"Now it's my turn," Jenna said to Hannah. "You did a great job sucking cock, now we have to teach you how to eat pussy. Bro will show you how," Jenna said winking at me. "He's great at eating pussy."
"You'll do great," I assured Hannah. She didn't look completely convinced however.
"Undress me," Jenna said to Hannah. Surprisingly, Hannah didn't resist. She quickly undressed Jenna, and then took her own clothes off. Jenna looked up and down at Hannah's body. "You have such a hot body Hannah! Don't you think Bro?"
"Very hot," I agreed. I slid my hands up Hannah's hips, over her breasts, and then down around her back and over her ass. "You have amazing breasts sis."
"I bet you can't wait to suck on them," Jenna said. "I know I can't. Can we?" Jenna asked.
Hannah bit her lower lip and nodded. Jenna bent over and began to suck on Hannah's left breast while I sucked on her right. Hannah's nipples were hard and erect and I teased it with my tongue. Hannah moaned and held our heads against her breasts. "I love having my tits sucked on," Hannah moaned. "It makes me so wet." Sucking on Hannah's amazing breasts made my cock hard again. Jenna took notice and grabbed it. She stroked it slowly while we continued to suck on Hannah's tits. I slid my hand between Hannah's legs. Her pussy was incredibly wet, and she moaned as my hand slid over her pussy. "Bite my nipples," she moaned. I gently bit her nipple, pulling on it slightly. From the corner of my eye, I could see Jenna was doing the same. Hannah's moans grew louder. "Make me cum," she begged. "I want to cum so bad!"
"You can't cum until you make me cum," Jenna responded. "If you want to cum, you have to make me cum first." Jenna climbed onto Hannah's bed and laid down. Her hand slid down to her pussy and began to rub it. "If you cum before I do, you'll be punished."
Hannah looked very disappointed, but she climbed onto the bed with Jenna. I joined them on the bed and laid down on my stomach, lifting and spreading Jenna's legs. Her scent filled my head and it took all of my will power not to bury my tongue inside her. Hannah was looking at me expectantly.
"Eating pussy is easy," I told Hannah. "You want to make sure that you pay attention to her lips as well as her clit, but it's the clit that's the most important." I pressed my tongue against Jenna's pussy and licked it slowly. She moaned as her body trembled slightly. I teased the lips of her pussy with the tip of my tongue and pulled on them gently with my lips. Hannah was watching me intently. I teased Jenna's clit with the tip of my tongue before sucking on it. Jenna arched her back and squeezed her breasts. "You try," I said to Hannah.
Hannah laid down beside me and licked Jenna's pussy tentatively. Slowly, she became more aggressive, teasing Jenna's pussy and sucking on her clit.
"Mmmmmmm… just like that baby," Jenna purred. "Does my pussy taste good sis?"
"Mmmmmhhhhmmmm," Hannah responded, her mouth sucking on Jenna's wet pussy. I crawled up beside Jenna and began sucking on her tits.
"Yeah, suck on my titties Bro. I fuckin' love when you do that," gasped Jenna. She had begun to rock her hips up and down against Hannah's tongue. "Stick your tongue in my cunt Hannah! I want to feel it inside me," Jenna moaned. She grabbed the back of Hannah's head and held her against her pussy. Jenna's moans grew louder and louder. "I'm gonna cum!" she screamed. "I'm gonna cum all over your fucking tongue!" I sucked Jenna's tits harder as her body shook from her orgasm. Hannah licked Jenna's pussy a few times before crawling on top of her and kissing her. Hannah's face was covered with Jenna's pussy juice, and Jenna licked it off.
"How did I do?" Hannah asked after they had finished kissing.
"Fantastic," said Jenna. "I knew you'd be great at it."
"I told you it was easy," I said to Hannah. "With some practice, you'll get even better at it."
Jenna giggled. "I'll make sure you get lots of practice." Jenna kissed Hannah again. "I bet you want to cum, don't you baby?"
Hannah nodded. "I'm so horny, it's driving me crazy!"
"Mmmmmm… I guess we'll have to fix that then," Jenna said to me. Jenna rolled Hannah onto her back. "What do you want?" she asked Hannah. Hannah was silent for a moment, and blushed slightly. "Well?" said Jenna. "Tell us what you want us to do, otherwise Bro and I will play with each other."
"I want Bro to fuck me… I want his cock inside me," Hannah blurted out.
Jenna and I couldn't help but laugh. "You heard her," said Jenna, "she wants you to fuck her."
"How could I resist?" I teased. Jenna leaned down and put my cock in her mouth. She quickly moved her head up and down, covering it with her saliva.
"Hannah looks wet enough, but I don't want you to have a hard time getting inside her," Jenna smiled.
I slowly slid my hard cock into Hannah's pussy. Jenna was right, it was incredibly wet. I easily slid deep inside her. Hannah moaned deeply as my cock filled her. Jenna held Hannah's legs apart while I slowly thrust my hips in and out of Hannah. She felt slightly tighter than Jenna, but Hannah easily took my entire cock. Jenna laid down across Hannah's stomach and began licking her clit as I fucked Hannah's pussy. Hannah was moaning very loudly and I began to fuck her faster. Every so many strokes, I'd pull my cock out and let Jenna suck Hannah's juices off it, then I'd slide it back in Hannah's pussy and fuck her harder.
"How does it feel Hannah?" I asked.
"Fuckin incredible!" Hannah gasped. "Your cock is so fucking big! I feel like I'm going to break!"
"You're gonna spoil her," Jenna teased. "She'll be disappointed when she fucks guys with smaller dicks."
"I don't want other guys," gasped Hannah. "I just want Bro! His cock feels so fucking good! I can feel his cock throbbing inside me!"
"See!" laughed Jenna. "You've spoiled her already! Now I'll have no choice but to share you with her."
"There's plenty of me to share," I said winking.
I kept changing the pace of my thrusts, trying to delay Hannah's orgasm. Jenna knelt over Hannah's face, and leaned forward kissing me while Hannah licked Jenna's pussy. Jenna's and Hannah's moans quickly filled the room. It was the sexiest thing I'd ever heard.
"I think you should let Hannah cum," Jenna moaned, looking at me.
"Yes, make me fuckin cum!" shouted Hannah. "Make me cum all over your big hard cock!" Jenna and I smiled at each other. I sped up my thrusts, fucking Hannah's pussy faster and faster. Jenna leaned forward and started rubbing Hannah's clit quickly. "I'm cumming!" Hannah screamed as she orgasmed. I slowed my thrusts slightly but kept fucking her as she came. Once Hannah's orgasm passed, Jenna climbed off her face. Hannah's mouth was covered in Jenna's pussy juice. I laid down on Hannah and kissed her, licking Jenna's juice off her face. Jenna joined me, and we had a three-way kiss.
