Amazon sets date for Kindle Touch UK touchdown
Touchscreen kit arrives on 27 April
Posted in The Channel, 28th March 2012 09:43 GMT
The Kindle Touch will be out in the UK from 27 April, and is available to pre-order on Amazon from today. At a cost of £109 (with free delivery), the Wi-Fi Kindle Touch has a multi-touch E Ink display – making it a step-up from the button-clicking vanilla Kindle.
The Kindle Touch has a two-month battery life and text to speech functionality. It has 4GB of internal storage and comes with free cloud storage for all Amazon content.
The Kindle Touch 3G is on sale too: for £169.
The Kindle "Family" with new sibling Touch in the centre
Brits are still waiting for Amazon's latest Kindle – the full-colour, web-browsing, multi-touch Fire – to make it across the Atlantic, but there appear to be no signs of its arrival in the near future. ®

It's amazing nobody has acknowledged this, it's clear Sanchez was looking to slide in whatever crease he could find, but as he was going into that sliding motion, Moore is pushed back into him, which esentially renders Sanchez in a defenseless position, it's really not surprising why the play ended up the way that he did. The REAL mistake on that play is Sanchez turning the wrong way on the handoff, or the RB running the wrong play.
But hey, fans and the media have their own agendas.
You blame the officiating, the injuries, the youth, everything but the real issue. The Jets simply don't have much talent at the skill positions, and they misuse and can't develop the little talent that is there. For that you should be blaming Tanny and Rex.
I'm comparing losing key impact players on the team
The Jets have talent at the skill positions, they lost their two best players for much of the season, only Keller has since returned, but they are still dealing with youth and transition at the same positions, it is one of my main arguments for many of Sanchez' struggles.
No, it was a busted play that he tried to gain positive yardage, it was clearly a play where Moore was knocked into Sanchez as Sanchez was trying to slide in whatever crease he could find.
He's not Cam Newton? Man, that is some amazing insight right there. Did you think of that one all by yourself?

It sounds like your mom thinks someone sabotaged her meat. If I had any suspicion that these people had sabotaged my meat, they would no long be welcome in my home. And I would say that for anyone I suspected of sabotaging anything in my home. My home is where I get to be safe, if someone can't allow me to be safe in my home, they don't get to be thereNo they do not get dictate the contents of another's kitchen. Nor do they get to make comments about it and be considered polite.
But I don't think vegetarian guests get to dictate their hosts not have meat in the refrigerator just because they are staying there.
My stomach squicks at meat counters in stores, I avoid meat markets, and I would not care to see a hunk of raw meat out in the open in someone's refrigerator. I am a grown up and were I a guest, I would deal, silently. But I honestly wouldn't want to put my food in there or use that refrigerator, so I would, without comment, make arrangements that made me comfortable. Coolers are cheap. So is ice.I absolutely cannot imagine someone doing something to the meat in that refrigerator. What? Why? Foods being marinated should be enclosed, not out in the open, I believe, from a culinary aspect. I suspect refrigerator funk. And I don't care for preachy anybodys, including other vegetarians.

Florida Realtors, the ACLU, the Catholic Church, and the Teachers Union all spent lightly to educate voters on a handful of amendments on the ballot.
"Takes away coverage from those who have it now."
The lack of education on amendments is one of the reasons there were lines at all.
What is clear if so many people hadn't voted early, it would be a long line out the door Tuesday?
Odis Henry spent 16 minutes inside his polling place. "A lot of writing, a lot to read. Important amendments."
Even for prepared voters like John Cooler, it still took about ten minutes to get through the eleven amendments. "I do always read ahead of time trying to get up on local amendments that's the hard part."
One of the biggest problem facing voters was the delay often caused by people reading the amendments.
"The length of the ballot as you all know that has been somewhat of an issue in the early voting process," said Ken Detzner.
Governor Rick Scott voted in Naples, and then flew to the Capitol to oversee the election. He has faced criticism for not extending early voting that would have reduced Tuesday's lines. "You know I'm going to do anything I can to enforce the law and the law was early voting and that ended Saturday night."
Four and a half million people voted early or by mail. By poll closing a record 9 million people are expected to have cast a ballot.
Voters still waiting in line at 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot.

Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride, a Rock Island Democrat, will yield control of the Illinois Supreme Court next month to a new chief justice, Rita Garman, a Danville Republican.
One of Kilbride's initiatives during the past 3 years – allowing news cameras and microphones in certain courtrooms on a trial basis – appears to be in good hands.
We are thankful for that.
After the latest group of counties was accepted last week for the Extended Media Coverage trial program, Garman voiced her support.
"I am pleased to see the Sixth Circuit [Champaign, DeWitt, Douglas, Macon, Moultrie and Piatt counties] participate in the pilot project," Garman stated in a news release.
Garman, who will mark her 40th anniversary in the judiciary in January, appears to be fully on board with Kilbride's initiative, which was announced in January 2012.
The number of counties participating in the pilot project has now increased to 35, a number that includes Whiteside, Lee, Ogle and Carroll counties.
Participating counties range from northwestern Illinois to northeastern Illinois, from the Chicago collar counties to the St. Louis Metro East, from east-central Illinois to far southern Illinois.
But Illinois has 102 counties, meaning that courtrooms in 67 counties still do not allow access to news cameras and microphones.
Frankly, we had hoped that cameras in the courtroom would become a permanent fixture statewide before Kilbride left his 3-year term as chief justice next month.
However, Garman's commitment to cameras in the courtroom appears sincere.
In addition, Kilbride still has 7 years left in his term to further promote his initiative, so the chances that it will stall are minimal.
Based on Sauk Valley Media's experience with cameras in the courtroom, the process works well. News photographers and videographers have proved they can operate still and video cameras in an unobtrusive manner during trials.
We believe the images and video show the public a criminal justice system that operates in a professional manner as defendants are tried for serious crimes.
The result should be greater public confidence in the courts, along with greater protection for the rights of defendants.
We salute outgoing Chief Justice Kilbride for his groundbreaking initiative, and we encourage incoming Chief Justice Garman to carry it through to a successful conclusion.

Submission + - One-of-a-kind chemistry autograph collection goes digital (acs.org)
carmendrahl writes: "A science historian has collaborated with a publisher to digitize a one-of-a kind collection of chemists' signatures. In the shadow of World War II, a Japanese chemist named Tetsuo Nozoe traveled outside his land for the first time, and collected autographs from the people he met on the way. This turned into a forty year hobby, and a 1200-page collection. The digital collection sucks chemists in for hours- it's full of cartoons, jokes, haikus, and scribbles the signers admit to having scrawled "in a drunken state". Nobel Prizewinners and ordinary chemists signed side-by-side. The Nozoe notebook collection will be open access for at least three years, with a big goal being to identify all the "mystery" signatures in the collection with help from readers."

