The two beautiful men have been indulging their lust and exploring their raw masculinity in an intense scene of sexual discovery in the California desert. The leather stud, Randy: a dark, powerful demon, his sinewy muscles rippling as he penetrates his victim. The cop, Mark: a blond god, his muscular, golden body flexing as he offers up his ass for the first time ever.
Previously, they had stopped for gas at a run-down gas station where they met the exotic looking young mechanic, Pablo. But Mark can't shake the uneasy feeling that something is wrong there.
'I had a real uneasy feeling about that place,' Mark said. 'Something wasn't right . didn'™t smell right, if you know what I mean.'
'Right, I hear you. You wanna go and check it out, don't you?'
'Yeah. I have one of those cop hunches.'
'You got it man. Let's hit it.'
* * *
A heavy silence hung over the gas station as they walked up. Mark paused, then said softly, 'Take a look around back. I'll check out the inside.'
What Mark finds in the repair shop is staggering. The car hoist had been raised to its highest level. Tied to it, his arms raised high and wide, was the young guy, Pablo. His dungarees hung round his waist and his bare chest was marked with red welts. He was gagging on a filthy rag jammed into his mouth, his eyes wide with terror.
Standing before him, his back to Mark, was a huge, burly bear of a guy in grease-stained jeans and T-shirt, and he was holding a belt in his hand.
'You fucking faggot. I paid big bucks for you and you turn out to be a lousy cock sucker. Well, pretty boy, this is what happens to freaks like you.'
Mark overpowers the thug but they are not alone..
* * *
Out of the corner of his eye Mark saw Pablo's head nodding frantically, his eyes wide open. But it was too late. Mark felt his arms grabbed from behind on either side and locked in a vice-like grip. The older guy recovered himself and croaked out, 'That's it boys. Hold him tight.'
He came up to Mark and, grabbing his hair, pulled his head back. The ugly bearded face came close. 'I want you to meet my two sons, you shithead. You made a real mistake coming in here. Now they're gonna hold you while I have my fun. Hey, it's a long time since I worked over a good-looking guy like you. Think you're a hot-shot stud, don't ya? Well that face ain't gonna look so pretty when I'm finished with you.'
And he raised his belt and brought it crashing down. In a split-second reflex Mark jerked his head to the side and the belt missed his face, thudding onto his shoulder. The man took aim
'NO!' For a few seconds it felt like an earthquake as the door crashed open and Randy howled, hurling himself across the room. He crashed into the backs of the two men holding Mark and in one lightning move wrapped his muscular arms around their necks from behind. The veins on his huge biceps bulged as he choked them. As they went limp he pulled them away from Mark, then propelled them forward across the room, smashing their heads against the wall like twin battering rams.
Seizing the moment Mark slammed the back of his fist hard against the face of the thug holding the whip. As the brute spun round Mark came up behind him and locked his arms around him and behind his neck in a full nelson. He pushed him against the wall next to Randy and pounded his head into the wall. The man slumped to the floor dazed and disoriented.
His adrenaline racing Mark became aware of Randy's screaming curses. The leather man was running on pure, blazing fury. His well-known anger consumed him as he continued to hammer the heads against the wall. 'You cock-sucking cowards, torturing a kid. Try like taking on a man your own size, you fucking shitheads?'
'Hey, man, back off. You'll kill them.' Mark put a restraining hand on Randy's arm. 'They're finished, buddy. Look at them.'
As Mark pulled his arm Randy finally released his iron grip and let the two thugs slump to the ground. He stood over them, eyes blazing, chest heaving, body pouring with sweat. Ever the seasoned cop, Mark had already calmed down and took over.
'I'll secure these mother-fuckers,' he said. 'Take care of the kid.'
Randy came out of his trance and walked over to the young mechanic who was frozen in a blind panic. Randy kicked at the jumble of tools on the floor and picked up a long knife. He pulled the oily rag from the kid's mouth and raised the knife.
But Pablo recoiled, whimpering, 'No ... don't, please!'
'Hey, relax, kid. We're the good guys. It's over. I'm gonna cut you free. Just don't move, OK?'
Pablo stared at him. 'OK, sir.'
It took a moment for Randy to cut the ropes. Pablo's hands fell to his sides and he stood motionless before his rescuer, almost at attention. His handsome face, with its high cheek bones and slanted deep brown eyes was set in a display of defiance. But only for a moment. His face began to crumple, his heavy breathing became sobs, and tears began to stream from his eyes.
As the full horror of the day crashed in on him he fell forward, gripped Randy in a tight hug and sobbed into his shoulder. Randy brought his hands up around his neck and stroked the back of his head. Softly he spoke words of calm and comfort.
'That's it, kid. Let everything go. It's over. You're with me now. I'll take care of you. Your life's gonna change. No more fear, OK?'
Mark had finished tying up the three thugs and stood back watching Randy. He couldn't believe it. This powerful, muscular stud who only hours ago had been dominating him, fucking his ass, and only minutes ago had been delivering a savage, brutal beating, was now tenderly holding this terrified kid, gently stroking his hair and whispering words of comfort to him. It was at that moment that Mark fell completely in love with Randy.
Suddenly Pablo pulled himself free, took a step back and resumed his rigid, defiant stance. He pulled up his dungarees and pulled one strap over his shoulder. The other strap hung down, beyond repair. From one pocket he pulled an oily rag and wiped his eyes, which only added more grease stains to his face. Form his other pocket he pulled his frameless owl-like glasses and put them on. He blinked at Randy.
'I'm sorry, sir. I shouldn't have done that. I never cry.'
'Hey, kiddo, you're allowed. What was your name again?'
'Pablo, sir.'
'Yeah, right. Well, Pablo, here's what's gonna happen. You're with me now. I'll never let anyone hurt you again. That's a promise. But you have to do everything I tell you, OK?'
'Yes, sir. Thank you sir. What do I do now, sir?'
'You go outside and wait for the officer here and me while we clean up in here. Then we'll take you away from this dump.'
Pablo pulled himself up to his full height, turned smartly and left the room, almost at a march.
'And that,' said Randy to Mark, 'is what I call a man.'
* * *
A few minutes later the two men had, indeed, cleaned up. The three thugs had taken Pablo's place, tied to the car hoist, arms stretched upward and outward. The grizzled father growled at Mark.
'I paid good money for that kid. I own him.'
'Yeah?' Mark said. 'Well the last time I checked slavery was illegal in this country.'
'You don't know who you're messing with here, you fucker. Remember the name Baxter. Me and my five boys will take care of you sooner or later. As soon as I'm free I'm calling the cops.'
'I am the cops, asshole,' and Mark flashed his police ID at him. 'And I'll be the one doing the calling .... especially about your little project here. You smell that, Randy?'
'They stink like dead skunks,' snarled Randy.
'No, not just them. Take a deep breath, buddy.'
'Yeah,' agreed Randy. 'And the trailer out back stinks real bad... kinda acrid.'
Mark put his face close to the older man. 'You been doing a little cooking back there, uh, old man? Got a little meth lab going out there, have we?' The old guy flinched.
'So that's what keeps this place going,' Randy said. 'They're cooking crystal meth. Would never have thought of this scum as gourmet chefs, though. Kinda gives the words 'Home Cooking' a whole new meaning.'
Mark laughed. 'Go join the kid while I put the call in. I know a few of the local cops in this division.'
As Randy left the old man growled at Mark, 'You don't know who you're messing with, you pig. If you ever come back out here my other three sons will work you over good. Just remember the Baxter boys when you meet them again.'
* * *
'That's that, then,' said Mark as he came outside. 'The old man's a piece of work. Cops'll be arriving soon, but I want to get Pablo out of here. No need for him to be involved in the investigation.'
Randy turned to Pablo. 'OK, kid. Go and get your gear and we're outa here.'
'I don't have anything, sir.'
'What do you mean?'
'They took away all my clothes and things. If I asked for anything they beat me. This is all I have.'
Randy looked at him. 'When did you last eat?'
'Yesterday, I think, sir. I forget when they last brought me food.'
Randy clenched his jaw. 'OK, that does it. Do you sell jumper cables here?'
'Battery cables? Yes, sir. They're in the office. Do you want me to get a pair?'
'Three pairs!'
'Three...?' Surprised, he ran inside and came back with the cables.
Randy turned to Mark. 'Give me five minutes. Then we can hit the road.'
He strode inside the repair shop and faced the three bound men. 'OK, it's prize-giving time. You guys have had a good time torturing that kid for a couple of years. Now he has something for you. He walked up to one of the sons and snarled, 'This is from Pablo.' He raised his arm, his biceps bulging, and smashed the back of his fist against the man's cheek. His head flew backward with a howl of pain.
'And this,' Randy said, ripping the guy's T-shirt off, 'is from me.' He held a pair of jumper cables, one clamp in each hand, and squeezed so the serrated teeth opened wide. As he clamped them hard onto the man's nipples there was an agonized scream of pain as the sharp teeth bit into his flesh.
Approaching the second guy, he said, 'This is from Pablo.' And he delivered a vicious hard right into the terrified man's stomach, making him double up in pain. 'And from me you get the same as your brother here.' Again he ripped off the shirt and clamped the teeth of the cable to his tits, provoking more screams.
Randy had to shout to the father. 'Sound like your boys have a good set of lungs, old man. Let's see if you can match them. This is from Pablo.' He brought his knee up and crashed it into the man's balls. When the scream died down, Randy said. 'Oh, and this is from my buddy Mark who you wanted to hurt so bad.' And he jerked his knee up again. 'And this is from me.' For the third time he ripped off the shirt and clamped the serrated ends of the cables to the suffering man's chest.
Finally he gathered the other ends of the cables and twisted them all together, so each man was straining, pulling tightly on the chest of the others. The screams were so intense that Mark burst into the room.
'What the hell's going on?' He stopped short. 'Jesus, Randy, you don't fool around do you?'
'Well,' Randy grinned. 'I knew you couldn't do anything like this. That would be police brutality. But me ... well I work freelance, so I can do more or less what I want.'
'And usually do,' said Mark.
'Pretty much,' Randy smiled. 'Come on. Let's get out of this rat-hole.'
* * *
'Here,' Randy said to Pablo as they came outside, and he held out a bag full of tools from the repair shop. 'Those guys won't be needing these where they're going. They're yours.'
'Wow,' said Pablo.
'Now food,' said Mark. 'I know a small Mexican restaurant not far from here. We'll stop there and feed this guy.' But Pablo suddenly ran into the office. A few minutes later he came out with a helmet he had found for himself. He also had a 'Closed For Business' sign that he hung up. Underneath it he had scrawled, '(A bit tied up!)'. For the first time he grinned as he looked up at Randy, who punched his shoulder and said, 'That's my boy.'
Pablo jumped on the bike behind Randy, wrapping his arms tightly around him. Randy and Mark kicked their machines into life and they screeched away. In the distance they heard the sound of approaching police sirens that mingled with the screams of the agonized men inside. But these noises quickly died away, replaced by the wind as it whistled past them.
Twenty minutes later the three men were the only customers in the tiny, remote restaurant. 'Wow,' said Pablo as the waitress placed before him a huge pile of sizzling fajitas.
Randy smiled. 'Boy, do we have to broaden your vocabulary.'
Pablo wolfed down the food as if he hadn't eaten for days, which he probably hadn't. Between mouthfuls he told his story. In a car he was repairing he had found some magazines left there by the customer. They were mostly pictures of naked men, and he was thumbing though them when the three guys had seen him.
'That's why they called me a faggot and whipped me, sir.'
'And are you .... gay I mean?' asked Randy.
Pablo hesitated.
'Look I know that's kind of personal, but if I'm to take charge of you I need to know all about you.'
Pablo stammered. 'I ....I think I might be, sir.'
'You think?.......'
'Well, I've never done anything with anyone ... sex or anything, but those pictures were interesting .... especially .... well, especially the one of the black guy with a huge dick.'
Randy muttered to himself. 'Boy, do I have someone you should meet.'
Mark, in cop mode, was more businesslike. 'I want to get a few things clear. Pablo. You say you have no relatives.'
'No, sir. I've been in foster care all my life.'
'And now you're nearly 21, so you've been emancipated from DCFS?
'Your case with Family Services has been closed.'
'Oh, yeah. The Welfare wrote me off a couple years ago. I'm all alone in the world now.'
Randy stood up. 'Not any more you're not, kiddo. Let's go.'
As Pablo leaned over his chair to pick up his helmet his perfect bubble butt was outlined under his dungarees. Mark's eyes widened and Randy rolled his eyes at him and grinned.
Outside they climbed on their bikes and Randy turned to Pablo behind him. 'We ride fast, kid, but it'll still take well over an hour to get home. You think you can hold on tight to me for that long?'
Pablo cleared his throat. 'I'll hold on tight to you for as long as you want, sir.'
Mark grinned at Randy. 'I guess that goes for me too ... sir!'
Randy smiled back. 'I'm counting on it.'
And they hit the road, headed for home.'
* * *
Meanwhile, back at the house the scene was far more domestic. The previous day, while Randy and Mark were exploring each other in the high desert, Darius had got home first and was preparing dinner. Anticipating Bob's return from work, he had put on fresh jeans and a clean white T-shirt. But still his beautifully proportioned, black, muscular body strained through his clothes.
Soon the door opened and Bob walked in, dressed in his business suit and tie.
'God, I'm bushed. Tough day. But dinner smells good.' He put his arm round Darius's neck. 'You know, it feels real good coming home to see you being all domestic. You're a good kid. I'm going up to change. Bring me a beer, will you?'
