The slave is choked by Daidra
Daidra is a really hot girl and wears some tight black underwear. Her slave knees infront of her and she is very angry. What a useless whimp! She brings him down on the ground and sits down on his chest. In her hands she holds some leather handcuffs. Because the slave tries to struggle she uses the handcuffs to tighten his hands. Now he cannot move anymore. She sits down at him, chokes and smothers him in a lot of different positions. At the end she also uses the chain of her handcuffs to strangle him even further – In his eyes you can easily see how difficult it is for him to breath…!
Katja and Ljuba dominate the slave together
The slave was relaxing on the couch when Katja and Ljuba went into the room. They cannot believe it – how does he believe he can sit there and do nothing…!? Soon Ljuba keeps him into the chokehold while Katja grabs his hair. It seems that the slave tries to avoid the wrath of the two sexy girls – but he has no chance! Katja takes a rope and now he stops his senseless tries. At the end they bring him down on the ground and choke him. They use their hands and legs to do so… The slave has already surrendered but the two girls have no mercy and won't stop soon…!
Choked and smothered under Feet
Mercedes surprises her slave…
Mercedes wears some sexy underwear. She looks very hot! Her slave is very happy about the nice view. But he doesn't know she is going to do… She stands above his body, looks into his face and seems to decide what she shall do next. Then she decides to sit down on him with her sexy ass and to choke him! She buries her fingers deep into his neck and prevents him from breathing! You can have a good view on her sexy body and her tits – but this is nothing the slave can enjoy… He has to think about how he can get some more air! After a while she also decides to use a rope and a whip to further punish him – the slave suffers and has to take it all… But she has a lot of fun!
Leana is very upset because of the useless slave
Leana is extremely angry! This useless piece of shit hasn't followed her orders! Now he has to take her wrath – This is his fault only! She grabs his neck with a lot of power. You can easily see in her face how angry she is! But she is a little bit crazy too! So she makes fun of him and seems to forget that she wanted to punish him only. With her knee she smothers him and in addition uses her hands to keep his nose and mouth tight. At the end she also uses her boots and puts them down on his neck with power – Next time he will immediately obey her orders…!
Saskia and Angelique choke the slave together
Saskia and Angelique are two young and sexy models. And they always wanted to test something special – they wanted to choke one slave together! The slave already lies on the ground and so the two girls don't loose anymore time. They use her hands to choke him and grab his neck. In addition they close his nose and mouth, preventing him from getting some fresh air! They have a lot of fun doing so. But they want to humiliate him even further! So Saskia takes one of her sweaty shoes and puts the nose of the slave into the shoe! Their helpless victim has to smell the sweat although he can breath hardly only. And to show him what a loser he is they hold their middle finger into his view…!
Inessa sits down on her slave and chokes him
Inessa wears a really small and tight jeans mini skirt. To round up the nice view she also wears a hot black top. And her tits also look very hot…! But the slave wasn't allowed to stare so much so she has to punish him now! She tells him that he never do this again without permission. And to teach him a lesson she bows down to grab his neck and to choke him. His eyes look very unhappy but she continues to take him the ability to breath. After a while she also sits down on him spreading her legs and grabs his hair. She makes him to look into her eyes – this way he will learn to follow her orders, that's sure…!
Hot Jana uses the slave to satisfy her desires
Jana is a really nice and hot girl. And very cute too! But she also likes to choke defenseless slaves and makes fun of them. So she soon sits down on the slave, spreads her legs and grabs the neck of the slave. It is really difficult for him to breath now. But she wants to enjoy every second and see the pain in his face. So she bows down her head and further increases her grip – now she can easily see how much problems he has to breath. But she wants to test some other positions too! So she sits down on his neck with her hot ass too…
Blonde Michelle dominates her helpless victim
Michelle is a sexy young model with long blond hair. She wears some tight jeans and a hot looking top. You can easily see her nice big breasts. She sits down on the slave and presses her knee on his chest. He raises his arms to handle the pain. But you can guess that she wants to have some more fun and that this is the beginning only. So she bows low and starts to choke him with her hands. Her breasts can be seen easier now, but the slave cannot enjoy the nice view. Instead he has to fight for every breath! At the end she also sits down on his neck with her pussy in jeans and humiliates him even further…!
Sexy Jenny stands at the slaves neck
Sexy Jenny is a really hot girl – with a lot of tattoos! She likes a lot of different things to dominate her slaves. This time she wants to prevent her slave from breathing. The slave already lies on the ground in front of her. She starts to sit down on his chest and presents her hot body. You can easily see that she knows how sexy she is! Then she starts to choke the helpless victim. She presses the fingers of her hand deep into his neck. But one hand doesn't seem to be enough so she uses the other one too. The slave can breath hardly only now but it still looks like she want to increase his pain. So she also uses her feet and puts them on his neck…!
Sarah chokes and strangles the slave
Sarah wants to have some fun today. She wears a hot black dress. She stands above the slave and holds a rope in her hands. The slave awaits her with some fear in his eyes. Soon she sits down on his chest and starts to choke the slave. First she starts with one hand only but then she uses her other hand too. The slave has some problems to breath soon but it seems that it is not enough for her. So she also uses the rope to strangle him…!

I think that right up there with the wonder and enjoyment of all the festivities surrounding the general Holiday Season, that begins really with Thanksgiving, continues to Christmas, and ended yesterday, is the enjoyment of getting back to work with a renewed and fresh sense of purpose. Man I'm glad to be back.

It's the Power, Stupid
January 3rd, 2006 · 7 Comments · Politics & Culture
Do you have any idea how hysterically I laugh at most of you all; and in particular, currently, at Republicans bending over backwards to defend "abuses of power" they would not have tolerated for an instant in the previous administration of the office of the chief executive? They wouldn't tolerate lying about a blow-job (and they shouldn't), but they will tolerate just about whatever from the guy who heads the other team (and they shouldn't). Let me clue you in on something: when the government does something you don't like, it uses the exact same power it used to do something you do like. Another clue: government is the abuse of power. What's my point? Simply this: I know very well and good how things are done around here. I understand that there are imperatives, such as killing primitives who have vowed and continue to vow to kill us. I understand that the power of the State is the only way that's going to happen, now, and whether it is or is not the power of the State that got us into this and all of the many murderous predicaments of the past is immaterial. Things have to get done–today….
Parliament of Whores
January 5th, 2006 · Comments Off · Politics & Culture
First things first: the title is ripped off from P.J. O'Roarke, who wrote a book by the same title. Jim Bovard has a rather humorous post up about the Abramoff "lobbying" scandal. Here's one, quoting the NYT quoting some former republican aide: "There's a lot of talk coming out of various quarters that the Justice Department is going to pursue a different definition of bribery, meaning that if somebody were to give a gift or a campaign contribution in the same time period as a member took an official action, that in and of itself would constitute bribery. That scares the bejesus out of people." Oh, you mean they're going to use a definition of bribery close to the actual meaning of the word? It astounds me. I hear virtually nothing but lies on both sides of the political debate virtually all of the time. Yea, they call it "spin." Euphemism for outright, boldface lying. Look: the only reason that the truth needs to be spun into a lie is that the truth is uncomfortable. Why is it uncomfortable? Well, in this case, because virtually every last one of them, on both sides–top to bottom and wall to wall–are whores…
Post Hoc, Ergo, Propter Hoc

Which completely sums up what sort of idiot Pat Robertson is. Those who require exorcism of their similar idiocies can begin right here. And make sure to "see also," and follow "external links." Such begins your path to redemption as a human being with a mind.
Far, FAR Fetched
January 5th, 2006 · Comments Off · Motivation & Lifestyle
Radley Balko has some very far-fetched predictions for 2006 in his latest Fox column.
G.I. Joe Report
January 5th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Politics & Culture
Radley Balko reports on more limp-dick, G.I. Joe wannabes who like to dress up in assault gear, break down doors, point automatic assault rifles, and generally terrorize people in possession of a little weed. And, sometimes (often), they even get the wrong house. You know, I just have a difficult time understanding how a person–a so-called man–can live a life like that; terrorizing people who aren't harming anyone. It's an objective fact that nobody of genuine self-esteem could do that for a single day. I can only imagine what sorts of ego-crushing experiences these guys must have had at the hands of parents, or perhaps women at some point in their lives. No excuse, of course, but I'm forever astonished at how so many people seem to be so concerned about what other people think of them. Why is that? Update: Well, Christ, I might as well add this link here too, about SWAT teams preventing people from committing suicide: by shooting and killing them first. Can anyone fathom the depth of my hatred, here?