Some retailers have taken drastic measures to curb the practice, such as blocking barcodes. While likely futile, the effort to stop showrooming is an understandable if sometimes unsubtle reaction to fears of death by a billion clicks.
But the world's largest retailer hasn't tried to build a fence to block showrooming. Instead, in an act of digital judo, Walmart is urging shoppers to get out their smartphones when they come into a store.
"You've got to go where the customer wants you to go. We live in the age of the customer," Walmart.com President and CEO Joel Anderson told Wired in an interview this week. "We're embracing showrooming."

My mother, Antonia, and three of her four female siblings were victims of Alzheimer's.
The year 2014 was an extremely hard year for me.... JANUARY 2014:I lost my 86-year mother to a 10-year journey with Parkinson's - - - with the last 3 years in which she also suffered from Alzheimer's. She was so kind, loved to draw and paint. She volunteered as a 4-H advisor and a Girl Scout leader....always sharing her love of art with the children of our community. JULY 2014:After an 8-year battle, I lost my loving husband of 44 years to Frontal Temporal Dementia. An alum of The Ohio State University with a degree in Histo
My journey began in 2002 when I recognized that my mother leaving a key ingredient out of a recipe she had made literally hundreds of times was not just a singular event. She had also lost her way while driving in the small town where she had always lived but my father was hiding the reality how bad her memory had become. She fell the year before and an ER physician discovered a non-cancerous tumor on her brain. A trusted friend and neuro-surgeon felt certain the tumor needed to be removed and so we agreed to the surgery.

I wonder when will we learn that fighting the Nature is not the best path to survival.
Are those bioengineers creationists who didn't think nature would adapt to those new genes? crazy.
No. I'm sure they were counting on it. Or more accurately their employers are. Patents last too long but they still don't last forever!
is this: agricultural scientists weren't allowed by seed companies to study the engineered corn until 2010.
surely with the help of our corrupt lawmakers.
How in the hell can scientists NOT be allowed to study IN DETAIL, and from the get-go, something as fundamentally groundbreaking and new as genetic engineering applied on a planet-wide scale for the first time ever in the history of life itself?
We need a revolution to overthrow the current government structures the world over, and sooner rather than later, if only because some day, Something Bad[tm] will happen that'll cause genuine harm to humanity.
What about focusing the greatest minds and resources on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections ?
I saw a researcher who was doing good research into the negative aspects of nicotine easily lured away by a tabacco company for 10x the salary.
I think it *could* work better than the Arab spring has. The major reason being Americans still have a vague cultural memory of what Washington and Jeffersonian democracy looked like.
If they ever do remove the blinders enough to see what is really going on in the first place, it won't be as easy to sell them a Plutocracy or Military dictatorship gussied up to look like a Republic at least not right after their brothers, sons, and daughters have just got done bleeding for freedom again.
Most people here are
Most people here are to comfortable though, so its not going to happen in the first place
Which is why I tried pointing out to the above poster that a revolu
You are more likely to get a Putin than a Gorbachev, and there are many more Ted Cruz-like asshats out there than there are George Washingtons.
Ukraine just had a revolution. Look what happened? Woe to you if you live in Crimea. You are now Russian with Putin spies all over and will dissapear if you do not watch what you say or act carefully. Sounds better under the corrupt Ukraine dictatorship if you ask me.
George Washington's revolution? Yeah, he started it, he lead it and he shaped the ideas that came out of it. All by himself! And over 200 years later those ideas are still what our government today runs on!
May I buy you a history book?
The trouble is these things come with what amounts to a EULA. Look how things worked out for that farmer who bought GM soy from a grain silo and tried to use it for seed: law suit city.
I am sure the farmers were forbidden from furnishing the plants to anyone who was not going to be using them for animal or human consumption. So its not that nobody could study it but that there would have been nothing but pain associated with doing so. As soon as they went to publish or even just talk about it, they would
If legitimate, this "scientists weren't allowed" statement is indeed alarming. However, it was also given without details, basis, or evidence. I am a scientist, and I don't give a damn about what my industry wants me to study. Who are these pansy agricultural scientists that ask companies for permission about what to study? Was a scientist actually sued? Can anyone document any details of a possible threat, even a subtle or implied one? How did these companies manange to distribute these seeds so widely to farmers while completely preventing all scientists from obtaining a single sample? Come on, evidence please! Until then, I really want to be inflamed by this story. Can anyone with some real details help me out?
Here's the explanation. There was no Grand Consipracy to prevent scientists from obtaining and studying the seeds. What wasn't allowed was for scientists to have access to the fields where the plants were being commercially grown.
They *could* have obtained the seeds, planted them, and done their studies on those crops. But they couldn't possibly reproduce the sheer scale of Mega-agrobusiness. Since evolution involves lots of random chance, there would be a lot more chances for resistance to develop in t
Our corrupt government allows corporations to poison our food in order to poison the bugs that eat it.
The bugs evolve to resist the poison, making the poison pointless.
Our government allows corporations to continue poisoning our food because the corporations have become dependent on the income the poisoning provides.
We are still being poisoned, and will continue to be poisoned.
Yet genetically altering our food is somehow still considered a good thing by the clueless. Sadly, the clueless are the ones making
The Tea Party is counter revolution of more corporate control and less goverment and liberalism.
The Tea Party is winning. Expect more corruption and more power to the big boys and the citizens are all brainwashed and in line thinking less government is really for them lol
Of course the reverse of this is less corporate control and more government control.
Please tell me, whats the scarier proposition, bunches of really big and wealthy companies that we can often choose to deal with or not, or a huge massive government that has many times the resources of these companies and can jail you or worse?
It boggles my mind that someone could actually argue that the solution to us having too many powerful companies is making our massively powerful government even more powerful.
As count
You seem confused about how the government works:
1) A big government is what keeps companies in check. More regulations = bigger government. Fewer regulations = big companies have more power. Read up on the Square Deal and President Theodore Roosevelt and see what happens when there are not enough regulations. Monopolies are very, very bad.
2) Copyright and patents came about because it protects the artist/inventor who could be run out of business by someone copying his own creation. The fact that IP law abu
We need to start outsourcing our problems to Nature. How about we genetically engineer corn which can only be eaten by organisms which excrete efficient batteries, BitCoins and flying cars?
Okay, I can be pretty dense when it comes to reading between the lines, but even I notice a heavy dose of agenda in this summary. It's a good thing the anti-GMO folks have a crystal ball to see the future clearly.
I guess we need our daily dose of propaganda though.

I'm pro-GMO but I think this is one of the legitimate issues. If you engineer something to resist a pest the pest is going to evolve a response, we've learned that lesson countless times with anti-biotics but the pests evolve faster than human nature.

