She woke up at the end?? Talk about a heavy sleeper
dan After our little orgy my bf wont leave me alone, his hands are either feeling my tits or my ass at every oppertunity, not that im complaining. We got out of bed late this morning after a wild night of sex, my jaw aches from sucking his big cock and my pussy is sore from all the sucking and fucking it's had. I need someone to just cuddle me and kiss me right now and in a few hours i'll be ready to go again. love Claire XX

It was the best fuck I seen. That me like that. I am so wet in my pussy now. Grrrrrrrrrr
Hahah it taste like icecream
How can u not play with them lovely nipples
dan ( no dot after your name)! this is the real me. some guy obviously exited and thought he would join in !!! and cause mischief. My bf couldn't wait to get in the other girls knickers and i must admit the thought of watching him fuck another girl was a great turn on and soon i had a hand creeping up my thigh to rub my pussy. Soon all four of us were naked with cocks and pussies just waiting to be pleasured. before the night was out i had been licked and fucked by both guys and loved watching my bf with his new fuck mate. Back home i realized that my boyfriend was the best lover and he also has a bigger cock and he commented on how i was the better fuck so i don't think we will be repeating that again, not unless another couple want's some fun. XXX
dan Identity theft once agin as the above is not my comments
oh damn i would have loved to have been him watching you two...I saw my wife's friend suck her tits 2 times and it sent shock chills stright to my dick....Boom hard.....they did it 3 time stotal, but I NEVER GOT TO SEE HER SUCK HER FRIEND WHICH I would have LOVED but didn't...But she(the friend) got to see me both fuck her and suck her husband(my best friend) and she just fucking lost it with excitment watching me eat his dick and she couldn't take her eyes off of what I was doing to her man...She fingered herself to climax in 5 minutes watching....Love to you C, dan...What state do you live?
dan nice to see you again, had lots of fun since we last posted, spent last weekend in a gf's caravan with her and her bf. poor guy didn't know what hit him two randy girls sucking and fucking his big cock left him exhausted so we just played together girl on girl the last night im sure he loved to watch as he started to jack his own cockwhile we 69'd. XXX
C, I miss you too....Where can we talk privately on some blog or something.........They don't put lots of my post on and it fucking pisses me off....Thank you for being sweet...Dan
dan Sorry im too far away in the Uk but love to carry on reading your messages
I do love to talk to you C, what do you think about my last post?
dan. A gorgeous girlfriend, a fit young randy couple and me, all on a bed kissing each other led to touching and feeling one another and it wasn't long before tits and pussies were uncovered so we all undressed and I was shocked that the mouth sucking my hard cock was the other guy i'd been too busy sucking on the his wife's pussy to notice who was giving me head. I couldn't resist giving his cock a suck as the girls did an amazing 69. We fucked each others girls and then did three onto one with each other in turn. Wish I could have more nights like this. ...
C, interested? You always make my dick hard when you tell me about your stories, all of which believe to be true....Please tell me in detail how it progressed and how you felt as it went along... I know the feeling when my wife did things with M/F and especially if i were there to see it happen...Which I did one night as I drove on a country road and my wife and a good friend started kisssing and touching each other... MY dick almost burst with hardness but I STAYED COOL AND JUST WATCHED AS i DROVE THEM AROUND as theyKISSed AND HIS BIG UNCIRCUMsized dick in her hand...Later i stopped and asked her to suck him..She did but only for 2 minutes maybe and he really had the blue balls....Later that night I took him home after we took her home and I finished him off.........load and all in my mouth, then i went home and we fucked for swveral hours...Oh it was sooooooooooo hot, Dan
dan loved reading that dan, let me tell you about a babysitting experience some years back. Went with a bf to sit for a young couple, after a few minutes the couple got a phone call cancelling their night out. Stay said the girl we can have our own party as she put her hand on my knee, her husband smiled at us and asked if we had ever had an orgy. No but we would love too said my randy bf. The night was spent on their big bed, i'll tell you what happened another time if your interested

Chris from Sweden: how old are you? Like to taste your pussy with my tounge and let my cock slowly enter your pussy..
I wish I was her.... My husband never fucks me like that any more he used to but now i have to go and find it in bars..... any offers? xxx
she's a good solid fuck
dan and claire's conversation was more interesting than the video.
