Author: Max Camille
This part is including of True Story, Blowjob, Cum Swallowing, Incest, Romance, Young genres.
Mabey she’s perfect!
The first thing I’d like to clear up is my user name. My name is Max, I am a dude. My ex-girlfriend’s name was Abbi Cammille Baberos. We broke up after some stupid deal with her dad. We still get together and fool around and stuff.
Infact, we are very close. I don’t have an account for this site because I am nervous about it showing up in the hands of a client, since my job is based mostly around children. thats where I get my user name/ my ex girlfriends user name.
This is her account, and not my own. I just have her permission to post. the secound thing I’d like to adress is a thankyou to the people who read my story. It means a lot! the final thing I’d like to adress is that Lexi does pay rent on my apartment. It was somthing she did with her parents and it is somthing she does with me. It is cheeper than a regular apartment, but it still does cost her some.
I went to bed that night completley and unterlly confused. I had grown up with Lexi, I had been there when she lost her first tooth, and when she broke her leg. I had been close with her brothers since we were close to the same age. But here I was raising my neices in my house including Lexi. Who just gave me the best blow job in the history of blow jobs.
When I awoke the next morning to Ashley climbing all over me expressing her need for ceral I was quickly to snap back to reality realizing that she needing to be fed. Ashley and I made a batch of pancakes and served it to everyone as they walked in one by one. Lexi was the last one in, but it was no secret to me or her that we were both thinking constently about last night. Lexi wore her hair up in a pony tail, with a blue long sleeve shirt and faded blue jeans. She took Ashley from her boster seat and took her upstairs to help her get dressed. She did stop, however to wink at me.
Chloe took Samantha to school before heading over to the highschool. I took Ashley to school before comming back home before work. I knew Lexi would be there waitting for me, and I was honestly extreamly nervous. When I arrived at the house, Lexi was in the kitchen doing dishes scrubbing them vigerously with her back to me. Her butt shaked as she used the sponge to rub the grind off the plates. I paused in the door way just staring at her. She seemed to notice me out of the corner of her eye and stoped and turned to face me.
“Good, your home.” She said wipping her hands on her aprons.
“What happened last night,” I asked not moving from my spot.
Lexi sighed, “I was embaressed that you caught me and I ended up giving you a blowjob.” She rubbed her head, “it was pretty good too.”
I walked from the kitchen to the living room and sunck into the couch pulling out my play station controler. I sat in and set up the T.V and began playing Call of Duty (yes, I love that game).
Lexi came over and snuggled in next to me picking up another controler and connecting it to the T.V. Before I knew it, Lexi and I were batteling out zombies in my faviorete game. No girl I had ever been with before would have played the video game with me, But Lexi did. Lexi and I didn’t talk anymore about last night. Instead we talked about her.
Lexi was taking a year off to raise money (online) to go to college with minimal student lones. Lexi was wanting to get her bachelors in jourrnalism and was planning on traveling to missouri to get her degree at Mizzou. She had had one boyfriend in her highschool exprences who ended up cheating on her. Lexi was one of those girls who if you pissed her off she would make your life hell.
Rather it was posting your small dick picks over the girls bathroom or if it was calling your dad at midnight to tell him you were having sex with a minor in the basement, lexi had made her ex boyfriends life hell. I honestly admired it. And as Lexi laughed at my embarresing story how I ended up accidently tripping a football player in highschool and he hung me by my underwear in the basket ball court (my school didnt do a damn thing about it). Lexi was making me feel honestly like a very special guy. Around noon, Lexi paused the game and looked at me with curiousity.
“I gave you a blow job, What are you going to give me in return.” It was so sudden and out of the blue I was caught off guard. I assumed it was her style senseing as she reachers her arma round my head gripping my hair and climbing on my lap. I could feel her arms wrap around me as she kissed every part of me very gracfully.
I kissed her back. I slowly took off her blue shirt revealing her victoria secret bombshell push up bra. She was so gorgous and so perfect. I trashed her stomach with my fingers as she leaned back in to kiss me. I felt her nails digging in to the back of my head, and her spine bend forward so her stomach was arches at me.
She kissed the side of my cheek slowly moving down to my lips. I grinned and ripped her bra off admiering her perfect tits. She was stunning. I grabbed the corner of her thighs and rocked her over my pants.
I felt her breast slip into my mouth perfectly working in sync with the rocking motioned. I could feel her tots go hard under my TOUNGE and soon I found myself amazed with the glorious function of her attached to my mouth. I just couldn’t help it. But unfortunately my phone went off on the table next to me. I looked at it to realize it was my co worker, Eli. He was calling saying his daughter had just thrown up at school and he needed me to come in early.
I was so angry at Eli in that moment. But I understood. I groaned and pulled Lexi off of me and finished getting ready before heading to work. I was a children’s dentist, so I worked with children all day. After a long day of work I returned home. Lexi had gotten everyone TAcobell so they had all already eaten.
I had a leftover Beanburrito before going upstairs for a shower. I haven’t been up there long when I heard the bathroom door open and I peaked out of the shower to see Lexi. She came over to me stripping an article of clothing with every step. I was left with Lexi standing there in front of me with LITTERALLY nothing on.
She was so stunning. She threw her blonde hair into a pony tail on the top of her head before sliding in. She was extreamly curvy in all the right places. Her breast were perfectly brought up facing me with full intention for me to to have them. Her pussy had been waxed recently and was open to my disposal. I moved closer to her my cock rising to life causing there to be a gap between the two of us.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck before kissing me deeply. I felt my hands move to her hips rocking her close to my dick. She chuckled and grabbed it and began an amazing handjob. She kissed my lips again before sinking down to the floor giving me another perfect blowjob. Her lips moved in sync with my moans as the oral sex began.
And with the water from the shower head poured around her face I could see somthing unlike anything ever before. She WAS the perfect girl. Absolutely in every way. There was no way this girl had a flaw. I felt her speed up until my balls swelled is hard I thought I was a nuclear bomb about to go off. I gripped the wall as I shot a load all over her face.
She smiled and rose up kissing me agin. I felt her body rub mine and my dick come back to life again. I couldn’t takemyef self anymore. I picked her up and kissed her as I carried her to the sink. I set her down on the counter positioning her with my dick. She nodded as I slowly pressed my dick inside her. She screamed a little and I realized how tight she was.
I knew she had only had one boyfriend and she had slept with him once years ago. She hadn’t had real sex since (not including the dildo). I listened to her moan as I rocked into her. I was patient to slowly move my dick all the way inside of her.
“God I feel you in my stomach.” She said.
I began to rock rapidly inside her. It took her everything not to scream. I felt her boobs bouncing on her skin and imagined how much it hurt. Without her taking her off my dick, j picked her up and carried her to the bedroom laying her on the bed. I began to rock into her climbing on top spreading her legs beside us. She loved every secound of it.
“I’m going to cum” I felt her whisper. I nodded and moved faster inside her like a jet taking off. She moaned trying to be quiet, but I felt her wet jucies flood my dick as she began to sigh. Her pussy tensed up underneath me. I grinned and began rocking again. Icould see he Suprise on her face with my determines to keep her going. I rocked again and again. Pounding into her. She moaned again and again until I felt my balls swell and I whispered
“I’m going to cum”.
She say up on her elbows watching my every move
“It’s okay, I’m on the pill.” And like that I was gone. I shot load after load into her. I felt her body overload and swell over her pissy and drip onto the bed.
“My God!” She said. I collapsed onto the bed next to her painting as if I had ran a mile.
“Perfect.” She sat up and flipped over ontop of me rubbing my chest.
“I wanna do this every night with you, Max.” She said kissing my lips.
“I know I’m your neice, but I don’t want to stop! Your perfect! Everything I ever wanted in a guy. I want you, I need you.”
She leaned forward and began to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around her and we did it Again and again, until I was dryer than the desert in Egypt.