Hannah wrapped her arms and legs around me as I continued to fuck her. "Jenna was right," cooed Hannah, "you are great at fucking."
"The sexier the girl, the better I am," I responded as I kissed Hannah.
"So… what do you think?" Jenna said. I looked over my shoulder and Jenna was standing beside the bed wearing a strap-on dildo. I hadn't noticed her leave the room. Jenna grasped the purple dildo in her hand and stroked it. "It's not as big as yours Bro, but watch this!" Jenna was holding a remote in her hand and pressed a button. The strap-on started to vibrate. "I bet yours can't vibrate like this," Jenna teased.
"No, but mine cums when you stroke it enough," I said.
"That's the best part," Jenna winked.
"Are you gonna fuck me with that?" Hannah asked. "The thought of you fucking me with a strap-on makes me fuckin horny Jenna."
"I am," Jenna smiled. "In fact, I'm going to take your virginity."
"But I'm not a virgin," Hannah said.
"I'm going to take your anal virginity," said Jenna. "Don't worry though, I'll make sure it's all lubed up first."
I rolled onto my back, pulling Hannah on top of me. I could feel her wetness dripping down my cock and onto my hips. I grabbed her ass and pulled it apart as Jenna positioned herself behind Hannah. Before Hannah could object, Jenna pushed the strap-on into her ass. Hannah's moan filled the room. Jenna slowly started moving her hips, sliding the strap-on dildo in and out of Hannah's ass. I alternated my thrusts with Jenna; as I thrust up into Hannah's pussy, Jenna was sliding the dildo out of Hannah's ass, and vice versa.
"This feels so fucking good," Hannah moaned. "I love having both my holes filled!"
"You are such a fuckin' slut baby!" Jenna said. "I bet you wish you had a cock in your mouth too!"
"Fuck yeah!" shouted Hannah. "I love cock! Especially my brother's!"
"You are a slut Hannah," I said. "Just like Jenna."
"I love being a slut! I bet you love fucking your slutty sisters, don't you Bro?" said Hannah.
"I do. I always cum so fucking hard," I moaned.
"If you like my cock in your ass," Jenna said, "you'll love this!" Jenna pressed a button on her remote and the strap-on dildo began to vibrate slightly. I could feel it vibrating in Hannah's ass and it almost made me cum. The vibration made Hannah arch her back and scream in pleasure. "Mmmmmmm… I think she likes it Bro," Jenna teased.
"I fucking love it!" screamed Hannah. "Fuck me harder!" Jenna and I started fucking her faster and harder. Hannah's screams grew louder and her pussy squeezed my cock as I felt her muscles tighten. Jenna and I thrust our hips in unison, moving faster and faster. "I'm cumming!" Hannah screamed. Her body shook as she had her orgasm, but Jenna and I didn't stop fucking her. In fact, Jenna increased the vibration of her dildo. The sound of the motor filled the room as we kept fucking Hannah. "Fuck me like a whore!" Hannah screamed. "Fuck me like a fucking slut!" Hannah's eyes had glazed over, and it was then that I realized that we had broken her will. She belonged to Jenna and I now. The old, innocent, pure Hannah was gone. She had become our slutty half-sister now. The thought only aroused me more.
Jenna and I kept fucking Hannah faster and harder. I sucked on Hannah's tits, biting them slightly. "Harder!" Hannah moaned. "Bite my nipples harder Bro! I love when you do that!"
"I think you're a bigger slut that I am," Jenna teased.
"I'm your slut Jenna! I'm your and Bro's slut!" Hannah exclaimed.
The vibration from Jenna's strap-on, and Hannah's dirty talk was pushing me close to my breaking point. I could feel the cum starting to build in my balls. Jenna must have noticed my moans because she started fucking Hannah faster. "Are you gonna cum slut?" she asked Hannah.
"I'm so close!" Hannah moaned. "Don't fuckin' stop!" I kept thrusting as Jenna turned her dildo vibration up higher. "Fuck!" screamed Hannah as she came for the third time. Her pussy contracted around my cock, squeezing it tightly.
"I'm gonna cum," I moaned.
"Cum in my mouth," Jenna said. She quickly pulled the strap-on out of Hannah as Hannah rolled off me. Jenna put my cock in her mouth and sucked on it hard as her hand squeezed the shaft tightly, jerking me off. The pleasure was too much for me to handle and I moaned and arched my back as I shot my hot load of cum into Jenna's mouth. She moaned slightly as she sucked on the head of my cock, draining all the cum from my balls. Once my cock stopped twitching, Jenna crawled over to Hannah. Hannah opened her mouth and Jenna spit my cum into Hannah's mouth. They both kissed, and a stream of cum and saliva ran down Hannah's chin. Jenna licked it up and swallowed.
"That was amazing," Hannah gasped as she tried to catch her breath.
"Wasn't it?" said Jenna. "I told you you would learn a lot! Bro and I are great teachers."
"And she's a good student," I said. "I never thought you were such a slut Hannah."
Hannah giggled. "I'm only a slut for you two. I'll do anything you want."
Jenna looked at me and winked, her smile was one of victory. "Did you hear that Bro? She'll do anything we want. I can't wait to try her out!"
"Me either," I agreed. "I guess we'll have to see just how much of a slut she really is."
"The best part is that you have two slutty sisters Bro," said Jenna.
I smiled and kissed Jenna. "I've always wanted two slutty sisters."
"There's just one little problem," Jenna said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Well… Hannah's cum three times tonight, you've cum twice, but I've only cum once," Jenna responded. "I haven't been fucked in a week. As far as I'm concerned, you owe me at least six orgasms."
"That's okay. By that count, you owe me at least five," I said.
"I can help you both out with that," Hannah said as she rolled onto her side.
"No, you can only watch for now," Jenna said. "Otherwise you'll be paying off both of our debts. It wouldn't be fair to you." Hannah frowned in disappointment.
"Don't be sad," I said to Hannah. "I'll have Jenna all paid up in a couple hours; maybe sooner. Then you can join us." Hannah smiled and bit her lower lip.
"Are you ready?" Jenna teased. "You aren't too tired, are you?"
"When it comes to my slutty sisters, I'm never too tired," I smirked. Jenna's hand grabbed my cock and started to stroke me.
"I hope not," Jenna teased. "Otherwise I'll have to use my strap-on on you…"