Tight Pussy...Always open for offers with fit women
dan..im missing you so much.
how cant she wear a thong she is hot
Efrin, are you married, or gf?...I tseems you have a bf as well...How often do you suck a guy?....Any other kind of sex..Sleepy, sorrry, Dan
dan...I prefer guys with natural un-cut cocks, it's great to pull back and uncover that sensitive head. Pulled back it's just like sucking a guy who's circumsised but more pleasurable for both guy's. I love cocks of all types as long as they are nice looking and the other guy knows how to handle both of us. The best part as always is the salty spunky cum to finish off with....Efrin
Efrin, I think you like a dick as much as I do....Still I love my wifes pussy(hairy) her ass hole(that I lick, also hairy) and her 36c tits also with some soft hair around her nipples...She lets it grow for me as she knows how it turns me on...But I do like salty warm cum too....I sucked a friend of mine(not the first time) two nights ago, for just a little while....Because my wife was coming soon I just pushed him down on ht ebed and he unsnapped his shorts and there it was......Not hard but still 4 inches and thick, but the best part was(I never have sucked him limber) his skin covered the head of hi sdick...Well I just sucked and played with the skin(rare in the USA) an dpulled it back and forth while sucking him....Well it was getting hard and the skin going down his growing shaft when we heard my wife coming.....It was fun....But short lived.....Tell me about guys that are uncircumsized and how do they like it sucked.....With the skin pulled back or covering the head??????I've heard there lots of nerve endings there.......Dan
dan If you have sex with another guy or guy's the one thing thats really important is cock quality, i don't mean that it's got to be hugh or anything like that but it must be hard and capable of delivering a good load of cum. I love girls but also fit guy's for their cocks and tasty sperm.
dan, I have a very broadminded gf and casual guy's for gay fun a few times a month. Went out on a lads night out and had to take one guy home with me as he was quite the worse for drink. Back at mine he wanted to pee so I took him to the bathroom, removed his pants and held his cock while he peed, nice cock. Got him onto the bed with just his T shirt on and I undressed and we fell asleep. The following morning I awoke and my cock was being stroked, what happened next I'll tell you later
Oh shit Efrin, I can't wait......That happened to me actually twice in college....Except I was the one that would up holding my buddie's dicks....Different guys and different times.... The first one was my roomate and bedmate, that one night we were drunk, I guess, and he was asleep, I guess...I just slid my hand into his shorts and played with his dick, and it started getting and got hard...I just held it for some time and I wanted to suck it but just didn't know how he would react......But it was big and hard and felt good maybe bec it was much bigger than mine.....6 to his 8 and thicker....Later my best friend and I were again kinda drunk and had a motel room after our dates...He was asleep and I did the same thing to him...Same results with a hard.....I know now he would have loved for me to have sucked it because I have sucked it since and he loved it...He didn't want to suck mine and I really didn't care about that.....What I have always wondered if they knew I was doing it and acting asleep or not....I have wondered if a guy really asleep would get hard if he were asleep and someone playing with it..Both got hard quick...
dan... A lot of questions here. Yes I have had the pleasure again with my new friend, It wasn't as intense but stil 10/10. Neither of us are circumsized, Im glad as the bell end is more sensitive as it's been protected from constant rubbing against clothes etc.I dought guy's can get hard when asleep unless they are having a wet type dream. I think the guys are pretending to be asleep and enjoying the attention
Efrin, damn what a hot story...My dick is hard because of thinking about you taking his load in your mouth....Have you and he gotten together since that encounter? Oh and is he circumsized? and you? I have seen pix of some guys that when limber their skin covers all and more of their head...and others that seem not to cover the head when limber...And I have seen some when hard still has some skin over the head and some so tight you can't tell they have any skin(like me)................Enlighten me, as I know most english guys aren't cut.... Also Efrin, what do you think went on when I stroked my 2 buddy's dicks...Were they asleep when their dicks got rock hard, or were they just playing possum and enjoying my hand holding their dick......I want to know what you think....I know we wake up with a hard lots of mornings, but this wasn't a morning hard....They both grew hard while i held and stroked them....I think if a guy is fully asleep, no amount of touching will make him hard, because your brain is asleeep also...Tell me what you think please, Dan
dan... To continue, I looked at my new found friend and saw a magnificent Hugh hard cock that I just couldn'rt resist rubbing. we both needed to pee and went to the bathroom but it's neigh imposible to pee with a raging hard-on so I suggested we get under the running shower but that didn't help and as I said i'm about to cum he knelt down and took my load in his mouth.I then did the same, we kissed and as our cocks relaxed we were able to pee on one another. Showed each other and returned to bed for the rest of the morning. Great fun.
no kidding but he has a nice dick
Wow Dan that is a great story and reminds me of an impromtu session when I was at college. I became friends with another student and one evening called on him to borrow some books but when I arrived at his room he had another guy in there and they were half dressed and looked a bit embarrassed but soon started to relax and asked if I had a girl friend, no I replied and they asked if I would like to join them, somewhat stunned I stuttered a yes and they led me into the bedroom, Soon we were all naked with big hard cocks and sucking each others dicks and balls. It wasn't long before we all shot our loads in what was one of my most memorable sex orgies with other guys.Love guys but also love pussy. ...Efrin.
Dan, I can have a decent conversation... But how decent is it gonna get? I'm just here 2 watch porn and get wet, not to have conversations. XD
Dan...I know what you mean. Take a look at my comments on some of the other sites.
is there anyone reading this that can have a decent conversation
Horny Sluuuuuuut - I'm here and ready for you!
