les animal get a good work out
Last night had been great, Les had invited around a dozen guys and we had made sure all were well and truly fucked before they went home, today after having a light breakfast we did our internal cleaning and lazed around the pool most of the morning resting for a busy afternoon and evening.
Les had a play with us both, licking fucking and a bit of fisting, but mainly just to fill in time, as we took turns sucking his cock, then Grant got Jake and sucked his cock, it was nice to see Jake enjoying his red knob being eaten, as Grant went to town on him, then Grant got on his knees, Jake knew what to do, he went behind him, his cock finding Grants butt hole first time, Jake pounded Grant for some time, his knot, popped in and out a few times before knotting, then as always Jake growled as his cock spewed cum, filling his bitch full, Grant had several orgasm as both stayed tied, then as more cum run out, Jake turned, back to back, still cum was flowing into Grants butt, it was probably some 10 minutes before he pulled back, his knot letting go.
Les and I lay down both with open mouths, as Grant moved above us, spraying doggy cum over us, we set about licking one another clean. None of us had seen some of the guy's arrive and strip off, then Grant's butt was filled by a cock as another took to his mouth.
I turned over and pushed my arse up, as I saw a naked body ready to fuck me, within seconds my pussy was full with a throbbing cock. The fun for the day had begun. as I was fucked hard, Les now moved around, laying my on the other guy as he slipped his cock in my arse to dp me, what a way to go, as both guys gave me my first orgasm for today.
I rode them hard; with new found energy they stayed in me for some time, then, Les let out a moan, followed by a nice big squirt of cum that filled my arse, followed quickly by the guy in my pussy. I swung around and sucked them both dry, then asked Les if Dfor was around.
He went off, returning with Dfor, I was bent over the bench, Dfor eagerly licked the cum from my arse, then just as quickly jumped up, pinning me down as his cock shot forward, with one or two trusts he found my willing butt ready for him to fuck, his cock went fully in, and he began to pound away inside my cummy arse. Both dogs fuck differently, Drof seems to ram harder than Jake, but both have hot hard cocks that go deep inside and fuck much faster than any guys can. Dfor was going well, I had several orgasms and he was now pushing his knot in, taking a sniff of poppers helped it slip straight in, quite often he growls when it does, and slows, his cock leaks cum all the time he's fucking, now, with his knot fully home, he began to cum, reams of dog cum filled my bowels, the pressure feels strange, but also nice, then he turned back to back, moving slowly my orgasms continued for some time.
Les lay under me, then Dfor pulled hard, his knot plopped out and Les gaggled in doggy cum, gallons leaked out, I turned and shared it with him. As another guy began to fuck my cum soaked butt hole.
No sooner had I licked Les's face clean, then hand's picked me up, I was swung around and impaled on 2 cocks, both going in my butt, as I took a third in my mouth. This time, 2 other guys had put their hands under my arm's and were lifting me up and down on the cocks, as I screamed though multiple orgasms, It was so nice, as they kept me going for some time, my body taking both cocks fully with my full weight being dropped onto the cocks, normally I lower myself down, but my legs were out flat over one guys shoulders, the feeling was great. Then all too soon the warmth in my butt told me they had both cum, moving up, I let their cum drop out over one of the guys face. He licked me dry and sent me over the top again, in orgasmic bliss.
I was ready now, I told Les to get Flame, the guys who had just fucked me, strapped me in the frame; I took several good sniffs of the poppers, just as Flames front legs came alongside me. His cock, bouncing on my back, Les said ready, and gave him a sniff of the mares scent.
As always this got him horny, Flame's cock began to jerk around, looking for my hole, I told Les to stick it in my arse. Seconds later, the first 6 inches or more went deep inside my cum soaked hole. I took another good sniff, as Les also gave Flame more scent. That was all he needed, the full length now shot inside, I screamed, then went into intent orgasms as he fucked me, the large cock head, always fills me up, and hits in places no other cock has.
I told Les to give him more scent, knowing he would ram his cock in hard once more, just in time I took more poppers, this time Les held the rag to Flame's nose and kept it there, Flame went wild, his cock grew bigger and bigger, my butt now fucked beyond my wildest dreams, as I screamed again and again, all the time telling Les to keep him going.
