Executive Summary
Case for Action
Current Tools, Technology, and Programs Need to be Used More Effectively
Better Tools, Technology, and Policy Needed for Managing Risk Conservation as Risk Management
Executive Summary
This report summarizes the conclusions and recommendations developed during a Soil and Water Conservation Society workshop held to (1) evaluate the scope and magnitude of the conservation challenges and environmental threats posed to the Great Lakes ecosystem by upward trends in the amounts and intensities of precipitation and (2) recommend improvements to conservation tools, approaches, and policies to meet those challenges and to manage those threats.
Participants agreed that there is growing evidence that the climate of the Great Lakes region is changing in ways that are likely to increase nonpoint source pollution from agricultural watersheds. Climate models suggest these changes are likely to continue and potentially intensify in the future.
Workshop participants were particularly concerned that increased probability and severity of erosion, runoff, and pollution were occurring at the same time that demands on our soil, water, and agricultural watersheds are increasing. Demand for food, fiber, land, and water are increasing with population, and the emphasis on increasing production of energy from biomass will dramatically intensify the demands placed on soil, water, and agricultural resources. More intensive and effective conservation efforts are already needed to ensure that we meet these increased demands while sustaining our natural resources and ecosystems. Climate change will multiply the challenges conservationists face.
Indeed, workshop participants were concerned that current conservation efforts are not keeping up with increasing pressure on agricultural watersheds. They thought that climate change could spark a "downward spiral" caused by self-reinforcing changes in soil erosion, hydrologic cycles, and aquatic ecosystems. They worried that risks are likely to increase from climatic, demographic, and food and energy production stresses, making the status quo level of conservation on agricultural landscapes progressively less protective.
Priorities for Immediate Action
Workshop participants recommended as a first priority to make better use of current conservation tools, systems, and programs. Four opportunities are particularly promising:
1. Focus more attention in planning and program implementation processes on currently well-understood practices that reduce damage from concentrated flow.
2. Focus more attention in planning and program implementation processes on protecting or repairing stream and riparian corridors.
3. Use current models and monitoring systems to identify high-risk and high-value tributary watersheds that would benefit from focused conservation efforts.
4. Update climatic parameters used in conservation tools and planning approaches to include the most recent data and ensure that routine and periodic updates are completed in the future.
Action to take advantage of the first three opportunities is urgently needed to address existing threats to the Great Lakes under the current climate regime. The likelihood of increasing frequency, intensity, and magnitude of severe storms makes action on these three opportunities even more urgent.
Gaps and Challenges Needing to be Addressed
Participants strongly agreed that the single most important barrier to more effective use of current tools and conservation systems is a technical support and assistance network that is weak and growing weaker. All participants agreed that inadequate technical support and assistance networks will cause lasting damage to our efforts to respond to current challenges, let alone the growing challenge created by climate change.
Participants also stressed the need for better monitoring systems. Managing the risks of severe storms requires monitoring systems that can detect such events in the context of long-term time series and document their effects at appropriate temporal and spatial scales. A research and development effort should be mounted to develop and deploy affordable monitoring systems and technologies and to establish and maintain a regional data warehouse that will provide conservationists with the information needed for effective adaptive management.
Better Tools, Technology, and Policy Needed for Managing Risk
Conservation planning inherently involves making decisions about what level of probability and severity of damage to natural resources or the environment is acceptable, and what combination of practices and activities is sufficient to keep the probability and severity of damage at or below that acceptable level. The need for an explicitly risk-based approach to planning is made more urgent by the increased probability of more frequent and more severe storm events.
Planning tools designed to develop recommendations for conservation efforts at field, farm, and watershed scales can and should be developed that are capable of predicting and reporting the probability of damage from a particular storm event as well as from annual precipitation. Those tools should be able to be tailored to specific times of the year. Workshop participants were clear that all factors in a changing climate must be considered when doing risk-based assessments, planning, and implementation.
The ultimate goal of risk-based conservation planning and implementation should be to increase the capacity of agricultural landscapes to resist and recover from severe events. Greater resistance and resilience in agricultural landscapes is best achieved through conservation systems composed of multiple and mutually-reinforcing practices and activities implemented at various scales. Conservation tillage, for example, must be backed up with grassed waterways, contour grass strips, filter strips, riparian buffers, and other appropriate and feasible measures on a particular farm in a particular watershed. This layered or multitiered approach to conservation builds in redundancy that helps resist the effect of an infrequent but potentially damaging severe event.
Managing Risk at the Field and Farm Scales
Participants agreed that we cannot meet today's challenges—particularly the off-farm effects on water quality and aquatic ecosystems—without dealing effectively with concentrated flow. Among the most troubling effects of increased precipitation intensity on runoff and soil erosion will be beginning shifting the dominant processes causing damage from sheet and rill erosion to concentrated flow erosion in ephemeral or permanent gullies. Developing and implementing tools to enable conservationists to predict and manage the risks created by concentrated flow should receive high priority for adapting to a climate regime with increased probabilities of severe storms.
Participants also want to better understand at what point and under what kind of storm events do conservation practices begin to fail and what the consequences of that failure are. Current tools do not address failure, or, if they do, the assumption is that failure causes no further damage than the amount that would have been experienced if the practice was not in place. Experience, however, indicates that, in some cases, practice failure may result in greater damage than would have occurred if the practice had not been in place.
Managing Risk at the Watershed Scale
Participants argued that working at the watershed or landscape scale is the only way to deal with the off-site effects in agricultural watersheds. Conservationists "have to connect the dots—make sure our work on farms adds up—that the sum of our efforts is greater than the parts."
Working at the watershed scale opens up opportunities to plan and implement different strategies that complement and increase the benefits of in-field practices. Strategies to restore wetlands, repair stream channels, and enhance riparian corridors are best implemented at the watershed scale and will reinforce the benefits of work at the farm scale if the efforts are effectively targeted and coordinated.
The most compelling advantage of working at the watershed scale is the ability to "focus for effect" to direct conservation efforts at the most vulnerable parts of the landscape and during the most vulnerable times of the year. Workshop participants were particularly optimistic about the opportunity to manage risk associated with watershed-scale erosion and sediment loading through improved targeting because advances in information technology are making such targeting easier, more affordable, and more accessible to conservationists, producers, and policymakers.
Workshop participants also recommended that we maximize the communication value of new targeting tools and models to help citizens better understand the causes and effects of environmental problems in their watershed and thereby to inform and communicate problem identification and decision making. The social and economic implications of the consequences of severe storms and of alternative risk management options need to be made clear, as do the physical and ecological consequences.
Advances in Programs and Policies
Participants discussed the need for programmatic and policy changes that will require more long-term attention to support risk-based assessment, planning, and implementation of conservation efforts to improve the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem.
Public policy must ensure a long-term commitment of people and resources to community-driven projects at the watershed scale. The more traditional approach of providing short-term, three- to five-year grants to communities will not work. Sustained effort and support must be available to build the local infrastructure—leadership, technical support, and monitoring systems—essential to making effective adaptive management possible. Innovative funding systems need to be developed and tested to provide sustained support to community-driven watershed projects.
More effective conservation assessment and planning tools will accomplish little, according to workshop participants, unless we find effective ways to increase the use and implementation of conservation systems and to target implementation at the most critical portions of farms and watersheds. Conservation programs must take into account the realities of current farm structure and land tenure. Landowners, producers, and increasingly farm management consultants are joint decision makers when it comes to implementing conservation practices and systems. Incentives programs must become more adept at directing the right incentives to the right decision maker.
The opportunity to develop regulatory systems that are innovative and well suited for agriculture is great. One of the most important roles for regulation is to set performance standards both at the farm and watershed levels. To the maximum extent possible, regulations should be based on performance rather than practice standards. Regulations should clearly tell producers what they need to accomplish, but producers and their technical advisors should have the flexibility to determine how to accomplish it.