Looking Back
January 6th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Politics & Culture
Via Hit & Run, I get a link over to this WSJ Editorial that minimally has the virtue of telling a decent bit of the truth about who republican politicians really are. More broadly, however, the Abramoff scandal wouldn't resonate nearly as much with the public if it didn't fit a GOP pattern of becoming cozy with Beltway mores. The party that swept to power on term limits, spending restraint and reform has become the party of incumbency, 6,371 highway-bill "earmarks," and K Street. And it's no defense to say that Democrats would do the same. Of course Democrats would, but then they've always claimed to be the party of government. If that's what voters want, they'll choose the real thing. After admittedly being seduced by the whole '1994 thing,' it didn't really take long to understand that nothing was materially going to change. It was perhaps a year, at most. Two years ago, I blogged an entry that I think is pretty apropos today, really going to the fundamental reasons why the Republicans did not and will not change anything. (Reading it now also makes me think that my writing is getting worse.) That entry concludes as follows, but…

Series One
Series Two
UPDATED: Now with working links and series 2!!!!
1. There's a reason schools teach Shakespeare instead of John Green; you make your own life, it's not written in the stars, waiting to start until you find that person with the perfect smile
2. People are a hell of a lot smart than you think. Shut your mouth, stop thinking you know everything, and listen.
3. Getting close and being vulnerable is scary as hell, But you know what else it is? Worth it.
4. Reason really is the doctor to love.
5. The moment you feel your happiness being dictated by another person, take a break from them.
6. Take a step back and look around, you have more friends than you think.
7. Growing up is going to happen and it's going to be tough. Just stay close to those around you, you're all in it together.
8. If you're still checking their Facebook/Instagram/tumblr, you're never going to get over them.
9. Everything seems worse in the morning. Don't fall for it, it's deceiving.
10. No need to be so intense all the time. People get tired of swimming in the deep end, sometimes they need a break in the shallow part of the pool.
11. Stop avoiding everything. Get out of bed, get dressed, go to school, go to work. It sucks at first but it's part of the healing process.
12. If the person makes you feel like shit and you still go back to them, it's an abusive relationship.
13. Headphones are great, but listen to music aloud every once in a while. Sometimes you need to scream a song so everyone can hear you.
14. Boundaries are a must.
15. You can be a caring person, but you need to be happy with yourself before you try to make others happy.
16. Try and understand other's intentions and situation before you get angry with them.
17. Tough love is necessary sometimes.
18. You can't fix people no matter how hard you try. Get this engrained in your mind.
19. Surround yourself with people who will love and support you.
20. Loneliness is lethal and makes you have a distorted view of things.
21. No one hates you more than you hate yourself. Stop being your own enemy.
22. Someone can only hurt your feelings if you allow them to.
23. Getting your shit back in order is five times as hard as it is to mess it all up.
24. Listen to your parent's advice.
25. Be open to anything and everything. Life isn't fun when you're a closed book.
26. Talking about your problems is great, but there comes a point when talking about it becomes dwelling on the past and it drains everyone around you. Know when you've hit this point.
27. A lot of people don't like their shit showing. More people than you know are going through hard times.
28. Distract yourself.
29. Don't be so easily swayed, a lot of claims out there are not true.
30. Some seasons of your life are harder than others. This too shall pass.
— | 30 Things I Learned During the 30 Worst Days of my Life: November 2013 (via confused-and-misunderstood) |
Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out.

Left-hander Francisco Liriano is guaranteed $1 million under his contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates and can earn up to $13.75 million plus award bonuses over two years if he pitches regularly and an injury to his non-throwing arm doesn't land him on the disabled list.
Liriano and the Pirates agreed in December to a two-year contract pending a physical, but he injured his right arm during the holidays and it took until Friday to finalize the reworked agreement. He can make $5.25 million this year and $8.5 million in 2014 if he pitches 200 innings a season.
Liriano has $3.75 million in available roster bonuses this year under the deal based on days on the active big league roster or the disabled list, not including days on the DL as the result of the pre-existing injury to his right arm.
He would get $250,000 each for 60 and 75 days, $750,000 apiece for 90, 120, 150 and 180 days and $125,000 each for 135 and 165 days.
The deal includes a 2014 option that would become guaranteed at $5 million if he has 90-119 days on the active 25-man big league roster or DL this year, not including days on the DL because of the right-arm injury. It would become guaranteed at $6 million if he has 120-149 days and at $8 million if he has at least 150 days.
If the 2014 salary is $5 million, he would earn $600,000 each for five, 10, 15, 20 and 25 games started. If the 2014 salary is $6 million, he would earn $400,000 for each of those levels.
Liriano can earn $500,000 a year in performance bonuses: $150,000 each for 180 and 200 innings, and $200,000 for 190 innings.
The 29-year-old is 53-54 with a 4.40 ERA in seven major league seasons. He went 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA in 2012 while splitting the season between the Twins and White Sox.
He pitched a no-hitter for Minnesota against the White Sox on May 3, 2011.
Pirates finally get deal with Liriano done
- Pro
Bengals make low offer to Hawkins
Johnstown's Andrew Hawkins grew up with the Cincinnati Bengals while following his older brother Artrell Hawkins Jr.'s NFL career.
The younger Hawkins could see himself wearing a Bengals uniform and playing wide receiver in Cincinnati for years to come. But the Bishop McCort High School graduate knows the business side of the NFL sometimes gets in the way of the storybook ending. -
Liriano sharp in Pirates victory over Rays
Russell Martin homered for the third time this spring and drove in four runs to lead Francisco Liriano and the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 10-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.
Martin had an RBI single during a six-run first inning against Rays starter Matt Moore and added a three-run homer off Grant Balfour in the fourth. -
McCutchen leads Pirates offense in loss to Twins
Andrew McCutchen homered, doubled and singled Friday for the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 6-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
McCutchen went 3 for 3, scored twice and drove in two runs. The reigning NL MVP is 8 for 11 in four games this spring. -
Pirates, Jays rained out
The Toronto Blue Jays' spring training game at the Pittsburgh Pirates was rained out Thursday.
The game will not be made up. -
Pirates rough up Blue Jays' Morrow
Brandon Morrow allowed five runs and six hits over three innings in the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-4 loss Wednesday to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Morrow was making his second appearance since a season-ending forearm injury last May. On Feb. 28, the right-hander gave up two hits and one run in two relief innings. -
Steelers sign Polamalu, cut Foote
Troy Polamalu and Heath Miller are doing their part to help the Pittsburgh Steelers get under the 2014 salary cap.
The eight-time Pro Bowl safety and the venerable tight end both signed new three-year contracts with the team on Wednesday designed to give the Steelers some cap relief before the new league year begins next week. -
Pens pick up pair of forwards
The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't go for the big splash at the trade deadline this time.
General manager Ray Shero believes the little ripples his team made instead can be just as effective as the franchise pursues its fourth Stanley Cup. -
Penguins snap out of slump
Matt Niskanen scored his second goal of the game 7:29 into the third period, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Nashville Predators 3-1 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game skid.
Niskanen and the Penguins helped ruin the return of Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne in his first game since Oct. 22 following an E. coli infection in his surgically repaired left hip. -
Morton throws three scoreless innings in Pirates victory
Charlie Morton allowed one hit in three scoreless innings, helping the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.
Morton did not strike out a batter, but he kept Detroit off the bases during his short stint, aside from Don Kelly's second-inning double. -
Alvarez, Martin hit two-run shots in Bucs' win
Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin hit two-run homers off Brandon Workman, who started in place of injured Jake Peavy, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 Monday.
Pittsburgh leadoff batter Starling Marte reached on an infield single in the first that stopped an 0-for-9 start, and Alvarez homered to right off Workman with two outs. - More Pro Headlines

Monster ClarityHD Micro hands-on Video
Monster ClarityHD Micro hands-on Video Transcript
-Hi. I'm David Carnoi, Executive Editor for cnet.com and I'm here with the Master ClarityHD Micro Bluetooth Speaker. This is about the iClarity Speaker. This is the ClarityHD Micro. This Clarity has a list price of around $200. You only get it right out of the way. It's not worth $200, but it is worth about $125. This is a good, little Bluetooth speaker. It's just a bit overpriced at $200. It competes with the Jawbone Jambox and sounds very similar, offers very big sound for its size. You can crank the volume of both your Smartphone or tablet and the volume in this will play very loud. -There was a time- -It offers a reasonable amount of bass for its small size, but some people will, obviously, think it's a little bit thin. Really, it's strongest in the midrange. Vocals do sound very clean on this speaker and, all in all, it is a pretty detailed speaker. Obviously, it does have its limitations. Some of the extra features you get in this, it does have an audio input for devices that don't have Bluetooth connect, a non-Bluetooth device to this. It does charge via USB, has rechargeable battery, gives you about 6 hours of battery life playing at a moderate to high level volume. And you can change the grills on this. It has removable grills. They come in different colors. It costs around $20 each. So, that's kind of the accessorizing of this speaker. There's also a hand strap for it and it has a rubberized bottom so that, if you do get a lot of bass out of it, it doesn't move around when you played it loud volumes. Fellows, it's worth mentioning that this does support the app Ex Codec that's found in certain Smartphones like the Galaxy S3 that offers in fury, slightly clearer Bluetooth streaming. It doesn't matter as much with a smaller speaker like this, but some people will think it's a nice added feature that has that compatibility. All in all, a worthy competitor, the Jawbone Jambox, not worth $200, but if you can find it online for a $125 or less, I have seen it for those prices, it's definitely worth a long look. I'm David Carnoi and that's the Monster ClarityHD Micro Bluetooth Speaker. Thanks for watching.

