A Smashing Great Weekend
Hey Friends!
Hope everyone is healthy, happy and had a great weekend! My weekend was full of fun! I had a double session on Saturday and a session on Sunday. Incase you were unaware I am very flexible with my hours and am willing to work most weekends and evenings to make things easy for you the clients. Even tho my store hours are 10am - 4pm Mon-Tues and Thurs-Fri I will most times schedule sessions past 4pm if need be. The hours listed are just the hours the actual studio is open and someone is present to assist you.
Now about my weekend! Unfortunately I am unable to share photos from the first session as they are still "under wraps" and haven't been presented to the parents by grandma yet. When the time comes I will be sure to share! The Next session on Saturday was so much fun! It was an engagement session with Jesse and Sarah, their wedding will be so much fun as they were very easy to photograph and went along with about any crazy idea that I had! What made this session so special is that we were able to go onto some family land that had some pretty awesome additions to it. Here are a few I'll share:
Jesse and his family built this bridge. There was another one, but unfortunately the wind kept us off of that one.
Love this, Nothing better than taking a jeep out in the pasture and a girl stealing her fiance's hat!
Love this as well
This image was taken on some land where Jesse's family has built a new little get away log cabin, absolutely gorgeous!
Now on to Sunday's session. What a doll! Some of you might remember Mr Kaden from last year in his newborn photos. He was the one all snuggled into his daddy's huntin' camo fast asleep in the weeds. He has now turned one and was ready to party! We had a great time photographing him and couldn't stop laughing during his cake smash!
Probably the next football star!
The best way to eat cake ever!
You better be smiling now! :) After this we got Mr. Kaden cleaned up ( he was still a little green from the frosting.. oops) and went out to daddy's work site. He had on his official DBC jacket for this portion of the day!
Hope you all enjoyed this blog! Sorry it is a little short but it seems to be getting late on me! I hope you all have a fantastic week and a safe fourth of July. I have a few things planned so stay tuned for more!
Until Then!

An uptick in supply and lower prices failed to boost existing home sales in January, which unexpectedly fell 3.2 percent versus the marginally downward revised December level to an annualized rate of 5.380 million, well below the consensus estimate of 5.650 million and the lowest rate for January since 1999. Year-on-year, home resales were down 4.8 percent, the largest decline since August 2014.Though lack of supply continued to hamper sales volumes, supply in January's market increased 4.1 percent from December's level to 1.520 million homes. While this is down 9.5 percent from January last year, inventory rose from December's 3.2 months, a 19-year low, to 3.4 months. Still, lack of choice remains a serious problem for the resale market.But prices softened considerably in January, which won't be drawing new homes onto the market. The median selling price fell by a sharp 2.4 percent to $240,500 for a year-on-year increase of 5.8 percent.Sales were down compared to December in all four regions of the country, with declines most pronounced in the Midwest, down 6.0 percent, and the West, down 5.0 percent.While existing home sales tend to be volatile, the softness in today's report may cast some doubt on housing strength indicated by last week's report of a surge in permits to the best level of the expansion.
Consensus Outlook
Existing home sales have been choppy but did finish 2017 on the uptrend. But the number of homes for sale are at a 19-year low which should limit January's sales results. Against December's 5.570 million annualized rate, a 5.650 million rate is January's consensus.

While some people may benefit from the latest technologies in spine surgery, much of the newest research in spine care focuses on long-established principles of non-surgical treatments for chronic spine pain using exercise and stress management.
In a study, spine surgeons in Europe treated one group of chronic spine pain patients with exercise and pain management and another group with spine surgery. They were surprised to find that patients treated with exercise and pain management skills had nearly the same improvement as those patients who underwent spine surgery. The patients who exercised also increased the density of their back muscles, which can also be helpful in resuming an active lifestyle.
The UI Spine Center's non-surgical approach teaches patients that by improving their muscle flexibility, strength, and endurance, and using coping skills and stress management skills, they can successfully reduce their pain without undergoing invasive surgery or taking excessive medications.