And the converse is also true: that books which purport to be displays only of photography are often not fit to be published as books. Most usually, these fall into a category I think of as 'project books'. A photographer has an idea for a formula which can generate some pictures. He makes enough of them to fill a book. He gets a book. He is proud to be the author of something which nobody else cared about in the first place, which nobody much gets to see, and of which second-hand book dealers will struggle to sell even the paltry number of copies in existence for the next fifteen years. We all know – we all own ! – books like this. But photography is a way of communicating. It deals in facts, and it deals in ideas. If your facts are banal and you're bereft of ideas, you may well not have a photograph at all. You certainly won't have a book of them. - Francis Hodgson, 'The Sound of One Hand Clapping'
Personal and creative fulfillment are perfectly valid motivations for self-publishing a photography book. Sure, maybe only a handful of people will actually see it, but who cares? How does that possibly harm serious minded photography and its pursuit of discovering canon worthy work?
I think Jonathan Blaustein put it best when he said:
I believe we need more Art, not less. More people out there making cool shit, pushing their brains sideways, and hopefully eliciting interesting questions from the people who look at it. More public support for the Arts will lead to more monkeys typing away, which of course will lead to a more intelligent society. Make it so.
The ease and affordability of self-publishing allows people who might otherwise be excluded from the game to pursue their ideas and passions. I don't understand how this can be seen as anything but positive. And honestly, it's sort of silly to debate. It doesn't matter how many commentators take to their blogs (self-publishing!) to criticize self-publishing, it's not going to stop it because most people aren't paying attention to anything they have to say anyway, they're just going to keep sending those files to Blurb and Magcloud. (Note: I'm not refuting Hodgson, in fact I agree with much of what he says. I'm just saying that often people criticize self-publishing through social media which is, you know, a form of self-publishing)
I'd rather not focus on that aspect though because it's not what interests me most about self-publishing. What I'm interested in understanding are the motivations for pursuing photography and self-publishing. In a private forum, "I wondered whether people will take you seriously unless you're committed to earning a living as an artist or photographer."
I'm not sure they will when it comes to photography because the terms amateur and hobbyist have been become poisonous these days. Generally they're just easy scapegoats for the ills of the photography industry or added to the litany of reasons why photography is dead. The fact is though that most people are going to end up making their living from something other than photography.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here though. I think most intelligent people realize that good work can come from people with a multitude of backgrounds and perspectives. I guess my point is that I think there's value in pursuing work that doesn't aim for commercial value or validation in the fine art or documentary photography world.
I'm trying to avoid being overly cynical but it really seems that these days there's an unhealthy obsession with the economics of photography and status within the community (whichever community you find yourself in). It just seems like too many people are motivated by either economics or receiving validation from the right people. The internet exacerbates this problem because the currency of the web is attention and recognition. It's not exactly the best medium for contemplation.
Like I said, I'm really interested in motivation, passion and dedication. Why are you making photographs? What are you thinking about? I find that many people can't answer these questions. It's hard, I know, but at some point you need to be able to do it.
I'm going to take my editor hat off for a moment and speak as a photographer. I've spent the last six years making photographs, educating myself, connecting with other like minded people, and generally allowing myself to be completely consumed by photography. It's been a magical six years and an unbelievable journey.
So, what's my motivation? Photography is personally and creatively fulfilling. I need no other rewards. The process and everything about it satisfies my soul at the most primal level. It's a great a moment when you arrive at this stage. The sense of freedom is liberating. Certainly most of what you're going to create is going to be banal and forgettable but as long as you're alive and capable, you can keep on trying, and keep on making more photographs.
I'm in the process of editing a book a photographs I made in California between 2006 and 2008. I'm going to self-publish it. I don't care if people ignore it. I have to do it. I have to satisfy my creative urge and finish what I started. The creative process and all the work I've done these last 6 years is the reward.
Naturally, all of this can also come off as completely narcissistic and self-indulgent. That's fair. There's plenty of truth in that but given the amount of vacuous, pointless art that exists in the world, I'm not sure there's much to worry about in that regard. The beauty of photography is that it's so pervasive these days that it can almost literally (if Google has its way) cover all perspectives. That's something to celebrate. So is self-publishing. Let's keep cranking out the books and zines, and putting work out into the world. Let history and time figure out the rest.

The tumultuous saga of the M.V. Jadran, a former party boat and seafood restaurant anchored in the middle of Toronto's waterfront — known locally as "Captain John's" — finally came to an end Thursday as the Federal Court approved its sale to an Aurora holding company.
John Sbrolla, director of North American Seafood Exchange, purchased the 90-metre mouldy vessel for $33,501 on behalf of his brother James, who he says will manage the ship. The sale was under the court-ordered condition that the boat would be removed by Aug. 22.
The boat's previous owner, Ivan "John" Letnik (or "Captain John") was in court Thursday for the proceedings. The Toronto Port Authority owns the water lot where it is docked, but has licensed the spot to Mr. Letnik until now.
"It's not very easy, but I have very little choice but go along," he said after the sale. "Since Waterfront Toronto was born, they wanted to get rid of me, dismantle me out of the harbour. I was the first one in the harbour way back in '69."
The floating eatery, which Justice Glennys McVeigh described as the "heart and soul of [Mr. Letnik's] life," closed in 2012 when the city cut off its water supply.
It has been docked at the foot of Yonge Street since 1975, but Mr. Letnik has wracked up a series of unpaid municipal taxes and utility fees and an outstanding balance with the city at $741,955.72, which he has challenged in court.
Mr. Sbrolla was the highest of three bidders.
Sherriff Aylmer Gribble read aloud Captain John's appraisal value, which reached just over $600,000 before subtraction costs for its disposal. This included $125,000 for rust and waste, $500,000 to cut up the ship, $50,000 to tow it and $25,000 for insurance. The "conservative" estimates total close to $725,000, giving the ship a negative value of -125,000.
Mr. Sbrolla declined to comment. His brother, who was out of town Thursday, has not indicated his plans.

When looking for a mate, people don't just look for a good match;
they look for someone better than themselves. And the tendency is
especially strong among women.
A study by Steven Clark, assistant professor at Utah Valley State
College, asked 53 men and 86 women to rate themselves and their ideal
partner on 19 traits ranging from honesty to expected income. Although
both men and women rated themselves highly compared to their peers-seeing
themselves as nearly ideal partners-both sexes looked for someone even
more impressive in a mate. Women proved especially picky, seeking a
partner better than themselves in 15 of the 19 categories.