Efrin, I willl look and thanks..... Dutch Girl, I love to watch the fucking and sucking too....It makes my dick hard...You can see from above I am open minded...Are you? do you hav ea husband, bf or gf? what in real life makes you cum when you think hard enough...Talk to me girl
Dan. You seem to be the master story teller here so please enlighten and amaze everyone with some more of your sensational cock sucking tales...
Dude has an annoying lisp....
Remember, Hilife, as I have said, they are TRUE, or they would not turn me on to tell them....Once when I was in Knoxville, my "new" cars homanical balancer broke and while waiting for a cab, a young UT college guy rode by me standing on the corner and made eye contact, as I did to him..He circled the block and stopper the nex ttime and asked if I needed a ride. I was proberly 35 then and really fit, so he knew i wasn't trash, but I was a little drunk...It was like 1 am......I got in his car and he hadn't gone one block and he asked me what I was into? I just said anything, and with that his hand jumped into my lap and he rubbing my dick....I said to him, where can we go and he said he knew a place...It was behind a post office and had a private lawn out back...He produced a blanket and we lay on it and touched each other....Then to my suprise he leaned down and kissed me and his tongue slid into my mouth....Well, being my first guy kiss i kissed him back and for like 10 minutes, we french kissed...I twas so different to me but I liked it....Then we stood up and stripped and held each other's dicks...His being somewhat larger than mine....Maybe 6 vs 7 1/2 and he was thicker and get this, not circumsized...I had never touched one before and the skin amazed me and I played with it to learn about it....He then leaned down and sucked my tits and I almost lost it damn I went wildish.....Then he dropped to his knees an dtook my 6 in his mouth, and I said let's lay down.....there he worked his majic on me, until I was about to cum, and pulled away....I said to him lay back, and I did the same to him, tits then his big dick.....I made love to that thing for about 20 minutes until be erupted in my mouth..His cum was salty, slimmy, and warm, and lots of it...After he cooled down, he said ok your turn and he sucked me fast, slow and some with the head in his mouth, and that was where he was when I couldn't hold back any longer......He too took my cum and it went down after he held it in his mouth a minute or so....We dressed, not talking, and he took me back to the corner for the cab stand. I asked him to come to my hotel room but he had a test the next day, so he couldn't...I have often wondered what would happened if it had been a friday night, or he didn't have a test...Oh my I think we would have sucked all night.......It was fun.....Dan
Hilife, thank you......Are you a male or female and are you bi either way......I am, and I love to just find a guy that loves to be made to feel good and cum and I can help him.....I don't make up stories....They are from years of being there, doing them..Some may be off color to some, but to me it's what you like..I am NOT gay and I have a beautiful wife that has always loved to have a hard dick in her pussy or mouth....She doesn't know all of my other life.....But she has sucked a friends tit 3 times so she's had some bi fun...Her friend wanted to eat each other but she wouldn't go that far...I wish she had.....Talk to me and let's keeep learning each other...I live in the USA, Dan
Im an experienced baby sitter
How experienced are you at baby sitting? I'd love to hear some of your stories but only if they are true.....We only speak the truth here..... Efrin, thank you for your help....I'm pleased that you agree with me on "sleeping hards"..Claire, what do you think about the subject?....Have you ever touched a guys dick while he was asleep, and what did it do, get hard or stay limp?...Efrin, this wasn't a wet dream, as they started to grow as soon as my hand started moving on their dicks...Both times it was the same..Instant growing to rock hard....Down deep I hope they knew I was playing with them, which I was...It's like playing or sucking a guy in a golry hole vidio store...You don't know him, and he doesn't know you...Except in this case we knew each other but he didn't know that I wasn't asleep touching his dick(although I expect they knew I was awake) and they acted like they were asleep, so that it like didn't happen...But it did and I loved it and apparently they did too.....Oh I wanted to suck both of them but couldn't bring myself to do it......I did actually suck the second one twice later on in a few years, once with his wife watching and she was going wild watching me suck her husbands dick......Comments anyone?, Dan
Jeez Claire...you are such a hottie...would love to get to know you more! Gotta go to work, but maybe when i get back..
dan So many questions dan. I think the black guy was about 10 inches long, kissing him was normal as he wasn't a negro but sucking his big dick was a jaw acher. He was a lovely dark brown guy and He didnt go balls deep but produced a hell of a lot of cum. Yes I am bi and have several friends both male and female to enjoy sex with. Fucked a friend boyfriend but with her present. Im going to see a gf now. loveU XxX
Whats his name
C. where are you? And Efrin too..........Waiting and longing for you both, Dan
Yyummmmmm iwana sex now
C, I wrote you a note yesterday, and again "they" didn't include it in the post...I wonder if I'm too personal with my comments and not as much about the vidio...But dammit, how much can you say about the vidio..One or twp post and that's it....Shit like "what's her name, or his name, or I want that big dick in my pussy, or nice fuck, or he needs to wash his socks...........Damn, what could be more exciting than people telling true stories abput their love life?....I'm destressed, Dan
wOuld love someone to fuck me like that
I wanna suck a big dick right now. I wanna be fucked so hard that i'll have to cry, loved this video.