Darius got two beers and followed Bob up to his bedroom. He sat on the bed while Bob changed. He loved to watch this .... it never failed to turn him on. Even dressed in formal business clothes Bob was stunning. His square-jawed, chiseled face, with dark hair and deep brown eyes gave him a Superman look. And Darius was eager to see his incredible body.
Bob took off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He shrugged off his jacket, then pulled his shirt off. There he stood, stripped to the waist, his broad muscular shoulders and wide lats tapering down, past his sculpted chest to the trim waist of his pants. He kicked off his shoes and socks, unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall to the floor. He stood facing Darius wearing only his white boxer shorts.
Darius gazed up at this gorgeous man in awe. He was almost drooling. 'Jeez....' he said to himself.
Bob pulled on new blue jeans, but remained barefoot. From a drawer he picked a sparkling white V-neck T-shirt that he pulled over his brawny torso. It was not tight but it still clung to his rounded pecs, and his biceps bulged out below the short sleeves.
'You look incredible in that shirt,' Darius breathed. 'Fucking unbelievable. Look....' And he pointed to his leg. The full length of his swollen ten-inch cock stretched under his jeans almost to his knee.
Bob laughed, pleased at the effect he was having. 'Hey, is that burning pot-roast I smell?'
'Jesus!' Darius came out of his trance and bolted for the door.
* * *
Half an hour later the two men were sitting at the kitchen table over their meal. Darius had never felt so at ease with a man, despite his almost permanent erection. Bob was not only incredibly beautiful, he was kind, easy going, somehow the bedrock of calm in the house. Randy was the undisputed boss but Bob was the anchor. They were soul-mates, and would be for ever, united in affection, passion and lust. Still, Darius brought the subject up.
'I keep wondering,' Darius said. 'Are you sure you're OK with Randy and Mark going off like that? I mean, Mark's pretty much a god, and they're bound to ...'
'Fuck around?' Mark smiled. 'Look, I know Randy better than I know myself. And I know the one thing he still had to do. Don't you?
Darius hesitated. 'Fuck Mark's ass?'
'Damn right. My only regret is that I wasn't there to watch. Can you imagine the sight?'
'Oh yeah,' Darius grinned. 'Stop making me hard.'
'I've told you before. Randy and I have a love that's unique. Nothing, nobody will ever come between us. But Randy has to assert his authority, and if it means fucking a Greek god to do it, so be it.'
'You're something else,' Darius said. 'I ... I just wanna say .... Hell, man, I love you.'
'I know,' Bob smiled. 'And we're all alone in the house. How about that?'
Darius grinned again, 'I told you .... stop making me hard.'
'But you,' Bob said. 'Don't you ever feel you'd like to have someone nearer your own age around? Someone you can look after, show the ropes to?'
'Like a kid brother, you mean? Yeah, I guess I do sometimes. But meanwhile I'm not complaining. I'm happy living with two of the most gorgeous men ever to walk the planet. And you feed my fantasies. I fantasize all the time, mostly about you two.'
'Hmm, maybe we'll do something about that later. But for now I'm exhausted. D'you mind if we call it a night?'
Darius's face fell. 'Well, sure.'
'What's the matter? You're gonna sleep with me, aren't you?'
Darius beamed. 'Try stopping me.'
Upstairs they took off their jeans and stood in their shorts and T-shirts. Bob frowned a little.
'Darius. Don't take this wrong, but I'm really bushed. Do you mind if ......'
'If we just go to sleep together?'
'How did you know?'
'That's one of my fantasies,' Darius grinned.
'Then come here.'
They climbed into bed. Darius lay on his side and the beautiful man he worshipped pulled up close behind him. Darius gave a big contented sigh as Bob wrapped his big arms around him and held him tight. The young man was in heaven as he felt the muscles rippling under the T-shirt as they pressed against him, the bulge of Bob's cock against his ass. He was in heaven as he closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
* * *
'Breakfast in bed, sir?' It was morning and Darius had got up while Bob slept. Now he came in with a tray loaded with steaming hot food.
'You know, I should keep you around,' Bob laughed. Come and eat.'
Darius joined him bed and they attacked the breakfast. 'So,' Bob said. 'Sleeping with me was one of your fantasies. Tell me more.'
'They're usually a lot rougher than that. Remember the time when I mouthed off to Randy and he punished me real good ... fucked my ass brutally until I cried? Well it hurt like hell and I hated him at the time, but now, every time I think about it, it makes me hard. I guess I kinda liked being hurt ... by the right man, of course, and especially if my ass gets punished.'
'Yeah but you made Randy real angry. I can't imagine you ever making me that mad. And fantasies have to be close to the truth to be any good.'
Bob was silent for a while as he ate.
'Tell you what,' he said at last. 'Today's Saturday and there's a project I've been meaning to get to. There's a tree stump in the garden that needs to be uprooted. But It'll be real tough, a lot of hard work. You up for it?'
Darius's eyes shone as he began to understand. 'Absolutely, sir.'
'Go put on your work clothes. I'll join you in the garden.'
Darius ran downstairs, and Bob got up and rooted around in the dirty laundry. 'I'll give him a fantasy he won't forget,' he murmured.
* * *
Dressed in cut-off jeans, work boots and an old grubby T-shirt Darius stood waiting, and his jaw dropped when he saw Bob come out of the house. He was dressed in Randy's work clothes .... mud-caked cargo pants and work boots, and an old faded blue tank top stained with sweat and grease. Around his tight waist was Randy's tool belt.
He looked incredible .... an icon of a macho, muscular construction worker. Darius was used to seeing a handsome businessman, buttoned down, almost preppy, but now Bob looked rough, dirty, tough. He was the man of Darius's dreams ... his fantasy come to life.
'Jesus,' Darius breathed. 'You look .... '
'Forget it punk. We have work to do.'
And the work was back breaking. The huge tree stump was a bitch, and they dug, hacked and heaved at it for a couple of hours before it even moved. Despite the hard labor Darius had a permanent hard-on watching Bob's huge muscles flex, strain and gleam as his hair fell over his face that poured with sweat, and his clothes clung to his straining body.
Bob tied ropes around the tree stump and they heaved at it. But he was getting frustrated and mad.
'Pull, dammit,' he growled at Darius. 'You're pulling like a girl. Put some muscle into it.'
The criticism stung. 'Fuck you. I'm doing more than my share. I need a break, anyway. I'm done, man.'
Bob's eyes blazed. 'You're done when I tell you you're done, asshole.'
'Oh is that so? And who made you the boss? Randy's my boss, not you,' and he flung down the rope.
'You fucking shithead,' yelled Bob and shoved the sweating black man backwards. Recovering himself, Darius pushed him back. The shoving match that followed quickly escalated into a fight and soon the two men were rolling on the ground, muscles grinding together in a battle for supremacy. Bob was surprised at the black man's strength, but Bob was bigger and gradually gained the upper hand. He finally had Darius pinned under him on the ground, exhausted.
'You arrogant little prick. OK, you want me to show you who's boss? You got it, asshole.'
Bob leapt to his feet and grabbed the rope they hade been using. Darius started to move but Bob was too quick. Instantly he tied the ropes around Darius's wrists and pulled the other end around the tree stump. Darius was helpless on his back, his arms stretched tight above his head and attached to the tree.
He looked up tauntingly at the huge, sweating construction worker towering over him.
'What you gonna do now, big guy? Fuck my ass? Go ahead, asshole. Aint nothing you can do to my ass that Randy hasn't already done. He'll always be boss.'
'OK, that does it,' Bob growled, and he strode over to the tool shed. He brought back a can of grease and picked up a long-handled hammer they had been using. The handle was rubber-coated and had a rounded end ... fortunately for Darius, whose eyes widened as he began to understand.
'No! You're not gonna .... I can't do that .... Please, I've had enough. I give up, sir. Let's stop.'
'Shut up, punk. You asked for this.' Bob pulled down Darius's cut-offs to his ankles. He coated the handle of the hammer with grease and brought it up to Darius's hole. With one steady thrust he pushed it between the perfect mounds of his ass. Darius threw his head back and screamed with pain. Bob twisted the handle like a corkscrew, pushing it deeper into the agonized man's gut.
Darius looked with pleading eyes at the magnificent construction worker whose eyes blazed with anger. The agonized man didn't know where he was. He was aware only of the beautiful face above him, dripping with sweat, lips curled as he tortured his ass. He thought he might pass out when suddenly, brutally the handle was yanked out of his ass. He howled again.
But Bob wasn't finished. He smothered his left hand with grease and held it close to Darius's face. 'See this? That's one thing I bet Randy never did to your ass.'
'No, sir. Please. My ass can't take that. It's too sore. And your hand's too big. Please stop, sir. I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said.'
Bob ignored him. He pushed his fingers against Darius's ass and slowly twisted them into his hole. He paused, then pushed again. As Darius felt the widest part of Bob's fist against his hole he knew what was coming. He closed his eyes and screamed as he felt a jolt of searing pain. When it subsided he opened his eyes and looked down at the broad, muscular shoulder. He followed the arm past the bulging bicep and forearm, and he gasped as he saw the wrist disappearing into his ass.
His eyes streamed with tears as the fist started to turn in the furnace of his ass and stroked the velvet lining. He could not take much of this ... and Bob knew it. With his free hand Bob took hold of Darius's huge, stiff cock and started to stroke it. As the pace quickened he looked down at the suffering man's eyes.
'Now, punk, talk. Who's the boss ... who's your master?'
Darius groaned, 'You are sir. I'm sorry I said .... I submit to you sir. Do what you want with my ass, sir. It belongs to you.'
Bob stroked the big black dick harder and faster and said. 'You're gonna show me I'm your master. You're gonna shoot your load when I tell you. Is that clear, asshole?'
'Yes sir.'
Bob held his victim's eyes in a penetrating gaze. Darius gazed up at him, his eyes pleading for release. 'I'm begging you, sir.'
'OK ... now!'
'Aaahh!' Darius's cock shuddered and shot a huge stream of hot cum all over his own chest. He looked up at his glorious master, felt his fist in his ass, and his orgasm erupted again and again. He had never seen or felt anything like this. He was dreaming, in a trance, as his cock pumped load after load.
When his orgasm finally stopped he was sobbing, unable to speak. Bob looked down at the broken man, his gleaming muscles covered in sweat and cum, and realized that his own cock was rigid. Slowly he pulled his fist out of the burning ass, causing a last deep groan from the young man.
There was a long silence as Bob leaned forward, looking down at the tear-stained face. As Darius looked up at him Bob smiled.
'How was that for a fantasy?'
Darius smiled back. 'Un- fucking believable. Man, you are awesome. I never thought I .... Jesus, I'm gonna jerk off thinking about that for years. Man ... I really love you, man.'
'That so? Well then, how about one last fantasy? How about a filthy, greasy stud construction worker who fucks your ass gently and tenderly because he loves you? How's that sound?'
Darius's only reply was a huge sigh. Bob reached up and untied Darius's wrists. Then he brought his stiff cock up against his ass.
'And this, buddy, is simply because I love you.'
He eased his cock into the ravaged ass and both men moaned in mutual pleasure. He stared down into the almond-shaped green eyes, now brimming with tears of love instead of pain. Slowly, gently, Bob pushed his cock into the willing ass, deeper and deeper. The slow, gentle rhythm continued for a long, long time, leading both men hypnotically into a pastel world with no fantasy, no pain, no anger ... just the close communion of two souls.
'You ready?' Bob finally asked.
'Of course,' Darius breathed.
'Then let's do it.' In total harmony their bodies shuddered and both cocks streamed with cum. Darius felt the semen of this incredible man fill his warm ass as his own second orgasm flooded over his body. As their juice flowed they remained fixed on each other's eyes for a long time. Then slowly, almost imperceptibly, Bob withdrew his cock and he fell on the grass beside the sighing man. They turned to face each other.
Bob smiled. 'That was a lot of fantasies for one day. Think that'll hold you for a while?'
'Thank you, sir. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're an amazing man, you know that? God, I'm in heaven.'
And they drifted off to sleep.
* * *
It was the sound of roaring engines that woke them. They both sat bolt upright and said in unison, 'They're home!'
Excited, they leapt to their feet and were halfway across the grass when they stopped and stared. Through the gate came Randy, tousled, grease stained, one arm of his tank torn from his shoulder. Following him came the gorgeous Mark, his T-shirt almost shredded. Obviously they had been in some kind of fight.
Most amazingly they were followed by a hesitant, exotically beautiful young man, with a naturally sculpted body and chiseled features, high cheek bones and slanted deep brown eyes. He was in dungarees, but these too were torn, hanging from one shoulder.
The newcomers also stopped and looked in amazement. Bob and Darius looked filthy, covered in dirt, their shirts ragged, hanging half off their muscular chests. They too had apparently been in a fight. There was a long silence
Suddenly Randy threw his head back and howled with laughter. 'Hey, you guys, look!'
He turned to face the big picture window of the house. The others did the same and saw their clear reflections in it, five incredibly beautiful guys, all filthy, disheveled, ripped clothes hanging from their sculpted bodies.
Pablo reached into his pocket and put on his owl glasses.
'Wow,' he said.
All five men burst into uncontrollable laughter as they looked at their own astonishing reflections.
And that was Pablo's introduction to his new family.
* * *
Five guys. In the coming weeks they would get to know each other intimately, through experiment, exploration and fantasy. Pablo will have his first sexual encounter with a man. He will choose which one. And Mark will remember his promise to get to know Bob.
But in the near future Mark has to return to the desert to give evidence at the preliminary hearing of the Baxter trial. And there were three more Baxter boys on the loose.

Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell visited the Kenai Peninsula Tuesday and signed three bills sponsored by members of the local legislative delegation during the last session.
As Parnell addressed the joint Kenai and Soldotna Chambers of Commerce luncheon group, he said he was proud of the coordination displayed by the legislature.
"I've been around for a while and we have not seen such working ... and a desire to meet the challenges facing Alaskans as we have seen with the alignment of House, Senate and the administration working to meet those challenges," he said. "It's not about party, it's not about anything other than desiring to work together in a civil way to meet the challenges that face us."
House Bill 30, sponsored by Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, establishes a system of performance reviews for governmental agencies through the Legislative Audit Division.
It will use "minimal staff and outsourced independent contract work" to complete the reviews according to the bill's summary.
Chenault said the goal was to go through each department and audit it from the ground up.
"The legislature usually doesn't have the opportunity to do so, being in session for only 90 days. It doesn't usually have the opportunity to go through a $12 billion budget."
If the audit shows that a program is not effective, it will be brought to the legislature's attention.
"They will have to determine "is that program economically viable and should we use it?'" Chenault said.
House Bill 198, sponsored by Kurt Olson, R-Soldotna, allows the Department of Natural Resources to grant one-time extensions to the primary term of certain oil and gas leases.
One-time lease extensions could be granted for up to five years in addition to the primary terms of the lease.
Olson said it would encourage oil and gas explorers and producers to remain in the state.
Senate Bill 7, sponsored by Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, updates the state's corporate income tax code.
Giessel said the code had not been adjusted for inflation in more than 30 years.
She said the legislation lowered the corporate income tax and was as proud to have sponsored it.
"The idea was actually brought to me by a small business owner who said "do you know how high our income tax is?' So, unlike certain federal leaders, I don't believe that government is what makes your businesses successful. I believe you, you and your hard work, your leadership and your employees hard work is what makes our businesses productive," Giessel said.
Parnell said the legislature accomplished three "big picture" items that he considered imperative.
"We needed to get our fiscal house in order, we needed to cut spending, no question about that," Parnell said. "Second, we needed to reform our oil taxes, third we needed to get the corporate framework authorized to carry the state's interest in a natural gas pipeline."