In just three years, Krystina Alabado has performed in a national tour of "Spring Awakening" and made her Broadway debut in Green Day's "American Idiot."
Alabado, a 22-year-old Chandler native, never expected to be a professional actress this fast but is grateful for all of the opportunities. She'll perform with the national tour of "American Idiot," which stops Tuesday at Arizona State University's Gammage Auditorium.
"So many people spend their whole lives trying to achieve Broadway and these tours, so I'm thankful to be where I am today," Alabado said.
"American Idiot" is a musical based on a concept album of the same name by Grammy Award winning rock band Green Day. The story revolves around three teenage boys and their lives, as they are forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia.
Green Day's catalog of hits in the musical include "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday" and the title track.
The show opened on Broadway in April 2010 and ran almost a year for 422 performances. The show won two of its three Tony Award nominations.
"It's truly a rock opera and an amazing piece of art," Alabado said. "Not only that, but it's a story that I know everyone can relate to because it's about life, and young people are experiencing it now and the older generation has gone through it already."
During the last half of the run in New York, Alabado made her Broadway debut in the ensemble alongside Green Day's lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, who portrayed one of the leads for a number of shows.
"Making my Broadway debut was unbelievable and everything that I could have asked for, then to do it with someone I've heard on the radio was nothing short of amazing," Alabado said.
Then Alabado joined the national tour of "American Idiot."
Before joining "American Idiot," Alabado was in the ensemble and an understudy for the first national tour of "Spring Awakening."
Shortly before that, Alabado had finished a year at ASU as a musical theater major before her career took off to the next level. She also worked at a number of community theaters in the Valley and made her professional debut at Phoenix Theatre.
At 19, she auditioned for the "Spring Awakening" tour, got the part and hasn't looked back. Alabado has performed some work with Yale Repertory Theatre and also made her off-Broadway debut in a show as well.
But for now, she's enjoying life on the road again in "American Idiot."
"I love touring because there is never a dull moment, and I've met some of the coolest people," she said. "I really do miss home though and try to get here at least one or two times a year and can't wait to see my family once we stop in Tempe."
Being on Broadway and in national tours has been hard work for Alabado, but she encourages aspiring actors and actresses to "keep at it."
"It's tough, but keep honing your craft and be ready for every audition," she said. "I'm lucky how so many things worked out for me."
What: "American Idiot," the musical based on a concept album of the same name by rock band Green Day.
When: April 24-29.
Where: Gammage Auditorium, corner of Mill Avenue and Apache Boulevard on the main campus of Arizona State University in Tempe.
Tickets: Tickets start at $23.50.
Information: (480) 965-3434 or www.asugammage.com.

Kasem helped to improve minority portrayals on TV
Re "America's voice is mourned" (June 16):
Not only did Casey Kasem lend his radio broadcast voice to delivering the weekly "American Top 40" programs, he also worked tirelessly to promote positive minority portrayals on television and film.
In the mid l990s, I had the good fortune to join Casey and other advocates in their quest to eliminate the constant under-representation and negative roles affixed to minorities on network television. His stalwart commitment to the cause appeared undeniably noble and equally unrelenting.
The global community has lost a great treasure — a man of integrity and purpose.

District must be part of solution in labor dispute
Re "LBCC grads overshadow labor tension" (Editorial, June 16):
Yes, there are happy graduates, and yes, there is labor tension at Long Beach City College. The teachers want to come to a solution. The teachers have asked the district to keep talking to us until we reach an agreement. But the district doesn't want to talk to us and has decided on its own that we are at an impasse and must go through the process that could lead to a strike.
This action, to cut off dialogue, is not good for teachers, students, the community or the college. Can't we keep talking until we make a deal we can all live with?

Carbon tax would clean the air, produce jobs
Re "Carbon fee offers win-win solution for global warming" (Commentary, June 15):
We're clearly past the point where individual action will be enough to meaningfully address climate change. Government regulations like the Environmental Protection Agency rules and subsidies won't be enough on their own. The problem is global.
Many newspaper editorial boards across the country have taken editorial positions favoring a carbon fee and dividend plan. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg favored such a plan in 2007. It was also advocated by the late Nobel laureate economist Gary Becker. But I've never seen hard numbers like those reported by papers covering the Regional Economic Model Inc.
A carbon tax would clean the air and produce jobs. It also would encourage other countries to follow suit with border tariffs assessed on countries which don't follow our lead.
— Mark Tabbert, Newport Beach
Carbon-tax proposal raises all kinds of concerns
Re "Carbon fee offers win-win solution for global warming" (Commentary, June 15):
Writer Cher Gilmore notes that a fee of $10 per ton of carbon dioxide a fuel will emit when burned — increased by $10 per ton each year — will provide monetary benefits to all citizens. One share per adult, and a half share to each child, limited to two children. I would think that the children's share would be placed in a bank account, perhaps a government bond fund, until they are old enough to handle money responsibly.
I am concerned. How exactly do you measure a ton of gas? Also the respiration rate of humans, the exhalation of CO2, not to exclude methane type emissions produced by those who eat broccoli, for instance, possibly contribute more CO2. Should these folks receive a full share of the fees?
— Fred Dickinson, Downey

text: Hey guys... New to the forum, been reading a bunch mostly. I live in Northern Ontario, and am building my first smokehouse, and had a couple quick questions. I only plan to cold smoke meat, and where I am from it is mostly slabs of beef, and ground beef sausages. We usually brine the slabs fr 2-3 weeks, and smoke it every 2-3 day for another 2 weeks. My smokehouse dimensions are 6feet x 5 feet x 11 feet high. And I have a old stove for a firebox that I wanted to use that is about 30" x 20" wide and 30" high. There is a hole in the back of the firebox that to the centre 24" off the ground My first question would be; would it be ok to put a elbow pointed downward to the ground and then run a straight pipe upward to the smokehouse. Would there be enough draft this way? The reason I want to do this is the hole on the back of my stove (firebox) is 24" above the ground and the floor of the smokehouse is 12" off the ground, and I would like to run the pipe underneath the floor in the centre of the smokehouse. Would this work? Second question; what distance do you guys think I need to keep the firebox away from the smokehouse..? Here are some pics of the project in progress. Ill get some better pics in the morning. Let me know what you guys think?!!

LPGA rules prohibit players from turning pro and making money on the tour until after their 18th birthday, unless a special exemption is granted.
Pressel will be a senior this fall at St. Andrew's School in Boca Raton, Fla. She turns 18 next May.
After shooting a 1-under 70 in Thursday's opening round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic - which she entered on a sponsor's exemption - Pressel said she and her family had deliberated for a long time before deciding to give up her amateur status.
"A lot of thought went into that. I think it's the right thing for me to do and I feel that I'm ready," Pressel said Thursday.
Pressel said she anticipated hearing back from the LPGA within the next two weeks.
"I think that I belong and that I can play, so I guess we'll have to wait and see," she said.

Very beautiful view and capture! The light in clouds are beautiful!
Wonderful reflection on sea!
The fisherman's silhouette seems so good.
Very well composed.
I've learned that horizantal scenic photos are better than vertical ones.Try to take horizantal scenic views.
It's also very beautiful right now, I can't imagine how could it be in horizantal frame.

Oldest Gymnast: 86-year-old Johanna Quaas sets world record (Video)
COTTBUS, Germany--Gymnast Johanna Quaas, 86, performed an impressive parallel bar and floor demonstration after finals concluded at Germany's Cottbus Challenger Cup
- setting the new world record for the Oldest Gymnast,
according to World Record Academy: www.worldrecordacademy.com/.

The Guinness world record for the oldest person to perform a backflip is Walter Liesner (Germany, b. 14 January 1913) who was 94 yr 268 days when he performed a backflip into a swimming pool, in Wetzlar, Germany.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest parallel bars display, achieved by 343 participants at an event organised by Turnverein Sulz (Switzerland) in Sulz, Switzerland.
(enlarge photo)
Displaying balance, strength and flexiblity that would be the envy of someone a quarter her age, Quaas's floor routine included a handstand forward roll, cartwheel, backward roll and headstand while on the bars she performed a full planche, holding her body taught and parallel to the ground.
A multiple time senior champion of artistic gymnastics in Germany, Quaas, from Halle in Saxony only took up gymnastics when she was 30, putting paid to the belief that the sport is the preserve of the young.