Since 1985, we have helped hundreds of patients to lead active lives following back injury or disease with minimal reliance on passive treatment modalities, prescription pain medications, or injections.

Western Sahara plunder discussed in UN decolonisation committee
Western Sahara has been treated by the UN as a decolonisation issue since the 1960s. 16 June 2009, the plundering was discussed in the committee.
Published: 17.06 - 2009 08:24
Printer version
Frente Polisario's representative in New York, Ahmed Boukhari, urged in a presentation to the Special Committee on Decolonisation a halt of the plundering of the natural resources in Western Sahara.
According to the minutes from discussion, Mr. Boukhari put forward the following points:
"Morocco had intensified its exploitation and commercialization of the Territory, awarding its best natural resources, notably phosphorous and fishing, to the highest bidder. It was also including foreign companies in prospecting for petroleum, in serious violation of international law governing a Territory in the process of decolonization. That violation was particularly serious when taking into account that in January 2002 Hans Corell, then Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs and United Nations Legal Counsel, had said that the Organization did not consider Morocco to be the sovereign or administering Power in Western Sahara."
One of the members of the Special Committee that took the floor, the representative of the United Republic of Tanzania, said it was both unfortunate and unacceptable that Western Sahara remained the only unresolved case on the African continent. The Assembly had consistently recognized the inalienable right of the Saharawi people to self-determination and independence, repeatedly adopting resolutions and decisions on the matter that went unheeded. The Security Council had also consistently called for the self-determination of the Saharawi people.
The United Republic of Tanzania also called attention to reported illegal exploitation of Western Saharas natural resources, which merited the Special Committees attention.

minutes from the 16 June 2009 discussion here.

Morocco occupies the major part of its neighbouring country, Western Sahara. Entering into business deals with Moroccan companies or authorities in the occupied territories gives an impression of political legitimacy to the occupation. It also gives job opportunities to Moroccan settlers and income to the Moroccan government.

It's not easy keeping up with all the different legal proceedings relating to Western Sahara. For the sake of clarity, here's an overview of the five different cases at the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Stand up for the Gdeim Izik 25!
Leading activists from Western Sahara are condemned to sentences ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment in connection to a mass protest in 2010 denouncing the Saharawi peoples social and economic marginalization in their occupied land; the Gdeim Izik protest camp.

What I Cooked on My Summer Vacation
It made me feel creative to figure out ways to cook in our kitchen-less hotel room in Yemen (steaming eggs with our espresso maker and sauteing veggies in an electric fondue pot, for instance). But it's a whole lot better having a real kitchen. And this sick loft we're renting for the summer has an […]Read More

Summer takes off her high heeled boots and knowing your fetish, she slowly takes them off to tease you. She knows you want to get a whiff of her dirty socks and she puts them right in your face. You must lick them before she takes them off to clean them a bit. She then slips them off to reveal her cute painted toes before she orders you to lick her dirty soles.
Emily is wearing heels and her feet have a nasty odor. They are very sweaty after a hard day at work. She wants you to get on your knees and suck and each toe. Then she wants you to lick her sweaty soles until both of her feet are clean. Be a good slave and do what you are told. Shove her entire foot in your mouth like she tells you do.
After a long hard day these three blonde hair babes sit and relax in the jacuzzi and relax their pretty feet. These snobby girls know you will become mesmerized by there wrinkled up soled and wet toes. They find humor in how hard your cock gets imagining your dick between their soft feet. They tease you with their feet and mock you for how much of a loser you are.
Mistress Alyssia is a sexy mistress who has you under her heels as she takes her black high heel and puts them in your face. She wants you to worship her heels and lick them clean. She then orders you to take them off and smell her sweaty feet. She wants her soles to be licked with your tongue and you have to make sure that you get in between each of her little toes.

Autumn Fires...