Perhaps I am missing something but I fail to see the issue? it was completely expected for the pests to overcome it, GE corn was never going to be a solution forever, it doesn't negate all the years of use they got out of not having to use a heap of chemicals to kill the pests. Now they have to go back to chemicals again though, at least until they find the next method to counter them.
So previous to this seed we use pesticides to combat rootworms because farmers grow the same crop year after year permitting rootworm populations to rapidly grow. The seed is introduced which the corn produces its own pesticide. The seed is used, once again year after year. The rootworms become resistant. Farmers are now required to use pesticides once again.
We've returned to where we were about five years ago and about the worst thing you could say happened is that this particular modification of corn to c
My problem isn't with the information provided, my problem is how they are framing the summary. It comes across as an emotional plea rather than actually providing knowledge/data. The message is getting lost in the rhetoric, imo.
Years ago (10 years or more)? There was a study about the arms race in agricultural pest control. The subject of this study was a genetically engineered crop that made its own poison, but that was not really relevant to the outcome of the study. Traditional spraying would have the same effect.
It was discovered that poison did not only fight pests, it also helps pests. The non-resistant pest bugs were killed, but the resistant pest bugs were given a predator-free environment. This was important, because the poison resistance often comes with lower chances of survival in non-poisoned environments. For example, one poison had an impact on the nerve system, paralysing non-resistant bugs. Resistant bugs had a nerve system that worked much slower, so they would be a "sitting duck" in a natural environment.
the study showed that if a certain portion of the land (recommended was 15% to 20%, which sound like a lot, but is peanuts compared to the 60% loss often found due to resistant pests) was planted with non-poisoned crops, the whole arms race could actually be stopped. The bugs would move between plants, and if they came on a poisoned plant they would be attacked by the poison, and if they came on a natural plant, they would be attacked by their natural predators.
Yep, it's called refuge. And that's why you will find, today, that the recommendation is to do exactly as you say. You'll even find Monsanto, BASF and Pioneer telling you to do that, and even selling the seeds for both. If you find a farmer that doesn't know that, he's not paying attention.
Now, good luck finding people that know this unless they have farmers or agronomists in the family.
In Iowa, refuge rows are required. I forget if it is 10% or 20% refuge rows, but anyway, they are required by law. I guess this is not a requirement in other states?
So there was a switch to rootworm resistant corn, which I'd assume came with a declining use of pesticide. If the rootworms overcame resistance to the resistant corn, does this mean they may have lost some of their resistance to the pesticide?
Or are these resistances somehow retained or overlapping so that we have rootworms with high resistance to both?
Other than the nasty concept of pesticide use generally, it sounds like maybe this would allow for a switch back to pesticides which the rootworms may have lost resistance to.
Or will my cynicism be correct, that farmers will use both the resistant seed AND pesticide and develop a super-rootworm with strong resistance to both?
as long as they have little S symbols on their chests so we can easily identify them.
evolution isn't real, right? adaptation to environmental stresses just a theory...
tell that to these farmers.
or two, it was well worth the experiment, at least to the CEO and shareholders. The CEO got his bonus and the shareholders got their bump in the price and that's all that matters.
When the CEO lays off all the genetic engineers because of this "problem" the shareholders will reward him with another bonus for being so proactive.
I don't know why you guys are getting so upset. It says right there in the Bible that God gave us all the plants and animals to do with as we see fit.
"1996. The first reports of root worm resistance were officially documented in 2011"
So we got 15 years of pesticide-free corn? And the downside is we have to return to what we used to do, until we get another variety?
If it's 15 years for that one too, I suspect we can out engineer the bugs continually.
Although I agree, the critical question really becomes: Did we get value for that corn over that timescale, enough to justify changing over to it.
Did the cost of not having to use pesticide X scale in comparison to the cost of finding new pesticide Y within 15 years (which, let's face it, is largely a random number determined by genetic mutation chance) and deploying it?
How much do farmers have invested in this? How much profit/loss would they have made just using the old pesticide or even suffering losse
There is noting weird and baleful about GM species that causes them to behave differently from non-GMOs in the environment, including how other species co-evolve in response to them. There was an early belief that transfer of genes between species was special manmade magic, until it was found that this happens in nature too: http://davesgarden.com/guides/... [davesgarden.com]
Genetic engineering is nothing but a precisely targeted way of accomplishing changes that used to take generations of cross-breeding and culling.
It doesn't exempt itself from evolution. So the question we need to be asking ourselves is, WHEN pests evolve to thwart GMO "innovations" what might those pests be able to DO how BAD will THAT be and how are we going to deal with it and how quickly can we react what happens to the food supply if we CAN'T?
More on this unexpected development later.
Either in "Stand on Sansibar" or "Sheep looking up" I think the latter one. Well at his time it was considered SF. However it was plausible. And I'm not surprised that it indeed worked. Now lets wait for the worms to really mutate and become nasty

"Fast Track" to CTAHR Exposes High School Students to New OpportunitiesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs
Kristen Cabral, (808) 956-5039
Public Information Officer
The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has partnered with Na Pua Noʻeau, The Center for Gifted and Talented Native Hawaiian Children, to offer a two-week residential educational enrichment program for high school juniors and seniors from June 16-28, "The Fast Track: Career Pathways to the Food and Agricultural Sciences and Technology." An evening event to celebrate the program and feature the students' work will be held on Friday, June 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. at UH Mānoa. The event is free and open to the public.
This summer's program at the UH Mānoa campus has 15 high school juniors and seniors from Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi exploring watersheds, bioremediation sites, molecular biology, past and current taro cultivation and concerns, nutrition, and native Hawaiian costuming. Students start their day with cultural activities, then charge into a full day of lab, classroom and fieldwork, and end with cultural and technological nighttime events. A focus on Hawaiian culture and values, including the importance and involvement of ʻohana, and self-esteem, are interwoven into enhancing student talents — a model established by Na Pua Noʻeau and used with Native Hawaiian students on the high school level.
"The energy and enthusiasm generated by the faculty and students in this program is contagious. Teams of learners composed of high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, and college professors, all working together toward common goals and enjoying the pathways the experiences are leading them along are perfect examples of what educational experiences should be like," said Marlene Hapai, CTAHR's Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs and Principal Investigator of the USDA grant funding the program.
Seniors accepted into the program will receive scholarships this fall into CTAHR's new and revised programs in Natural Resources and Environmental Management, Bioengineering, Food Science and Human Nutrition, Plant and Environmental Biotechnology and Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences. They will also become part of CTAHR's freshmen learning community in the fall, which provides continued academic guidance and social support.
Students will present both the cultural and academic components of their program at the culminating event on Friday, June 28. Program presentations will include student work done together with CTAHR faculty mentors as follows: "The Magic of Molecules" with Dr. Dulal Borthakur, "What Does it Mean to be Healthy?" with Dr. Alan Titchenal, "Kalo — Its Past and Its Future" with Dr. Goro Uehara, "Using Nature to Nurture Nature" with Dr. Traci Sylva, "Culture, Community and Clothing" with Dr. Linda Arthur, and "Ahupua'a Awareness: Caring for Hawaiian Watersheds" with Dr. Carl Evensen.
The program will be followed by a mini open house featuring some of the participating programs and refreshments. For more information about the program, contact Program Coordinator Teresa Wagoner at 956-6997.