A Snowflake Garland! What better way to celebrate winter? I am always sad to put away the Christmas decorations. To keep my heart in a festive mood and to continue the holiday spirit, I often like to decorate for winter. Here in Princeton, New Jersey, we've had lots of snow recently. I love to bring the magical ambience of the glistening outdoors in! Here is an easy diy snowflake garland that does just that!
I recently came across this beautiful snowy window ( below) from the store Anthropologie.
What a marvelous way of capturing the magical spirit of winter.
I adore the snowflake windows at Le Puits Sainte Claire Bed & Breakfast at Courcon d'Aunis in France (below).
Jennifer Rizzo created a vintage snowflake banner (below) from doilies, twine and crystal glitter. I love her simple yet elegant, easy diy.
J'adore la guirlande de flocons de neige! From alittleMarket.com comes this delicate Snowflake Garland made with ceramic snowflakes and twine.
At Ambiente Vistoriado I found exquisite paper snowflakes (below) used for decorating walls and windows and creating mobiles and simple tablecloths.
This magnificent paper snowflake mobile (below) was featured on useful diy.com. It would be a wonderful addition to any room any time of the year.
Having been so inspired, I embarked on creating my own snowflake garland with a little help from my daughter Julia. First, I went to the website instructables.com to check out how to make paper snowflakes. It gives easy step by step instructions on how to make 6-point paper snowflakes. Using plain white copy paper, we made as many snowflakes as we could.
We thought it would be cute to apply spray snow to the snowflakes to make them a bit more realistic. We sprayed a light coating.
We sprinkled glitter while the spray snow was still wet. We did this on both sides.
We then sprayed the dry snowflakes with an acrylic sealer to make sure the glitter stayed on. We let the snowflakes dry overnight. Then using just white thread and a needle, we carefully pulled the thread through each snowflake (similar to sewing).
We lined up four or five snowflakes in a row and carefully pulled the thread through each one. I put a tiny clear bead between each snowflake to add a sparkle and again at the end of the entire row.
Be patient and careful with the thread. It tangles easily and can be a bit frustrating to work with.
Then I hung some thread horizontally across my windows and tied each strand of snowflakes to it.
I just love how our simple paper snowflakes hung with simple white thread brings the magical ambience of the glistening outdoors in! And I had fun discovering how easy it was to make paper snowflakes (which I had never done before).