Hello friends and welcome to the MFT April Release Countdown!
All of the amazing new products will be available for purchase on Tuesday, April 12 at 10:00 am EDT.
I have a cute card to share with you today, showcasing the lovely YUZU Shout It from the Rooftops stamp set and Die-namics.
I started to work on this card by stamping the adorable critters and two rooftops and colored them with Copic Markers before using the coordinating Die-namics to cut them out.
Next, I die-cut a frame out of white card stock using the A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics and layered the rooftops to fit the frame, adding a Translucent Vellum panel in between to create depth.
Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a strip of Butterscotch Prestige Card Stock and mounted it on my card front, adding the cute animals to complete the scene.

New Delhi: Panasonic India
, the local arm of Japanese electronics corporation Panasonic, announced it has introduced its new line of energy storage
solutions targeting the telecom tower market at industry event ELECRAMA 2018
. The newly launched compact business power
solution is called CBPS 8000
The company said the product will address challenges faced by telecom towers located across geographies. The product's remote configuration and diagnostic feature allow identifying faults remotely, the company said in a statement.
The demand for lithium-ion battery-based systems comes mainly from the push by Indian telecom service operators, for environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to power telecom towers and other services in the country. With a market share of 35 per cent in the category, currently almost 40,000 telecom towers run on Panasonic Batteries.
“With the increase in data consumption and various government led initiatives such as Digital India and Smart cities, we are experiencing an exponential growth in the nation’s telecom segment. This has led to an increase in telecom towers and sustainable renewable back up options powered by batteries,” said Atul Arya, Head-Energy Systems, Panasonic India.
Apart from introducing new storage solutions for its existing business line-up, Panasonic India is further looking to offer energy storage solutions for industries such as data centres
, commercial and industrial sector and rural micro-grids.