I do understand the syntax of Perl filehandles. The ambiguity comes between printing to a filehandle and printing a variable to STDOUT. i.e.:
These two similar looking print statements do something very different. It is not a big deal in this case, but when you replace 'foo' with an expression it can be hard to tell whether $f is a filehandle or a variable. In fact, sometimes even the interpreter can't tell, as the documentation you linked to points out:
(NOTE: If FILEHANDLE is a variable and the next token is a term, it may be misinterpreted as an operator unless you interpose a + or put parentheses around the arguments.)
Here is a simple example that the compiler can't correctly handle without braces:

In order to enhance development of muscle strength and size, you need to be engaged in resistance training. This is mandatory. In order to get the most bang for your resistance training buck, you need to have adequate testosterone levels. Testosterone is a steroid hormone secreted from specialized cells in the testes in men and in smaller amounts from the ovaries in women. Testosterone has potent anabolic (muscle building) effects on muscle tissue.
What can elevated testosterone levels do?
Three absolute requirements to build muscle
One way to naturally manipulate testosterone levels is through diet. Dietary nutrients and hormones (like testosterone) work together to regulate repair of skeletal muscle proteins that are broken down during training. Manipulation of these variables to favor anabolism (building up) over catabolism (breaking down) during recovery enhances the development of muscle strength and size. Resistance training provides the stimulus for increasing muscle size and strength but without the right building blocks supplied from diet and the right hormonal environment, optimal gains in size and strength will not be achieved.
In summary, cross-sectional and diet intervention studies indicate that low-fat diets (20-30% of calories) are associated with lower testosterone levels compared to diets higher in fat (about 40% of calories). The type of protein is also important. Reducing vegetable protein in favor of animal protein can increase the resting testosterone levels and complement, not blunt, the normal exercise-induced increase in testosterone.Testosterone killer - calorie restriction
Other studies have also shown decreases in testosterone levels in wrestlers while consuming a low caloric energy diet. Guezennec et al (1994) measured testosterone in soldiers consuming low (1800 kcal/day), moderate (3200 kcal/day), or high (4200 kcal/day) calorie diets with similar ratios of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. The diets were consumed during 5 days of prolonged exercise and sleep deprivation (4 hrs/day). After 5 days, testosterone had decreased by ~50% on the low calorie diet and only about ~20% on the moderate and high calorie diets. These findings indicate that exhaustive exercise can decrease testosterone levels and that inadequate energy can speed up the decrease in testosterone.
Collectively the studies that have examined the effects of energy intake on testosterone indicate that large reductions in calories and body weight can reduce testosterone levels. This is especially true if a large reduction in calories is combined with prolonged and exhaustive physical activity. If weight loss is a goal, a much better approach would be to reduce calories slightly (about 300-500 kcal/day) and incorporate heavy resistance training into your exercise program. This should eliminate the decrease in testosterone that typically occurs when calories are reduced.The bottom line

Friday night thousands of University of Kentucky students will take to the floor of Memorial Coliseum and dance their hearts out for a good cause.
The annual DanceBlue marathon benefits pediatric cancer at the University of Kentucky Children's Hospital.
WKYT'S Amber Philpott takes a look at how all that money is making a difference.
In eight years what might look like a lot of silliness and fun has raised a serious amount of money.
The DanceBlue marathon at UK has raised nearly $4 million for pediatric cancer research and children with cancer.
The Kentucky Children's Hospital Pediatric Oncology Clinic now bears the name DanceBlue.
Students often volunteer their time at the clinic, simple chores like cleaning toys is appreciated just as much as the money raised.
"For us its just amazing to know that so many people recognize how special our kids are and that their families need extra help and support," said Dr. Sherry Bayliff.
Dr. Bayliff is one of those on the front lines helping children fight cancer, her team sees some sixty new patients a year.
Dr. Bayliff says the most common cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
As hard as Dr. Bayliff works to treat cancer, she also works to track patients after.
In 2007 the clinic began a long term follow up program, something DanceBlue helps make possible.
17- year-old Michael Ethington is one of those patients.
Ethington was diagnosed with a type of lymphoma at the age of six.
Ethington endured four months of chemo at the time.
He doesn't remember cancer, but rather his experience at UK and someone special.
"I was in the clinic one day getting treatment and probably met one of my best friends," said Michael Ethington.
His cancer is gone, Ethington is now in that follow up program.
Now he returns on a regular basis to the clinic to be checked out.
"Initially our primary concern is following up patients to ensure their cancer doesn't come back," said Dr. Bayliff.
The follow up program works to make sure Ethington doesn't face any future complications later in life because of his treatment.
One more reason Dr. Bayliff thinks all that dancing is so important each year.
Recently DanceBlue was named one of the top ten biggest college fundraisers in the country.
The event kicks off Friday night and runs 24 hours at Memorial Coliseum.

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. - Columbia's heavyweight and lightweight rowing squads will wrap up the 2014 spring season at the IRA National Championships on Mercer Lake this weekend.
The heavyweights will take the water on Friday morning in the preliminary heats with the semifinals set to take place on Saturday and petite and grand finals on Sunday. The No. 4 lightweights will be in search of a medal for the second straight year when they compete on Sunday.
The Lions' heavweight varsity eight secured the final spot at the IRA's with a ninth place finish at the EARC Sprints on May 18. Columbia's top crew has improved its speed nearly in every race this season and will look to build on the strong Sprints performance.
Columbia's lightweights have been in the national spotlight all season long, ranking in the top-five of the USRowing Polls virtually all spring. The Lions enter the varsity eight boat that finished fourth in the grand final at EARC Sprints two weekends ago and a varsity four crew.

