Soul Asylum Plays FTC's StageOne in Fairfield on Feb. 15
If you're feeling like you want somebody to shove this winter, then the Fairfield Theatre has got the show for you. Nineties alt-rockers Soul Asylum's runaway train of a tour comes careening back into Fairfield station... or at least across the street from it at StageOne, this Friday night. Having seen them a couple of years ago, they still sounded pretty great, and not like a retro act at all, except for all the memorable singles in the setlist, most of which are 20 years old at this point. Talented lead guitarist Dan Murphy called it quits last year, at the ripe age of 50, but they've got a suitable replacement, his cousin Justin Sharbono.

To distinguish a minor burn from a serious burn, the first step is to determine the extent of damage to body tissues. The three burn classifications of first-degree burn, second-degree burn and third-degree burn will help you determine emergency care.
1st-degree burn The least serious burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned, but not all the way through.
Treat a first-degree burn as a minor burn unless it involves substantial portions of the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or a major joint, which requires emergency medical attention.
2nd-degree burn When the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin (dermis) also is burned, the injury is called a second-degree burn.
If the second-degree burn is no larger than 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter, treat it as a minor burn. If the burned area is larger or if the burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint, treat it as a major burn and get medical help immediately.
For minor burns, including first-degree burns and second-degree burns limited to an area no larger than 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter, take the following action:
Minor burns usually heal without further treatment. They may heal with pigment changes, meaning the healed area may be a different color from the surrounding skin. Watch for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If infection develops, seek medical help. Avoid re-injuring or tanning if the burns are less than a year old — doing so may cause more extensive pigmentation changes. Use sunscreen on the area for at least a year.
3rd-degree burn The most serious burns involve all layers of the skin and cause permanent tissue damage. Fat, muscle and even bone may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear dry and white. Difficulty inhaling and exhaling, carbon monoxide poisoning, or other toxic effects may occur if smoke inhalation accompanies the burn.
For major burns, call 911 or emergency medical help. Until an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:
Get a tetanus shot. Burns are susceptible to tetanus. Doctors recommend you get a tetanus shot every 10 years. If your last shot was more than five years ago, your doctor may recommend a tetanus shot booster.

AlterNet, a project of the non-profit Independent Media Institute, is a progressive/liberal activist news service.[2] Launched in 1998, AlterNet claims a readership of over 3 million visitors per month,[3] though the web ratings service Quantcast estimates that it receives 1.3 million.[4]
AlterNet publishes original content as well as journalism from a wide variety of other sources. AlterNet states that its mission is to "inspire citizen action and advocacy on the environment, human rights and civil liberties, social justice, media, and health care issues".[3] AlterNet's tagline is "The Mix is the Message."
Founded in 1998, AlterNet publishes a combination of policy critiques, investigative reports and analysis, grassroots success stories, and personal narratives. Its coverage emphasizes the discovery of solutions to social problems, and its editorial philosophy is "to uphold a commitment to fairness, equality, and global stewardship, while making connections across generational, ethnic, and issue lines".[3]
Coverage is sub-divided into several special sections related to progressive news and culture, including News & Politics, World, Economy, Civil Liberties, Immigration, Reproductive Justice, Economy, Environment, Food, Water, Books, Media and Culture, Belief, Drugs, Personal Health, Sex and Relationships, Vision, and Investigations.
AlterNet publishes original content and also makes use of alternative media. The editorial staff is headed by founder and executive editor Don Hazen, a former publisher of Mother Jones.[5]

A joint trajectory generator for motion recovery Wei Li and Edward Red Department of Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602 (USA) (Received in Final Form: October 11, 2002) SUMMARY This paper describes an adaptive S-curve used to recover a tool path upon a system crash in the Windows operating system (OS). For a mechanism such as a robot or machine tool, the joint values, being delivered as setpoints to the servo-controller, are dynamically recorded by the real-time operating system also residing on the computer. The realtime OS can control the abort and record pertinent motion data after Windows OS crash. Upon system recovery, the recovery trajectory generator examines the setpoints intervals to determine the current slow joint. At every trajectory step, and for the current slow joint, the S-curve velocity profile applies the joint entry state (position, speed, acceleration, and jerk) to interpolate the motion between the setpoints in a reverse direction. The other joints are proportionally interpolated (slowed) so that they pass through each setpoint simultaneously with the slow joint, but in a reverse direction. The trajectory algorithm is optimal since the slow joint always uses the maximum allowable jerk to change the profile speed and acceleration for each trajectory step. KEYWORDS: Adaptive S-curve; Joint trajectory generator; Motion recovery. INTRODUCTION New open controllers may use a real-time operating system (OS) that resides concurrently with the Windows OS on a PC. This environment is more vulnerable to system crashes, but brings tremendous advantage to the integration of modern applications on the control platform. The direct machining research at Brigham Young University uses the process plan in a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) application to control directly a machine tool, without post-processing into APT, CL, or M&G files. In an instance where the Windows OS crashes, it is important to first stop the machining process gracefully, and then recover the tool to an acceptable prior configuration where the process can be restarted. In a system crash a real-time OS such as VenturCom s RTX can continue processing until the tool can be stopped. Unfortunately, the CAM application running under Windows will lose contact with the mechanism s final joint values through the stop sequence. The tool, once stopped awaiting the Windows OS reboot, may be located relative to the part such that it cannot be safely jogged by the operator without damaging the part. This paper presents a