Hello kathleenmanning,
I did check your web page in firefox and I am able to replicate the the issue you are having. It does work fine in chrome though.
The issue seems to be related to the css of div "right600col" you have in your web page. I am not sure why it is causing this issue. Probably some div is actually overlapping. Please check the screenshot below:
To solve this problem, I would suggest you to edit your css file of your website "https://printsoldandrare.com/_css/styles.css" and edit the following code and remove the text "float: left":
#left300col {
float: left;
width: 300px;
Hope this solves your problem.
Do get back to us if the issue persists.
Thank you!

SANTIAGO, March 18 (Reuters) - Eliodoro Matte, president of Chilean wood pulp company Empresas CMPC, will step down from his post next month, the company said in a note to Chile's SVS securities regulator on Friday.
"Eliodoro Matte Larrain has formally communicated to the company his decision not to apply for the post of director of Empresas CMPC in the election that will take place at the shareholder meeting in April," the company said in the note.
The note said Matte had held the post since 2002.
CMPC has forestry and wood pulp operations in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay.
Chile's competition regulator said in October that CMPC had colluded with PISA, purchased by Swedish-owned SCA in 2012, for at least a decade to control nearly 90 percent of Chile's toilet paper and tissue sales and keep prices higher. SCA was fined $15.5 million, while CMPC escaped punishment because it admitted wrongdoing in March.
In December, Peru's consumer regulator said it could sanction Kimberly-Clark Corp with a fine of up to 12 percent of its earnings after competitor CMPC reported the two toilet paper companies fixed prices for years. (Reporting by Gram Slattery)

