BOSTON, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Eating whole fruit -- especially blueberries, grapes and apples -- was correlated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, U.S. researchers say.
Senior author Qi Sun, assistant professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and colleagues examined data gathered between 1984-2008 from 187,382 participants in three long-running studies: Nurses' Health Study, Nurses' Health Study II and Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Participants who reported a diagnosis of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer at enrollment were excluded.
The study participants filled out questionnaires on what type of food they ate and how frequently.
The study found 12,198 participants, or 6.5 percent, developed diabetes during the study period.
The researchers looked at overall fruit consumption, as well as consumption of individual fruit: grapes or raisins; peaches, plums, or apricots; prunes; bananas; cantaloupe; apples or pears; oranges; grapefruit; strawberries; and blueberries. They also looked at consumption of apple, orange, grapefruit, and "other" fruit juice.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, found people who ate at least two servings each week of certain whole fruit -- particularly blueberries, grapes and apples -- reduced their risk for type 2 diabetes by as much as 23 percent in comparison to those who ate less than one serving per month. Conversely, those who consumed one or more servings of fruit juice each day increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 21 percent, the study said.
The researchers found that swapping three servings of juice per week for whole fruit would result in a 7 percent reduction in diabetes risk, the researchers said.

There's a back up on the highway again, and it's in the dead spot where the radio doesn't come in quite right. The next exit is a mile away, and the shoulder of the road is clogged with drivers trying to get out of the jam. Semi trucks' air brakes sigh as the monstrous vehicles grind to a halt. Other drivers give up and place their vehicles in park – or just shut them completely off.
It's going to be a while.
There's been another accident.
Campbell County is traversed by several main thoroughfares – Tenn. 116, Interstate 75, U.S. 25W, Tenn. 63 and Tenn. 297. Last year, the highways saw 1,142 of accidents. 321 were accidents with injury. Of those 821 were accidents without injury. The LaFollette Press obtained data from the Campbell County E-911 center for car accident calls between June 1, 2012 and June 6, 2013.
I-75 is the worst road in the county for car accidents, according to Charlie Hutson, Campbell County's E-911 director. With 31.6 miles of interstate blazing across the county, it's the second longest road in the county behind US 25. But I-75 is by far the most dangerous. Between June 1, 2012 and June 6, 2013, Campbell County EMS reported 78 accidents with injuries along I-75, many of them resulting in hours-long traffic back ups and few places to exit and take a detour. There were an additional 86 accidents without injuries.
We asked our more than 2,000 LaFollette Press Facebook fans about their experiences with the county's most dangerous roads. Common answers were Demory Road, Long Hollow Road, Highway 25W, Glade Springs and Pinecrest. Their answers were mostly in line with E-911 data.
Demory Road saw 32 accidents without injury during the previous 12 months. There were an additional six accidents with injuries.
Glade Springs
There were five accidents without injury and six accidents with injury during the time frame.
"Glade Springs Road, the intersection there," wrote Denise Vincent Ivey on Facebook.
There is no red light at the intersection of Glade Springs Road and Gen. Carl W. Stiner Highway
"It's awful trying to pull out," added Ashley Huddleston Gibson.
Reader Amanda Partin had just witnessed an accident in front of her house on Glade Springs.
"Someone rear ended someone else just a matter of minutes ago in front of my house. That road is horrible!" she wrote on Monday.
US 25W and Tenn. 9 run parallel to one another in Campbell County for a total of 32.5 miles. E-911 data shows at least 111 accidents without injury along the stretch. There were 77 accidents with injury.
"[US]25W is the most dangerous. It's not the road, it's the people driving the roads!" wrote Jellico resident Carolyn Leach.
US 25W careens through the mountains between LaFollette and Jellico for 24 miles. During the spring 2011 rockslide, it was the main detour for southbound travelers for several months. Between LaFollette and Jacksboro, there are hairpin turns, a narrow underpass, and at times, no shoulder.
Between Caryville and LaFollette, the road is relatively flat, but drivers must navigate the split roadway with grassy medians and mandatory U-turns to access businesses on the opposite side of the road. While traffic lights do control cars to some degree, drivers may not always be to blame, according to Facebook fan Tommie Green Condry
"[The] red light in front of the Mexican restaurant [El Pueblito] is where A LOT of accidents happen. I think the light is set wrong. [Both] are green at the same time for a split second," she wrote.
Amanda Phillips believes that intersection, as well as the intersection with Towe String Road, could use a sign reminding drivers to wait their turn.
"There also needs to be do not block intersection signs at the red light at Food City and the red light at Walgreens. That would help a lot," she said.
The Walmart plaza sees its fair share of accidents in any given 12-month period. There were 65 accidents without injury either in the parking lot, at the red light or in the McDonald's parking lot. An additional five accidents in the area resulted in injuries. In some cases, multiple accidents were reported in the Walmart parking lot in the same day.
Traffic statistics
The Tennessee Department of Safety maintains records about traffic crashes within the state. Data is broken down by what day traffic crashes occur, what time a crash is most likely to occur and which month sees more accidents. The state also examines how many times a crash was caused by a deer, alcohol, or inattention by the driver.
According to the most recent data available from the state, a traffic crash in Campbell County is most likely to occur on any given Friday in the month of December between 3 and 6 p.m.
A driver's age and experience level can also contribute to traffic crashes. Surprisingly, data from the state said drivers in 11 percent of car accidents were between the ages of 35 and 39. Drivers between 25 and 29 were behind the wheel in 10.5 percent of accidents. Senior drivers between 75 and 79 were responsible for just 2.6 percent of accidents, but that number doesn't necessarily mean the elderly are safe drivers – it could mean that fewer people in that demographic still drive.
The state department examined car crashes in 2008 and categorized them based on the severity of injuries. That year, there were 2,318 accidents. 1,808 did not result in injuries. There were possible injuries in another 323. Non-incapacitating injuries accounted for 127 accidents. Thirty-six people were incapacitated on Tennessee roadways that year. The status of 14 people was unknown; 10 died.
In 2013, there have already been five deaths on Campbell County roadways.
During the past 12 months, there were 14 fatal accidents resulting in 17 deaths in Campbell County.
What's causing
Data from the state implies that for the majority of the time, drivers didn't do anything to contribute to a crash. The next most-likely scenarios include failure to maintain the lane or running off the road, following improperly or failure to yield to the right of way. Believe it or not, cell phone usage was only indicated as a contributing action three times in 2012. Alcohol usage is a far greater contributor to crashes. Between 2003 and 2007, there were an average of 65.4 alcohol-related crashes each year.
Driver inattention was often cited as a reason for traffic accidents, according to Facebook fans. Speeding was also named. One reader said accidents happen because drivers don't have any "common courtesy."
"People are speeding, tailgating, pulling out in front of others, in other words completely disregarding traffic laws and just plain old common courtesy. I'm surprised people are not killed or hurt on a daily basis. Of course the secondary roads are dangerous, but at least on most of them you can't be driving over 50 mph. I think if people would just SLOW DOWN it would help a lot," wrote Libbi Longmire Lay. "