I try not to get too political in this blog, but occasionally there is no escaping it. The more I read about the situation in Wisconsin, where the state government is facing a vote to eliminate collective bargaining rights for public workers, the more I wonder if unions aren’t going to push themselves into obsolescence.
The recession has hit everyone hard, and local and state governments are faced with some very tough budgetary decisions. Business people already know that if the money is not coming in, something has to give. As employees are a significant source of overhead, they’re often one of the first things looked at to cut. Sacrifices must be made, whether it’s everyone taking a cut, or a few being let go in order to keep the rest employed. No businessman likes doing it, but it has to be done.
Obviously government is no exception. If the money isn’t there, it isn’t there, and even states can only borrow money for so long. Cuts eventually must be made, and that means some employees may lose their jobs, or most will need to take a cut in pay.
Unfortunately, too many unions seem determined to play a nasty game of chicken with both business and government. They seem unwilling to give even a little, somehow figuring the decision-makers can find other places to cut. While this may make them look momentarily popular with their members, what good does it do them if the company then goes bankrupt and everyone loses their job?
The inflexibility of unions is hurting their members and hurting the national economy. Now is not a time to fight change. Now is the time to acknowledge the problems businesses and governments face and work together to solve those problems. But far too many unions seem unwilling to do that, afraid that giving even an inch is showing weakness that will lead to a loss of power.
Governments are starting to fight back. They, at least, have the power to override the unions’ collective bargaining power. In Wisconsin they appear poised to do so. Other states, such as Tennessee, are taking notice and considering similar measures. If Wisconsin is able to do it, you can bet it will start a chain reaction of states.
What is more, once the trend gets started, you can count on businesses to lobby for the states to at least temporarily extend that power to them as well. State governments, recognizing where their tax revenues come from, will likely do just that. Unions, in attempting to win the battle, may find themselves losing the war. Heaven knows with unemployment as high as it is, scabs won’t be hard to find, should unions insist on pushing things too far.
I’m not necessarily against unions, though I do think lately the unions have been guilty of putting themselves above their own members by being willing to let companies go under rather than cooperate. I’m afraid that if they don’t start being part of the solution instead of part of the problem they may very well find themselves not only without a seat at the table, but banished to the wilderness.

A delicate combination of grated paneer and chana dal, with a faint trace of carom seeds! relish these seekh kebabs with mint chutney and a dip of your choice.
- Combine the chana dal and 1 cup of water in a pan and cook on a medium flame till all the water dries up. Keep aside to cool.
- Combine the cooked dal and the marinade in a bowl and mix well.
- Pound this mixture using a mortar-pestle (khalbhatta) and keep aside.
- Heat 2 tsp of oil in a kadhai, add the carom seeds and stir for 30 seconds. Add the chilli flakes, coriander, mint leaves and sauté on a slow flame for another 30 seconds.
- Add the pounded dal mixture, mix well and cook on a low flame till the mixture is completely dry. Keep aside to cool for a while.
- Add the paneer and salt and knead into stiff dough, ensuring that the mixture is as dry as as possible.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and keep aside.
- Brush the skewers using the remaining oil and shape a portion of the dough into 50 mm. (2”) long kebabs, directly onto the skewers.
- Brush little oil on the kebab and cook in a tandoor for 5 minutes or till the kababs are light brown in colour from all sides.
- Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with lemon slices , hot and sweet dip.
- Ensure that the chana dal doesn’t get overcooked to avoid the kebabs from getting soggy and to retain a dry crispy texture. Also ensure that the dough is not over-kneaded since too much kneading will make the mixture soft and will not stay on the skewer.

1992 Rover - Austin 200 216 Cabriolet 1.6 16v DOHC from UK and Ireland
Fast, reliable, open top fun
The clutch needed replacing and the flywheel skimming at 35,000 miles.
The performance of the 1.6 twin cam Honda built engine is outstanding, however it has to be worked to get the most out of it with the power only really coming in after 3,500 rpm.
Considering that it's a cabriolet, it's remarkably rattle free, but is somewhat noisy at motorway speeds.
The stiff suspension gives a bumpy ride, but it does corner well with the hood up, with the hood down it suffers quite a lot from the chassis flexing.
It's very well specified with 15" alloys, factory fitted alarm, electric windows and mirrors, power hood, central locking and sports seats as original equipment.
It starts first time every time and has never let me down.
For reliable, fast and fun open top motoring at a sensible price, I think that it's very difficult to beat and when I replace it later in the year I am going to get another one, just newer.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

They will have justice. They will show their power. They will not burn.
‘Three women’s fight for survival in a time of madness’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The MerciesNorway, 1662. A dangerous time to be a woman, when even dancing can lead to accusations of witchcraft. After recently widowed Zigri’s affair with the local merchant is discovered, she is sent to the fortress at Vardo to be tried as a witch.
Zigri’s daughter Ingeborg sets off into the wilderness to try to bring her mother back home. Accompanying her on this quest is Maren – herself the daughter of a witch – whose wild nature and unconquerable spirit gives Ingeborg the courage to venture into the unknown, and to risk all she has to save her family.
Also captive in the fortress is Anna Rhodius, once the King of Denmark’s mistress, who has been sent in disgrace to the island of Vardo. What will she do – and who will she betray – to return to her privileged life at court?These Witches of Vardo are stronger than even the King. In an age weighted against them, they refuse to be victims. They will have their justice. All they need do is show their power.