I was now totally giving in to his cock, out of control and not worried at all, waiting for the gallons of cum I knew he would be rewarding me with soon. One more big sniff of poppers and I told Les to give Flame more scent. That was it, Flame was now nearly out of control he was ramming me so hard the frame was moving along the floor, I was just screaming from one orgasm to another, then he cum, oh boy did he cum, my stomach hurt as the fluid raced up inside my bowels, Flame was making weird noise's now, but he kept fucking, with more speed and harder thrusts than ever before.
The next thing I knew was Grant wiping my forehead with a damp towel, it seems I had passed out big time, to many intense orgasms, had sent me into a faint. All I knew was my body was tingling and I felt great. I took a few minutes to rest, and then set to sucking a cock, while Grant fucked my horse cum filled butt; guys all around looked on, hard cocks stuck out waiting to be used.
Grant then lay me on another guys cock, that slipped easily into my arse, then Grant pushed his back in, both set to fucking me as my orgasms started again, I was so sensitive it felt great, with each thrust I had another orgasm, then Grant cum, pulling his cummy cock out for me to suck dry, while the other guy kept going.
I looked around, it was dark now and the house was full of guys, it was then I saw Liz, It had been awhile since we last played, she was being dp'd by a couple of guys and other's had cocks ready for her to suck, as I looked over to her, she smiled, and blew me a kiss.
Grant had invited guys we knew too, Rick was busy being fucked by several guys, as his dad Andy face fucked him, I must be kinky, seeing a dad fuck his son, turns me on, then something new, Rick turned his dad around, and fucked his arse, that was different. It looked like they had really got into incest in both ways now.
My body was being abused by several guys, cocks and fists found any hole open to play in now, then Liz made her way over, kissing me, licking some cum from my face, she said my show with the horse looked great, what did it feel like, with a wicked grin, I told her you'll have to find out.
I got up, telling Les to bring Patch in, taking Liz to the frame, we set about tying her in, as I did a guy gave her a good sniff of the poppers, I fisted her arse to open her up more, as Patch got nearer, she stated to panic a bit, but more poppers calmed her down, Patch walked up over her, his cock already sticking out hit her butt, I told Liz to take more poppers as Les began to scent the mare.
Oh boy, his cock jumped out a full 12 inches or more, as I aimed it into her cum soaked arse, she froze, I could see her hole clamp tight, with a hard smack and more poppers she let go, just as Patch pushed the first few inches in, she screamed, this cock was much bigger than she has ever had in her butt, but too late, the head of his cock was larger than the shaft, so once in, it eased up some. Patch thrust forward, more went in, as the guys forced Liz to continue sniffing the poppers, then it was like her arse just opened up, Patch went right in, Liz looked like a slut, her face lit up, as Patch rammed harder and harder, Les now holding the scent to his nose.
I have never seen Liz enjoy a fuck as much as she was now, Patch was forcing her forward with each thrust, all his cock sunk deep inside her butt, Liz went into one long orgasm. Then when Patch made his snorting noise, I knew she was going to cop his full load, I watched his cock swell and jerk, I knew reams of hot cum would be filling her stomach now, Liz was like a rag doll, smiling, orgasming but limp. Patch pumped her full, cum was running out everywhere, then he just pulled back, his huge cock head ripping her open, Liz screamed in pain, then went quite, her face blank, as Patch walked away, Les slammed his fist in, forcing more cum out, Liz once more went orgasmic.
It took awhile, but when she started to talk, she was lost for words, a smile a mile wide on her face, mind you her butt was also a mile wide now too. Then with a weird smile, she just looked at me and said, how long before he's ready again.
Well the night continued into the small hours, we all took both horse's, and in between, the dogs kept us busy too, it was by far the best night, we could have had, I asked Les to try and count the guys, just to see, later he said maybe 30, but some had left. Liz and myself, set about getting Grant to fuck us both, as always his arse gets a good work out, but often he hasn't cum by the end of the night, so we set about seeing who could make him cum in us, well Liz won as Grant seeded her arse, while I licked her pussy clean.
Les said it was ok for her to sleep with us, so when all the guys had left, we all four fell into a very cum soaked bed, and slept like babies.

