Baharak to Faizabad
An Azan is being called, breaking dawn in the small town of Baharak. The chaikhanas guests all follow the summoning to the nearby mosque for their first of 5 daily worships leaving me all alone to do a bit of worshiping myself Getting a good sleep! Now half dosing, One by one they filter back in sitting up cross-legged waiting for breakfast to be served. Some have brought back French fries and fruit from the bazaar but most only afford the 30 Afghanis ($0.60) for a jug of tea and a freshly baked Nan. As they can now all see that I am clearly not a Muslim having not followed the call. A few ask questions over breakfast and even though I say I am neither a Muslim or Christian their hospitality and respect not once wavers.
Two men who I had not noticed before come and sit down close to me, They sit just close enough to make it uncomfortable; they look to be in their late 40s with hardened faces and un kept beards. They introduce themselves as We are from Vaduj! my heart skips a beat, knowing that this area has a very large Taliban populous. They ask me through simple hand movements and the few words known between us if I am going to Vaduj, I respond Vaduj? Neh neh, Vaduj Taliban... problem They agree Vaduj has many Taliban and is a problem for me; by now I was thinking to myself are these guys Taliban? They definitely carried themselves differently to the other guests and had a real presence when they spoke. (They then proceeded to make me recite from the first pillar of Islam)
La Elah Ela ALLAH Muhammad Rasool ALLAH
There is no god but god and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God"
Time and time again and then a few more times for good measure after that. A younger man approaches and basically from what I gather from his tone of voice and arm actions, he tells them to piss off and stop their preaching to the Tourist. He speaks very good English as it turns out and is studying in Kabul. The 2 preachers standup and as they do they tell me one last thing, that is now translated word for word.
If you can recite what you have leant to the Taliban, You will have no problem. If you cant
they then make a gesture with their hands cutting across their throat. The other guests see this and are yelling and arguing with the 2, they retreat back to their far corner now having made my stay feel just a little awkward.
I take an extra breath and pack my bags before heading off to the police station for the Ural. I thank the police with a box of cigarettes that I was carrying for when I planned to cross back over the border. Wont be needing them anymore. Bags on and I ride down to fuel up, the Ural is running roughly with a poor idle. I ride back through the bazaar and spot a truck yard. I ride in and find a quiet spot to work on the bike. By the time I have my tools out ready to remove the points cover I have my audience once again looking over my shoulder. It is the points that has loosened from the rough riding the previous day I gather and go about starting the engine and slowly rotating it around until I find a sweet spot, turning off the engine before tightening as best as possible and a recheck once more after that.
I thought I had found a quiet spot where I could work alone on the Ural.
Riding down to Faizabad the road follows the Kokcha river passing through many rural villages on the way. Theres a bit of traffic now on the road, creating a lot of dust for me as they overtake before making emergency braking maneuvers to avoid the next pot holes that inevitably come up. The valley narrows the closer I come to Faizabad with locals trout fishing the rapids with just a long supple branch with some line tied to the end of it. The trout caught being offered for sale on the roadside, they look good, perhaps 1.5kg (3.5-4lb).
Nice morning ride to Faizabad.
On arrival in to Faizabad I ride through the old town bazaar, its very busy with traffic, pedestrians and animals. First impressions are not what I had imagined either. Its a largely Tajik town so I had envisioned something similar to Khorog but of course without the Beer but instead it was hot, dirty and very loud & busy. I follow the heavy traffic across the bridge still not having seen one guesthouse, Now completely passing through the new town without still seeing anything I turn around and decide to ride through the new towns neighborhood. I spot a Stencil painted Kokcha on a wall down the street Kokcha was the name of a hotel I was told to stay at from when I was back in Eshkashem. I follow the signs through the new district to find the hotel on the banks of the Kokcha river. Its a secure hotel meaning they have a heavy steel gate with armed guards; razor wire and security cameras top the high walls. I knock on the heavy steel gate and hearing footsteps scuffling on the other side a latch is pulled aside at eye level to see whos knocking. A few words of Farsi are spoken to me, I give them my own reply in English, the latch is closed and the scuffles disappear. They reappear minutes later with another, the latch once again is slid across the eyes different from before sizing me up then I am asked in English what Im doing here and what I want. The large gate is slid open allowing me to enter.
The young manager, Jamshed is dressed all in a fine white traditional dress in what I assume to be a very expensive cotton. He tells me it is 70$/ night. I had heard contractors Guesthouses were expensive but I wasnt quite ready for that one. I open up my wallet and I count, I have $80 with a bunch of Afghanis left. Im still a few days to my destination 2-3 but was wishing to stay a couple of nights here to check out the place. I figured, I would at least need 60$ just for fuel. I mention I need to go to the atm thats located here, He informs me there is no atm in Faizabad that takes Visa, He calls a contact to confirm this. He sees that I cant afford his hotel but goes on to tell me that I am a guest in his country and so I should not worry about money and I am helped to my 5* room once my bags are checked by the guards. He apologizes for the delay in opening the gate as his security guard thought I was trouble being covered in dirt and looking as rough as a local. Its the first western style hot shower I have had since Khorog and I use it to wash most of my clothes too, hanging them up on the window and door frames to dry while I sleep the afternoon away.
An explosion wakes me up, it vibrates through the hotel and I run to my 3
story open window half expecting to see some kind of smoke at least Nothing, not one siren or scream either, its a bit of a mystery really and so I quickly forget about it. Its getting late in the day now so I decide on going for a short walk around the hill slums to get a better picture of how people live here before its too late. Winding up through the slums, kites are dancing in the sky, their young pilots equally dancing about on the rooftops of their home. Most kites are made from old plastic bags and light sticks with strong cotton to control them. The highest kite flying is king, many below are tangled in power lines that droop from one home to the next.
Faizabadi Slumdog.
Walking out back down the hill to the bazaar for dinner I walk past an armored wall with fortified turrets and a large boom gate at the entrance, I gather its the police station but I keep on walking, A policeman begins to follow me and shouts out at me shortly after. I am taken to the entrance where they look at every page in my passport and question every visa, which they get the same answer for each Tourist Still not being satisfied that I am in fact just a tourist they escort me back down the hill to Kokcha Hotel with everyone in the street looking on, Jamshed is there to confirm what I have told them and goes on to tell the police man my story. Being satisfied he relaxes and lets me leave for a dinner of Manti and lime juice in the bazaar.