Can data be recovered from a hard drive after that data has been written by 35 passes of random information? How about a single pass of zeros?
Whether or not such data can be recovered has been a question of debate for decades. Unfortunately, there have been few hard facts published.
Prior Work
The Gutmann Paper 1996
The most widely known paper in this area is Peter Gutmann's 1996 classic, Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory, Proceedings of the Sixth Usenix Security Symposium [1]. An extended version of the paper appears on Peter Gutmann's website [2].
In this paper, Gutmann discusses techniques using an electron microscope that might work for recovering overwritten data. He then proposes a series of erasure patterns that can be used to overwrite data from hard drives that use different kinds of encoding schemes. A total of 35 patterns are proposed, although, as Gutmann notes, there is no reason to ever use all 35 patterns (because the patterns are designed for use on different kinds of magnetic recording technology).
It's important to realize that this paper, written in 1996, discusses a magnetic recording technology that is no longer widely available. In 1998 Gutmann added the Epilogue to Gutmann's 1996 paper. The gist of that epilogue is that two passes of random data should be enough for today's disk drives.
ActionFront's Drive Independent Data Recovery 2005
In August 2005 ActionFront Data Recovery Labs presented a detailed paper at the IEEE 16th Annual Magnetic Recording Conference in which they discussed the current state-of-the-art of recovering information from hard drives without using the drive's own read/write heads [3].
One of the key points that the paper makes is that there is a high degree of variability between individual modern hard drives. Manufacturers exploit this variability to increase drive densities. Unfortunately, this variability makes it dramatically harder to perform drive independent data recovery — that is, a single recovery approach that will work on multiple drives.

"The late morning recovery in the 10 Year Note helped bring back the buyers in stocks," wrote Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. "The ability of the DJ Transports and the SOX to hold their respective 50-day moving averages was a plus as well. All the major averages, the Dow, S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq Comp all slipped below their respective 10-day moving averages this morning but they have retaken them."

NEW YORK -- An opera-loving philanthropist convicted of a multimillion-dollar fraud will soon be freed from prison on bail after a federal appeals court signaled on Tuesday he might be succeeding in proving his case deserves a second look.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a one-page order requiring Alberto Vilar and a co-defendant, Gary Alan Tanaka, be released before it issues its opinion on the legality of their convictions.
Attorney Vivian Shevitz, who represents the men on appeal, said she was "very gratified" by the decision.
"It means we have a substantial issue likely to result in reversal," she said.
A spokeswoman for federal prosecutors declined to comment.
Vilar, 71, was accused of cheating investors of $40 million through his San Francisco-based company, Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc. He was convicted at trial in November 2008 of conspiracy fraud and has been imprisoned since shortly afterward, serving a nine-year prison sentence. He was projected to be released in September 2016.
Vilar's defense team says he received poor legal help, there was insufficient evidence of certain crimes of which he was accused and the judge at trial didn't instruct the jury properly.
The appeals court, which heard oral arguments in August, instructed a lower court judge to set bail for the men. Tanaka, 69, has two years remaining on his five-year prison term. He was convicted of conspiracy along with securities and investment adviser fraud, but he was acquitted on nine other counts.
The Cuban-born Vilar was described by Forbes magazine as worth about $950 million after he earned hundreds of millions of dollars on investments in the stock boom of the 1990s. He spent some of the money making donations of as much as $225 million to opera houses.
Largely abandoned by his affluent and powerful friends after his arrest, he could do nothing as the Metropolitan Opera took his name off its grand tier, the Royal Opera at Covent Garden in London removed his surname from its Floral Hall and the Salzburg Festival in Austria stripped his picture from its programs.
Witnesses against Vilar at trial included Lily Cates, the mother of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" actress Phoebe Cates, who said he improperly spent $5 million of her money.

Richard Cecil
Richard Cecil (-1552)
Copyright 2006, Will Johnson, email@example.com, Professional Genealogist, All Rights Reserved
Richard Cecil was a resident of Burleigh in the parish of Stamford Baron St Martin, Northamptonshire. His father David, rose in favor under King VIII of England Henry VIII, becoming high sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1529 and 1530, and died in 1541.
Richard too was a courtier. In 1517 he was a royal page; in 1520 he was present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold; he rose to be groom of the robes and constable of Warwick Castle. He was high sheriff of Rutland in 1539, and was one of those who received no inconsiderable share of the plunder of the monasteries. He married Jane Heckington, daughter and heiress of William Heckington of Bourne, Lincolnshire. He had only one son, William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520-1598), but three daughters.
He sent his son William to the grammar schools of Stamford and Grantham, and in 1535 William entered St. John's College, Cambridge. Academically a success, William ran afoul of his father, when his heart was lost to Mary Cheke, daughter of a local widow, with only a fortune of 40 pounds to recommend her. William was immediately removed before he could take his degree, and was entered as a student at Gray's Inn in 1541. If the motive was to prevent a marriage, it failed. Two months after he came up to London, William married Mary, probably secretly. Thomas, the future Earl of Exeter and only fruit of this union was born at Cambridge on 5 May 1542, therefore presumably at his grandmother's house. The marriage was so distateful to Richard, that he is said to have altered his will, or at any rate, to have intended to do so. But the young wife did not live long, dying on 22 Feb 1544.
When Richard died 19 Mar 1552/3 " Title="The Cecil Family, pg 12" [source], he left an ample estate behind him in the counties of Rutland, Northamptonshire and elsewhere. He died at his house in Cannon Row and was buried at St. Margaret's, Westminster.
Richard's widow Jane died in 10 March 1587/8. title="Complete Peerage, Burghley, pg 428" here
Of Richard's daughters, Anne (also called Agnes) married Thomas White of Tuxford, Notts.; Margaret married Roger Cave and secondly Ambrose Smith; and Elizabeth married [RobertWingfield Robert Wingfield] secondly Hugh Allington.