20 comments:
The weather here has been glorious! Cool at night but only a sheet required for good sleep. Love it! These photos are gorgeous. xoReplyDelete
That was one of my favorite books as a child. I still have a copy that I read to my stepdaughter when she was a little girl.ReplyDelete
Some many gorgeous flowers. It's starting to get a little cooler at night here and some of the leaves, even though they have turned, have that look about them. I'm ready for fall!
this poem is so beautiful and joyful! and the arboretum is amazing! I love fall. There is something magical about autumn... a sense of renewal, of introspection.ReplyDelete
That is truly a lovely poem. And your photos are gorgeous! I love them. It's sad to see summer go, but the autumn season can be quite lovely when the weather is nice.ReplyDelete
All those flowers are gorgeous. We haven't really had a very 'summery' summer, I had to go to the Med to find my sunshine this year!ReplyDelete
Dear Diane - I know that I have heard that poem but so nice to revisit the days of our childhood - such lovely words and speaking of lovely...gorgeous pictures - it is hard to say goodbye to the flowers of summer but autumn will be divine too. Thanks as always for sharing. God Bless You.ReplyDelete
Oh, your pictures make me want to hold on to summer forever, but the poem makes me yearn for Fall. What a nice feeling to think about both with so much appreciation! Thank you for that!ReplyDelete
Happy seeing beautiful!
Such beautiful pictures .... actually we are getting into the season that I like best here in central Florida ... but it's still way too hot here. I love the picture just before the lovely poem ... it's vintage isn't it. Perhaps from the 20's or 30's.ReplyDelete
Happiness always.Replies
Hello All... Thank you for your lovely comments! I am glad you enjoyed the poem and the images... and yes ArtSings the picture is from a vintage clip art dvd I have had for almost twenty years. Unfortunately there was not always information about the artwork.Delete
I am similarly conflicted like most of you, yearning for summer to continue but also excited about the crisp air and turning leaves that come with Autumn.
I also love the illustration at the beginning of the post. I wish we knew who the artist was - I'd love to see some more of their work.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos - it must be wonderful to walk around the Arboretum - there is a different view around every corner!
I love the flowers! The photos are amazing, all are good souvenirs for this year's summer :)ReplyDelete
wow! Those pictures were gorgeous! And that poem was lovely...stirred up a lot of nostalgia for me!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, beautiful pictures! That little sculpture among the leaves is so sweet and tender.ReplyDeleteReplies
The sculpture of the little boy with the bird is one of my favorites too!Delete
Fantastic pictures, thanks for sharing! Pinterest here they come.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos and the vintage image at the top is wonderful!ReplyDelete
I hope you are well.
Your local arboretum looks amazing, so many lush and lovely photos! Must be a wonderful place to spend some time.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos! I love fall colors. I hope we'll have a beautiful autumn.ReplyDelete
Wonderful series! I love the old illustration!ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving a comment! I do read them all and will try to respond if I'm able. Please know that all comments are appreciated, I love to hear your thoughts on my posts! ~ Diane

In a traditional organization, the leader is the top problem solver and tells people what to do; they're the "boss."
In a Lean organization, the role of the leader is to develop everyone else as a problem solver. The leader listens and asks questions that stimulate and guide the thought process and problem-solving ability of the people who do the work.
At a recent King County learning lunch, Lean Specialist Vicki Oyadomari facilitated a Lean coaching practice session for interested county employees, including frontline staff looking for tools that could be useful for "managing up" with leaders.
The group focused on two key aspects of Lean coaching:
Multi-tasking is a myth! The group paired off and each tried to listen to their colleague describe a problem while simultaneously counting to 30 in their own head. "It felt awful," one person remarked.
That exercise mimics the impossibility we all face when we try to rush to our own solutions as we try to listen. It can't be done.
Yet, as Oyadomari noted, "Often as leaders we attend to our own self-talk and chatter versus listening to the person speaking and trying to understand their thinking."
Lean leaders are active listeners.
The value of open-ended questions. Closed questions (questions that can be answered "yes" or "no") tend to confirm what we already think we know. Closed questions tend to be leading questions. Open-ended questions elicit what we don't know.