Breastfeed your baby for the first 6 to 12 months after birth. Doctors recommend that babies be fed with only breast milk (no water, no juice, no nonhuman milk, and no foods) for their first 6 months of life. Vitamins, minerals, and medicine that the doctor recommends are also all right for your baby.
You can start feeding your baby cereal or other baby food as soon as 6 months of age, while you continue to breastfeed. If you can, keep breastfeeding for 12 months or as long as you and your baby want.
If you have a health condition or are taking any medicines, talk to your doctor before your baby is born about breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding is healthy for you and your baby.
Benefits for the baby
* Has just the right amount of protein, fat, sugar, and water to help your baby grow.
* Helps protect your baby from infections and illness.
* Is usually easier for babies to digest than formula.
Benefits for the mom
* Gives you and your baby more time to get to know each other.
* Can save your family hundreds of dollars!
* Burns lots of calories, making it easier to lose the weight gained during pregnancy.
* May help lower the risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
Even though it's natural, breastfeeding isn't always easy. Focus on what works for you and your baby. Here are some tips for breastfeeding success.
Talk to your doctor or midwife about breastfeeding.
While you are pregnant, tell your doctor or midwife that you plan to breastfeed. Many health centers, clinics, and hospitals have lactation counselors to answer all your questions. A lactation counselor (or lactation specialist) is someone who helps women learn how to breastfeed.
If you plan to go to work after pregnancy, a lactation counselor can help you figure out how to keep providing breastmilk for your baby while you are away.
Nurse your baby whenever he or she wants to eat.
Try to breastfeed within an hour after your baby’s birth. Newborn babies need to nurse often (every 2 hours). Watch your baby for signs of hunger, such as mouthing or being more alert.
Put your nipple as far back in the baby’s mouth as you can.
Nurse with the nipple and the brown area around the nipple (called the areola) in the baby’s mouth. This will make you more comfortable.
Try out these different breastfeeding positions.
Learn how to have a healthy pregnancy
What do you want to do today?
* Talk to your doctor or midwife about breastfeeding.
* Review these different breastfeeding positions.
* Find out if your state has breastfeeding laws.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte might just play important roles in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding.
In a recent report by the Express, it has been alleged that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s two adorable children are likely to be given key roles in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials.
Speaking with the outlet, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams explained that it has been a long royal tradition for children to be part of a wedding entourage, accompanying the bride as she walks down the aisle.
Given that Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, two, are the only niece and nephew of Prince Harry, it is only fitting for them to be featured in his big day.
According to Fitzwilliams, it is likely that the royal siblings will adorably steal the show as a page boy and flower girl or bridesmaid. He added that the two are definitely going to add up to the anticipation from royal fans all around the globe.
Meanwhile, royal expert Marlene Koenig shares the same sentiment. Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar, she admitted that she would definitely be “shocked” if Prince George and Princess Charlotte did not play significant roles in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.
She noted that traditionally, the “bride goes down the aisle first, followed by attendants or bridesmaids and page boys holding the train.”
As to what the royal siblings would wear on their uncle’s big day, Koenig claimed that they will definitely be dolled up for the event. She suggested that Princess Charlotte might wear a lovely white dress while Prince George might wear something with a “military theme.”
And while the Duchess of Cambridge is reportedly not joining the entourage, it is expected that she and nanny Maria Borallo will keep a close eye on Prince George and Princess Charlotte during the royal wedding to avoid any incident.
Koenig also pointed out that there will be several rehearsals ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, allowing the royal siblings to get used to their roles and responsibilities.
“Young kids in wedding parties will fuss and fidget. If George or Charlotte makes funny faces or does something silly, their antics will be recorded for posterity.”
This is not the first time that Prince George and Princess Charlotte became part of a relative’s wedding entourage. In 2017, the royal siblings were page boy and flower girl in their aunt Pippa Middleton’s wedding with James Matthews.
So far, Kensington Palace has yet to confirm the involvement of Prince George and Princess Charlotte in the upcoming wedding.
Aside from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s children, other royal family members that might be part of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding include the groom’s first cousins, Lady Louise Windsor and her brother Viscount Severn, as well as the children of his two first cousins, Mia Tindall, Savannah and Isla Phillips.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to tie the knot on May 19 at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

A man given the death sentence for murder after appealing against his original seven-year term has appealed again.
Second appeal in murder case, after 7 years is raised to death sentence
ABU DHABI // A man given the death sentence for murder after appealing against his original seven-year term has appealed again.
The man and his older brother fought in 2010 with their two cousins over a taxi rental, the Appeals Court heard yesterday.
The Pakistanis had rented a taxi from their cousins, but argued over whether they had already paid the agreed Dh3,000.
The fight escalated, with bricks and sticks being used. Finally, the elder of the brothers stabbed one of the cousins.
But the younger sibling agreed to take the blame so his brother could flee and settle matters with the cousin's relatives in Pakistan.
The younger brother confessed, believing that once his brother had left the country he could withdraw his confession, and that, in any case, the court would treat him more leniently as he was younger.
But he was sentenced to seven years for handing out a beating that led to the cousin's death.
He appealed, protesting that his older brother, not he, was the killer. But the Appeals Court, on the insistence of the victim's family, increased his sentence to execution.
At the second appeal yesterday, the defence lawyer asked for an acquittal. The court was also told the blood relatives had dropped their demand for a death sentence.
A verdict is scheduled to be announced on June 27.