collision-free recovery sequence that can be applied upon primary OS failure to place the tool in a prior known configuration. It is then possible to restart the process plan from a known configuration and continue the normal process sequence. The procedure begins by recording the joint sequence of joint setpoints fed to the servo-controller in a dynamic array of fixed size, rolling over the joint values when the array fills up. RECOVERY TRAJECTORY GENERATION Given a block of joint values, we fit a trajectory for each individual joint through all intermediate values. There are a number of methods to fit an interpolation polynomial to pass through all given joint values. C.C. COOK and C.Y. Ho1 proposed cubic spline functions to represent the manipulator s tool trajectory and joint trajectories as a function of time. Lin, Chang, and Luh2 used cubic polynomials to optimize joint trajectories for industrial robots. Their method is composed of two parts: (1) off-line trajectory planning; and (2) on-line trajectory tracking. Because they use a numerical algorithm to optimize the cubic polynomial joint interpolator, it is not a real-time algorithm. Therefore, the trajectory planning must be conducted off-line. Wang3 and Patel and Thompson4 proposed B-Spline joint trajectory planning algorithms to blend all given joint values. The shortcoming of these approaches is that the planned trajectory approximates all given joint values and thus deviates from the desired trajectory. There are a number of other researchers5 7 who use different polynomial functions to represent joint trajectories. Their methods are either not suitable for on-line trajectory planning, or do not account for a mechanism s dynamic constraints, such as the maximum values for joint speed, acceleration, or jerk. Red8 presents an adaptive optimal trajectory generator that uses dynamic S-curve velocity profiles to transition both Cartesian space and joint space. His algorithm is able to adapt to instantaneous changes in speed setting and path length. This paper presents a motion recovery trajectory generator based on the adaptive S-curve. This algorithm is able to optimally plan a trajectory generator given a table of joints values. At each trajectory step, only one joint, the slowest joint, will dominate the motion. The remaining joints will be proportionally synchronized with the slow joint. The algorithm will continuously look ahead one step Robotica (2003) volume 21, pp. 185 191. 2003 Cambridge University Press DOI: 10.1017/S0263574702004897 Printed in the United Kingdom to discover the next slow joint and make a slow joint transition, if necessary. The trajectory is planned subject to the following constraints: Any joint acceleration and deceleration along the trajectory cannot exceed the max allowable value; Jerk is specified and limited; The move buffer is dynamically loaded with each new block of joint values and the algorithm is able to dynamically transition through these new joint value changes with position, speed, and acceleration continuity. S-CURVE REVIEW Trajectory generators have been extensively studied in the literature. There are several different types of trajectory generators that are studied and used in industry. Brady9 listed a few types of trajectory generators: bang-bang (also called trapezoidal profile), cosine, sine on ramp, and polynomial profiles. For more theoretical explanation of trajectory profiles, refer to references [10] and [11]. All trajectory generators share one comrnon characteristic. There are certain boundary conditions specified for the trajectory generator. Usually, these boundary conditions are the initial and final positions, velocities, and even accelerations of the manipulator and joints. Based on the max allowable velocities, accelerations, and jerks, we need to fit a trajectory to meet all boundary conditions. The trapezoidal profile is the simplest trajectory generator. It uses constant acceleration to move to a desired speed setting and requires the minimum traveling time. Unfortunately, as the speeds and accelerations of modern robots and NC machines continue to increase, this simple trajectory generator increases wear and stress on mechanisms, due to its inherent acceleration discontinuities at the beginning and end of the profile. Polynomial profiles are becoming more and more popular because they provide position, velocity, acceleration, and even jerk continuity throughout the whole profile. Among all polynomial profiles, the S profile is probably the most popular. Referring to Figure 1, the S-curve is a cubic polynomial in position and a second-order polynomial in velocity. The second-order polynomial assumed for the Scurve velocity profile is V(t)=b0+b1 t+b2 t2 (1) where the joint value s(t) is found by integrating this equation. Taking the first and second derivative gives us the acceleration and constant jerk equations: a(t)=b1+2 b2 t (2) j(t)=2 b2=const (3) Figure 1 considers a pure S-curve (no linear transition). The rise motion (0 t T) can be divided into two periods a concave period (0 t T/2) followed by a convex period (T/2 t T). Considering the maximum jerk constraint jm, we can derive the following equations for the concave and convex periods. Concave period s(t)=V0 t+jm t 3/6 (4) v(t)=V0+jm t 2/2 (5) a(t)=jm t (6) v(T/2)=Vh=(Vs+V0)/2 (7) s(T/2)=Sh=[V0+am 2 /(6jm)]am /jm (8) Convex period s(t)=Vht+am t 2/2 jm t 3/6 (9) v(t)=Vh+am t jm t 2/2 (10) a(t)=am jm t (11) s(T/2)=[Vh+am 2 /(3 jm)]am /jm (12) For a detailed explanation of equations (4) (12), please refer to reference [8]. TRAJECTORY PLANNING Given a set of joint values, it is the function of the trajectory-planning algorithm to determine what paths to take and the trajectory time to pass through all given joint values. One trajectory-planning approach is to plan an optimal trajectory for each individual joint without considering other joints. Obviously this approach is simple, but cannot guarantee that all joints will be able to pass each intermediate position simultaneously and come to a full stop at their end position at the same time. Some joints will reach their final values before others; these faster joints will remain idle at their final position until every other joint reaches its final destination. The path would deviate from the original Cartesian path. The desired motion recovery trajectory algorithm requires that all joints pass each intermediate position simultaneously and come to a full stop at their destination at the same time. By doing that, it is guaranteed that the tool Fig. 1. S-curve. tip of the manipulator will be able to follow exactly its 186 Trajectory generator original Cartesian path, before control failure, and remain collision-free. The desired trajectory-planning approach uses the jointinterpolated method. Given a set of joints values, the trajectory-planning algorithm will fit a smooth curve si(t) through all given intermediate points. The motion recovery trajectory requires that all joint trajectory profiles be coordinated so that they will pass each of their intermediate setpoints simultaneously and