Chicago Fire midfielder John Thorrington did not take part in full training last week. However, the injured 30-year-old did put himself and a teammate through the paces under a blistering hot sun, organizing drills, offering instruction, and performing the simplest of ball work with animal-like intensity.
But that's Thorrington. Unafraid to get in your face and seemingly terrified to take a play off, the feisty central midfielder has been unnerving MLS opponents with his hard-nosed efforts for years.
But Thorrington was not always the uncompromising veteran. In fact, the diminutive midfielder was once a darling of American soccer. Signed to a professional contract by Manchester United in 1997 at the age of 17, big things were expected of the Southern California native.
"I got offered [a contract] based on a tryout that I'd had one summer," Thorrington said. "I didn't realize it would lead down the path it eventually did. It had always been my dream, but I didn't know how realistic it was. But then once I got the offer, saw the place, and got the blessing of my parents, I went for it."
He never made a competitive first team appearance at Manchester United and bounced around Europe after leaving Old Trafford in 1999. He found a decent amount of success in England's third division in the early 2000s before returning home to the United States in 2005. He's been with the Fire ever since. This week, things come full circle for Thorrington, as his old club, Manchester United, arrives in Chicago on Monday.
Thorrington started his Man Utd career with the youth team. The entire first year he was in Manchester, he was playing with kids his own age. At the conclusion of year one, Thorrington made the move up to the reserves.
But it was when he was with the youth team that Thorrington was first exposed to Manchester United's philosophy on developing players. As one might expect, the club did more than emphasize merely winning games (of course, overemphasizing the importance of winning is a main criticism of the American youth system). Technical performance was a large part of the coaching staff's emphasis and, as Thorrington explained, if a team or player's play wasn't up to par, the staff let them know about it.
"I think that at Manchester United, it's a combination [of emphasizing results and technical skill]," Thorrington said. "I've certainly heard the criticism, and as somebody that's interested in the future of American soccer, I know exactly what you're referring to.
"I do think winning's important. I don't think it's the only important thing. I think certainly if you can win a game, that that shouldn't sweep development under the carpet. I know at Man United, winning is very important. But if you win and you didn't play well, that didn't mean your coach was satisfied."
Thorrington, who played with current United first teamers Wes Brown and John O'Shea while with the club, said that the secret to the Red Devils' success goes far beyond developing the best players. He mentioned a consistent philosophy amongst all the levels of the club – from the first team to the academy – as a key to the team's sustained ability to win games at the highest level.
"The style of play gets trickled down from the top," Thorrington said. "You are taught to play exactly as the first team is, and obviously the pace of the game and everything is faster the higher up you go, but… [they teach you the philosophy] just so that when you do hopefully make that step up, you're prepared for it."
Sir Alex Ferguson was then – and still is – the man leading the charge for United. His record-setting reign as manager extends back to 1986 and includes 11 league championships, five FA Cup triumphs, and two Champions League titles.
Though Thorrington did not have what anyone would call a close relationship with Ferguson while in Manchester (the midfielder said the extent of their relationship was saying, "Hi" to each other in the hallway), he still holds the Scottish manager in very high regard.
"From the time I was there, I had an unbelievable amount of respect, for not just his success, but how he did it and how he sort of adapted over time," Thorrington said. "It's so hard to be as successful as he has in almost three or four different eras with totally different teams. Just in my two years there, I can see exactly how that has happened. As I look to my future and see however I'm involved in soccer, I think that experience of seeing him up close would be invaluable for me."
Though Thorrington's career did not pan out exactly how he imagined it, he would not change a thing about his decision to go to Manchester United.
"I certainly would make the exact same decision," Thorrington said. "Looking back it sounds crazy, but that was 12-13 years ago, and I can still draw on those experiences now. It was invaluable."

I just don't see it happening. It's not a position of need. It's not that much of an upgrade either. We probably have the most durable wing combo in the league as is.
I don't see it happening either but that's not to say maybe it shouldn't. All I can say for sure is that rolling out the same team next year will likely result in the number of wins. Internal growth can only account for so much right?
In regards to the 3 point shooting. I can easily see Rudy go back to his .355 career average or even better next year. Kyle Lowry will be in his contract year so he'll stick to his .400 clip.
I don't remember him staying healthy for a full season, so I'll pass. But a healthy Eric Gordon ... he's pretty good. Unfortunately, he has glass ankles and knees. I compared him to Steph Curry last season; very talented WHEN healthy. Curry managed to get past his series of injuries but Gordon could not.
I dont create controversies. Theyre there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.

