. But I'm not always wrong!
That comment,it seems to me,shows a side of you we need to see. You cannot find it within your soul to feel that your Christian status is spiritually superior in God's view to their Islamic status.
Thus,they are your equal before God?
That's not what Scripture teaches,not by a country mile.
God makes it known He sees enough distinction such that they live for eternity in total darkness and excruciating fire and we get to live forever with Him in Heaven,so WHY do you berate Dem for making the exact same distinction?
I share his view. They teach their children to attack our children,we do NOT teach our children such evil,notwithstanding your continued slander of your fellow Christians.
We teach our children to live in peace with all men so far as is practicable,that's what the Bible teaches us. When our nation is attacked,we teach our kids then to slaughter the evil foe bravely.
I wish you could see the difference in what we Christians teach our kids and those Muslims teach theirs. For a lesson in the difference,note it was those dishonorable humans that have been murdering Americans since 1993,we only retaliated beginning in 2002,FYI.
Did Hitler and Stalin's parents teach them love?
Do you know that Stalin's parents wanted him to become Christian priest, and he attended Christian schools. Did he learn to love humanity in these schools or from his parents?
When less than 1% of Moslems are fanatical and some of these people are inclined to do terrorism.
Why are you doing the work of Moslem fanatics by trying to alinate the 99% Moslems from their peacefull ways?
Kamil,
1)I think all Muslims already are the enemy of the USA . I started out thinking as you suggest,I wasn't always hard tailed against all Muslims,but I am now. I see all Muslims as hostile to both Christians,Jews and America as well as other "infidels".
Look across the globe Kamil. India,Thailand,Philippines,Europe,North America. Look at YOU, You waste my time railing on Jews and Christians,but Jews and Christians are not MY ENEMY,they are not the enemy of the USA are they????? Yet,you rail on those 2 and not who our enemy is,radical Islam,RIGHT???
You keep trying to make Christians out as the bad guys and Christians HAVE BEEN bad guys at times,I'm not about to absolve Christians of various types of evil.
The Bible doesn't,so I won't. The Bible teaches Christians can and often do the same errors as non Christians,BUT,The Bible TEACHES us not to. And they are NOT the current enemy of my nation,so why are you railing on us? Islam is dude,remember? Bin Laden doesn't preach from The Bible,does he?
The Koran teaches you people to see us as disgusting in the second half of it,I know what the Koran teaches. You're not even a true Muslim according to your own testimony to me and you're becoming a changed & hostile man,Kamil from 4 years ago,so tell me,what if you WERE a religious Muslim?
Think you might be more likely to join the jihad? I think you would be very interested in jihad if you were "religious" because that's what your religion teaches and it's why I see no realistic scenario to eventually deporting you guys. It won't be fun and I wish it weren't necessary,but your conduct makes me wonder if it isn't eventually inevitable?
Incidentally,that photo is a pitiful attempt to make the claim Hitler's movement was a Christian movement. He is photoed with the Muslim Mufti of Jerusalem as well. Without context,either is meaningless.
I can probably find a photo of Stalin visiting a Mosque,but I'm too intellectually honest to act like Communism is in league with Mohammad.
Hitler had a rather substantial relationship with the Mufti of Jerrusalem,to include using him to recruit Muslims into the Handschar Division of the SS in Bosnia,I'd be careful about propaganda. The Koran makes many of the same comments about Jews Hitler did. The Bible does not. The Bible teaches me to be kind to them.
I might not be a religious person, but I have many friends who are.
None of them support terrorism, and believe that fanatics are giving bad name to all Moslems.
Similar posts to yours are copied and pasted in many Jihadists boards to show what Christians think about all Moslems and try to recruit peacefull Moslems to their side.
You are working much harder than the Jihadists to do their recruiting for them.
Do you think that if you helped to increase their support from 1% to 10% it will make it easier to win war against terrorism?
By the way, the assesment of you above was done by a true Christian who I work with. Just because you call yourself a Christian does not make you a Christian :lol:
Excuse me I do not rejoice in the death of any babies. I just know enough not to shed tears over the children of the enemy which would grow up and kill my children. I put my future children ahead of their children. You do not and thats fine.
We do not indoctrinate our children to kill anyone. If this were true we'd all be killing each other instead of having a a civilized debate here on the forum.
Quote: Dem4Bush, you've divided the problem into a righteous"us" and an unrighteous, immoral, unethical "them."
We would never kill our babies to kill innocent muslim children. They would do it. Its simple we are right and they are wrong, and you're confused.
You missed my point,you people already ARE our enemy. I don't see how me quoting Koran verses for you guys hating us is going to cause you to hate us. It's part of your religion.
It already has occurred,I didn't bomb Mecca on 9-11 did I??? You rail on Christians and Jews while Muslims are at war with our nation,what does that tell me? It tells me your heart is opposed to this nation.
Your threat is if we speak the truth,even more Muslims will become terrorists and I'm supposed to act like the coward and not speak the truth as I see it? YOU ARE RIGHT,I think very lowly of your religion,look at what it is producing daily. Look at your threats,you sound like the slugs in England now.
I have no use for dissembling,that's why I state openly I would deport you people. Also,I would have blown up lots of you people overseas already,like we did in WWII as an example.
I didn't notice your comment about me. What did your "true Christian" friend tell you about me? That Islam is fine? That it is good we Christians allow you Muslims to remove our freedom without a fight? That we sit back and let people like you dictate what we can say so your fellow Muslims don't do more mass murder on we Christians?
You sound more like Hitler everyday :lol:
When did Christians started following Christian Religion?
Please explain something to me. While some people call Christianity, religion of peace, a study of history contradicts those claims.
Buddhists and Hindus seems like were and are much more peaceful religions and even though their population was far greater than Christians they caused very small amounts of deaths.
Just some brief historical observations:
While Crusaders were supposed to free Jerusalem from Moslems, many major Crusaders did not even reach Jerusalem, they went to some Eastern European countries and killed scores of Jews and fellow Christians. Do some research on Fourth Crusade.
By the beginning of the 16th century, the medieval Church and all that it represented, entered a period of profound crisis. By this time, the Church was nearly fifteen centuries old. Throughout its history the Church always had to confront problems both within its organization and from without. But by 1500, these problems rose to the surface and the Church would shake at its very foundation.