come to a full stop at their destination at the same time. The adaptive S-curve trajectory generator will be used to interpolate the motion. Our algorithm only plans an adaptive S-curve for the slow joint. The remaining joints will be slowed proportional to the slow joint motion. To start our algorithm, we must determine the initial slow joint. In our algorithm we arbitrarily assume joint 1 is the slow joint. This begins our method to determine the initial slow joint. Assume that the entry velocity and acceleration of joint 1 is v0 and a0. We specify that the initial jerk value for joint 1 is the maximum allowable jerk jm. Based on the known entry velocity, acceleration, and jerk values for joint 1, we can derive the following equations to calculate entry velocity, acceleration, and jerk for the remaining joints. ratioj1= sj2 sj1 s12 s11 (13) Vj(0)=ratioj1*v0 (14) aj(0)=ratioj1*a0 (15) jj(0)=ratioj1*jm (16) where sj1, sj2, s11, s12 are the given first and second joint values for joint j and joint 1. For the jth joint, the entry joint velocity, acceleration, and jerk are subject to the following constraints: vj(0) <vjmax (17) aj(0) <ajmax (18) jj(0) <jjmax (19) If one or more of the equations in (17) (l9) is violated, we replace joint 1 with joint j as the slow joint and load the corresponding joint j entry velocity and acceleration values into v0 and a0. We repeat this procedure until we have examined all the independent joints. At this point, one of the joints will be chosen as the initial slow joint. Our motion recovery trajectory algorithm uses the same trajectory rate that was applied when the system failure occurred. Suppose at any moment t, the jth joint is the slow joint. We can find its instantaneous position, velocity, acceleration and jerk from its S-curve trajectory. Suppose their values are sj(t), sj (t), sj (t), and sj (t). The jth joint value is an interpolated value that falls within the joint list: sj1, sj2, . . . , sjn. At the moment t, sj(t) must fall within two joint values in the list. Suppose sj(t) [sjk, sjk+1]. The following interpolation equations calculate the instantaneous position, velocity, acceleration, and jerk for the other joints noted here by i: ratioji= sik+1 sik sjk+1 sjk (20) si(t)=sik+ratioji [sj(t) sjk ] (21) si (t)=ratioji sj (t) (22) si (t)=ratiojisj (t) (23) si (t)=ratioji sj (t) (24) For the ith joint, the instantaneous joint velocity, acceleration, and jerk are subject to the following constraints: si (t) <si max (25) si (t) <si max (26) s i (t) <si max (27) If at any moment, the ith joint velocity, acceleration, or jerk exceed their maximums, then one or more of the equations in (25) (27) is no longer valid. At this moment, the ith joint becomes the slow joint and we have to slow the motion to not violate its constraints. When transitioning to a new slow joint, the trajectory algorithm plans a new adaptive S-curve for the new joint. The entry state can be determined by the last motion state proportionally determined from (21) (24). Suppose the new slow joint entry velocity and acceleration are V0 and a0. We can then plan a new adaptive S-curve for the new slow joint based on the values of V0, a0, the remaining joint interpolation distance, and the transitional state. Figure 2 shows the adaptive S-curve profile for the new slow joint, where V0 and a0 are the entry velocity and acceleration of joint i; Vs is the set speed and am is the maximum allowable acceleration. Because a slow joint transition can happen in any profile period, Table I lists all possible transitional profiles necessary to reach the set speed. Depending on the transitional type we apply a different jerk sign for the adaptive S-curve. Sometimes the jerk is zero. Fig. 2. Adaptive S-curve profile. Trajectory generator 187 The adaptive S-curve is revised for the transitional entry values V0 and a0, starting from the position polynomial equation: si(t)=b0+b1 t+b2t2+b3 t3 (28) By knowing the entry position, velocity, and acceleration, we solve for the unknown coefficients in equation (28): b0=si(0) (29) b1=V0 (30) b2=a0 /2 (31) The time t is always adjusted to zero when beginning a new slow joint transition. By knowing the transitional state, we select the right value for jerk from Table I, giving b3 as: b3=j/6 (32) where j=0, +jm, or jm. Rather than solve a very difficult closed-form solution for a feasible upper speed limit, the remaining distance and other motion conditions are used to limit the speed increase adaptively. The concept is to make a max jerk step to increase the entry speed towards the set speed. By knowing the remaining distance and other motion conditions, we only increase the speed if we can meet the terminal conditions. At any one moment, at least one of the joints uses its max jerk to change the speed. So this approach is incrementally optimal. For a detailed explanation of the transitional states listed in Table I, refer to reference 8. DEMONSTRATION To illustrate the algorithm, we consider two examples. The first example is for a simple two revolute joint robot. Table II lists a sequence of joint values stored in the recovery array. The velocity, acceleration and jerk constraints for this two revolute joint robot are listed in Table III. The robot links begin at rest at the starting point, and come to full stop at the end point. This gives the initial and final boundary conditions for position and velocity. To start our motion recovery trajectory generator algorithm, we initially determine the slow joint to plan our trajectory. Based on the procedure described in equations (13) (19), joint 2 is chosen as the initial slow joint. After 0.275 seconds, joint 1 becomes the slow joint. At this moment, we transition the slow joint from joint 2 to joint 1 and plan a new adaptive S-curve trajectory for joint 1. At time 1.60 seconds, the slow joint transition takes place as joint 2 becomes the slow joint again. Based on the entry position, velocity, acceleration conditions and the remaining distance, we plan a new adaptive S-curve for joint 2. Figure 3 shows the trajectories for joints 1 and 2. As we can see from this figure, the two joints start their motion at the same time and come to a full stop simultaneously. The position, velocity, and acceleration of two joints are continuous throughout the whole trajectory. The velocity and acceleration of both joints remain within the robot s velocity and acceleration constraints. The second example is a 5-Axis mill that is used in DMAC (Direct Machine And Control) research. The mill has X, Y, Z translational joints which displace the tool, and A and C revolute joints placed on the base table. Table IV lists a sequence of joint values through which all the joints must be interpolated. The velocity, acceleration and jerk constraints are listed in Table V. Joint 1 is chosen as the initial slow joint based on the procedure outlined in equations (13) (19). At time T=0.43 seconds, joint 3 becomes the slow joint based on joint dynamic constraints equations (25) (27). At this instant, joint 3 has a velocity of 29.214059 mm/s and acceleration of Table I.