dan Dont stop your comments, they don't all get through they always deleat some. Anyway I hope i've answered some of your questions and I wish you where here now to fuck me, my pussies so wet and in need of a big cock like yours, all hard and wet ready to satisfy me XXXX
C, oh shit that was sooooooooo fucking hot...Loved it and I could just picture how you just happened up on a good thing....How big do yoou think he was? Did it feel funny having your lips both on his lips and his dick?...just how black was his skin? Could you take all of his dick? Oh damn I love the thought of your answers.Tell me how it all felt....I assume you are bi...Have you done lots with girls?..Have you ever fucked a friends hubby? I have, well I sucked her hubby, and fucked her 3 times, 2 regular and once in her ass....She asked me to do it.....Oh I love you, Dan
dan Im sitting here fingering my pussy.I have only ever had one black guy and that was at a party when I slipped into the bedroom to get something from my coat pocket which was with others on the bed, suddenly a girl ran out of the room and as I entered a fit naked black guy was pulling his trousers up. We chatted and he told me she changed her mind about a fuck when she saw his massive cock. Well I wasn't going to pass on this so I just said that I'd love to see his cock and wow it was big and I simply dropped to my knees and sucked it. Naturaly we both ended up naked and he fucked me like I'd never experienced before. Never saw the guy again and im still looking for another fit black guy. XXX
dan I think that has cleared things up nicely dan. Yes I have fucked a married man. I started having sex quite young with boys of my own age who would play with my tits and finger my pussy before fucking me. It was only after I got friendly with a man from work that I found true sexual satisfaction, a guy who took his time lovemaking and the first man to lick and suck my pussy before penetrating me with his big cock, he taught me to suck his cock and even the joy of sucking him off and there's more....love Claire xx
Oh I always want to know more...In the above case, being me, their close friend with their dick in my hand, I think they would have been embarrassment to them to let me know that they knew what I was doing....The stay asleep was so I would keep doing it, and no one had to ever acknowledge anything ever happened...I wanted more, like sucking each of them, but just couldn't bring myself to do it....Loooking back I should have done it and just said well I'm a little curious, that's why I sucked your dick last night....I have often wondered if I had would they still continued to possum....But I would say when the cum started, they would have to have had to admitt being awake..... Tell me some things that you have done....Have you fucked a married guy...My wife did and I will tell that also, Dan
dan I must admit that I am not really an experienced baby sitter but have done some with my boyfriend as its a good opportunity to get somewhere to fuck in private. I have played with a guys cock when he's asleep and they usualy wake up as they start to get hard, thats maybe just me rubbing too hard. I have had sex with guys when being taken home late at night after sitting, if you want to know more let me know,
dan I think guy's know you are feeling their dicks if they start to grow with the attention.
Claire, these oeople are apparently blocking my post from the blog....I have written several really long ones and I wont be able to keep writing post if they wont allow them to be posted....Sorry, Dan
To whom it may concern.....Please enter my recent post, so that we can keep our stories going, Dan
C my wife came in and I had to cut off of my last post.....I do so want to hear about some of your stories, and for some reason a white girl/black guy turns me on
Claire, I so want to talk to you.....I'm short on time now but later I want to hera about your past...

Anders Behring Breivik
Pool photo by Hakon Mosvold Larsen
Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian, killed 77 people in a bombing and a shooting rampage in Oslo and on Utoya Island, a summer camp for young political activists, on July 22, 2011.
Mr. Breivik, a right-wing extremist, admitted to the slayings in a court hearing shortly afterward, but denied criminal guilt, portraying the victims as "traitors" for embracing multiculturalism and Muslim immigration policies.
On Aug. 24, 2012, a Norwegian court sentenced Mr. Breivik to 21 years in prison after ruling that he had been sane at the time of the massacre. The sentence is the longest provided by Norwegian law; it can be extended if Mr. Breivik is later deemed to still be a menace to society.
His 10-week trial, which ended in June, centered on the question of his sanity. Defense lawyers argued that Mr. Breivik was sane when he bombed buildings in downtown Oslo, killing eight people, before killing 69 people at a summer youth camp run by the Labour Partyd, and should therefore be sentenced to prison. Prosecutors said that he was mentally ill, was not criminally responsible, and should be hospitalized instead.
Members of the defense team had evoked Mr. Breivik's human rights in their conclusion that he should be held accountable for his crimes. Mr. Breivik has said that the killings were committed in self-defense to combat what he has called the "Islamic colonization" of Europe. He has argued that an insanity judgment would detract from his cause.