I recently subscribed to someones blog..
I went looking for where I could see a list of the blogs I have subscribed to.
No luck.
1.Is there somewhere I can see that information?
While looking for that list I came across the Manage Subscriptions which shows people who have subscribed to my blogs. I see their E mails.
I take it that the person whose blog I have subscribed to can see my E mail.
I understood from FAQ #54 that TP never shows E mail addresses.
2. I would appreciate your comments on that.

Anyone use clock vine as a ground cover vs. grown vertically?
Posted via Mobile Device
I am not sure but if you were able to recreate a area for it to climb , it would not care if it was actually going vertical. I know it does climb well on items like a chain link fence so I would assume if you are cover the area you are trying to grow it as a ground cover with some type of material that allows it to climb it would do its thing.
That's what I was thinking too, Mike.

Dr. Sarah Jensen and her husband Nick believe that same-sex marriage would signal the end of proper, Heaven-writ, heterosexual marriage.
It seems that this is destined to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the Jensens plan—should gay marriage become a reality in their native Australia—to end their proper, Heaven-writ, heterosexual marriage.
That's right. If "the gays" sully the institution of marriage, the Jensens want no part of it. Ten years of wedded bliss be damned.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Jensens believe:
"Widening the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples threatens the sacred nature of the union and leaves the door open to polygamy."
In a lengthy letter published online, Nick Jensen writes that, though his wife is his high-school sweetheart, the only woman he's ever loved, and his "perfect match" in every way, they may be forced to get a divorce.
Do they think that the threat of their divorce will be sufficient to stem the tide of LGBT progress? Isn't such pride, like, a sin or something?
"After our divorce, we'll continue to live together, hopefully for another 50 years. And, God willing, we'll have more children. We'll also continue to refer to each other as "husband" and "wife" and consider ourselves married by the Church and before God."
We guess the Bible's emphasis on chastity outside of marriage and children born in wedlock alone no longer applies.
Jensen goes on to argue that he and his wife believe that "marriage is the union of a man and a woman before a community in the sight of God." Well, said community is shifting. The world is changing its mind about what to privilege more: love and equality, or tradition.
And people who wish to participate in the new traditions, and in the institution of marriage (no less sacred now that it's becoming wider, braver, kinder) may wish to keep up.

Life of a Takk
When my star was a nebula it was blue, green, red. It wasn't hot. It wasn't big. It was just a little baby. It's very lonely because no planets orbit it. His name is Paco. He will soon to be a high mass star.
When my star was a protostar it was pretty. It was yellow, orange, yellow, red. Paco was big but not to big and it was good looking. It was still on its way to become a high mass star.
Main Sequence Star/High Mass
Paco has formed a star. But he is not yet a red giant. He also has a lot more stages to go threw. He is also a very pretty blue. He will soon to be a red giant. He is also a high mass.
Big Red Giant
My star is now a big red giant. He is red like most red giants. He is having fun being huge and red. But Paco will soon to be a Supernova star.
My star is so handsome. He is blue, orange, red, black, and more. He had a fun time in his life but it is almost up.
Black Hole
My black hole is black, blue, and orange. Paco is happy but he is not really a star anymore. He is having fun sucking things up into his hole. He is also still pretty.

On Saturday, I helped cut the ribbon on a new bridge in St. Louis that spans the Mississippi River. It's called the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge--named in honor of our nation's heroes and after one of the Midwest's greatest sports legends--and with good reason.
Early in his career, Stan Musial was a pitcher who'd injured his throwing arm. And, as legend has it, the St. Louis Cardinals were going to release him until the team's legendary GM, Branch Rickey heard about it.
"Don't let him go," Rickey said, "Put him in the outfield, and let's see if he can hit."
Twenty-two seasons and more than 3,600 hits later, Branch Rickey had his answer. Stan "The Man" Musial could hit.
In no small measure, what Rickey did for Stan Musial gets at the heart of what this new bridge will do for the people, and the companies, of the St. Louis area: It gives them a chance to succeed.
Some of them already have. And although we're proud that DOT was able to support about 80 percent of the cost for this project, we're even prouder that a significant portion of the work on this bridge was done by firms that too often don't get a shot at building our nation's infrastructure.
At USDOT, we have a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program that gives small, women- and minority-owned companies (DBEs) an opportunity to be federal contractors. DOT's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization covers the state of Missouri through its Central Region, Small Business Transportation Center, and the people in that office have been busy. Because when it came to the work on this bridge and the highways linking to it, 117 different DBEs earned 246 contracts worth more than $114 million.
This is important because a diverse workforce can result in better ideas, and more successful projects. And, in this case, it did.
For example, BRK Electrical Contractors, a small, minority-owned business in St. Louis, formed a joint venture with one of the region's largest companies in its industry to build the electrical systems for the bridge structure. The project not only allowed BRK to gain valuable experience so they can tackle larger projects in the future; it also helped the city.
You see, BRK was instrumental in figuring out that the electrical system called for in the bridge blueprints could actually be replaced with a much less costly system. As a result, they saved the project a million dollars.
When President Obama spoke in his State of the Union address about building "ladders of opportunity" --helping people who are reaching for the middle class get a leg up-- this is exactly what he meant.
And that's why, at DOT, we will continue taking on projects like this one all across America. And we will continue to ensure that all businesses have a chance to help build the 21st Century infrastructure this nation needs.