Open-ended questions facilitate learning for both the coach and the person doing the work.
The person doing the work is led to think about the problem in ways that they might not have. The coach learns more about how the person doing the work has been thinking about the problem; about their strengths and weaknesses; and about how they can be further developed as a problem-solver. Both learn more about the problem.
Here are some of the open-ended questions that the group practiced asking and answering together:
- What do you know about the problem?
- What did you actually see or hear?
- What do know know about why it is happening?
- What makes you think that is the cause?
- How will that countermeasure improve things?
Asking these questions, and really listening to the answers, helps the coach and the person doing the work identify when the thought process has jumped to a solution without root cause analysis or doesn't show a strong understanding of the actual problem.

Title: Interviewing…Fran and Helen
Author: Bonercreator69
Celebs: Fran Halsall, Helen Skelton, Kate Abdo
Codes: oral, MF, FF, MFF, creampie, mast
Disclaimer: This story is entirely fictitious and did NOT happen. It is fantasy only and fantasy is legal. If you have any comments, requests or suggestions for future episodes, please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com
The last episode of Sportswomen Uncovered had crept up on us as all the shows in my four series did. We'd had a great penultimate show with stars from the Athletics track and the final episode in the series saw us dive into the swimming pool for our guests.
Fran Halsall had been a member of the Great Britain swimming team for a long time, competing in several Olympics and Commonwealth Games and was probably the most well-known female swimmer after one of our previous guests, Rebecca Adlington. Joining her on the show was the presenter of the swimming coverage for the BBC, Helen Skelton, who although not an athlete, used to compete to a strong level during her junior years.
However, before the show began, I received a knock on my dressing-room door and opened it to see Kate standing outside. Inviting her in, I sat down on the sofa and looked at her questioningly, as this was unusual for her to come to me before the show.
"Tom," Kate said, looking slightly sad, "I don't think these girls today are gonna be up for our usual after-show antics. I mean, Helen is pregnant and happily married to a rugby player and Fran just doesn't seem like the type of person who would be up for it."
"This hasn't worried us before," I said, trying not to stare at the fact she was wearing no panties, "why is it now?"
"Because I'm hornier today than I have been for the whole series and it's because I know I'm not gonna get much action during our break," Kate replied. "Two months is a fucking long time when you've been getting pussy and cock twice a week every week."
"Well, that can be easily rectified," I said, slipping down my suit trousers and exposing my growing cock. "I'll fuck you before the show and if at any time during our break, you want a fuck, just let me know."
Kate seemed satisfied with this result and dropped to her knees in front of me, taking my cock in her hand and stroking it up to its full-length. This didn't take long as she'd unzipped her dress before doing so and exposed her sexy, naked body, with her glistening pussy.
Kate decided there was no time for foreplay and as soon as my cock was hard enough, clambered up onto my cock, moaning as she felt it inside her. We began to fuck as we had done many times before, but never in this room which was a nice change, with me sucking on her tits as she bounced on my cock.
It wasn't the best or longest fuck we'd ever had but it was enough to satisfy our horny appetites, as I squirted my load deep inside her pussy after fucking her to orgasm. She clambered off my cock, kissed me goodbye and headed back to her dressing room to clean up before the show.
When I next saw her, you couldn't tell we'd fucked only fifteen minutes previously, as she looked as beautiful as ever. Our guests looked stunning as well, Helen choosing a black dress that finished temptingly high, and Fran in a similar black outfit.
"Welcome to the show, ladies," I began, admiring their toned bodies. "The Rio Olympics was a big event for both of you but for different reasons. What was the experience like in Brazil?"
"It was obviously great to be part of such a big event," Helen answered first. "Being behind the scenes, you don't get all the action but you still get the atmosphere of the athletes. I was lucky enough to do London and now Rio and it's one of the reasons why I love presenting the swimming events."
"It was my third Olympics so I'm used to the experience by now," Fran answered. "I've been lucky enough to compete in so many great competitions in different countries but Rio was up there with the best. Obviously, it was disappointing not to come back with a medal but hopefully I might be able to win one in Tokyo."