At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. The number that is most often quoted is 620,000. At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.
The number of World War I casualties (military and civilian) was over 37 million - over 15 million deaths and 22 million wounded. This includes almost 9 million military deaths and about 6.6 million civilian deaths. The Allied Powers lost more than 5 million soldiers and the Central Powers more than 3 million. Casualty numbers are much debated.
The total estimated human loss of life caused by World War II, irrespective of political alignment, was roughly 62 million people. The civilian toll was around 37 million, the military toll about 25 million. The Allies lost around 51 million people, and the Axis lost 11 million. (Note that some Axis countries switched sides and reentered the war on the side of the Allies; those nations are included in the Allied count, regardless of when the deaths occurred.) There was a disproportionate loss of life and property; some nations had a higher casualty rate than others, due to a number of factors including military tactics, crimes against humanity, economic preparedness and the level of technology.
No sir you sound like Hitler. You have to treat muslims with velvet gloves or they'll bomb us. You can't say anything offensive, the hell with the first amendment. Its fascism in which we are all now required by the left and your kind to treat muslims better than we treat anyone else. Palladin is right we should deport all of you back to the middle east. Benedict Arnold wears a turbin.
Come on folks. You are allowing yourself to get carried away with your passions. Calling for complete exportation is first of all inpossible, and secondly not legally fair to the American citizenry.
I am not certain of the number of US citizens, who are followers of Islam, but it is large enough that rounding them up would be far more difficult than what happened to the Japanese during WWII, and they cooperated at almost 100% compliance.
And Kamil has already stated that he is not a practitioner of Islam. He is quite simply defending his beliefs and heritage.
It seems that argueing religion and it's channeling into terror are something that we all have to be careful, when presenting our position.
Palladin and his cronies like to portray all Moslems as terrorists and turn all Moslems against them.
They must think that having problems with less than 1% of the misguided Moslems is an too easy of a problem to handle. They want to even out the odds by having a big portion of the 1.4 billion Moslems turn against them.
Luckily knowledgable and smarter people in the Government know and understand the problem well and ignore a few loud noises made by people who are still mourning the loss of slavery.
Ok, let me just say this. This thread has been going downhill for a while, and though I would hate to close it, I will do so. If all of you don't quit 'bear baiting' each other, I will definately resort to what is considered as extreme action here at Jane.
Not all Muslims support terrorists, but there are some serious problems with Islam. Actually, there's one serious problem with Islam - its misogyny and repression of women. All the other problems stem from that.