The Citiscape Metro on-ear headphones have a great sense of style for a budget-priced headphone, but the sound lacks clarity.
Monster iMotion CarPlay 3000 (hands-on)
Monster's iMotion CarPlay allows users control the playback of a connected iPod with the wave of a hand.
The Toshiba Excite 7 tablet is competitively priced and features a microSD card expansion slot.
Shure SE530 Sound Isolating Earphones
The Shure SE530 headphones offer exceptional clarity; deep, tight bass; rich, enveloping sound; and great noise isolation.
The Xitel Soundaround processor doesn't convincingly simulate surround sound, but it enhances the clarity of DVD dialogue and boosts the bass output of small speakers.
Boston Acoustics MicroSystem CD
Boston Acoustics' sublime-sounding MicroSystem CD is a better value than the identically priced Bose counterpart
The Urbanears Plattan headphones are all about style, which unfortunately doesn't leave much room for great sound in this case. Beware of mushy bass, nasally mids, and an absence of clarity.
TDK Life On Record A33 Wireless Weatherproof Speaker hands-on
While the A33 has a few small shortcomings, including only average battery life at 6 hours, it delivers very good sound for its size and $150 price tag.
Monster ClarityHD Micro Review
The good: Compact wireless Bluetooth speaker; attractive design with swappable speaker grilles for easy color changes; includes carrying pouch; built-in speaker phone for cell phone calls; supports the AptX audio codec.
The bad: Not a good deal at its list price of $199.99; battery life isn't as good as the Jawbone Jambox's.
The bottom line: The Monster ClarityHD Micro is a very good little Bluetooth speaker, but it's only worth buying if you can get it for less than $125.

Twin Japanese Nieces PT20
Throughout your life you will have many surprises, like finding a spare 20 in a suit pocket. It hits you out of the blue but you feel great when it happens. The smiling woman sitting on me, only inches from my face, had just hit me with some absolutely joyous news. We are going to have another baby!! Instantly I could feel my heart beating in my ears and my breath feel a little shallow in my chest as my eyes instantly dropped down to look at her belly through the water. I had flashes of carrying our baby in my arms, watching Kayko breast feed with a huge smile on her face, and all of the other wonderful things that happen when you have a new born. I looked back up into her eyes as she clamped herself onto me with her legs, arms and pussy, holding me firmly against her and inside her. Her expression would remind you of someone who had just won the lottery. I could see the joy in her eyes and the happiness seemed to radiate from every inch of her. She was truly happy.
(A little note about Kayko and her monthly cycle, I could set my watch by her. Every 28 days, without fail, she is on time every time, and it has been that way for the last 12 years. Never once has she gone over by even a day. So when she was one day late, she made a trip to her doctor.)
"So when did this happen?" I asked as I squeezed her breasts in my hands, making her hard nipples poke me in the chest.
"It was on your birthday," she replied as she squeezed me inside her in sync with the squeeze of her breasts. "I just wanted to give you something special."
I released her breasts and put my arms around her, holding her next to me with a firm embrace. I gave her a gentle kiss before I pulled back to look her directly in the eyes. "Sweetheart, you are the most wonderful and loving woman I have ever known and will ever know. You do more for me in a day than most wives do for their husbands in a lifetime." (Sorry if I offend anyone with that statement) I looked into her beautiful brown eyes and at the gentle curves of her face and lips before I continued saying, "You are my one true love, the holder of my heart and the possessor of my love. You are the greatest gift I could ever have." I paused for just a moment to watch her reactions. I could see the tears starting to well up in her eyes and I could feel her body start to tremble as I spoke softly to her. "I am so honored to be your husband and the father of your children. 'Give me something special?'" I said with a smile and a bit of a chuckle, "You already have. You have made my life complete."
Tears absolutely poured out of her eyes before she pulled herself hard against me and began crying her eyes out on my shoulder. I could feel her love radiating through my entire body as she sat there, trembling against me. I have to admit that I had a bit of a lump in my throat as well. I was going to be a father again with the love of my life. It felt like we were in our own little world, wrapped up in a blanket that shielded us from the rest of the world as we sat there in the hot water holding each other close. Hearing nothing and feeling nothing except for each other and the embrace that we shared. I can honestly say that for that one moment, time stopped.
(You guys have no idea how fucking badly this hurts to try and describe this without my Kayko here. You get the idea so I am going to skip ahead a little.)
When we rejoined the rest of the family the kids were all in the pool splashing around and having fun. It's great to see them interacting with each other. Mark and Shiori were on one side of the shallow end of the pool while Erin and Saki were on the other side. The big beach ball we have was sailing back and forth between them as they played some sort of modified volleyball. Laughter and cheers sounded from the group as they splashed water and jockeyed for position. As Kayko and I approached the pool, play slowed until all of them were looking at us.
"I have some news for you guys," I said as I put my left arm around my wife's back when we stopped at the pools edge. All four of them gathered together in the shallow water just below me and Kayko and looked up intently with curious expressions on their faces.
"What is it?" resounded from the group as the all drifted a little closer to us. You could see the excitement on their faces as I prepared to speak. I am not sure what they expected, but the amount of interest each was displaying showed me that all of them were genuinely curious.
I cleared my throat and gave Kayko a quick glance. She had a smile on her face and just gave me a little nod of approval before looking back at the gathered crowd. "We are going to have to make a few changes around the house." I said with a very stern tone about my voice. I could see their expressions change from curiosity to something that resembled uncertainty and possibly panic.
"Why?" asked Shiori after she gave Mark a quick glance before backing up against his chest.
"Well," I said, as I gave the impression that someone was in trouble. "We have a situation that is going to require some major changes, and it involves all of you."
Again, all of their expressions changed and they started looking back and forth at each other like someone had just farted in the car but would not admit it. I know it was a bit mean to string them along like this, and to be honest I was actually enjoying myself a little. But when Kayko gave me a gentle nudge in the ribs with her elbow I knew it was time to let the cat out of the bag.
"We are going to have another house guest," I said as I gave my wife an additional squeeze. "And they are going to be staying for quite a long time."
Mouths dropped open and Mark quickly put his arm around Shiori, drawing her tightly against him. I guess he figured that we were going to separate him and Shiori, but that was about as far from the truth as you could get. Erin and Sakis expressions changed from one of bewilderment to the beginnings of understanding.
"You see," I said, finally getting around to the point, "we are going to have another baby."
Can you say look of shock?! Everyone froze for just a moment as the news sunk in. The silence was so deafening that you probably could have heard a mouse fart in the next county. In the blink of an eye all of their expressions changed. The wide open mouths of Erin and Saki turned into huge smiles and their eyes got as big as saucers. Shioris' expression changed to one of joy and she quickly turned around to Mark and began hugging the stuffing out of him. Mark hugged her back and began smiling with genuine happiness on his face. As quickly as their expressions changed they were all looking at Kaykos' belly. Then the onslaught of questions poured out of them.
"When did this happen? How did this happen? Is it a boy or a girl? When is he going to be here? What are you going to name him?..." you get the idea. Everyone was trying to speak at once as they began piling out of the pool. Four naked kids hugged themselves to us with an excitement that built by the moment. It really was one of the cooler moments that we have shared as a family.
Kayko was the one who reeled in the excitement. "Alright everyone," she said as she made a little distance between herself and the soaking wet kids, "we'll get to all of your questions. Hurry up and get cleaned up for dinner." she said with a clap of her hands.
"Dress nice," I said, causing Kayko to turn quickly to look at me. "We're going to go out and eat."
All of the kids jumped and took off toward the house, laughing and cheering as they ran. It had been a while since we had eaten out, but I figured that today was definitely a time to celebrate. As the kids scrambled through the door I felt Kayko gently grasp my hand. She had this strange warm smile on her face as I turned my head to gaze upon her. She seemed like she was glowing as she moved in close to me while we walked across the blazing hot yard.