Here's some pictures showing the real world performance of a pair of
LR4 Quad Cree XM-L U2 flood lights
at 1000 feet. Compared to similar quad Cree XML lights, the LR4 has less light scatter and close in glare, and more range. The reflector design throws a beam like that of a high end flood flashlight; tight beam in the middle for range, with a secondary flood beam for a wide field of view.
Bike was in turnout on right side of road on center stand. Camera was on tripod on the left side of road. 1st tree is at 750 feet, second tree is at 1000 feet. Bike GPS was reset at the farthest tree out and ridden back and turned around where we took the pictures:
Note: you can click on the pictures on drop box to zoom in to full size.
First shot is stock FJR (H4) low beams with +80 Halogens:
This is stock FJR (H4) highbeams, +80% halogens:
This is low beams plus 2 LR4 floods:
In other news, WynPro has designed let brackets for the Gen2 FJR, more info here:
LR4 installed on FJR with WynPro Brackets:
We are also working on developing a quality, low cost, rotary dimmer that can be used with our LED lights (and just about any other LED that does not have it's own built in dimming circuitry). We opted for the rotary design as it's simple, and does not require the use of a RF dongle that can be lost or have a dead battery. There will be a high beam over-ride on the dimmed setting. At first it will be available in a single 7 amp channel. Once we are happy with the results, we'll expand to a dual channel as well, with independent over-rides, to control multiple lights with there own settings (for example, you could set your left light to 0% with low beams, and your right to 20% - or control multiple sets of lights). We'll post up more details as they become available.

160 New Species Discovered on a Single MountaintopNew species are being discovered all the time, but you probably thought it was only a few a year, or if not, just a bunch of fish as we slowly explore more and more of the oceans. A squid and razor toothed hellfish here and there every year or so-- right?Not exactly.Back in October, some researchers discovered 160 new species all at once on a mountain in Borneo. And some of them are damn scary, like this moth that appears to have two snakes on its back:

An Atom Smasher Creates a New Kind of MatterThere are three states of matter that everyone is taught about in high school: solid, liquid, and gas, and somewhere along the way, we learn that plasma is that weird fourth one that you weren't smart enough to hear about yet in fifth grade.But there are actually a couple more states of matter than that, such as superfluids, which will climb out of their containers like they are characters in the Matrix. But despite there being more states of matter than you might have previously thought, we don't exactly stumble on new ones all the time, which was why is was so weird when scientists working on the Large Hedron Collider slammed some atoms together and produced an entirely new statePictured: Science.It's called color-glass condensate, and it's similar to a liquid but actually a wave of gluons. The particles in this state move in the same direction and in unison, even though there can be a great distance between them. The only thing we really know is that it might have something to do with quantum entanglement, which makes that sort of thing theoretically possible. But the general consensus from the scientific community was: what the hell?