Again, you are wrong Grasshopper, but on the right track. You have the ass-end mixed up with the front assembly. Repression of women is a manifestation of the problem, which is the application of Islam itself.
Well, you have to ask yourself, *why* is Islam being applied? Its a vicious cycle - Islam causes hatred of women, which causes rage, rage causes the application of Islam. There is no discernible cause and effect.

Like I have said before, my main interests are with the United States and Turkey.
Turkey started reforms after establishment of Turkish Republic in 1923 under the guidance of secular Ataturk.
Now reforms are coming from within the Islamic establishment without pressures from outside influences.
Please check the following threads about these reforms,

LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- GTI (Green Thumb Industries) Ohio LLC plans on opening two medical marijuana dispensaries in Lakewood. The Chicago-based company has proposed construction of two RISE stores on undeveloped lots at 11818 Madison Ave. and 18607 Detroit Ave.
Both locations received approval from the Lakewood Planning Commission and Architectural Board of Review. Work can begin once construction documents are approved by the Lakewood Building Department.
"We love Northeast Ohio, we like the city of Cleveland and we figured that Lakewood, given the population density, would provide an opportunity to serve a large patient community," GTI Ohio LLC Manager Adam Robbins said.
With 17 existing locations in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Florida, Illinois and Nevada, GTI Ohio LLC earlier this year was awarded five Ohio provisional licenses, which allow for the opening of dispensaries in Lakewood, as well as in downtown Cleveland (currently under construction), Lorain and Toledo.
"These sites are for the retail of medical cannabis only," Robbins said. "There will be no production, no cultivation at these locations. It's just for the dispensing of medical cannabis. All the medical cannabis will be sourced locally from the state of Ohio from the licensed cultivators and manufacturers that won their application through the Ohio Department of Commerce, which is the body overseeing cultivation and processing.
GTI Ohio LLC hopes to open both Lakewood locations toward the end of 2019.
Mayor Mike Summers felt it was inevitable that Lakewood would have license applicants.
"Consequently, we created and ultimately approved ordinances that compensate the city for extra costs of public safety and create clear safety expectations and building design approval processes," Summers said.
"We were surprised that Lakewood applicants received two of the five initial licenses granted in Cuyahoga County. Lakewood's annual fees of $25,000 a year and 1.5 percent of annual sales over $1.2 million dollars are among the highest municipal fees in the country. These funds can be used to support expanded human services for our most vulnerable residents," he said.
Lakewood Director of Planning & Development Bryce Sylvester said that from an economic development perspective, both projects bring new buildings to Lakewood's commercial corridors, which will generate new annual real estate taxes and income taxes.
"Once both operations are up and running, the annual fee is analogous to a company moving to Lakewood with a $5 million payroll," Sylvester said.

Q: Duda sobre el comportamiento de lc_time_names en MySQL La documentación de MySQL indica que para controlar el lenguaje en que se presentan los nombres de días y de meses, así como sus abreviaciones se ha de usar lc_time_names.
De modo que para establecer esa configuración a castellano yo hago por ejemplo:
SET lc_time_names = 'es_ES';

Sin embargo, no leo nada en la documentación sobre qué alcance tiene esa consulta, o sea, si es efectiva solamente para ese contexto en que la ejecuto o si establece algún tipo de configuración definitiva en el manejador de base de datos hasta que se vuelva a cambiar por otra cosa.
¿Cuál sería entonces el alcance de SET lc_time_names?

