Quality assurance
- See also: Accuracy, Completeness
Quality Assurance tools help lead to better quality of OSM data. Often, the tools achieve this by providing a list of bugs in the data, which mappers can then go and fix using editing tools. The bugs are either automatically detected based on rules and data analysis, or the tools provide a means of manually reporting them, or some combination of the two. There are many different ideas for how to do this, and what kind of bugs to focus on, hence many different tools.
OpenStreetMap is often more up-to-date and of a higher quality than other commercial maps when dealing with New and Changed Ways.
Bug reporting tools
These are tools that try to highlight and point out parts of the data that are likely wrong. There are also reports from manual quality checks by humans. In both cases, the reported issues may contain false positives and, when editing, care should be taken to ensure their accuracy. However, they can provide a very valuable visualisation of which areas need attention and can help spot and correct errors.
- Notes↙
Notes is a feature of the OpenStreetMap website. Error reports can be added by using the 'Add a note' button in the lower right corner. Notes uses the same concept as OpenStreetBugs. It is anticipated that OpenStreetBugs will be phased out and superseded by Notes.
- MapDust↙
MapDust is a bug tool operated by skobbler, which is also integrated into their OSM-based turn-by-turn navigation solution, thus originally focusing on navigation-relevant bugs but now serving as a general bug tool. As many of its users (end users!) may not be aware of OpenStreetMap at all, there are also quite a few non-relevant error reports included, but it does contain many good reports that are not covered by other tools. If a bug is determined to be caused by OSM data, an OSM editor can fix the data and mark the bug as resolved. Currently it is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Romanian.
Error detection tools
Error Detecting Tools check the OSM data for potential data errors, inaccuracy or sparsely mapped places. Users should check if these structures are really wrong and correct the data for a continuously rising data quality.
- Keep Right↙
Keep Right (keepright.at) shows a large number of automatically detected potential errors on a map or in list form. It has a system for reporting false positives and for labelling a bug as fixed. It has rules to automatically detect the following error types: non-closed areas, dead-ended one-ways, almost junctions, deprecated tags, missing tags, bridges/tunnels without layer (careful - not always an error), motorways without ref, places of worship without religion, POIs without name, ways without nodes, floating islands, un-tagged railway crossings, wrongly-used railway crossing tag, objects with FIXME=* tags, and relations without type. Keep Right shows tens of thousands of errors, including many that have little impact (e.g. a stream intersecting a highway: technically a bridge is needed here, but existing renders assume the stream is in a culvert).
There is a documentation on how to solve keep-right-errors, currently only in German language: DE:Keep Right Users Guide
- Osmose↙
Osmose [1] Osmose is a tool similar to Keep Right. Currently, it covers:
- France (the metropolitan area, including Corsica), and its overseas (all 5 DOM's, the smaller COM's, and New Caledonia);
- some nearby countries in Europe : Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, Italy;
- some nearby countries in Africa (50% of continent) and Indian Ocean;
- Quebec, Norway, Greenland, Nicaragua;
- Haiti, Philippines.
- Two analyses are covering the planet in two cases:
- a cache of OpenStreetBugs errors
- administrative boundaries not close
- Reported by User: http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/byuser/ then your user name
- JOSM Validator↙
JOSM/Validator. A feature of JOSM that checks data loaded into the editor, highlights errors and warnings, and can (on request) perform some automatic fixes.
- The Gary68 tools↙
Gary68 has created a whole bunch of quality assurance tools. The source code of all Gary68 tools is published online. see also Category:gary68
- WayCheck is a program which checks the OSM data (file) for open ends and crossings. The found positions must be evaluated by a user and he or she can correct the data in JOSM or Potlatch or post a mark in Openstreetbugs. The Waycheck page lists reports generated by the program and any user is encouraged to run reports and correct errors listed on the page and its links. This is especially useful for the quality of routing related data.
- MotorwayCheck lists problems related to highway=motorway. Page also shows reports.
- osmdiff is a program which compares two osm files and documents the changes in list and map form. Some reports can be seen here: osmdiff reports.
- unmappedplaces finds a list of potentially unmapped places. These are reported on the wiki page (or Unkartografiert page for German places) The query can be run for other countries as well.
- Mapping Quality is the successor of unmappedplaces. See the wiki page for the results. You get automatic street directory, KPIs (numbers) per place, maps that show status and CSV files for further processing.
- SomeChecks performs some checks: One-way check, Roundabout check, Double-node check (ways), Area Check.
- Relation Diff - Differences in relations
- Relation Check

US interstate refs List of ref numbers and corresponding OSM interstates.
- layers.openstreetmap.fr↙
FR:Servers/layers.openstreetmap.fr provides a slippy map with image layers to help people find possible errors in the data with worldwide coverage.
The service provides:
- layers with roads/street …
- having no name
- no ref
- no one-way
- drawing fixmes and notes texts.
- This tool also generates half-transparent coloured layers showing administrative areas by admin_level, as well as other "political" areas (used in France for mapping electoral subdivisions, as well as intercommunal structures of cooperation that do not fit the hierarchy of admin levels, but used as well in other countries for similar non hierarchical administrative, judiciary and electoral boundaries). These coloured layers allow searching easily for missing/broken/incomplete/unclosed boundaries as well as overlapping/duplicate boundaries of the same type, or boundaries that are not tagged correctly to be found by querying the OSM database with simple filters (for example missing tag "boundary=administrative", missing or incorrect value in "admin_level=*").
- layers with roads/street …
- Broken polygons↙
[7] - Polygons which present a problem for Nominatim. These 'broken' polygons could be where the interior of a multipolygon is disconnected or, where a polygon intersects itself.
- housenumbervalidator↙
housenumbervalidator checks addr:* attributes for duplicate addresses, incomplete addresses, and possibly incorrect street names. Results are displayed on a slippy map. Currently validation is performed for Germany and Austria only, as there are some language-specific checks.
Other similar address tools:
- OSMAddressCorrector Shows invalid or uncomplete Addresses
- Unvollständige Adressen Shows uncomplete Addresses "live" via Overpass API
- OSMI address layer
- Also see: #NoName Map.
- Maproulette aka Remap-a-Tron↙
Remap-a-Tron service, blog post and github – A customizable web application to crowd-source the fixing of specific mapping errors by randomly displaying an item of a specific type in potential need of fixing. Originally designed to highlight areas with ways deleted due to the license change, it is now expanding into a general front end for fixing identifiable problems. This service is also known as MapRoulette or maproulette.org.