Voyager is Rapidly Approaching the HeliopauseInterstellar travel is the stuff of science fiction, and no one is foolish enough to envision humanity reaching for the stars any time soon. Except that's definitely happening. Right nowNASA launched Voyager 1 all the way back in 1977, and it has long since gone beyond the orbit of Pluto and recently entered an area of the solar system called the heliosheath, where the effects of the solar wind are significantly lessened. Sometime in the near future, (it could be tomorrow or three years from now since we actually have no idea how big the solar system is) Voyager 1 is going to reach the heliosheath (essentially the edge of the solar system) and pass through, entering interstellar space. When this happens, humanity will have officially become interstellar beings, which is a pretty big step for us, to say the least.
With every day that passes and Voyager doesn't break through, we learn that the solar system is much larger than we ever anticipated. Hopefully it reaches the edge, and we can learn just how huge it really is before the fuel runs out and Voyager 1 becomes a glorifies toaster, floating uselessly in space billions of miles from home.

Strobe Light Goggles Can Improve MemoryWhat are flashing lights good for beside raves and inducing epileptic seizures If you guessed "improving your memory," that's an oddly specific guess, but also correct. We'll just file this experiment under "how the hell did you eve thing of doing this?" but some scientists at Duke University decided to test some people playing catch while wearing goggles that simulated strobe lights:What did the test reveal? These goggles strongly short term memory capabilities. The were much better at memorizing test information up to a full day after the experiment. This is because playing catch with your vision rapidly coming in and out, you have to actively remember the situation.There's no word on whether or not there is any significant long term improvement, but it's being looked into as we speak.

A Robot Finger Better at Feeling Than YoursWhat's one of the few things that sets robots and humans apart? Touch is one of the only senses that they can't replicate, right? Right? If you've gotten this far into this article, you know that the words "yes, that's exactly right" never follow me asking that question. Of course not. Robots can feel even better than us flesh sacks now.When it is run along a surface, a small microphone housed inside picks up vibrations and allows it to recognize textures. It can also register temperature differences and directional forces.It was able to correctly identify a texture from a pool of 117 with 95 percent accuracy, which is much better than the human hand.So they can already feel. When the robots start to love, they need to be destroyed.

Male Beluga Whales Can Imitate HumansBeluga whales kind of drew the evolutionary short straw. Apart from having a name that almost definitely got them picked on in high school, they also have a "I've been chasing parked cars" sort of face:A diver at the National Marine Mammal Foundation in California, who was in a beluga whale's tank, surfaced and asked who the hell told him to get out of the tank, but no one did. This was because the whale, named Noc, was doing vocalizations that were very similar to the human voice.This is something you just need to hear.It sounds more like a baby babbling than actual speech, but it's impressively close to the amplitude of human speech. And this isn't something that the whale just decided to do one day. He has to totally modify his vocal mechanics to "speak" this way. This sort of behavior cannot be anything other than learned speech. And apparently this is something other whales have done too. Another whale by the name of "Lagosi" was reported to be able to say his own name.