"I love you so much," she said with a smile.
I responded by letting go of her hand and wrapping my right arm around her. "I love you too sweetheart." And I gave her a nice little squeeze. I was on top of the world!
In 20 minutes we were ready to go. I had donned a nice pair of kakis and a golf shirt while Kayko was wearing her favorite red kimono. It was the same one she had worn the first time we had gone out to eat while I was in Japan. She looks hot as hell in it which almost guarantees that I have a boner the whole time. Her dark tanned legs extending down to her favorite black high heels beckoned me to lick and kiss every inch of them. And what is really the capper for me is the knowledge that she is completely naked underneath. The only other items she wore were her jewelry, capped off by the expensive pendent I bought her in Spain. To say that my wife looked like a million bucks was an understatement. She was absolutely gorgeous!
Mark was dressed in a similar fashion as me. He was wearing a nice pair of Dockers and a golf shirt while Shiori had on one of her miniskirts and a nice blouse. They matched, looking almost like a pair of bookends. Erin and Saki were both wearing miniskirts with equally nice tops as well, adding a nice splash of color to the group. Everyone looked great. As I held the door to the garage open for them, each of the girls, Erin, Saki, and Kayko each handed me the remote control for the egg inside them as they passed, giving me a smile and a wink as the remotes were placed in my palm. Shiori did not. She stayed glued to Mark like he was her life line or something. It was actually ok. I had 'given' her to Mark, so teasing her with the egg was now his responsibility.
We drove into the city to this really nice Asian restaurant that is Kaykos' favorite. It's expensive, but well worth the money if you ask me. Every time we have been there the food has been outstanding, matched only by superior service. Kayko says it reminds her of being back in Japan, and she always reminds me of our first dinner out and the limo ride. I always respond in the same fashion, I turn her egg on. Only today, Erin and Saki got their eggs turned on too. My daughter and my pet both fidgeted back and forth a little as we walked through the restaurant. It had been a while for them since the last time they were out in public with their wonder toys buzzing away inside them. But they handled things nicely thanks to my wife's instruction. We got our usual table, a private dining table in a separate room large enough for all of us, including the twins. This was the first time they had been here, but they became comfortable with the surroundings very quickly.
The dining table was a traditional style Japanese table that you might find in any home in Japan. (Although considerably more expensive.) It was long and built low to the ground, and was surrounded by many large pillows for the seats. Leaving our shoes at the door we filed in to the room and took our seats. Kayko sat to my right with Erin sitting next to her, while my pet sat on my left with Shiori and then Mark. The family was well ordered, and I felt like the master. Kayko sat on her pillow in a very traditional style, with her feet folded underneath her in a kneeling position. The kids all sat Indian style. I will just say that I did my best, I am not as young as I used to be. When the food came in I turned the girl's eggs off. Granted I do like the power of turning them off and on at my whim, but I wanted everyone to enjoy their food without any distractions. Besides, I already knew that when we got home the girls were going to rape me. So the brief pause while we ate was not going to be a big deal.
Everyone chowed down like they were hungry. I had the usual big helping of oysters along with a nice slab of Kobe beef. The other meals ranged from duck and soup, to shrimp and fish. Almost every type of food was displayed on the table somewhere, and it all smelled fabulous! About half way through the meal Saki reached over and tapped my leg.
"What is it honey?" I asked as I leaned over her way a little.
Saki stretched herself up toward my ear and whispered, "Will you turn my egg on please?"
I just looked at the young girl and smile before reaching into my pocket. A big smile came across her face just after I flipped the switch, causing her to wiggle back and forth a little on her pillow. I looked over at Erin, who was pulling the tail off a shrimp when I flipped her egg on. Instantly she sat upright and her mouth dropped open before she looked over at me and smiled. I gave her a wink before turning to look at Kayko. Kayko had seen what I had done to the girls and was sitting looking at me with wanton lust in her eyes. I leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss as I flipped the switch for her egg to the on position. Kayko didn't make a move. She just gazed back at me before she took in a slightly deeper breath than normal before letting out a soft exhale. She loves having the egg inside her when we are out, and I just love turning her on.
It would be fair to say that the bulk of the conversation at the table was about what we were going to name our new arrival. Everyone had at least 20 suggestions with names ranging from Tabitha and Tim, to Zander and Jen. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm in everyone, even though it probably complicated the issue. But everyone got to have their say, and that is what was more important at this time. Just the fact that everyone got to participate in some fashion made the whole dinner great.
By the time we finished our desert, Erin and Saki both appeared to have had many orgasms. Both of them were breathing hard, and Erins nipples stuck out hard against her blouse. I imagine that their legs were probably rather wobbly, but I had no intention of turning their eggs off. I was thoroughly horny by this time and I was definitely ready for some action. As we stood to leave I noticed the big wet spots on Erin and Sakis' pillows. Both of them had left a large wet spot where their naked pussies had oozed out my favorite drink. Oops. I gave a very generous tip when I paid for our $200.00 meal. It was the least I could do.
The ride home was absolute torture for me. While the kids were talking back and forth about who had the better name for the baby, Kayko had turned sideways in her seat with her feet toward me. She had her legs spread as wide as she could get them and was digging her fingers in her pussy while grinning at me like a naughty school girl. I thought I was going to rip a hole in my pants from the boner I was sporting as I occasionally glanced down from driving to see her pulling her pussy wide open before stuffing three fingers into herself. This is the only reason why I hate living so far out of the city. And Kayko seems to enjoy the agony she puts me through. For almost the whole way back to the house Kayko teased me, brushing my hand away every time I tried to reach over to sample the delicacy she was frothing up for me. I wanted her so badly that I almost pulled over several times to screw her brains out. But sensing my state of arousal and frustration she finally sat up and straightened out the front of her kimono.
"You can wait for a few more minutes," she smiled.
I wasted no time getting us back to the house. Once in the driveway the kids all piled out of the car and headed straight for the house, leaving me and Kayko behind.
"Come with me," Kayko said as she gently pulled my hand, leading me toward the back yard.
Who am I to argue? She led me to the patio where the large sun bathing chairs are and stepped out of her shoes. I already know this routine and began stripping as quickly as I could, discarding my clothes into a pile. By the time I was naked Kayko had the lounger folded out flat and was pulling her kimono off. I love watching my wife disrobe. Aside from the fact that each move looks like it has been rehearsed to excite me, her body is absolutely stunning. The deep red kimono came over her head to reveal her beautifully tanned and toned body. Her nipples stood out proudly from her firm round breasts, and her neatly trimmed bush highlighted the gentle curves of her hips. Every last inch of her is the same caramel color, from the edge of her hair line to the gaps between her toes. And there is not a single place on her body that is not firm. All of the years of exercise and training have kept her in impeccable shape. And now I was going to enjoy my wife who was going to do her best to pleasure me in any fashion that I desired.
I lay down on the lounger and looked up at her with my dick sticking straight up, ready for the wonderful feelings I was about to experience. Kayko moved gracefully to my right side and stopped with her feet apart, offering me a good look at her pussy with the black wire hanging out of it. I reached up and grasp the wire. It was gooey with her cream, and it only took a gentle tug to extract the egg from inside her. A rather large flow of her cum accompanied the egg as it came out, falling to the patio between her feet with an audible splat.
"Looks like someone is horny," I said as I placed the egg on my pile of clothes.
Kayko smiled down at me as she stepped over the lounger, "You have no idea."
Kayko aligned herself with my sky pointing dick and slowly lowered herself onto me, engulfing all of my cock inside her steaming hot crevice. It felt like I was sliding into molten butter as inch after inch disappeared into my wife. Kayko slid all the way down until her wide open labia came in contact with my groin before she stopped. This is one of the most outstanding things Kayko does to me. There is not any other place on our bodies that touch except for my cock inside her. And once she is down all the way, she turns on that fabulous milking machine inside her. Firmly and steadily she squeezes and releases my cock with her pussy, pulling and tugging at my engorged member. I reached up with my hands to grab her breasts, but Kayko stopped me.
"No touching," she said with a devilish grin. "I want you to just feel inside me."
I was in agony! I wanted to hold her breasts in my hands and feel their soft warmth. But Kayko had her own agenda for me. She quickly switched her pussy into overdrive, squeezing and releasing me from bottom to top. It felt like she was trying to pull my dick into her using only her muscles. I lay still and enjoyed the fabulous sensations, relishing in the fact that my wife was doing all of this just for me. After a few moments she slowed her pace before she stopped.
"I want to do something a little different," she said as she slowly stood up and pulled herself off of me. "Hold still," she said as she headed toward the house. "I'll be right back."