"The defendant has a radical political project," said one of his lawyers. "To make his acts something pathological and sick deprives him of his right to take responsibility for his own actions."
A judge said that the decision reached by the five-member panel hearing the case had been unanimous. Reading from a 90-page judgment, she refuted Mr. Breivik's assertion that he acted as part of a network called the Knights Templar, saying there was no evidence to prove its existence. Mr. Breivik has said he was present when it was founded in London in 2002.
The bombing and shooting spree convulsed Norway, and the country's police chief was forced to resign in August 2012 after an independent commission found that the police could have averted or at least disrupted Mr. Breivik's plot.
Report Faults Police Response
The report by an independent commission also said the domestic intelligence service could have done more to track down Mr. Breivik while he conducted his shooting rampage, but stopped short of saying it could have stopped him.
While noting that the attacks "may be the most shocking and incomprehensible acts ever experienced in Norway," the 500-page report said the bombing "could have been prevented" if already adopted security measures had been implemented more effectively.
Mr. Breivik was able to park a van with a fertilizer bomb just outside the high-rise government headquarters building in Oslo before he drove another car to the Labor Party's youth camp on Utoya.
The 500-page report said that a car bomb "at the government complex and several coordinated attacks have been recurring scenarios in threat assessments as well as for safety analyses and exercise scenarios for many years."
Plans to close off the street in front of the government building were approved in 2010, but work on constructing physical barriers had not been completed and no temporary obstacles had been set up. A parking ban in the area was not strictly enforced.
The police response to the shooting spree was slowed down by a series of blunders, including flaws in communication systems and the breakdown of an overloaded boat carrying a police anti-terror unit. Meanwhile, Norway's only police helicopter was left unused, its crew on vacation.
Mr. Breivik attended the elite high school where the country's current king, Harald V, and his son once studied. Former classmates remembered him as quiet but intelligent, with a small rebellious streak: he was a prolific graffiti artist.
Former classmates and colleagues described him as unremarkable and easy to forget, qualities, perhaps inborn, that he cultivated — consciously, he would say — to mask his dedication to what he called his "martyrdom operation."
Once a schoolboy who was fond of hip-hop and had a Muslim best friend, in his 20s he began to view the immigrants who flowed freely into Norway and elsewhere in Europe as enemies, and those who sought to accommodate them as traitors, worthy only of execution.
For years, Mr. Breivik participated in debates in Internet forums on the dangers of Islam and immigration. It is not clear at what point he decided that violence was the solution to the ills he believed were tearing European civilization asunder. Before the attacks he was careful never to telegraph his intentions.
Early in life, Mr. Breivik, far from being a radical, appeared to be on a track to join Norway's political establishment. He grew up in Skoyen, a middle-class district of western Oslo. His father, a civil servant, and mother, a nurse, divorced when he was 1. Beyond that, his childhood seems to have been uneventful; Mr. Breivik said in his manifesto that it was happy.
Toward the end of high school, he joined the youth wing of the Progress Party, drawn to its anti-immigrant platform and market capitalist bent. But those who knew him from those days said that he failed to leave much of a mark.
He began to struggle with life, those who knew him said. He became estranged from his father, who moved to France. Then his sister, Elisabeth, on whom he seemed to rely in his father's absence, moved to the United States and married an American.
It was a time when, according to his manifesto, his political views began to transmute. He began to perceive what he said was the hostility of Muslim youth. He latched on to reports of attacks against ethnic Norwegian men and rapes of ethnic Norwegian women by immigrant gangs.
Mr. Breivik wrote that the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 was a tipping point for him, describing the operation meant to halt a genocide as a betrayal of a fellow Christian people for the sake of Muslims.
He spent the next decade slowly working out his plan, though few people, it seems, had any inkling of it.
To earn money for the attacks, he wrote that he had started a company that earned him millions. Neighbors cast doubt on this claim, however, saying that they thought he had inherited some money from relatives.
As he went about gathering six tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and turning aspirin powder into pure acetylsalicylic acid for his bomb, he led an active life online, railing against Muslims and Marxists in debate forums.
The police say he rented a farm in eastern Norway, not far from the capital, and holed up there for several months to prepare his bomb.
Breivik's Writings
A Facebook page and a Twitter account set up under his name days before the rampage suggest a conscious effort to construct a public persona and leave a legacy for others. Mr. Breivik cited philosophers like Machiavelli, Kant and John Stuart Mill. Although there did not appear to be calls for violence in his Internet postings, he hinted at his will to act in his lone Twitter post, paraphrasing Mill: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests."
In a 1,500-page manifesto, posted on the Web hours before the attacks, Mr. Breivik recorded a day-by-day diary of months of planning for the attacks, and claimed to be part of a small group that intended to "seize political and military control of Western European countries and implement a cultural conservative political agenda."