A: Al utilizar SET para modificar variables del sistema, puedes conseguir que:

*

*La modificación sea permanente usando GLOBAL (o @@global.), ya que establece el valor de la variable a nivel global.
SET GLOBAL lc_time_names = 'es_ES';
SET @@global.lc_time_names = 'es_ES';

*La modificación sea para la sesión ("temporal"), usando SESSION (o @@session. o @@), ya que establece el valor de la variable solo para sesión en curso.
SET SESSION lc_time_names = 'es_ES';
SET @@session.lc_time_names = 'es_ES';
SET @@lc_time_names = 'es_ES';

Notas:

*

*LOCAL y @@local. son sinonimos de SESSION y @@session.

*Si no se agrega un modificador, SET cambia la variable para la sesión.

Textile management is an interdisciplinary research subject where management issues in the textile and fashion industry (i.e. the value chain of textile products from concept to customer) are studied. Textile management can be described as studies of practices related to the textile and fashion industry, including studies of the organization and management of textile and fashion-related supply and demand chains, including design and product design, product development,  production and manufacturing processes, procurement, distribution and logistics, marketing, market communication and merchandising, retailing, consumer analyses, consumer behaviour, sustainability etc. The reverse flow is also addressed, the aim of which is to recreate lost value, such as returns management, organization of recycling and reuse, etc.

Researchers within Textile management have different backgrounds and the diversity mirrors the wide range of perspectives. Thus, Textile management is a multi- and interdisciplinary research area, i.e. a cluster of fields, which borrows different theoretical lenses and uses them in an applied setting. Researchers study different phenomenon, from entrepreneurship and innovation to integration of sustainability within the industry and local production of fashion. The diversity is also mirrored in used research methods and views of knowledge. Qualitative methods (e.g. to understand ethics and moral within supply chains and local, slow production) as well as quantitative methods (e.g. to develop traceability systems).

The discipline of Textile Management and related subjects (i.e. Textile and Apparel Management (TAM) and Fashion management) is a word wide area of education that, along similar lines, focuses on the study of textile & fashion businesses and value chains, entrepreneurship and consumers. There are educations at both bachelor (B. Sc), master (M. Sc.) as well as Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D) levels in different countries such as Sweden, France, Romania, USA and UK.

Lehman Professor Examines an Oft-Ignored Part of New York Latino History
Assistant English Professor J. Bret Maney
By LISA HIRSCHFIELD
Welcome to #FacultyMondays, where we update you on some of the exciting projects Lehman's world-class faculty have brewing.
That brings us to New York's Catskills region. In the mid-20th century, it was the go-to summer destination for New Yorkers eager to escape the city's heat. The influx of Jewish families who vacationed there earned it the nickname, the "Borscht Belt," but it was also home to a contingent of Spanish-speaking immigrants who left their mark—and were often overlooked by history.
Enter J. Bret Maney, an assistant English professor at Lehman. Supported by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-US Latino Digital Humanities grant, he and Manhattan College professor Cristina Pérez Jiménez are building a digital archive of Catskills sites that were hot spots for Spaniards, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and others of Latin American descent from the late 19th century through the 1970s.
"We see the project as part of a larger effort to employ digital humanities tools to recover Latinx experiences and culture, especially prior to the 1960s, so often marginalized in dominant accounts," Maney said.
For decades, whole families would make the three-hour trek by car or bus from New York City's barrios to the Catskills. They would stay in the area's Spanish villas—many of which were owned by people of Latin descent—swim in the lakes and rivers, dine on traditional Spanish cuisine, and enjoy music from artists like Tito Puente and Joe Bataan.
The website will include an interactive map so that visitors can explore the region and discover digitized cultural materials connected to these long-gone resorts, hotels, restaurants, and villas.
A further iteration will expand on the stories of the people, places, and objects that testify to the cultural richness of the Latino Catskills.

