Hello! It's late, and today has been a crazy day, so I'm going to go straight into my weekly reading update, WWW Wednesday. WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you'll read next?
What are you currently reading?
I am currently reading The Only Road, by Alexandra Diaz and The School for Good and Evil, by Soman Chainani. The School for Good and Evil is a really interesting book. When I read it for the first time, I loved it. I had the reaction of 'that's the best book I've read!' I rated it 5 stars and could find no flaws. Now, my opinion has very much changed. After reading it quite a few times, there are a few little things that stick out to me, bother me, and make me like the book a little less. I think that this is maybe the third time I've read The Only Road, and I really like it. I reviewed it a while ago, but it's a much shorter and less complete review, mostly made up of a summary, but it does show my opinions though!
What did you recently finish reading?
I recently finished reading Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, by Dusti Bowling and The Girl Who Drank the Moon, by Kelly Barnhill. I really love Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, and I think that The Girl Who Drank the Moon is an incredible book, and that every one of you should go read it right now. I'm not kidding. It has magic, investigates what magic really is, and has a girl named Luna, a witch named Xan, a swamp monster named Glerk and a really sweet dragon named Fyrian, to name a few. So if your like fantasy, if you like adventure, if you've ever considered picking up a book to read, this books for you. And because this isn't supposed to be my review of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, (although I want to have a review coming relatively soon), I'll move on now. I guess. I will.
If you want to see all the books I've read so far this year, check out my Goodreads, where I (mostly) keep up with all the books I read.
What do you think you'll read next?
Next, I'm going to continue to rerereread the OBOB (Oregon Battle of the Books, a reading competition comprehension thing that I'm doing) books, and I think more specifically I'll reread The Novice, by Taran Matharu, The First Rule of Punk, by Celia C. Perez and It Ain't So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas!
What are you currently reading? Have you read any of the books I mentioned? Chat with me in the comments below!

Skin the Snake
Overview[edit | edit source]
- Go to the north shore and kill the Naga boss
- See Miller Quang for your reward
Obtained from
- Miller Quang who is in Linkei Township, which is is located in Haiju Lagoon
- Sentimental Treasures which can be obtained from Miller Quang also
- 150 Gold
- Monastery Credit
- I was hoping you would come around again, <name>! Ever since you retrieved my Old Chest for me, an idea has been forming in my mind. Before the rest of the villagers left, a number of them went to take out the Naga and reclaim our lands. According to the few survivors, they were making good headway until they came up against one particularly nasty Naga. He took out most of them before they even had a chance to react. There were only a handful that managed to flee, and those who did packed up their things that very day and headed to the city. But I have been thinking, if anyone can kill that Naga boss, you can, and maybe, if we can get rid of this Naga, we can convince the other villagers that it is safe to return.
Reward Dialogue
- I knew you could do it! Well, you sure have made this old man happy. I bet the rest of the villagers will return home right away. We should have a party! Yes, a "welcome home" celebration. Hmm...I have a lot of planning to do. There is the food list, the guest list, decorations... Goodness, I'd better get right to work. Thanks again, <name>!"
Walkthrough[edit | edit source]
The naga boss Xsshsss Zsss can be found on the beach on the north-western shores of Haiju Lagoon, south-west of Daochu Village (see map). He is not hard to kill if you first take out his body guard. Just stay on the move to avoid his Spirit Rift.
It is worth accepting the To Zen Daijun quest first so you can utilize the extra four NPC henchmen.

So I was thinking about my last post where I listed the name of numerous people who were forced out of their jobs for the crime of disagreeing with the the White House junta's policies. These people, as I noted earlier, were generally career military, diplomats, or other government officials. Their jobs routinely entailed that they support and defend policies which they might not agree with. That our administration has gone so far as to alienate them says a lot about how extreme many view White House policies.
Who reads what I write? Most of us are programmers, bank tellers, baristas, waitstaff, book sellers and maybe a hooker or two. If we screw up -- give someone the wrong change, forget their order, give them herpes -- the world does not recoil in horror. People do not die if my boss gives me bad specifications. I cannot even begin to imagine the awesome weight of responsibility on the shoulders of the brave women and men who serve our country.
And this is why, after Bush leaves office, I think he should be a college professor. One time I was frustrated trying to write some code in C when I realized I wanted to take a class in the language and learn in a structured environment. So I called up a local college after failing to find a class teaching the C language and someone who introduced himself as the head of the computer science department informed me that they do not teach C. Seems it's an obsolete language and object-oriented programming is the future.
Oh really?
This guy lives in an ivory tower and is presuming to know what my work in the trenches is like. This is why I am so careful about hiring people fresh out of college. Some of them are great but others have lofty ideals about how things are supposed to be and those charming little ideals get eaten for breakfast when you're faced with budget constraints, tight deadlines, incomplete or incorrect specifications.
In the case of this professor's comments, just about any programmer whose been around for a few years and worked in a few languages (particularly languages in multiple programming paradigms) can tell you two things:
- C is not obsolete
- Object oriented programming is not the future
(Side note: The latter assertion may be a bit more controversial to programmers who only know C++ or Java, two partially object-oriented languages. However, once you've worked with functional or logic-oriented languages, you realize that there are problems that are very difficult to solve with OO code but are trivial with a little dash of the lambda or first-order calculi.)
So how did this professor get this so horribly wrong? It's simple, really. His primary goal is to teach students. He also has to keep abreast of the latest research in his field and those latest changes typically don't involve things such as switching from a quick sort to a merge sort at the bottom of nested loops in C.
Programmers in the field have different goals. We have to deliver software to our customers. Sometimes we keep abreast of cutting edge research in our fields but we're probably more interested in new tools in our field which will actually make our lives easier -- not esoteric discussions about traits versus Java interfaces. After a while we learn to use these tools when it's clearly practical to do so. If a programmer's boss hears about a great new "XML database", the programmer is right to be sceptical.