[8] - Check Opening_hours, Service_times...
- So that is what inaccessible road is!↙
So that is what inaccessible road is! - displays the road segments, which for various reasons are inaccessible (they are also called "not route-able parts of the road network") on a map and allows editing in JOSM or Potlatch.
- Routino error log↙
Routino a router for OSM data can generate an error log file (when run with the --errorlog option) that lists problems found that could be data errors or Routino's limited understanding of the data and which may affect the ability to calculate valid routes. Since the purpose of the Routino error log is to find data that causes problems for Routino it does not mean that all reported items are data errors.
- Bicycle tags map↙
Bicycle tags map is a web map that shows bicycle related tags. The goal of this web map with bicycle tags is rendering bicycle related tags that are not (properly) rendered on OSM's 'Mapnik' map or on the cyclemap version. It can be handy for detecting errors in OSM.
- Administrative Grenzen in OSM↙
A map that compiles all the german boundaries within OSM and also visualizes errors (unclosed multipolygones) http://ags.misterboo.de

Heho is a small town in Kalaw Township, Taunggyi District, Shan State of Myanmar (formerly Burma). It is the primary air gateway to tourist areas such as Inle Lake. Heho is connected by NH4 to Sakangyi and Taunggyi, the capital of the Shan State in the east. A dirt road northwest from Heho leads to the old silver-lead mines of Maw Son (Baw Zaing). Heho was a small village of Danu people. The village grew into a town in the 1920s when the single-line railway line was extended from Aungban to Shwenyaung, and Heho was determined to be a convenient intermediate stop and transfer point. Later an airport was built, 4 km (2.5 mi) northwest of the town. The airport served as an airbase both for the Allies and the Japanese during World War II. The airbase was heavily bombed by the Allies. Evidence of aircraft bunker revetments and bomb craters can still be seen on the southern end of the airfield, especially noticeable from the air. |