La Liga boasts some of the best talent in the world, so I've picked out a few superstars that have seemingly slipped under the radar of Europe's top clubs.
Just like how Michael Laudrup found Michu for Swansea, there are many undiscovered hidden gems in La Liga. With the transfer window coming to an end in just a few days, some stressed managers will be desperate to strengthen their squads, and here are three suggestions . . .
Nelson Oliveira - Deportivo La Coruna
Oliviera had a few brief appearances for Portugal in the Euro's last year, and has since been loaned to Deportivo La Coruna, who are struggling at the bottom of the table, four points adrift from safety.
Having been loaned from SL Benefica, it looks like the Portuguese league leaders are trying to aid his development process to bolster their chances next season.
Standing at 186cm, Oliviera is a striker who not only possesses aerial ability but also has a skilful touch on the ball. If they act fast, a host of Premier League clubs could swoop in and pick him up for a reasonable price.
Iker Munian - Athletic Club
Munian has been vital in Athletic de Bilbao's fight to stay in La Liga, playing almost every match Bilbao have faced in the league this season.
Munian is a skilful winger with pace, and is extremely highly-rated by officials at the club.
Munian could be available for the right price having yet to fulfil his potential, and teams could do a lot worse than to recruit the Spanish playmaker.
Thibaut Courtois - Atletico Madrid
A 20-year-old goalkeeper currently on loan from Chelsea to La Liga title contenders Atletico Madrid.
With Courtois' first-team chances at Chelsea severely restricted, the Spanish stopper is likely to be available on loan again next year.
However, Chelsea may be tempted to part with the former Genk keeper should the offer be big enough.

A Midway man has been charged with fleeing from the scene of a four-vehicle accident that sent three people to the hospital Friday night on Hickory Tree Road in Midway.
A Midway man has been charged with fleeing from the scene of a four-vehicle accident that sent three people to the hospital Friday night on Hickory Tree Road in Midway.
Jerry Shad Hartness, 36, of 230 Dogwood Drive, was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center on Saturday under a $75,000 secured bond. He has been charged with felony hit and run resulting in injury and driving while license revoked.
The accident was reported at 10:26 p.m. on Hickory Tree Road near North Wind Drive.
Hartness, driving a 1998 Acura passenger vehicle, was traveling east on Hickory Tree Road. At the same time, a 1993 Chevrolet passenger vehicle, a 2010 Ford passenger vehicle and a 1999 Saturn passenger vehicle were traveling west on Hickory Tree Road.
Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the N.C. Highway Patrol, said Hartness crossed the center line and struck the rear quarter panel of the Chevrolet, driven by Randall Scott Miller, 44, of Ridge Road. That impact caused the Chevrolet to spin around and run off the south side of Hickory Tree Road.
Hartness and his Acura continued to travel east in the westbound lane, at which time he struck the Ford, driven by 22-year-old Jenna Robbins of Old Thomasville Road, head-on, according to the SHP. That impact caused the Ford to travel backward in a southeasterly direction before the Saturn, driven by 18-year-old Christopher Johnson of Winston-Salem, sideswiped the Ford. The accident neared conclusion when the Saturn collided head-on with Hartness' Acura.
The Saturn and Acura stopped in the westbound lane. The Chevrolet stopped in the south shoulder while the Ford stopped in the eastbound lane.
An SHP trooper alleged that Hartness fled the scene on foot. He was arrested the next night at 11:17, according to court documents.
According to an arrest warrant, Trooper J.J. Sherrill alleges Hartness caused injury to his passenger, Paul Widener, 30, of Rural Hall; Robbins; and one of Robbins' passengers, Tiffany Bennett, 22, of Winston-Salem. Widener was the only patient from the accident listed as being hospitalized Monday morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. A hospital spokeswoman said Widener was in good condition.
It was unknown Monday if drugs or alcohol were contributing factors, according to the Highway Patrol. Hartness' original estimated travel speed was 50 miles per hour, the same speed as the posted limit on Hickory Tree Road where the wreck occurred.
Hartness has a court date of June 26.

Get cozy, SMPers, because one look at this wedding captured by Onelove Photography, and you'll want to stay awhile. It's a detail-filled love fest that wedding planning dreams are made of, and it was all whipped up by Off the Beaten Path Weddings. Best of all? This wedding looks Fun. Yes, with a capital F. Complete with a wedding theme based on the combo of their two last names, "Woopa," and about one million little details I want to kiss – this is a must see for sure. And you can see every last fabulous bit right here.
From the bride… The theme of our wedding was "woopa". this is a nickname our friends call us that joins our two last names- Wood & Patrino. we made a sign of vintage marquee letters that lit up which read "woopa" on the side of the barn. Dinner was served next to the barn under a grove of trees with twinkle lights hung from tree to tree. We sent everyone home with "woopa pies" (whoopie pies) that my mom had made from scratch. We really wanted the wedding to be colorful which would really create the fun party energy that we were looking for. It was a very rustic country setting, however I wanted to incorporate a sophisticated chic element with color, as I didn't want it to be overly rustic. I would say it was a rustic chic wedding. The tables had navy and white runners with colorful flowers. The boys in the wedding party wore navy & white gingham shirts, khaki pants, navy vans & a navy pink tie. The girls wore navy dresses with fuchsia heels.
We wanted our wedding to be an amazingly fun party in the middle of the vineyards with fabulous food and wine. We really just wanted it to have a light-hearted sentimate, so that the guests could really relax and have FUN. Nothing stuffy about it.