And that's what's going on in the White House. Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz and others seem to be locked in an ivory tower. They have this nifty theory that if we kill enough of the right (or wrong) people, the world will be a better place. Unfortunately, those in the field who have honest, practical experience keep telling them that they're wrong but the White House doesn't listen. The White House claims that we're winning in Iraq when the Pentagon says we're not. Ask yourself why several military lawyers requested reassignment away from Guatanamo because they knew that ignoring the prisoner's basic rights was wrong. Ask yourself why L. Paul Bremer, a man with no military experience, thought it was a good idea to turn the entire Iraqi army into unemployed men with guns -- a move that helped fuel the insurgency though the people working with him tried to get him to change his mind.
And this is the problem. People with strange ideas about how they would like the world to act who have no idea what the real world is like are making decisions and refusing to admit that maybe, just maybe, killing everyone you don't like is not a good idea. Maybe instead of guessing how the world works they should go out there and actually talk to those who don't have to guess. Or maybe they should learn that "plays well with others" is not just for Kindergarten.
Note: Not all college professors are as bad as the one I cited. Many have extensive industry experience and bring practical knowledge to the classroom. I always liked those classes the best.

Over-testing. Test validity. Test reliability. Testing narrowing the curriculum. Value Added Measures for rating teachers. School grades. The killing of arts programs. Standards and national standards. No Child Left Behind. Race To the Top. Scripted curriculum. Teacher demoralization. Drop out rates and graduation rates. STEM and STEAM. Reading Wars. Tenure. Teacher pay, teacher turn-over, and teacher retention.
The list of issues surrounding public education goes on and on and on. And we debate all these issues over and over online and at school board meetings. But all of these little issues are, to a certain extent, a smoke screen distracting us from what has become the real issue. The only issue.
Near the beginning of my teaching career, nearly twenty years ago, back when Florida was just beginning its education reform policies under then governor, now presidential candidate, Jeb Bush, I was at a district workshop at the beginning of the school year. The workshop leaders spent considerable time explaining how the new FCAT testing would work, how schools would be graded, and how students in low performing schools would be able to get vouchers to go to private schools.
An older teacher approached some of us at the front of the school auditorium, where we were talking during a break. As we talked about the merits and problems of this new system, she said something I will never forget for its prescience. "You know what this is really all about, don't you? Give it some time, but within 20 years they will be trying to shut down the public schools."
Though I didn't say it to her, I thought she was being paranoid. I now realize she was absolutely right.
It is easy to get lost in a shuffle of competing issues in education. There are so many things wrong. I know–I think about them and write about them and draw cartoons about them nearly every day. But what I've come to realize is that what is at stake is the future of public education.
The privatizers and those who support their agenda use terms like public school monopoly and government schools. They talk about school choice and market-based reforms as if they are the silver bullets that will create an educational utopia where every child will have a cornucopia of excellent school choices. They talk as if they are altruistic, children-first saviors of our nation's educational future.
Here's what school choice really means: the one product you won't be able to chose is an excellent public school education at a local school with career teachers who are motivated by their love of teaching and kids, with a rich curriculum of core subjects and the arts that invests in children's minds, not just in test scores.
Everything that was supposed to improve public schools over the last twenty years was actually designed to ruin them, to make families want to look for alternatives.
By using vouchers, which allow parents to take their child to any school, religious or otherwise, using public funds, by promoting parent trigger laws, which encourage parents to hand their public schools over to private, for-profit companies, by encouraging charter schools and private virtual schools, by funding political campaigns that will put pro-privatization candidates on local school boards (which has happened in my own district), anti-public school forces have been chipping away at public schools bit by bit. And private companies are reaping the rewards, making billions of dollars by running these for-profit schools, by creating standardized tests and the textbooks and standardized test-prep materials that go with them.
It is the commodification of education, education as a product, education as just another thing to buy.
Two questions need to be answered.
1. Are our public schools really failing?
2. Should we replace public schools with for-profit schools in the name of school choice?
Our schools are not failing. Are they perfect? No. They vary in quality from state to state, district to district, and within districts. The one constant, though, is that the higher a poverty rate at a school, the harder it is to educate the students. Standardized test scores are more a barometer of poverty and wealth than of educational quality. In middle class and wealthy districts, our students generally out-perform other nations.
Should we replace our public schools with for-profit, free market schools? If you are ideologically of the opinion that free market solutions are always best, then you will say yes based on your ideology.
Ideology aside, though, charter schools do not, on the whole, perform any better than their public school counterparts on test scores (though I hate using test scores as evidence). Some charters are excellent (I have a friend who teaches at an excellent school for the arts), but charter schools also have a record of financial scandals, mid-year closures, and profiteering that makes them more a gamble than a sure bet. In other words, the quality of private schools and charter schools varies just as much, if not more, than the quality of public schools.
Public schools serve the community they are in. They give students from different walks of life, different religions, different races, a chance to learn, and live, and work and play together. At their best they are a microcosm of American society at its best. Public schools take any student, without applications, without lotteries, without question. Public schools are democratically controlled and are open to public input, public scrutiny, and public oversight. Public schools cannot solve all of societies problems, but they can make a difference nonetheless.
If you want to maintain public schools, have an say in how they run through a local school board, and not have to go shopping around for the best educational "product," it is time to speak up in favor of public schools. When you give up on public schools, you give up the right to have a say in the schools.
Public education and public school teachers are up against billionaire reformers who know nothing about education, but plenty about making money and using politics to help them make more of it. There are other issues in education, but they all come back to this one, big issue. They want to shut down public education. The scary thing is, I think most parents seem to be unaware that it is happening. Many teachers, I think, are just waking up to what is happening.
Our own children are out of public school now. My son is in college and our daughter just graduated and is getting ready to start college. The only things that made us unhappy with their schooling the past 15 years is the ways in which "education reform" messed up the system and made their schooling all about the scores, all about grades, all about jumping through hoops. What we loved about their schooling was the fact that they had many, many outstanding, caring, creative teachers who helped them to grow academically and personally and invested in them as whole people. They looked at our students, at all students, and saw human potential.
Not that I'm ready to contemplate grandparent-hood just yet, but my fear is that by the time I have grandchildren, things will be different. I fear that there will be many school choices, but public schools won't be one of them. I fear that the schools they attend will be run by people who look at the students in their care and see, not human potential, but potential profits.

