Defensive Operations
NFPA Journal®, March/April 2008
The choice to attack a fire offensively or defensively is critically important, as civilian and firefighter lives will often hang in the balance. When a chief officer arrives on the fire scene, an in-depth, real-time evaluation may require a change in strategy. However, the first-arriving company officer must make the initial offensive-defensive decision.
The burden of making this decision can be heavy, as it may mean sacrificing property and abandoning attempts to rescue trapped occupants. This decision, known as the "burden of command," is most difficult when people are suspected or known to be in the building.
Firefighters are expected to accept significant risk to save a life, but they are not expected to sacrifice their lives when there is no reasonable hope of saving trapped occupants. Nor should they be placed in imminent peril to save property.
Section 8.3.2 of the 2007 edition of NFPA 1500, Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program, states that the concept of risk management at an emergency scene shall be used on the basis of four principles:
"(1) Activities that present a significant risk to the safety of firefighters shall be limited to situations where there is a potential to save endangered lives.
(2) Activities that are routinely employed to protect property shall be recognized as inherent risks to the safety of firefighters, and actions shall be taken to reduce or avoid these risks.
(3) No risk to the safety of firefighters shall be acceptable when there is no possibility to save lives or property.
(4) In situations where the risk to fire department members is excessive, activities shall be limited to defensive operations."
To drive home these points, Louisville, Kentucky, firefighters were required to carry a "mission" card that read: As a Louisville Fire Fighter I am willing to accept considerable risk to save another person's life; I am willing to accept reasonable risk to save another person's property; I am willing to accept no risk to save what is already lost.
Offensive attacks are usually considered more hazardous than defensive attacks, but defensive attacks are not without risk. When the incident commander (IC) decides a defensive attack is necessary due to structural conditions, building collapse is often a major consideration.
When a fire seriously threatens the structural integrity of a building, firefighters should be moved outside the collapse zone. Any collapse zone that is closer than the building's height plus an allowance for debris scatter — usually one and a half times the building's height — is a calculated risk, and the IC must ask whether the expected benefit is worth the increased risk. If the IC decides to conduct operations in the collapse zone, the building's corners are usually safer than the sides.
If the collapse zone is wider than the effective reach of master streams, defensive attack options are further limited, and a non-attack strategy may be the only safe choice. If it is safe to place apparatus or personnel within the range of available master stream appliances, the IC can either operate fire streams directly into the burning building or use them to cover nearby exposures.
If the main body of fire can be "darkened down" with master streams, directing them into the building is generally the best option, as it reduces the threat to exposures and may reduce damage to the building of origin. However, determining the effectiveness of a direct attack on the building of origin is often impossible. When this is the case, the best fire stream position allows either a direct attack or exposure protection without moving the apparatus or master stream. If available fire streams cannot make a substantial impact on the fire, placing them directly onto nearby buildings is a better option.
Unlike the offensive attack where several firefighters are needed to advance a handheld line, the master stream-oriented defensive attack typically requires one firefi ghter to direct the stream and another to operate the pump. The officer should stand to the side of the master stream to direct it and supervise the operation.
In many cases, two fire companies are assigned to a single master stream, one to supply water and the other to supply the master stream appliance. This results in unassigned personnel at the scene. Unassigned firefighters can relieve firefighters so they can rotate through rehabilitation or be assigned to staging, making companies available for other responses or to augment the attack. Unassigned personnel must be managed to avoid freelancing.
Providing water at large defensive operations may prove more challenging than at most offensive attacks. Many master stream appliances can consume the total pumping capacity of an apparatus. Several operating appliances can exhaust the water system even in areas with reliable, adequate water supplies. To meet demands, supply lines should use large-diameter hose, and water may have to be relayed from more remote sources.
If the building does not collapse during the defensive attack, interior overhaul may be needed. Postdefensive interior overhaul can be extremely hazardous. The building may be structurally unsound, and the weight of water remaining in it could precipitate collapse. Consider positioning master stream appliances around the building for use if needed and establishing a fire watch while the building drains and a structural analysis is conducted. If the fire occurs at night, delaying overhaul until daylight will improve safety conditions. If the building suffers serious structural damage, firefighters must stay out of it, and it must be razed.
Although defensive attacks generally require more water and apparatus than offensive attacks, they require fewer personnel and reduce firefighters' risks. Defensive fires tend to be more spectacular, but they are easier to handle if the proper precautions are taken.
The IC must always be cognizant of the many factors that lead to a defensive decision. When a fire is so large that the building's structural support is threatened, a collapse zone should immediately be established. Firefighters should never be needlessly placed at risk.

| Backup Schedule I'm getting a new Laptop next week with Win 7 Home Premium 64 Bit (OEM) I've been reading up about Back up and Restore If I want to Backup a System Image or Data Files, can I do this as and when I want to or is setting a Schedule compulsory? The reason for my question is that I want to Backup onto an External HDD which will not be permanently plugged in, normally I just plug it in when I want to use it If Setting a Schedule is compulsory then I would have to remember when it was due and make sure the HDD was plugged in at the right time? Also, it's difficiult to Set a Schedule if the Laptop is turned off when not in use? I would like to do a Backup as and when I want to, is this possible? Thank you |

Sadie – Chapter 8 – Oak and Spanish Moss
True Story, Group Sex, Incest, Teen Male/Teen Females, Young
Author's infos
Gender: Male Age: Secret Location: N/A
Posted: 2013-08-08
This is chapter eight of the true stories of Sadie, (my wife) and David (me). How we met, discovered, schemed and molded our sexual lives, beginning in the nineteen sixties, the height of the sexual revolution. Characters and events in this chapter depend on references and descriptions from earlier chapters. So if you have not yet read the previous chapters, we hope you will consider going back and reading them first, starting with, Sadie 01 – Prelude and Awakening.