"You've won so many medals at so many different events," Kate asked, "what is it about the Olympics that means you never win one?"
"If I knew that, Kate, I would have put it right," Fran laughed. "No, seriously, I don't know the reason. I feel like every time I'm in good shape and ready to challenge for a medal, all the other girls raise their game. Swimming sprints are the toughest stroke in my opinion, but hopefully if I can keep going strong, we can change it."
"Helen, how is it watching these swimmers winning medals and going so fast?" I asked. "Do you ever want to be in the pool yourself?"
"Sometimes I do wish I was a competitive swimmer, but I was never good enough to compete at this kind of level," Helen replied. "I love watching all the guys and girls doing their stuff and seeing how quick they go and it's even more entertaining when Rebecca (Adlington) and Mark (Foster) are watching as well as they get super into it."
"Fran, do you change your sexual lifestyle when it comes to the Olympics or does that not bother you?" Kate asked, and I could tell she was already beginning to get horny.
"It never used to worry me," Fran answered, smiling as the topic changed to sex. "But my boyfriend is on the Great Britain field hockey team and their coach put a ban on any sexual activity in case they pick up injuries. So that meant I had to stop. It's frustrating but that's life."
"And do you find it hard being away from your husband when you're covering these events, Helen?" I asked, cock beginning to grow because Kate was secretly rubbing it.
"Obviously, it's always difficult being away from your partner whatever job you're in," Helen answered. "But Richie and I are used to being apart because of our separate work commitments, so it's not too bad. As long as I've got sex toys with me, I'm usually OK. We make the most of our time together when we are alone."
"Helen, you mentioned sex toys, is masturbation frequent for you too, Fran?" Kate asked, now unzipping my trousers. "And Helen, how often do you pleasure yourself?"
"Yeah, God yeah," Fran said. "Because I stopped having sex right before big events, I decided I needed to pleasure myself so I'll masturbate the night before every big race. And when it's out of the season, I'll still masturbate pretty frequently, about twice a week."
"Sex toys are the first thing I take anywhere," Helen replied. "When my hubby is playing rugby during the season, I'll masturbate daily. Then, when we have time together, we'll fuck twice a day which means I don't need to masturbate. Although at the Olympics, it was three or four times a day because the humidity brought it out in me."
"Wow," I said, my cock hard as ever as Kate began to stroke it. "And what gets you two off?"
"Anything really," Fran said, eyeing my cock somewhat eagerly. "I've masturbated to a lot of things in my time, including some of my fellow swimmers. That's always awkward when I go to race against them and think, you got me off last night."
"Porn mostly gets me off," Helen replied, also looking at my cock, but curiously. "I like all kinds of porn. I have a few favourite videos saved that never fail to get me off, but it varies."
"OK, let's finish on a great question," Kate said, itching to start sucking my cock. "What is your biggest sexual fantasy?"
"I would absolutely love to be involved in some kind of group sex," Fran answered, watching as Kate didn't wait for an answer, lowering her lips around my cock and beginning to suck. "Whether that is in some kind of sexual place, some party or something I dunno, but just as long as there's a lot of people."
"I don't know if I have a fantasy as such," Helen said, looking at Kate's blowjob as well. "I think the hottest thing for me would be having hot, passionate sex and being caught, maybe if it was with someone who you shouldn't be fucking."
"Wow," I said, trying hard not to broadcast how much pleasure I was currently in, "what a wonderful way to end the show and the series. Unfortunately, that's it for today's episode and season number two but join us in the new series when we'll be joined by guests such as Nafissatou Thiam and Melissa Wu. See you then."
Whether the pre-show sex had made Kate hornier I didn't know but this was by far the best blowjob she'd given me at the end of a show. The moment I'd stopped talking, she'd began to slurp on my cock, making sure she covered it with saliva, as her hands slipped inside my shirt and began to rub my chest.