Of course. And sometimes monks are advised by a doctor to eat in the evening, so they do. I knew one personally.
And remember that fluids such as tea or fruit juice and certain "tonics" are allowed (it varies, but the Ajahn Chah monks, for example, often have snacks of dark chocolate). So it's not as if one can't have some sugar.
Anyway, as has been pointed out, the common practise is two meals.

If you had told Wake Forest soccer fans a year ago that another member of the Harkes family was set to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference, they might have shaken their heads and muttered, "Not again." Like many other ACC schools, Wake Forest's men's and women's soccer teams had been torched in the 1980's by the University of Virginia, whose teams were largely propelled by John and Cindi Harkes.
Yet the ascendence of John and Cindi's son, Ian Harkes, has Demon Deacon supporters licking their chops this time around. The Gonzaga High star officially committed to Wake Forest last Wednesday, taking the Harkes-ACC soccer connection in a new direction.
Ian's father, John Harkes, was the national player of the year at Virginia in 1987 before embarking on a stellar professional career that carried him through England, D.C. United and the U.S. men's national team. His mother, Cindi, a W.T. Woodson High School graduate and three-time all-ACC selection at Virginia, is a member of the Virginia-D.C. Soccer Hall of Fame.
John and Cindi helped guide Ian through the recruiting process during this past year, but they never pushed him to go to the school that launched their own professional success. Rather than attempt to mold him into a reflection of their past, the two Fairfax residents always encouraged their son to choose his own path.
"There was never any real push for me to play soccer," said Ian, who chose Wake Forest after considering Virginia, St. John's, Harvard and Duke. "I just kind of took interest in it and they went with that. There was never any indication of 'I have to play soccer and follow in my dad's footsteps' or anything like that."
Even with all the soccer DNA coursing through his veins, Ian dabbled in other sports in his youth before fully devoting himself to the world's game in high school. He played basketball for a while and tried baseball out for one tortuous season. He even gave rugby a shot during his freshman year at Gonzaga, although that came when he was about nine inches shorter than his current 5-foot-11 height.
"That was a lot of fun, but after the first year everyone got really big and I didn't want to get killed out there," he said.
Ian was always more comfortable with a ball at his feet than one in his hands. His natural feel for soccer was honed at the club level when he played for Braddock Road Strikers, Great Falls Strikers and Herndon Real Juniors.
Sound technical ability made Ian a solid soccer player, but he really began to blossom during high school as his body grew to match the prodigious skill it possessed. After being named the first junior captain of Scott Waller's 13 years coaching at Gonzaga, Ian racked up 16 goals and 14 assists on his way to earning D.C. Gatorade Player of the Year honors. He took on a more defensive role during a senior season in which he led the Eagles to an 18-1-1 record that culminated in an overtime win against DeMatha in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title game.
Now Ian is gearing up for a final stint with the D.C. United Academy U18 team, which begins its season in March.
"It's really nice to see him develop from a 13-year-old that wasn't all that athletic all the way to being one of the top recruits in the country and certainly one of the top players in the MLS academy," said Tom Torres, the D.C. United Academy's U16 coach who coached Ian's U14 Herndon Real Juniors team. "He's got a lot of ability and a lot of intelligence. That's one of the things that everybody always talks about is that he's got an intelligent soccer brain. You couple that with his abilities and his tactical awareness, and it makes for a very fine soccer player."
After having played at the Academy for two seasons, Ian ran into a conflict last fall when a new rule prevented Academy players from simultaneously playing high school soccer. He ended up getting a waiver to finish out his prep career at Gonzaga, and now he's gearing up to return to the intense environment of MLS academy club soccer. The D.C. United Academy is designed to develop the top players in the Washington region to prepare them for the club's First Team or the country's top college teams. According to Torres, about 90 percent of Academy high school graduates go on to play for Division I schools.
Some of Ian's Academy teammates played against him at the high school level. Rafael Fagundo, who is also bound for Wake Forest next year, played for Paul VI Catholic, as did Kennedy O'Shea.
"I think they both have helped me shape my game a lot," said Ian, who has one sister, Lauren, playing varsity soccer as a sophomore at O'Connell and another, Lily, playing travel soccer in seventh grade. "I think high school [soccer] is great. I think we're kind of fortunate that our level of play was still really good. Gonzaga has a great program, and we play good competition in the WCAC. But the Academy is definitely another level of intensity. They kick it up a notch, so it's a little more intense. It's just a different commitment level."
With Gonzaga fading in the rear view, Ian must now use his time at the Academy to prepare for the next phase of his career.
"I'm just trying to advance my game as much as possible before I go down to Wake," he said. "I need to make sure I have a good mentality going down there. It's going to be a lot of work, and I know that I have so much room for improvement. I'm just grateful that I'm going to be in a good program at Wake. I'm just going to use this academy season to just try to be the best I can be right now."