I had no idea what she had in mind, but I figured it had to be good. I looked up at the stars and wondered in anticipation as I waited the few minutes for her to return. When she did come back she was carrying a small blindfold.
"What have you got there?" I asked as she carefully placed the blindfold over my eyes and tied it behind my head.
"This will change a lot of things," her voice said as I was suddenly in complete darkness.
This was something new. Kayko has always enjoyed being naked in front of me. She has no fear or hesitation in showing off her magnificent body to me in any position that I want. Now, being blind folded, I had only my sense of touch to experience my wife. I lay there perfectly still, waiting for the next stimulus to come when I felt my cock once again being engulfed in her molten hot box. The feeling was absolutely incredible! Without my sight everything seemed to be magnified by a factor of 1000! Every inch that entered her seemed better than the last. Once again she stopped when I was fully embedded inside her before she turned on the milking machine. WOW!! In my mind's eye I could 'see' her with her legs wide apart, mounted on my hard shaft. Slowly and steadily she began squeezing me, eliciting a loud moan from me as her pussy worked its magic.
"Oh my god!" I moaned as she started sliding up and down my length at the same time. "You are incredible!"
I heard only the faintest little grunt of approval as she continued to bring me closer and closer to my goal, riding up and down on me like a jockey in slow motion. Again I reached up with my hands to grasp her breasts.
"No touching," she said sternly, before stopping her trek about half way up my shaft.
"I'm sorry honey," I said as I brought my hands back down to my sides. "You just feel so good."
"I know," she said as she slid back down my shaft before pulling all the way off me again. "I want to please you for being so wonderful to me."
Again I was in agony. Slickened with cum, my cock was now out in the exposed air. And even though it was almost 90 degrees outside, the slight little breeze made my cock feel cool. I wanted back inside my wife. Back inside the warm surroundings that reminds me that I am home again. And to my great pleasure, I didn't have to wait for long. Again I felt my cock slide into its molten hot sheath, once again held firmly inside his soaking wet home. I let out a loud moan of approval as she began sliding up and down my shaft, fucking me with greater diligence than before. The darkness of the blindfold only heightened the sensations of her delicious pussy as she raised and lowered herself onto me at an ever increasing rate.
"Would you like some pussy to eat?" Kayko asked as her pace slowed a little.
"Who do you have in mind?" I asked playfully.
"You have to guess," her voice answered as her pace resumed.
I had not heard a thing when I got the unmistakable whiff of pussy directly in front of my nose. How she had managed to get one of the girls out there without me hearing was beyond me, but yet the aroma was undeniable. I opened my mouth and stuck out my tongue only to have a nice soaking wet pussy lowered into place. The sensations were just as intense as when I was first blindfolded and Kayko had sat on me. Whichever one of the girls it was she tasted fabulous! I could feel the delicate folds of her labia resting on my lips, and the hard little nub of her clit against my nose as I began devouring the mystery snatch. I started to reach up to grasp the legs on either side of my head but again Kayko stopped me.
"No touching!" she said again sternly, and once again my dick was out in the air cooling. I grunted a note of dissatisfaction into my unknown feast as my hands were pushed under the small of my back. "Now keep your hands there," Kaykos' voice resounded one more time just before my cock was engulfed again.
I felt helpless, but I was loving every last moment as my cock was being ridden up and down again and my tongue swirled around inside my unknown feast like there was no tomorrow. Somebody was going to cum, and it was going to happen soon. With a little tilt of my head and a few flicks of my tongue, my late night snack began bucking back and forth on my face, sending a shower of cum into my mouth and down over my cheeks. With one tiny little gasp I could tell it was Saki. She bucked her hips back and forth as my tongue licked and tasted all she had to offer. Combined with the grinding my cock was getting I lost it. My cock swelled up and my nuts tightened as my impending orgasm shifted into high gear. At the same moment a sense of urgency came across my rider, sending her into hyper drive. In a flash my cock was being squeezed and ridden at the speed of light. I couldn't help myself when my orgasm started. I pulled my hands from behind my back, grasp on to the legs on either side of my head, pulled my face into the pussy I had been eating and screamed at the top of my lungs. My back arched and I fired, blasting a huge load of sperm up into my rider. All I could hear was my heart pounding in my ears as I unloaded.
Sakis hands ripped the mask off my eyes as her orgasm continued, revealing my naked pet looking down at me with her eyes and mouth wide open. I stuck my tongue up into her as far as I could while my cock continued to blast away, unloading my balls in a massive blaze of glory. I needed to breathe so I pulled Saki up a little, freeing my mouth to take in a gulp of desperately needed air. As I did I looked between her legs. That is when I saw that it was Erin who was mounted on my cock and not Kayko. Kayko was bent over behind her with her hands on Erins hips and she was pushing her down onto me. That one sight alone almost killed me. The next three shots were incredibly amplified in not only volume, but force. Erins' mouth was wide open and her eyes were tightly closed as she took a huge load from her father. I was so confused at this moment that I could not have told you which way was up, let alone what had just happened.
Saki leaned forward and flopped down on the top of the lounger and off to my right. She was breathing hard, and she pulled her knees up to her chest and rolled up in the fetal position. Kayko looked over Erins shoulder to see me looking up at them when she leaned down next to Erins' ear and said, "Look, see how much your father enjoyed you?"
Erins' eyes opened to lock with mine. Instantly a huge smile come over her face just before she leaned forward and threw herself onto my chest, hugging me very tightly. I threw my arms around my daughter and hugged her tightly against me while I looked up at Kayko. Kayko did not let up on the pressure on Erins hips. She continued to hold her down on me even though we could not get any closer together. With the last little twitch from my hips my orgasm was over. Erin was full, and her mother made sure none of it was going to leak out. As Erin lay gasping for air on my chest Kayo slowly stood up, releasing the pressure she had been applying to Erins hips.
"Holy shit," I said, halfway aware of everything that had just transpired. "That was incredible!"
Kayko looked down at me and smiled before she walked off toward the house, leaving me with the two exhausted girls on the patio.
"Thank you daddy," Erin said with her face still pressed against my chest. "That felt so good."
I placed my hand on the back of her head and held her close to me. "Thank you sweetie," I replied as I gently patted her head and stroked her hair. "But what gave you guys the idea to do this?" I asked in a bit of bewilderment.
"It was mom's idea," Erin said as she raised her head up to look at me. "She wanted to do something a little different for you."
As Erin finished speaking Kayko reappeared from the house. She was carrying the large dildo that was molded from me in her right hand and smiling like the cat that just ate the canary.
"Well that certainly was a surprise," I retorted while smiling up at my wife.
Kayko stopped by the side of the lounger even with my hips. As she bent over she looked at me. "You have been so wonderful to all of us, and the girls wanted to do something a little special for you." With that said Kayko barked out something in Japanese, causing Saki to immediately get to her feet and head into the house. "Erin," she continued as she lowered the dildo between Erins wide spread legs, "pull off your father."
Erin raised her ass up, pulling my length from deep inside her. As soon as my dick pulled free Kayko plugged her pussy with the dildo, trapping all of my sperm inside her. Kayko looked down at us with a smile on her face as she stood up straight. "Now go to bed, we have a busy day tomorrow."
"Thanks mom," Erin replied. Before she raised herself up from me, my daughter gave me a huge hug. "Thanks daddy, I love you so much."
"I love you too sweetheart," I responded, giving her an equally big hug.
My daughter stepped over me and scooted into the house, keeping her legs together as she went. The end of the dildo was just barely visible in the gap between her legs as she walked through the door and disappeared inside.
I looked up at Kayko as she swung her leg over me and sat back down on my semi hard cock, taking all of me back inside her. When she was fully seated she began squeezing me again, halting the deflation of my dick and causing me to grow hard again. "What do you mean we have a busy day tomorrow?" I asked as I grasp my wife by her hips and pulled her down onto me.
"You'll see," she replied with a pleasant smile. "It is the 4th of July and you will be home all day."
"Yes," I responded with a bit of uncertainty in my voice.
"Well," she continued as she rode up and down a little, combining it with my favorite rippling action from her talented pussy. "We have a nice little celebration in store for you."
"A celebration?" I was wondering what she had in mind. For my birthday the girls had played 'games' for my enjoyment, leaving me with a raging boner. Now she had something planned for the 4th? This was going to be good!
"Come on," Kayko said as she stood up and stepped to the side of the lounger. "There is still more for you tonight."
Now, I am no dumbass. When my wife tells me there is more in store for me I know I can take that to the bank. Her devilish little mind had something in store for me, now it was just a matter of finding out what it was and experiencing it. As I stood up Kayko grasp me by my dick and gave a gentle tug, leading me through the house to my awaiting enjoyment. In a way it's kind of cool. Her soft hand feels good around my cock, and it is a different kind of feeling knowing that I am being lead around by the very thing my wife is going to pleasure. And I think it gives Kayko a feeling of power knowing that I am going to go exactly where she wants me to go. So I followed along in complete compliance, knowing full well that in just a little while I was going to be cumming again inside my exquisite wife.