"Do you two do this often?" Fran said, her eyes fixed on the blowjob after she'd exchanged a glance with her co-guest, Helen, who was also watching the oral sex.
"Every show," I replied as Kate's mouth was full. "Why do you think you never see full body shots of me when I ask the final question or wrap up the show?"
I watched as Helen Skelton-Myler and Fran Halsall thought back to all the times they'd watched the show and realised that they had indeed never seen anymore of me than my face when I closed the show. They exchanged a second glance and then Helen spoke, asking a question I never thought I would hear from the pregnant presenter.
"And what do the celebrities usually do?" Helen said, looking directly at me. "What do they do when they feel as horny as I do right now?"
"Well, I'd be lying if I said that Kate and I hadn't had fun with a few sports stars," I replied, smiling as I watched Fran's hand drift down towards her pussy. "And I'd also be lying if I said we didn't want you to join us."
Helen glanced across at Fran and the two exchanged what seemed to be a mutual agreement to join in. The swimmer already had her hands buried inside her panties, but Helen wasted no time in getting naked, standing up and stripping out of her dress and underwear to expose her naked body and her baby bump.
I'd had sex with a couple of pregnant ladies but never one that was so close to birth that I wasn't really sure how far I wanted to go with Helen. They say sex induces labour but I didn't want her to have to report to her husband that she was having their child when she was covered in my sticky cum.
However, this was soon out of my mind as Kate was bringing me closer and closer to my second orgasm of the day. She'd been sucking my cock hard throughout my conversation with our guests and the moment they'd admitted to being interested in joining us, she seemed to triple her efforts.
I guided her head as Helen helped Fran out of her own dress and moments later, as the two sexy guests strutted over to join us, I was busting my load in my co-host's mouth for the umpteenth time, try though as I may to hold it back.
Kate removed her lips from around my cock, licking her lips to make sure she got rid of all the cum and stood up, undressing herself as she did so. I sat back and watched as the three ladies began to touch each other's bodies and before long, Kate was rubbing both Helen and Fran's pussies.
"You girls got a little wet watching that, didn't you?" she said, as I began to massage my cock, working it up to its full length once more. "You like the way I suck Tom's cock? You want it inside you, don't you?"
Helen and Fran moaned as Kate worked their pussies and soon, my cock was up to full length, a combination of the sight I was watching and Kate's magic words. I stood up and made my way to stand alongside Kate, pinching her ass before I removed her hand from Helen's pussy.
Replacing it with my own, I began to work her pussy with my fingers, pulling her in for a kiss and feeling her baby bump press against my chest as we made out. Glancing over, I saw Fran's hand had made for Kate's pussy and the two of them were now masturbating each other as they too kissed.
I moved Helen over to the sofa and laid her down, before crouching at her pussy and rubbing it with my fingers. Unsure whether she'd want me to fuck her or not, I decided to start with a little oral sex and see how that went first, so I brought my tongue down and began to lick her pussy.
Helen moaned and I felt her hands on the back of my head, holding it in place as I lapped away at her vagina. I had no idea what Kate and Fran were doing but I could hear them both moaning so I guessed that they were still mutually masturbating, but I was focused on my own pleasuring techniques.
I moved my hands up Helen's bump and found her large breasts and began to massage them in my hands as she held my head in place on her pussy. I continued to lick her hard and fast and her pregnancy seemed to be giving her a heightened sense of pleasure as she was panting faster and faster.
All of a sudden, she let out a moan and I felt my face flooded with pussy juice as she hit her climax and, in the surprise, I accidentally squeezed down on her tits, causing milk to fly out and cover my back, her belly and the floor. She allowed me up and I clambered up to kiss her before turning to see what the other two were doing.
My cock immediately twitched with anticipation as I saw Kate Abdo and Fran Halsall lying naked on the floor, pussies pointed in our direction, being masturbated by each other. I was surprised that Kate hadn't initiated oral sex considering how horny she'd been before the show, but knew I could immediately change that.