The View From Planet Kerth: With a well-fed dog, you'll never get lost again
Well, it's about time.
I never thought I would live to see it, but some scientists are finally breaking away from the herd of researchers obsessed with silly things like global climate change, genetically-enhanced food products, antibiotic-resistant bugs and the like. They're finally taking a scientific look at things that really matter in our everyday lives.
And here's the poop: According to a team of scientists in Germany, dogs of all breeds tend to align themselves along a north-south axis when they take a dump.
Forget about polar vortexes and melting glaciers — doggie dowsers are the real news! If you want a reliable GPS, look no further than your Growling Poop Squatter!
According to study co-author Sabine Begall, a biologist at the University of Duisburg-Essen (German for "dump after eating," I think), their research began a couple years ago when their examination of Google Earth aerial pictures revealed that "cattle align with the magnetic field lines" too. I have long suspected that sour cream is nothing more than misaligned milk, and although Begall didn't go so far as to confirm my suspicions, I expect that more research will prove me right. There's no telling what's going on with cottage cheese.
After her team figured out the cattle-compass thing, they moved on to foxes, which also prefer a north-south alignment while pouncing on a mouse, it turns out. Their study didn't explain which way the mice prefer to face as they wait to meet their muncher, but hey, they're only mice. What serious scientist would waste time on researching which way a mouse faces when it nibbles an oat?
And then, after studying foxes, it was only a small step to studying dogs. And after the scientists carefully watched their step around a gaggle of 70 dogs donating a total of 1,893 excretion events, the results were in.
And they found that when it comes to depositing doo-doo, north-south is definitely doggie style.
Of course, that all depends on a stable magnetic field. When the field shifts, such as during a lightning storm, all bets are off.
And I guess that makes sense. After all, if you had urgent gastric business to conduct and the skies threatened to light you up with a bolt before you had the chance to unbuckle your belt, how much time would you spend consulting the compass? It would be a let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may situation, right? Well, it turns out that dogs are no dopes when it comes to downloading their software under electrostatic duress, either.
But when magnetic conditions are optimal — as it was in 30 percent of the cases studied, according to the researchers — their aim is true. The researchers didn't explain why the earth's magnetic field is fouled up 70 percent of the time, but the dogs could probably tell you. Or those herds of climate scientists, who all point the same way no matter what the weather looks like outside.
The researchers also studied dogs' pee-pointing preference — a total of 5,582 events — but those results were a bit trickier. Although both male and female dogs do their number 2 the same way, they employ radically different styles when the urge to perform a number 1 comes over them. So while a squatting female will always spritz an in-line sprinkle, standing males aim on a three-legged perpendicular. And then there's that whole right-handed/left-handed thing that has to be factored in.
As a result, the authors write, the tinkle research is "currently under study," a science-jargon way of saying that results will probably trickle in later.
I trust the researchers will also break down the results to indicate which breeds are more tuned in to the magnetic fields, and which are less so. After all, the German team studied a total of 37 different breeds, so they must have some kind of extended doo-doo breakout work to do.
I'm hoping that dachshunds will win the north-south poo-pole pointing polka. For one thing, imagine the pride those German scientists would feel if a German breed would lead their fecal research, besting even the poodle or shih tzu, which would seem to have a leg up right from the first syllable. And it makes sense dachshunds would win, because they are built pretty close to the ground where the earth's magnetic field would be stronger. Besides, it would be nice to know that dachshunds have some practical reason that makes them worth anything at all.
Anyway, I'm glad that some scientists are finally breaking away from those sheep-headed researchers who keep bleating their gloom-and-doom findings about climate, nutrition, disease and the like. It takes heroism to swim against that tide. It's a breath of fresh air to finally have some real science hit the fan, and I can't wait to see how far it flies.
My hat is off to those German researchers. Imagine how proud their mothers must be when they get together with friends over coffee and krumkake and they are asked, "So, what exactly does your child do for a living?"

We spotted Keith Richards holding court among some younger women last night at Liv Tyler's cocktail party for the Hearts on Fire jewelry line at the Rose Bar. He'd dropped by to support his two daughters, Theodora and Alexandra, who were D.J.-ing. When asked if he could talk for a moment last night, the geriatric rock star replied, "What's a moment? A diamond is forever." And so we talked jewelry. He pointed at small silver handcuffs, made by friends, that he was wearing. "This is a reminder to never get arrested again," he said. "They're not real, they don't make them out of silver — I had them made."
Though his brushes with the law are the stuff of legend, Theodora later assured us that he's "very good at rules." What kind of rules? "No singing at the dinner table. We kind of overdid it back in the day." Alexandra countered: "No, I was always allowed to sing. I don't know what she's talking about. I was a bad singer." "Well, fathers give rules and she breaks them," said Theodora. "She breaks them, but I didn't." As a classic rock family, she told us, they were often singing songs by Ray Charles and Hollies. "It really wasn't my choice," she continued. "We were sperm. We were very victorious sperm. Did you know this? You made it to your mother's egg. So did I. So, we are all victorious sperm."

Hello 3D people, can anybody tell me why the hair on my Victoria 4.2 does not fit her head…
Which hair is it, and what type (.hr2 prop hair or .cr2 figure hair)? If it's prop hair it may be that its default fit is for another figure, and it needs a morph or pose applied to fit V4

Your trying to fit the Aldora hair that comes with DS4 to V4.2, that hair is meant for Genesis and doesn't "fit to" any of the older figures very well.
**shuffles of with a new headache**
Thanks Richard for answering my post. The hair I am using is Aldora Hair it works OK on Genesis but not on V4
Regards Tabian
Thanks Bejaymac, That says it all. I must go and buy some more hair. If it's good enough for Elton John is good enough for me…
By the way I love your dancing Avatar.
My best Tabian
You can export the aldora hair to OBJ and fit it to V4 after re-importing it. If you're going to invest anything, I'd invest in Generation X and the V4/M4 shapes for Genesis, that way you don't have to use V4, you can just go with Genesis, which is a far more advanced and all around better figure, and translate any character to it…
That's the path I took, and I think it's money better spent.