Kayko lead me through the house and up the stairs to our bedroom, never once loosening her grip on me. As we passed Mark and Shioris' room we could easily hear them screwing away like there was no tomorrow. Good for him. At least he was getting some on just as regular of a basis as me. I will admit that I was again fully hard by the time we walked into the bedroom, and I was ready to stick my cock back in my wife with a vengeance. Inside, my pet was standing at the foot of the bed in her usual inspection position. Her feet were apart with her legs straight, and she was bent over at the waist while holding her pussy wide open with both hands. Kayko lead me over behind her and plugged the end of my dick straight into the waiting girl. Saki made no move at all; she just let out a small sigh as the first 2 inches of my dick slid into her.
"Your pet has been waiting for this all day," Kayko said as she released my cock and put her arm around my waist. "I am going to watch you two," she continued as she pulled on my waist, forcing me to drive all the way into her. "Give her what she wants." my wife said as she turned and began to crawl up onto the bed. Looking over her shoulder she gave me a little smile as she flipped over and lay down on her back. "And when you're done, then you get me." And with that said she spread her legs and slowly began rubbing her clit.
What would you do? Probably the same thing I did in this situation. I began fucking my pet like she was a plastic fuck doll. Saki gripped the sheets with both hands, making fists with her fingers bunching up the material as she hung on for dear life. I grasp her hips with both hands and lifted her up, picking her feet up from the floor as I plowed into her with very powerful strokes. Kayko stuffed three fingers into her snatch and hammered them in and out furiously as she watched me try and destroy our niece. The sight of my wife finger fucking herself had the effect of making my dick harder, which I forced in and out of my little pet without any regard. I was driving in deep into my little pet, and she was loving every second of it, grunting out moans of pleasure every time I bottomed out in her young snatch.
"Bring her down here," Kayko said as she patted the bed next to her.
Pulling free from her I tossed Saki onto the bed. She landed next to Kayko and immediately flipped over onto her back, spreading her legs wide open in the process to reveal her bald little pussy. Her lips were spread open and her hole was still dilated from my cock having been in her when she positioned herself to accept me again. As I got up on the edge of the bed, Kayko rolled over and got to her knees. She was getting ready to sit on Sakis face when I stopped her in mid process. As soon as her leg had come over Saki, leaving her pussy spread wide open; I grasp her by her hips and pulled her back onto my waiting dick. Kayko let out a bit of a gasp from the unexpected intrusion when I drove into her, causing her to turn her head to the right and look over her shoulder at me.
"You're supposed to be in your pet," she said as her body jerked back and forth from the force of my thrusts.
"I will be," I said as I slowed my pace a little. "Saki, raise your hips up."
Saki spread her feet wide apart and raised her hips till her belly was touching Kaykos'. I released the grip on my wife's hips, but reached around her and grasp onto Sakis' hips, holding her up against Kayko. With one quick jerk I was out of Kayko, and on the next thrust I was in Saki. A noted 'aaahh' of approval came from my pet as I thrust into her 5 or 6 times before withdrawing on an out stroke. On the next in stroke I was back inside Kayko, driving deep into my wife again. I gave Kayko 5 or 6 good hard strokes before I pulled out and went back into Saki. Back and forth I went, switching between the two girls every 5 or 6 strokes for maybe 10 minutes. With her shoulders still on the bed, Saki had her hands clamped onto Kaykos' breasts and she was squeezing them like she was trying to milk a cow. Both girls were moaning, and I was thoroughly enjoying myself even though I had more pussy at my disposal than I had dick.
Saki was the first to cum. Her legs began to shake and her pussy began to squish loudly every time I was inside her. If it had not been for my hands holding her hips she would have collapsed onto the bed, leaving Kayko to handle alone to handle me. As Saki shook she squeezed Kaykos' breasts hard, sending my wife over the edge and into the realm of an orgasmic tidal wave. This was great! It's the first time I had ever made two women cum at almost the same time by fucking them. Talk about a blast to your ego, this was it! I began pounding harder into both of them every time I switched back and forth. Cum from both of them dripped off my nut sack while I hammered away into one, and then the other.
Kayko finally looked over her shoulder and said between gasps for air, "Well…make up your mind, where do you want to cum? We're both ready."
NASA this is Houston, you have a green light for engine ignition. Commence start up! To hear my wife tell me to choose which one of them to cum in was like opening the flood gates of the grand cooler dam. In a micro second the countdown went from 10 to 1 and the fueling process was underway. I was already inside Kayko when the first blast started up the launch tube, so I just drove deep into her and let her have the first two shots. Kayko let out a little sigh as she felt the hot juice spray inside her, causing her to squeeze my cock with her pussy. But her enjoyment was short lived as I pulled out in the middle of the second shot. Without a drop wasted I stuffed my cock back into Saki to finish firing my load.
"Oh yes!" Saki squealed as I sent the rest of my orgasm down into her hot depths.
Kayko dropped down onto her elbows and began French kissing Saki as I pumped the last of my load into her. Sakis arms came up around Kaykos' neck as the two kissed like they had been lifelong lovers, swirling their tongues around inside each other's mouths. I grunted and jerked the last few times before I pulled out of Saki and sat back on my heels, dropping my pets' waist to have her land on the bed between Kaykos knees. I had a tremendous view from where I was sitting. My wife's fabulous ass was sticking out, almost in my face, with her now used pussy glistening from the combined juice from the three of us. Saki was lying flat on her back between Kaykos legs with her legs wide apart, and her bald naked pussy was shining up at me, glistening in the light just like my wife's. 'Mission accomplished' I thought to myself as I watched the fervor of the kiss between them slowly fade. When they did finally part Kayko looked into the eyes of Saki and whispered something to her, causing Saki to nod her head yes and smile before looking down at me. Both of them seemed to be happy.
We all took a quick bath before heading to bed. I got to watch my pet and my wife clean out their pussies before having both of them ride me briefly in the hot pool. They truly do love me, and I love them just as much. We lay down in the bed with Kayko to my left and my little pet mounted on my cock, lying on my chest. Can you think of any better way to sleep?
The women in my home are genuine treasures, and I really mean it. My wife, my daughter, and my pet all loved me like I am the king of the universe. I am not sure what I did to deserve such a high and respected position, but I give all of the credit for the stability of the family to my Kayko. She was the real master here. And I am not just talking about all of the wonderful things she did with her body. I considered that as a fringe benefit. I am talking about all of the things she did to keep the family together. She washed the clothes and cooked the meals; she was the arbitrator for small issues as well as the supreme instructor for the girls. My wife tended the flowers and paid our bills while I was away, yet she asked for nothing in return. She just accepted what I give her and went about her business almost tirelessly, allowing me access to her body at any moment. And aside from being the glue that held this family together, she was absolutely gorgeous! I was the luckiest man alive. And it is not because of anything that I have done, it was all due to my wife. I miss you honey.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! [ Thu Nov 1 2012 10:04 PM ]
My entire family threw up after we ate here - TWICE. I know we shouldn't have tried again, but I just thought it was the stomach flu the first time, and the Dan Dan soup was actually delicious. Two times in a row is enough for me to say that there must be some serious food safety violations here. The service was not just slow, but downright rude. I asked the waitress for some more chili oil, and she said I could only have one small serving. I like very spicy food! And the spicy options on the menu are nowhere near spicy. When I began to ask her why there was a ration on chili oil, she refused to even look me in the face! This is not how you ask for repeat customers.....But, it was the puking that made the final decision for me. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!! Last edited [11/1/12 10:05 PM] |

Agility@Scale: Strategies for Scaling Agile Software Development
Is software development an art or a science?
I was recently in Bangalore speaking at the Rational Software Conference, which was really well done this year, and visiting customers. In addition to discussing how to scale agile software development approaches, particularly when the team is distributed geographically and organizationally, I was also asked about what I thought about a software factory approach to development. My instinctual reaction was negative, software factories can result in lower overall productivity as the result of over specialization of staff (I prefer generalizing specialists), too many hand-offs between these specialists (I find close collaboration to be far more effective), and too much bureaucratic overhead to coordinate these activities. I initially chalked it up to these people still believing that software development was mostly a science, or perhaps an engineering domain, whereas my experiences had made me come to believe that software development is really more art than it is a science. Yet, the consistent belief in this strategy by very smart and experienced people started me thinking about my position.