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by mexican_texan, Dec 16, 2006.
Vick sucks.
Second defensive TD of the game. Maybe Romo isn't the next Vince Young after all.
What's going on... Vick at RB? They should utilize that package at least two series per game as long as Schaub is on their roster.
Oh this is good...I think the Cowboys are imploding...
Schaub should be the quarterback. Vick should be used like Reggie Bush. Slot receiver/H-Back type.
Wow...D-Hall should check his jersey for hot spots....
DHall just got PWND
I hate both of these teams. I can't decide who I want to win.
What channel is the game on?
NFL Network
NFL Network
21-21 at half. Good game.
Vick 6-10-121, 3 TD, 1 INT
Romo 11-15-132, 2 TD, 1 INT
TO 2 TDs
Morten Anderson - set the all time scoring mark
Neither team is running the ball well.
Thankfully, they replaced Vermeil in the booth - he was sick and had no voice. Kind of annoying. They replaced him with Faulk and Deion. This ought to be interesting.
Since I'm the only guy in the universe that actually likes Vick, I'll repeat myself. He's got the same TD-INT that Manning had at this point in his career, and he throws for as many TD's per attempt as Manning does now. He's also going to rush for 1000 yds, and lead the league in ypc by a full 2 yards.
4th TD pass for Vick....
About to be 28-21 Falcons
A few plays ago on a designed rollout, Vick got pounded on the sideline by Roy W. He's been taking some serious shots tonight.
He's skinny again this year... evidently he thinks he's better when he's skinny and thinks he can avoid more blows. It's not as if McNabb carrying around that extra weight has made him more durable.
I'd take Vick ... and draft Peterson . Along with AJ and Mathis our offense would be quick .
I think there was a thread on this in the Texans forum and the overwhelming response was "we don't want Vick". Dude's got a 74 QB rating, has 19 tds and 11 INTs, and will run for 1100+ yds. ATL won't ever trade him. He's the most talented guy to ever step on a football field (don't confuse that with best).
HA HA now Cowboys fans will know what we go through as Texans fans when our games aren't shown on TWC.....ha ha ha ha
I really like how Barber runs the ball. He and Maroney were in the same backfield in college....
31 - 28 Cowboys.
Deion is actually doing a pretty good job as emergency fill in analyst.
Atlanta's might trade Vick ... Shaub ( sp ) the highly touted backup is ready and a restricted FA .
Remember Vick flew his birdy to Atlanta .
Separate names with a comma.

common garden skink
Garden skinks rely purely on the movement of their prey when hunting. If their prey is not moving, they will not see it as edible and will not strike. When hunting, the skinks will either hide and wait for prey to come by or actively pursue it (this depends on how hungry they are). Once they have caught their prey, they shake it around vigorously to kill it before swallowing it whole. Once they have had one meal, they begin to actively pursue prey for a short while with their newfound energy. The skinks only need one prey item per 4 or 5 days, but will eat every day if conditions are good. They are often seen under leaves and long grass so that they can watch their prey. As all reptiles are cold blooded, you may see them on top of rocks or paths in the morning trying to warm their blood. Cats prey on lizards meaning you may have a lot of dead lizards in your house (if you have a cat and if it hasn't eaten them.) Skinks enjoy large areas with a lot of leaves and soft dirt.
The Common Garden Skink or Pale-flecked Garden Sunskink (Lampropholis guichenoti) is a small common skink often seen in suburban gardens in Melbourne, Australia, but is common across most of Southern Australia and some of New South Wales. It grows to a maximum of 14 cm, but rarely exceeds 9 cm. The females lay about six eggs in a communal clutch, which may contain as many as 250 eggs altogether. Like most other skinks, the tail will drop if grasped roughly. The tail then twitches vigorously for a while, to hold the attention of the predator while the lizard makes its escape. Garden skinks feed on small invertebrates including crickets, moths, slaters, earthworms, flies, grubs and caterpillars, grasshoppers, cockroaches, earwigs, small spiders, and many others.

Special education laws are federally mandated rules that ensure that students with special learning needs receive the proper services to assist them in school. Unfortunately, special education laws are continually being challenged, and amended at the federal level.
It is important to realize that these laws give children with disabilities and their parents important rights. Specifically, the federal Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) gives families of special education children the right to:
● have their child assessed or tested to determine special education eligibility and needs
● inspect and review school records relating to their child
● attend an annual "individualized education program" (IEP) meeting and develop a written IEP plan with representatives of the local school district, and
● resolve disputes with the school district through an impartial administrative and legal process.
Eligibility Under IDEA
Every school district is legally required to identify, locate, and evaluate children with disabilities (20 U.S.C. §1412(a)(3)). After the evaluation, the district may provide the child with specific programs and services to address special needs.
IDEA defines "children with disabilities" as individuals between the ages of three and 22 with one or more of the following conditions:
• developmental delay
• intellectual disability
• deaf-blindness (including deafness or hearing impairment)
• speech or language impairment
• visual impairment (including blindness)
• emotional disturbance
• orthopedic impairment
• autism
• traumatic brain injury
• specific learning disability, or
• other health impairment
For a child to qualify for special education under IDEA, it is not enough to have one of these disabilities. There must also be evidence that the disability adversely affects your child's educational performance.
In both 2005 and 2006 important changes were made to IDEA. With changes being made to Special Education Laws, if you have a student in special education, it is important to stay abreast of the changes and how they may affect your child.

It popped bigger in my mind when I got here than I had played it over the last couple of days, so I'm excited." Hopefully, he wasn't too excited to remember George Clooney's words of wisdom about wearing big shoes to make up for the cement shrinking as it dries.

Deonte - One of a Kind
As you'd expect from a fella who attracts female stares like a magnet does iron filings, Deonte's got some lofty standards when it comes to potential romantic interests: if you want to grab his attention, you've got to be One of a Kind. An aura of shyness and mystery can't hurt either, as evidenced by the Georgia native's Booth debut, which finds him instantly drawn to a girl he sees sitting at a distance from the crowd, all on her lonesome. Over the dreamy synths and handclap-driven percussion of beatsmith Dre Norris, Deonte does his damnedest to convince the hesitant shawty to, "...take a chance with your boy and see." While it isn't revealed whether or not Deonte succeeds in winning over the girl in question, it's hard to imagine her being able to resist his smooth vocal runs and airy falsetto. If you find yourself seduced by the artist's masterful game-spitting, you can find plenty more where this came from on Deonte's self-titled EP, released this past January and available now online.