Based on this entry velocity, acceleration and the remaining distance of 9.296675 mm, we plan a new adaptive S-profile for joint 3 starting at time 0.43 seconds and proportionally plan the motion for the other four joints. At time T=0.89 seconds, the transition of slow joint takes place and joint 1 becomes the slow joint again. Based on the same method as above, we plan a new adaptive S-profile for joint 1 and proportionally synchronize the rest of joints with joint 1. Figures 4 and 5 show the trajectories for joints X-Y-Z, and A-C, respectively. As we can see joints 1 and 2 start moving while joints 3, 4, and 5 are initially at rest. Joint 3 starts moving at T=0.27 seconds and joint 4 and 5 start moving at T=0.28 seconds. These results agree with the joint sequence in Table IV. All five joints stop simultaneously at the end position. The velocity and acceleration of all joints are limited by the robot joints constraints. The position, velocity, and acceleration profiles are continuous throughout the whole trajectory. The trajectory generator is run at a constant rate of 1,000Hz on both examples. Because this trajectory rate is very high, the spaces between any two interpolated joint values are very small. This guarantees the accuracy of the recovered Cartesian tool path. Fig. 3.

This is critical in salvaging parts that might normally be damaged when jogging the tool to a safe position after system restart. To prove the feasibility of this motion recovery trajectory algorithm, two examples were considered. The first example demonstrates recovery for a two revolute joint robot while the second example applies the recovery methods to a more complex 5-axis mill. Both simulation and physical experiments using the DMAC open-controller demonstrated the Fig. 4. Trajectories for joints X, Y and Z. Fig. 5. Trajectories for joints A and C. 190 Trajectory generator feasibility and usefulness of the recovery trajectory algorithms. Experiments show that the tool could be recovered to follow its original Cartesian path before controller failure, using the same trajectory rate that originally generated the stored setpoints list (1KHz or higher).

1987 Sahara
I have a nice 1987 Sahara. It has a 360 Dodge motor out of a 87 Ramcharger and 904 transmission that were professionally installed. The transmission has been upgraded and rebuilt, the t-case has been upgraded and rebuilt. I am just getting to the end of this project and I am no longer interested. The engine could use some tuning and it needs the shift linkage hooked up. I have a new set of tires and stock 2001 rims for it.
I am thinking $5500 for it as it sits. |

I Love Horse Cock's
I fantasize about a horse cock and then getting the real thing.
I am a 32 year old woman as my parents own a horse stud when I was 12 years old and I never forgot the farm and I worked around horse.
One day I saw one of our horses fucking a mare, I have fantasized about a horse fucking me in my later years.
I have been married for 10 years and our sex life has change but my husband has no idea of my cravings to increase my sexual drive. I love to masturbate and do several times a week. When my husband is fucking me I start let my mind wonder to my secret fantasy, me being fucked by a huge horses' cock.
We live in a small town and there is horse stable all around but as we live on a small block there was no way we could have a horse. I love to ride horses and finally talked John, my husband into finding a stable that was affordable where I could take up my desire go riding. Little did he know the secret reason behind my wants I just wanted to be around horse and specially stallions', to see those lovely cocks?
I have come across this affordable stable where a Sophie's the own and she asked what type of horse I would like. Finally found a medium horse who I liked, called Tiger. He was well hung having a very long cock.
I would take him out for a ride down near the stream I would talk to him and telling him how much I wanted him to fuck me with his cock. I would cum as I sat in the saddle riding him as I whispered to him.
Then one day, I had stopped at my regular spot to water the Tiger and was resting him as I talked to him. As a talked to Tiger he would dangle his cock and I'm shore he could under stand me this made me play with my pussy as he always was making me cum thinking that my cunt could take his cock.
"O Tiger you are so big. I bet you would like to slide that huge horse cock into my cunt with easy. You make my cunt so wet looking at your huge cock."
One day I was surprised as I did not see him a Sophie's young stable hand boy was on the other side of the stream watching me and listening to every word I was saying! And on the day I decided to start to rub Tiger's cock sheath so I could feel it get aroused as Tiger just stayed still and extended his huge cock for me to stroke it!
"I'd love you to have that cock in side of me you make my so hot".
A voice came from across the water "He would"
I was the stable boy who had been lessoning all what I was saying and doing
"Would you like Tiger to fuck your horny cunt with his cock?" Said the boy
I did not what to say "How long have you been there" I asked
"Long enough for me to know you want you want to have Tiger to fuck you".
"I watched you rubbing his cock and as it growing longer and longer as you wanted more and more".
With this he waded across to me.
I had my hand from inside my riding pants as I played with my cunt while my other hand was stroking the Tiger's getting a long cock. I had been caught playing make a spectacle of my self with my sexual desire of my cunt and the horse cock!
I tried to hide my hand and was as embarrassed as he smiled at me. I did not know what to do or say.
I could see the boy also had a bulge and he was getting horny as will.