Brimpton Common
Brimpton Common is a village in Berkshire, England. It is part of Brimpton Parish, and part of the Benefice of Aldermaston and Woolhampton in the Diocese of Oxford. It is in the Aldermaston Ward of West Berkshire Council.
It has a population of just under 150. The majority of the housing stock is detached with generous size plots. There is a mixture of late 19th century estate and farm-workers' homes (some terraced or semi-detached), plus a post-war ribbon development of larger homes along Brimpton Lane, The Byway and Kingsclere Road.
Brimpton Common is the most westerly of a series of former medieval "commons" to the south of three rivers between Newbury and Reading: River Enborne, River Kennet and River Thames, the other commons being Tadley Common, Silchester Common, Mortimer Common, Wokefield Common and Burghfield Common.
The commons are flat land about 100 metres above sea level and the highest land between the watercourses to north and south. They are the remains of a marine sedimentation laid down in Tertiary times, subsequently raised by the uplift of the land in later geological times. A layer of clay between 0.5 and 1.0 metres thick provided an acidic topsoil on which the native vegetation was pine, heather and associated species. Below this was a bed of gravel, up to 3 metres deep. All of the exploitable gravel in Brimpton Common has now been extracted and the land has been restored to a mixture of agricultural land and fishing lake.
There are no shops in Brimpton Common, but the local employment includes: AWE Blacknest, a major centre for international seismological research; Lakeside Garden Centre,[1] The Pineapple Public House[2] plus a few small businesses surrounding AWE Blacknest.
The Pineapple is 900 years old and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It was frequently used by shepherds and drovers as an overnight stop. The name is derived from the pine forest that once surrounded the area, a pine apple being a local name for a pine cone. The furniture inside the pub is noteworthy. It was made by a local craftsman using only a chainsaw and chisel and carved from the last of the English elm. For many years up to the 1990s its local worthies included "Cowboy Roy" (who lived in a wild-west mock-up in nearby Haughurst Hill) and Gerry the Poacher, and their portraits once hung on either side of the fireplace in the public bar.
Notable residents[edit]
There have been notable residents in Brimpton Common:
- Ruth Ellis: the last woman to be hanged in England. Although born in Wales, she grew up in Brimpton Common, just along the road from The Pineapple, and attended Brimpton Primary School. Her family moved to London when she was 15 years old.
- Victor Gollancz, the left-wing publisher owned Lane End in the 1940s and for a number of years it subsequently became the weekend retreat of the then Minister of Health Aneurin Bevan and his wife Jennie Lee.
- Ron Goodwin, British composer and conductor, lived at Blacknest Cottage, Brimpton Common, Berkshire, where he died on 8 January 2003, aged 77. He is buried at St Paul's Churchyard, Ashford Hill, Hampshire.

Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils were recently photographed by Katya Nikolaychuk for a feature in the Ukrainian Jetsetter portal, two months after the WTA star opened up about their relationship for the BBC Sport website.
As professional tennis players, Svitolina and Monfils have known each other for years, but there wasn't much going on between them in the past, as the Ukrainian was in a long-term relationship. Then, at the end of last year, when Svitolina won the WTA Finals in Singapore, she went to celebrate her victory in Paris, Monfils' birthplace. After posting on Instagram a restaurant photo with her friends, Monfils wrote to her, then they met and never again separated. Even though Svitolina lives in London and Monfils in Geneve, destiny wanted them to be in Paris at the same moment.
Recently, Monfils paid his first visit to Ukraine and they both enjoyed Kiev, Odessa, as well as Ukrainian cuisine.
Svitolina is happy to have a tennis pro boyfriend, as they easily understand each other and are able to travel together to most tournaments during the long tennis season.
In the interview, Svitolina also gives some beauty tips (one of them is lymphatic drainage) and says how before big tournaments she always visits her hairdresser, undergoes a series of massages and does face masks.

NOTE: To aid in the visualization, check out the thread "The return of Stacy the Asian pharmacist and Miranda!" in the Sex Stories section of the forum. Trust me, it'll be worth it! It's a bright, beautiful weekend day, and Stacy the Asian pharmacist is on her way home after an early afternoon of playing tennis with a friend. She's changed out of her white tennis shirt and into a dark brown halter top, which shows off her slender shoulders and accentuates her little B-cup breasts.
She still has on her white tennis skirt though, as she didn't have time to change fully, since she's in a rush to pick up her kids from day care.
Her smooth slender-yet-shapely legs work the gas and brakes as she weaves her mini-van through traffic, trying to get to the center before the kids are let out for the day. Stacy figures she'd better call the center to let them know she's on her way, just in case.but as she fumbles for her cell, it slips out of her hand and onto the passenger side of the floor.
"Oh, shit!" Stacy swears with a shake of her head, but glances at the road in front of her: there's cars to her left and right, but in front of her it's clear. She quickly reaches down, keeping the wheel steady as her fingers snag the phone, but.BAM!!
A sudden impact brings her car to a screeching halt as she reflexively slams on the brakes. Luckily no one slams into her from behind, but horns are honking everywhere as cars weave around hers, trying to avoid getting caught up in the accident.
The impact wasn't quite hard enough for her airbag to deploy, and her body shaking, Stacy sits up to see what's happened. On the road crunched up in front of her car is a white BMW, its rear caved in almost completely.
A silver-haired man is the only one in the car, and he's rubbing his neck as he turns his head slowly from side to side. His airbag hasn't deployed either.
Stacy realizes at once that the man must have changed lanes in the split second she had reached down to get her phone. Stacy checks cautiously for traffic, and all the cars are giving them a wide berth as they swerve around on either side. Stacy does her best to stop herself from shaking, then carefully opens the door and steps out into the road.
She stays close to both cars, checking out her own as she passes it: the front hood appears to be almost completely undamaged, the grill taking the brunt of the impact. Stacy nibbles nervously on her lower lip as she approaches the driver of the other car. "Sir--? Sir, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" The man turns to look at Stacy, an angered expression on his face. "Of course I'm not alright, you stupid bitch!