Author: Rick O
(fsub spank bond)
There were only a few friends at the wedding. Family just would not have understood. The bride got all the attention. Not only was Shawna beautiful; she had walked down the aisle with her gloved hands cuffed behind her. She was also deliriously happy. Her bridal veil covered her face, and her white wedding dress was a touch on the modern side - low cut in front to show some cleavage, and the hem touched just below her knees. She had meticulously shaved her legs the night before, and they were supple and smooth. Her bare ankles had leather cuffs around them, though they were not bound together. Right now, it was symbolic.
Yes, it was an unconventional wedding, and she had participated in writing the script for the ceremony. It was replete with phrases about her willing and joyful submission.
Her new husband lifted her veil and saw a very happy and proud woman. Her straight dark hair nicely framed her face and she had tastefully applied lipstick. Her shining eyes conveyed trust and surrender. He drew near, and she lightly puckered her lips. her insides quaked when their lips touched. He pressed in, and the nonverbal message that he conveyed was that consummation was near. It was what she had been waiting for.
They immediately retreated to the reception. They were both eager to have the reception over with. She wanted to experience the new plateau of submission that he had promised.
Her eagerness stemmed from events several months earlier. Shawna had always been a submissive, with fantasies of being disciplined. Playful spanking with her boyfriend led to heavier things, and when he got her over his lap one time and paddled her hard, her body language (as well as the way she kicked her legs and wiggled) told him that this was likely to be a regular part of their relationship. She recalled the stratospheric orgasm she attained when he first placed his mouth on her brunette pussy after a hard paddling, and how she begged for more.
He was also unusual in another way. He refrained from vaginal intercourse, telling her that he would do that when they were married, but not before. It was, to him, a dominance thing. Neither of them were virgins - he at 29 years old, and she at 27, had both had several past lovers. They did engage in sex play - there was no doubt in Shawna's mind of his virility when his cock erupted in her mouth and she swallowed pulse after pulse of hot semen. She had begged him to fuck her, and had come close to breaking down his will to refrain on a few occasions. Her delectable pussy, framed by shapely hips and willowy smooth legs, almost got him to plunge inside her. But at the last minute he brought his will to the fore, and instead turned her over and severely leathered her backside with a strap.
She kept begging him to fuck her, and he kept refusing. Finally, he suggested marriage and she happily accepted.
The bondage became more intense. Many times he tied her spread-eagled on the bed and drove her half crazy with his mouth on her pussy. This was inevitably followed by a spurting ejaculation in her mouth or all over her breasts. He loved seeing her lips close around his meaty erection, and her eyes - those excited eyes always brought him off sooner than he wanted.
She readily agreed to his ideas of a "bondage wedding", where she would be bound as much as practicable during the ceremony and reception. About two weeks prior to the ceremony, he told her that on their wedding night she would be whipped before the consummation. He also told her how he was going to take her: "After you've been whipped, you'll be tied down on the bed. I'm going to savagely fuck you until I'm spent. I'll grasp your hips with my hands and open your pussy. Then I'm going to plunge inside you and have my way with you. You should make sure you're ready to accommodate me like that. Also, I want Jennifer to give you enemas that day until you're completely clean."
Jennifer was a mutual friend, and the woman that Shawna selected as her maid of honor.
The wedding reception also was unconventional by usual standards. Shawna's dress had been pulled down to her waist to expose her breasts; her hands were bound behind her, and the blonde Jennifer helped her eat by feeding her small portions from a fork. When it was time to cut the cake, it was placed in front of Shawna and she clumsily made the first cut by holding the knife handle in her mouth. After they had some cake, the new bridegroom smeared some frosting on Shawna's nipples, causing her to be the center of attention for the remainder of the reception, which she greatly enjoyed.
As the reception wound down, Jennifer recalled with a smile her administering Shawna's enemas that morning. She got explicit directions from Shawna's boyfriend about the number of enemas (two), the nozzle (use a douche nozzle), lubricant (he furnished the lubricant), temperature of the water (100 degrees exactly), and length of retention (5 to 10 minutes). Jennifer almost giggled aloud when she remembered the various faces that Shawna made when receiving the enemas and struggling to hold them. She didn't know exactly why he insisted that she give Shawna the enemas instead of instructing the bride-to-be to give them to herself.
As the reception ended, Jennifer quietly slipped away and performed her next task. About an hour later Shawna and her new husband arrived at the secluded house about 20 miles outside the city limits. The guest house was owned by a woman who was into the bondage scene, and she rented it out for events such as these. The door was unlocked, and Jennifer welcomed them in. Her eyes showed the excitement that the three of them felt.
Shawna's arousal from anticipating the forthcoming consummation resulted in very damp panties. Her husband maintained a stiff erection all the way over to the house.
They entered the spacious bedroom. The large sturdy bed was outfitted with heavy posts at the corners. There were rings and hooks spaced regularly across the ceiling. In one corner of the room was a box with ropes, cords, binding straps, and chains of varying lengths.
"Okay, ladies," the groom said, "It's time for the festivities to begin. Jennifer, please remove all your clothes. Then I want you to get Shawna naked except for her bridal veil."
While the two ladies were occupied, he removed all his clothes. A sturdy erection sprang from his midsection. His raven-haired bride stood before the bed, and her friend Jennifer was by her side. He stared at Jennifer's blonde pussy, then at his bride's naked form.
"Shawna, you are so very beautiful. It's all I can do to resist taking you right now."
She blushed.
"Jennifer, please bind her wrists in a crossed position and stand her halfway between the foot of the bed and the wall, facing me. I'd like her arms raised over her head and secured that way. Have her keep her bridal veil."
He lay on the bed, propped up on several pillows, and watched as Jennifer prepared Shawna. His erection hardened as he took in the arousing spectacle of a beautiful nude and dominant blonde preparing a new submissive bride to be whipped.
Shawna, herself aroused, almost did not feel some of her profuse natural lubricant escape from her pussy and trickle down her thighs.
She presented a delectable sight - nude but for her veil covering her face, and her bound wrists high above her head.
"Now, Jennifer, I want you to whip her between her waist and her knees with the three-thonged martinet."
Jennifer, her vagina now tingling with arousal, fetched the instrument of discipline. She returned holding a beautifully crafted whip. She grasped it by the polished eight inch wooden handle from which emerged three leather strands about eighteen inches each. She walked behind Shawna and positioned herself so that the martinet would cover the maximum area.
The naked and aroused groom nodded to Jennifer. She smiled slightly, drew the whip back, and with her gaze focused on Shawna's buttocks, swung the whip forward and followed through until it had completely swiped across the bound bride's buttocks.
Shawna jerked her midsection forward and threw her head back.
"Aaaaaaaaah! Ahhhhhh!"
Jennifer waited a few seconds and snapped the martinet across the upper part of Shawna's buttocks.
"Aaaaaaah! Ohhhhhhh!" she yelled and twisted in her restraints. She vigorously kicked her legs and pumped her hips in a futile attempt to alleviate the pain.
The striating martinet again swiped across her backside. She yelled louder and kicked vigorously as the cumulative stripes demanded her attention.
Jennifer kept whipping. She pressed her lips firmly together as she got into her role. Shawna begged her new husband to make it stop. She twisted. She kicked. She danced. She bucked. He kept watching, and Jennifer kept whipping.
Finally, he held his hand up, and Jennifer stopped.
A few whip marks were visible from the front where the tails of the martinet had wrapped around Shawna's waist. Her husband got up, went over to her and inserted a finger into her pussy. She gasped, and then squirmed as he worked it around inside her. When he pulled out, his finger was thickly coated with her natural feminine juices. He smeared some on her nipples and then kissed and nibbled on them until the pleasure from it almost overcame the pain from Jennifer's whip.