"He is a special horse, you know.' Said the boy "You have meet the owner the Sophie the owner of the stables she has had him trained to please her." He said, "What" "I know because I help to train Tiger so she could enjoy Tiger's talent as she loves his big long cock to"
"You mean she trained Tiger to fuck her?" I asked, "She loves playing with his that big horse cock's and some times suck Tiger till she is coved with juice and she loves to get enjoyment getting fucked in her juice cunt." "You mean she gets the horse to fuck her" "Yes and she does it for money" "What"
"Letts go back to the stables and I'll show you her special stall set up"
"He said smiling at me, 'But it will cost you."
"What do you mean, cost me?" I asked.
"You will have to let me fuck you first." he answered, "Before you get Tiger"
"You are so hot and I have wanted your cunt ever since I saw you." "What"
I smiled back at him as he took the reins and led us back to the stables. As we went inside, he pointed to a stall at the end of the shed that had been always locked. I asked is that where you train the stallions as he was telling me that it was a special place.
"This is where the owner has me bring Tiger to her." He said as he opened the locked stall. "Tiger is well trained and he seem to like pleasing"
As we went inside, I saw a padded bench table and several bales of hay arranged around the stall. I also saw a couple of clean towels, a blanket, and a jar of lotion sitting on a stand close to the any action.
Just to look at it, no one would think twice about anything was different about it, but I was looking closer. I could see there was a lot of use to the bench and that the hay was arranged in a certain way in a cradle in order to have the horse on them with his front feet. That would give anyone access to horse cock as he would be above them. It all fit in as I observed the stall.
"Do you think I can take Tigers big cock?" I asked the boy. "He looks too big for me."
"I won't let him hurt you with his huge long dick?" I here to make sure that don't happen to see that he is gentle and you can enjoy yourself." He replied, "And we will get you good and wet first! That is what the cream is for and you will be cumming wet from me!"
I looked around to make sure no one was in sight as I pulled the young over to me, my hand groping his body until my hand went down to his bulge in his pants. His arms were around me and I felt his cock as it was getting harder.
I was rubbing my body against him; he was making feel existed and wanting.
"I can feel a young willing nice cock too," I said, "You feel quite large. Is this for me?"
He took the blanket and laid it on the bench as he then eased me down to the bench on top of the blanket. I raised my hips as he helped me to take my riding pants off as he also unzipped his pants and let then fall on to the straw filled floor. I looked to see his lovely young cock as he held it for me in his hand, the thick head looking as huge as 8in dick, my hands went to it.
I lay there on my back and took his cock as we both guided it to my wet cunt. I felt his big dick as it entered me, making little rapid thrusts as he went into me. I wrapped my legs around his hips and pulled his firm buttocks cheeks to me as he slid further up my hot little willing cunt.
He started to fuck me harder and harder as he thrust that nice cock to my cunt like an expert. All I could think about was that big horse next and his cock as I started to blow!
"Oh, yes! That's it! Fuck me!" I cried out, "Cum in me! Fill me with that hot cum! Fuck me! Fuck me!" I was having a young stud ride me 15 years my junior and it made me feel young again.
I felt his sperm started to erupt, his rod throbbing in me as it started to spew forth with his love juices. Filling my cunt with his hot cum all her could give. My ass was bouncing off the bench to meet each thrust he made into me; I was enjoying this cock and thinking how luck I was and I new this was a start of that horse cock I have been dreaming about for years I was to get made me organism much harder than I had ever had before.
He is pumping me full of sperm and the beautiful shot that big load into my hungry cunt. I was working my hips up to take every bit of his cock and hot cum as he fucked me.
Then I felt him start to slow down and knew he was fucked out. His cock started to soften as I felt him withdraw from my wet pussy as he had made me ready for my dream.
Next came Tiger
"Just lay there like you are while I'll go and get Tiger." He told me, "Now you are going to have that dream of yours a horse cock! So don't clean yourself up yet."
He led in Tiger into the stall with one hand and in the other a stainless steal bucket. As I lay on the specially made bench table, he placed the bucket at the end of the bench.
Next he guided Tiger with his front hooves into a specially build stand and a place for Tiger to feed off a bale of hay.
Tiger then was tether to the post stand and was being move so he was over me.
I watched as the boy took Tiger's cock and started to play with it, making it longer with every stroke of his hand. Tiger was doing his bit as the horse's cock was getting so long and big! Before I had second thoughts to change my mind I felt his cock coming in contact with my cunt as I was laying down on the table.
"Now, open your legs wider so I can get Tiger's cock in that cunt of yours." With my two hands I stretch my snatch to open greater than I have had it before "He said "relax" "How can I" As I felt that hot cock against my pussy lips." Do you love that?"
Then I felt that huge horse cock as it parted my lips, as it lunged into my willing cunt. He was so big! My cunt was spread so wide and I was felling his cock as it was going deeper as he eased that monster to me. I had my legs spread wider than I ever had done before as his long horse cock continued to fill my throbbing cunt. He was making me cum as he stabbed me with that monstrous cock! His horse cock must have been two feet long but I could only take in the first 10 in's!
There I was, laying on a table in a horse stall, letting a horse fuck me!
"What kind of woman was I?"
I was thinking as my entire body trembled from the climaxes that big cock was giving me.
He was just too good! The boy was stroking the horse cock with vigor. Tiger giant cock was in my beautifully cumming pussy. I was throwing my cunt to get more to take every bit I could as he started to fill me with hot cum. What a feeling like turning on a tap of hot thick pasted never ending.
I felt that huge horse cock as it throbbed inside my tight walls of my cunt, then felt the hot sperm as the boy was massaging Tiger. The boy had worked Tiger cock as hard as he could giving me a feeling and all the sperm my cunt needed. I started to fill me with beautifully horse sperm. It was so hot not like I have ever felt before!
It's some thing you must try to get an indescribable pleaser.