New Delhi, Nov. 20: As Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived today to talk business, Delhi stressed that its security worries about foreign direct investment (FDI) in sensitive sectors are not China-specific.
There is no discrimination against Chinese companies, an official said.
Although India-China business ties have grown fast, Beijing has often objected to investment curbs in key sectors. Its ambassador recently complained about this, adding that Chinese companies faced visa problems, too.
A recent National Security Council report, too, speaks of regulating FDI in sensitive sectors like telecom and aviation, but officials denied that China was being singled out.
Delhi is eager to clear the air as the focus of Hus three-day visit will be on business and a comprehensive economic arrangement.
Hu and his wife Liu Yongging were received at the airport by foreign minister Pranab Mukherjee and minister-in-waiting Kapil Sibal.
The two sides will sign 10 agreements tomorrow, in fields ranging from protection of bilateral investment to education and health. On the talks table will be a proposal on civil nuclear energy cooperation.
But the recent territorial controversy over Arunachal Pradesh will not weigh too much, officials said. The issue will be taken up by special representatives, Indias national security adviser M.K. Narayanan and Chinese vice-foreign minister Dai Binguou, who are working out dates.
Amid fears about China diverting the Brahmaputras waters, Delhi will seek to enhance the exchange of hydrological data on the northeastern river and Sutlej.
The Indo-US nuclear deal will be discussed but officials said it is too early to seek support from China in its capacity as a Nuclear Suppliers Group member. We have not reached that stage.

Morris County NJ Personal Trainer Presents: From Huffing And Puffing To Shredding And Buffing!
I was so out of shape, by the time I finished, my entire body was shaking and all my muscles were quivering. Each subsequent workout got easier and I began to enjoy the workouts.
By Drew Luski
Over 12 weeks ago I was overweight, and lacking in self confidence. Jose Fuentes (World Renowned Trainer and Nutritionist)
I told myself that I would one day get my butt in gear and get into the condition I've always wanted to be. Well, days, months and years went by and I did nothing to change the way I was eating and working out. I'm a Firefighter. I believe it is necessary to be in the best physical shape I can be, not just for me, but also for the members of my team. If I lack endurance, it's going to show, causing my team members to have to work even harder.
When I met with Jose; he told me 3 main things at the beginning : 1. I was retaining a lot of water weight (but that would come off). 2. I would be making big changes to the way I ate. 3. By January I would see the weight literally melting off.
My very first workout, Jose took things slow and explained each exercise and what muscles it worked. I was so out of shape, by the time I finished, my entire body was shaking and all my muscles were quivering. Each subsequent workout got easier and I began to enjoy the workouts. I even got to work with the other trainer, Rich Yobs. Rich is in his early 70s, but he made me sweat just as much as Jose! Both trainers have increased the weights and reps making me lost more fat and gain more muscle. I couldn't be more satisfied!
I have lost the weight. (Way more than I expected). As a Firefighter, I am able to accomplish tasks easier and without panting or getting tired as easily. As a Maintenance worker, I lift heavier loads and move things more easily without "huffing and puffing."
I liked the fact that I was able to sit down with Jose and pick his brain about diet and supplements. Each week, he would help plan a menu with my input. We were even able to work in "cheat days" and I still continued to lose weight. Yes, I was able to eat Pizza, Chinese Buffets, and Italian Food!
Yes, I learned a lot, and continue to learn as I continue to train with Jose and making phenomenal improvements!
This is simply a lifestyle that I would hold on to for life!

We all have them—guilty pleasures. And you KNOW I am talking about food. They evolve as we grow, I guess, and personally, I can handle most of my own. There is, however, one guilty pleasure I have never outgrown and that is a bowl of warm, fluffy rice. Oh, yes.
If you're wondering why rice is something to feel guilty about, you may have not heard about "bad" carbs. If you're wondering what makes it such a pleasure, you may have not had a bowl of steamed white rice as it should be prepared.
For me, white rice was comfort food mainly because it was always in the cabinet in our kitchen in Venezuela. Even during difficult times, when there wasn't much to eat around the house, there was always rice.
So it was a lot of times for me, my afternoon snack. Not a good idea. And to make a 'bad' carb worse I added butter and/or cheese.
Now that I thrive on a healthy lifestyle that includes a wholesome diet, I have to find ways to replace some of my guilty pleasures. Ingredients like butter and cream are never on my shopping list; and my dishes never need them!
To give my comfort dish a healthy makeover I now prepare it using only olive oil and quickly sauté the rice before serving to give it that 'buttery' look.
My favorite part: the feta cheese softens up when slightly immersed in the rice. Nothing sophisticated, but for me it is just comfort in a bowl.
I have actually made this same dish with other grains like quinoa, farro, and bulgur wheat. And I encourage you to give it a try. Hope you like it!
Well, it's been great having some time at home and writing more posts. I get on the road again this Friday! I am heading to our Nation's Capital for the Washington D.C. International Wine and Food Festival where I'll be doing a special appearance. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and say hello!! (All my fans get $15 OFF with promo code ALEJ15).
Saffron rice with sautéed spinach and feta cheese.
Yield: 8 servings
- Coarse sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Olive oil
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 3 ½ cups water
- 1 tsp saffron threads
- 1 garlic clove, sliced thinly or minced
- 2 cups (packed) baby spinach leaves
- ½ cup (packed) feta cheese, broken in ~ ½" chunks
- 8 kalamata olives
- Optional: juice from 1 lemon
Rinse rice with cold water a few times, until water is clear; strain it and set aside.
Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat; add saffron, 1 tbsp of olive oil, and 1 ½ tsp of salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, carefully add rinsed rice and stir once with a wooden spoon. Cover tightly with a lid and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all liquids have been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 2 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork onto a platter and allow cooling off slightly. Fluff again.
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and spinach; sauté for 2 minutes, stirring leaves carefully until mostly wilted. Season lightly with salt. Add cooked rice to the pan and mix with spinach.*
Season with freshly ground pepper and top with feta cheese chunks and olive. You may drizzle some extra olive oil and fresh lemon juice for an extra layer of flavors.
I have actually made this same this with other grains like quinoa, farro, and bulgur wheat. And I encourage you to give it a try!
* If you don't have a pan big enough for the full serving, do it in separate batches