After a few moments of this, he arranged two pillows in the center of the bed, and asked Jennifer to help get Shawna positioned. The blonde bridesmaid released the restraints, and they led Shawna to the bed. She lay face up, and the pillows under her hips accentuated her attractive midsection. She willingly spread her legs, and her own natural lubricant glistened on her labia. Jennifer tied the bride's wrists well apart, and did the same to her spread ankles.
Jennifer stepped back and stood silently, watching. The feverishly aroused bridegroom climbed on the bed between his bride's spread legs. His meaty erection seeped pre-cum. Her nakedness was accentuated by the bridal veil over her face. Her excited eyes were open wide, and she displayed an aroused smile of anticipation.
He gently lifted the bottom of the veil and exposed his bride's sensuous mouth. His hands went to her hips. He spread the captive bride's labia apart and, resisting for a moment his urge to go ahead and enter her, gazed at the glistening womanhood that was about to receive him.
He guided the tip of his cock to her entrance. She was breathing hard, her mouth wide open, and her hips imperceptibly rose to meet his erection. A short pause, and then he savagely drove his cock into his bride. It brusquely spread her insides apart as he quickly sank it in as far as it would go.
"AAAAAAAAH!" Her exclamation filled the room.
He fell forward and they were chest to chest. Sounds of "Uh! Uh! Uh!" came from both of them as he repeatedly slammed his cock into her pussy. After scarcely a half minute, he spurted uncontrollably. He pressed his mouth on hers and they kissed long and furiously as his ejaculation spurted into her.
After a few moments he pulled out. A string of translucent cream oozed from his raven-haired bride. He asked Jennifer to turn her over and bind her, this time with her legs together.
He took in the delectable sight of his face-down brunette bride, arms spread wide, legs together, hips raised by pillows, with fresh striations from the whip on her waist and buttocks. Jennifer had long since become orgasmically aroused by her participation, and her blonde pussy made it apparent. She sensed what was coming next, picked up a tube of lubricant and handed it to the aroused bridegroom. He spread Shawna's nether cheeks and inserted some lubricant. She squirmed as he did this. Jennifer stood close by - she wanted to observe.
Shawna became frightened when she felt her hind cheeks spread apart, and the tip of her new husband's revived erection at her rear portal as he prepared to enter her.
"Ohhhhh," she moaned as he slowly but firmly pushed in about an inch. His quivering cock stayed there a moment. Then he could not further restrain himself, and with his hands firmly gripping Shawna's waist, sank his cock all the way to the hilt, taking only a few seconds.
"Shawna," he whispered hoarsely. "Shawna, that feels so good!"
"Oh, I feel so full!" she replied.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes! Yes! It's okay... Fuck me. Please fuck me!" She couldn't believe she had uttered those words, particularly in front of Jennifer. In a way, she wished that Jennifer wasn't in the room; and in another way, Jennifer's presence was titillating.
Shawna groaned raucously as the bridegroom's hard cock slithered and snaked in and out. After a moment of getting the right penetration and tempo, he abandoned all restraint. Shawna reacted predictably - open-mouthed shouts, clenched fists, twisting and writhing. As strong male hands tightly gripped her hips, she felt the cock within her become harder and enlarge still more. She knew he was near squirting again. She heard a groan, and the pumping became more frenzied. Her sensitive nerve endings felt every ejaculatory squirt, even as the hard cock continued its relentless pounding. Her outcries became almost continuous throughout the lengthy ejaculation. Finally, he stopped pumping, and settled inside her as far as he could go. They both panted deeply for a moment, and an occasional squirt ejected into her well pounded portal.
He pulled out, and Jennifer asked sweetly, "You're not spent yet, are you?"
"Oh heck no," he said, "I've been saving up for ten days. Next I'm going to do her pussy with her bound as she is."
"Here, let me help get you ready," Jennifer smiled, and grasped his cock with both hands. She lightly touched, stroked, and manipulated the cock until it became erect. Then with a coy smile she let go.
"I think Shawna should pleasure you while I do her," he stated, as if reading her mind. "Go ahead and get yourself situated."
Shawna groaned. Jennifer climbed on the bed and positioned her hips so that her damp mound was directly in front of Shawna's face. Her legs were alongside Shawna's ribs, and her feet were against the sides of the prone bride's hips. Then she grasped the bound bride's face and pulled forward until her pussy lips were almost in contact with Shawna's mouth. Her pussy was damp from arousal, and her labia glistened. She saw the bridegroom prepare to enter.
"Shawna," he said, "You can start working on Jennifer's pussy. She deserves some pleasure for all the help she's given us. Be sure to give her some good orgasms - I'll pleasure her if you don't." With that, he shoved his re-hardened cock into his bride's tight but sloppily wet pussy.
"Ohhhh!" she gasped.
Jennifer gently pressed Shawna's face against her aroused pussy. She shuddered when Shawna's mouth made contact. After some gentle kissing, Shawna became more enthusiastic and licked, kissed, and sucked. The bridegroom's constant thrusting pushed her face against Jennifer's pubic mound with a regular tempo, and Shawna took advantage of that to plant short kisses on her bridesmaid's pussy.
Jennifer gritted her teeth and threw her head back. Then she roughly pulled Shawna's face into her crotch. The thrusting became more intense and Shawna gasped an occasional "Ahh!" when her mouth was not pressed hard against the blonde's pussy. The thrusting bridegroom grasped Jennifer's legs for leverage, and pounded into Shawna. His cock hardened as he approached his third ejaculation.
Softly, Jennifer moaned. Then, increasing in volume, she let herself go and her open-mouthed exclamations penetrated the room. She pumped her hips wildly at the same time that the bridegroom began spurting into Shawna. He exclaimed loudly, and brusquely pounded his bride's pussy as his cock pulsed and throbbed, injecting fresh semen into her.
They rested a few moments. Shawna's pubic area was covered with the blended juices of her own arousal and the recent ejaculations of her new husband; her face was smeared with Jennifer's pussy glaze. Jennifer's pubic area and inner thighs glistened with feminine lubricant and sweat.
They released Shawna's restraints. She appeared weary and at the same time contented - she had been through a lot - the whipping, a good fucking, and orally servicing another woman. She removed her disheveled bridal veil, and even then her raven hair attractively framed her face. They sipped champagne for a while.
The libations increased the excitement of the wedding night, and sexual arousal again permeated their mood.
When Shawna laughed heartily at something said, and lay back on the bed, the bridegroom kissed her; Jennifer, feeling playful, put her hand on Shawna's raven-haired pubic bush and ran her fingers all over the bride's creamy pussy. Shawna moaned sensuously, and Jennifer increased her efforts. It did not take long for the bride to erupt in a tumultuous orgasm.
That gave Shawna's new husband an idea. He told Jennifer to keep on stimulating his bride's pussy. Then he pinned her down at the shoulders and kissed her repeatedly while her friend kept on with the vaginal stimulation. Her reaction was thrilling - between kisses she couldn't keep from open-mouthed exclamations of pleasure, and went through several orgasms over the period of twenty minutes.
Shawna and her husband felt spent, although Jennifer was still excited. The couple drifted off to sleep, and Jennifer decided to rest until she had some word on whether they wanted her to stay. About an hour later she was very tired and since the bed was big, she lay down on it and closed her eyes.
Later she was awakened by a rhythmic motion of the bed. In the dim light she observed Shawna straddling her husband's hips. He was either asleep or lying there with his eyes closed. Shawna had not noticed Jennifer's awakening, and was repeatedly enjoying the full length of her husband's meaty cock. The sight of the bride's sloppily wet pussy being spread apart by the large erection aroused Jennifer beyond words.
Shawna gasped when she saw Jennifer move. She did not stop pumping her hips, though - she was too aroused. Jennifer sat up on the bed and gingerly placed her hands on the beautiful bride's breasts. Shawna opened her mouth and threw her head back, enjoying the sensations. After a few moments Jennifer removed her hands from the bride's breasts, and straddled the prone bridegroom's mouth while facing Shawna.
Shawna's husband opened his eyes and was immediately treated to the sight of Jennifer's pussy, close up. He smiled, and lightly licked the blonde's delectable labia. She knew that she had gotten his attention, and grasped Shawna's shoulders. Jennifer closed her eyes and held onto Shawna as her pussy attracted more enthusiastic kissing.
Shawna smiled when she felt her new husband's cock swelling up within her.