Pirates welcome former division rival to town
By Tom Singer and Steven Petrella / MLB.com
PITTSBURGH -- The American League West is supposed to be about as tough as divisions come.
The Rangers reached the World Series in 2010 and 2011, the Angels piled superstars the previous two offseasons, and the Athletics always seem to find ways to win without any big names.
This winter, the division welcomed the Houston Astros -- the lowly Astros, who won only 55 games last season in the NL Central.
And as if joining one of baseball's toughest divisions wasn't difficult enough, the Astros had to switch leagues and the makeup of their roster, something Pirates manager Clint Hurdle is anything but envious of.
"It's very tough to transition that quickly," Hurdle said. "I know they've taken some steps accordingly, but you build your club to be a National League team for years."
Despite the AL West not living up to its expectations this season -- the Rangers are the only team above .500 -- the Astros haven't fared any better for it.
Entering Friday, Houston is tied with the Marlins for the worst record in baseball at 11-30, 16 games out of first place with just 25 percent of the season played. It only got worse for them Friday, as they blew a 4-1 lead and lost on an error with two outs in the ninth.
Hurdle, like any manager would, said that his Pirates will take the same approach against the Astros as they would against anyone else. But he admitted the familiarity with Houston makes things a little easier.
"You might have a little more in-depth [knowledge] because you had a little more hands on with them," he said.
In addition to the familiarity of playing the Astros, the Pirates will also welcome back a few former Bucs, including pitcher Erik Bedard, who will start Saturday, and outfielder Robbie Grossman, who was in the Pittsburgh system from 2008-12.
Astros manager Bo Porter said there are obvious differences in the two leagues, but he's excited to get back to play some National League-style baseball. Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez said the familiarity with Pittsburgh and some other Central teams should alleviate the usual differences in Interleague Play.
"A lot of those teams we played last year and are a little more familiar with, but we're starting to get a little more familiar with the American League teams," Dominguez said.
Pirates' pitchers racking up strikeouts
PITTSBURGH -- Pirates general manager Neal Huntington, as is often pointed out, majors in pitching. That is his area of expertise, the part of the game he knows inside-out and where he feels most comfortable following his own instincts.
For instance, Huntington's leading mantra concerns the upside of pitchers with "swing-and-miss" stuff. How has the GM fared following that guideline? And how are the Bucs faring as a result?
Pretty well, to say the least.
Three years after they ranked last in the National League in strikeouts, the Pirates (330 entering Friday) are on the verge of overtaking the Reds (334) for the league lead. In the first quarter of this season, the staff has already had nearly as many games with strikeouts in double-figures (15) as it had in all of 2010 (16). In Friday's 5-4 win over Houston, four Pirates pitchers tallied seven strikeouts, including six by the bullpen.
The progression in that department has been as steady -- to 20 in 2011 and 31 last season. This is a valuable tool because, as manager Clint Hurdle likes to point out, it means the Bucs' batterymen get to do nothing more than play catch every game.
A major component of the strikeouts haul has been a bullpen that has done amazing work, leading the Majors in relievers strikeouts (141) while holding opponents to a .212 average.
The only thing more amazing than those results is the overhauled bullpen responsible for them. The only reliever back in the same capacity from a 2012 crew, that in its own right was largely responsible for the Bucs remaining in contention, is left-hander Tony Watson.
Jason Grilli is also a holdover, but of course has gone from setup man to closer, a dramatic shift. All the others -- Bryan Morris, Vin Mazzaro, Mark Melancon, Justin Wilson and Jose Contreras -- are new faces.
In assembling that cast, "we looked for skills that could dominate late," Hurdle said, "and guys who can put it on the ground to get quick outs for length. We mixed and matched very well. The numbers right now scream."
Gomez making most of his opportunity to start
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates rotation has more capable arms than in years past, but with a couple of them on the mend, Jeanmar Gomez has had an opportunity to get out of his mop-up bullpen role.
Pittsburgh acquired Gomez from Toronto in January after he spent the first three years of his big league career with the Indians. The Pirates made him a long reliever to begin 2013, and he surrendered only four runs in 13 2/3 innings during five appearances.
But Gomez has gotten the opportunity to start three games in the last few months, and cashed in on that chance.
"We're confident when he takes the mound, and he is as well," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Every time he's taken the ball, he's pitched a competitive game for us, whether it's been in long relief or the starts."
In his three starts, the first two of which he had little notice of, Gomez surrendered three earned runs in 14 innings while striking out 11 and walking five. In three of Gomez's appearances from the bullpen, he came in after a struggling Jonathan Sanchez exited, then made his first start on May 1 in place of Sanchez.