Vin Scully On The Day He Managed The Dodgers
After the LA Dodgers clinched the NL West on October 3rd, Joe Torre allowed backup catcher Brad Ausmus to manage the Dodgers the following day in their regular season finale – a 9-5 win over the Colorado Rockies.
That inspired the legendary Vin Scully to weave a story into his play-by-play that afternoon of the time that he managed the Dodgers from the radio booth.
The folks from the "Sons of Steve Garvey" blog wrote down what Scully had to say:
If you don't mind me reminiscing, thinking about Brad Ausmus being the manager. I actually managed the Dodgers during a game.
The pitch is off the plate.
Walter Alston was the manager of the Dodgers and we were playing a game right here at Dodger Stadium, and we used to have a headset in the dugout for interviews and also, when you got in a tough pennant race, guys liked to hear scores of other games.
One-one pitch and that's a strike, one and two.
Anyway, it was like today, many years ago, about 1965, and the phone rang in the booth and it was Walter Alston. And he said, "Look, I'm going to wear the headset, and you manage."
And we were on the phone during a commercial break.
I said, "You're kidding."
He said, "No, I want you to manage."
I said, "All right."
He said, "The only thing, you gotta be quick."
I said, "Well, I'll try."
Two and two the count to A.J. Ellis.
Ron Fairly was the runner at first base and Ron had consumed a bit of champagne the night before, during the celebration. 'Cause in those days, you won the pennant, it was really a big deal.
That's a drive into center for a base hit, so Ellis will pick up a run batted in as he picks up Casey Blake, and the Dodgers lead four to nothing, and maybe this isn't a bad time to talk about my managerial experience.
They get the ball now for A.J. Ellis, his first big-league hit and run batted in, so it's a big day for him.
Anyway, to get back to me [laughs] and that's a terrible way to put it, but I think you'll understand.
Here is Vicente Padilla.
So anyway, Fairly got to first base, and now I know that Alston is listening, and so is the crowd. In those days, everybody had transistor radios.
And the pitch is ball one.
So I said, on the air, "You know, I hate to do this to my friend Fairly, and I know he's not feeling well, he's full of champagne, but — I want him going."
And so — here's the one-oh pitch. Fouled back.
And Alston flashed the sign, and the crowd now is into the game, and they see Fairly take the greatest double-take you ever saw, looking in to the manager as if to say, "Are you kidding? The day after we won the pennant, you're going to run me?" And so he started to run. The pitch was fouled off.
One ball and one strike the count, next one's outside. Two balls, one strike.
And now again talking to the crowd, and I said, "You know, I just hate to do this, but Walter Alston has always taught me: If it's a good play, come right back with it."
Well, Alston again flashes to Fairly: I want you to go.
Pitch is inside, ball three.
And Fairly now absolutely can't believe it. But, like a good soldier, he follows orders.
He takes off, the pitch is in the dirt, it gets away from the catcher, and Fairly collapses at second base with a stolen base.
The pitch to Padilla a strike. Three and two.
Now I'm looking to get off the stage. I mean, that's enough.
So then I said, "Alston, I got you this far. The rest of the game you're on your own."
And Fairly was at second base.
So my one moment as a manager in the big leagues.
Runners go, three-two pitch swung on and missed, got the story in just in time. And for the Dodgers, they pick up a big four. And at the end of an inning, Dodgers four, Rockies nothing.
A great story, wonderfully told by Scully.
The closest I ever came to "managing" occurred back when I was the announcer for the Syracuse Chiefs and our skipper was Bob Bailor.
I was young and single at the time and used to hang out in his office for hours after the games enjoying a beverage or two while talking baseball.
One night I decided to chime in with some ideas on how he should change his batting order and proceeded to present what I considered to be the ideal starting lineup.
The next day when I got to the ballpark, "my" lineup was posted on the clubhouse wall and I began blabbering to anyone who would listen about how I had brilliantly convinced the manager to change his lineup. I probably even predicted an offensive explosion thanks to my genius.
I went to the radio booth and filled-in my scorebook with all of the names and stats and was just about to begin the pre-game show when I got word that Bob had gone back to his old lineup and my painstaking scorebook prep was useless.
Naturally, the team scored a bunch of runs without my help and went on to have a great season.
And I learned an important lesson: The radio guy should keep his mouth shut . . . until he's on the air of course.

Transfer news: Harry Redknapp says QPR need to make more signings
QPR manager Harry Redknapp intends to add to his squad before the January transfer window closes on Thursday night.
Last Updated: 30/01/13 7:59am
Despite earning a hard-fought 0-0 draw at home to Manchester City on Tuesday night, Redknapp's side still lie three points adrift at the foot of the Premier League table.
Redknapp says the club is attempting to bring strikers such as Peter Odemwingie and Peter Crouch to Loftus Road but believes the squad as a whole needs to be strengthened.
"We need to strengthen the squad - tonight I had two keepers on the bench because there were no other senior outfield players here," Redknapp said.
"There are one or two lads who are here who want to leave as well, so we went through the numbers tonight and we've probably got about 17 (players) for our 25 man squad. We've got to fill it up a bit.
"We are desperately short in quite a few areas really, we do need some reinforcements."
Redknapp is preparing himself for a busy deadline day on Thursday but hopes to get some deals completed before the hectic end to the window.
He added: "It's not what I want. I wish we had a squad which didn't need strengthening and we could all go out for dinner somewhere instead of messing around like idiots on the phone all night.
"We'll have to see, hopefully we can get some stuff done tomorrow (Wednesday)."
Although he is eager to add some more quality to the QPR ranks, Redknapp was delighted with the way his existing players performed against City.
"We are setting up to be difficult to beat at the moment and they defended for their lives again today," he said.
"The keeper (Julio Cesar) when he was called on was fantastic - he's a top, top keeper - and on the break we offered a threat on several occasions. Adel (Taarabt) went through first half and (Loic) Remy second half, so I couldn't be more pleased with the effort."
Redknapp also heaped praise on defender Ryan Nelsen, who appears to have played his last game for the club ahead of his switch into coaching with Toronto FC.
He said: "He is a proper centre half. When he was at Blackburn I tried to sign him many, many times and finally I managed to take him to Tottenham last year. He's just been absolutely outstanding for us."

Wee Willy is NOT HAPPY
I am not a troll. [View all]
Been here eleven years.
I am very disappointed in tonight's debate. Far, far too many opportunities simply wasted.
Counting on the press and the Obama campaign ads to catch all of Romney's lies tonight is a poor strategy. Believing debates really don't make a difference is whistling past the graveyard.
The media has been slavering for an opportunity to run "Romney's back, it's close!" across the sky. Tonight, they got it. Romney looked like he wanted it more, and when lies don't get called out, they tend to stand.
I am not a troll.
This was not a good night.
P.S. "The moderator sucked" is no excuse. Lehrer was a train wreck, but Obama had a dozen opportunities to draw blood - big fat hanging meatballs over the plate - and he failed to swing at pretty much all of them.

Customer questions about this product
- My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
- Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you'll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
- Does free shipping apply if this item is shipped to a residential home?
- This item is only eligible for free shipping to business or commercial addresses. Please contact our Customer Solutions team prior to placing your order if you have any questions!
- Why are my lava rocks smoking so much?
- Grease from the food you cook on your charbroiler drips through the grates and onto the lava rocks in the bottom of your unit. This grease builds up over time and may eventually cause your lava rocks to smoke. You can prevent this by flipping your lava rocks every day before using your charbroiler.
- I see that this gas unit is "field-convertible." What does that mean?
- Gas equipment is factory-set to use either natural gas or liquid propane. Field-convertible equipment allows your unit to accept the other gas type (so for example a natural gas unit could be converted to use liquid propane), but this conversion must happen before it is used. For safety reasons, we recommend having a qualified service professional perform the conversion.

It has been exactly two years since The Sports Guy arrived in Powell. Yours truly is still enjoying life here in the Big Horn Basin. Our little clan loves waking up to the view of mountains in every direction and we're not planning on leaving any time soon.
But if the opportunity ever presents itself, I think I'd have to accept an offer to become a bracketologist.

Sullivan wins high jump, hurdles titles
Kyle Sullivan won both the high jump and the 55-meter hurdles and Powell athletes brought home a total of 12 medals from the Wyoming Indoor Track and Field championships over the weekend.
"Kyle was taken to the wire (in the high jump)," said Panther track coach Scott Smith. "If he hadn't cleared the bar at 6'6", the Kelly Walsh kid that took second would have won on misses. He really came through when it counted and easily cleared."

Panther heartbreak
What happened?
That's the question that could haunt Powell High School head coach Mike Heny and the members of his Panther boys' basketball team this off-season. It was the question Panther fans were asking after a mind-numbing 24-hour period saw the team go from the verge of a regional title game appearance to being left out of the 3A state tournament field altogether.