You could've fucking killed me! Did you actually learn to drive, or did someone give you your license as a Christmas present?!" "I am so sorry," Stacy says again, close to tears at what she's done and how much worse it could've been. "I wasn't looking, I had dropped my phone, I--" "You dropped your phone!" the man says in disbelief.
"I could've been killed because you dropped your fucking phone? I should sue the life out of you! Your insurance better damn well cover this!" Oh my gosh, Stacy thinks, wondering what he's going to say when she tells him her insurance policy lapsed just the day before because she forgot to renew it.
Not only that, but she and her husband just spent a couple thousand dollars adding some improvements and repairs to their house. They don't have the money to fix his car, at least not right now--! Sirens in the distance, steadily growing closer. A police car pulls up behind Stacy's mini-van, and a tall, blonde policeman carefully gets out of his car.
He surveys the damage as he walks around to the driver's side of the man's car. "Ma'am, that's your van?" Stacy sighs heavily. "Yes." "Sir, are you okay?" The officer asks him.
"You capable of moving this car out of traffic?" The man nods. "Yeah." The officer turns slightly at the sound of another approaching police car.
He turns back to face Stacy and the man. "There's a little side-street right off the road over there, about fifty feet.
I want the two of you to pull over there, out of the main road so as not to incur any other damage to yourselves or anyone else. My partner that's just arrived and I will direct traffic to keep you safe until you've moved. Get going." The cop then turns and heads over to talk with the other officer, an older gentleman with glasses and dark hair peppered with silver. It only takes a couple minutes, but the two officers spread out and begin directing traffic while Stacy and the driver of the BMW move their cars off the road and down the side-street, which is bordered by large trees.
The younger officer gets in his squadcar and drives over. He gets out and walks over to Stacy and the man, who are both now standing near the smashed rear of the BMW. The officer takes out a pen and notepad. "I'm going to need both your names and licenses. Then I'd like you to tell me what happ--" RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!
The officer spins around as a white Lexus mini-cruiser goes sailing by on the main road at breakneck speed! The older officer has already gotten into his car and hit the sirens. The blonde cop looks back at Stacy and the man. "You two exchange insurance information and wait here!
I'll be back in a few minutes!" He turns and jumps into his own squad car, hitting the sirens and blasting down the road.* Stacy watches the squad car peel out, unaware the man from the BMW has started taking an interest in her, looking her up and down now that he's calmed down slightly. Her shapely little legs, her tight little ass, looking so spakable under her tennis mini, her thin waist, her pert little breasts, her sleek shoulders and small, thin lips.all are very enticing.
As she turns to him, the man lets off with a disarming smile, which causes Stacy to share her beautiful smile in turn.
The man--tall, well-built and youthful in appearance in spite of his silver hair, offers his hand. "Obviously, we got off on the wrong foot. I'm Lou." "Stacy," she says as she accepts the handshake.
"I'm really, really sorry about this. I had dropped my phone, and it was so stupid that I just wasn't looking when I reached for it--" "It's okay, it's okay," Lou says, waving her off. "Look, why don't we exchange insurance info, and that'll sort everything out." "I.I can't, I'm sorry," Stacy says, and then goes into detail about the lapse on her policy and the money she and her husband just spent fixing up the house.
Lou appears at first to be getting upset as Stacy explains, but then calms down as he takes another look at her breasts, looking so tantalizingly ready to be touched.
"Look, do you have any idea how much my car cost me?
You can see what the logo is, you know what price ranges those go for. Why should I spend the money to get it fixed and have my premiums go up?" "I know, I know," Stacy says, on the verge of tears. "I promise, my husband and I will make it up to you, just give us a chance--" "No," Lou says sternly, shaking his head. "I want my money now." "I don't have it!" "Well then, you gotta do a make-good." Stacy looks at him, puzzled.
"A what? What's that?" Lou exhales impatiently. "When networks make promises in advertising to sponsors that they'll put in certain numbers for their tv shows, and those tv shows don't do as well as projected, sponsors don't get as many customers checking out their product on tv as they were promised.
Stations have to do a make-good, where they pay the sponsors X number of dollars to make up for the lack of viewers. That's what we've got here: there's no reason why I should have to pay to get my car fixed, when it's your fault your insurance lapsed. So I think you have to do a make-good." Stacy considers what he's said, but she's still confused. "I don't.what do you want me to do.?" Lou licks his lips and smiles lasciviously at Stacy.
"You've got some nice lips. I love the feel of Asian lips wrapped around my cock." Stacy's eyes widen in shock. "Oh, no. No, no, no." "Oh yes. Yes, yes, yes," Lou says with a chuckle. He reaches out, grabbing Stacy by the waist and pulls her into his arms. She struggles to get free, but cries out "Hey!" in surprise as Lou reaches around and gives her a sharp snap on the ass, shocking her into silence. "You did a very bad thing, little lady.
It's all your fault and you know it. So unless you want me to start feeling some serious pain in my neck and back, then sue you and your husband out of house and home, I think you need to get with some sucky-sucky." Stacy stops struggling.
She looks away from him for a moment, considering how much this will cost her pride, as opposed to how much it could cost her family in the long run. "I do this, and you won't sue? Promise? Swear it?" Lou cups her chin in his hand and turns her face to look at him. "Long as you give the blowjob of a lifetime, I'll never mention this to a single soul. I'll say I wasn't at my car, and someone tagged me in a parking lot.
You do the same, and everything will be just fine, right?" Stacy nods reluctantly. "And that's it.that's all, a blowjob?" Lou thinks about it and reaches up, taking hold of one of the straps holding Stacy's top up. He starts to pull it off her shoulder, but Stacy swats his hand away.
Lou gives her another firmer smack on her butt, making her jump slightly and reaffirming who's boss. "I want to see your tits and play with them while you suck me off. And you better be a good girl and swallow every last damn drop, understand?" Stacy makes a disgusted groan, but says nothing.
She glances back at the main road; pulled off to the side like this, no one can really see them unless they were to stop their car and walk up to the cars, so there's that much to be grateful for. Lou takes Stacy's hand and leads her back to her mini-van. With a light sigh, Stacy opens the large sliding door on the side and climbs in, followed by Lou, who closes the door firmly behind them. Stacy sits on the seat about a foot away from Lou, looking at him uneasily.