Gomez was 2-0 with a 2.28 ERA overall before Friday's game after going 14-16 with a 5.18 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in three years with Cleveland. in Friday's 5-4 win over the Astros, he allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks in 4 2/3 innings.
"Sometimes guys just wake up and get it, and they didn't get it where they were," Hurdle said. "Maybe it's because you lost an opportunity somewhere else that reality has sunk in that you might need to make an adjustment that you need to make to find that next level of success."
Worth noting
• Russell Martin keeps getting props for leading all Major League catchers in runners caught stealing (226) since he broke in with the Dodgers in 2006. The praise is deserving, and his defensive influence on the Pirates can't be overstated.
However, one must bear in mind the intimidation factor: St. Louis' Yadier Molina, regarded as being the Majors' best throwing catcher, has nailed 189 runners in the same stretch. However, Martin has also had exactly twice as many bases stolen on his watch (514) than Molina (257).
He was credited with another caught stealing in Friday's game, but a ran came home because of an error on the play.
• Last Sunday in New York, Clint Barmes became only the second player this season to get two hits off the Mets' Matt Harvey. Miami's Donovan Solano did it first, and the Cubs' Starlin Castro did it on Friday.
First number, last word
5-9: The Pirates' record, after Friday night's opener of a three-game set against Houston, in the first games of series this season, in stark contrast to their record (20-8) in all other games.
"Good teams that go on to play late, you hear it from them at the end every year: 'It took all of us.' You get to rely on different guys throughout the season for a spark." -- Hurdle, on the importance of keeping everyone on the 25-man roster involved.

text: Don;t get me started on ENT - the Relaunch novels were not to my liking, though they had quite a bit of potential. I agree that we may have seen the last of ENT for the foreseeable future. IMO DS9 is quite far from the TV series, cast and setting-wise. VOY, OTOH and from what I understand, is back in the DQ with its full cast (sans Tuvok for now at least). I have nothing against Beyer's ability to develop the cast of characters - far from it. It's just that the very idea of reverting the setting (if not the series proper) to an earlier status quo (whether caused by fan reaction, editorial demand or other reasons entirely) doesn't make me want to follow the Janeway-led VOY arc/s. I don't presume to know the reasons for this development, and I suspect we'll never get the full story on this, I just don't like the character of Janeway and the VOY stories I read with her in charge. That's not to say that if I come across an interesting premise for a VOY novel, I'll boycott it - that would be stupid IMO. Just where once I followed Beyer's VOY novels without question, I'll now be a more discerning customer.

Leaked, stolen data leaps by 40%
The number of people who had personal information hacked, leaked or lost jumped by 40 per cent to 160 million this year, according to KPMG.
The consulting firm calculated the tally by adding up those affected by 835 known major data breaches.
Those included the loss of 6.5 million user passwords in June by social networking site LinkedIn, the loss of 1.5 million people's credit card details by financial services firm Global Payments and the loss by clothing retailer Zappos in January of the personal details — including physical and email addresses — of its 24 million customers.
Just over two-thirds of the personal information was compromised as a result of hacking attacks, KPMG said. Credit card details and passwords used to access online service were often what was being sought.
Just over half of the data breaches occurred at commercial businesses but there had been no improvement in the security of information held by governmental and healthcare organisations, KPMG said.
Director Philip Whitmore said it had observed a shift from the accidental loss of data to deliberate theft "either to steal or re-sell the data, or sometimes simply for fun or to make a great headline".
"Several of the world's largest companies have been targeted over recent months by hackers who have grown in sophistication. It is now not just a lone hacker sitting in their bedroom but, in many cases, serious organisations backed by nation states who are leading this new phenomenon," he said.
Most data breaches went unpublicised, KPMG believed.

Deep Silver apologizes for offensive Dead Island Riptide Zombie Bait Edition
Well, that didn't take long. Not soon after announcing theDead Island Riptide Bait Edition, publisher Deep Silver issued an apology "for any offense" caused by its contents — of which notably consisted of an armless, headless, bloody bikini-wearing torso. To many, it was offensive — to say the least.
"We deeply apologize for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide "Zombie Bait Edition", the collector's edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector's Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia," Deep Silver began in a lengthy Twitter post.
"For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island."
"We sincerely regret this choice. We are collecting feedback continuously from the Dead Island community, as well as the international gaming community at large, for ongoing internal meetings with Deep Silver's entire international team today," the publisher concluded. "For now, we want to reiterate to the community, fans and industry how deeply sorry we are, and that we are committed to making sure this will never happen again."