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by David Brown Don't just take pictures, create pictures Looking for better picture quality and more extensive manual controls than you get with the typical point-and-shoot? Fujifilm's compact X20 marries a cool retro design with advanced digital camera features that photo enthusiasts will appreciate. Building on the success of last year's popular X10 camera, the X20 uses an upgraded sensor, processor, and viewfinder, to capture beautiful, print-worthy photos. Improved sensor and processor for even better photos Fujifilm's improved 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor is designed for lightning-fast auto focus as well sparkling image resolution. Hybrid AF automatically switches between standard contrast auto focus and faster phase detection AF, for speedy focus times even while shooting fast action. And given this sensor's sophisticated design, there's no need for an optical low-pass filter — that means the sensor captures unfiltered light directly from the lens, for ultra-high resolution beyond what you'd expect from its 16.3-megapixel specification. Like the sensor, the improved EXR Processor II features a newly developed noise-reduction process, which separates and minimizes noise, allowing spectacular low-light performance. Plus, the enhanced processor means faster response times — from quicker start-up speeds to continous shooting up to 12 frames per second at full resolution. Classic performance with modern features The X20's 4X optical zoom lens is bright and fast across the zoom range, for capturing detailed low-light shots or freezing fast-action. And the manual zoom and metal exposure dials give you the creative freedom and tactile feel associated with classic cameras. Yet the X20 comes with plenty of modern-day features like artistic filters, including film simulation mode, which uses advanced processing to re-create the classic look of Fujifilm's color films. A bright view, with numbers too When you put your eye up to the X20's optical viewfinder, you'll discover more than just a bright view to set up your shot. Fujifilm incorporated its newly developed Digital Trans Panel into the viewfinder. It's an ultra-thin LCD overlay that diplays real-time shooting data, great for making adjustments to settings while lining up shots. The viewfinder is also synced with the zoom lens for an accurate representation of the camera's view, even as you zoom in and out.