- Gang Bang Stories : Lorraines Night At The Club
Lorraines night at the club
It was a special club for white couples into black men, a club for wives to play while their husbands watched. Lorraine looked hot tonight. She was in a black zipup top, black vinyl miniskirt, fence-net stockings and 5 inch acrylic platform heels. Her blonde hair was a nice contrast to the black top. And of course no panties or bra. She always had a great body with 38C breasts which she showed off with the zipper on her top down to a sexy depth.
The door man let us into the club and Lorraine proceeded to the bar area while I was directed to the seating area behind the railing. Behind the railing was the area for the white husbands to sit, drink and watch the action on the other side of the railing. Lorraine took a seat on a high bar stool and ordered a cranberry and vodka. Her miniskirt rose up her tights as she crossed her sexy legs, the lacy stocking tops visible to all. It didn?t take long before she had company.
A large muscular black man named Ty sat on the stool beside Lorraine. The music was loud and you couldn?t hear the conversation from the observation area. They smiled and sipped their drinks. Lorraine smiled her bright smile and leaned in close to talk. He leaned in too and placed his hand on her knee, she didn?t seem to mind at all. After a few minutes of chit chat he asked her to dance. He led Lorraine to the dance floor and pulled her close for the slow dance. Lorraine was 5?6? in her heels and he was much taller. Her head leaned on his barrel chest. I was seated in the observation area front row, but in the shadows so I wouldn't be a distraction for Lorraine.
From my dark spot I could see all the other pretty while ladies that have come to the club dressed like sluts. Some sitting at tables, at the bar and some were dancing with other black men. The seemed to be 30 to 40 black men and about 10 white ladies all together.
I could see Ty?s hands sliding down Lorraine?s back until his hands were on her round ass. She looked up into his eyes and they met in a long passionate kiss. Ty whispered something in her ear and she nodded quickly before turning around so he was dancing with her from behind, his arms around her waist. Lorraine?s hips were swaying in a sexy rhythm to the music, grinding into the large bulge in Ty?s pants. Ty kissed her neck as his hands moved up to her full round breasts. Lorraine?s eyes remained closed but I could see her nipples getting hard as a result of his massaging. It was a hot sight and my own rod was getting hard watching the sexy show.
I could see and hear a few of the other husbands pointing out Lorraine to each other and talking about her. Next Lorraine brought her own hand up and un zipped her top all the way, exposing her full round tits for all the husbands to see. She then moved Ty?s hands to her tits and erect nipples, keeping her eyes closed the entire time. The small dance floor was starting to get a little more crowded and Lorraine and Ty were not always visible. As the song changed Lorraine turned around again so she was facing Ty, his black hands still playing with her tits and pinching her erect nipples. A friend of Ty?s walked up to them and whispered something to Lorraine, she again nodded quickly and turned to slow dance with him. Ty remained there dancing with Lorraine from behind. It looked like an Oreo cookie, Lorraine?s creamy white skin sandwiched between 2 large dark men. Lorraine was out to have the time of her life tonight; she took Freddy?s hand from her waist and guided it to between her legs, under her miniskirt. I could just picture his large black fingers moving over her smooth shaved and now juicy pussy. Lorraine started to grind her hips against his hand, her big tits gently bouncing up and down. She alternated long slow kisses between Ty and Freddy. Ty moved a hand under her miniskirt also and she started to ride them even harder. She was really getting into it, having to keep her balance by hanging on around their necks, bouncing harder and faster, faster and harder. I could just tell she was getting close to cumming and so could Ty and Freddy. They were close to my seat. Her miniskirt was riding up around her hips, her bare ass visible to all. Ty had 3 fingers in Lorraine?s swollen wet pussy while Freddy?s fingers were rubbing her clit all around the outside. Now and then I could hear them talking dirty to her. Having a good time slut? Freddy said. Ooohhhh yeaaaa Lorraine replied. Your pussy is nice and wet slut, I think you want to fuck us tonight don?t you slut? Ty said. Oh god yes, Lorraine replied, I?m going to fuck your brains out she moaned. You want lots of black cock tonight bitch? Ohhh yyyesss pleasseese Lorraine cried as she orgasmed on their fingers, oh yes, I need lots of black cock tonight. All the husbands and couples on the dance floor were watching as Lorraine came with loud moans.
Lorraine led them both over to a sofa at the side of the dance floor and had them sit down. She squatted in front of them and unzipped their pants releasing 2 huge black cocks. She went down on Ty?s cock giving him an expert blow job while massaging Freddy?s hard black cock with her right hand. I order a round of drinks for them and sent them over. Lorraine would alternate between the two large cocks, licking, sucking, kissing the heads until they were glistening. They would hold the back of her head and press her mouth down over their hard cocks while sipping their beers. The more they pressed her head down the more she got into it, increasing the bobbing, licking and sucking. Every once in a while she would lower her own hand to between her own legs, her miniskirt up and showing her bare ass to the crowd. She would rub herself quickly, faster and faster and bring herself to orgasm without removing her mouth from their large black cocks. First Ty started to moan and tensed his legs up. He pushed his hips up and her head down over his cock as his cum gushed into Lorraine?s waiting mouth. Man, you know how to suck cock don?t you slut? He said. Lorraine quietly said, I love sucking strange cock as she licked the cum off her lips and his cock clean. She quickly moved to finish off Freddy. Her expert sucking had him squirting his warm cum into her waiting mouth in just a few minutes. Lorraine took a seat between them on the couch, her top still open and her short skirt riding up. I had a clear view of her juicy pink pussy. She was still hot and wanting more. While Ty and Freddy recharged, she spread her legs and put one leg over Ty?s leg and her other leg over Freddy?s. She then began to feel her own erect nipples and finger her juicy pussy. Her wedding ring clearly visible as her fingers darted in and out, glistening with her juices. Her stokes got faster and faster, her breathing deeper and deeper. Ty and Freddy were just enjoying the show while stroking their cocks getting them hard for round 2. I had my own rock hard cock out by now, stroking it.
As I looked around I could see all the other husbands either watching Lorraine?s show or watching their own wives now getting it on with other guys in the club. Lorraine came again for the 5th time in the evening but was still only getting warmed up. Ty?s cock was hard again and she rolled over and mounted him while he was still on the couch. She started slow as his cock was big for her, but she soon was bouncing up and down like a mad woman, her large tits bouncing wildly. Ty held her firm by the hips as he sucked her nipples. She was moaning and grunting louder and louder with each thrust of Ty?s cock. After a few minutes they both groaned and came together, sweat shining off Lorraine?s bare shoulders.
She collapsed into Ty as he asked, you done bitch? No way, she replied. That was great and I?m just getting started. I want my husband over there to see me get gang banged! Freddy said no problem slut, we can take care of that! With that Lorraine rolled onto her back on the couch with one hand on her tits and one between her legs. Who?s next? She said with a smile. Freddy mounted her, her skirt pushed up around her waist, her stocking clad legs spread wide and her ?fuck me? heels pointed at the ceiling. Freddy pounded away in her for a good 10 minutes, all the time calling her a slut, bitch and whore. The more names he called her the hotter Lorraine fucked. Lorraine?s moans got louder and louder, begging to be fucked more and more with each of his hard thrusts. That?s it, fuck me with that big cock, treat me like your slut, oh god, it feels sooo good, I?m cuming again, oohhh keep fucking me, don?t stop, don?t stop . . .
Freddy shot his load in her and got up, his semi hard cock shiny with Lorraine?s love juices. Before Lorraine could lower her legs another guy was on her. Just some guy in the crowd dropped his pants, and got between her legs; He eased his hard black cock into her well-fuck pussy and started pumping her. Lorraine started the climb to her next set of orgasms. Hi bitch, my name is . . . STOP, Lorraine said, I don?t want to know your name, just fuck me like a cheap slut in front of my husband. He looked over at me as he was fucking Lorraine hard, making her tits giggle with each thrust. Thanks for sharing your slut wife with us he said. ?Anytime" I said. After he finished, Lorraine took on 8 more black studs. Some while still on her back with her legs straight in the air. She then rode two guys which also allowed her to suck some other strangers. She then did a triple penetration. She got on top on another strange cock, and leaned forward to let a guy fuck her ass. Her ass was too tight for his big cock until I handed him some lube. He thanked me and lubed up my wife?s tight ass just before shoving his hard black cock into it. Finally some other guy out of the crowd stepped forward and dropped his pants in front of Lorraine?s face. She eagerly took it in her mouth. The guy fucking her ass started to slap her ass a little, which just got her going more. She started fucking and sucking faster and faster with each slap. She had orgasm after orgasm until all 3 guys unloaded in her ass, mouth and well-fucked pussy.
Her masterpiece was when she came over to the railing where I was sitting and leaned on it, her bare ass and pussy just waiting for another stud to come and fuck it from behind. It didn?t take long for her last stud of the night to step forward and give her one last fuck. As she was leaning over the railing getting fucked from behind she said to me, I?ve had a great time honey, I hope you have too! I sure did Babe; it was hot watching you in action.
Her last stud found her pussy too loose by now to enjoy so he pulled out and plunged his big cock into Lorraine?s ass. Lorraine was startled and jumped with the quick insertion but soon got the rhythm and pushed back to meet each thrust. Still leaning on the railing just inches from me it was great watching her total enjoyment. The pace quickened and her moans and grunts grew louder until she had her final orgasm of the night. She collapsed to her knees for a few seconds in total exhaustion. I leaned over and helped her to her feet. She gave me a deep kiss and said when can we come back again honey? I think there are a few guys I missed tonight! Anytime you want Babe, I would love to watch you again.