This is certainly not the start Deep Silver wanted to get on withDead Island Riptide, especially after the controversial launch of the originalDead Island.There's no word yet if Deep Silver intends on canceling this special edition.

Where were your seats?

With some of the better LL PSL's, the lower FV of the ticket makes the losses on PS games more reasonable and breaking even/profiting isn't impossible.
a good friend of mine who used to share a game ticket with me put it best.
he said id much rather be at home surrounded by family and friends and people who want to watch the game instead of at the stadium with those being held hostage by woodys psls.
This is probably why most teams do not allow financing of PSLs. By allowing the stretching out of payments, fans will do just what some on this board are doing, stop paying.
The Giants did not finance their PSLs, I believe though they had a 2 payment option.
Selling off your tickets makes you a fair weather fan. Not someone dedicated each week to go out and cheer the team on.
Like I said it's like the guy who calls himself a devout Catholic or Jew by paying the membership fees but never shows up.
I'm committed to giving the Jets a check for $5,000 a year for 30 years. Factor in inflation and increases, I'll be paying the Jets $200,000 to watch them play between now and 2040, so if I want to attend 4 games in a down year vs. 8 games in a good year I think I'm comfortable with that.
And, if you want to play the "fairweather fan" game, please feel free to write a check to the Jets for $201,000 and then you can tell me exactly what you think of me.
what season ticket holders choose to do with their tickets is their business.
when UDers bail this offseason, there will be enough new UDers to take their place so nobody will actually notice
If PSL holders want to bail and pee away whatever their investment to date is, that's fine too. There will be sufficient new buyers to take their place too
I'm not sure when I read that a PSL guy is not renewing what that means
If it means walking out and abandoning the part or all of the PSL you've already paid, that is not wise, financially in my opinion. Find a secondary market buyer for it and at least recoup part of your investment if your financial situation or short term anger is so bad that you need to get out
Whatever, the stadium will be sufficiently sold out next season, PSL seat owners with good seats will continue, for the vast majority, to be happy with their seats, the experience and live NFL football
massive PSL exodus or whatever the title for this thread
NOT happening
Ehhhh, I posted that I would never leave my seats a few weeks ago but, it's starting to become a financial burden. $2750 for 2 seats and parking plus $800 per year for a PSL payment. My PSL's are $4000 each. I'm thinking I'm kind of in a hole here. Anyone have any good (serious) advice on how to get rid of them?
The "elite" games mean that a team with a large, traveling fanbase comes to town with them, has nothing to do with the Jets performance. Pittsburgh, New England, Miami, and New Orleans look good for 2013. Two of those games will get me 2x face, the other two will get me more than face, subsidizes the other half of the games that I will attend.
My seats are in Row 1 of Mezz A adjacent to Club seats. My seats at 2x face value are cheaper than the Club seats at a modest 25% markup. My seats sell because a) they are Row 1 and b) they are always under the price of the Club seats adjacent to them. That's why I chose them.
If the Club seat owners start to sell below face I adjust my pricing accordingly, but I'm still at 1.5x or .5x over face for my tickets even when they lower theirs below face.
Row 1, adjacent to Club's, visitors side. Win.

The Texas Longhorns continue their impressive run of early commitments. After picking up a commitment from one of the state's top defensive players in Deoundrei Davis on Sunday morning, the UT staff snagged a player from one of the Lone Star State's best offensive players on Sunday afternoon.
Longhorn fans, you can officially welcome versatile athlete Jacorey Warrick to the family. The Cypress Falls standout called the Texas coaches on Sunday afternoon to officially become the eighth commitment of the Longhorns' 2013 recruiting class.
"He did it about an hour ago," said Cy Falls head coach Kirk Eaton. "He went down there yesterday and wanted to see where he fit in to the program. Coach (Oscar) Giles has done a great job recruiting him. He's been up front with him.
"They initially started recruiting him as an athlete. In fact, when he went to the camp last year I think Jacorey actually put DB on the questionnaire that he filled out. He just had to go down there, see what coach (Mack) Brown, coach (Darrell) Wyatt and coach Giles thought about it.
"They discussed it yesterday and he got a great feeling from the staff. They told him they want him as a wide receiver. I think he's the slot guy they're looking for in this class."
The 5-11, 165-pound Warrick had an idea that he'd likely put an early end to the recruiting process. He and his father spoke to his coaches last week and informed them that Warrick would like to decide on a college in the near future.
"He's a great kid. As good a football player he is, he's a better kid. He had so many offers from great schools," Eaton said. "He wanted to get it over sooner rather than later. He said he didn't want schools holding spots for him when could be recruiting other players.