This is an incredibly nice little camera! Fujifilm has really rocked the photography world with it's "X Series" camera lineup, and the X20 is a truly "full featured" compact, capable of remarkably beautiful photographs and outperforming some of the larger more expensive cameras I own. The build and "retro look" are superb, and overall this little gem bespeaks "top shelf" quality. It has a very solid and substantial feel to it, and I've been nothing short of delighted with the extrordinary detail in the sharpness and color rendition in the many photos I've taken so far ...again outperforming several larger and more expensive cameras I've owned. I'd buy it again, only sooner! Pros: Quality of build, lens, and features in a small easy to use camera. Cons: None that I've found so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Eye holder Written By junchao, Pittsburgh on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this one few weeks ago. It is such a good product. I like the outlooking design. Lots of my friends recognize my new camera at first glance. The image is really high quality and it 's not hard to use. I am not an expertise in photo shoting but I am really comfortable with this camera. Nice work fujifilm. I recommend users to buy this one. Pros: good image and good shape Cons: too much eye-catching 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fuji x20 amazing Written By Bob Y, Las cruces, NM on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First time owner of a Fuji camera. I'm a photojournalist and have looked for a small and high quality camera for the past year. I own a lumix L5 and am not pleased with the quality. This Fuji x20 is fast and loaded with usable features. Beautiful color and sharpness. Only problem is forgetting to bring a spare battery all of the time with me. This camera makes no sound and is perfect for street shooting. I have a lens hood that also fits a 52mm filter. Small particles of dust can still get in. Also good to get a screen protector floor the back. Pros: Fast, great color, super sharp, excellent skin tones. Cons: Hard to keep dust off of lens, may be too small for some. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Evolutionary step up from the x10 Written By DrZ, Broadway, VA on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The x20 continues the high-end retro style of the Fuji x10. Like the x10, it has an optical viewfinder as well as a LCD screen but in the x20, the aperture and shutter settings are displayed the the eye level finder. My impressions so far are that the JPEGs from the x10 were better but that the RAW files from the x20 are superior in sharpness. The x20 seems to have improved highlight capability compared to the x10 but less ability to pull detail from the shadows. I was a professional photographer for years and for me, this feels like a "real" camera, unlike most small digital cameras. Pros: Good feel, retro looks, useable eye level finder, impressive resolution for a small camera, versatile, fast autofocus. Cons: JPEGs show some smearing compared to earlier x10 model; probably has less dynamic range than the x10 when the x10 was set to maximum dynamic range. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The 10 second self timer is recommended for self portraits, while the 2-second self timer is used to reduce blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed. Focus Mode: The camera has a 3-position focus mode selector next to the lens on the front of the camera. The following options are available: Single AF (AF-S): Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Good for stationary subjects. Continuous AF (AF-C): The camera continually adjusts focus to reflect changes in the distance between the camera and the subject. Good for moving subjects. Manual Focus (MF): Focus manually using the sub-command dial on the back of the camera. The LCD monitor indicates the focus distance range (in meters or feet) and the depth of field. Focus Range: The camera's focus range is approximately 1.6' to infinity in Wide Angle, and 2.6' to infinity in Telephoto. In the Macro mode, the focus range is approximately 0.3' to 9.8' in Wide Angle, and 1.6' to 9.8' in Telephoto. In the Super Macro mode, the focus range is 0.3" to 3.2' (wide angle).

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Another great camera from Fuji Written by Zak Billmeier, Staff Writer - Creative, on 6/4/2013 9:17:00 AM Ever since Fuji started making their X-line of serious compact and system cameras, I've been impressed with two things: image quality and shootability. The X20, a small-sensor (though at 2/3" diagonal, it's larger than most compacts) successor to the X10, did not disappoint. After all, if a camera is easy to shoot and pumps out great-looking images, what's not to like? My favorite feature on this retro-looking camera is its lens. It covers a useful range (28-112mm equivalent) and stays fast — it starts at f/2 and only rises to f/2.8 at the wide end. This lets you blur backgrounds if you're close to your subject, something small-sensor cameras normally struggle to do. Under the right conditions, your photos can look like they were made with a much larger camera. Mostly, though, it's just fun to shoot with. You gain precise control over framing thanks to a zoom lens that you twist with your hand rather than fumble with a rocker switch. Flash exposures are amazingly lifelike (another X-series trademark), and I had fun documenting the East Coast cicada invasion using the "super macro" mode. While the X20 is not perfect — it has a vestigial lens cap that I would probably lose immediately and no tilting screen — it's pretty darn nice. What are the Labs? Sorry, the Fujifilm X20 is no longer available. Looking for a similar item? Shop all Point-and-shoot Cameras Or, you can still...

Americans are well aware of their monthly bills. But what they probably didn't know — until now — is that every month they are also, via taxes, contributing to a slush fund for Afghan president Hamid Karzai. That, in a nutshell, is the story the New York Times broke on April 28.
"For more than a decade," reported the Times, "wads of American dollars packed into suitcases, backpacks and, on occasion, plastic shopping bags have been dropped off every month or so at the offices of Afghanistan's president — courtesy of the Central Intelligence Agency."
"We called it 'ghost money,'" Khalil Roman, Karzai's deputy chief of staff from 2002 to 2005, told the paper. "It came in secret, and it left in secret."
According to current and former Afghan and American officials, most speaking on condition of anonymity, U.S. taxpayers have thus far forked over "tens of millions of dollars" to Karzai's office, where his National Security Council disburses the cash with no American oversight whatsoever, said the Times.
The council's administrative chief, Mohammed Zia Salehi, was arrested in 2010 for his role in smuggling cash to the Taliban and trading in opium. Karzai quickly secured his release, and the CIA persuaded the Obama administration to stop hounding Karzai about corruption. Afterward, Salehi began telling colleagues that he was "an enemy of the FBI, and a hero to the CIA."
That, the Times observed, "succinctly summed up America's conflicting priorities" in Afghanistan. On the one hand, Washington claims to want an effective, honest government in Kabul. On the other hand, the CIA, through its cash payments, is fueling corruption — "The biggest source of corruption in Afghanistan was the United States," one American official told the Times — and getting no return on its investment.

A lot of this was somewhat confusing and has undergone a couple revs of rebranding, so when you see "Pathfinder Chronicles Mini" it probably is just a legacy term from before there was a "Pathfinder Minis" line and they were lumped into Chronicles.