With our program, no two classes are ever the same. You'll do new exercises, learn twists on old ones, and have fun punching and kicking the fat right off your body. Every class is broken into three phases. Here's what you can expect from each...
To start class off, you'll go through a barrage of
fun, fat-
melting exercises that work you from head to toe. These are
the same kinds of exercises pro fighters use to get so lean and
toned. They include: squats, jumping squats, variations on
pushups, planks, lunges, crunches, and more. You're
guaranteed to learn and experience exercises
you've never seen before.
Stretching is an important part of every workout.
most fitness programs have you stretch before you
start exercising. The truth is, stretching is the most effective
when you're muscles are loose and warmed up. You'll improve your
flexibility, get limber, and get a minute to catch your breath before the
"fun" part begins...
Now that your whole body has been worked out and stretched
- it's
time to have some fun on the heavy bag. You'll strap on your
boxing gloves (which you get for free with your trial membership)
and punch and kick the fat right off your body. You'll learn multiple
kinds of punches, kicks, and combinations of the two for a fun workout
unlike any other. Burn fat, melt away stress, and have fun - every time.

We Need More Than Marches
All of those times we marched, and yet, police murder of Black men in particular continue unabated. So, what must we do differently this time around, besides, marching to maintain the pressure on those who influence policies that kill our people?
On December 16, more than 60,000 people marched to protest the killing of Sean Bell whose life was extinguished in a hail of 50 shots, hours before he was to have been married, by police officers of The New York Police Department, some of whom had been drinking alcohol.
The march started at Fifty-Ninth St. and Fifth Ave. and ended at 34 St. and Sixth Ave. This march came one week after two marches in the Jamaica Queens area, one by the N.A.A.C.P the other by the New Black Panther Party. Bell was killed in Queens. Before that the militant December 12th Movement organized the first march at City Hall.   Â
Many more marches are planned to protest police brutality and murder of Black people, as they should. In addition, many different groups are planning marches. However, a fundamental question must be asked: how will we translate these marches into meaningful policy changes that will prevent future killings of our people at the hands of police?    Â
Because, when all is said and done, we should settle for nothing less than the eradication of police brutality in Black communities. Anything less represents failure. Police brutality as it relates to institutional racism is, and always has been, the major reason why our communities have been besieged with tragedies such as those that were perpetrated upon: Anthony Baez, Elenor Bumpers, Abner Louima, Patrick Dorismond, Timothy Stansbury, Amadou Diallo and now Sean Bell.   Â
All of those times we marched, and yet, police murder of Black men in particular continue unabated. So, what must we do differently this time around, besides, marching to maintain the pressure on those who influence policies that kill our people? Many talk about boycotting elements that have influence upon those who control the machinations of the police.            Â
Boycotts are always an effective tool if applied properly. That means we scrutinize and identify the proper targets. Dr. King and the members of the Civil Rights Movement showed us the correct way to use the boycott, as in the legendary year-and-a-half Montgomery Bus Boycott. Unfortunately, today, our people are not as organized as we were in those days.     Â
Yes, we can regain the unity of those great days. However, we must commit ourselves to that sacrifice. Otherwise, all our efforts will fail. To end the scourge of police brutality and murder we as a people must keep the pressure on. Marching represents only a first step in this fight against police racism, stereotyping and murder. If we are to break new ground and reclaim our communities from the thuggery of cops who are either racist, or, engage in stereotyping we need much, much more.

The American Bald Eagle
Wisconsin Status: Once endangered in Wisconsin, in 1997 the American bald eagle was taken off the list. Congratulations Wisconsin!
Wingspan: 7 feet (Wow, that's long)
We all know the bald eagle as a national symbol with its distinctive "bald" white head, tail, and dark brown body. These are adult bald eagles. They get their distinctive "bald" head and white tail when they are 4 or 5-years-old. The younger birds are dark brown with just a touch of white on the underwings and tail, making it hard to tell them apart from large hawks or golden eagles. Have you ever seen one up close? You'll see that their powerful beak, legs, and eyes are yellow.
Females usually lay two, 3 inch-long white eggs in late March or early April. Both adults incubate the eggs. Within a month or so, the first egg will hatch with a fluffy white chick. Adults then feed the chicks bits of fish and protect them from severe weather and predators, like great horned owls, raccoons, and ravens. Active nests have been found both in inland nesting areas and along the major rivers in Wisconsin: the Chippewa, Lower Wisconsin, Wolf, and Mississippi. Eagles usually build their nests in tall trees, often a live white pine, with large sticks as shell and softer material as the lining. On average, the nests are about 4 feet in diameter and 3 feet deep, compare that to your height and you'll see how large they really are! Sometimes an eagle pair may just "refurbish" an old nest with new materials instead of building a new one. Just like fixing up an old house instead of building a new one.
If you're looking to see a bald eagle in Wisconsin, you're in luck. Today, they can be found in the northern two-thirds of Wisconsin. Each year since the passage of the Endangered Species Act and the ban of DDT bald eagle populations have been on the rise. DDT is a powerful insecticide which accidentally affected eagles and other birds by causing their eggs to have thin shells that broke. This kept the birds from hatching. In 1973 there were only 108 occupied eagle territories in Wisconsin. In 2010, there were 1,150 breeding pairs!
How do we know how many eagles and eagle nests there are? Well, the DNR and many partners, like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service, have been working hard to collect data about the eagles for the last 25 years. These groups conduct breeding surveys to find out how many nests are active by flying over eagle territory to find nests, then they go back and count the young in each nest. This information is mapped using a computer program called "GIS," Geographical Information System. From this system, we can link all of the data to identify where breeding habitat can be found and predict where more eagles may nest. On the ground, volunteers also climb the nest trees and band eaglets with a metal leg band, take blood samples to check for disease or contamination, and collect vital information on eagles that have been injured or died.
Eagles were abundant throughout Wisconsin until 1800 when immigrants settled the state. Habitat disturbance, destruction, and shooting caused their numbers to drop until laws were enacted like the Migratory Bird Treaty of 1916, the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, the 1972 listing of eagles as endangered in Wisconsin, and the ban of DDT. Today, wildlife biologists, scientists, and volunteers continue to work to teach people about protecting eagles and their nesting sites. About half of the eagle population nests on land that people privately own. DNR staff have developed educational materials to help people learn about eagle nest protection. We work with loggers and builders to protect nests on properties where people want to build homes and businesses, or harvest trees. We also help trappers, farmers, power companies, hunters, school children learn more about eagles. It is hard work teaching everyone about the needs of eagles and keeping track of their nest sites and numbers. You can help the bald eagle in Wisconsin by Adopting an Eagle Nest, reporting active eagle nest sites to the Bureau of Endangered Resources at the DNR and learning more about eagles.
Keep your eyes open along Wisconsin's inland riverways and lakes to see bald eagles soaring on thermals high in the air on a warm day. They can also be seen fishing with their powerful talons for suckers, northern pike, muskellunge and bullheads in the same areas. In the winter you'll find them fishing in open waters near dams along the Mississippi and Lower Wisconsin rivers in Wisconsin. Some of the best viewing places hold special bald eagle watching events in January, check them out!