Sadie – Chapter 8 – Oak and Spanish Moss
Friday morning Beth took off with Jess and her sisters once again, so Jake, Marty and I hooked up the boat and ran it down to Fowl River for a day of water skiing. Marty nearly wore his arms out trying to get up on a slalom ski and finally gave up, retreating to the familiar two ski ride. For some reason I could never keep my feet together on two skis so slalom was my only choice and I enjoyed it immensely. We skied until we were almost too sore to stand and finally pulled the boat out of the river at nearly seven o'clock.
When we got home, diner was on the table and Aunt Lila was heating up as rapidly as the meal was cooling. "Where have you boys been!" she demanded. "I've had dinner on the table for almost an hour and you're nowhere to be seen. We finally ate without you so now you can just eat it cold." And she stormed out of the kitchen leaving us standing with our mouths open but nothing worthwhile to say.
It really wasn't so bad. Aunt Lila's fried chicken was just as good cold as it was hot, although the mashed potatoes and chicken gravy could have done with a little warming.
When we were just about done eating, Beth came around the corner and stopped short when she saw us there. "I didn't know you guys were back!" she said. "Stay out of Mom's way, she's none too happy about you missing dinner." She warned.
"We know." Jake said with a full mouth. "She was waiting to pounce when we got in."
"Well, come on up when you're done!" she said, now bubbling with some unexplained excitement and she skipped out the door and disappeared around the back of the garage.
We looked at each other, shrugged shoulders and finished eating. A whole day of water skiing can empty your stomach real good. When we finished, we headed out the door, only to be met by Uncle Jake coming up the steps. "Woa, there boys!" he warned holding up a hand palm out in front of us. "I believe y'all need to spend a little time in the kitchen cleanin' up after yourselves. Come on, turn around and don't even think about comin' out of there 'till the whole place is spotless."
We hung our heads and turned around. Marty and I started moving dishes to the sink and Little Jake started washing, then we pitched in to dry and stack. Aunt Lila called in from the living room, "Little Jake! Don't be puttin' soap in grandmas skillet, ya hear? You just wipe it out with hot water, I got it seasoned just right the way I like it!"
"Yes mam." Jake yelled back and quickly rinsed the soap out of the skillet. "How does she know that stuff?" he whispered at us.
"Don't know Jake, she your mom." I whispered back.
He elbowed me in the side and I dodged away knocking into Marty who dropped a dish, fumbled it, reached for it, dropped it again, stuck a foot out and let it slide to the floor with a loud clank, but unbroken. "David!" he yelled at me as he picked it up.
"And don't be breakin' my china in there!" yelled Aunt Lila.
"It was Jake!" I shifted the blame.
Jake punched my arm and we all got suddenly serious about finishing up.
As soon as the last dish was put away and the counters whipped down we were out the back door and sprinting for the old oak tree. We ducked under the Spanish Moss and Marty got to the rope ladder first followed by Jake who rammed the top of his head into Marty's rear end who had stopped as soon as he put his head up through the open hatch. "Move it Marty! You're holdin' up traffic!" he complained pushing up at him.
"Damn." Marty said under his breath then climbed up into the tree house.
Jake climbed up after him, "Damn is right." He said softly.
When I pulled myself up through the hatch the two of them were crouched on either side, staring open mouthed at Beth who sat on a stack of blankets, leaning back against the far wall, naked with her knees spread apart, groaning and massaging a breast while pushing two fingers up inside herself as far as she could. "You took long enough, I had to start without you." She said and tensed as a small orgasm took over and shook her body.
"Damn." I said softly. "What brought that on?"
"Mmmmm." She said relaxing. "Jess took us to the clinic today. Nobody is pregnant."
We all visibly relaxed.
"Everybody has pills now and another box of these." She said pulling another box of condoms from beneath the blankets. She opened it and pulled three packets out and tossed them at us. "Better put these on." She said. "Last on in is a rotten egg!" and she slid down onto her back and opened her legs in an obvious invitation.
Because I didn't rush and fumble with the package, I was the first to be properly dressed for the party and I leaned over and started to kiss her knee, thigh mound and clit. She shuddered when I got to the last, then I worked my way up her stomach, first to her left breast, then the right, and finally up her neck and then kissed her fully as I gently slid into her well lubricated, ready opening.
She raised her hips to meet me and rocked them gently in rhythm with my thrusts. It didn't take me long so succumb and soon I was filling the reservoir tip with several squirts and grunting ecstatically with each jerking motion.
As soon as I pulled out, Marty crawled up between her legs and wasted no time lining himself up and pushing in as far as he could go. He knelt there thrusting rapidly and since Jake had yet to open his little foil pack because he was too stricken, just watching the scene before him, Beth reached over, grabbed his hard shaft, stroked it a few times then pulled it over to her face and engulfed it in her mouth while Marty continued to pound away like a jack rabbit.
When Marty came with several low grunts and spasms, Beth pushed Jake over on his back, lay down on top of him, lifting one leg over his face and rocked her hips wantonly while she descended upon his hard shaft and took it almost all the way to the base in her mouth. Jake lifted his head and began to lick and suck on her clit and when he came hard in her mouth, he sucked harder on her clit and the totality of it caused her to explode in a bone shaking muscle clenching jerking orgasm that flooded her brother with fragrant sexual juices mixed with the scent of latex.
"Damn." She said softly. "That was so fucking hot!"
"Watch your mouth little sis!" Jake scolded her. As Marty's eyes flew open wide. I just smiled.
"You're not Mamma." She said "You can't tell me what to say."
"No. but I can tell Mamma what you said!" he countered.