Born John Nicholas Cassavetes on Dec. 9, 1929, in New York City, he was the son of Greek immigrants Nicholas John and Katherine Cassavetes. As a young boy, John spent most of the first seven years of his childhood in his parents' homeland after they returned to Greece for an extended period. Although he barely spoke a word of English upon his family's return, the outgoing boy eventually excelled in both academic and extra-curricular activities while attending schools in Long Island and New Jersey. Following high school graduation, he dabbled with the idea of studying literature at Colgate College; however, Cassavetes - a devoted film enthusiast - eventually enrolled at New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which he graduated in 1950. Although his parents initially blanched at his decision to pursue acting, Cassavetes' talent and determination soon earned their support. In addition to work with various theater companies, he picked up his first film credits with minor parts in productions like the noir "Fourteen Hours" (1951) and the romantic drama "Taxi" (1953). That same year, Cassavetes gained valuable experience as a stage manager and standby performer in the Broadway production of the farce "The Fifth Season." Television soon provided the motivated young actor with an exceptional opportunity to hone his screen craft through dozens of appearances in such anthology series as "Kraft Theatre" (NBC, 1947-1958) and "Armstrong Circle Theatre" (NBC, 1950-57; CBS, 1957-1963).
Cassavetes married Gena Rowlands in 1954, a talented young actress he had met while both attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. If not his muse, Rowlands would most certainly become Cassavetes' most ardent supporter and constant collaborator as he moved from actor to filmmaker over the years that followed. Soon after, his career picked up traction with back-to-back turns in a pair of B-movies. Cassavetes played an accomplice of Vince Edwards in the home invasion thriller "The Night Holds Terror" (1955), then a juvenile delinquent opposite Sal Mineo in director Don Siegel's "Crime in the Streets" (1956). Using his newfound name recognition as a draw, he taught acting classes for a time in 1956 at an experimental drama workshop with long-time friend and actor Burt Lane. By all accounts, the mercurial Cassavetes' contribution and attendance was erratic and unreliable, to say the least. Part of the problem was that he was becoming more and more in demand, with larger roles in relatively prominent films coming his way. A case in point was Cassavetes' starring role opposite Sidney Poitier in Martin Ritt's waterfront drama "Edge of the City" (1957), a ground-breaking portrait of interracial bonding in the face of violent intolerance. Another factor pulling Cassavetes away from his duties at the drama workshop was his decision to produce, write and direct a film of his own. It would be an arduous journey, filled with optimistic starts and heartbreaking stops over the three years that followed.
Desperately in need of cash to complete his unfinished film, Cassavetes reluctantly took on his one and only starring role in a television series. As "Johnny Staccato" (NBC, 1959-1960), he played a piano-playing private eye working the jazz-soaked haunts of New York's Greenwich Village. Although well-received by several critics, the stylized crime drama was canceled within its first season. Cassavetes was glad to get out of the commitment. Still, the experience had not been a complete loss. In addition to securing the money needed to complete his own project, it did provide the actor with some of his first official directorial credits. Begun in 1957, reshot almost entirely two years later, and largely inspired by his experience on "Edge of the City," Cassavetes at last unveiled his feature directorial debut, "Shadows" (1959). Shot on 16-mm on location in New York in a loose, cinéma vérité style, "Shadows" not only marked a turning point in Cassavetes' career, but began a new era in American film. The story of racial identity and relationships within a small African-American family, "Shadows" was short on plot or traditional cinematic conventions. Rather, it was an exploration of character and the human condition in a highly collaborative effort between Cassavetes and his ensemble. While the film garnered scant attention at the box office and more than its share of detractors, it did win a number of awards at the Venice International Film Festival. "Shadows" also brought the filmmaker to the attention of several studio executives, always on the look out for new talent.
Given a modest budget by Paramount Pictures, Cassavetes was given the green light to write, direct and produce "Too Late Blues" (1961), a drama about a jazz trumpeter (Bobby Darin) struggling with concerns over career, artistic integrity and a beautiful young singer (Stella Stevens). Though he endeavored to make a personal, low-budget film, the novice director soon learned that his artistic intentions and the studio's concerns were not compatible. Savaged by most critics, "Too Late Blues" proved a valuable early lesson for Cassavetes in his future dealings with the establishment. He gave it another try after being convinced by director-producer Stanley Kramer to take the helm of a project at United Artists. A social-drama about conflicting ideologies at an institution for the mentally disabled, "A Child Is Waiting" (1962) starred Burt Lancaster and Judy Garland. From the beginning, it was clear that Cassavetes and Kramer - much like the conflict between Lancaster's and Garland's characters - had differing opinions on the material. As soon as shooting was completed, Kramer dismissed his young director and edited the picture to fit his vision. The frustrating experience and resulting film were bitter disappointments for Cassavetes, who vowed never to direct under studio constraints again.
Having relocated with Rowlands to Los Angeles in the early 1960s, Cassavetes took on work in several mainstream film and television projects, primarily for financial reasons, although the efforts did yield several of his more memorable acting roles. He played the intended target of "The Killers" (1964), based on the story by Ernest Hemingway. Later, Cassavetes gained considerable attention for his Academy Award-nominated turn in the man-on-a-mission classic "The Dirty Dozen" (1967), as well as his convincing performance as Mia Farrow's narcissistic actor-husband in director Roman Polanski's horror masterpiece, "Rosemary's Baby" (1968). All of the acting paychecks ultimately led to Cassavetes' second independently-produced film, "Faces" (1968). Cut from the same cloth as "Shadows," the film featured many of Cassavetes' de facto stock company - Rowlands and character actor Seymour Cassel among them - and was filmed in a similarly collaborative manner that allowed the actors to shape both their characters and the ultimate direction of the film. An examination of the disintegration of an unsatisfying marriage and an indictment of the shallowness of modern America, "Faces" earned Oscar nominations for both Cassel and actress Lynn Carlin, in addition to one for Cassavetes for original screenplay. It also cemented Cassavetes' growing reputation as one of the more unique voices in American cinema.
Cassavetes' next directorial effort was "Husbands" (1970), a story about three married men (Cassavetes, Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara) who embark on a wild jaunt to London while struggling to cope with the sudden death of a close friend. "Husbands" proved deeply divisive among critics, some of whom declared it one of the very best films of the year, while others dismissed it as a tedious failure. Cassavetes, however, was not interested in critical consensus, but in provoking discussion in his pursuit of artistic truth. In that endeavor, he succeeded. Having established momentum with his work as a director, he quickly followed with "Minnie and Moskowitz" (1971), a romantic duet starring Rowlands as a disillusioned museum curator pursued by Cassel's smitten parking lot attendant character. Financed with his own money, in addition to funds borrowed from Peter Falk, "A Woman Under the Influence" (1974) was a devastating portrait of a loving wife (Rowlands) whose increasingly erratic behavior forces her concerned husband (Falk) to contemplate having her committed. Unable to find a major distributor for the finished film, Cassavetes formed Faces International, which helped book the movie in any art house or film festival he could. Word of mouth built and soon "A Woman Under the Influence" was garnering near universal acclaim, eventually going on to earn Rowlands and director Cassavetes Oscar nominations. In the years that followed, many would see the film as the creative and critical peak of the filmmaker's career.
Taking inspiration from friend and supporter Martin Scorsese, Cassavetes wrote and directed the crime drama "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" (1976). Ben Gazzara starred as Cosmo Vittelli, a strip club owner and chronic gambler coerced into performing a mob hit. Gritty and gripping, the film performed poorly upon its initial release, only to be regarded as one of the filmmaker's best efforts years later. In a rare acting gig that was neither done for money nor as an appearance in one of his own films, Cassavetes co-starred with Falk in first-time director Elaine May's "Mikey and Nicky" (1976). A buddy movie in which ne'er-do-well Nicky (Cassavetes) enlists the help of his pal Mikey (Falk) in escaping the wrath of the mob, it became infamous for a battle between May and Paramount that ended with the over-budget film being pulled from theaters and shelved for a decade. Cassavetes went behind the camera once more to helm the psychological drama "Opening Night" (1977), in which Rowlands essayed the emotional collapse of a Broadway actress battling loneliness, alcoholism and the fear of growing old. For her emotionally raw performance, Rowlands won the Best Actress Award at the 28th Berlin International Film Festival.
One of Cassavetes' more accessible films was, without a doubt, the crime-drama "Gloria" (1980). The closest Cassavetes would ever come to directing a traditional action movie, the film again starred Rowlands as the eponymous, tough-as-nails heroine, who becomes the unexpected protector of a young boy targeted by the mob. A rare commercial hit for Cassavetes, it earned Rowlands another Oscar nomination, served as the inspiration for several similarly themed films, and spawned a literal remake starring Sharon Stone nearly two decades later. Although most of his acting jobs during this period were strictly as a hired gun, Cassavetes appeared to enjoy himself in writer-director Paul Mazursky's updating of Shakespeare's "Tempest" (1982), playing the Prospero role with manic relish. His 11th film as a director was the drama "Love Streams" (1984), an intimate examination of the enduring love between middle-aged siblings (Cassavetes and Rowlands) whose bond endures, even as their lives crumble around them. "Love Streams" would also be considered Cassavetes' last truly personal film by many admirers in the years that followed. Taken over by Cassavetes from the film's writer and original director, the lackluster comedy "Big Trouble" (1986) was a film Cassavetes essentially washed his hands of after the studio began making changes he disagreed with.
Tempestuous, combative and unpredictable, Cassavetes' multitude of public shenanigans on and off the set had for years led to speculation about his drinking. Those that knew him best knew he had been a severe alcoholic for some time, a fact seemingly contradicted by his voluminous creative output. Just prior to starting production on "Love Streams," Cassavetes had been diagnosed with severe cirrhosis of the liver and given six months to life. In true Cassavetes form, he defied expectations and lived years past his predicted demise. Nonetheless, the disease was taking its toll on him and by the late-1980s, Cassavetes' condition had grown extremely fragile. Refusing to give in, he managed to write and produce a play in Los Angeles and was working on a film project with actor Sean Penn, tentatively titled "DeLovely," just prior to his death on Feb. 3, 1989. John Cassavetes was 59 years old. In addition to his remarkable body of work as a filmmaker and his better known acting roles, Cassavetes' legacy was furthered by his wife, Rowlands, and the three children he left behind. Nick Cassavetes would become an established filmmaker in his own right, bringing his father's unfinished final project to light as he had intended in the form of the film "She's So Lovely" (1997), starring Sean Penn. Daughter Alexandra "Xan" Cassavetes directed the acclaimed documentary "Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession" (2004), while youngest daughter Zoe wrote and directed the romantic drama "Broken English" (2007), which featured a supporting turn by Rowlands.