Snowy Plover Docent | Habitat Restoration | Tour Leader
The Snowy Plover Docent Program was created to educate beach visitors about the threatened staus of the Western Snowy Plover. Docents teach beach goers how they can help to preserve Sands Beach as a safe and healthy habitat for the plover popualtion. Among Docents, there is a shared goal of maintaining beach access and recreation for visitors while maintaining the preservation and protection of habitat for the Snowy Plovers and other native fauna. The success of the Snowy Plover Docent Program is a result of the commitment from our community to increase public awareness and protect adult snowy plovers and their eggs and chicks from predators and disturbances.

Most listings are in the $30's per square foot per year. The Downtown Vancouver region is going through a an increase in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate increased $14 per sqft per year. That's a 55% rise in rent.
Compared to the rest of the Greater Portland market, the Downtown Vancouver region has more expensive rates, and you'll need to make a great offer to be in this hot region.
In the last 90 days, 9 listings have been posted online, which means spaces are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 5,480 sqft, there are still 0 listings below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this area are around 2 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 1984 and are Class A.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Public administration is the dominant industry in this area. Commute by bike is the most popular way to get to work amongst Downtown Vancouver occupants. Commuting approximately an hour a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Dell to launch 10-inch Android tablet in China
Dell Inc has chosen to launch its new 10-inch Android tablet in China this summer, passing up on a U.S., Europe launch, as China emerges as a front line battle for tablets.
The tablet named Streak 10 Pro will target Chinese prosumers, a term used to describe advanced-level consumers, Amit Midha, Dell's President of Greater China and South Asia, said on a corporate blog on Thursday.
Dell, which is also working on a Windows 7-based tablet for enterprise customers due later this year, will evaluate launches of the Android tablet in other regions in the second half of the year, he said.
Dell's decision to launch a 10-inch tablet in China is a signal of the market's growing importance to the company.
Dell's China sales grew 22 percent in the first quarter while its retail presence in China exceeds 10,000 sales points, Midha said.
In China in particular, we're currently number 2 in the Chinese PC market and we're seeing a significant increase in the number of small- and medium-business users, who are adopting mobility products as part of their growth plans, he said.
Dell has chosen China to launch new products before. In 2009, Dell announced it will enter the smartphone market starting in China before moving into Brazil.
By launching the Android tablet in China, Dell hopes to give more time to developers to develop applications for the device as China blocks some Google applications and the Android Market is not yet available.
The tablet market is currently dominated by Apple Inc's iPads, Samsung Electronics and Motorola Mobility Holdings tablets.
The end product (encompassing the hardware, software, and availability of applications, services and solutions) delivered in China will be significantly different to what would be delivered in many other countries. That's why it makes sense to start there Midha said, adding that Dell will take what it learns in China to shape mobile products for other markets.

Line, the messaging app that's an alternative to the likes of Whatsapp, has boasted of an install base of 300 million users. And it's now stepping into a new market by launching Whoscall exclusively for Android, which serves as a caller ID for company numbers.
The app differentiates from Truecaller by being only about commercial phone numbers. Truecaller Truecaller: Cross Platform Called ID & Phone Lookup App Truecaller: Cross Platform Called ID & Phone Lookup App Read More also works with any individual's phone number, which Line is avoiding.
Line Whoscall claims to have a database of over 600 million phone numbers from around the world, but they state that it works only with company and store number—individual users aren't covered, as Line uses only numbers published by companies and store in the Yellow Pages or online. It's similar to one of the important features of Android KitKat Android 4.4 Is Out: 6+ Reasons You And Your Non-Techie Friends Should Care Android 4.4 Is Out: 6+ Reasons You And Your Non-Techie Friends Should Care Android KitKat is out, and there's no way you've missed it.

The cool part with this is that you can create 'blocklists' to stop being bothered by certain companies. Blocklists will thwart both calls and text messages, and you can block individuals or entire categories such as all international numbers or all numbers not in your contact list. "You can also use Whoscall to manage phone numbers by category or tag, and block calls and text messages from numbers in your contact list," Line says.
Line Whoscall is available as a free download from the Google Play Store.

It's pretty funny to me, that LINE pretends to give anti-"spam" solutions, when they are the main spam source in my phones...