In the Bay Area, we can visit snow when we want, and leave it on the slopes when we've had our fun — much to the envy of our powder-shoveling, East Coast brethren. Even so, there's no denying sweater weather is upon us here at home, which means there will be plenty of overzealous heaters running on full blast, very soon. And of course, when the hot air is cranked up, skin dries out. For some, the cold just means tightness, while for others, chapping, splotchiness, and premature wrinkles have their heyday. Trust us, it's not the cutest look.
To take control of your skin's health this winter, we spoke to local expert Dr. Eleni Linos, an assistant professor of dermatology at UCSF, who offered 16 important skin-care rules that are must-follows. From using a mild soap to moisturizing on-the-go, we've taken Dr. Linos' advice to heart and slathered on dozens of creams and treatments to help you zero in on your own winter-product lineup.

Residents say pigeon problem cleanup should put the Fifth & Farm HOA into the Hall of Shame
North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) - Pigeons and the poop they leave behind have cost one Valley community tens of thousands of dollars. But homeowners who say they were each told to pay hundreds out of pocket to clean up the problem say it's a case for Contact 13's Hall of Shame.
"We couldn't see a pigeon problem," said Scott Benesi.
But according to RMI, who manages Fifth and Farm, there was one. All 343 homes got a letter saying RMI had hired Nevada Pigeon Control to help alleviate the overpopulation of pigeons in the area.
So how far did the HOA go to peer into the neighborhood pigeon problem? They actually used a boom truck to peer over rooftops, even into backyards.
Each house found to have a poop problem was assigned a dollar amount based on the size and severity. It was either $210 to $330 per homeowner for Nevada Pigeon Control to clear loose droppings, pressure wash the home from top to bottom and decontaminate it.
"I called RMI and said basically what is it? What if I don't do it and they go well you're in violation." said Scott.
After he didn't pay, he got a violation notice for unsightly items.
"Unsightly from the ground or unsightly if you're up in a boom truck," asked Chief Investigator Darcy Spears.
"Both in some cases you're more than able to see it from the street," explained Jared Warburton, Vice President of Business Development for RMI.
Because of the violation notice and threats of fines, Scott says he felt pressure to pay up.
"I just paid and a lot of people just paid just to get them off our back," said Scott.
RMI told us it's pretty clear why pigeons are playing house there.
"We're right next to a pig farm here which tends to attract pigeons and that makes the problem worse," said Jared.
Nevada Pigeon Control posted a You Tube video last fall calling it the worst pigeon problem they've ever seen in the Valley and a problem they said would cost between $60,000 to $90,000 to fix.
"That's when I started to get red flags," said Scott.
Nevada Pigeon Control says they've euthanized more than 1,500 pigeons since taking the project on, partially by putting food out to attract them. But Scott who is usually home during the day, never noticed flocks like the ones featured in the You Tube video.
"If you have to get that high to see the violation is it really that big of a problem," asked Darcy.
"Well the problem with pigeon feces is that they attract other pigeons and so you can't eradicate a pigeon problem until you've cleared up the mess," said Jared.
RMI says some residents are still not in compliance like one home that had white streaks under the roof overhang. Another one had a drip of poop above the garage. Other homes, like Scott's don't have a drop of poop on them. So what did the roofs look like when Nevada Pigeon Control became an eye in the sky?
"You guys would be able to show us like a photo library," asked Darcy.
"I don't know that we have the entire library, but we definitely could provide evidence," said Jared.
Turns out, they couldn't. They couldn't give us a single shot. After our interview, RMI admitted they had no photos of Scott's house and couldn't show us others for privacy reasons.
"What did you do to notify homeowners to close their blinds or their drapes or not be in the backyards because there was someone on a boom truck peeping-tomming their house," asked Darcy.
"We did send out notice to homeowners by way of a newsletter letting them know that Nevada Pigeon Control would be coming by," said Jared.
They gave us the newsletter, but it says nothing about that boom. Still, they maintain they went about this the right way, even giving homeowners an out to avoid the cost and do the cleanup themselves.
"You mean like if they wanted to get up on their own roof with a scrub brush kinda thing," asked Darcy.
"Yeah or a hose or power washer," said Jared.
That's an option Scott says he wasn't given.
"So you believe without question that this belongs in our HOA hall of shame," asked Darcy.
"Oh, yes, absolutely," said Scott.
Nevada Pigeon Control says they're out in the community every week, looking for more signs of poop and people feeding the birds. RMI says the pigeons seem to have skipped some homes so not everyone has a poop problem. Of the homeowners who have been told to pay, only half chose to participate in the cleanup. They haven't been fined yet, but RMI says it could indeed come to that.

With less than two months until enrollment opens under sweeping federal health insurance changes, Montgomery County is preparing its education, outreach, eligibility and enrollment services for nearly 222,000 uninsured residents of Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Montgomery was one of two public health departments among a total of six partners selected by the state to serve as a "connector entity" in implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare." Each connector entity will provide enrollment assistance to the uninsured and to small employers in its region. Six regions were identified across the state.
Maryland's regional approach ensures that the state's uninsured and underserved communities are provided with in-person assistance as the new health insurance coverage options become available in October, according to a news release from the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange.
Maryland will offer insurance through the Maryland Health Connection, the state-based health insurance marketplace, and Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services will provide enrollment services and assistance to residents, county spokeswoman Mary Anderson said.
"We will be working here in Montgomery and Prince George's counties to identify and then to enroll all the eligible people in our region into these health plans," Anderson said.
Anderson said the county will be hiring about 40 full- and part-time employees to serve as "navigators" and assistants who will aid and enroll residents in a plan.
Residents will have options for enrolling in a health plan, including online, over the phone and in person through the services provided by the county, she said.
To provide the navigators and education, the county was granted $7.8 million from the state and federal government for a one-year period, Anderson said.