The Criterion Collection continues to bring us upgraded Blu-rays of their most popular titles. This month features two unique, exceptional, and highly unusual films. Peter Brook's Lord of the Flies was made back in 1963. At this point Brook was thoroughly established—thanks to his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden—but hardly the renowned genius that he would become with such productions as Marat/Sade (1964) and the legendary 1970 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. William Golding's astonishing 1954 novel was difficult to adapt into a film, and took quite a bit of doing (including several screenplays, including two from Peter Shaffer).
Brook wound up following the novel closely, and the results speak for themselves. The Blu-ray features a new, restored digital transfer supervised by Gerald Feil (co-editor, co-cameraman and associate producer); audio commentary by Brook, producer Lewis Allen, and others; a deleted scene; a 2008 interview with Brook; a 1980 interview with Golding; and "Living Lord of the Flies," a new piece composed of footage shot by the actors during production.
Criterion also gives us a Blu-ray of Gabriel Axel's unforgettable Babette's Feast, the 1987 film which enjoyed international acclaim and managed to become the first Danish movie to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The tale of two pious sisters and their housekeeper in a small village in late 19th century Denmark, this is a film to be watched repeatedly and—like the feast cooked by the housekeeper—savored. The new digital restoration only enhances it. Bonus features include new interviews with director/writer Axel and Stéphane Audran, who played Babette; a 1995 documentary on Karen Blixen (AKA Isak Dinesen)—who wrote the original story—which was published in the Ladies Home Journal in 1950 and is reprinted in the booklet; and a new set of English subtitles.