Tiger was shooting his horse sperm as deep in my cunt as it filled my every crevice! That hot sperm was feeling so heavenly to me! From that day I loved huge horse's cock as they filled me up and I need them!
It's just keep coming so many times that I was almost senseless with horse cock continued to pump me full of his hot horse sperm. I must have had shot 5 gallons of that hot juice to me!
I had so much in me I started swilling my gut and the next thing the presser being force the sperm out around his big huge cock and making my cunt larger it even been.
There was love pain and giving me pleaser expanding my cunt.
The bucket was catching all my juice dropping into the bucket and the boy was still trying to get more out of Tiger.
My body was till trembling as I felt his huge cock start to withdraw from my aching cunt. I watched as the last of the horse cum flowed out of my pussy. The boy took that monster cock out of my well fucked cunt.
I lay there without moving as the boy helped Tiger down from the stand, his cock limp now but still so long as it flopped to the floor.
What have I done getting pleaser from a boy that making my dream came true which I wanted for such a long time to get fucked by a horse?
Some how this is better that my husband.
I waited until the boy came back into the stall to help me from the bench.
"See. I told you that you would like it!" he said, "did you like it, didn't you?'
"I loved it! That was the best fuck I ever had!" I replied as he helped me to my feet, "He shot so much cum in me! See it running out of my pussy?"
After that day I became a regular visitor to the riding stable and the stable boy would fuck me each time before I had him help me fuck Tiger.
After I had a number a weeks when I came across Sophie again how is the own of Tiger she was in the stall with the stable boy waiting for me. She said "you are doing a first class job" "What?" "Yes you are helping me out" "What do you mean"
"The spurn juice that drops into the bucket I sell for a profit and with you using Tiger I have been able to train another horse so I here to thank you my self"
"You get paid for what I do" "O yes you are very good"
But I want pure sperm from Tiger so my stable boy must only fuck in the ass and only Tiger fuck you in your cunt then I get a better price.
I thought a minuet why not I'm getting what I want.
"Ok I will enjoy that will I get a cut from the profits "
That makes me proud that some thing I love and I'll get paid of love it
"We'll come to arrangement with money later?"
"Would you like to see my new stallion" "O Yes"
With that the stable boy went and brought in a magnificent horse that was as frisky I had every seen. What a stallion taller and build for speed more that Tiger could have ever been.
Rearing up with eyes and snorting you could see the tension in the stables.
Us two ladies move out of the way the stable boy with perseverance got the stallion up on the holding box and tethering him in to permission.
The Sophie asks if I wanted to stay so the stallion could get to know us and you can help us out.
"All right"
I had notice she was wearing a dress that was button all down the front.
The Stable Boy got the bench and basket ready and maneuvered the stallion over the table
The Stable boy said "I think he ready" and with that the Sophie started to unbutton her dress and with no under garments she was wearing. Sliding on the bench and poisoning for her cunt so all the drop's what she was about to receive would go straight into the bucket.
The Stable boy started to rub with cream Sophie pussy then started to finger her till he was fisting her to get her worked up.
Watching I started to crum and when she smiled at my and begging me to come closer I had a strange thing come over me. I started to stroke her firm breast and she was groping my cunt through my riding pants. I took one step back and undo them dropping to the floor with my knickers and stepping out of them.
As I got closer to her I bent over and started French kissing her at the same time rub her tits and she was playing with my cunt and I was opening my legs for more..
She was bucking her ass off as she was fingering me and I was more and more feeling the pleasure of my self. The boy had a job keeping his fist in Sophie trying to working madly making her crum. He pulls his fist out of Sophie and guided my hand to take over.
I had not done any think like the before but some how it was natural start to fist another woman she was producing juice making it easy for me to fist her hard. As she was demanding me to work harder on her.
The Stable boy then when to the nose of the stallion and started to rub the juice around his nostrils'. That is when the horse started come aroused. Woo I thought Tiger was huge this stallion had a 40in's easy and as thick as a big bottle double the girth of Tiger.
The stable Boy came and with his two hands started to stroke the massive stallion cock.
He then direct me know to start rubbing my fisting hand in the horse's nostrils', as I did he rammed the cock up Sophie cunt. She screamed "Fuck" and the horse started trying to rear up but could not.
Patting the horse to cram down while the boy was pumping madly and I could see the tears in the ladies eye's "Fuckin shit he big" she called out. I said "are you Ok" "Fuck yes I'm getting a ride of my life"
With that see started to buck more "Fuck - Fuck that Fuckin good"
Next minute she scram out "he's blowing his hot crum up her" Yes the sperm was entering her cunt and getting bowed out around the extra huge cock straight into the bucket. She nearly filled the bucket.
The boy did not stop stroking the cock looking for all the horse fluid could give her.
The horse went limp and he pulled it out of her.
Moving the horse to one side tethering it so it come not move the Sophie rolled over on her stomach and with her legs straddle the bucket where she was dripping sperm out of her cunt.
The Boy grabbing some juice on his hand started to bring his cock into an erection and Sophie started to put her both hands around her buttocks and opening her ass for the boy to fuck her as she promise the stable boy. He did not take long to give one big push and have her screaming "Fuck' It hurt her but once in side she settled down to" Fuck the ass off me you little basted come fuck me hard fuck me" She was enjoying it and I was happy watching and playing with my self.
He started to push on her hips that was squashed down onto Sophie gut and that was pumping juice out of her into the bucket.
He rode her hard very hard and she was expecting it easy till he yelled out " hear it blows" and she seam to open her buttocks more to get every drop he had.
With her finial juice coming out of her pussy she got up and said." That was fuckin extra good"
Un-tethering the horse and leading the stallion out of the stall the Sophie said to me "Do you want he to bring Tiger in so you can be fucked to
" I had been cramming just watching her performance. "Ok "
With that it was the first time a had a another woman help me, and it was not the last, I feel fuckin good, but I thought when would it be my turn to have the stallion in me.