Grabbing Helen by the arm, I led her over to the two masturbating women and lay down on the floor, my face inches from Kate's pussy, ready to return the favour from earlier. Helen followed my lead and did the same in front of the women she'd commentated on several times, Fran Halsall, and we both replaced the hands of the ladies with our own.
The moment I put my lips on Kate's pussy, I could feel her relax with satisfaction as she finally had a tongue on her pussy. I began to suck and lick on my co-host's vagina, as I had done many times before, but this time she seemed even more overjoyed, grabbing Fran's hand as the two of them moaned in unison.
Helen had copied my actions and, as I glanced over whilst eating Kate's pussy, I quickly became aware that this was not the first time Helen Skelton-Myler had eaten another woman's pussy. Already deciding that I would have to have her back on the show when she was not pregnant so I could fuck her, I returned my attentions to Kate and began to speed up the pace with which I was licking her clit.
The two women were moaning increasingly louder now and I'd heard enough of Kate's orgasms to know that she was close. However, to my surprise, it was Fran who hit her climax first, screaming out in pleasure as she unloaded her juices over Helen's tongue, which did not remove itself from the swimmer's pussy.
Watching and listening to Fran cum coupled with my efforts on her pussy was enough to bring Kate to her climax, and not a minute later, I felt her own juices flood over my tongue as I lapped them up happily. Smiling, I proceeded to make out with Helen, exchanging the two pussy juices between us as Kate and Fran copied, sharing a satisfied, passionate kiss.
"As much as I love oral sex," I said, breaking apart the kiss, "I need a pussy on my cock right now."
"I would love to," Helen said, "but it's probably not a great idea so close to my baby being born."
Fran didn't have the excuse and she didn't look as though she wanted one either, as the moment I had suggested fucking someone, she had made her way to the sofa and spread her legs inviting me to penetrate her.
Leaving Kate and Helen to have their own fun, I moved over to the sofa and immediately pushed my cock inside Fran's pussy, hearing the swimming sprinter moan as she felt it inside her. Her pussy was already lubed up from Helen's oral skills and so I got my rhythm up straight away and we were soon lost in the action.
Helen and Kate seemed to have kept themselves busy as the room was soon filled with both of them moaning and I was later informed by the latter that they had decided to pleasure each other as her and Fran had done earlier.
The moans of the two girls were great but I was all concentrated on Fran and giving her the fuck of her life and I sped up the rhythm even faster, until I physically couldn't go any quicker. Fran was moaning and panting, finding it hard to breathe and she bit down on my neck, I knew she was enjoying the way I was pounding her.
She was close to her orgasm and after only about five or six minutes of us fucking, she informed me that she was already ready to release her juices. This was music to my ears as I was finding it hard to hold on, giving I was exerting so much energy, and the moment I felt her pussy juices flood over my cock, I allowed myself to cum, moaning as I squirted my load inside her.
We remained in that position for a minute, just kissing passionately as we recovered before I removed my cock from her pussy and collapsed next to her. I was just in time to witness two more orgasms as Helen and Kate made each other cum using their fingers and two dildos that seemed to have appeared from nowhere.
"What a way to end the series," Kate said, once she'd recovered as she kissed Helen, and she was right. It had been a fabulous end to the series.

This time, one of the well-known coffee shop in Pluit area, namely Viverri Coffee has opened their second branch in Muara Karang. And this Viverri Coffee has a wider area and consists of two floors. So, do not be afraid to feel 'overheated' (I think you know what I mean, haha) or not to get a seat!
And the concept of this coffee shop is the same as the other coffee shop, looks minimalist with elements of white, black and light wood. Yeah, so typical of coffee shop in nowadays.
Oreogatto (IDR 35.000), this is my favorite! Besides I like affogato, due to a perfect combination of coffee and ice cream are very good, but this time the, affogato here was presented with additional oreo crumbs! So damn really good!
|S'mores Dip
S'mores Dip (IDR 30.000 - small pan), served in the hot pan which consist of marshmallow, nutella, chocolate and crispy biscuit. This small pan can be enjoyed for 2-3 person. But imho, it's too sweet if enjoyed for 2 people. But for you, a sweet food lovers, you may be happy with this one! :)
|Spaghetti Aglio Olio
Spaghetti Aglio Olio (IDR 42.000), sounds good to see this menu and the color was make me drool! But, the food wasn't greasy (unlike the aglio olio in general) and less fragrant. And I hope they've to improve the flavor, seasoning and presentation of this main course.