My Niece the drunken cock tease (another unexpected chapter)
Authors note: When I first wrote about Debbie and her constant teasing, I thought that the night I got my revenge and fucked her pussy and came down her throat, was basically the end of the story. We continued seeing Debbie and her husband for several more years, and she continued her groping and teasing, but another opportunity to fuck her never came along. All I had was a lot of instances of tight balls and jerking off to the thoughts of ejaculating in Debbie's mouth that evening so long ago.
A new and unexpected chapter:
A few years after I fucked Debbie, my wife and I spilt up and she moved a thousand miles away, and because Debbie was her niece, I didn't see any of them until recently. My ex came back to town for a visit with the kids and Grandkids, and we all ended up gathering at a local bar to talk about old times. Because I had told my ex that she could stay at my house during her time in town, she ended up inviting Debbie and her husband to come to my house after leaving the bar. Debbie was pretty drunk, so I told them that they could crash at my place instead of trying to drive home, and they gladly accepted.
We put on music, had a few more drinks and got even more relaxed and uninhibited. While Debbie and her husband danced, my ex and I sat together on the sofa and she asked me if I remembered the time that Debbie had climbed into our bed and dry humped me. I said that I did remember, and had regrets all those years that I didn't fuck her that night. Of course I knew that I had indeed fucked her but no one else knew, including my ex.
My ex acted all shocked and surprised that I would want to fuck Debbie, so I told her that I had masturbated many times, thinking about doing just that.
"Oh, so now Debbie is your fantasy fuck eh"?
"You have no idea how many times she has groped my cock over the years, and she pretends that she doesn't remember".
"You are getting me hot talking like this".
"Are you still with your boyfriend back home"?
"No. That relationship has been over for a while".
"So why are you telling me about getting hot"?
"You mean that you would turn me down if I offered myself to you"?
"You know me well enough to understand that I would never turn down sex, but we were talking about Debbie; not about you".
"Should I be offended"?
"No. I would really enjoy one of your famous blowjobs and then fuck you silly. It's just that I have that memory of Debbie humping me and I can't get it out of my head".
"How would you feel if I sucked your cock right here, while they are dancing"?
"That would be great as long as they didn't get offended and leave".
"You never know. They might join in".
"Are you serious, or are you just yanking my chain"?
"I feel like yanking more than your chain".
My ex leaned into me on the sofa and kissed me, while sliding her hand into my crotch. I was already rock hard from the discussion, and I kissed her back and reached for her tits. As I got my other hand into her crotch, I felt heat emanating from her pussy, so I knew that she was really horny. My ex began sliding lower towards my lap and because I thought that she might be getting ready to blow me, I glanced over to where Debbie and her husband were. I couldn't see them, so I turned the other way and saw that they were in the loveseat at the other end of the room.
I guess they had become turned on watching us, since Debbie was bobbing her head up and down in her husband's lap. I was fixated as I watched his cock slide in and out of her mouth, so I put my hands on my ex-wife's head and directed her mouth towards my erection. She had my pants and underwear at my ankles in an instant and first I could feel her hot breath and then her tongue licking at my cock head. There is something very erotic about watching your cock head glisten with pre-cum, as an enthusiastic mouth approaches.
Debbie's husband knew that I had watched them, so as my ex licked at my cock, he grinned and gave me the thumbs up sign. As much as I was fascinated at the thoughts of watching Debbie suck her husband's cock, I couldn't ignore the mouth and tongue that were bringing my cock closer and closer to orgasm. I reached for my ex's face and began thrusting into her mouth. I was rather loud as I said that I was cumming in her mouth, so Debbie's husband also screamed out that Debbie was swallowing his cum.
I guess at this point there was no reason to be shy, so my Ex and I completely disrobed and I placed her on top of me and told her to ride me. I made sure that I was positioned on the carpeted floor, so that I could still see Debbie and her husband.
"Holy shit. Are you still hard enough to fuck after cumming in her mouth"? Debbie's husband obviously wasn't ready for more sex, so he was asking me how I could be ready so soon.
"I'm ready to go again. I guess I'm just a really horny guy".
Debbie was trying to get herself impaled on her husband's cock, but it was way too limp. Obviously she wanted to get laid and was a little annoyed at her husband, so she stood and threw off the rest of her clothes, and headed in our direction. Watching Debbie walk naked towards me got my cock got even harder and it started throbbing, and yet I knew that this could get really ugly, considering how much everyone had to drink.
My wife had straddled me and got my cock fully into her pussy, but because she was facing away from the other two, she didn't see Debbie approaching. As she rocked and humped on my cock, I knew that I wouldn't last long, especially since I had the added stimulation of looking at Debbie naked. I was a little distracted, trying to watch Debbie's husband to see what he was going to do about Debbie. I knew that I had to do something so I blurted out "come and get her before this gets out of hand".
"No. Let's just see how far she takes this".
"Look, we have all had a lot to drink and I don't want this to get ugly, so please come over here and take Debbie back with you".
By now, my ex was getting worried, so she lifted herself off of me, and stood looking at Debbie. Before I could get up, Debbie tried to straddle me, and what happened next really shocked me. My ex quickly went over to Debbie's husband and kneeled between his legs. I stared as she sucked his limp cock into her mouth, and soon she had him erect and pumping in and out of her mouth. He was no longer watching me and Debbie, so I figured that I may as well let things develop. Debbie straddled me to impale herself on my cock, but I managed to push her further down so that her mouth was lined up with my cock. She knew what I wanted so she knelt between my legs and sucked my cock into her mouth. I watched as Debbie licked and sucked, and I couldn't help looking over at my ex bobbing up and down, as she sucked his cock.
"Do me a favour and don't cum in her mouth. I have to sleep with her and I don't want to smell you're cum all night"
As if that was all he had to worry about. I guess he has resigned himself to having Debbie suck someone else's cock right in front of him, so I decided at that point that I was going to enjoy this. I manoeuvred Debbie into a 69 position and we began lapping at each other. I licked and sucked her clit into my mouth, as both of my hands held her beautiful tits, and as I tweaked her nipples, I felt her mouth release my cock.
She screamed that she was cumming and asked me to keep sucking hard on her clit. I knew she was cumming since her thighs clamped my head, and her juices flowed into my mouth and down my chin. I figured that if she resumed sucking on my cock, I might blow and be unable to fuck her pussy, so I mounted Debbie in the missionary position and would be able to lie against her beautiful mounds as I fucked her.