Indiana Hoosiers Football Tickets
Indiana Hoosiers Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Although basketball reigns supreme in southern Indiana, the Hoosiers football team is trying to make some noise of their own this season. After slow and steady improvement in each of Kevin Wilson's first four years in charge, year five is a big one in Bloomington. The departure of All-American running back Tevin Coleman to the NFL will not make Wilson's job any easier. Quarterback Nate Sudfeld was on his way to a solid season before breaking his collarbone. The senior is back for his final year and will need to be one of the best at his position in the Big Ten if the Hoosiers want to make a bowl game. To fill the void left by Coleman, Coach Wilson was able to add Jordan Howard. Howard, a running back from UAB, ran for nearly 1,600 and 13 touchdowns last season. Although it will a tall task to approach the Tevin Coleman level of production, the veteran should be an impact player. The Indiana offense cannot solely rely on its run game, as we found out last year. Sudfeld will need help from his group of receivers that include Marqui Hawks, Camion Patrick and Jordan Fuchs. The Hoosiers defense has been the downfall in the Kevin Wilson era. Last season the Hoosiers changed it up, going to a 3-4 defensive scheme but that was unable to keep them in most games. Was the victory over ranked Missouri last year an aberration or a sign of things to come in Bloomington? Get your Indiana Hoosiers tickets today!

Current Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson has confirmed that founding member Duff McKagan will rejoin the band for a five-show tour of South America that begins this weekend.
Stinson, who needs the days off in order to reunite for a series of festival dates in North America with his former band, the Replacements, tells Billboard that McKagan is simply being a "good buddy" by filling in for him. The first show will be Sunday night April 6 in Buenos Aires, and the last on April 17 in Fortaleza, Brazil.
"I had those Replacement shows come up the same time the (South American) tour came up, and it got to be a scheduling issue right out of the gate… luckily someone was able to reach out to Duff and he was amenable to the idea and was into doing it. It's Duff being the kind of good sport he is, trying to help Axl (Rose) out."
McKagan, who played his last show as a full-time member of Guns N' Roses back in July of 1993, has rejoined his former band on stage before, including a visit at the London's 02 Arena in 2010 and at Seattle's Key Arena back in December of 2011.

Adams, Hill pace Cardinals' success
System posts best record as five affiliates reach postseason
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | December 10, 2010 5:00 AM
By any measure, the St. Louis Cardinals were the most successful baseball organization in 2010. Their composite .549 winning percentage was tops in pro baseball, and five of their affiliates reached the playoffs. The Triple-A Memphis Redbirds were the only ones to advance to the Finals, falling to Tacoma in the Pacific Coast League Championship Series.
Catcher -- Steven Hill, Springfield (93 games)/Memphis (nine games): Despite playing 102 games, the former 13th-round pick led the organization with 24 homers. Hill also topped the system with 92 RBIs and was second in the Texas League with a .545 slugging percentage. The All-Star also had a Major League debut to remember, homering in his first big league game on Aug. 15.
"He was a returning player that we expected a lot of and he produced, it was really huge," said Springfield manager Ron Warner. "Sad to lose him to the bigs for a bit and Triple-A, but he stabilized our lineup. He did a good job (behind the plate), he made a lot strides as far as his game management and his overall catching ability. He showed that, with the reps, he can get better and he can handle the responsibility of being an everyday guy."
First baseman -- Matthew Adams, Quad Cities (121 games): Adams led the organization with a .310 average and was second to Hill in homers (22) and RBIs (88). The 22-year-old came alive in the second-half, batting .341 with 15 homers after the All-Star break, while posting a gaudy 1.017 OPS. His season came to an early end when he suffered a right elbow fracture at the end of August, taking a key bat out of the Bandits' playoff lineup.
Second baseman -- Daniel Descalso, Memphis (116 games): For the third straight year, the 24-year-old California native increased his RBI total. He drove in 71 runs for the Redbirds, tied for best among Pacific Coast League second baseman. Descalso also led the team with 86 runs scored and had a strong playoff run, batting .280 with a team-best five runs scored. After the season he was honored as a Topps Triple-A All-Star.
Shortstop -- Tyler Greene, Palm Beach (two games)/Memphis (82 games): A first-round pick by the Cardinals in 2005, Greene split the bulk of his season between the Redbirds and in the bigs with the Cardinals. He hit .278 with nine homers and 34 RBIs, while setting a career high with five triples. The 27-year-old Greene also homered twice in 44 Major League games.
Third baseman -- Matt Carpenter, Palm Beach (28 games)/Springfield (105 games): Since being selected in the 13th round in 2009, Carpenter has ascended the organizational ranks quickly. He was second in the organization with a .309 average, while slugging 13 homers and driving in 69 runs. Even more impressive, 25-year-old Carpenter drew 90 walks while striking out 102 times. Carpenter also committed just eight errors in 892 innings at the hot corner.
"I didn't know much about the kid because I didn't see him in Spring Training, but he did well enough to warrant a promotion," said Warner. "When he got there, I was hesitant to think the success he had was going to last, but he carried it. He makes adjustments, he plays the game the right way and doesn't get into a funk when things don't go his way. He was probably one of our most consistent guys all year."
Carpenter carried that success into the Texas League playoffs, where he hit .400 with a homer and five RBIs in a five game loss to Northwest Arkansas. "He stepped up, it's one of the things we look at," Warner added. "He hit a little bit of a lull heading into the playoffs, but when it came to the playoffs, he stepped it up and hit another gear."
Left fielder -- D'Marcus Ingram Quad Cities (49 games)/Palm Beach (51 games): Ingram earned a promotion to the Florida State League after batting .324 with six triples for the Bandits, earning Midwest League All-Star honors. After a slow start at Palm Beach, the 22-year-old heated up in August, posting a .374 on-base percentage in 29 games. Ingram was second in the organization with 22 stolen bases and seventh with a .296 average.
Center field -- Nicholas Longmire, Batavia (68 games): A fifth-round pick out of the University of the Pacific, Longmire started his pro career off with a bang, driving in six runs in just his second game. A New York-Penn League All-Star, Longmire hit .287 and was second in the league with 53 runs scored and third with 55 RBIs. The California native also compiled nine outfield assists for the Muckdogs.
Right fielder -- Allen Craig, Memphis (83 games): Craig did most of his damage with the Redbirds in the first half before a big league promotion. The 26-year-old Californian batted .320 with 14 homers. He was third in the organization with 81 RBIs despite playing 44 games with the Cardinals, where he added four homers and 18 RBIs.
Designated hitter -- Xavier Scruggs, Palm Beach (87 games)/ Springfield (33 games): Scruggs was fourth in the organization with 21 homers and 74 RBIs. The Florida State League All-Star set career highs in nearly offensive category, collecting 201 total bases and scoring 58 runs over two levels. Despite playing only 33 games in Double-A, the 23-year-old right-hander went deep eight times with the Cardinals.
"He's a threat," said Warner. "He's a guy you put in the lineup and you have to respect him when he comes to the plate. He's one of those guys that, if you're the opposing manager, you have to respect. If he can cut down on the strikeouts next year, he's going to be a force for us."
Left-handed starting pitcher -- Ryan Copeland, Johnson City (13 games): The 22-year-old Copeland split time between the bullpen and rotation. He was up to the task in both roles, leading the organization with a 1.86 ERA while going 7-0. He held opposing batters to a .202 average en route to earning Appalachian League Pitcher of the Year honors.
Right-handed starting pitcher -- Brandon Dickson, Memphis (28 games): Signed as an undrafted free agent, Dickson enjoyed his finest season, tying a career high with 11 wins and posting a personal-best 3.23 ERA. He also was selected for the Pacific Coast League All-Star Game. The 26-year-old was third in the organization with 137 strikeouts, also a career high.
Relief pitcher -- Fernando Salas, Memphis (34 games): The 25-year-old Mexican was a PCL All-Star after notching 19 saves and striking out 44 batters in 35 2/3 innings with the Redbirds. Salas' performance was good enough to earn him a Major League promotion, where he posted a 3.52 ERA in 27 games with St. Louis.