He predicted a conflagration that would kill or injure more than a million people, adding, "The time for dialogue is over. We gave peace a chance. The time for armed resistance has come."
Mr. Breivik's manifesto spells out plans for using anthrax as part of his war to defend Europe against what he called the rising threat of Muslim domination. But experts in biological weapons said the manifesto showed no evidence that he had actually obtained the lethal germ or could wield it as a weapon. They said the document — at least on the subject of germ attacks — evoked the air of an armchair theorist rather than someone poised to commit mass slaughter.
The manifesto was signed Andrew Berwick, an Anglicized version of his name. The manifesto, entitled "2083: A European Declaration of Independence," equates liberalism and multiculturalism with "cultural Marxism," which the document says is destroying European Christian civilization.
The document also describes a secret meeting in London in April 2002 to reconstitute the Knights Templar, a Crusader military order. It says the meeting was attended by nine representatives of eight European countries, evidently including Mr. Breivik, with an additional three members unable to attend, including a "European-American."
A Well-Organized Attack
One thing is certain: the killings pointed to a meticulous and well-organized attack on Norway's current and future political elite. Police said that after Mr. Breivik exploded a car bomb outside government offices in downtown Oslo, he then traveled to Utoya Island, a wooded retreat sponsored by Norway's Liberal Party, located about 19 miles northwest of Oslo. He went to the camp, which is accessible only by boat, dressed as a police officer. Once there, he said he had come to check on the security of the young political campers. He then gathered them together and proceeded, coldly, to shoot them and then hunt down those who fled.
As soon as the shooting started, witnesses said, people panicked, running in all directions, tumbling down the island's rocky hill in an attempt to reach the sea. Even after many made it into the water, Mr. Breivik calmly and methodically shot at those who were swimming.
He was equipped, the police said, with an automatic rifle and a handgun; when the police finally got to the island, about 40 minutes after the shooting started, Mr. Breivik surrendered when they called out to him, dropping his weapons. The police said that they had difficulty reaching the island, which delayed their response.
Norway's prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, had been scheduled to speak to the campers; a former leader of Labor's youth wing, he had attended the camp every summer since 1974.
Fearful of Multiculturalism
To the consternation of many Norwegians, Mr. Breivik appears to have achieved at least one of his stated aims — a highly visible platform, with the eyes of the world upon him.
The authorities have described Mr. Breivik as a fundamentalist Christian, a gun-loving Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threat of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration to the cultural and patriotic values of his country.
Mr. Breivik's lawyer, Geir Lippestad, has described him as a "very cold" person who lived in his own world, buttressed by drugs and the belief that he was a warrior doomed to die for a cause that others did not comprehend. He said that his client called the killings "atrocious,'' but "necessary."
Depicted as a Loner
On the second day of the trial, Mr. Breivik described the deaths as "the most spectacular sophisticated political act in Europe since the Second World War" and said he would do it over again. He rejected an assessment by one psychiatrist that he suffered from a narcissistic personality disorder. "July 22 wasn't about me. July 22 was a suicide attack. I wasn't expecting to survive that day," he said.
On the third and fourth days of the trial, prosecutors pressed Mr. Breivik on his extremist affiliations. He insisted that he belonged to a "cell" within an organization with members across Europe. He sweated and equivocated through skeptical prosecutors' questioning about his trips to Liberia and London in 2002, during which he says he met a Serbian war criminal and was a founder of the organization the Knights Templar.
As prosecutors chipped away at the question of what happened on his travels, Mr. Breivik seemed to sense that they were seeking to portray him as a fantasist and a loner. But he refused to explain the trip, saying he did not want to expose other network members.
Prosecutors continued to depict Mr. Breivik as a friendless loser, rather than the founder of a shadowy terrorism group.
Contradictory Reports on Mental Health
Two court-ordered psychiatric reports had contradictory conclusions as to the question of Mr. Breivik's sanity.
The first court-ordered assessment of his mental health, submitted in November 2011, found him to be psychotic and a paranoid schizophrenic. The authors of the report said Mr. Breivik suffered a psychotic meltdown in 2006 when he lost money in a failed share deal, moved back in with his mother in western Oslo and began playing World of Warcraft, an online role-playing game, for 16 hours a day.
The report said his mental condition left him "emotionally flattened" and led to the delusion that he was a member of a pan-European militant network that had invested in him the right to choose who should live and die.
Mr. Breivik maintains that the militant network really exists, a contention that prosecutors said is absurd. Police interviews and their own cross-examination, they said, reveal someone who has substituted a myth for an unsatisfactory life story.
A second court-ordered mental health assessment, delivered in April 2012, found that Mr. Breivik was sane at the time of the attacks.
During the trial, by turns defiant, impassive and tearful, Mr. Breivik proclaimed that he acted in self-defense, bore no criminal guilt and rejected the authority of the court. He had previously denied criminal responsibility on the ground that he was protecting Norway against Islamic immigration.