"Go ahead, tell her I used dirty words while you were fucking your little sister." She said coyly. "Besides, it's a neat word. I like the way it sounds, all dirty… fuck, fuck, fuck." She rolled it off her tongue. Then she squinted up her eyes, hunched her shoulders and smiled; "I love to fuck!" she giggled.
"Beth!" Jake scolded again but she stuck her tongue out at him and pressed her hand over her mound, squeezing hard.
"It is kind of hot." I agreed and she smiled at me.
Jake gave me an evil eye look. "Well, as long as you don't talk that way anywhere else." He conceded.
We relaxed, and sat back, naked, and talked for a couple of hours as it got dark around us, our little fan oscillating back and forth over our sweat covered skin. We left the lamp off since we really didn't need to see anything and we didn't want it to add to the southern heat and humidity.
Around eleven o'clock Aunt Lila came around the house and called out to us, "Children! About time to come in for bed!"
"Can we sleep out here tonight Mamma?" called Beth "It's so much cooler than in the house!"
"Sure sweetie." Aunt Lila called back. "Keep those skeeters off! G'night!"
We hadn't spent the night out there before. The next morning after breakfast we nailed some old screen up over the windows. As I was holding up a piece of it over the window facing the house, I looked down on the yard and nearly caught my breath. Sadie was standing on the lawn, tan legs crossed over each other, hands clasped behind her back looking up into the branches of the old oak with her dark hair flowing gently in the morning breeze wearing a pink sun dress that hid nothing of her body beneath it as the morning sun shone through the light fabric from behind. We had been apart only a week but now it seemed like years and I dropped the screen and nearly jumped through the hatch to the ground skipping rungs on the ladder and almost tangling myself in the rope. I ran, then walked fast then stopped right in front of her and could only stare as she smiled at me. Then we embraced each other and I lifted her up and spun her around in my arms.
It was as if we were being reunited after a prolonged absence, happy, sunny and joyous! The rest of the girls swarmed, giggling, out from hiding behind the garage while Jake and Marty climbed out of the tree and we all hugged and laughed and kissed each other happily. Jen and her sisters had come down and brought Sadie and Kat with them. Beth was in on it and hadn't said anything to us guys and she kept us up in the tree just so the girls could arrive without us seeing them.
It was only a week but it was a happy reunion. We all went in the house and sat around in the living room talking while Aunt Lila and Uncle Jake kept out of the way. I could see them putting their heads together and smiling at us and when I caught a drift of them talking about how all the cousins had learned to get along so nicely I smiled and thought to myself,
"You have no idea how nicely we're getting along."
I was sitting on the sofa with Sadie tucked under my arm with her head on my shoulder. I could feel the smooth warmth of her skin beneath the fabric of her dress and the heat of it along my entire side.
Jules and Kat were sitting on either side of Marty on the opposite sofa with their backs to Uncle Jake and Aunt Lila. Amid the laughter and talk Kat and Jules at some signal I seemed to miss, parted their legs slightly and pressed their hands down into their laps and pulled the material of their dresses up giving me and Sadie an unobstructed understanding that neither was wearing underwear. The moment my eyes opened in surprise they both smoothed the material back down and closed their legs as if nothing had happened.
Sadie gave my hand a squeeze and said "Let's go see your tree house Beth!"
"Yes, let's!" squealed Jules and Kat at the same time as they jumped up and headed for the door.
We all went outside and Marty led Jules and Kat out first. Sadie and I followed, ahead of the rest of the group and I hugged her tight to me with one arm and looked down into her deep dark eyes that were lit with delight. It nearly melted my heart.
Kat and Jules went up first, with Marty behind, who after looking up at the girls climbing, looked back at me and mouthed "wow", then back up as Jules disappeared inside.
Sadie reached up and stepped onto the ladder in front of me and when I followed her up I discovered that there was an apparent epidemic of missing panties in this group. She stopped, let the breeze lift her skirt slightly to the side, looked back at me over her shoulder and pulled herself up into the space.
Standing on the ground beneath the ladder, Jake got a good view as well and reached up and gave my calf a punch and grinned.
When we were all up inside, we closed and latched the trap door and spread the blankets over it because with all of us it was pretty crowded and we needed the floor space. Sadie immediately leaned over, pulled me towards her and kissed me deeply, and long. It felt like we'd been apart for months, not just a week, like a big homecoming.
I reached across and pulled her up onto my lap and we wrapped our arms around each other, just enjoying the passion of the kiss. Jules and Kat scooted close to us on either side and Jules began to run her hand lightly along Sadie's bare legs while Kat did the same to mine and after a minute, I slid my own hand up the inside of her smooth knee, along her thigh and all the way up until I felt the moist warmth of soft hair. She gasped in my mouth and shuddered as I slipped easily inside a very wet warm place with two fingers while I swirled my thumb over the nub of her clit until she clenched up in a little shuddering surprise orgasm. "Mmmmmm.. " she moaned softly and continued kissing.
When she did, Kat slipped her dress off over her head and Jules followed suit. They both squeezed up close to Marty and began to work on the button of his shorts. Sadie pulled my shirt off over my head, then her dress and pushed me over on my back and straddled my waist grinding herself into my very ready hardness through my shorts.
Beth and Jen Started stroking Jake seductively and Jess sat back against a wall, with her dress hiked up around her waist working furiously at herself with both hands.
Jules and Kat had Marty stripped naked and were alternately sucking and licking him to his great delight.
Jake had pulled his own shorts and shirt off and was kneeling with his head between Jen's legs, her red hair glistening with moisture and Jen was grinning from ear to ear with her head thrown back and her eyes closed while Jess watched, stroking herself wantonly.
Sadie slid down my body, rubbing her breasts against my chest and stomach and deftly unbuttoned my shorts, zipped them open and pulled them over my knees and off while I lifted my hips to accommodate her. She slid back up, this time rubbing her breasts across my waiting hardness, back up my stomach and high enough up that I could take one nipple in my mouth and suck it for just a moment before she lowered herself again, neatly lifting me with her very ready opening and sliding all the way back down engulfing my full length completely in one slippery, warm motion.