"Aren't you going to take it out.?" Lou snickers and shakes his head. "You're my little geisha. I want you doing the work, starting with showing me those beautiful little tits of yours." Stacy frowns but does as she's told, reaching up and pulling off her halter straps. "Geisha is Japanese," she says angrily. "I'm from Vietnam." "Girl, you could be the last eskimo on Earth for all I care.
You just better get to slurping on my meat," Lou says impatiently. With a light gulp, Stacy pulls her top down, exposing her beautiful creamy breasts.
Lou whistles, liking what he sees. "Beautiful. Now get to it, and start getting to work on my cock." Stacy frowns again as she reaches over, surprised at how steady her hands are as she undoes Lou's belt and unzips his pants. Trying not to look at it, she reaches in and grabs firm hold of his penis.
She's amazed, disbelieving at how big it feels. But then she yanks it out, revealing an exeptionally thick tool. She stares at it a moment, almost hypnotized by its sleek aesthetic beauty. Before Stacy realizes what she's doing, she's left her spot on the long seat and is kneeling down in front of Lou, opening his pants wider to allow his cock and balls to breathe.
Lou lifts his hips up slightly as he pulls his pants down around his knees.sighing contentedly with a smile on his face as he sits back and waits for his little sucky-sucky slave to perform her duty. I'm just doing this so that he'll keep quiet, and we can avoid a lawsuit, Stacy tries to convince herself, although she can't help but fight the urge to lick her lips as she stares at Lou's tool, which is so thick that her small, slim fingers can barely hold onto it.
With a little sigh, she wraps her mouth around the tip of Lou's cock, slurping on it like a lollipop a few times, getting it nice and slicked up. She pulls her lips off it and kisses it lightly, blowing on it to watch it throb gratefully in her hand, then kissing it again, hoping he likes what she's doing, so that he keeps his word.
She glances up and sees Lou looking down at her, a wide grin spread across his face. So she goes back to work, kissing the tip of his cock, then raising it up in her little hand so she can lick the underside from base to head, pleased to hear him moan in accepting pleasure.
Stacy leans forward on her knees a bit, bracing her hand against one of Lou's legs as she sucks on the tip a little bit more, then slips a few inches of his cock more fully into her mouth.
She can feel him run his fingers through her dark shoulder-length hair as she starts sucking on his cock more earnestly, surprised that his precum tastes so good. Before long, Stacy is swallowing some sperm that's shot out a bit prematurely into her mouth, even while Lou leans over her and reaches down, fondling her breasts. Stacy's nipples harden quickly in Lou's strong, skillful hands as they knead the soft flesh, squeezing her breasts and expertly pinching her nipples just hard enough that the pleasureful tingle of the sensation shoots up her spine.
Stacy finds herself responding to it by shoving some more of his cock into her mouth and bobbing her head up and down more passionately, eager to get some more of that tasty sperm to slide down her throat. She'd never have believed before this, even with all that had been done to her before**, that she'd ever go down on another man that wasn't her husband so lovingly and with such devotion. But fuck! if Lou's sperm isn't the best she's tasted in a while--!
It's then, as he cums hard down her throat once more, his cock exploding in her mouth as his whole body shakes, that Stacy remembers that she had accidentally skipped lunch today, so of course she's starving for any nourishment she can get! Stacy greedily, happily gulps down Lou's sperm, doing her best to get every drop as he'd ordered. As she pulls her mouth free, she swipes some dribbling seed from the underside of his cock with her finger, and sucks it off the digit nice and slow so that he can see.
The two of them sit in silence a moment, Lou on the long seat and Stacy on the floor in front of him--master and servant--both of them catching their breath. After a little bit, Lou reaches down, offering Stacy his hands. She accepts, thinking he's helping her to her feet. But as she stands, he lets go of her hands and grabs onto her waist, sitting her on his lap. He wraps one arm around her waist to hold her in place while his other hand reaches under her skirt, beginning to pull down her panties!
"Wait--what are you doing?! We didn't agree to this!" Stacy shouts at him. "Premiums are high, honey.gotta make sure I get my money's worth out of you," Lou says as he rips her white cotton panties down around her thighs.
"Stop, stop, STOP!" Stacy yells at him, grabbing his arm and trying to wiggle out of his grip.but Lou's grip is far too strong, and he chuckles in amusement as his little mistress struggles so hard to no effect. Finally, Lou gets a bit fed up with the struggle, and shoves a couple of fingers into Stacy's tight twat. She cries out in surprise and tries harder to get free, but Lou pulls her forward with his arm, into an awkward position against his chest so that the Asian pharmacist has no leverage as he begins to masturbate her fiercely.
"S-STOP!!" Stacy cries, tears spilling down her face as memories of similar abuses at the hands of other men come back to her, but along with the memories comes the shameful thrill she felt as each finger, each tongue, each hard cock, penetrated her.
She never told her husband about the incidents.but that was as much to keep the fact that she had been secretly, shamefully thrilled when each man had finished cumming inside her, as much as not wanting the knowledge of what happened to drive her husband crazy. Stacy feels her pussy beginning to lubricate now, and she knows that she'll soon have no control over when she cums, as her vagina just seems to give in to any man that so much as looks at it the right way. Her struggles become more frenzied, but eventually her fists pounding against Lou's chest and face turn to claws, tearing at his shirt as his slicked fingers bring her to a powerful forced orgasm and she cries out, collapsing in a heap of tears against his chest.
Lou's cock is hard as a rock as he dumps Stacy off of his lap and onto the chair, letting her take a moment to absorb what's happened to her, how helpless she is, and that her pussy is essentially his property.
Lou shakes his pants off fully and reaches over, pulling Stacy's panties down to her ankles. He opens her legs easily now, her body having given up the fight, and places her legs on top of his hips as he prepares to mount her.