Finished it. . .finally.
So this one has a story that gives me plenty of excuses of why it took so long in order to get it ready to go. I'll make it short.
This Remington 700 started out as a .308. I ordered the XHR LH version initially, so I'd have a great stock, barrel all I'd need was the optics and I'd be good to go. Well, the store ordered the wrong rifle, a basic 700 LH with the SPS stock. They refunded me the difference, I took it home, looked for a nicer lefty stock, couldn't find one I liked under $700.
In the mean time I came across a lightly used McMillan long action that is RH, but with an ambidextrous cheek weld and feels GREAT for cheap! (this gun now wears it)
So now I had a long action stock I liked and a short action Remy. :confused: All the while I'm also thinking that I wanted a bigger caliber. (already had a .308) So what to do.
I figured since the shop screwed up the first order they owed me one, so I took it back and told them I wanted a RH 700 in .300 Win Mag. They ordered it and I got the gun. . . only to break off the trigger while adjusting it the first night of ownership! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!! You should see how paper thin that piece of metal is. It broke off right next to the adjustment screw. I'll post a pic.
So it got sent off to one of the Remington Armour's in Tulsa, OK: SPORTS WORLD AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
Total turn around time was 10 WEEKS!!! For a freaking trigger. I coulda done it myself in an hour (probably less). All the while I had to keep calling and calling and was given excuse after excuse. They even once said that Remington was "out" of triggers for their 700s??? I proceeded to tell them what a joke they were and that I would be letting people know. Which I am. The gun was delivered the 10th week with noticeable scratch marks on the floor-plate, but I was just happy to have my gun. I may still contact Remington and send them pictures. Remington did apologize for their incompetence and said there have been many recent complaints. Hopefully they will act upon them?
So I now have the gun, but the front action screw no longer engaged the threads. So yet another trip to Fastenal. . . they were able to order me in a 1/4 - 28 machine screw that works, but does not have the same low profile head that the original Remington screw did. Oh well. I worked.
So I mounted up my stock, got a killer deal on a Nikon Monarch 2.5 - 10 x 42mm scope, hooked up to Burris dovetail mounts and rings and it looks like the following picture. :)

Here she is!

Here's the broken trigger. I managed to keep it. I may have been a little rough with it, (couple of beers???) but should be more durable than this. In addition to the trigger. The chamber and barrel are already showing signs of rust. I keep wiping it off with a properly oiled rag, but it reappears every week or so. I haven't shot it yet, so that will tell if the gun is worth it's quirks, but so far I am skeptical at best for my outlook towards another Remington purchase.
I'd love to hear what some of you folks with more experience in Remys (or rifles in general) have to share.
What happened to the left hand rifle??
Nice gun I have a 700 hundred in 22-250 thinking of that gun in doesn't get much use hmmmmm.:confused:
Dang Diggs. What a flippin' nightmare. :eek: All I can say is that thing better be a tack driver.
I don't think another Remy will ever be on my mind. :( That actually really hurts me. . . I guess I owe them one more phone call and hopefully get an explanation in return. I LOVE American Firearms!!! There's WAY too much competition for them to treat their folks like this.
As always I wish my gun well, but I also wish this scenario much luck, not for myself only, but many others to come
To be honest, it sounds like a lot of run around for a 700 but I'm glad you finally got it all taken care of. I hope that thing is a great shooter for all that hassle.
My gun smith say remington has gone to sh!t and has for the last 2years
Let me see if I have this straight. You buy a rifle and take it home, get drunk and proceed to work on a trigger that the factory recommends you don't touch. It breaks and you demand they fix it. Okay, sounds about right. There's nothing to adjust on a standard Remington trigger that would result in a broken trigger like that.

text: I remember going to a friends house. He was watching LOST, which I heard was about a group of people on a stranded island. The first scene I saw was a few men inside the hatch, which I thought was far fetched. Then at the end of the episode I saw Jack refusing to let Locke enter a code, which resulted in the time counter going crazy, showing hyrogliphics. I knew nothing about what was going on but my heart was about to pound out of my chest while watching that scene. I was then sucked in. When were YOU sucked in?

Animal Drug Testing
Animal drug testing is basically animal abuse and it needs to be stopped. There are many ways to stop animal drug testing. We can help by not buying products and or have an organization that support it. We can help by not selling things that are tested on animals or donate money to animal drug testing laboratories. We can help stop it by starting a petition, rasie money to help save lives, protest, we could start a campaign online and get other people involved.
When I look at this picture I stop and think, "there is so many ways we can help stop this but yet nobody ever does." This is not as sad and depressing as it gets. It is even worse than what you could ever imagine. These poor and innocent creatures are having food shoved down there throat 24/7, liquids going in through there nose, vaccines that are not safe, they are being opened up and inside their bodies drugs are being placed. These animals suffer so much until one day they can't handle it anymore and they die.
This video shows the suffering of animals that are in this position. They are not humans but yet they feel the same pain and bleed the same blood as us. Animals are being tortured and abused everyday. If it's wrong to abuse and torture a child what's the difference with animals?

Germany, WWI and WWII: War devastates the lives of ordinary citizens. While the country's face was changing and men died in battle by the millions, the women's psyche and role was also changing. Ursula Meister, an insatiably curious child, has an innate sense of independence and is a keen observer. Coming-of-age after the end of WWII, Ursula's sense of self is adversely affected by her mother, a beautiful but repressive, insensitive, punishing woman. Ursula longs for her father, a soldier in the German army who is absent during her formative years. However, when he finally returns, she feels estranged. Finding solace in listening to family tales through her Aunt Lidia's storytelling, Ursula learns of the women before her who survived hardships more severe than hers. Faced with war time's extreme insecurity, but equipped with intelligence and strength, Ursula must find for herself her true beliefs, her worth, and eventually her freedom and independence. Uta Christensen writes a poignant and engrossing coming-of-age story and family saga that explores the emotional boundaries of family dynamics-in the lives, loves, losses, and joys of three generations-and the strength of the women bearing the brunt of tragedy. A beautiful and compelling read, Bed of Roses, Bed of Thorns will stay with you long after the final page is read. Uta Christensen published her first novel, Caught Midstream, in 2006; her father's memoir in 2005; and is currently working on her next novel. Ms. Christensen was raised in Germany and resided in Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. She now lives in Santa Cruz, California.

Toco Toucan
By: Mike Jones
What is Taxonomy?
Taxonomy is the science of classification with organisms using systematics. There are 7 taxon levels . The levels are called taxon and the levels in order are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. All organisms are named using a 2 part system: called genus and species.
Taxonomy of a Toucan?

Where are the Toco Toucans found?
The Life of a Toco Toucan
The Toco Toucan is the largest of the toucans. They measure roughly around 25 inches. The beak is 1 third of the birds total length and it measures at about 8 inches. This beautiful bird is mostly recognized by the colorful beak of course. The beak is not as heavy as it appears, it is made up of protein keratin and air pockets.
These extravagant birds live in the rainforests of South America. Here several of these wonderful birds are found living together in a hollow. Now while they are living there they lay about 2-4 eggs per year (I assume the female lays the eggs). It now takes both parents to incubate the eggs which take about 16-20 days. Once they hatch, both parents continue to provide care to the young. The baby toucans aren't born with an excessively large beak, it develops over time. The live up to 20 years.