Burnett stifles Cards in strong Pirates debut
After loading bases in first, righty hurls seven scoreless frames
By George Von Benko / Special to MLB.com | 4/21/2012 11:56 PM ET
STL@PIT: Burnett hurls seven scoreless innings
PITTSBURGH -- Pirates fans got their first look at A.J. Burnett on Saturday night, and it was worth the wait. After a shaky first inning, the 35-year-old right-hander hurled seven scoreless frames in the Bucs' 2-0 victory over the Cardinals.
"It's absolutely what we were looking for out of Burnett," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It's the reason he's here, and we're going to give him every opportunity to paint his own picture while he's here."
Burnett, who sustained a broken right orbital bone in Spring Training, was scheduled to make his final rehab start at Double-A Altoona on Saturday, but he started for the Pirates because right-hander Kevin Correia was experiencing discomfort in his left side.
After walking the first hitter he faced, Burnett gave up a base hit and issued a walk to the third batter. He then recorded two strikeouts and got a lineout to get out of the first-inning jam. Burnett allowed just three hits over his scoreless outing. He recorded seven strikeouts and picked up his first win as a Pirate. After throwing 24 pitches in the first inning, he wound up with a total of 76 pitches.
"It was a little nerve-wracking in the first," Burnett explained. "I was a little anxious to get out there and pitch and it showed the first couple of batters, and then you just keep telling yourself, 'One pitch at a time,' and I was able to get out of it."
"The most impressive thing for me tonight -- he retired 17 hitters on three pitches or less," Hurdle said. "So our young guys watching him pitch tonight, there's a guy who threw 24 pitches in the first inning and finished up with [76] over seven innings."
Burnett was sharp even though he had struggled in his three rehab starts.
"I don't know what was different; I wish I could tell you," Burnett said. "It's different up here. Some guys are able to turn on a switch and I've been around and I've been playing for a long time, and I think coming up here was my time to turn my switch on."
Burnett mowed down St. Louis hitters as the game wore on.
"I didn't even know where he was," Cards left fielder Matt Holliday said. "I guess he was supposed to pitch in Double-A. He pitched well. He looked a little rusty in the first inning and then seemed to settle in pretty well."
"He was in the strike zone," Cardinals third baseman David Freese said. "Pittsburgh got him for the reason he showed tonight. He was spot on."
St. Louis starter Jake Westbrook took the loss, falling to 2-1 on the season. The right-hander gave up two runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.
The Pirates broke through against Westbrook in the fourth inning. Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker had back-to-back singles to put runners on the corners. With one out, Pedro Alvarez hit a liner off the glove of Freese, plating McCutchen and giving Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead.
Alvarez, who had been struggling at the plate, delivered again in the sixth inning. With one out, McCutchen doubled and Walker drew a walk. With two outs, Alvarez singled to right, scoring McCutchen and upping Pittsburgh's lead to 2-0.
"Anytime I can produce in any way possible, it's good," Alvarez said. "That's my intention every time I'm up there."
"The first one, we'll take it, just because Alvarez is up there battling and he puts the bat on the ball, and a swinging bat is a dangerous bat," Hurdle said. "We needed some breathing room, and he was able to come up with a sharp single through the right side. It's absolutely good to see him involved in the offense."
The Cardinals threatened in the eighth inning against Pirates reliever Juan Cruz. Shane Robinson got on board with an infield single, and Tyler Greene singled to left. Rafael Furcal moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt. Left-hander Tony Watson came on in place of Cruz and struck out the left-handed-hitting Matt Carpenter. Right-hander Jason Grilli then entered the game and struck out Holliday, ending the threat.
"It's a situation that I've kind of grown to like in a weird way," Grilli stated. "But it's just nice to always pick up your teammates."
Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan struggled with control, walking two Cardinals in the ninth inning, but he settled down to notch his second save of the season.

Read it and loved it! As you said, it's definitely a "can't put it down" read. I'm conflicted on the movie though. Movies based on books rarely live up to the book and I loved the book so much I fear the movie won't do it justice. Are you planning to see it?