Without saying anything, the young girls took to a routine of sucking and kissing bare skin, and then seductively rolled condoms on the guys before taking them inside. Since none of us except Jess had ever used a condom, I think it was kind of a turn on, anything sexually new having that effect.
Those who were already on the pill continued to ride bareback for the most part but now and then the girls rolled on a condom just for the novelty of it. We spent the whole morning in a writhing naked heap of arms limbs and bodies until Aunt Lila called us all in to lunch.
When we realized that we were all soaked with sweat, cum and girl juices we hurriedly wiped ourselves down with the blankets and made a note to bring up some towels and a jug of water later on. The girls all went inside, straight to the bathroom to "wash up" for lunch and the guys turned on a hose to drink from and quickly degraded into some intentionally accidental horse play that caused Aunt Lila some consternation, but got the smell of sweat and sex off of us and an admonition to go clean up and get on some dry clothes, which, of course, was our intent!
Lunch was a happy affair, everyone sitting around the kitchen table making sandwiches from cold cuts and cheese laid out by Aunt Lila, joking and laughing and really, being the very best of friends! Aunt Lila smiled and laughed with us and opened bottles of Coca Cola Uncle Jake had set in a wash tub full of ice along with a watermelon that was cracked open and scooped out with spoons around the table for desert. I do so love Southern meals!
After lunch we went out to the screened porch and played Monopoly for several hours and when first Sadie and then I landed on Boardwalk, owned by Marty with two hotels, we got up and wandered out to the tree house and climbed up together, leaving the others behind.
Sadie slipped her sun dress over her head and immediately began sensually un-buttoning and unzipping my shorts. She pulled my shirt off and bent down to take me in her mouth as she slowly and ever so sexily licked and sucked me almost to the point of no return. Then she lay back on the blankets, pulling me towards her, parting her legs and guided my head between them as her back arched in anticipation and she shuddered and gasped when I lightly kissed her there.
She was trembling and jerking with two of my fingers up inside, working her G-spot and my tongue sliding around her clit sensually when the trap door opened and Jess' head popped through the opening. I paused for a moment to look over my shoulder, and Sadie raised her head as well, then we both went back to our business as Jess climbed up inside and latched the door behind her.
"Aunt Lila told me I should come up here and be a chaperone. Just to make sure you weren't getting into any kind of trouble." She smiled as she pulled her dress off over her head and reached under me to stroke me softly and kiss along my back.
I shuddered at her touch and grunted, "And what will you tell her Jess?"
"That I didn't let you do anything I wouldn't do." She purred and leaned her head beneath me, taking me in her mouth effectively ending the conversation.
Sadie said not a word during all of this and finally arched her back, stifling a scream with one hand over her mouth ash she gripped my hair with the other hand and shuddered violently several times before pulling me up to her face and kissing me deeply, shaking and jerking as she did. I slid inside her easily and began a smooth easy rhythm, all the way out, then as deep as I could go, then back out and she ground her hips in time and wouldn't let my mouth away for a second as she licked her juices from my lips and explored my tongue desperately.
It was pure animal passion, arms entwined, one hand alternately clenching at a breast, then down to rub herself while the other hand pulled at my hair pinning me to her face as her body writhed and twisted beneath me.
All the while, Jess was paying attention to both of us as she slid her hands and tongue over as much as she could reach, all over our tender places. When she could feel that we were both reaching the apex of total stimulation, she deftly slid one finger from each hand inside of our tender rear entrances, deep to the third knuckle and both of us exploded in the most intense orgasms we had ever experienced. Despite a whole morning of multiple partners and multiple ejaculations, I seemed to go on and on forever as Sadie squeezed me hard both with her arms around me and her inner muscles.
When both of us finally started to relax and subside, we collapsed next to each other in a heap of sweaty satisfaction while Jess looked on with a self-satisfied smile of accomplishment. Jess laid down on my other side and hooked one leg over me and whispered, "When you get your strength back, I need a turn too!"
I could only moan softly and pulled her tighter so that her breast pressed up against me and the hot, slick sweaty skin pressing in on both sides of me was immensely satisfying. We had all drifted off to sleep and I was having a strange dream about driving fast on a dirt road with huge rocks that kept slamming into the bottom of the car, "Bang, bang, bang!" and I could feel the car jerk with each hit. I was thinking I had better slow down before I ruined the car but as I drifted awake the rocks kept banging on the car until I finally came out of the smokiness of sleep and realized someone was banging on the hatch door from below. "David! Sadie! Open up!" Jen was calling and she banged on the hatch again, rattling the latch and shaking the floor.
I mumbled something unintelligible and leaned over to slide the latch open. The hatch sprang up and Jen was hanging on the rope ladder, looking up beneath her flaming red hair with her deep green eyes like I had killed her favorite cat.
I backed away almost in fear, but when she climbed up into the tree house her dazzling smile replaced her scowl and she simply said "Finally!" as she pulled her dress off over her head and snuggled up between Sadie and Jess in the space I had just vacated. Jess and Sadie mumbled and smiled incoherently and closed in against Jen, gently writing their bodies together and a most sensuous display. Jen said, "Landed on Marty's damn Boardwalk. They're still going at it down there. Marty and Jake are kind of tied for the most money, but I think maybe you're the winner." And she smiled as she looked left and right at her naked sister and best friend.
I couldn't argue that and when I lay down next to Sadie on the other side, Jen got up and straddled my waist and started rubbing her moist warmth along my already hardening shaft. She did it in exactly the same way she had the first time last year in my bedroom. Feeling, exploring and watching the entire experience as if trying to discover something she hadn't known before. I was quickly as hard as I could be and she watched as my head appeared and disappeared beneath her as she slid back and forth.