Two years ago, talented actress and consummate Whitney Houston impersonator Maya Rudolph appeared on alongside comedian Paul F. Tompkins on the The Paul F. Tompkins Show 9th Anniversary Special. As one would expect from the daughter of Minnie Riperton, Rudolph is quite the capable singer, making her surprise duet with Paul on the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros hit "Home" a very pleasant listen indeed. Tompkins only released the 2011 footage to YouTube yesterday, but I guess this videos like a fine wine — it just gets better and better with age.

Kaye Beach
May 1, 2014
As promised from the start, HB 2620 which is supposed to prohibit cities from mandating vacant property fees and registration, and HB 3363 which defines "abandoned buildings" as a public nuisance, have been combined. The title for the new version of HB 2620 remains "Protect Property Rights Act" (Call me cynical but such titles of bills always make me think "PATRIOT ACT")
There are some grave issues with this measure but for now I am only going to address the first portion. (I will post the about the rest of it before this weekend in over)
The reasoning for merging the registry 'ban' bill (HB2620) with the abandoned property definition bill (HB3363) is so that owners of property with 'bad' vacancies CAN be targeted, forced to register and accrue a variety of fines and fees which if not paid will result in a lien being placed on their property.
Both bills were passed by the House and sent to the Senate (Hb3363 with title off) HB3363 was not heard in the Senate but was combined with HB 2620 after the bill was passed by the senate.
What we have now is a mess that is due to be heard in the House General Government Conference Committee next week. I am almost certain that our legislators will not pass this monster of a bill in anything resembling its current state but you never know….and I am concerned enough about it that I am going to begin squalling now rather than taking the 'hide and watch' approach and end possibly up regretting that later on.
The first portion of the committee substitute for HB2620 is supposed to prohibit municipalities from implementing mandatory fees and registries for real property. Rep. Steve Martin, the House author, says he wants to protect property owners from onerous and expensive city mandates such as the recent OKC vacant property registration ordinance which he feels goes too far.
Residential properties that are vacant for 30 days must register the property with the city. If your property is, at a minimum, 1. vacant and 2. water and electric has been shut off for more than 60 days, you are required to pay a $285 fee and an annual renewal fee of $190. It doesn't matter if the building is entirely up to code. If those two conditions apply, your property is designated a "vacant property" that requires you to pay for some special attention from the city government. Read more about OKC's new vacant property registry here
I agree with the House author of HB 2620 that state intervention in municipal actions that violate city residents' right's is appropriate. However, it is doubtful that the current language will survive to passage of the bill.
For one thing, it is too broad. As currently written this measure would not only nullify all existing vacant property registries and fees but also other existing registries such as for storm shelters which allows rescuers to find and search all shelters in the aftermath of a disaster. Not only will the cities vehemently oppose such a measure, citizens might as well. Whether or not you agree with the premise that there should be no mandatory registries of real property, understand that the bill is not likely to survive to address the stated goal of halting vacant property registries when written this broadly.
More concerning than what may appear to be merely a stubborn stance on principle (which I usually don't criticize) is that numerous statements made by the bill's authors clearly indicates that they do not really oppose all "registration of real property" as the bill states but simply mandatory registration of otherwise perfectly maintained property that happens to also be vacant.
'Treat also sponsored House Bill 3363, which defines abandoned buildings and how they should be handled by a city. He said he could merge the two bills to help better define what is an abandoned or vacant building. Treat also said Oklahoma City's fee requirement will not reach those it is intended for – improper property owners' Link
Its going to be a real trick to separate these proper and "improper" owners, I'm afraid. In fact, it will be impossible to pass such a measure that will not inevitably harm what you and I might classify as good property owners.
When you consider the fact that state law already allows for the city to deal with "improper" property owners which are those whose use or neglect of their property harms the general right of others, you might wonder what it is we are missing here. Protecting our rights is precisely the purpose of government in the first place and they are well-seasoned to the task. City government has broad police power to intervene anytime the rights its residents are threatened furthermore, city governments in this state also have specific statutory authority abate common public nuisances. (See Title 11 ) So what problem do we have that is so new and extraordinary that we need to grant cities some brand new powers?
I don't agree that some vacant property registries are necessary or proper and think It would be a grave mistake for the state legislature to further burden property owners with such registries or fees at all.
Registration is not necessary as cities already know where the problem properties are and how to contact the owners. For example, this is from a 2013 City of Norman Council Oversight Meeting where the issue of a vacant property registration was discussed.
'Ms. Leah Messner, Assistant City Attorney said locating the property owners is not an issue'
It is important to note that city, state and federal properties are exempt from enforcement of such city ordinances. Government properties (even the ones that may have been taken fro you for being an 'improper' owner) can sit happily vacant for as long as the government wants them to with no penalty. As noted by the Norman assistant City Attorney, banks can be exempt and the outcome of recent federal lawsuit indicates that federal mortgage holders like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also exempt from such city ordinances.
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Exempt From Chicago Vacant Building Ordinance