"Please." Stacy moans through her tears, in shock at how easily she just lets men take her now. "Please.we didn't agree to this." "Oh, just shut up," Lou says with a chuckle, then begins pushing his cock inside her pussy, which starts to moisten even more at the entry. Did I know this was going to happen? Is this what I really wanted all along? Stacy thinks to herself, as Lou's cock enters her all the way, filling up her pussy, which is getting warmer by the second.
How could I think that all he'd want was a blowjob to keep him from suing us? Then, as an afterthought, I hope we have more RU-486 at the pharmacy!
Lou begins pumping his thick, hardened cock into Stacy's tight snatch, and even though she tries to fight it, she's soon moaning in rhythm with him, her hot pussy lubricating obediently, allowing him to go deeper and spill his seed into her. Stacy doesn't look in his eyes; instead she stares up at the ceiling as Lou fucks her, thinking to herself that this must be what prostitutes in Saigon feel like.eager to just have their john get done with them, for the deal to be complete.
Tears spill down her face as she realizes she can't even admit to herself that she's not enjoying it; the feel of Lou's thick prick--so much larger than her husband's--is like a drug to her pussy, which clamps onto it desperately, not wanting to ever let it slip out from inside her.
This just turns Lou on all the more, and he's soon pumping his cock furiously inside Stacy, who gives in to her lust and starts crying out in ecstacy. Before she realizes what she's doing, she's opening her mouth, allowing his tongue to enter it, then her own is greeting his and playing with it as they kiss.
Her legs, simply spread and dangling over the seat before, are now wrapped around Lou's waist and her arms are wrapped around his neck, holding on tightly as she now accepts him fully within her.
Before too long, Lou's blasting another hot load of sperm within Stacy's eager vagina, which absorbs it completely as her walls are well coated. Finally spent, Lou pulls out and sits back on the seat as Stacy's legs and arms drape back onto the seat.
Lou exhales heavily and looks over at Stacy, who is laying quietly in a type of shock; wondering if this is what she was meant for.to just service men who want to take her, no matter that she's married and has a loving family. Maybe she's meant to be simply property of whoever finds and chooses her.
She's brought out of her state as Lou slaps her playfully on her thigh. "Good girl," he says, satisfied. "You did a good fucking job, so off you go. We'd better both get out of here before that cop comes back." Stacy says nothing. She nods in understanding and sits up, slowly pulling her white cotton panties back up and refitting the straps on her halter top. She straightens her tennis mini skirt and watches passively as Lou tucks his prick back into his pants and jumps out of her mini-van without so much as a goodbye or thanks.
He heads back to his car and gets in, while Stacy just sits in her car, trying to come to terms with everything that's happened to her. An impatient honk from the BMW snaps her out of it, and she moves forward into the driver's seat. She turns the car back on, puts it into reverse and carefully backs out onto the main road.
She pauses on the shoulder, waiting expectantly for Lou to pull around and stop beside her, to say something. He doesn't; he pulls his car out onto the main road and speeds off into the distance, out of her life. Stacy frowns deeply. Even though her body is satisfied, and her pussy still throbs warmly from shameful pleasure, she has to fight back tears all the way to the day care center.

CC Sabathia goes two hitless innings as Yankees lose to Marlins
JUPITER, Fla. >> CC Sabathia spent four hours on the team bus to make his spring training debut.
The outing went much quicker.
Sabathia pitched two hitless innings Tuesday for the New York Yankees, who lost 1-0 to the Miami Marlins.
Sabathia threw only six pitches in the first, all strikes. The lone baserunner against him was Chris Johnson, who walked on a 3-2 pitch with two out in the second.
The trip Monday evening to Florida's east coast from the Yankees' complex in Tampa took a lot longer.
"That bus ride was terrible," the 35-year-old Sabathia said with a slight smile. "I'm too old to be riding on the bus, man. Maybe I'll take a helicopter next time."
Sabathia gave his pitching better reviews. It was his first outing since he entered an alcohol rehabilitation program last October.
"Got some quick outs, quick swings, threw everything, so it felt good," he said. "I felt good just to get back out there. It's fun to be competing again, and it went well."
Aaron Hicks two of the Yankees' five hits, including a double. Luis Cessa pitched two hitless innings.
Miami had only two hits, both in the seventh. Don Kelly singled and scored on a two-out single by Johnson.
Marlins starter Tom Koehler allowed three hits and a walk in three scoreless innings. David Phelps, a contender for the rotation, threw two scoreless innings.
Brad Hand, Mike Dunn, Craig Breslow and Dustin McGowan each pitched one hitless inning. A spot in the Miami bullpen became open with the loss of right-hander Carter Capps, who was to undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday.
Starting time
Sabathia threw 25 pitches, 16 for strikes.
"He threw the ball extremely well," manager Joe Girardi said. "He located extremely well, and that's what we wanted to see. He's throwing it where he wants to, and he's got movement."
Sabathia struck out Christian Yelich and Martin Prado.
"He kind of mowed us down pretty good," Miami manager Don Mattingly said.
Trainer's room
Yankees: LF Brett Gardner, who stayed behind in Tampa, took 31 swings during his first full on-field batting practice session since bruising his left wrist in last year's AL wild-card game loss to Houston. ... 2B Starlin Castro took batting practice one day after having a root canal.
Marlins: Slugger Giancarlo Stanton missed his second game in a row because of a sore right knee. He worked out before the game and ran, threw and hit.
"We're just testing it to see where it's at," president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. "We'll see how the knee responds."
Stanton will not play Wednesday but is expected to work out again.

One day my guest come home and told to me "Boma…I made a big mistake today cause I eat Mc Donald'ss for my lunch" than I just laugh and told her that she really made a big food mistake here in my town. Hi everyone my name is Boma and thank you for visiting my blog, I live in Yogyakarta since I was 5 and definitely love this place more than my hometown, Jakarta. No matter you are in first time, twice, three times or over but in case you want to visit Yogyakarta I recommend you to read my past article about 7 Freakin' Awesome Things to do in Yogyakarta within 3 days, it's brand new article that I made in 2018 and based on my own research related to my most wanted activities that my guest did during their stay in Boma House. Back to the main topic today I'm gonna share you about culinary that you should try if you want to eat like locals. There is always a question about what to eat here in Yogyakarta than I got some super good news or you.