The bridegroom felt the gradual and inevitable buildup of his impending orgasm. He grasped Jennifer's hips and brusquely pulled toward him and firmly planted her pussy on his mouth. He excitedly and forcefully kissed the blonde girl's sloppy and creamy pussy as she moaned aloud. Then he could no longer withstand the intense stimulation. His insides clenched, his cock swelled up, he yelled out, "Unnnnmffff!", and spurted with total abandon inside his new bride while aggressively kissing Jennifer's pussy.
That was enough for Shawna - causing the cock inside her to spew forth after the long ride pushed her over the edge. She ground her hips into his as she exclaimed, knowing that her lover was spurting.
"Dammit, dammit, dammit!" Jennifer exclaimed after Shawna and her new bridegroom finished their orgasmic paroxysms. "I was so close!"
"Shawna," the husband said, "Make Jennifer cum - with your mouth. Jennifer, you have free reign."
Jennifer got on her back and spread her legs. Her creamy pussy radiated sensual heat, and she beckoned Shawna with her finger. Her eyes were wide with excitement, and she moaned when the bride's mouth contacted her pussy.
"Come on, Shawna," Jennifer exclaimed, "Suck my pussy like you mean it!"
She grasped Shawna's head and pulled it toward her pussy.
"Mmmmmmf! Mnnnmmmf!" Shawna uttered in muffled sounds.
Jennifer gritted her teeth and kept Shawna's face between her legs. Her lust consumed her as she thought of the ways she had dominated Shawna that night, and of the groom's mouth on her pussy. Shawna continued for all she was worth, and in a short time Jennifer treated all present to the sounds and sight of an all-consuming orgasm.
Spent and satiated, the three of them slept soundly until mid-morning. After breakfast at a nearby restaurant, Shawna's new husband asked Jennifer if she would return that evening. He gave her a sealed envelope that he said had instructions. With a knowing smile, Jennifer assured them that she'd be back.
After a leisurely day in which Shawna's new husband sensually teased her to the point of distraction, they had dinner in a small place in a nearby town.
When the newlyweds returned to their lodging, Jennifer was there. She was in a skimpy bikini, and had been sunbathing.
Shawna's husband spoke to his bride.
"Okay, my dear - I want Jennifer to give you an enema. I'll watch, of course, and then you'll get cleaned up while we discuss what to do with you. Jennifer, she's all yours."
Shawna appeared nervous. She concluded that her forthcoming enema meant that there would be more anal play. She also recalled the humiliation of receiving an enema from Jennifer on the morning of her wedding day. This time, her husband was going to be watching!
"Come on, Shawna, let's go to the bedroom."
Jennifer led the way, and turned around when they were in the bedroom.
"All your clothes off, now," she ordered.
While Shawna undressed, her husband also removed his clothing. His cock stood straight out. Shawna's insides tingled with desire - she wanted the be on her back, feeling his cock plunge in and out. She gazed at his cock and visualized healthy spurts of semen being propelled into her aroused womanhood.
Jennifer spread a large towel on the floor in front of the bed.
"Okay, Shawna - kneel down on the towel with your hands behind your back. That's it. Now touch your forehead to the towel. Keep your hands behind your back until I let you up. Good. Now stay there while I prepare your enema."
Jennifer went in the other room while Shawna contemplated her predicament. The bride and her husband heard the sound of running water for a few moments. After a pause, Jennifer returned with a bulging red enema bag. A lubricated douche nozzle protruded ominously from the attached hose.
The new bridegroom walked over to help. He spread Shawna's nether cheeks while Jennifer inserted the nozzle. Shawna gasped at the intrusion. Jennifer looked at his hard erection and smiled. Then she released the hose clamp and started the enema.
Shawna moaned. Then, as the enema relentlessly filled her up, her reaction became more and more spirited.
"Uhhhhh... Ahhhh... OHHHHH! AHHHH! Mmmmmmmmm! Uhnnnnn! Oh-God-I'm-full! Ohhh!"
"Keep your head down, Shawna!" Jennifer encouraged. "Come on - keep your hands behind your back, or I'll tie them together."
Shawna writhed and squirmed. Her struggle with the enema presented an erotic spectacle to her husband and Jennifer. When the enema bag had emptied its payload into the dark-haired bride, Jennifer told her to stay and retain it for a few minutes. Shawna continued to moan and squirm. After several minutes of retention, Jennifer told her to get rid of the enema and to get cleaned up in the shower afterward.
After a considerable while, Shawna returned to the bedroom.
Jennifer had put on a strap-on harness. Its gel probe dangled between her legs. There was no doubt what she was going to do with it.
"Shawna," the bridegroom instructed, "bring the ottoman in here from the other room. Then spread a towel over it."
The nude bride did as instructed.
"Now I want you to put your bridal veil on."
Shawna proudly donned her veil. She was stunningly beautiful.
"Now, position yourself over the ottoman. I want Jennifer to take you with her strap-on."
The beautiful raven-haired bride anxiously knelt before the ottoman and leaned over so that her chest was in contact with the top of it and her bottom was presented and accessible to Jennifer.
The groom sat on the floor in front of Shawna and grasped her face in both hands. "Spread your legs so Jennifer can get at you," he instructed. Shawna opened her knees.
"Okay, Jennifer - give it to her in the tail - and give it to her good."
Jennifer knelt between Shawna's spread legs and inserted lubricant into Shawna's back portal. She did that three times to ensure that she was well lubricated back there. Then she generously lubricated her own strap-on probe. She was aroused at her imminent use of it on the submissive bride before her.
Shawna pressed her lips together when she felt Jennifer spread her vulnerable nether cheeks. Her eyes opened wide when she felt the tip of the tool against her portal. She silently opened her mouth when Jennifer pushed the tip of the probe into her about an inch.
Then Jennifer worked the probe into Shawna by giving short strokes, going in a little deeper with each one. Shawna whimpered at first, and then gave more raucous "Aaaah!" sounds.
Her husband was aroused almost to distraction. His erection throbbed and seeped while watching his new bride get taken in the tail with a strap-on. Jennifer now gave long, deep strokes, and Shawna reacted accordingly, voicing an exuberant "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" with each intrusion and occasionally squirming.
After a few moments Jennifer pulled out and spread more lubricant on her probe, and re-entered Shawna.
"I'm going to go faster, dear," she said, and firmly grasped the bride's hips as she penetrated. Her face showed her excitement and arousal as she worked the probe in all the way. Then she pumped faster and harder. Shawna's eyes widened.
Shawna's husband brought his mouth to hers and pressed in for kisses as she surrendered to Jennifer's spirited fucking. Her cries were muffled from the mouth-to-mouth contact, and her lips felt heavenly to her husband.
After a few moments he released his hold on her and stood up. He walked behind Shawna so that he could see Jennifer pumping the strap-on into her.
"Keep going," he encouraged.
Jennifer pumped harder, and Shawna began to beg for relief.
"Aaaugh! Please! Uhhh! Ohhhh! Please-Please! Ohhhh!"
Jennifer continued her spirited pumping for a while, and finally the groom held up his hand. Jennifer stopped and pulled out.
Shawna panted with relief.
"Stay there, Shawna," her husband instructed. "Now it's my turn."
Jennifer stood in front of the bride and watched while the husband knelt between Shawna's knees as Jennifer had previously done.
The bride's portal was already well lubricated. He spread her nether cheeks, and in an instant he entered her.
He tightly gripped his bride's hips and pumped. Each stroke was complete and full.
"Mmmm! Ahhhh! Oooooh! Ohhhhh! Ahhhhh!"
He pumped faster and harder - and a moment or so later, he erupted inside her and spewed forth the day's erotic tension in his new bride while Jennifer looked on.
"That was good, Shawna," he said. The three of them showered together, and all the touching and mutual affection they felt for each other had them intensely aroused afterward. As they dried off, Jennifer coyly asked the groom, "You're not out of ideas, are you?"
"Not at all," he replied.
He propped some pillows at the head of the bed and positioned himself on one side, face up, partly sitting up. He spread his legs, and his turgid member came to life.
"Jennifer, come lay by my side," he instructed, and she readily complied. "Spread your legs, Jennifer."
Her blonde mat nicely framed her creamy labia.
"Shawna, my dear, I want you to use your mouth to satisfy us - work on Jennifer for a couple minutes, then on me, alternating like that. You can bring her to orgasm, but do not make me ejaculate."