However, there are no exemptions for the average property owner or financially struggling individuals. When the Norman Assistant City Attorney was asked if there were any exemptions from a vacant property registry and the attendant fees for low-income property owners her answer was simply "No"
It is easy to see why property owners might feel that vacant and abandoned property programs are open to abuse and possibly a racket that will result in an even greater transfer of wealth from the ordinary citizen to government and their cronies. In fact, in cities across the nation where vacant and abandoned property programs like the one Oklahoma City is apparently embarking on, are well advanced, there is plenty of evidence that such fears are complete warranted.
Here is what I'm afraid might happen; if the HB 2620 is amended at some point prior to final passage to protect only perfectly pristine vacant properties registration and fees wouldn't it also, by omission, bless city ordinances to mandate registration of any other vacant properties? This would end up being a case of the exception that swallows the rule.
I guess the question is do you support subjecting property owners (except for the government and big banksters) to more bureaucracy, fines, fees and risk of having their property taken? Do we have a right to own property that is vacant?
If you think we do have the right to really own our private property then you might want to encourage the members of the General Government Conference Committee to be careful and not allow HB2620 to be amended to turn a what is supposed to be a property rights protection measure into a property rights destruction law.
All vacant property registries should be prohibited.
The rest of the measure is an utter nightmare and deserves it own separate post which will go up sometime this weekend.

U.S. Attitudes on Population
Our planet faces a "perfect storm"of unprecedented challenges, including climate change, food and water shortages, and a severe energy crisis. But while the urgency of addressing these issues is undisputed, many people in the United States fail to understand how overpopulation aggravates these problems.A recent nationwide Roper Poll commissioned by our organization, the PopulationMedia Center, found that the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the U.S. public on the issue of population are ambivalent or even contradictory. As it turns out, this is a clear reflection of mainstream media coverage.
World population grows by 78 million annually and that stark fact has received some notice. For example, on March 14, 2008, the Financial Times of London proclaimed, "Africa's Greatest Challenge Is to Reduce Fertility." Three days later, the Associated Press headlined, "Egyptian President Says Unrestricted Rise of Population Affects the Quality of Life." On March 24, the Wall Street Journal chimed in with "New Limits to Growth Revive Malthusian Fears. "And in late April, the Washington Post announced, "Birthrates Help Keep Filipinos in Poverty." And in response, some concerned people are speaking out. For example, in his Message for the New Millennium, the Dalai Lama said, "One of the great challenges today is the population explosion. Unless we are able to tackle this issue effectively, we will be confronted with the problem of the natural resources being inadequate for all the human beings on this earth."
But although impressive progress has beenmade in reducing birth rates, this success has been interpreted by many journalists as the onset of a new crisis. By calling reduced fertility "The Birth Dearth," the reporters have shifted the emphasis to too few young people and a possible decline in human numbers sometime in the next 50 to 300 years.

Australian Rugby
Giteau will kick on for Wallabies
September 14, 2010
A dejected Matt Giteau reflects on his off day after defeat to the All Blacks © Getty Images
Australia will stick with Matt Giteau as their primary goal-kicker despite his wayward display in defeat to New Zealand on Saturday.
The centre missed two penalties and two conversions as the Wallabies slipped to a one point defeat at ANZ Stadium, their tenth successive loss to the All Blacks. The performance comes on the back of Giteau's missed kicks in defeat to England earlier this year, and a high-profile error from the tee when Australia lost to Scotland at Murrayfield last November.
The Wallabies let a 22-9 lead slip in what is now becoming a trademark second half collapse, but they were left to rue Giteau's profligacy as the Tri-Nations champions roared back to steal victory. And the gifted centre will retain his kicking duties when the teams meet again in Hong Kong to contest the Bledisloe Cup at the end of October.
"There's no doubt going forward Matt will still be the No.1 kicker in the team and he's earned the right to be the No.1 kicker in the team," Wallabies assistant coach Richard Graham told AAP.
"Matt kicked at 84 per cent during Super Rugby. Whilst some of his kicking throughout the Test season probably hasn't been as consistent as he'd liked to have seen it or we'd like to have seen it ... the guy can goal-kick. There's obviously a flaw in his kicking that in situations becomes apparent and doesn't allow him to be as consistent as he wants to be but in terms of what that flaw is I couldn't tell you."
Coach Robbie Deans would not be drawn on Giteau's kicking performance, preferring to address the task of hauling in New Zealand. And although he acknowledges his side has improved, he is not willing to settle for coming close against the country of his birth.
"It's evident that the group is progressing. But the All Blacks are still the benchmark," he said. "The step's not enormous but it is going to take an effort. We've just got to keep going, it's that simple. You don't become No.1 in the world without an effort. You can't package it, no matter which way you look at it, we're disappointed. We came to win, we're prepared to win and we didn't win.
"You've got to give the All Blacks credit for what they've achieved, what they've done in recent times. They're playing good Rugby, they're the best side in the world but we're not resigned to that. We'll just keep working on our own game, working on what we bring to the game."
Deans said the most pleasing aspect from his team's Tri-Nations campaign was the development of a squad he feels has the depth to carry the team into next year's Rugby World Cup.
"There are any number of players who are integral, the good thing is the number who have integrated into our team," he said. "I take great heart from that, not the fact that we're closer on the scoreboard."