A recent news article reported that Ghana’s economy is experiencing significant growth, with a 6.8% expansion in the first quarter of 2021.
This growth was largely driven by the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector, which saw a 4.6% increase. Additionally, the industrial sector grew by 1.5%, while the services sector expanded by 8.2%. These figures are indicative of the resilience and potential of Ghana’s economy, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Furthermore, the article highlighted the government’s efforts to stimulate economic growth through various initiatives and interventions.
These include the implementation of the Ghana COVID-19 Alleviation and Revitalization of Enterprises Support (Ghana CARES) program, which aims to support businesses and industries that have been adversely affected by the pandemic.
The government has also focused on improving the business environment, addressing infrastructure deficits, and promoting entrepreneurship and innovation.
It is evident that Ghana’s economy has shown remarkable strength and adaptability in the face of adversity.
With the implementation of strategic policies and the support of the private sector, the country is well-positioned to sustain its growth momentum and emerge stronger from the challenges brought about by the pandemic.

The Game Awards 2016 have come and gone and Breath of the Wild knocked it out of the park.
Sure the new trailer shown during the pre-show wasn’t all that long, coming in at 1 minute and 26 seconds, but the trailer sure did show a lot. I’m talking towns, people, perhaps even Princess Zelda herself, and there was even new environments shown. In other words, so much content was shown, Zelda theorists will be able to spend the next 4 to 6 weeks uploading videos to YouTube, regarding new theories born from what was shown and even then that was just the pre-show stuff.
During the actual The Game Awards 2016 event, another Breath of the Wild clip was shown. This time it came to us in the form of a much longer Let’s Play video that saw Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff try their hand at the game, which you can see for yourself right here and beneath it, we’ve included the new trailer as well:
But the best Breath of the Wild/The Game Awards 2016 news, is of course Zelda’s deserved victory as the title claimed the award for Most Anticipated Game, which it most certainly is!

A Psy/Changeling novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian..."the alpha author of paranormal romance" (Booklist). As a conflict with Pure Psy looms on the horizon, two powerful wolves fight a far more intimate war of their own ...
In his position as Tracker for the SnowDancer pack, it's up to Drew Kincaid to rein in rogue changelings who've lost control of their animal halves - even if it means killing those who've gone too far. But nothing in his life has prepared him for the battle he must now wage - to win the heart of a woman who makes his body ignite...and who threatens to enslave his wolf.
Lieutenant Indigo Riviere doesn't easily allow skin privileges, especially of the sensual kind - and the last person she expects to find herself craving is the most wickedly playful male in the den. Everything she knows tells her to pull back before the flames burn them both to ash...but she hasn't counted on Drew's will.
Now, two of SnowDancer's most stubborn wolves find themselves playing a hotly sexy game even as lethal danger stalks the very place they call home...
For the sake of not repeating myself I’m just going to put it out there that my main issue with Play of Passion by Nalini Singh was the same issue I had with Branded By Fire, with a slight variation. With that being said I did end up loving Play of Passion.
At first when I read the synopsis for Play of Passion I thought that Mercy’s friend from Branded By Fire was named Drew too and was being paired with Indigo. Thinking of Riley and Brenna’s brother Drew didn’t even enter into the mix nor did I think that he would even get his own story. I am seriously starting to realize I should never underestimate or assume anything about Nalini Singh’s writing.
The one variation that I was talking about previously was the age difference between Indigo and Drew. Outside of the female dominant verses male dominant games, the age different game was also in play and it irked my nerves worse than I thought it would. I’m not bagging on female characters like Indigo and Mercy because I prefer a heroine to be more submissive towards their men, instead I expect for a dominant woman wanting to be mated to dominant man to understand there needs to be some give and take. When I see the heroine taking, taking, and taking some more and expecting the hero to bend over backwards in when all twisted up, which is what I felt happened both in Play of Passion and Branded by Fire.
(Sigh) other than the glaring issues I had with the relationship dynamic between Indigo and Drew I really enjoyed Play of Passion. Drew’s character was someone I could read about nonstop and I just enjoyed reading about his antics towards Indigo and everyone else he interacted with in the pack.
I’m also glad I was able to get through Play of Passion by Nalini Singh, that both of these pigheaded character (one more than the other) worked everything out in the end, and that I was able to see how they worked through the sensitive and intricate details of their relationship together, coming out stronger for it in the end.
Now on to Hawke and Sienna’s story…Oh wait there’s a novella about another character I’m curious about first…