Just let me begin by saying that this blog posting isn't meant to be yet another round in the age old, and relatively inane, "art vs. science" debate within the software development community. That debate is a symptom of versusitis, a dread disease which particularly plagues the IT industry and which can any of us at any time. There is no known cure, although the combination of experience, open-mindedness, and critical thought are the best inoculation against versusitis that we have so far. In that vein, let me explore the issues as I see them and I will let you think for yourself. On the one hand software development has aspects of being an art for several reasons. First, the problem definition is never precise, nor accurate, and even when we have detailed specifications the requirements invariably evolve anyway. The lack of defined, firm requirements requires us to be flexible and to adjust to the situation that we find ourselves in. Second, teams typically find themselves in unique situations, necessitating a unique process and tool environment to reflect this (assuming that you want to be effective, otherwise there's nothing stopping you from having a "repeatable process" and consistent tool environment). Third, software is built by people for people, requiring that the development team have the ability to build a system with a user interface which meets the unique needs of their end users. One has only to look at the myriad UI designs out there to see that surely there is a bit of art going on. Fourth, if software development wasn't at least partially art then why hasn't anyone succeeded at building tools which take requirements as inputs and produce a viable solution that we can easily deploy? It's been over four decades now, so there's been sufficient time and resources available to build such tooling. Fifth, regardless of how much of a scientific/business facade we put over it, our success rate at producing up front detailed cost estimates and schedules speak for itself (see Funding Agile Projects for links to articles). On the other hand software development has aspects of being a science for several reasons. First, some aspects of software development have in fact been automated to a significant extent. Second, there is some mathematical basis to certain aspects of software development (although in the case of data-oriented activities the importance of relational theory often gets blown way out of proportion and I have yet to see a situation where formal methods proved to be of practical value). What does this have to do with Agility@Scale. As you know, one of the agile scaling factors is Organizational Complexity, and cultural issues are the hardest to overcome. Whether your organization believes that software development is mostly an art or mostly a science is a cultural issue which will be a major driver in you choice of methods and practices. Organizations which believe that software development is more of a science will prefer strategies such as software factories, model-driven architecture (MDA), and master data management (MDM). And there is ample evidence to support the claims that some organizations are succeeding at these strategies. Although you may not agree with these strategies, you need to respect the fact that many organizations are making them work in their environments. Similarly, organizations which believe that software development is more of an art will find that agile and lean strategies are a better fit, and once again there is ample evidence that organizations are succeeding with these approaches (there's also evidence that agile projects are more successful than traditional projects, on average). Once again, you may not agree with these strategies but you need to respect the fact that other people are making them work in practice. Trying to apply agile approaches within an organization that believes software development is mostly a science will find it difficult at best, and will likely need to embark on a multi-year program to shift their culture (likely an expensive endeavor which won't be worth the investment). Similarly, trying to apply a software factory strategy in an organization that believes that software development is mostly an art will also run aground. The bottom line is that one size does not fit all, that one strategy is not right for all situations and that you need to understand the trade-offs of various strategies, methodologies, techniques, and practices and apply them appropriately given the situation that you face. In other words, it depends! If you are embarking on a software process initiative, and you don't have the broad experience required to effective choose between strategies (very few organizations do, although many believe otherwise), then you should consider Measured Capability Improvement Framework (MCIF) to help increase your chance of success. |
Scrum Alliance 2.0I'm happy to announce that I've accepted the role of Managing Director of the Scrum Alliance (SA), a part-time position in addition to my duties here at IBM. On the surface this must appear to be a radical and unpredictable departure for me, considering my history of being critical when it comes to some of the past activities of the Scrum Alliance. To be fair, I've actually been critical of the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) scheme, and rightfully so. But I have also actively embraced the good ideas contained in Scrum and have incorporated them, with attribution, in my writings about Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) and other agile topics. I believe that I've made this very apparent in this blog and in other sources such as the Agile Modeling site. So, it really isn't such a radical departure for me afterall, although still arguably one that was difficult to predict. In fact, one of the reasons why the Scrum Alliance approached me to be Managing Director is the fact that I have been critical of many of the Scrum community's behaviors. So, over the next few months you're going to see what I believe to be some welcome changes at the Scrum Alliance. Our first step at serving you better will be to apply agile strategies and principles in the way that we work. Importantly, we'll be taking a three pronged strategy based on respect, clarity, and integrity. We have dubbed this strategy "Scrum Alliance 2.0". Respecting people To be more respectful of existing and potential SA members, we will begin executing the following activities:
Clarity through openness and honesty We are also starting to execute on four activities for improving the clarity of how we operate:
The fundamental idea here is that the Scrum Alliance should have nothing to hide from our membership. We've preached open and honest communication for years, now we're going to start actually living by those words. Yes, it may be a bit painful to work to this level of clarity, but we feel that you deserve this. Integrity through actions, not words Finally, we're taking three actions to increase the overall integrity of the Scrum community:
As I hope you have guessed by now this blog is an April Fool's joke. I have no intention of becoming the Managing Director of the Scrum Alliance and my condolences go out to anyone who would take on this position. This blog posting does however reflect what I would do to bring greater clarity, integrity, and respect to the Scrum community. The Scrum Alliance can and should choose to do a lot better. I hope it has been food for thought.
Disciplined Agile Delivery
At IBM Rational we define disciplined agile delivery as:
Disciplined agile delivery is an evolutionary (iterative and incremental) approach which regularly produces high quality solutions in a cost effective and timely manner via a risk and value driven life cycle. It is performed in a highly collaborative, disciplined, and self-organizing manner within an appropriate governance framework, with active stakeholder participation to ensure that the team understands and addresses the changing needs of its stakeholders to maximize business value provided. Disciplined agile delivery teams provide repeatable results by adopting just the right amount of ceremony for the situation which they face. Let's explore the key points in this definition:

Why Time Tracking Might Be the Most Valuable Activity an Agile Developer Performs
4,000 Visits
Recently I have been asked by several customer organizations to help them to understand how to account for the expense of agile software development. In particular, incremental delivery of solutions into production or the marketplace seem to be causing confusion with the financial people within these organizations. The details of accounting rules vary between countries, but the fundamentals are common. In order to get properly account for the costs incurred by software development teams you need to keep track of the amount of work performed and the type of work performed to develop a given solution. Time tracking doesn't have to be complex: at one customer developers spend less than five minutes a week capturing such information. Why is Time Tracking Potentially Valuable?There are several financial issues to be aware of:
The point is that the way that a software developer's work is accounted for can have a non-trivial impact upon your organization's financial position. What Do Agilists Think of Time Tracking?So, I thought I'd run a simple test. Last week on LinkedIn's Agile and Lean Software Development group I ran a poll to see what people thought about time tracking. The poll provided five options (a limitation of LinkedIn Polls) to choose from:
The poll results reveal that we have a long way to go. Of the people inputting their time more of them believed it was a waste of time than understood it to be a valuable activity. When you stop and think about it, the investment of five minutes a week to track your time could potentially save or even earn your organization many hundreds of dollars. Looking at it from a dollar per minute point of view, it could be the highest value activity that a developer performs in a given week. The discussion that ensued regarding the poll was truly interesting. Although there were several positive postings, and several neutral ones, many more were negative when it came to time tracking. Some comments that stood out for me included:
I think that there are several interesting implications from this discussion:
Parting ThoughtsDisciplined agilists are enterprise aware. This is important for two reasons: First, you want to optimize your organizational whole instead of sub-optimize on project-related efforts; second, you can completely miss opportunities to add real value for your organization. In the anecdote I provided it was clear that many agile developers believe that an activity such as time tracking is a waste when that clearly doesn't have to be the case. Worse yet, although someone brought up the issues around capitalizing software development expenses early in the conversation a group of very smart and very experienced people still missed this easy opportunity to see how they could add value to their organization. Granted, time tracking on an agile project team is nowhere near as sexy as topics such as continuous integration (CI), TDD, the definition of done, continous architecture, or many more. But you know what? Although it's a mind-numbingly mundane issue it is still an important one. 'Nuff said (I hope). |
What Three-Year Olds Can Teach Us About Software DevelopmentI have a young daughter and she's at the age where she wants to dress herself. The problem is that if we pick a single outfit and try to get her to wear it she refuses (I've lost count of the times I've heard "I don't want that"). At the other extreme if we let her pick her own outfit from the closet she'll be there for hours trying everything on. As experienced parents advise what we need to do is present her with two or three choices and ask her to pick what she wants. So how does this relate to software development? Once again, let's look at extremes. First, consider Scrum's approach of prescribing a single way of doing things. For example, Scrum prescribes that you hold a daily meeting, called a Scrum, where everyone stands up and answers the same 3 questions. Scrum also prescribes a single change management strategy where you have a stack of requirements prioritized by business value. Scrum prescribes three roles - ScrumMaster, Product Owner, and Team Member - as well as other things. Don't get me wrong, these strategies are all great in certain circumstances but not for all. Prescribing one way of doing things is an extreme, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised when people refuse to do it that way or struggle to make it work given the situation that they face. At the other extreme consider RUP's approach where it presents repository of techniques from which to select the ones appropriate for you. The problem is that now we have an overwhelming way of doing things from which to choose, all of them good options in certain situations. So why are we surprised when teams struggle to identify a coherent tailoring of RUP? Now let's consider the middle ground. The Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process decision framework takes a goals-driven approach. So, instead of saying "hold a daily stand up meeting and answer these three questions" it says to regularly coordinate within the team and there are several ways of doing so (hold a Scrum meeting, hold a Kanban-style meeting, and so on). Yes, DAD does provide a large number of techniques to choose from (as does the agile community in general) but it also provides a straightforward way to choose between them. DAD does this by describing the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and suggests when, and when not, to use each approach. When people are presented with viable options, and the trade-offs associated with each, it's much more likely that they'll choose an approach that is better suited for their situation. Scrum's single prescribed strategy works well only when that strategy is appropriate for the situation at hand. Similarly, telling my daughter exactly what to wear works well only when she's in the mood to wear that outfit. RUP's cafeteria approach to software process works well when you have the expertise, and time, to choose what's best for you. Similarly, asking my daughter to pick out her outfit from all the choices in her closet only works well when I've got a lot of time to wait for her. In both situations a better strategy is to present options, describe the trade offs, and then let people pick what's right for them given the context of the situation that they face. This is exactly what the DAD framework promotes. I believe the goals-based approach of Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) represents an important step forward in the software process realm. It's time to recognize the extremes for what they are and move to a more viable middle ground.