(THIS POST WAS UPDATED AUGUST 2nd, 2017)
GO HERE to find a fully updated and detailed downloadable write-up for Flip Flip Tower.
As some of you might know, my friend Barry Thompson and I have just finished up a team building activity book called Cup It Up: Teambuilding with Cups! (Now on Sale!).
BONUS ACTIVITY: Flip Flop Tower. We did not put this one into the book CUP IT UP, so it's a perfect bonus and teaser to demonstrate the power of team building with cups. You'll notice in the picture above the group is using Speed Stack Cups (if you have them the different colors make for a great visual). In the picture below the group is using the red Solo brand cups. They both work great.
Needs & Numbers: For every group of 2 to 5 participants you'll need 36 cups (as noted above, Speed Stack or Solo cups work great). You will also need a solid surface, at ground level, to build from. A wind-free environment is also a good idea if you are not working on objectives like frustration or anger management!
The Objective Using only the 36 cups you have in your possession, build the tallest free-standing tower in 60 seconds.
Rules for Building:
Tower structures are scored by number of rows. Rows consist of one or more individual cups - nested cups, one, or more, inside of another, will not count as a row. (Note: The score for the red Solo cup tower is 16 (rows).
Once the groups understand the challenge I let them know they will have three attempts to build the tallest tower possible. I then give them three minutes to plan and practice before the first attempt.
Here's what I tell everyone before I start each attempt - "Your first row can be set up and ready to go. The rest of your cups can either be in your hands, set down on the ground, or a combination of both. Okay, is everybody ready? Set! Go!"
After 60 seconds, giving the groups continuous updates on the time remaining, call a hard STOP (e.g., horn, whistle, or yell it out). After the dust settles, have the groups count their number of rows still standing - the number of rows is their score for the first attempt. Tell the groups to remember their score. Then, give everyone two minutes to plan and practice for the second attempt. Encourage the groups to try and "better their score."
After the second round, each group makes a note of their score. Then, give everyone one minute to plan and practice for the third and final round. Have them note their score for the third round. After all three attempts take some time to focus on one or more of the discussion points (suggestions) below based on your group's objectives for their program.
Discussion Points:
National Standard and World Record
As of the date of this post, the national average of rows in 60 seconds, for the adult (18 years old and older) bracket is 17 rows. The world record, adult bracket, is 20.
Video Here's video of a group using Speed Stack cups. I only included two rounds to keep the video short - you'll get the idea. Note: Notice the tower in the first round is higher (for a moment) than the one the group builds in the second round - watch the behavior in the last few seconds of the second round!! Great stuff!
I've also been setting up Flip Flop with "expectations" - GO HERE for details on how expectations work - detailed write-up of Flip Flip Tower.
Let me know how this version goes!! Leave a comment below.
All the best,

WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard vector format that uses the XML markup language and can contain animated or interactive graphics. The SVG format was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization promoting the development and interoperability of web products and offering such products freely. SVG files are supported by most web browsers and can be created with drawing programs or text editors.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. Although it is fast, this software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert WEBPs. But at the same time, it will allow you to apply a wide range of editing options.
reaConverter is quick to download, install and launch, and you don't need to be an IT specialist in order to understand in a few minutes how it operates.
Start reaConverter and load all the .webp files you intend to convert into .svg because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select WEBPs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .svg files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.
Then pick the SVG as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click Plus button to add new options.
Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!Try Free Trial Version
Advanced users can convert WEBP to SVG via command-line interface in manual or automated mode. You are welcome to contact our technical support when you have any questions about reaConverter.Download reaConverter Pro with CLI