text: Twelve students from the University of Delaware studied abroad in Brazil in January, exploring the landscapes and sketching the South American scenery. Led by Sue Barton, associate professor and extension specialist in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences in UD’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR), students in the Field Sketching of Landscape Subjects class tried their hands at sketching landscapes as diverse as the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro to the lush Amazon region. The students had 25 different individual sketching assignments due during their time in Brazil, and their final project is on display in the hallway of the plant and soil sciences department in Townsend Hall. For this project students had to create a montage of five different images that had meaning to them from the program. “It’s wonderful to teach something like field sketching in Brazil in January where we are outside constantly, the subject matter is fascinating, plants have really bold textures and are interesting to sketch, and we go to lots of gardens. There’s really a great opportunity for students to sketch,” said Barton. Barton said she first learned field sketching by taking a class taught by Jules Bruck, associate professor of landscape design who has led classes on study abroad programs in the past. Barton has taught the class the last two times they have gone to Brazil and said she is interested in teaching the students how sketching can be used as a tool. “The process causes you to observe what you’re seeing more carefully and learn more about what you’re seeing than if you took a photograph of it or if you walked by it, so it hones observation skills as well as teaching you how to sketch,” said Barton. Barton said that this year’s final projects, which were done in pen and ink — with one student using pastels and some using water colors — were “just amazing. The students did such a great job. We had two students who were art students so they already had some of these skills but I had a number of students who had never really sketched before. It was a great group of students.” Interdisciplinary learning The class was made up of students from various disciplines across UD, with students from plant science, food science, wildlife conservation and wildlife ecology representing CANR. Also part of the class were students majoring in chemistry, engineering and English. Those students who had art experience helped fellow students who did not have much background in art, which Barton said was great to see. “One art student in particular was really good at, when we had critiques of student’s work, making positive suggestions – probably suggestions I would not have been able to make,” Barton said. “We all learned from her, which I think is just a wonderful environment, when people are learning from each other. We had two neuroscience students, one girl who was already an amazing sketcher, and one guy who had never sketched before in his life but did a great job. It’s really fun.” Austin Virdin, a junior majoring in landscape horticulture and design who hopes to one day have a career in landscape architecture designing urban blocks, said that it was beneficial to be able to sketch landscapes, tropical plants and streetscapes that contrast sharply with those in Newark and the United States. He also said that for someone interested in landscape horticulture as a career, learning to sketch is beneficial because “it allows me to see subjects in greater detail. Whether it be a plant that catches my interest or a unique paving pattern, sketching gives me a greater understanding of the subject that I would not have had by just taking a photograph. These are elements I can then bring into a design by just looking through my sketch book.” Virdin said he enjoyed visiting the Roberto Burle Marx Landscape Design officeand was excited to hear that some of the people they interacted with at the office will be coming to Townsend Hall on Thursday, May 5, at 7 p.m. to speak about the Burle Marx landscape legacy. The speakers are part of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences’ celebration of the new bachelor of science in landscape architecture degree program, a degree in which Virdin has interest. Virdin said he was excited that the study abroad opportunity arose, as it gave him a chance to see a region of the world he might otherwise have missed out on. “I had friends who went to England, different places within Europe, and what drew me to the Brazil trip is that Brazil is not somewhere I would’ve gone just on a whim. It was an experience that I don’t think I would’ve had without doing the study abroad and I want to go back because of it,” said Virdin.

Summary: The London Stock Exchange has published a consultation paper proposing an early notification process for admissions and compliance with a recognised corporate governance code.
We reported earlier in the year on the London Stock Exchange’s (the “Exchange”) proposals to make a number of amendments to the AIM Rules for Companies. Having considered the feedback, the Exchange has decided to take forward three of the original proposals:
- Early notification: nominated advisers (“nomads”) should submit an early notification form to the Exchange, prior to submission of the Schedule One form, setting out key information on the company and its proposed admission. The rationale behind this new requirement is to enable earlier discussions between the nomad and the Exchange so any issues can be identified at this stage. The Exchange must also be kept informed of any material new information or any change of circumstances to the applicant;
- AIM Rule 9 powers: provide nomads with a non-exhaustive list of factors, set out in Schedule Three to the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers, which they should consider in their assessment of appropriateness; and
- Corporate Governance: feedback from the discussion paper favoured a requirement for AIM companies to comply or explain against a recognised industry code. As a result, AIM companies must provide details on their website of the recognised industry code that the company has decided to apply, how it complies with that code and where it departs from this, an explanation of the reasons for doing so. However, there will be no requirement to provide an annual update on its corporate governance approach but the information must be kept up to date and the last date on which it was updated should be included (AIM Rule 26). The changes to Rule 26 will take effect from 30 June 2018 to allow companies and nomads time to prepare for the change.
Comments are requested by 29 January 2018.
The Exchange has also published AIM Notice 48 concerning AIM’s application as a SME Growth Market, arising from MiFID II, with effect from 3 January 2018. As a result, minor consequential changes to the AIM Rules will come into force on this date requiring certain regulatory information (a prospectus, annual financial reports and half-yearly financial reports and all inside information disclosed pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation (“MAR”)) to be available for five years on a website. These changes will not apply retrospectively.
It is also worth noting that MAR, Article 18(6), contains an exemption from the requirement to maintain an insider list for companies admitted to trading on an SME Growth Market provided that:
- the issuer takes all reasonable steps to ensure that any person with access to inside information acknowledges the legal and regulatory duties entailed and is aware of the sanction for insider dealing and unlawful disclosure; and
- the issuer is able to provide the FCA, upon request, with an insider list.
On the basis that there is still an obligation for issuers to draw up a list when requested by the regulator, it may be prudent for companies on AIM to continue to maintain an insider list.