Christianity for the Rest of Us: How the Neighborhood Church Is Transforming the Faith
Diana Butler Bass, Author, Diana Butler Bass, Author . Harper San Francisco $23.95 (336p) ISBN 978-0-06-083694-8
STRENGTH FOR THE JOURNEY: A Pilgrimage of Faith in Community
BROKEN WE KNEEL: Reflections on Faith and Citizenship
A People's History of Christianity: The Other Side of the Story
Grounded: Finding God in the World-A Spiritual Revolution
Most pundits will tell you that the mainline churches—Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Congregationalists and Disciples of Christ—are in decline: it is now commonplace to assume that liberal churches are doomed and only evangelical churches are growing. Think again, says Butler Bass (The Practicing Congregation ) in this challenging and hopeful book, which summarizes the findings of a three-year study funded by the Lilly Endowment. Yes, many mainline churches are struggling, but not because liberal Christianity is a contradiction in terms. Rather, the old neighborhood Protestant church has fallen on hard times because the old neighborhood has been replaced by a strip mall. And many mainline churches are thriving. Butler Bass showcases 10 of them, including Redeemer UCC in New Haven, Conn., and Saint Mark (Lutheran) in Yorktown, Va. She then examines 10 practices, from hospitality to worship to vigorous theological discussion, and posits that these practices are the heartbeat of vital mainline churches. Her provocative conclusions include the observation that today's mainliners have redefined politics by favoring bottom-up acts of service over structural change. And, she says, the thriving congregations are neither red nor blue, but purple—a mix of Democrats and Republicans. This is Bass's best book yet. (Oct.)

Tired of politics? #VoteGardy instead!
New Year's Eve is generally a day of celebration and hope. People gather with family and friends to remember the year with all its ups and downs, reflecting on what was and what might have been, and look forward to a new year filled hopes for what could be. But on December 31, 1972, the baseball world was rocked with the tragic news that one of their own, a man of great talent and even greater character, lost his life in a plane crash while on a mission to bring much needed supplies to earthquake survivors in Nicaragua.
Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker, known to the baseball world as Roberto Clemente, was born in Puerto Rico and drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates. While not the first Hispanic to play major league ball, Clemente was the first to rack up so many achievements that eventually secured him a spot in the Hall of Fame. Over his 18 years with the Steel City's Bucs, the outfielder excelled on the ball field, but even more importantly, he excelled at quietly helping others in need, including charity work at home in Puerto Rico.
After Clemente's death, the MLB Commissioner's Award was renamed The Roberto Clemente Award and is given to the player who "best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement, and the individual's contribution to his team". Each year, every MLB team nominates a player they feel best represents these values. In honor of the winner, a vehicle and cash are donated to the winner's chosen charity, with additional donations to the Roberto Clemente Sports City in Puerto Rico that provides local children sports opportunities to pursue their dreams.
This year, the New York Yankees have nominated Brett Gardner for the Roberto Clemente Award. Like Clemente, Gardner is a quiet man from humble roots, with strong character, and good values both on and off the field. Like Clemente, Gardner was raised on a farm, the son of a father who taught the value of character, respect, hard work, and persistence. Like Clemente, Gardner was taught to use the gifts God gave him to the best of his ability. Like Clemente, Gardner has stayed loyal to one team and is a positive influence on his teammates. Like Clemente, Gardner is an outfielder with a strong arm and an upbeat and "never quit" attitude, playing hard every game while supporting his teammates. Like Clemente, Gardner's work ethic has helped him as he struggled to overcome injuries that might have kept less resilient players off the field. And like Clemente, Gardner is a family man with a generous heart and a compassion to reach out to his community and help those in need.
Brett Gardner and his family are actively involved in several community outreach organizations, including visiting children in hospitals and at the Ronald McDonald House (South Carolina and NYC), which is also home to a therapy dog, "Gardy", donated by the Gardners for the children receiving hospital care. The Gardner family is also involved with the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program providing Christmas gifts to children in need and also assist in helping the Taylor Hooton Foundation's Advisory Board to educate youth about performance-enhancing drugs. This compassionate and generous spirit exemplifies Roberto Clemente's mission to help others wherever and whenever possible.
We are proud of the Yankees for choosing Brett Gardner and believe his life choices honor the example and memory of Roberto Clemente.
To cast your vote for Brett Gardner, simply post #VoteGardy on Twitter (@MLB) and Facebook.com/MLB. Deadline for fan voting is coming up soon — October 2 — so cast your vote early and often!