Thanks for the links Wancow, I'll see what Santa brings for me before I stick my hand into my pocket.
Take a look at this thread…
Many of the hair items in it are for Gen4 (V4, M4, etc) or have 'fit poses' for Gen4.

Just because something costs a lot, doesn't mean it's the best…
It just means it's expensive.
Most hair can be used on most figures with little trouble.
Right-click the hair, "Fit Aldora Hair to…"—> None
Right-click the hair again, "Change Aldora Hair Parent…"—> choose Victoria's head from the list
Et voila…

Thanks BF for the intel. I'll have a go at your method It seems like a quick inexpensive way of doing it.
PS how many posts do I have to make before I can display my Avatar
I see your avatar… it looks like a very creepy clown with red hair and a top hat… I have the very strange urge to buy him a beer….

A battle for the food and beverage contract at Pensacola International Airport is brewing between Mayor Ashton Hayward and the Pensacola City Council.
- Filed Under
Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward on Tuesday vetoed the Pensacola City Council's decision to extend the current concessions agreement at Pensacola International Airport with Robert de Varona.
The council had authorized the extension Thursday after the mayor pulled a recommendation that the council award a 10-year, multimillion-dollar contract for airport concessions to Missouri-based OHM Foods when de Varona's contract expires March 31.
The council initially rejected Hayward's recommendation of OHM in January. ...

Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Kugel

Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Kugel
This pumpkin kugel is so easy to make, and is perfect for Shabbat or the fall holidays. My guests always ask for the recipe because it tastes so good. This recipe doesn't use any oil or margarine, so it's low fat in addition to being delicious.
- Prep Time : 10 minutes min
- Cook Time : 45 minutes min
- Ready Time : 55 min
- 1 29 oz cans cooked pumpkin e.g., Libby's brand large can - NOT pumpkin pie filling
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1-1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup soy milk or non-dairy creamer
- dash ground cinnamon
Beat together in a large mixing bowl pumpkin, white and brown sugar, flour, salt and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and soy milk (or non-dairy creamer) together. Fold egg-milk mixture into the pumpkin mixture and blend thoroughly.
Pour into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

Where are the noodles?
Not all kugels have noodles in them. Notice the 1.5 cups of flour in the recipe, that provides structure for this kugel in lieu of noodles.;)
So delicious and so easy to make! Perfect for Rosh Hashanah! Thank you for the inspiration!
Best wishes,
The Brill-Silvermans
So glad you liked it, Leslie! L'shana tova!
How would I use fresh pumpkin in this recipe?
Thanks – and have a meaningful, but not difficult, fast. Shana Tova.
I've only ever used the canned pumpkin because it's so convenient but I think if you cooked and mashed the equivalent of 29 oz of pumpkin (and drained as much of the water off as possible before mixing it in), it should work fine.
Shana tova and g'mar chatima tova!
Can you use almond milk?
I would think so, but am not sure. It may not be as thick as the soymilk, so perhaps use a little less of it. If you try it, please come back here and let me know how it goes.
Can this recipe be halved without changing the outcome
Irene, the recipe I originally adapted this from used a smaller size can of pumpkin and I had adjusted the ingredients from that, so yes it should be fine if you halve it and use a smaller pan. I've played around with different combinations of amounts of eggs and flour, and it comes out well no matter what I've done to it.
Can the pumpkin kugel be made with matzo meal instead of flour for Passover?
Glenda, I haven't tried adapting it for Pesach. I think potato starch would be a better bet than matzah meal because it will be smoother. I have another recipe I make on Pesach for a similar kugel with butternut squash and it uses potato starch. I'm not sure of the substitution amounts, though.

I also think they have improved quite a bit. The thing most teams aren't faced with is going from Oklahoma State, to Oklahoma, to Iowa, to Minnesota, to Missouri, to Midlands, then get a little break and have ASU and Virginia Tech, then go back to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and now Cornell this Friday. Some of these guys are facing top 10 guys all the time.
Finch has had Rupp, Patterson(twice), McD, Sanders, Waters(twice), and Perrelli this Friday.
133 has had Oliver (twice), Ramos, Carter, Keller (twice), McCormick(twice), Thorn,
Goettl has had Maple (3 times already), Kindig (twice), Marion, Kremmerer, Niebert (twice), Dardanes.
This goes on up and down our whole lineup. I hate the home and home conference schedule, but many schools outside the Big 10 do not face that type of schedule week in and week out.