In remarkable evidence played to a packed and shocked courtroom, recordings of cellphone calls made by the gunman to the police suggested that he tried twice to give himself up and simply went on killing in the absence of officers to accept his surrender. In the period after the first call to his final shot being fired, prosecutors said, 41 people died. There has been much questioning of why the police took more than an hour to reach the island after the gunman launched the attack.

Heimlich maneuver on conscious child
Choking is fairly common. Choking deaths occur most commonly in children less than 3 years old and in senior citizens, but can occur at any age. The Heimlich maneuver has been valuable in saving lives and can be administered by anyone who has learned the technique.

Simply Charming!
I didn't participate in the first round, but you can see the twist of this group -- you actually receive in the end a quilt made from fabrics that you yourself pick out! I liked the appeal of that concept, since I have a bunch of fabric that I love but tend to make stuff for someone else with ... now I can receive something in return from the very fabrics that I know I love!
I joined up in the second round of the swap, which was nicknamed the "Simply Charming" round. This time around, the fabric that was sent to our partners took the form of a single charm pack of fabric. LOVED this idea, since I am a big fan of charm packs!!
Even before being paired with Sara (who blogs at Just One More ...), I had already decided to dip into my Tula Pink stash and send one of my prized "Flutterby" charm packs. I've been hoarding this line and was so excited to finally see something made from it.
And here's what Sara made!:
Isn't it great? And the best part about the quilt is something that you really can't see in the pictures: Sara embellished the quilt with tiny little jeweled beads throughout that blend seamlessly into the colors and designs of the fabric. I tried to get a picture so that you might be able to see some of what she added:
It really has to be seen up close and in person to be appreciated. I consider myself VERY lucky to call this one mine. Thanks so much, Sara!
In return, Sara sent me a charm pack of the "Fig & Tree" line by Fig Tree Quilts to play with. I thought the small prints were perfect to be highlighted in this little "X" quilt that I put together:
Sorry ... I know these are dark pictures. I decided to go with a lot of white space on this one (off-white, actually), and I'm really happy with how it came out.
I had a pretty large cut of an older Fig Tree print that I thought worked well as a backing.
I hope you like it, Sara!

That is possibly the best swap I ever heard of.ReplyDelete
You guys were so lucky to be paired together- total gorgeousness!
That's a lovely idea for a swap. Love it!ReplyDelete
Great idea for a swap! I love both quilts!ReplyDelete
they are both gorgeous! that X quilt is going on my list!!! i LOVE it!!!ReplyDelete
Your x quilt is adorable. It is a great idea for a swap - you are more likely to like the end product since you picked out the fabric - but on the other hand, it may be hard to make a quilt with fabrics you don't know how to work with, or don't like.ReplyDelete
Hello and nice to meet you! I am new to your blog and I am in love with your creations!ReplyDelete
I love both of the quilts! I also love both of the fabric lines that you used.
Great job and I can't wait to see more!
Both quilts are fabulous!ReplyDelete
the flutterby quilt is beautiful! What a great way to use a charm pack!ReplyDelete

I've dated wrong guys, says Sophia Bush
American actress Sophia Bush, who got to know herself better by dating the wrong guys, says now she knows what she wants out of life.
She recently admitted her divorce from her former "One Tree Hill" co-star Chad Michael Murray in 2005 after five months of marriage was "unpleasant" and they no longer speak following rumours he cheated on her with hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
The "Chicago PD" star is currently dating Google program manager Dan Fredinburg, but admitted she doesn't always have the best judgement when it comes her love life, reports contactmusic.com.
"I've dated a couple of the wrong guys, but I've also had great love in my life. I think every woman on the earth has dated the wrong guy at some point," she said.
However, she now knows what she wants and isn't afraid to discuss her relationships in public.
"At the end of the day, I'm an open book. If I were looking at myself objectively, (I'd say) I'm a strong person and that can translate into a strong personality. I'll give all the space in the world to fairness, but I don't have any room for intolerance," she said.

NEWSWORTHY> Rest In Peace, Carroll Shelby
Yesterday, the automotive world lost one of its international legends – Carroll Shelby, the 89 year old creator of the world famous Shelby Cobra 427, and the Ford GT40 that beat Ferrari at Le Mans.
Shelby is one of those names in the automotive industry that everyone knows, but it's possible that some of our readers aren't familiar with his long and storied history, from his days in Formula One, Le Mans, and even land speed racing at Bonneville. Rather than quickly writing up a story about Carroll Shelby from the media center at the American Le Mans race at Laguna Seca, I think I'll just provide a link to a couple good articles on Shelby that I saw in the New York Times and USA Today before I have to get back to shooting on the track.