Jennifer's eyes brightened, as did her excited smile. She squirmed in anticipation as Shawna climbed on the bed and prepared to eat pussy. Her mouth made contact, and Jennifer moaned sensuously. After a couple of minutes, she withdrew and turned her oral attention to her husband. She made slurping sounds as she tongued and sucked on his shaft. It excited him to know that his bride's mouth had been on the beautiful blonde Jennifer's pussy and was now wrapped around his cock. Shawna kept up her attentions for a couple of minutes, and then, with a gleam in her eyes, withdrew.
She gave Jennifer an orgasm with her mouth, and then went back to her groom. He desperately wanted to erupt in her mouth as he had done countless times before the wedding. He brought his attention to the fore, and figured that if he could hold out, the rewards would be worth the wait. Shawna serviced them four times each before her husband told her that was enough.
Both women looked to the bridegroom for direction on what was next. He smiled slightly and said, Shawna, put on your wedding dress and bridal veil. Without panties."
Shawna, her insides fluttering, complied, ans when she had done as instructed, her husband spoke to Jennifer.
"Please bind her standing up, with her arms above her, and her ankles about a foot apart. Leave some room in front and behind her. Before you bind her, pull the top of her dress down to her waist. And make sure her knees are bent."
Jennifer silently grasped Shawna by the hand and led her to the center of the unoccupied area of the room, as a governess would lead her naughty and errant charge. Shawna submitted as Jennifer pulled her wedding dress down to her waist, baring her breasts and back. Then she bound Shawna's wrists and threaded the binding straps through ceiling hooks so that her wrists were spread wide. The bride's knees were bent, and her husband then went behind her and had her step back until her legs were straight. Thus positioned, she was leaning forward with her tail end projected to the rear.
Shawna's husband then inserted his finger in her pussy and probed while she squirmed. After her pussy became creamy and he became erect again, he firmly grasped her hips and entered her. He took long thrusts as his bride became more aroused.
"Okay, Jennifer. Please get the two-thronged martinet and whip her breasts."
"No! Not on the breasts, please!" Shawna begged while her husband pumped his boner in and out.
He stopped pumping and stayed nestled inside his bride when Jennifer retrieved the martinet and stood in front. As he maintained a firm grasp on her hips he nodded at Jennifer. She stepped to one side, pressed her lips together and whipped the martinet firmly across Shawna's bare breasts.
"AAAAAAH!" Shawna shouted, and jerked in her bonds. Jennifer whipped again.
"AAAAAARGH!" She kicked he legs.
Jennifer kept whipping. Shawna shouted and begged. Her furious kicking and attempts to wiggle only stimulated her husband. His hard cock nestled inside her amid her movements had some mitigating effect on her fervent wish that Jennifer would put down the whip.
Jennifer, however, continued to whip. Some of the strokes swiped across the bride's midsection and belly. Shawna's kicking, shouting and writhing eventually brought her husband across the line, and he spurted wildly inside her. Only then did Jennifer's whip cease its striating kisses.
The three of them took another shower together. Soapy hands from each of them wandered about the bodies of the others. Naughty giggles permeated the air. Shawna, at one point, blurted out that she would like to watch her husband fuck Jennifer. It was apparent from his immediate assent that he would oblige his bride, and have some fun with the setting.
None of the three of them put any clothes on after their shower. The lone male in the group rather liked to be naked around two other attractive women, and the women liked to subtly tease him to erection. The thought of being inside Jennifer's pussy kept him almost constantly hard.
After they rested for a while, he spoke. "Jennifer, please bring the double ball gag and several binding straps."
"Uh-oh," Jennifer whispered as she got up. She did not have to use much imagination to figure out how the double ball gag was going to be used.
When Jennifer had fetched the requisite items, Shawna's husband told the two women to kneel on the bed, front to front with their breasts in contact. He noticed that Jennifer willingly opened her mouth to receive one end of the ball gag, and he fastened its binding strap around her head. He had Shawna take the other end in her mouth and he tightened it. The females' mouths were separated by only a few inches, as if locked in a sustained kiss. Next, he placed a pillow between their hips and bound them together at the waist, and then had them lie on the bed so that Jennifer was face down on top of Shawna.
"Spread your legs, girls," he ordered.
Both women moaned through their gags as they spread.
He knelt between the ladies' knees and lightly stroked Jennifer's labia. She moaned sensuously. He noticed that her pussy was profusely lubricated with her own cream.
"Okay, Jennifer, I'm going to go inside you now," he said, and spread apart her labia. He placed the tip of his erection against her vaginal portal and steadily pushed until he was all the way in.
"Mmmmmmmmmf!" she moaned in pleasure.
He pumped continuously while both Jennifer and Shawna moaned and exclaimed through their gags. Since he had ejaculated earlier, he was able to last a considerable while even though he was greatly aroused.
He pumped harder and harder, and finally, amid the excited muffled groans of the two tied women, he spurted wildly inside Jennifer.
Such was the culmination of the honeymoon that the newlyweds and their friend Jennifer enjoyed.
Shawna's husband displayed much more closeness and affection to her when they were by themselves in their own bedroom compared to the times the three of them were together. He liked to lap on her black-haired pussy for extended periods of time and inhale her natural fragrance. This, of course, drove her to some wild orgasms. Then there was long, deep, and sensuous intercourse. Shawna loved to lie spread-legged on the bed, moaning in pleasure while her husband's hard cock thrust in her pussy again and again. She loved accepting him inside, feeling his cock spread her inner vaginal walls. She loved turning over face down and surrendering her nether portal to his ragingly hard cock, moaning as he filled her up. Her stomach fluttered when he ejaculated inside her. She always looked forward to his hands tightly grasping her hips as he plowed and pounded, knowing that he was spurting inside her with abandon.
The three of them got together at the bondage house one weekend every month for similar play. Although Jennifer frequently wielded the whip and had Shawna begging, kicking and squirming while her aroused husband watched, the two women developed a deep affection for each other. In the privacy of the room they frequently exchanged lingering kisses, their lips pressing in, and their naked arms around each other. Shawna was as likely to go to sleep in Jennifer's arms as she was to drop off snuggled up to her husband.
The zenith of the weekend always had Shawna's husband entering Jennifer and pleasuring her with his hard cock - the cock that Shawna had taken in and experienced several times during the weekend. Sometimes Jennifer lay face up on the bed, her legs spread and her knees bent, with Shawna straddling her face, as the lone male insatiably fucked her. Other times, Jennifer lay face down with a pillow under her hips, while Shawna stood by the bed and watched her husband's meaty erection repeatedly plow the blonde-haired pussy of her friend until, with a wrenching orgasm, he spurted the final reservoir of his semen inside.
Jennifer, for her part, bestowed ample affection on her friend's husband, often palpating his cock and testicles to a raging hard state, or lying naked on top of him, her lips planted on his, with his cock nestled between her thighs. She knew that this teasing would result in his taking her all the more exuberantly. Also, she greatly enjoyed her part in the threesome - not only did she have the thrill of having Shawna dance under her whip, she also got to enjoy a male's meaty erection pumping and thrusting inside her.

Buenos Aires - That old cliche about getting out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat sees daft Argie despot Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's presidency reduced to toast this weekend.
A collapse in the value of pesto in global markets means Argentina is back to trading in beans once again as the spent socialist country teeters on the verge of bankruptcy.
So serious is the currant crisis that radical proposals by the leftist Pissartisto Party to kidnap and ransom Pope Frankie the Argie will be debated in an emergency session of Parliament this weekend.
Politicians have estimated they might be able to get between $5 and $10 million for the new Pontiff in a much needed dosh-up of foreign exchange.
"Such an arrangement might suit someone with an urgent need for an ecclesiastical get-out-of-jail card," Argentine Finance Minister Alfonso Bernardo-Madoffitz commented, "like some bent paedo bishop or Tony B Liar."
Other crisis management suggestions include twinning Argentina with Ecuador following President Rafael Correa's mortgaging his country's entire oil and gas supplies to the Chinese in return for a $10 billion bung.
General Belgrano is 104.