Hertz Corporation and its business partner, American Traffic Solutions (ATS) reached a settlement agreement with San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera in connection with a lawsuit involving hidden fees charged to unsuspecting car rental customers who crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.
Allegations against Hertz and ATS
In 2017, Atty. Herrera sued Hertz and ATS for allegedly engaging in false advertising and unlawful business practices. He argued that the companies misled rental car customers about how to avoid PlatePass and its expensive fees. The PlatePass service was supposed to allow customers bypass cash toll lanes and use the FasTrak lanes at the Golden Gate Bridge without establishing a FasTrak account.
However, in 2013, the Golden Gate Bridge decided to implement a cashless, electronic tolling. As a result, the PlatePass service became useless to its customers crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Every lane is the same and available to everyone with or without PlatePass or FasTrak. Therefore, customers no longer received the promised benefit of faster passage.
Herrera alleged that customers were unknowingly buying the supposedly optional PlatePass and paying up to $24.75 in extra fees because the companies’ practices. Many customers paid over $30 to cross the bridge once.
In a statement, Herrera said, “Accurate pricing is the backbone of a fair marketplace, but in too many industries, consumers don’t know the true price because of hidden fees. Many Hertz customers were unwittingly paying more than quadruple the actual toll just to cross the Golden Gate Bridge once.”
“The Golden Gate Bridge is an international icon, but charging someone $32 to cross it is simply wrong. We put a stop to that. And because of this case, Hertz has reduced its toll service fee nationwide,” he added.
Details of the settlement agreement
Under the settlement agreement, Hertz and ATS agreed to pay San Francisco $3.65 million. The city will use the money for future consumer protection enforcement.
The companies also agreed to provide customers at Bay Area locations with a Hertz rental record that includes terms of the Golden Gate Bridge District’s one-time payment option.
Additionally, Hertz and ATS were required to provide customers at hertz Bay Area airport and other high-volume locations a copy of the brochure entitled “Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in a Rented Vehicle.” The brochure explains options for avoiding rental car toll service fees.
Furthermore, the settlement compelled the companies to include material terms of the Golden Gate Bridge District’s one-time payment option on the Hertz.com and PlatePass.com websites.
Hertz and ATS must train employees assisting customers at rental counters and exit gates at Bay Area locations regarding the distribution of the required brochure and the Golden Gate Bridge District’s one-time payment option.
Finally, the companies must also stop implementing unlawful and unreasonable fees for the PlatePass toll service.

The Australian Nugget coin has been produced by the Perth Mint since 1986. Until 1989, the reverse of the coin was designed to show various famous Australian gold nuggets.
Starting with the 1989 proof edition, the design was changed to feature a kangaroo which is generally regarded as a more internationally recognised symbol of Australia. It is because of this that the coins are often called "gold kangaroos". Also, unlike most bullion coins, the design of the Australian Gold Nugget coin changes each year.

It took an extra day, but I finally decided upon my Advent reading for this year. I chose this work of Malcolm Guite and look forward to diving in and see how the Lord chooses to teach me through this work. However, before I dive in I must offer up my own Advent prayer.
My advent prayer-
Most Holy Lord, I wait for you. As I wait I pray that you would return me to my first love of Christ Jesus. Awaken my soul as parts of it have lain dormant in the harsh cold of life, loss, and out of mere survival instinct in a season of tumultuous tempests. Yet now the fog has lifted, the waters are not raging ,though they are not fully calm. My soul had a little respite. It was a long hard stormy season, but you have sent your dove with the olive branch saying to me “come out. It is safe. The greatest of the storm is passed for now and there is work to do. ” Rebuilding and building and planting and sowing. Lord as I wait show me what fields are mine to tend as you know I am an eager worker and aim to please so when I am committed I tend to take on more than you would have me do which leads to weariness and limits my fruitfulness. You do not intend me to be complacent or slothful or stagnant and yet you do not intend me to bear a burden too great. I do not know my limits. I underestimate and overestimate my abilities. Maker of my soul, you know. Grant me O Lord the wisdom to discern which is my field to tend and strengthen me to get busy about your work so that I may by your grace cooperate and assist in your kingdom building. What a great God you are! You do not need us for your work, but so sweetly invite us into it so that we may grow and be fruitful.
Lord as I enter this season of reflection, slowing, contemplation, and penitence make your will for my life quite clear. Lord I seek you. Assist me with thy grace to seek you with my whole heart, mind, and soul.
In the powerful name of our risen Lord and Savior Y’shua, Emmanuel- Amen