One last glance over at the ex to be sure everything was still peaceful, and there were no worries, since she had straddled him and she was grinding and gyrating on his cock. He looked as if he had no interest in what Debbie was doing, so I buried myself up to my balls in Debbie's pussy, and began slowly humping. Debbie wrapped her legs around me and clawed at my back with her nails. She was moaning and writhing around underneath me and appeared to be nearing orgasm. That spurred me to increase the pace of my thrusts, and as my balls slapped off of her ass, I heard:
"Oh fuck. I'm cumming again. Pound my pussy with that big hard cock".
As soon as I heard those words leave Debbie's mouth, I had a gut feeling that it might set off her husband. My ex must have had the same feeling because she screamed that she was cumming on the best cock that she had ever ridden.
"Your big cock is so beautiful in my pussy, and I want to feel your cum filling my insides".
It must have worked because he began thrusting upwards and he blew his load into her as she continued screaming and moaning. What my ex had just done probably saved this evening from turning into a disaster and I had a new found respect for her.
All four of us were now collapsed on the floor, and it was pretty obvious that we all needed some sleep. I suggested that we head upstairs, and everyone agreed. When we got to the bedrooms, Debbie and her husband headed into their room, and my ex asked if she should sleep with me or find another room. I took her hand and led her into my bedroom, and told her that I wasn't done with her yet. I have to admit that the prospect of entering her pussy, which was full of another man's cum, wasn't all that appealing. Mind you, I didn't think that I had anything left in the tank, so it probably didn't matter.
My cock was pretty limp, so I pulled her down to lay beside me to cuddle. I whispered to her that I would wake her up in a while and as she drifted off to sleep, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of trouble all of this would cause tomorrow, when everyone was sober. About an hour later, I woke up with a throbbing boner thinking about Debbie's pussy, but in reality I had been shook awake by Debbie as she crawled into my bed. This was d? vu all over again, as I thought back to many years ago when she had crawled in and dry humped me. My ex was still sleeping, so I faced the dilemma of what to do. Was her husband still awake? What would my ex do if she woke up while I was fucking Debbie?
After the events so far, how much worse could things get? I decided to thrust my throbbing cock up into Debbie's pussy, and the ride began. She rode me like a bucking bronco and eventually I knew it would awaken the ex. Debbie was having an orgasm, since I could feel contractions in her pussy walls sucking at my cock. As I was about to unload into Debbie, my ex got up on one elbow and said to me: "I guess your fantasy has been fulfilled". That interrupted my impending orgasm, so I said that she could join in if she wanted.
"How am I supposed to join in"?
"You could sit on my face and I could suck your pussy until you came in my mouth".
The problem with that suggestion was that Debbie had cum already and was basically collapsed on my chest.
"Hey you know what? I have always wanted to see you eat pussy, so why don't we both do Debbie? She is obviously passed out, and won't remember anything in the morning anyway".
"Why would you want to see me eat Debbie's pussy? I'm not a lesbian, and she is my niece".
"I know that. It's just another fantasy that I have had for many years".
"If it will make you happy, I guess I can try it".
I decided to get innovative, so I lay on my back and placed Debbie on top of me lying on her back. That gave me great access to her tits and I could also look down as my ex ate her pussy. I massaged those beautiful tits and tweaked her nipples with my fingers as my ex crawled between our legs. There was no indication of Debbie being awake, so I asked my ex to get started. I didn't realize that this was going to be a doubly pleasing fantasy, since my ex could not only eat Debbie's pussy, but my cock was also sticking up between Debbie's thighs and was easily accessible to be sucked. The ex figured that out in a hurry and she alternated between licking Debbie's pussy, and licking my balls and cock.
"Maybe we should pay her back tonight for all the teasing over the years. What do you think"?
"I'm not sure what you mean".
"Well you said that she has been your fantasy fuck for years now, so maybe you should fuck her in the bum, and see if she remembers that in the morning. She can't deny a sore asshole".
"That's a great idea. Why don't you lick her good, so that she is well lubed to take my cock in her bum"?
My cock was ready to burst at the prospect of fucking Debbie in the ass. As my ex licked Debbie from clit to bum hole, there was still no movement. My ex took my cock head and placed it at the entrance to Debbie's anal opening. I pushed my cock upwards, as the ex held it in position, but she was too tight and needed more lubrication. My ex moved my cock and licked Debbie's anal opening again, but this time she inserted her tongue and let a lot of spit dribble into the opening. When my ex took my cock and placed the head at Debbie's slickened anal opening, the head popped in and Debbie uttered a slight moan. Now that my cock head was in, my ex refocused her efforts on sucking Debbie's clit.
As my cock inched its way into Debbie's bum, her moaning grew louder and she began to push her ass down towards my cock. It was obvious that my ex was enjoying herself, since her sucking and slurping sounds grew louder. I was nearing the point of no return, and my ex sensed that I was about to cum, so she took one of her fingers, spit on it and then inserted it into my anal opening. The finger was barely in when my spasms began, and streams of ejaculate shot up into Debbie's rectum. Debbie was also in spasm, and was moaned as she came. The ex sucked hard on Debbie's clit, until she couldn't stand it anymore and clamped her thighs together.
Finally I had fucked all of Debbie's holes, thanks to my ex, and I felt very appreciative towards her.
"How would you like me to make you feel good now"?
"I am totally exhausted and sexually satisfied, so why don't we figure out what to do with Debbie, and then get some sleep".
I tried to get Debbie on her feet, but needed help from the ex, since she was basically dead weight. She didn't seem to be able to stand on her own, so we took her back to her room and helped her into bed. Her husband didn't wake up, so we quietly crept out of the room and back to our bed. We were both asleep within minutes, as we cuddled and spooned.
When I woke up, it was about ten o'clock and I was alone in bed. I began thinking about last night, and although my cock was rock hard while reminiscing, I also was very apprehensive about facing Debbie and her husband. I could smell breakfast cooking, and since I was really hungry, I decided to head downstairs to face whatever lay in store. When I got to the kitchen, Debbie and my ex were cooking bacon and eggs and were talking as if nothing unusual happened last night. Debbie's husband was at the table and said to me that last night was a real hoot, and that we should do it again sometime.
As we all ate breakfast, there were no words spoken about the sex last night, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. When Debbie and her husband left for home, he whispered to me that my ex was a great fuck. I told my ex what he had whispered and she responded: "Of course I'm a great fuck. Get into the shower with me and when we get out, I'll show you just how great a fuck I am".
By the end of the day, my cock was pretty sore, but since the ex was leaving early the next morning, my cock would have plenty of time to recover. That day was the last that I ever saw of Debbie and her husband, and I suspect that her husband couldn't face me anymore, knowing that I had fucked his wife. It's a shame really, but at least I will always have that memory of my ex eating Debbie's pussy as I fucked Debbie's bum. I guess her husband would really be pissed if he knew about that!
The End