Hi, I happened across your comment. John and Amelia Skurnog were the ones that bought the home from your Grandparents in 1963. They were my mother's godparents and beloved family. Amelia passed away in the early 90's from cancer, John remarried and sadly passed away in 2009 at 89 years of age, followed by his wife in 2012. As far as my family knows her family is currently in possession of the house and responsible for it. My family and I recently drove by as well and are heartbroken to see the home we grew up spending so much time at in such poor shape.

MY GRANDPARENTS (George & Helen Widel) built this house in 1948 or 1949. They lived there until my grandfather died in 1962. My grandmother then sold the house I Think in 1963 to Mr & Mrs. Skurnog. Not sure what happened to them....maybe passed away or in a nursing home. I have been past the house presently and it is in really bad shape and the grass is over a foot high. I have no idea what happened or why it has been let go. If you have any information would you please let me know know. I don't know what you need to know but my brother might have more answers.See this property: 9965 FRANKLIN PIKE, MEADVILLE, PA

Babyfoot 30mins Easypack Couple Set
1 pair x Babyfoot 30mins Easypack M size
1 pair x Babyfoot 30mins Easypack L size
Japan's 4th generation of Baby Foot Easy Pack is now available! With a 3D tall boot design and the first in the market with a 30min quick application formula. The pH 3.6 formula and 17 natural extracts gives your feet a gentle yet thorough exfoliation with a new pleasant citrus scent.
If you have never heard of Baby Foot, but wish to have beautiful, soft and silky smooth feet, read on to learn more!
More and more people are having various troubles with the soles of their feet because their feet and legs are forced to be overworked in the modern society. The soles, however, do not attract public attention and therefore, not many people take good care of them. Baby Foot was developed, in particular, to care for the dead skin cells on the soles of the feet, which create problems. Baby Foot maintains and cares for the soles of your feet.
The skin on the sole is thicker than other areas of the body. Therefore, dead skin cells can easily accumulate because of the load placed on the soles due to pressure of weight, friction or exercise. The principal ingredient of Baby Foot is Citric Acid, which is an organic acid used since ancient times. It penetrates into the layer of dead skin cells and works on the desmosomes between the skin layers, enabling easier peeling. The dead skin peels off naturally due to a natural skin turnover cycle and friction, which occurs daily. In addition, Baby Foot contains 13 types of natural extracts with high moisturizing power. The foot is reborn, just like a baby's, after peeling. Baby Foot is a total foot care product, not only for peeling, but also for maintaining healthy feet.
Baby Foot Easy Pack is the 4th generation of the original Baby Foot Deep Exfoliation Kit. It is easier, faster to use and more effective. Made with a new citrus gel formulation, Baby Foot Easy Pack works like a foot mask.
Simply wear the 3D plastic boots provided for 30mins, and wash your feet after. (Each pair in the foot pack is only for one-time use.)
Baby Foot allows your feet to be reborn. It thoroughly exfoliates the dead skin cells on your feet, eliminating problems like cracked heels or athlete's foot. Just one application and 7 days later, you get smooth and tender skin, just like a baby's foot. So why wait? Try Baby Foot today and walk your way to healthy, baby-like feet!

KQED World: Thu, Oct 10, 2013 -- 5:00 AM
This documentary showcases Gleaton's award-winning photography of black and American Indian cowboys, the African diaspora in Latin America, and the assimilation of Asians, Africans and Europeans with indigenous Americans. The program explores how Gleaton, while shooting in documentary style, connects with his subjects to achieve a one-of-a-kind image. It features more than 80 of Gleaton's black-and-white portraits.
Gleaton, whose photographs focus on the social construction of race, is best known for his collection, Africa's Legacy in Mexico, Central and South America. His work, which captures images of people separated from the dominant cultural group, has been exhibited in galleries throughout the United States and Mexico, including the National Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Smithsonian.
Photographers Gary Miller and Andrew Liccardo comment on Gleaton's pioneering work in the area of cultural photography. Historian William Tydeman, director of the Texas Tech University Southwest Collection, predicts Gleaton will have a prominent place in the history of documentary photography. According to Tydeman, "Tony will be at the absolute top of those photographers who have had a concentration on ethnicity, on race and the interactions between race, culture and behavior."