"Hey little sister, I was next in line for that!" Jess complained as she came out of her sleep and realized that Jen had taken cuts.
Jen looked at me and I gave a little shrug and said "She did call it before."
"Well, you snooze, you lose sis." Then she lifted me up and plunged down engulfing me in one swift motion and began to bounce up and down energetically.
All I could do is look over at Jess, a look of disappointment, bordering on anger was clear on her face as Jen gyrated her hips in circular motions, then returned to pumping up and down, now pressing down on my chest with both hands with her head thrown back and her mouth open, gasping great gulps of air and not caring at all what Jess thought about it.
Thankfully, just about that time, the hatch popped open and Little Jake stuck his head up inside. Jess looked at him climbing up inside, looked over at me, then Jen, then grabbed Jake by the shirt, dragged him all the way inside, and practically tore his pants off. She sucked his instant hard-on into her mouth, pushed him onto his back on the other side of Sadie and when satisfied that he could perform, climbed up over him and instantly impaled herself on him as far down as she could go. She sat there for a few moments apparently working her inner muscles because while there was no perceptible motion, Jake's face was twitching and grimacing in obvious pleasure while he made little gasps of breath and grunting sounds from his chest.
Finally she began slowly to raise and lower herself gradually picking up speed. She looked over at Jen now beginning to tremble and clench her muscles and said "Race you sis!"
Jen looked back and said between grunts "Too – unh – late – umph – sis!" and she seized violently into massive spasms and contractions, degrading into "Uhh, uhh, uhh!" as she pressed on my chest with one hand while fingering herself hard with the other.
Jake said "Wow!" with wide eyes and Jess grasped his chin with one hand and snapped his face back up to hers. "Look at ME!" she demanded and his eyes got even wider as he nodded his head several times with a "YES MAM!" look in his face. Jake was so stunned by this reception that it only took him a few moments to come and he squirted several times and began to soften inside a disappointed Jess.
Jen had abandoned her post and seeing this, Jess lost no time climbing off Jake, over Sadie and resuming her activity on my unsatisfied self. She was frantic, as if her life depended on it, even though she had come several times already this morning. She was bouncing up and down on my hips almost to the point of pain on my pelvic bones.
The hatch opened once again and the rest of the friends and cousins clambered in. It was strangely but comfortably natural. Two naked guys, three naked girls, two of us having intense animal sex and nobody even blinked in surprise or dismay. They simply climbed in and began calmly undressing in turn without a second thought.
I have a very sensual, beautiful naked girl, using my body for intense sexual pleasure (and giving it as well) and I'm lying there pondering on how calmly natural all these naked people are. Strange what your mind does at the weirdest moments.
Surveying the scene, Marty sidled up on his knees and pressed himself against Jess' rear end. Jess looked over her shoulder, and raised her hips to him all the while still grinding on me while the change in angle increased the pressure on my sensitive parts immediately.
Marty lined himself up, sliding up and down the proffered crack, spreading the already prodigious amount of moisture over himself and Jess, then at the right moment, shoved himself deep inside her rear entrance and moaned aloud. Jess stopped moving for a moment, then began rocking her hips back and forth feeling the two of us as deep as we could be, separated only by that thin membrane that let me easily feel my brother sliding in and out, adding to the sensation on my now very ready organ. I couldn't hold back any longer and tensed up, spewing several hard spurts inside my older cousin.
The erotic nature of the moment kept me hard enough to last a few minutes more but I finally succumbed and grew soft and plopped out while Marty kept pounding Jess from behind. When I did, his motions and the angle caused all of my fluids combined with Jess' to spill out on my stomach and feeling this, Jess looked down between us and the sight of it was enough to set her off in a heaving satisfying orgasm after which she collapsed on my chest and Marty popped out from behind her. and when he turned to look around him, Kat was there with an unwrapped condom and immediately rolled it on him, then turned her back on him, knelt and put both hands behind her, spreading her cheeks and smiled back at him. He scooted over on his knees and entered her from behind, and was instantly lost in a different place.
Little Jake was out cold, I was limp and worn out, Marty was going at Kat like a jackrabbit and Jules and Beth just sat and looked at each other. "We need more boys." Jules said "I miss the Aussies. We're all out of balance here." And Beth nodded her assent, but without another word, they leaned towards each other and embraced in a wet all tongues kiss and began to explore each other's bodies as their breathing became rapid and their hunger increased.
For the rest of the summer we did typical summer things, swimming, sailing, water skiing, fishing, shrimping, crabbing and all else there is in a summer paradise. We had to spend time with our younger siblings too, but every free moment we got, we spent up in the tree house, doing the things our parents knew we would never do with all the cousins and siblings around.
I'm convinced that as much as parents know about their children, they never suspected that the cousins were deeply involved with each other sexually. They spoke many times to each other about how we all got along so well from that summer on. They were sure it was simply a matter of growing up and realizing the great bond between relatives.
We never got more boys. At least not while we were still in Alabama. Later we learned that Kat and Jules had started up with two boys from their school and met them whenever they could at remote locations. Well, as remote as walking and bicycles could take them. Apparently they kept them quiet (and happy) by swearing them to silence and the fear that if anyone
found out about them they would tell their fathers that the boys had raped them and they would
have sex with them again. For young teen boys, the prospect of never again having what you suddenly found out you craved so badly was enough. I'm told that nobody ever knew what they were doing.
At any rate, I had to be back in California to start college at U. C. Berkley in the fall and I had a lot of packing and moving to do. We'd already planted the seed that perhaps Jules, Jen and their best friend Sadie might come to California next summer. We also started talking about having Sadie apply to Berkley. But that was still a couple of years off.