In some sick way I really liked this story. At least for once everyone was legal.
I love most of Quigleys work. although the Females are sometimes too young. After all this is fiction.

Thanks for your stories. I'm guessing that Debbie has DID, otherwise known as Multiple Personality. It manifests in many different levels. My ex was such. She didn't have names or voices, but more so how she dealt with things. Often it comes from being molested at a young age. My ex wouldn't remember what happened the next day when she drank, if it was a lot. Also, when she drank, she was unpredictable.

See just what it takes to maneuver 560 horses as they're unleashed on BMW's track in Spartanburg, SC
The BMW M display at this year's 2012 Paris auto show featured the latest M models to be released – the F10 M5 and F12 M6 coupe. What you see is the 2013 M6 in Sakhir Orange, its launch color. The 2013 M5 wears Frozen Grey, a BMW Individual color which looked excellent under the show lights. Also on display was the M5/M6′s monster 560hp V8 twin turbo S63Tu engine.
Most of you have read about the M5, M6 and S63Tu specs repeated times already, but for reference or as a refresher, see the official info threads linked inside.
PP-Performance share with us their latest numbers achieved on their Project F10 M5. They have managed to achieve 639.7hp 824.7Nm on the 2013 M5 with the PP-Performance ECU software remap tune for the S63Tu engine, modified downpipes, mufflers by Manhart Racing, and GruppeM carbon fiber air intake system.
Check out the dyno graphs inside.
We provide you an update on the BMW M5 and M6 oil pump issue, including a preview of recall process and details. There is also a VIN number list for you to check your M5/M6 against to see if you are affected.
BMW has issued a delivery stop order on all 2013 M5 and M6 (coupe and convertible). The issue stems from a potential problem with the engine oil pump on certain S63Tu engine equipped cars. Vehicles equipped with an affected pump could experience a sudden loss of oil pressure which will result in engine damage.
BMW is recommending current M5 and M6 owners not drive the vehicle. Stay tuned for updates.
CNET, the all-things-tech focused website reviews the 2013 BMW M5 (F10), with a focus on what else – its technology.
24 F10 M5s were delivered on Saturday, September 1 via European Delivery at the BMW Welt. 22 of the deliveries were to M5POST members and BMW TV was on hand to cover this remarkable delivery day.
Check out their video featuring many of our members and lucky new M5 owners.
BMW M cars may have staked their reputation on their handling and overall performance package, but with the forced induction trend of the latest M models, they've become quite the straight-line monsters.
The 2013 F10 M5 with its S63Tu engine is rated at 560hp from the factory, but dynos have confirmed that this is a significantly underrated power figure. This has now also been borne out at the track.
M5POST member 2013awm5 took his M5 to the track and produced a very impressive quarter mile top run time of 11.78 @ 119mph! This was achieved with launch control and no modifications to the car. The car was bone stock including factory tires and air pressures. All runs done in comfort suspension setting, … CONTINUED
On this episode of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman pits the 2013 BMW M5 against the 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS in an epic super sedan showdown. The battle begins in California's Mojave desert with a classic quarter-mile drag race. Then Jonny takes both V-8 powered sports saloons up to Big Bear, California to find out which one carves up the winding mountain roads the best.

Eating disorders are characterized by a relentless preoccupation with the experience of the body that interferes with functioning and is manifested by unhealthy behaviors and attitudes toward food and weight.
People who are struggling with these disorders often suffer from feelings of shame, sadness, powerlessness, and anxiety regarding their behaviors and their bodies.
It is important to recognize that while a fear of weight gain is seemingly the driving force behind many eating disorder symptoms, upon closer inspection such fears are a means to an end: a desire for prediction and control, a strategy to calm emotions, distraction from painful experiences, or a means to cope with difficult life circumstances.
Determining whether you have these problems is the first step. Treatment involves both learning how to manage the symptoms themselves, figuring out how the symptoms help the individual to cope, and learning alternative ways to cope that are more effective.
People are told they have an eating disorder when they have several of these features. However, the more we learn about these disorders, the more we realize that meeting all the criteria is not what is important.
People who only have some of these features are often experiencing as much unhappiness and distress as someone who has all of them. Ask yourself if any of these features bother you or interfere with your life (happiness, job, school, relationships) or interferes with the life of the person with whom you are concerned.
The individual has an unhealthy relationship with food. Food is supposed to nourish our bodies. We need food to live.
When eating becomes a source of guilt, shame, or fear, then this relationship has become unhealthy. Eating should be one of many activities in an individual's life. When an individual is preoccupied with food, this relationship is unhealthy.
An unhealthy relationship with food takes many forms:
The individual has an unhealthy relationship with his or her body. This may take one or all of the following forms:
The individual engages in unhealthy weight regulation practices. Rather than viewing food and eating as nourishment essential to life, people with eating disorders are often not comfortable with the act of eating and may engage in unhealthy behaviors in an effort to reduce this guilt. These behaviors may include:

USDA shows worsening crop conditions again
Between drought and flooding, 11 percent of the nation's corn is in poor or worse condition, according to the USDA's latest "Crop Progress" report, up from 9 percent last week. Soybean conditions, however, remain unchanged.
Corn in Kansas and Colorado continue to struggle the most in the report, with 30 percent and 25 percent of corn in poor to very poor condition, respectively.
Drought in Kansas caused corn conditions in poor or worse conditions to jump by 8 percentage points this week, the largest increase reported. Seventy-nine percent of corn in the state is in drought, and with little moisture in the forecast, it's unlikely that relief will be felt soon.
Other states are fighting an entirely different problem – too much rain. In Iowa, where 14 percent of corn is in poor to very poor condition, the issue has been an overflow of moisture. Over the past 60 days, Iowa has seen between 90 and 150 percent of its normal rainfall.
Corn is still progressing, despite differing weather woes. Forty-three percent of the corn has silked, more than double last week's report. However, this is still behind the five-year average of 56 percent.
Overall, soybeans appear to be faring better than corn. Eight percent is in poor or worse condition, unchanged from last week. Drought is playing the biggest role in soybean conditions in Kansas and Nebraska.
Forty-six percent of soybeans are blooming and 8 percent are setting pods, each 13 and 11 percentage points below the five-year average.