In my experience, the most annoying phone calls come from companies that don't list their number anywhere. This would reduce the effectiveness of Whoscall.

Alas I have not come up with the magic SQL incantations required yet - perhaps I'll try this weekend to see what I can do. Logically we need to first find all fileids that are not in any release select f.fileid from files f, releases r where f.fileid not in {select fileid from releases}; Then for these fileids, we need to zap any entries in the indexes table where the symbol only appears in file(s) in the list. This is complicated - I can't work out how the SQL would look, not being terribly familiar with it. Then cleaning up the useage, status and symbols table should be easy. Cheers, Malcolm |

Well, the Heat were rolling out Shabazz Napier, Mario Chalmers, and Norris Cole, sooooo...
And then there's this...
February 19, 2015Breaking -- Suns get the Cavs 1st round pick 2016, Heat first rounder protected top 7 in 2017 and Heat 1st round pick unprotected 2021.
— John Gambadoro (@Gambo987)
Long live delayed information.

Why Did Ancient Civilizations Fall?
Ideas abound as to why certain complex societies collapsed in the past, including environmental change, fluctuating social structures, and lack of adaptability. Through an examination of Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Roman, Mayan, Incan, and Aztec societies, Scott A. J. Johnson, Ph.D., will evaluate current theories related to this topic and discuss why they offer only partial explanations for each civilization's collapse.
Presented in collaboration with the Mound City Chapter of the Missouri Archaeological Society.

Printer-Friendly Version
by Katharine Hansen Ph.D.
It's a rare worker who has not — at one point or another during his or her career — thought it would be great to work from home instead of commuting to work. Perhaps your personal life is feeling out of balance with your work life. Perhaps you have a new baby. Maybe you have an elderly parent to care for. Or perhaps you're just sick of the grind. Certainly since the 9-11-2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. many workers have sought the perceived safety of home as a workplace.
For many telecommuting is seen as the answer to the desire to work from home. The term "telecommuting" is used interchangeably with the more recent term "teleworking" which some experts suggest you use when proposing an off-site arrangement to your boss — since "telework" sounds more like working.
According to the American Interactive Consumer Survey conducted by The Dieringer Research Group for the International Telework Association and Council (ITAC) the number of employed Americans who performed any kind of work from home with a frequency range from as little as 1 day a year to full-time grew from 41.3 million in 2003 to 44.4 million in 2004 a 7.5% growth rate. The number of full-time telecommuters last year was 12 million up from about 8.8 million in 2003. The number of telecommuters is increasing worldwide. Canadian telecommuters for example can recoup up to six full work weeks yearly — an average hour a day — by eliminating their daily commute according to Bernard Brodie an InnoVisions Canada consultant.
If you're seriously thinking you'd like a job where you can telecommute a few reality checks are in order first:
- It's extremely rare to find a job that starts out as a telecommuting job. It's much more common to convert an existing job into a telecommuting arrangement by presenting a thoughtful and comprehensive proposal to your supervisor.
- Most telecommuters don't telecommute full-time instead working from home two or three days a week. Two days per week is the national average among teleworkers according to the International Telework Association.
The first thing to do is investigate whether your employer already has a telecommuting program in place. Chances are you'd know about it if such a program exists but maybe it's a well-kept secret. Ask your human-resources department if the organization has such a program.
If your employer has no program start doing some research. Read the organization's employee manual carefully to determine whether any company policies prohibit telecommuting. Try to get an idea what the employer's attitude might be toward allowing you to telecommute. If the company offers flex-time or other flexible work options the organization may also be open to telecommuting. On her Web site WorkOptions.com Pat Katepoo offers some good tips on signals to look for in your current workplace that suggest how receptive your employer may be to telecommuting. You may also want to ask yourself if a flexible work arrangement would likely hurt your "promotability" within the organization and whether you are willing to live with that reality.
Find out if competitor companies allow telecommuting and if other employers in your organization's geographic region permit the practice. You may want to compile articles about the benefits of teleworking. Check out the free article downloads at Gil Gordon's Telecommuting Web site. Arm yourself with as much information as possible.