I was really looking forward to getting away from home and off on my own and exploring future possibilities. Little did I know what Berkley was really going to be like in the seventies!

Miller is also fond of memoirs, a genre that in recent years has been maligned as self indulgent and often untruthful. But Miller thinks a good memoir can be a great read. Emma Brockes' is about her search for the truth about her mother's difficult childhood. Though Brockes had an idyllic childhood growing up in England, she gradually comes to understand that her mother's upbringing in Australia was quite the opposite. Miller says Brockes' mom emerges as a heroic figure who was an "amazing,

text: Cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis)Cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is a focal dystonia characterized by neck muscles contracting involuntarily, causing abnormal movements and awkward posture of the head and neck. The movements may be sustained (�tonic�), jerky (�clonic�), or a combination. Spasms in the muscles or pinched nerves in the neck can result in considerable pain and discomfort. Cervical dystonia may be primary or secondary.Terms used to describe cervical dystonia include: spasmodic torticollis, torticollis, adult onset focal dystonia. Specific words may be used to describe the position of the neck: laterocollis (head tilts to side); retrocollis (head tilts back), anterocollis (head tilts forward). Symptoms In cervical dystonia, the neck muscles contract involuntarily. If the contractions are sustained, they may cause abnormal posture of the head and neck. If the spasms are periodic or patterned, they may produce jerky head movements. The severity of cervical dystonia varies from mild to severe. Movements are often partially relieved by a �sensory trick� (also known as geste antagoniste) such as gently touching the chin, other areas of the face, or back of the head. Cervical dystonia may begin in the neck and spread into the shoulders, but the symptoms usually plateau and remain stable within five years of onset. This form of focal dystonia is unlikely to spread beyond the neck and shoulders or become generalized dystonia. Occasionally, people with cervical dystonia develop other focal dystonias. Cause Cervical dystonia may be primary (meaning that it is the only apparent neurological disorder, with or without a family history) or be brought about by secondary causes such as physical trauma. Cases of inherited cervical dystonia may occur in conjunction with early-onset generalized dystonia, which is associated with the DYT1 gene. Diagnosis Diagnosis of cervical dystonia is based on information from the affected individual and the physical and neurological examination. At this time, there is no test to confirm diagnosis of cervical dystonia, and in most cases assorted laboratory tests are normal. Cervical dystonia should not be confused with other conditions which cause a twisted neck such as local orthopedic or congenital problems of the neck, or ophthalmologic conditions where the head tilts to compensate for impaired vision. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as stiff neck, arthritis, or wryneck. Treatment One of the most effective treatments for cervical dystonia is regular botulinum toxin injections to the affected muscles. A multitude of oral medications have demonstrated some benefit. The categories of drugs reported to help relieve the symptoms associated with cervical dystonia include anticholinergic drugs such as Artane �(trihexyphenidyl) and Cogentin� (benztropine); dopaninergic drugs such as Sinemet� or Madopar� (levodopa), Parlodel� (bromocriptine), and Symmetrel� (amantadine); and GABAergic drugs such as Valium� (diazepam). Selective denervation surgery is an option for some cervical dystonia patients, and deep brain stimulation surgery is beginning to be explored for cervical dystonia as well. Gentle physical therapy with a physical therapist who specializes in neurological disorders may improve range of motion and help reduce pain. Complementary therapies should be explored and regular relaxation practices may significantly benefit discomfort and pain. |

Gwinnett Daily Post
NEW YORK - Evgeni Malkin is already picking up the scoring slack created by Sidney Crosby's absence. Now he'll cover for his Pittsburgh Penguins teammate in the NHL All-Star game, too.
Malkin was one of five players chosen Tuesday as All-Star replacements for this weekend's festivities in Atlanta. The announcement came hours after the Penguins said Crosby - the league's reigning MVP and scoring champion - will be out six-to-eight weeks with a high ankle sprain. In 48 games, Malkin has a team-high 26 goals, and 56 points. He had two goals and an assist in Pittsburgh's 6-5 shootout loss to Washington on Monday night. The Penguins are 0-1-1 since Crosby was injured last Friday. Joining Malkin on the Eastern Conference squad is Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, a surprise replacement for starter Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils. Brodeur made 34 saves in Sunday's win over Toronto. Brodeur's withdrawal means neither goalie voted into the starting lineup will play. Western Conference starter Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks pulled out of the game to be with his pregnant wife in Florida. Defenseman Scott Niedermayer and forward Corey Perry from the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks were also selected to the West team, joining teammates Chris Pronger and Ryan Getzlaf. The Ducks have a league-high four players in the game. The Detroit Red Wings are down to three players on the team after starting forward Henrik Zetterberg withdrew, along with Colorado Avalanche forward Paul Stastny and Dallas Stars defenseman Sergei Zubov. Stars forward Mike Ribeiro was also selected as a replacement. Niedermayer, the 34-year-old MVP of last season's playoffs, has played only 17 games since rejoining the Ducks in December after contemplating retirement. The five-time All-Star has two goals and nine assists. Zubov is out with a foot injury, and Stastny is sidelined after having his appendix removed last week.More like this story

"It rained at Woodstock, and it might rain at KidStock too," one of the event's announcers said from the stage just before headliners Milkshake took the stage yesterday afternoon.
But the fleeting showers didn't dampen the spirits of the dancing toddlers at Garrett Heights Elementary-Middle School in Hamilton-Lauraville yesterday, nor those of Milkshake frontwoman Lisa Mathews or the band, who gamely played their high energy hits for about an hour.
Besides Milkshake, we got a chance to see guitarist Tracey Eldridge with violinist John Glik, and the Little Maestros Band from Bethesda. We were in a drum circle tent, playing West African djembes and dunduns when the heavy rain hit. We just pounded our drums a little harder and waited it out. Our forebears at Woodstock would have been proud.