Sophie "If you want you can have a casual job around the stable" "Ok".
I'm getting job and getting paid for it want love doing.
Over the next 6 month we trained 5 stallions and the Sophie always was the first till on day she said to me "Have you ever tried to fit a 2 liter Coco bottle in your pussy" "O No" "Well I have a customer that want us to extract his stallion and I wanted to know if you could get your self ready if you want to be a first to have this stallion. This one will be extra big and I suggest trying a 2 liter bottle first."
I thought about it and said so far I enjoyed all I have done. "Will I see when we will be getting the new stallion' "Next week some time" "I might give it ago."
The stable boy said "I can help you with plenty of lubrication the new stallion should fit, but to be on the safe side we must stretch you to take all sizes so we will start smaller and build up to stretch your cunt with out any pain just pleasure."
I thought I was big enough to take any thing but a cock as big as a 2 liter bottle that going to stretch my cunt. What I have done so far I have loved it putting me into trance and bliss beyond I have ever dream of.
He always made me relaxed and caring. Ok lets' give it ago" He started with and vibrator then over the next week went from 375 can that was the same size the stallion I had been used to then a small bottle 750 ml and then a 1.25lt which I was surprised I could fit easy.
With his help and two day before that when I was introduced to a 2 liter bottle, at first with the neck end and when I excepted that Ok he turned it upside down lubricated well and I my self squatted and enter it in my cunt the big end. Tears come to my eyes as I want to, but my cunt was saying no. It told a lot of trial and encouragement for the both of them till I was taking it with out any strain of my cunt.
Next day the new stallion came in to the stable "O shit it was a Clydesdale" the biggest I had every seen. Sophie said if we can we are getting double the money for his sperm'
Know I now why she needs me to expand my cunt with a 2 liter bottle.
The stable boy got the Clydesdale in the right position and I lay under think shit what have I put my self in for.
The Sophie fisted me easy and to get the smell for the horse and I product more than every she made me crum more that once while the stable boy put more of lubrication than he had before so the horse cock would slide in my cunt.
When they both roused the Clydesdale to him maximum his cock was true as big as a 2 liter bottle in girth but was a good 45 inch in length but I still only could take 11 inch's
I was ready. I was surprised that how easy it fitted and how soft not like the hard 2 liter bottle It feel good and surprised the best I had so far'
Lying underneath him he was huge but gentle tell until the two of them was rubbing is huge cock to get him to blow his sperm into me.
He blow and I thought that he was going to blow me up and gut swelled making me look like I was 9 month pregnant it 30 seconds. Because he was so tight fitting in my cunt the juice could not escape at first then my skin could not expand any further I could feel my cunt opening even more just like I was having a baby. "Fuck he filling me" I cried out.
Sophie said "You are Fucking you are good" with that the Clydesdale went limp so the stable boy pulled it out and I squatted over the bucket.
The stallion must have been holding back for years but when her let go it was like a freight train going in a tunnel straight in straight out.
The stable boy said you have done a good job so I will not fuck you to-day and turn to the Sophie and said "I'll take it out of you I'm going to fuck your ass off so I can get the promise" She look at the boy as she had given the orders before this time the boy was giving orders. "She has done a very good job so I'll accept your dick to-day"
With that the Sophie got onto the table next to me as I was still squatting and dripping crum into the bucket. The stable boy started to rub her pussy and it was not long before fisting her and she was garbing his arm making him pump it in more and harder. She was still excited after watching me take on that Clydesdale and want to get her cunt rammed as she was climaxing and climaxing.
With me sitting on the bucket and just inches way a stable boy man hood that was erection stiff with 9in in front of me I had to suck it. I found my self grabbing his buttocks so I could deep throat him while he was fisting Sophie. I was making fool of my self. I was chocking as I could feel the whole 9 in and his balls. I was taking it all down my throat and was putting me in a world of dreams. My gut was pumping and then he blow when my throat I was excepting all his sperm. It was warm and I did not waste a drop it tasted fuck good.
By this time Sophie was dimming to get fuck but with a limb cock he come up with the idea to use the large bottle that was on the side that I had practice with. After his fisting hand was extracted a huge cunt was open to take any thing. So he pushes the bottle in the cunt and made it disappear than then made the Sophie close her leg so she could feel the enjoyment of fulfillment. He tuned her over and she straight way moved her hand to open her buttocks and I was surprised the boy had come alive with his cock erection in such a short time. Ram it in her ass as she screamed out with. "fuck it all the way in you little prick"
His ball was hitting to bottle as Sophie was ridden like I had never seen before and she was screaming out for more.
Sophie got so hot she order the stable boy to bring in another stallion to please her.
I thought I was sex mad she was insane it was so easy for Sophie to take on more that one stallion in a day and I think all the owner of the stallions fuck her as well.
I cleaned up and so did the others and the day I would never forget.
I would go home to my husband and let him fuck my well stretched pussy, not knowing that a few hours earlier I had had a Clydesdale and suck a boy and fisted my boss Sophie.
Just in a days work.
I was so happy over the time I worked there and I was filling my cunt by a different stallions and a stable boy using my ass and a huge bottle that please my wants.
My husband is happy that at last I found a job I like.
Try you're dreams and felling out it will blow your mind.