Recipe by Rosie
"Easy slow cooker chicken cacciatore. Serve over angel hair pasta. 'Cacciatore' is Italian for 'hunter', and this American-Italian term refers to food prepared 'hunter style,' with mushrooms and onions. Avanti!"

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (28 ounce) jar
spaghetti sauce
green bell pepper, seeded and cubed
8 ounces
fresh mushrooms, sliced
onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons
minced garlic
My version, for more flavor:
4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts (frozen), 1/2 ( or 3/4) jar of spaghetti sauce (eye ball it) (I use Classico Cabernet Marinara with Herbs) 1 can tomato paste, 1/2 green bell pepper chopped, 1/2 diced yellow onion, fresh sliced mushrooms, 3 tablespoons fresh garlic, light-medium sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, heavy sprinkling of oregano, light-medium spinkle of black pepper (can always add more later), and fresh basil leaves torn up. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
This was OK. Benefitted from the addition of some herbs such as basil or oregano. Sauce was kind of thin...next time I would substitute something thicker like seasoned crushed or diced tomtatoes. Put the chicken breasts in frozen and it came out fine!

I altered this recipe a bit to suit our family's tastes but the recipe still served as a wonderful basis for a great dish. I used only 3 boneless skinless breasts (whole) as we don't really care for leftover chicken, and threw them right in there frozen as I've heard other reviewers say they've done this and I wanted to try for those days when I forget to thaw. It was cooked to perfection, fork tender and juicy in approx 7 hours. How wonderful! I used whole fresh mushrooms since they're easier to pick out (hate em!) and sliced the onion into rings for those who don't like them. I am big on garlic so I added about 4 big cloves, chopped, and also added some Italian seasoning and basil. 1/4 cup of wine, a can of diced tomatoes (flavored) and a can of tomato paste and voila! excellent, excellent chicken. My hubby requested I make extra sauce for dipping and such. Will make again and again!
Using FROZEN boneless skinless chicken breasts in slow cooking will keep the chicken from turning to mush. Some newer slow cooker cookbooks warn against this, but I've cooked many chicken recipes this way and never had a problem. I've never needed to lengthen the cooking time. Be sure to double-check the chicken for doneness before serving. Great recipe!
As written, I could see why some reviews were less than favorable. To me, boneless chicken breasts just don't seem to constitute "cacciatore". The flavor just isn't there, but then again, that's only my opinion. I used bone-in pieces of chicken, which I browned in a skillet first and added the flavorful browned bits to the crock pot. The whole family was very happy with this tasty recipe. Thank you.
This is a great basic recipe, but I found it a bit bland & watery. I tried again & scaled it for 4 servings, used a small jar of spaghetti sauce & a can of tomato paste, which made a nice thick sauce. I also added spices (oregano, basil, seasoning salt, pepper) and used dehydrated onion. It came out great the 2nd time!
This is a great recipe. Use a good brand of pasta sauce, add lots of garlic and peppers and you'll have a restaurant quality meal. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you use boneless, skinless breasts (as I did), only cook for about 4 to 5 (max) hours on LOW or else your chicken's texture will be like canned.
Yummy - about 4.5 stars actually. I cut the recipe in half and cooked on high for 4 hours. You don't need very much sauce. I would recommend using half the sauce it calls for in the beginning. Then towards the end you can add more if needed, that way it's not too runny. Also, I added the mushrooms about 15 minutes before it was done, then they aren't mushy, just perfect. Another suggestion is to always just saute the mushrooms, onions and garlic (even bell peppers if desired) in olive oil and then top the chicken and sauce with it. Yummy dish, will make again.

En español | One of the nicest things about grandchildren is their youthful exuberance. We all get an energy boost when we are around kids, and grandparents often say their grandchildren are their main motivation to stay active and fit.
See also: Make fitness a family tradition.
Staying active and fit is beneficial to kids, too. With childhood obesity rates at an all-time high, it's more essential than ever to keep children from being too sedentary.
Here are five activities that you and your grandchildren can do that will be beneficial to both of you:
No matter how old your grandkids are, you can hit the trails where you'll both get exercise while learning about the great outdoors. Keep it interesting for the kids by incorporating scavenger hunts (who can find a sassafras leaf, wildflower or, better yet, a certain animal's footprints. Whether you take an urban hike around the neighborhood, find a nature trail at a local park or set out on a hiking vacation, choose a path that is a bit of a challenge but not so strenuous for you or your grandchildren to diminish the fun. The American Hiking Society has family hiking resources. And don't forget to explore our amazing national and state parks.
Tai Chi
On a trip to China many years ago, I was so taken with the groups of older adults and young children practicing tai chi together in the parks. Chinese elders traditionally care for grandchildren and teach them the popular ancient activity, which was originally a defensive martial art and is now mostly used to develop physical and mental harmony. Tai chi involves a series of slow graceful moves that supposedly move energy around your body. It is a powerful multigenerational activity because it is gentle and noncompetitive. It also can be adapted to varying physical abilities. Practice tai chi indoors or outdoors, in a class or at home with a DVD or guide book.
Are you a golf nut? Why not get the grandkids out on the links? According to the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, golf can be a lifelong sport that encourages family interaction and builds lifelong memories. Many vacation resorts offer golf lessons and activities for children. Golf courses are now developing "family courses" with two levels of additional tees that make it fun and easier for kids to participate. While a little family competition can be fun, keep in mind that you're a role model for your grandchildren. No throwing of golf clubs, please! Not ready for a golf course? Try miniature golf. Always a fun family activity, it maintains and develops eye-and-hand coordination and gets you all walking (and laughing), too.

PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI), already under government scrutiny for alleged violations of its cost recovery claims, has forecast that production from its concessions will decline due to aging fields and seasonal floods.

US gas production during the second quarter showed a 3.8% decline compared with second quarter of last year, according to Raymond James & Associates Inc. based on a survey of 47 publicly traded US oil and natural gas exploration and production companies.

"Important Points for Aspiring Business People"
This book would be good to listen to in one siting because the points make sense in context together. It's less than an hour which is comfortable. I enjoyed stopping it from time to time and pondering the message. It can be listened to in sections with stopping points as the topic headings. Although if it can be listened to in one sitting that would be better.
"inspiration "
always its wonderful thing to listen about steve .. stay hungry stay foolish ..steve always rocks
A quick view into the motivational and leadership genius that was Steve Jobs. We are probably living beneath our abilities. He didn't.
"Not a book"
Cut? It was over before my coffee was warm enough to drink.
Should have stressed that this was a short article and the word "Unabridged" should not appear in the description. It really is a very short read and while the info is OK. It is not worth the time and money.

Maryland State Police have identified the driver in a fatal accident that tied up the Tuesday morning commute.
Maria Cristina Durandal of Frederick died in single-vehicle crash about 5:15 a.m. on southbound Interstate 270, according to a press release from Maryland State Police.

After the great home run race of 1998, per game attendance went down three of the next five years.
• Offense stinks
Hitters never have struck out more often than they do in today's game. The rate of hits per game has dropped six straight years. The average major league hitter has batted .255 each of the past two years. It's only the second time since the DH was adopted in 1973 that hitting has been that bad two consecutive years; the other occasion occurred back in 1988-89. The rate of runs per game hasn't cracked 8.64 three straight years for the first time in two decades.
-There is no objective way to distinguish the run-scoring conditions of 2001-2003 from 2004-2006. The change happened in 2010. It wasn't testing.
Home runs are great, but having an outcome in doubt is better. The stands empty out in a blowout and stay full for a close game even if the ball never left the yard.
Fun fact: If I get home from work and flip on a baseball game and it's 1-0 in the fourth, I will usually leave it on. If it's 6-4 in the third, I will turn it off every time. The second game inevitabley devolves into a four hour, ten pitching change, clusterf*uck. The pace of that type a game is essentially unwatchable. So I vote 'yes' on the direction that offense in the game has taken lately.
If you really want to keep game outcomes in doubt you should limit bullpens, not homeruns. Limit teams to 11 pitchers, or force relievers to pitch at least 1 inning, something like that. It's the parade of hard-throwers that losing teams face starting in the 7th inning that prevents comebacks. HRs are the cure, not the cause, if you are worried about lack of doubt regarding game outcomes.
Even the 1-0 game goes slower than it needs to
Complaining about the Josh Becketts of the world taking too long between pitches is one thing- time between pitches is time spent without baseball being played.
That is what he's complaining about.
Even the 1-0 game goes slower than it needs to, though, since we have so many more strikeouts and walks now rather than quick at-bats.
Complaining about the Josh Becketts
since we have so many more strikeouts and walks now rather than quick at-bats.
strikeout jump is a major cause of the reduced offense
One of the great myths about The Steroid Era is that steroids "saved baseball"
Just require all pitchers to throw the ball right over the plate, and require the hitters to swing at every pitch.
Problem solved.

Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne College Announces Expanded Second Year of Summer Arts InstituteContact: Lynn Kasper (315) 445-4230 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … Le Moyne College's Department of Visual and Performing Arts and Department of Communication and Film Studies are thrilled to announce the second year of the Le Moyne College Summer Arts Institute. Last year, the new conservatory program expanded on the Gifford Family Theatre's successful Summer Youth Theatre to offer additional opportunities for youth to delve into the areas of film and music, all on Le Moyne's beautiful campus. This year, the Institute is expanding once again to include two new one-week camps: a musical theatre intensive and a visual arts workshop. The 2013 Institute kicks off with a two-week film program (expanded by popular demand from one week last year) from July 1-12. This will be followed by a two-week theatre intensive from July 8-19. From July 22-26, the college will host the two new one-week programs in musical theatre and in visual arts. The summer programs will finish with an amazing opportunity for string players (violin, viola, cello and upright bass) to hone their skills from July 29-August 2. Youth may choose to attend one or multiple camps. An optional extended day is available until 5:30 p.m. for each program. The Institute is pleased to be partnering once again with the strings program at H.W. Smith School, part of the Syracuse City School District, to offer scholarship opportunities for promising students from that school. Information and application materials are available by calling (315) 445-4230 or visiting www.lemoyne.edu/summerinstitute. #####posted on: 4/10/2013