Disciplined Agile Delivery and DevOps
The basic idea behind DevOps is that your development strategy and operations strategy should reflect one another, that you should strive to optimize the whole IT process. This implies that development teams should work closely with your operations staff to deliver new releases smoothly into production and that your operations staff should work closely with development teams to streamline critical production issues.
DevOps has its source in agile software development, and it is an explicit aspect of the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework. As a result there is a collection of agile development strategies which enable effective DevOps throughout the agile delivery lifecycle. These strategies include:
There's more to it though than simply adopting some good practices. Your process must also embrace several supporting philosophies. The Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework not only adopts the practices listed above, and more, but it also promotes several philosophies which enable DevOps:
For more detail about this topic, I think that you will find the article I wrote for the December 2011 issue of Cutter IT Journal entitled "Disciplined Agile Delivery and Collaborative DevOps" to be of value. |
Agile Adoption Success FactorsIn November 2011 Paul Gorans, the Accelerated Solution Delivery (ASD) practice lead in IBM GBS, and I ran an agile adoption survey. The survey explored a range of issue, including the factors that appear to be associated with the success and failure of agile project teams. Paul wrote up his thoughts in his Agile State of the Art Survey article on ibm.com and I did the same for Dr Dobb's Journal in Agile Success Factors. This blog posting summarizes the results of the survey. Factors which appear to accelerate agile adoption include:
Factors which appear to decelerate agile adoption include:
The survey also explored whether organizations were succeeding at large team agile and geographically distributed agile teams (yes, they are).
Agile Reality over RhetoricThere is a fair bit of rhetoric surrounding agile methods, some of which we subscribe to and some of which we don't. We'd like to briefly examine the rhetoric which we've found to be the most misleading for people trying to be effective at adopting agile techniques. The following list is in the format X but Y, where X is the rhetoric and Y is the strategy promoted by the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework. This includes:
Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) Lifecycles
25 Comments
37,702 Visits
In previous blog postings I've defined Discipline Agile Delivery (DAD) but I haven't shared the lifecycle (although I have done so in a couple of white papers, most recently Scaling Agile: An Executive Guide) in this blog. Until now.
The DAD method combines strategies and practices from several software methods, including Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Agile Modeling, Agile Data, and the Open Unified Process (OpenUP). One aspect of this "process idea reuse" is that the DAD extends the Scrum lifecycle to be a full-fledged delivery lifecycle. Figure 1 overviews the Scrum lifecycle, which addresses the construction aspects of agile delivery quite well. It depicts the product backlog which is a basic prioritized requirements stack; the concept of delivering incrementally in consistent time boxes (what Scrum calls sprints and other methods such as DAD call iterations); holding a daily coordination meeting; and demoing your work at the end of the sprint/iteration/timebox to get feedback from key stakeholders. These are all great ideas, which is why the DAD method adopts and enhances them. Figure 1: The Scrum lifecycle. The focus is on the construction part of the lifecycle (click on the diagram for details). Several years ago I wrote about the Agile lifecycle and the need to extend it beyond construction, and this thinking is reflected in the DAD lifecycle of Figure 2. The DAD lifecycle extends the Scrum lifecycle in several important ways:
Figure 2. The Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) lifecycle (basic). The focus is on the delivery portion of the system lifecycle, from starting a project to releasing the solution into production (click on the diagram for details). Figure 3 depicts the advanced form of the DAD lifecycle. This form of the lifecycle occurs on experienced teams that have originally adopted the basic, Scrum-based lifecycle of Figure 2 and evolved it over time to be leaner. One of the implications of continuous improvement and continuous learning, key recommendations of the DAD process framework, is that your lifecycle will evolve. Primary changes that you see between Figure 2 and Figure 3 are the adoption of a work item pool instead of a work item stack and the abandonment of iterations (the critical observation is that practices such as detailed planning, demos, retrospectives and so on do not need to be on the same cadence, hence iterations disappear). Figure 3. The Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) lifecycle (advanced). Over time you will improve your strategy towards a leaner approach (click on the diagram for details). One of the differences that you may have noticed between the Scrum lifecycle of Figure 1 and the DAD lifecycle of Figure 2 is different terminology is used. For example, iteration is used instead of sprint. Work item list is used instead of product backlog. Although I believe that the terminology used in Figure 2 is more accurate, it really doesn't matter because it's easy to use Scrum terminology with DAD if you like. You can see this clearly in Figure 4. What is important is that you choose the terminology which you are most comfortable with, and be prepared to translate back and forth between terms as there are no standards and there never will be. As an aside, you might find Translating Scrum Terminology to be of interest. Figure 4. An older version of the basic DAD lifecycle using Scrum terminology. Use whatever terminology you're comfortable with, there is no "standard" (click on the diagram for details). DAD is still a process framework that you'll need to tailor to meet your unique needs. More on this in future blog postings. Also, you might find the Disciplined Agile Delivery website to be of interest.
A Practical Guide to Distributed Scrum
I'm happy to announce that A Practical Guide to Distributed Scrum by Elizabeth Woodward, Steffan Surdek, and Matthew Ganis is now in print. I've been talking this book up in presentations and with customers the past few months and promised that I would let everyone know once it was available. I was one of several people who wrote forewords for the book, Ken Schwaber, Roman Pichler, and Matthew Wang also did so, and I've modified my foreword below to help you to understand a bit better what the book is about.
If you're thinking about buying this book, you're probably trying to answer one or more of the following questions: "What will I learn?", "Should I spend my hard earned money on this book?", "Will it be worth my valuable time to read it?", and "Is this a book that I'll refer to again and again?" To help you answer these questions, I thought I'd list a few user stories which I believe this book clearly fulfills: As a reader I want:
As someone new to agile I want to:
As an experienced agile practitioner I want to learn:
As a Scrum Master I want to learn how to:
As a Product Owner I want to learn:
As an agile skeptic I want to:
I work with organizations around the world helping them to scale agile strategies to meet their real-world needs. Although this book is focused on providing strategies for dealing with geographical distribution, it also covers many of the issues that you'll run into with large teams, complex problem domains and complex technical domains. An important aspect of scaling agile techniques is to first recognize that's there's more to scalability than dealing with large teams, something which this book clearly demonstrates. At the risk of sounding a bit corny, I've eagerly awaited the publication of this book for some time. I've known two of the authors, Elizabeth and Matt, for several years and have had the pleasure of working with them and learning from them as a result. Along with hundreds of other IBMers I watched this book get written and provided input where I could. The reason why I'm so excited about it is that I've wanted something that I could refer the customers to that I work with and honestly say, "yes, we know that this works because this is what we do in practice". IBM is doing some very interesting work when it comes to scaling agile. We haven't published enough externally, in my opinion, due to a preference for actively sharing our experiences internally. This book collects many of our experiences into a coherent whole and more importantly shares them outside the IBM process ecosystem. Bottom line is that I think that you'll get a lot out of this book. Related Reading: |