Also be sure you are a good candidate for telecommuting. In your heart of hearts are you convinced that you have the self-discipline to work from home under minimal supervision? And perhaps more importantly does your boss perceive you as the kind of self-starter who can perform independently? Are you a proven performer? Well organized? A good time-manager? Think about yourself the same way you would if you were looking for a new job; what is your Unique Selling Proposition? In what ways are you an asset to your employer and what do you do better than anyone else in your organization? If you can effectively communicate your value to your employer you'll be better able to sell your boss on the idea of letting you telework. For a good set of questions to ask yourself to evaluate your candidacy for telecommuting see Telecommute Connecticut's Could You Telecommute? and Judy Wolf's Is Telework for You?
Consider also whether your job functions lend themselves to telecommuting. You can find lists of the occupations that are the best candidates for telecommuting at the Web sites for Work-at-Home Success and the Metropolitan Atlanta Telecommuting Advisory Council.
Once you are comfortable that telecommuting is right for you and you are fully informed use the following guidelines and strategies to craft an effective telecommuting proposal:
- Plan to hit your boss with a double-whammy: A written proposal and an oral presentation. Experts agree that both a comprehensive balanced written proposal and a presentation are the best approach. The presentation prepares your boss to absorb the points in the written proposal and gives him or her the opportunity to raise questions or objections (to which you'll be fully prepared to respond). The written proposal enables the boss to more carefully consider your ideas when he or she has more time and serves an a crucial tool if your boss agrees with your idea but must obtain approval from higher up in the food chain. You may want to rehearse the presentation and even role-play with a friend or co-worker so you can practice responding to the questions and objections you anticipate from your boss.
- Ask not what telecommuting can do for you; explain what telecommuting can do for your employer. Follow the same principle you would for any aspect of job-hunting from resumes and cover letters to interviews and salary negotiation — focus on the benefits of telecommuting to the employer not the benefits to you. Never frame your proposal in terms of how telecommuting will meet your needs. Don't mention your need for better work-life balance more time to spend with your kids care-taking responsibilities for elderly parents or any other personal need. State only that telecommuting will make you more productive and efficient be a better use of the time you previously spent on the road make your boss's life easier — whatever benefits you come up with that focus on the employer's needs — not yours.
- Tout your value to the company and the traits that will make you an effective teleworker. Note your accomplishments and contributions. Describe yourself as someone who has the characteristics of a successful telecommuter and wherever possible cite supporting evidence of these characteristics such as in performance evaluations.
- Propose a trial period. The most successful telecommuting proposals are those that offer an easy out for your boss. It's hard to refuse an offer to simply try it. If telecommuting doesn't work for you or your boss the experiment will be over after a trial period. Of course if telecommuting is truly important to you you'll do your darndest to make it work. Both you and your boss may want to propose an "out" clause that would enable either of you to end or adjust the telecommuting experiment before the end of the trial period if it simply isn't working out. Summer or whatever season is your organization's slow period may be a good time for a trial. On the other hand the best time may be when the company is fully staffed and few workers are taking vacations.
- Build in accountability measures. Your boss's biggest fear is likely that you will be unproductive if he or she is not there to watch over you. Suggest ways for your boss to keep tabs on you and be fully informed of your progress. Offer to fax or e-mail your boss a report of your activities for each day or week of at-home work. Suggest frequent evaluation meetings at various stages of the trial period. Establish a list of measurable goals against which to determine the success of the trial. The Web site MommyCo.com suggests a product such as Norton PCAnywhere that enables you to take over the use of an office computer via modem so that anyone back in the office can monitor your activities at all times.
- By outlining your job description assure your boss that you'll meet your responsibilities. Chances are telecommuting will not change your basic job responsibilities. But it's a good idea to delineate your job description to assure your boss that you know what needs to be done and that telecommuting won't significantly change that. You may want to construct a table that shows which of your job activities will be accomplished off-site which will be performed in the traditional workplace and which can be done at either location. Describe how you will handle key relationships with other team members.
- Propose a schedule. It's best to propose that you telework for only one or two days a week to start with. Pat Katepoo who bills herself as The Flex Success Coach suggests that Mondays should not be one of the days you propose for teleworking. But whatever you propose be clear in your documentation to the boss what schedule you plan. You'll probably want to pledge to be in the office for all staff/team meetings. You may want to provide a projected schedule of what each day's work from home will be like.