Region 1: EPA New England
Questions About Your Community: Residential Wood Combustion
Indoor and outdoor wood-burning appliances and fireplaces may emit large quantities of air pollutants. Research shows that breathing wood smoke is not healthy. Wood smoke contains hundreds of chemical compounds, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, organic gases, and fine particles (also known as particulate matter or PM). Even limited exposure to smoke can be harmful to human health, particularly to the health of children, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions. Fine particles (i.e., particles smaller than 10 microns or about 30 times smaller than a human hair), can aggravate heart or respiratory problems, such as asthma, in people of all ages. More information on health effects of exposure to wood emissions is available at the EPA website http://www.epa.gov/burnwise/
Are there regulations in place?
Wood burning is a significant contributor to air pollution in many urban and rural areas, and EPA (as well as states and many municipalities) have taken steps to reduce air pollution from this source.
For indoor wood-burning appliances, EPA has certification requirements that govern the manufacture and sale of certain units. Specifically, indoor free-standing wood stoves and fireplace inserts sold after July 1, 1992, must meet "phase 2" particulate emission limits of 4.1 g/hr for catalytic stoves and 7.5 g/hr for noncatalytic stoves. These requirements, however, do not cover indoor masonry fireplaces used for aesthetic purposes. In addition, EPA regulations do not prohibit the use of stoves manufactured before 1992, nor do they address permitting or installation of woodstoves. More information on wood stoves and fireplaces is available at the EPA website http://www.epa.gov/burnwise/ .
For outdoor wood-burning heaters, EPA recently developed a voluntary two-part strategy to reduce harmful emissions. These heaters (called outdoor wood-fired hydronic heaters (OWHHs), or "outdoor wood heaters," "outdoor wood boilers," (OWBs) or "outdoor furnaces") are mainly used by homeowners to heat houses, hot water, and swimming pools, and by businesses for operations such as greenhouses. The voluntary program includes an MOU between EPA and manufacturers to produce cleaner units (about 70% less emissions) by April 2007, new text for OWH labels and hang tags, as well as Owner's Manual text for unit operation and maintenance. For the second part of the strategy, EPA worked with The Clean Air Association of the Northeast States (NESCAUM) to develop a model rule that states, tribes and local authorities may elect to use, in whole or in part, if they choose to regulate outdoor wood-fired hydronic heaters. More information on OWHHs is available at the EPA website http://www.epa.gov/burnwise/.
In general, States and municipalities have lead roles in regulating wood-burning activities. Some states and municipalities have developed regulations or voluntary programs to address the fact that most stoves are still not EPA-certified and, in some cases, to prohibit use of woodstoves during certain air-quality conditions. Although most regulatory activity has occurred in the western part of the country, eastern states are increasing their focus on wood-burning activities. Until recently, the focus in New England has been on outdoor burning of trash and household waste, but New England states are increasing their focus on outdoor wood-fired heaters, which are almost always much worse polluters than woodstoves. In April 2007, Vermont became the first New England state to enact a regulation for outdoor wood heaters, and Maine is developing a similar regulation. Others may follow in the near future.
How can you reduce the impact of your fireplace or wood stove?
Equipment: Consider replacing an older wood-burning appliances with a new, efficient, EPA-certified wood or pellet stove, or install a catalytic combustor (just like the one in your car's exhaust system) on your existing stove. EPA-certified stoves are easy to identify because they carry a special label and hang tag. Because these stoves are cleaner burning, you will need to clean your chimney or stove pipe less often, and will reduce the probability of a chimney fire. A list of EPA-certified wood stoves and fireplace inserts is available at http://www.epa.gov/Compliance/resources/publications/monitoring/index.html.
If you are considering purchasing an OWHH, be aware that these heaters commonly produce excessive amounts of smoke and can negatively impact nearby residences. A list of cleaner burning OWHHs is available at http://www.epa.gov/burnwise/.
Operation: The way you operate your wood-burning appliance affects its efficiency and, in turn, the amount of pollution and creosote created. Smoldering fires give off much more pollution than small, hotter fires. To encourage a cleaner burning fire, use wood that has been split and dried for at least six months. Be aware that you shouldn't burn garbage, trash, or treated woods such as plywood or pressure-treated wood as these materials contain chemicals that, when burned and inhaled, are hazardous to your health. More information on how to burn wood efficiently and safely is available at the EPA websites http://www.epa.gov/woodstoves/efficiently.html and http://www.epa.gov/woodheaters/bestpractices.htm
Who should you contact if you have questions?
Most problems with wood smoke are addressed at the state or local level, so you should contact your state environmental agency and your municipal offices, such as the Fire Department and Board of Health) to find out what wood-burning regulations, ordinances, and bylaws may apply in your area. For example, the Fire Department may have requirements for residents to register woodstoves or to conduct periodic inspections. As mentioned above, some New England states have developed (Vermont) or are developing (Maine) regulations for outdoor wood heaters and others may follow in the near future.