I heard of this place from DeviantArt (I'm theleaveshaveeyes there) so I thought, maybe I'd be good enough for this place.
I'm a digital black and white photographer. My main subjects are plants, cars, buildings and objects, though sometimes I photograph people and animals (cats and hamsters). My style revolves around creative angles and focus, usually involving close ups and macro shots.
I hope you enjoy!
My most popular peice on deviantArt.
"They Have Eyes Too"
Sorry for the dA watermark, I lost all the original copies of most of my photos so I have to link them from dA.
"The Depth of Death"
I took this one very recently, it's one of my favourites. It was one of the first photos I took with my new camera.
And finally, (just for now, I'll post a few more later)
"Moods of Winter"
I really enjoy this shot. It captures the feel of the cold winter.

Welcome! (concept art is the complete opposite of deviant art).. Enjoy it here! Its a ton better!
January 3rd, 2008 #3
indeed this is a scrabble site not an art one
could you not dl them off DA and reupload em here?
the focus on the leaf one seems a bit off composition wise the foreground seems to be in focus rather than the leaf
do you use the b+w in the camera or what method do you use to convert them? and what cam is it?
January 4th, 2008 #4
In the last two, I used my new Nikon D40 SLR camera and then later turned them to black and white using photoimpact.
I can't download things onto the computer I was using to post these.

My "The Three Emotive Phases" series.
This was a school project. At this point in time I was still stuck with my Coolpix L4, so I was little limited.
Emotive I: Despondency
Emotive II: Curiosity
Emotive III: Jollity
Model: Marcelle Ledoux
More of my favourite pieces.
"La Rue" Yes, I speak French, my mother is French and my father is Korean.
The composition isn't the best, but the contrast created by the sunset is really nice.
"The Thin Line"
Nobody on dA really cared for this one, but I like it, so to hell with them.
"The Long Road Ahead"
Another popular one on dA. I'm rather iffy to this one, I like the angle though. It makes it look like the Earth is rolling over.
An experimental piece, but I love the composition. I borrowed my dad's camera to do this one. A Sony Cybershot camera.

I like most of these, except jollity in the emotin series.
Myspace photo imo.
and her face makes me sad :|
otherise some good shots.
January 5th, 2008 #7
I like "Emotive III: Jollity" could use some more contrast on the figure though.
You have some nice tones in the landscape ones, just need to work on the compositions and angles; some of them make me a bit dizzy.
Keep shooting!

Mom, Please Help Me!byL.A. Wicker©
His hot seed shot deep into Carrie's excited pussy and it was over for her too. "Oh baby! My baby!" she screamed as the most powerful orgasm raced through her like there was fire in her veins. "It feels so good!" Carrie screamed as his cock pumped and pumped her tiny pussy full of his sperm.
A few minutes later she lifted her head and asked, "Why'd you call me Carrie? I kinda like it when you call me Mom," she smiled, enjoying him still hard and deep in her pussy.
"I thought it would be cool and besides, it wouldn't be right calling my new girl Mom when I take you out on dates," he replied flexing his cock, hoping she'd want to do it again. He was ready for more.
"I'm your new girl am I?"
"Fuck yes you are. The hell with all the little ones at school. They can all kiss my ass."
"What if other people see our playing around with each other? We could really get into trouble."
"Fuck them. I got the prettiest woman in town and I plan on showing off," he smiled, but deep, down Jake knew she was right.
"I've been tossing around the idea of moving. What do you think? We could move far away and if you're serious about us...we could even say we're...married," she smiled, hoping he'd like the idea as much as she did. It would be so wonderful not hiding their love for each other.
He thought about what she said. It did sound great. "That would be cool. As long as I'd have you, I wouldn't care," he smiled, wishing he could grab her in his arms and hug her.
"Good! When you get all this shit off, you're going to screw me to death, and then we're moving away!"
Well, that's it. You gotta use your imagination for the rest, but...if I get a lot of comments and feedback. I will think of doing one last part.

Too disjointed and incredible. Not even in a good fantastic way either.
Sweet loving mom turns into a dirty-talking slut fairly easily yet she still draws back from the edge after already going over the line in every other sense and it's cuz she's suddenly too moral againmore...