- Be sure your boss knows you're reachable and flexible. Provide your boss with your phone fax pager cell-phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Instant-messaging is a great tool for real-time communication with the office. Establish a frequency for checking in — once a day or more depending on your job functions and employer's needs. Pledge to return phone calls within a given period of time. Tell how you'll handle deadlines. Assure your boss you can come into the office on relatively short notice if you are urgently needed. The Metropolitan Atlanta Telecommuting Advisory Council advises that you pledge to always carry a folder of remote-work projects for anytime you have to telework unexpectedly (such as in case of a weather or sick-child emergency).
- Describe your workspace. Paint a picture for your boss of a safe professional and well-equipped workspace that is free of distractions. Draw a diagram or better yet provide a photo of your workspace. Invite your boss to visit your home office and even propose a schedule of site visits.
- Address personal issues. Although you should never frame your proposal in terms of your personal needs you must address how you plan to deal with those needs especially if your boss is aware of your personal situation. First don't delude yourself into thinking you can care for very young children while also working for your employer in your home. Even if your ulterior motive for telecommuting is more time with your kids you will need some kind of childcare arrangement while you're working at home. Whether you've planned in-home childcare or a daycare facility your boss needs to know that your children's needs won't distract you from work. Elderly parents may also need some sort of daycare arrangement.
- Talk about equipment. Your proposal should address what equipment you need to telecommute effectively which equipment the employer will provide what equipment you will provide what costs the employer will incur and how data-security insurance and liability issues will be handled should your computer be hacked or equipment be stolen or damaged. Typical telecommuting equipment includes a fax machine additional phone line with voicemail storage media such as Zip disks/drives or CD-ROMs to back up and transport computer files and a computer with Internet access preferably broadband rather than dialup.
- Deploy statistics and case studies that support the business benefits of telecommuting. Numerous studies support the notion that telecommuting workers are more productive and have higher morale and less absenteeism. Organizations that allow telecommuting have less employee turnover. Provide examples of other companies in your area especially competitors that allow teleworking. List co-workers willing to support the venture. You may want to include supporting articles as an appendix to your proposal. Some good sources for supporting statistics include:
- You may even want to provide a cost-benefits analysis. These sites tell how to put together such an analysis:
- Crunch the numbers… from June Langhoff's Telecommuting Resource Center.
- Cost-benefits from the Canadian Telework Association.
- If you need help getting started use a sample telecommuting proposal or proposal template. Several sites offer fill-in-the blanks proposal templates:
Other sites offer sample proposals:
- Judy Wolf (PDF; Adobe Acrobat Reader required)
- About.com Sample Agreements.
- For $29.95 you can purchase the product Telecommuting Flex Success Proposal Blueprint from Pat Katepoo of WorkOptions.com. In addition to a telecommuting proposal template the product offers strategies for handling objections developing "Plan B" and addressing equipment and dependent-care issues. See a brief review of the publication.
- Be prepared for every question and objection. If the boss feels your work habits and performance don't qualify you for telecommuting ask what you can do to prove you're up to the task. The proposed telecommuting trial period might persuade the boss to take a chance on you. Other common objections include:
- If you do it everyone will want to.
- We don't t lework her .
- You can't telecommute; you're a manager.
- You can't telecommute; you interact extensively with customers.
Resources that can help with responding to these common supervisor questions and objections — and more — include:
- Convince Your Boss an article from the Metropolitan Atlanta Telecommuting Advisory Council
- Telecommute Connecticut's Getting Approval to Telecommute.
- If you're turned down don't give up but try a different approach. For example volunteer to finish up a project at home over a weekend to show how efficiently you work from that venue. Or negotiate fewer days a week of telecommuting or a shorter trial period. If rejection of your telecommuting proposal is a matter of company policy find out how much sentiment there is among your co-workers for getting the policy changed. If you hit a brick wall consider seeking a job at a company that may be more receptive to a telecommuting proposal.
- If your telecommuting trial succeeds consider spreading the wealth. Write up a case study of your successful telecommuting experience and then propose a program for your company or department. Check out this "how-to" guide from the Metropolitan Atlanta Telecommuting Advisory Council.