Two college girls, and one bedroom
I have always been misunderstood, and because of this I was always lonely. My boyfriend always wondered how he got so lucky, that I was beautiful and smart- the perfect woman. The truth to it all was that I wasn't happy; nothing could satisfy what I wanted. Things were too easy, too boring, too cold, too indirect, too dramatic or too cliché. I applied for college and was accepted in fall, it...Read On

What are two neglected girlfriends to do with their evening?
Xanadu by Nicole Larson GameStop closed at eight, and by the time Miles closed the store down and locked up it was eight thirty. By eight forty, he had been home, changed his clothes, and picked me up at my apartment. He drove as fast as caution would allow—heedless of the speed limit, and the thankfully oblivious cop that had been sitting at the light on Doyle street. By eight fifty, we...Read On

That Saturday I slept and slept. I was exhausted from all the nervous energy I felt taking my first steps into the world of slutdom. I'd also been cumming quite a bit in the evenings as I thought about the effect I was probably having on the guys' home lives. When I finally got up and showered, I headed out to do my 'homework'. I grabbed my keys and headed to the shop that Steve had...Read On

Do You Ever Feel Like Your Life is Unraveling?
February 7, 2011
© Sarah Preston Gorenstein
We've had one of those weeks around here, and I'm not just talking about one of the worst blizzards Chicago has ever seen -- I'm sure you've been hearing about Snowpocalypse 2011? Before I get started with our sob story, you've got to see this video a friend of mine shot and edited, it's been all over the local news stations in Chicago. He caught one of his neighbors stealing his snow shovel, with surveillance cameras, and then you see how he retaliates. It's priceless. You never know who you're messing with, and this neighbor happened to mess with the owner of Tunnel Vision Technology -- they're in the business of installing high-end technology and surveillance cameras in businesses and homes, hotel lobbies, condo buildings, etc. (My friend David Welles is the owner, and also the guy Bill Rancic hired to put video cameras in his new Hinsdale, Illinois house, you may have seen the episodes on "Giuliana and Bill.") Check out the video he made for a good laugh -- apparently blizzards bring out the worst in people.
Living in a big city with a little kid during a snowstorm isn't exactly what you'd call "convenient." But that's not even the worst of it...
Monday my husband called me from his new restaurant to tell me that he "did something" to his back. I figured he pulled a muscle or something -- after all, he is in the restaurant biz, he's always bending and lifting something -- but this was more than just "doing something." He was and still is barely able to walk, bend, lift, move, get out of bed, or put on his socks. So Tuesday, which was Preston's first day of school (he did great at daycare by the way), I insisted we take Jay to a doctor to see what was going on. But because the snowstorm was coming, all the doctors in the practice I go to for my own back problems had canceled their appointments. The city of Chicago was literally sent into a tizzy over the looming storm. (In our defense, we prepare for, and recover from, snowstorms quite well, thanks to Mayor Daley.)
So I took Jay to the ER on Tuesday, at a hospital near our house, and spent hours there, where they did nothing more than pump him up with drugs to dull the pain he was experiencing. We figured a few good painkillers, some muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories, and we'll be good to go. I had to leave him there, right as the storm was starting, to pick Preston up from daycare since they were closing early in preparation for the blizzard. What should've taken me five minutes, took about 30 to get there...and by the time I got him back in the car, we were in full blizzard mode here, and I had to go back to the hospital to pick Jay up. You've never seen traffic and mayhem like this, and we were literally five minutes away...it was almost an hour before we actually got home.
And home is where we stayed for days, with a husband whose back is totally out, a toddler with cabin fever and a hint of a cough, a dog who was sick with a bad tummy, and a very worried mom (a.k.a. me). Wednesday we told the nanny to stay home -- everything in the city was basically shut down, as was my office (first time in the near decade I've worked for Playboy) -- and Thursday daycare was closed, too, as were all Chicago Public Schools.
All the while Jay's back is still totally shot. I'm usually the one with the back problems -- I've mentioned before that I had back surgery four or so years ago, and had a flare-up a few months ago, which I've been in physical therapy for the last few months. The point is, I know back pain all too well; and still, I wish it was me this time, because seeing my husband in this kind of pain is worse than being the one who's suffering.
Friday I finally got him in to see an orthopedic doctor and we had x-rays taken, an MRI, got more scripts for the pain, and now it's a waiting game. Over the weekend my parents invited us over to spend the day with them, so they could help out with Preston, while Jay tried to relax. Thank god for family when you're in crisis mode, right? I have the best parents in the world, they are always there for us -- when we need them, and even when we don't. It made it so much easier to have more hands on deck on Saturday -- we considered staying the weekend, and I'm wishing we had.
It's Monday now, and Jay's still in tremendous pain -- we just got the results of the MRI back, and they showed that he has a shallow disc protrusion and it's sitting on a nerve, which explains the pain he's in. This was exactly the problem I had that led me to surgery four years ago... Regardless of the outcome of his problem, I know this isn't going to be an easy road. We're supposed to leave for Miami on Wednesday for a much-needed family vacation that we're taking with good friends of ours and their toddler who's around the same age as Preston. But now I'm not sure if we should go. I'm nervous to travel with Jay feeling like this...but on the other hand, maybe he'll be less miserable being in a warm climate?
To make matters more inconvenient, our nanny took her own vacation this week, to coincide with ours. So she's out of the country till next Monday, and we don't have alternative childcare for the days that Preston isn't in daycare (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). So today, Jay had planned to be home with Preston, but since he's limited in what he can do, I had to stay home from work too, to make sure everyone is taken care of, with help from our dear cousin Elana who came over to play with Preston so I could make some doctor appointments, take him back to the hospital if needed, and try to get some work done (like I said, we have the best family around).