Let’s just be real, did anyone here really think that the Philadelphia Flyers would actually sweep the Pittsburgh Penguins in their round 1 series? Did anyone really consider that the Penguins would just pack it in and go back to Pittsburgh without a game to play? On Wednesday night, the Penguins avoided elimination, by winning game 4 by a score of 10-3. No it was not the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. This wasn’t really a touchdown and a field goal to a field goal. This was NHL playoff hockey. This was the same team that days ago, lost 8-4 and was quickly unfolding. This was the team that had so many questions to answer, and so many doubters that they were indeed the team that was picked by any and all odds makers, as the team most likely to have the best odds to win, not only the series, but the Stanley Cup. On the flip-side, was this the real Philadelphia Flyers team, the team that asserted itself as offensively dominate, defensively average in games 1,2,and 3? Was this the team that had the swagger on the ice for those aforementioned games? What went wrong? Where did it go wrong? and can it be fixed, before Fridays game 5? Some will tell you game 5 is the most important of games, if the Pens win, it’s back to being “a series”, if the Flyers win, well its adios for the Penguins. I will try to answer these questions, and try to evaluate what the chances are that the Penguins have of making history and coming back from being down 0-3
Where did it go wrong? Plain and simple, on special teams. While the Pens struggled games 1-3 on the power play, they feasted on the power play in game 4 going a lofty 4 for 9 on the power play at a incredible 44%. Its really that simple folks, special teams has been the so-called “x-factor” for the series. Taking a look back at games 1-3 the Flyers feasted on the Pens PK, and then wanting more decided to feast on the Penguins PP, scoring multiple short-handed goals. So anyone can give you a moment within a game, but the truth of the matter is the reason the Pens won, is because they owned the special teams play in game 4. I wouldn’t look any further to why teams win games in the playoffs, then to the special teams. At this point in the season, most of these teams are pretty equal at 5 on 5, so of course the biggest factor would be special teams play! The Flyers did convert on both of their PP oppurtunities, but after period one, it was ALL Penguins. The Flyers played reckless, on both ends of the ice, and that really is what led to 9 PP’s for the Pens. Even though it was tightly officiated game, the Flyers played role-reversal with the Penguins and became the team oft penalized, oft frustrated, and often outplayed.
Can it be fixed? Yes, it sure can. Will it be fixed? I undoubtedly know it will. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette, had the Flyers working at practice just today on PK, PP and 4 on 4 drills. He also had a long talk, with the team, at center ice about staying disciplined, not taking bad penalties, and being aware of time, space and score. Time, space and score you say? What TSS means is, being aware of game conditions, protecting leads, but not sitting on them, pushing play when space is allowed, eliminating cross ice passes, and being aware where each player is on the ice. It really is referring to being accountable for every pass, every shot, every shift, and every period. Laviolette also spoke about playing with “more jam”. Playing with more jam, means, standing up the blue line, making the other team dump the puck in, instead of allowing them to skate into the offensive zone freely. It mean tightly checking each guy, making it difficult to get an offensive flow going for the opposition. It means being defensively accountable (even forwards). What bothers Laviolette the most is lack of accountability. Give him effort, and play the system and you will earn your ice time. These are all thing that can be fixed, and fixed pretty quickly. The Flyers all know what is at stake, and they know that giving ANY team any kind of breathing room when they are down 3-1 in a series, can be dangerous…after all the Flyers were in the exact same position the Penguins now find themselves, in 2010 when they came back from a 0-3 deficit against the Boston Bruins. Can it happen again? Yes it can. Will it happen again? If the Flyers don’t fix what ailed them in game 4, yes it will!

As has become the norm lately, the Nikon Z50 mirrorless APS-C camera has pretty much fully leaked ahead of the official announcement, which is expected tomorrow.
We already reported on the camera’s rumored specs last week, when we learned that it would likely be a Sony a6400 competitor with a 20MP image sensor, single SD card slot, tilting 3-inch touchscreen that flips all the way down for selfies, 11fps continuous shooting, but no IBIS. We also know that it will come with two new DX-format Z-Mount lenses: a NIKKOR Z 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR and a NIKKOR Z 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR.
All of this we already knew, but if you were curious what the camera actually looks like, the folks over at Nokishita have acquired a Google Drive folder full of product shots and promotional images of the unreleased Nikon Z50. Scroll down to see what Nikon has in store for its first APS-C mirrorless camera system:
There’s not much left to find out about the camera at this point, but the official announcement is expected tomorrow. According to the most recent leaks, the Nikon Z50 will cost about $860 for the body only, $1,000 in a kit with the 16-50mm lens, or $1,350 in a two-lens kit with both DX lenses.
Stick around for official confirmation of these specs and other details in the next 24 hours!

Is speeding a problem in your neighborhood? Safe Kids Central Ohio encourages displaying “Slow Down! This is Our Neighborhood” yard signs to remind motorists to drive slowly through communities where people live and children play.
Signs can be purchased for $5 each.
Walk Your Child to School Day
Each year, Safe Kids Central Ohio works with elementary schools in Franklin County to conduct International Walk to School Day. This one day international event is an opportunity to raise awareness about pedestrian safety. By inviting community members to participate in the event, we are able to keep pedestrian safety a priority issue with government officials.
As local dignitaries and volunteers walk with their student(s), they are able to observe, first hand, what children face each day as they walk to and from school. Walkers have been encouraged to complete a Walkability Checklist that will provide insight on issues that can be fixed. Once the checklists have been compiled, we work with the city’s Department of Transportation to determine possible solutions. To date we have gotten new pedestrian signage, school flashers, and crosswalks painted around area schools. Although we only focus on one school each year, we have raised awareness and made positive changes to the environment.
The Safe Kids Pedestrian Safety Task Force, including members of Franklin County Safe Communities, City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Healthy Places and other community organizations, received two $10,000 grants from Safe Kids Worldwide to make environmental modifications to improve areas for pedestrians, especially children. Focusing on the Franklinton Area in 2008, radar speed signs were installed in the school zone on Sullivant Avenue near Dana Elementary School. These radar speed signs let the driver know how fast he is going through the school zone when the lights are flashing. The data is also being collected for evaluation by the City of Columbus.
In 2007, crosswalks along Livingston Ave. at cross streets near Nationwide Children’s Hospital were painted on the streets to encourage safer walking by using crosswalks to cross the streets.
These improvements will create a “pedestrian awareness zone” for drivers in that corridor. We are working to slow drivers down and guide pedestrians to safe crossing locations.
Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School is a nationally endorsed process to improve walking and bicycle safety in neighborhoods, especially around schools. The program is promoted and funded through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ohio Department of Public Safety, Franklin County Safe Communities and Columbus Public Health.