No matter where you live try to go to Pasar Ngasem (Ngasem Market) where Plaza Ngasem located, this place is so unique and you will meet how the locals live by selling a snacks, fruits, housing tools and or sure the most authentic snacks and breakfast. Officially Pasar Ngasem is the front yard or Tamansari Water Castle and for sure you must visit our King's 2nd palace, if you live nearby Malioboro or Kraton than you can walk or ride with becak (the 3 wheels tuk-tuk) to go to Pasar Ngasem, it takes about 15 minutes ride with becak from Sultan Palace and cost about IDR35.000/becak (USD3). What you see below is the Plaza Ngasem, a nice courtyard where you can sit by and enjoying your day. If you lucky, our government often held some art performance in that stage too just like what they did for the FKY (Festival Kesenian Yogyakarta) a.k.a Yogyakarta Art Festival.
Now take a look what kind of local food that you can get:
Typical Local Breakfast for Everyone
This is what locals eat for breakfast and lunch, it consist of rice, brongkos (sweet-salt dark soup consist of tofu, bean, and egg) and fried chicken, than for another one I got rice, green cassava leave, and sunny egg than another one will be. I pay this awesome food for just IDR12.000 to IDR15.000 each and I ordered a glass of hot tea costs IDR2500, than I feel like in paradise, this all what you need to eat if you expecting eat like locals.
I uploading my Yogyakarta travel photos and sell it online, in case you interesting with the photos that you can buy it on shutterstock.
Typical Local Snack and Dish That You Should Try
Once I got my breakfast done, my wife ask me to go to Apem stall where located only few meters from us. Apem it self is typical local dish made from rice flour, sugar, and coconut milk. It taste sweet and looks like Japanese Dorayaki, the old lady that I meet there begin her Apem business since 5 am and ended at 11 am, she sell this delicious snack for just IDR2500/each or about USD1.5…for me I need 2 or three!
How to go to Pasar Ngasem?
Pasar Ngasem is located only 1 km from Malioboro street or Sultan Palace so if you life around that area you can take:
- Becak (tuk-tuk_ for just IDR35.000 (you will need 2 tuk-tuk if you big body person)
- Even more if you person who love walking you can simply walk or riding your bicycle
- Or if you travel in group you may consider to book a car with driver so he can drop us you and waiting while you enjoying the ambiance
Recommended Place to Stay near Pasar Ngasem
Through live near Pasar Ngasem than you can go both to Sultan Palace and Tamansari Water Castle easily cause this location is about 200 meter to Tamansari and 800 meter to Sultan Palace. Here is my personal recommendation for you:
- Neo Awana Plus – this hotel is only 1km to Tamansari and located in a town house complex with a lot of tasty street food at night. YOu may easily find meat ball, seafood or even traditional Javanese noodle
- Ayaartha – located in the prime area which 1km from Malioboro and Sultan Palace, Ayaartha staffs are awesome and humble to serve anyone who come to their hotel
- Cavinton – Cavinton is just 100 meter from Ayaartha and all rooms are quite large and feels so comfort to stay with family or friends
A good tips for me is…try to wake up earlier if you want to see how locals live cause we get used to wake up after morning pray around 4.30 am. I know for sure that you don't need to wake as us if you not taking a Borobudur Sunrise Tour, around 7 will be fine if you just want to try local breakfast just like what I wrote here. Now I would like to recommend you some hotels nearby this area where you can stay and sightseeing around easily:
- Phoenix Hotel (2 km from Pasar Ngasem) – Book through Agoda
- Santika Premier (2 km from Pasar Ngasem, just few meters from Phoenix) – Book through Agoda
- or taking our USD30 stay voucher if you expect to book through Airbnb

A Course in Miracles is a self-study system of spiritual awakening that teaches the way to inner peace and healing through the power of love and forgiveness. The Course in composed of three volumes: Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers, contained in one book.
The Text sets forth universal truths that lead us to a life of meaning, healing, and well-being. Themes include the importance of choosing love over fear, our eternal nature as expressions of the divine, our benevolent relationship to God, our immutable innocence, the power of the mind, distinguishing between truth and illusion, transforming "special" relationships to "holy" and withdrawing the authority we have attributed to external sources. The Text explains why we hurt and how to heal.
The Workbook for Students sets forth 365 days of exercises that assist the student o apply the principles to create practical and lasting life improvement. The Lessons begin very simply with just a few minutes' practice each day and eventually increase to generate a global makeover of one's thought system and life.
The Manual for Teachers delves into more details regarding the application of the Course, answering more specific questions, such as "Is reincarnation true?", "How is healing accomplished?", and "How will the world end?" ACIM considers all students to be teachers of God, so the Manual for Teachers is for everyone.
You can study the three sections of ACIM in any order. Since the Workbook is the key to mastering the Course in daily life, it is recommended that you go through the Workbook Lessons at the outset of your journey and visit the other volumes as you feel guided. Simultaneous study will enhance your understanding…
A Course in Miracles is one of the most profound spiritual teachings ever to come to humanity. In its gentle yet dynamic way, the Course has touched the lives of millions of people, relieved souls from the tyranny of fear, transformed circumstances that would take a miracle to heal, and brought peace of mind to the weary.
The following words from A Course in Miracles (ACIM) are probably the most frequently quoted words from the Course. They sum up the essence of profound work and carry implications which are not at all apparent to most upon first reading:
"The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is encompassing can have no opposite. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."
The Course is not about making a better world, but it is about making a more peaceful human existence through the agency of spirit and the memory of the Love of God that the "Internal Teacher" holds for all in that part of spirit called "mind". A better world will occur when minds are healed of their ego believes in separation and competing interests.
ACIM, then is not a religion, but a spiritual psychotherapy designed to help us to learn true forgiveness, which in turn produces healed relationships, changing our experience in the world to peace rather than turmoil.
*Excerpt from: A Course in Miracles Made Easy: Mastering the Journey from Fear to Love, author Alan Cohen

Lunch Box Book & Insulated Vacuum Bottle from Box Appetit Review
Box Appetit are a great shop which has a huge variety of lunch boxes, bottles and thermoses for any occasion. I decided to checkout their latest product the Lunch Box Book and a popular item their vacuum bottle.