If it is GMO corn and soy I hope it all dies!!
Why is someone with such a negative attitude about the way farmers do things reading a crop report story? She is obviously ill informed on the subject and too narrow minded to learn the facts.
Jim from Minn. I wonder what Mary Mullen thinks when she sits down to eat her next meal. Maybe she should a month in Africa where people are dying each from the lack of food. Then she might develope an appreciation for what the american farmer does for us.
I am not criticizing the American Farmer. What I am against is GMO corn and soy. I own my own farm and grow my own organic vegetables etc.

What are your favorite songs, albums, or musicians in general with anti-religious messages?
Some of my favorites include "Glory Hallelujah" by Frank Turner and the entire new Quiet Company album "We Are All Where We Belong."
If you disagree with me or if you have a contribution/suggestion, post below!
I'm really looking for some new music powered by freethought! Thanks!
I was gonna say Imagine. Its my ringtone when my mum rings.
I'm a Metal fan and just started getting into Slayer. They have 11 studio albums and all have something anti-religious about them. Two of their albums--"God Hates Us All" and "Christ Illusion"--are dead giveaways.
Judith, A Perfect Circle
Personal Jesus, Depeche Mode
Hand that Feeds, NIN
There's many more, but those come to mind.
"Imagine" - by John Lennon
"I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
I'd have to go with "Judith" by A Perfect Circle. It's such a great song, and there is no subtlety to it;s anti-religious message.
Lennon's "Imagine," comes to mind immediately. Sorry it's not new, but it's still great. Cee-Lo, not so much.
"Dear God" by XTC and "No Heaven" by DJ Champion are also great songs.
love a couple mentioned already, Imagine and Dear God.
Not my favorite but a good song if you like bluesy guitar is No Faith Required by Snowy White and the White Flames.
Here are my recommendations, and just a song of each of them, though they have many more with anti-religious message, especially the first band:
Punk - Bad Religion (God Song)
Indusrial - Nine Inch Nails (Heresy)
Progressive Metal - Tool (Opiate), Karnivool (Set Fire To The Hive)
Progressive Rock - Dredg (I Don't Know), Porcupine Tree(Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled)

Making eggs more affordable
In operation the Matthews' printers require about 50% less maintenance than HVR's more costly ink-jet systems primarily because the printhead doesn't clog up says Ron Stevens maintenance manager at San Jacinto. And because warm-up periods are no longer necessary like they were with the other printers the plant incurs less downtime on the printers.
Each printhead can mark one or two lines of characters sized from 1¼8" up to 13¼16" and different ink colors can be used Stevens says. The three units are small and portable and there is no need for solvent cleaning because the ink doesn't require additives. Although HVR doesn't use bar codes for these packages these printers will accommodate bar codes if customers begin to require them.
"Finally ink consumption on these units has been reduced by far" Petersen says and the ink used in the Jet-a-Marks costs less than the ink for the other jet printers. Adds Stevens: "These units are much easier to operate for our people."

Whistler's Basket
For those looking for the secret to the exquisite beauty of our re-claimed teakwood furniture the answer is simple. All it takes is the time and touch of Mother Nature. Antique Farm implements, yokes, plows ,sugarcane grinders and wagons from a bygone era provide the framework for the interpretations you see in our furniture today. For many years this wood was not available to the public. Only recently has this vintage prized wood come to market. Soon demand will exceed supply and the vintage collection you see in its purity today will be reduced to accents of varying degree.

After intense public pressure, the Maharashtra state government last week dropped the charge of sedition against Indian cartoonist Aseem Trivedi. However, Trivedi still faces other charges as his case resumes tomorrow at the Bombay High court.
The 25-year old cartoonist, who was arrested on September 8, could have been sentenced to life imprisonment if convicted of sedition. He still faces up to three years in prison for other charges including violation of the Prevention of Insult to National Honour Act and Information Technology Act, his lawyer Vijay Hiremath told CPJ by e-mail.
This week, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh marked his 80th birthday. He spent the day, Wednesday, in the company of family and at public events, according to news reports. "There are no celebrations. He prefers to be with his family in the morning--then work as usual," Singh's spokesman told the media.
Although it is the world's largest democracy, India has retained its colonial-era sedition law. But with a national debate ensuing after the arrest of 25-year-old political cartoonist Aseem Trivedi on the antiquated sedition charge and others, members of the Indian government have been forced to do some soul-searching.
New York, September 10, 2012--Indian authorities should immediately drop all of the charges against cartoonist Aseem Trivedi and release him from detention, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Police in Maharashtra state arrested Trivedi, a 25-year-old freelancer from India's central Uttar Pradesh state, on Saturday, according to news reports. The cartoonist faces charges of sedition, violating Internet security laws, and insulting national honor for publishing cartoons mocking national symbols and criticizing corruption on his website, Cartoons Against Corruption, news reports said.
The case of a cartoonist charged with treason and offending India's national sentiments reflects a growing debate over what constitutes freedom of expression in India. His accusers argue that while it is permissible to make fun of politicians, you cannot make fun of the state. Not everyone agrees.