text: Longevity insurance will provide you income in your much-later years for a smaller cost now. By Susan B. Garland, Contributing Editor April 24, 2012 "Longevity planning" is one of the newest trends in retirement planning. The big question facing aging baby boomers: How do you protect a nest egg as life expectancy rises, pensions disappear and market uncertainty persists?SEE ALSO: Special Report on Understanding Annuities Creating an income stream that could last well into your nineties is not idle exercise. Thirty percent of all women and 20% of men who reach 65 can expect to live into their nineties, according to the Society of Actuaries. Financial institutions are developing all sorts of annuity products that offer guaranteed income streams for life for those aging boomers. Depending on the annuity you choose, payments either start immediately or are deferred about five to ten years after you invest. But if you want the biggest bang for your buck when you reach the oldest of old age, you could consider a fairly new product called "longevity insurance." The concept is simple: You pay a lump sum to an insurance company at or before retirement age. Starting at age 85, the insurer pays you a relatively large (compared with payouts from traditional annuities) stream of monthly payments for life -- however many years might be left in it. There is a catch: In return for the big payouts, the insurer will keep the entire premium if you die before 85. Advertisement The long lead time until payouts makes longevity insurance a tough sell. "People underestimate their own longevity," says Paul Horrocks, vice-president of New York Life, which sells such a product, along with Symetra Life Insurance and MetLife. (Hartford Financial Services, another seller, is pulling out of the individual annuity market.) Longevity products can offer larger payouts for a smaller upfront cost than other annuities because the insurance company holds -- and grows -- your money for a longer time before payouts commence. Also, the insurer assumes that a certain number of policyholders will die (hopefully not you, dear reader!) before or soon after payouts begin. MetLife's Longevity Income Guarantee product is one example: With its Maximum Income version, a man who invests $50,000 at age 65 will buy $1,481 in guaranteed monthly income for life starting at age 85 ($1,184 for women because of their longer life expectancy). Compare that payout with the income stream from an immediate annuity, which starts right away. A 65-year-old man who spends $50,000 on an immediate annuity would get just $290 a month. Sure, the payments kick in at 65, but they won't be of much help at 85 if the man's savings are just about gone by then. Longevity insurance serves a different purpose than other types of annuities. You would take out an immediate annuity, perhaps right after retirement, if you want to make sure you have an income stream to pay your monthly fixed costs, such as utilities and health care premiums. If your savings take a nosedive, at least you know you're covered for the basics. Advertisement Longevity insurance protects you from running out of money if you live way beyond your life expectancy. By knowing that you're covered against the costs of old-old age, you are freer to spend more -- and invest more aggressively -- between the ages of 65 and 85, says Jody Strakosch, national director for strategic alliances in MetLife's annuities division. "You have the certainty of knowing that when you turn 85, you have a new source of income," Strakosch says. Longevity insurance is not for everyone. You should consider the product only if you're relatively healthy and can afford the lump-sum premium without putting a crimp in your standard of living, according to a study by the Brandes Institute, a division of San Diego advisory firm Brandes Investment Partners. Barry Gillman, research director of the Brandes Institute Advisory Board, recommends not spending more than 5% to 10% of your nest egg on longevity insurance. "You should look at this as a supplement" to other sources of income in later life, he says. Longevity insurance also may be a better choice than a long-term-care policy if you expect to remain healthy well into old age, says Gillman. And if you end up needing long-term care after you turn 85, the longevity insurance's payouts will cover at least part of your expenses. Of course, says Gillman, "the real risk is that you take out a longevity policy and you get sick at 75." Advertisement You can use the Brandes Retirement Simulator (www.brandes.com/institute) to figure out if you should consider a policy. Plug in your future income, expenses and investment strategy, and the calculator will project various financial outcomes if you live until 100. It will show you the possible impact of longevity insurance on current spending and on your income after age 85. Brandes does not sell longevity insurance. The drawback of longevity insurance is that if you die before the start date, you've lost your investment. And once you hand over your money, you can't get it back. Moreover, longevity insurance generally does not adjust for inflation. You can buy a hedge-your-bets version of longevity insurance to protect your investment from inflation or an early demise. But those protections come at a cost -- which defeats part of the purpose of longevity insurance. With Symetra's longevity product, for example, you can sign up for a payout to your beneficiaries if you die within a certain time period. Or you can buy a joint survivor option that pays out for your lifetime or your spouse's -- whichever is longer. With both options, your monthly payout will be smaller. Advertisement MetLife offers a Flexible Access version of its Longevity Income Guarantee product. As its name implies, this product offers more flexibility than the company's Maximum Access version. You can start collecting payments before age 85. You can make several premium payments rather than one lump sum, and you can choose a joint survivor option. If you die before taking income, your heirs will receive a benefit equal to your total premium payments compounded at 3% annual. You also can receive part or all of your initial payment(s) back within 60 days after you start taking income. "This product is for someone who is worried about not getting anything back for his heirs or spouse," Strakosch says. It's also an option for investors who are concerned about running short of money earlier than expected. Such flexibility is pricey. A man who invests $50,000 at 65 and wants payments at 85 under Flexible Access will get $960 a month, compared with $1,481 with the Maximum Access option. If he pays $50,000 at 60 and takes payments at 75, he'll receive $553. Other Options for Late-in-Life Income Streams If you're uncomfortable with buying an annuity with a long deferral period, you may be able to boost late-in-life income with other strategies. For example, you can buy several immediate-payout annuities over time and combine those payouts with tax-free income from a Roth IRA, says Dan Keady, director of financial planning for TIAA-CREF, which sells immediate annuities but does not sell longevity insurance. Here's how this strategy would work: At retirement age, you figure out your fixed expenses that are not covered by Social Security and other guaranteed income. Then you buy an immediate annuity to cover those costs. In the meantime, you would convert part of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. At age 70 1/2, you won't have to take required minimum distributions, and you can allow the money to grow tax-free. Later on, if you need additional income, you can buy another immediate annuity; those payments are added to those generated by your first annuity. Keady says this strategy serves a couple of purposes. With your fixed expenses covered, you won't have to withdraw from your investments if the market drops. And you'll have the extra cushion of the Roth if you need the money in late life. "You have the annuity stream and you have the Roth in reserve," he says. "If you're 90 and you need the money, it's there -- or you can pass the Roth on to your heirs."

Lithuanian Coffee Cake from Claire's Corner Copia in New Haven, CT
I wouldn't be surprised if more people were familiar with Lithuanian coffee cake in New Haven, Connecticut, than in Lithuania proper. Why do the locals, namely Yalies, love this treat from Claire's Corner Copia so? Three reasons: the dense sour cream cake, the middle brown stripe (sweet raisins and walnuts coated in brown sugar and coffee grounds), and the buttercream frosting. While most coffee cakes are just nice things to nosh on between gulps of coffee, this one actually has coffee in it.
The recipe is from the mom of a former employee at Claire's Corner Copia (can we stop to appreciate that name for a second? it's on a corner!) who was from Lithuania and used to joke that her cake had something to do with the fall of the Soviet bloc. It's still a big hit today, and sold by the slice ($4.15) or the whole cake, which can be pre-ordered.
Dana of Proof of the Pudding tried to recreate the recipe but didn't get identical results until, many batches later, she had a BINGO moment. "Did I successfully recreate the legendary Lith? I came close--really close." Scroll down for the recipe. Do you have a favorite coffee cake? Does it actually have coffee in it?

She was bored and lonely just hanging out all by herself while her hubby was away on business, so she figured she would invite them over for lunch and some fun. After they ate, they retired to the backyard gazebo to relax and have a couple drinks. Play time started as soon as they noticed Summer's nipples standing at attention, due to the twilight breeze and evening chill beginning to settle in. They greeted the night completely satiated sexually. Summer and Cherie made sure they thanked their hostess for such a wonderful afternoon.