Time is ticking on our decision. To go to Miami, or not to go?
It's been a trying week for both of us, but I'm doing everything I can to make sure Preston doesn't feel any upheaval. I gotta be honest, though: Upheaval really isn't my specialty. I have a lot of balls in the air, and when one drops, they all start to fall. I'm trying to stay positive about this, and not let my worries get the best of me. But in times like these, how do you find a way to cope? When things start to unravel, what do you do to keep some semblance of normalcy for the sake of your sanity and your kids?
With everything I just said, would you still go away on a family vacation? We have this great relaxing trip planned with our good friends; I've been looking forward to it for months. Are we crazy to go, or crazy to cancel and stay here? The weather is cold and snowy, our nanny is gone all week so I'll have to take vacation time from work to be home anyway, so I might as well do it in Miami, right? I'm actually the one leaning toward not going, but Jay says he's up for it. I need to decide today.
You know what they say: When it rains, it pours. Well, in our case, it storms.

Illustration: Guy Billout Tricia was depressed. That was her only problem. Although her life had all the right ingredients—successful husband, decent job, close-knit family—Tricia felt so low that she sometimes threatened suicide. When her therapist invited her husband, parents, and sister for a family session, a discussion of Tricia's "spells" devolved into a verbal brawl. Her parents, who'd been drinking, bickered about their mutual infidelity. Her sister wept like a fire hydrant. Tricia's husband shouted that they were ruining his life. In short, Tricia's depression was not her only problem. Instead, it was what I call her designated issue.
Tricia herself would be recognized by systems therapists as a "designated patient," the one person in a family or group who's singled out as sick or abnormal, allowing everyone else to feel healthy by comparison. A designated patient "carries" the group's dysfunction. A designated issue performs the same service for an individual, dominating our psyches so that other troubles can go unnoticed. You probably have a designated issue. Almost all my clients do. (And I myself have had several.) Annabeth obsesses endlessly about her weight (once upon a time, I did, too). Libbie pines for a soul mate (been there, done that). Loving mother Kristen worries constantly about her children's safety (I'm three for three). As a designated-issue connoisseur, I know what these ladies think: If they could only fix this problem, life would be a bowl of pitted Maraschino cherries. But their problems stubbornly resist fixing. Why? Because designated issues aren't just problems; they're also solutions. Like toxic-waste receptacles, they serve the useful function of containing some nasty, scary material. Your so-called worst problem may be sparing you even greater distress. You can thank it for that. And then you can get rid of it—though not quite in the way you might expect. Life, as psychologist William James famously said, is "one great blooming, buzzing confusion." We stumble through it, suffering many woes and imagining infinite others, with all the confident self-assurance of squirrels trying to teach dog obedience classes. To calm ourselves, we may pickle our fears in alcohol, scorch them with nicotine, haul them to yoga, therapy, and church. Focusing on one mildly disturbing, semi-controllable issue allows the mind to stuff much greater terrors in relatively tidy packages. Yes, Earth's climate is changing, bird flu seems imminent, wars and genocides rage—and wouldn't you rather think about your cholesterol level? Me, too. This is the real reason Tricia developed the moody blues. Her depression let everyone in her family worry just enough to avoid facing 50-some years of truly spectacular dysfunction. When Tricia's therapist threw a wrench into this system, his designated patient's designated issue coughed up secrets everyone had been hiding. Here are some more true stories: "I'm sick of thinking about my weight," moaned chubby Annabeth. "Okay," I replied, "let's talk about your marriage." "Sure. Just a second," said Annabeth. She yanked a king-size candy bar from her purse and attacked it like a starving lumberjack—something she did whenever the topic of marriage arose. Like Annabeth's weight problems, Libbie's quest for the perfect relationship was a 24/7 occupation. I thought it might be useful to discuss her avocation of selling marijuana, but getting her off the topic of romance was like taking beefsteak from a pit bull. If she'd been any less stoned, I might've lost a finger. Kristen's crisis hit when she bounced a check to the private investigator she'd hired to make sure her grown children were living safely while at college. The kids were fine, but Kristen's finances were in shambles—a problem she'd pushed aside to focus on protecting her young. From the October 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Scum bags never left any note i guess.
I once saw a guy hit a car in a car part , i watched what he would do , he first changed parking space and then carried on his way.
So i wrote 2 notes , one for the car he hit and one for damaged car telling him i watched what he did and reported him to the driver and police.
Police station just around the corner. So i took his details left a note on his car and the other car he hit.
I then went and gave his details at the police station and a quick statement.
The owner of the Damaged car called me the following day thanking me . I would have loved to see the scum bags face when he read my note.
back to your car , damage to the front wing i would say may need a new one and like above i would say body shop job. good luck. Ask at the shop if they have CCTV cameras might be lucky.

Are you unable to put it through your insurance?
Posted 06 August 2012 - 01:54 PM
You would be better paying out for the new parts, but call into tesco and write a letter as well requesting there CCTV camera locations and ask if there are any pointing at that particular area, although you may not get to see the tapes first hand, you can report it to the police as leaving the scene of an accident and they could review the footage. Might not get far, but its always worth asking.
Posted 06 August 2012 - 03:36 PM
Under freedom of information act you can request images stored on CCTV but data protection laws would dictate that you could only receive or view images/video if the scheme producing the footage has the means to obscure or remove personal data/images of anyone not involved in the incident.
Police can review or obtain unedited footage but can only do so on the authority of an Inspector or above and then only when concerning the prevention or investigation of a crime.
Amazing what I remember after 8 years
Posted 06 August 2012 - 10:03 PM
Report it to the police an obtain a crime number, this will help with any subsequent claim you may make to your insurance company.