Individualized Education Program | IEP The Individualized Education Program, usually called an IEP, is a written statement of the educational program designed to meet your child's special needs. Every child who qualifies for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) must have an IEP. The IEP is the foundation document that details all the special education and related services needed for a student to receive a free appropriate public education, or FAPE. A meeting to develop the IEP must be held within 30 days of determining that the child is eligible to receive special education services. IEP Team | Present Levels | Identification of Needs | Goals | Related / Supplementary Services | Least Restrictive Environment | Special Factors l Extended School Year l Age of Majority | Annual Review of IEP | Appeals Process for Conflicts | Additional Resources
Families and Advocates Partnership for Education has parent information and planning for and writing the IEP. Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 provides the full text of the law and summaries of each section. National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities (NICHCY) has information on writing an IEP and details on different types of related services. Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities (OCECD) has publications on the IEP process that are free to parents. Ohio Department of Education has information on writing an IEP. Ohio Legal Rights Service is an independent state agency that provides protection, advocacy and assistance for children and adults with disabilities in Ohio. They have information on IDEA, a section on frequently asked questions about special education, and a manual on negotiation skills. School Standards Guides provide information on the curriculum and goals for kindergarten through eighth grade in Ohio. U.S. Department of Education has model IEP, procedural safeguards and prior written notice forms. Wrightslaw has comprehensive information on writing the IEP. You can also read about writing a SMART IEP that has goals that are specific, relevant and measurable. There are links to information on related services and tips on how to request a teacher aide. IEP TeamThe parent plays a vital role on the IEP team, along with educators and other qualified professionals. This team works collaboratively to develop the child's IEP. Information gathered during the evaluation process will be used in the development of the special education services and supports to address the unique learning needs of your child. The IEP team includes:
Members of the IEP team may be excused from attending if they submit their input to the team in writing and if the parent consents. Present LevelsPresent Levels of Performance describes the child's current skills in academic and functional areas. This is objective information that includes how your child's disability affects progress in the general curriculum and appropriate activities. The IEP considers the strengths of the child, concerns of the parents, family and student vision of the future, results of the most recent multifactored evaluation, and academic, developmental and functional needs of the child. Identification of NeedsIdentification of Needs describes the factors that are interfering with a child making progress in the general curriculum. These are the needs that will require specially designed instruction. If there are too many needs to address within a year, the team will usually prioritize them. GoalsAnnual Goals are written that are specific, measurable and designed to address your child's unique educational needs in academic and functional areas. Short-term objectives will only be required for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. Student progress on reaching goals is measured and reported back to the parents, usually at the same time that report cards are distributed. If a child is not making progress, this is often a signal that teaching strategies and instructional materials need to be evaluated. Related / Supplementary ServicesIdentification of Services describes the specially designed services / instruction needed to help the child reach annual goals, progress in the general education curriculum, participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities, and be educated with their non disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate. These supports can include a variety of related services, supplementary aids, modifications and accommodations that will enable the child to benefit from the special education program designed in the IEP:
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) for a child is assumed to be the general education classroom. This means that a child be educated and participate with non disabled peers, to the maximum extent appropriate, in general education, extracurricular and other nonacademic activities. Special education instruction can be provided in a number of ways, on a continuum from least restrictive to more restrictive settings. This could include instruction in regular classes, special classes, special schools, home instruction, hospitals or institutions. If a placement outside the public school is recommended by the IEP team, such as in a private school, this option will be provided at no cost to you. If the team determines that a different setting is needed for services, an explanation of the extent to which the child will not participate with non disabled children in the regular class is required. Special FactorsSpecial Factors must also be considered by the team when writing the IEP:
Extended School Year (ESY)Extended School Year services, often called ESY, are special education and related services that are identified as necessary for the child to meet specific goals in the IEP. ESY differs from the regular school year program because it is designed to prevent the loss or regression of specific skills that may occur during school breaks, such as over the summer. The need for extended school year services should be discussed at an IEP meeting early enough in the school year as this process can often take time for the parents and school to agree on services. The team considers many factors including the student's individual needs, progress toward IEP goals, the nature and severity of the disability, behaviors that significantly interfere with learning, the likelihood of regression caused by school breaks and the failure to recover these critical skills in a reasonable time.
Age of MajorityAge of Majority means that beginning at least one year before the student reaches the age of majority, 18 years in Ohio, the student will be informed of all rights under IDEA that will transfer to him. In Ohio, students can be responsible for educational decisions and IEP development at age 18. Annual Review of IEPYour child's IEP must be reviewed and revised at least once a year. However, this can be done more often if you or the school request it. For example, if your child is not making progress toward goals, or you have new information about your child's disability and its impact on the educational process, it would be a good time to request an IEP meeting to consider revisions. Up to 15 states will be given permission to offer multi-year IEP's, not to exceed three years. Parents will have the option of turning down a multi-year IEP. Appeals Process for ConflictsIf you disagree with the IEP, you can indicate that on the document and then follow the strategies for resolving conflicts through due process. The first time your child receives an IEP, your signature is required before special education services can begin. |

Review Details
NexStar 127SLT Computerized Telescope
- Product Review (submitted on July 30, 2012):
A relatively low price, still good quality telescope: easy set up, light weight, easy to transport.
Finition on the electrical part was not good. A connector was missing in the battery compartment and a loose connection made difficult to start the engine.

Hotel Guest Reviews of the Hyatt Regency Osaka
Our hotel ratings and reviews are from real hotel guests. Priceline.com ensures that its reviews are guests-only by proactively sending hotel surveys to customers after they've completed their hotel stays. In the post-stay surveys, priceline.com hotel customers are asked a number of questions about their stay and the hotel. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, the survey asks guests to rate their overall experience and specifically rate the hotel's cleanliness, staff and location. Priceline.com does not allow site visitors to post unsolicited hotel reviews.Nancy

I don't like having to pay to use the pool and fitness room.
Lovely, very friendly staff, great food, we ate in two of the restaurants. Beautifully presented, awesome, luxurious place with shopping nearby and a great view of the docks!