Insulated Vacuum Bottle
I found this insulated bottle is perfect for hot or cold drinks, so is great for any time in the year. Hot drinks are kept hot for around 12 hours, while cold drinks are kept cool for 24 hours. The whole design with the rippled wall not only looks cool, but gives the bottle extra strength, and added grip.
The size is great is great as it fits nicely in my bag. I have found that this also saves me money, as I tend to buy coffee and water on the way to work, but now I can bring it with me from home. The seal is great and nothing leaks even when upside down. The leather connecter means I never lose my lid, and it gives it a nice addition to the look.
- Made from 304 stainless steel, polypropylene (BPA free), silicone and vegan leather
- Not microwave or dishwasher safe
- L7.5cm W7.5cm H22.5cm / L3″ W3″ H8.9″
- 500 ml / 17 fl oz
You can grab it for only £21.95, which is a pretty good price as I ended up stopping buying coffees and waters on my way to work.
Lunch Box Book
Squashed sandwiches and crushed crisps are commonplace in my bag. When I pack a lunch I normally chuck my sarnies in clingfilm and chuck them into my bag along with a bag of crisps. So I was excited to try this out.
I am in love with the colour, the lime green really sets the this apart from anything else. This colour then matched with a really unique design, was a stroke of genius. The whole things looks like a giant green book, and gives a fun element to the lunch experience.
Its incredibly tough and I had no sandwich incidents at all with it in my bag. The design even gives me a little area to place my sandwich, so I get my desk messy.
You can grab it for £14.95, which is great price for what you get.
Check Out all they have to offer:

text: Week 4 Term 2 Newsletter May 21, 2018 By Cristene Trenuela In N 2018 Term 2, Newsletters No Comments Coming up this Week: Week 4 21/05/18 Must Knows Monday – Mobile Library Bus Thursday – 2pm Weekly prayer meeting Friday – School Cross Country Coming up: Week 5 28/05/18 Tuesday – Drop in hour with Liz Thursday – 2pm Weekly prayer meeting Quick Links: Parent Handbook Message from Staff Kia ora koutou, I pray this newsletter finds you well. It is so nice to see the sun out again today, particularly as it makes such a difference to the children's learning in class when they are also able to get outside and enjoy physical activity while exploring their world. I was so blessed to see the positive affirmation given to Kendra last week for her newsletter contribution. When I originally decided that I wanted different staff members to write the newsletter message my intention was for our school community to have an insight into who each staff member is, as I believe that the basis of a strong partnership is trust and very rarely can we trust someone we don't know. I love reading what the staff decide to write, as it gives insight into the things they are passionate about, thinking about or care deeply about. In the busyness of the school day it is sometimes difficult for you to have an opportunity to connect with the different staff members, so I'm really glad you have the chance to build an understanding of who each person is through reading the newsletters. Last Wednesday we celebrated Support Staff Day. This is a national day to recognise the support staff who work in schools. Support Staff are often the people in a school whose work is very demanding and their work can often feel to be undervalued. As a teaching team we put on a morning tea to say thank you to our very dedicated and hardworking team of support staff – administrators, learning assistants and our caretaker. We are so thankful for this team, as they help to make a very demanding profession a manageable one. If you see one of our team of support staff I encourage you to affirm them in the great work they do. I look forward to seeing many of you at our school cross country on Friday. Blessings, Liz This Week's Memory Verse Celebrations Happy Birthday!Margaret Prima Dallis Salisbury General Notices School Cross Country – 25th May All children are required to compete (unless written permission is given to their teacher as to reasons why they are unable). Children are to come to school in either their school p.e. uniform or whanau coloured sport clothing, and are to report to their Whanau Group teacher when the bell rings.

Firstly, we are excited to say that the plans for a new learning block for Te Kakano are well underway. You should see the removal of the house between the playground and car park in the next month or two, and then the ground works for the new building will begin shortly after. The Christian Schools Trust is taking the lead on this project, taking input from us in regards to the direction the school is headed. Secondly, we were able to take another step in our partnership with the Christchurch Education Network Community of Learners. We have approved that the school will support the decisions made by a Stewardship Group for the network in regards to the direction and strategy of the CoL (Community of Learners) and have appointed Mark Larson to represent us on this. Thirdly, we are looking forward to having our Strategic Direction displayed on our school website soon, so you are able to know what we are expecting of the school leadership team. Finally, we would like to say thank you to our administrative team and BOT Finance Committee for their diligence as we have received positive feedback from our auditors about the way our school is being administered. 2018 Important Dates 2018 School Term Dates Term 2 starts: Monday 30 April Friday 25th May – Cross Country 9-11.30am Queens Birthday: Monday 4 June – No School Friday 8th June – School Disco!

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. Acts 1:9 (NIV)
His work in the flesh is finished. He has gone to the grave for us and came back. Now Jesus is suddenly is lifted up. He is taken up into the clouds in front of their eyes. It is His time to return to the Father. But what a way to go! Men just don´t fly up above the clouds like that outside of the movies. But Jesus is not a normal Man. He is the Son of God. On top of that, if God wants men to fly, it is completely within His power to lift them up. Marvelous? Unexplainable? Miraculous?
Today we tend to steer clear of anything touching the surreal. What we cannot explain, we doubt. If we cannot see something happening within the reason of science, we either mistrust it or push it out of our minds and try not to think about. But can we afford to do that when it comes to Christ? Could we admit the argument of the world, but place our hope in the power of God despite all that we know of science, physics and our entire universe? Can we let Jesus be lifted up higher than the clouds for us? Can we look beyond the skies and hope to find our Risen Lord way above and beyond even our own wildest dreams?
Dear Jesus,
There are so many amazing things to consider in You that it overwhelms our powers of reason. Please give us the strength of faith to believe all that You would have us believe about You! Let us give God the credit for being able to do things we cannot explain and cannot imagine. Be lifted up in our vision of You, in our hearts and in our praise now we pray!