"He's a great young man. If he comes back and say 'Texas is home for me,' that's a decision he didn't just make because he was wowed with the facilities or the tradition. He thought it through."
At Saturday's junior day visit, Warrick was able to take in a Longhorn practice and he told coach Eaton that he liked the overall environment of the football program, the tempo of the practice and the coaching methods used by Brown and Wyatt. Eaton thinks Warrick will fit perfectly in the UT offense.
"He's explosive. We put him everywhere - inside, outside, on fly sweeps. He'll run some wildcat for us at quarterback next year," Eaton said. "He's so explosive. He has more than enough speed to blow the top off the coverage. But what makes him truly scary, he can turn a zero yard pass into a score. If you make a mistake, it's a TD with him. He can take a short pass and turn it into a home run ball. That's what he does with our offense, that's what I think he'll do at Texas.
"I think they talked to him about a Jordan Shipley role, working in the slot. He's very, very explosive. He can jump out of the gym. You can't teach athleticism. He adjusts to the ball. But the best thing about him is he's a yes sir kind of kid. He asks what he needs to do to get better. He makes others better around him. Texas got a kid they can trust in the classroom, outside of the classroom and in the community."
Prior to committing to Texas, Warrick had picked up offers from Nebraska, Utah, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, LSU, Northwestern, Clemson, Oklahoma State and Missouri. He's ranked No. 31 on the 2013 Lone Star Recruiting Top 100.
As a junior, Warrick hauled in 43 receptions for 856 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Water District annual meeting held in Wilmington
WILMINGTON -- The Wilmington Water District Committee has been looking for a location to drill for a new well to service its customers.
"Are you looking for a site for a well on Ray Hill?" asked Wilmington Selectboard Chairwoman Meg Streeter.
Wilmington Water District Operator Chris Lavoy said there were still efforts going on, looking for a spot on that road.
A water district must have a certain amount of water to supply its users. It is generally double the amount the users actually use. A new well would help sustain the water district, but Lavoy said there are other ways to bring in more water.
Streeter asked if there would be a way to find people who may be interested in selling their wells. Lavoy said the process would involve reviews by officials who specialize in wetlands usage standards and archaeologists. The site would have to be looked at to see how close it would be to transmission lines.
Under a new state law, the Long Term Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, the district committee will have to move forward with a different kind of system that would allow for proper filtration of the water, "so we don't go in violation of the state."
"We're not totally ruling out the opportunity to drill the well," Lavoy said.
A cost analysis by the district's engineer determined that a well would have the "highest up front cost," in comparison to other ways of providing more water.
Streeter mentioned that in a report from Southern Vermont Engineers, the Wilmington Water District uses about 105 gallons a minute.
Besides drilling a new well, another option could be digging up springs in the mountains in the district. It was mentioned that the lake could be used as a back-up, but there would be a cost to infiltrate it.
Lavoy said as of now, the district is using 17 springs from Haystack Mountain. Three are under the influence of surface water, making it about 43 percent of the overall water going out to the Water District customers.
There also has been talk of a merger between the Water District and the Town of Wilmington.
Two years ago, someone at Town Meeting had asked how the district committee and Wilmington Selectboard would feel about a possible merger. Streeter added that especially with deadlines for state standards coming up in October 2014, the idea has been put on both groups' tables.
A memorandum had been signed by both the Selectboard and the Wilmington Water District. The district's voters would have to approve the merger before it could take place.
The district committee was asked if rates would be raised again this year. The rates will not be raised again this year, but once a year, the district must raise its rates, based on the costs of living, one committee member told the public.
The district's budget then came up.
"The 2012 budget showed us spending more than we were taking in," said Streeter. "$220,000 versus water rents bringing in $190,000."
"Part of that was because of the engineering stuff that's been going on," said Laurie Boyd from the Water Commission. "We were close. In the last couple of years, we actually came out ahead."
Towards the end of the meeting, Lavoy brought up water audits and meters.
"We're talking about changing all the metering chambers and all the meters in all the houses," he said. "They are 21 years old. The life expectancy of (these meters) are 12 to 15 years. They should be changed out every 12 to 15 years. We've discussed doing that."
At its annual meeting on March 12, the Water District committee elected Robert Ware as its Moderator. Guy Nido was elected Water Commissioner for three years and Mary Jane Finnegan was elected Water Commissioner for two years.
Patricia Johnson was elected Clerk. Laurie Boyd was elected Treasurer. Catherine Goodell was elected Collector of Water Rents for one year and Christine Richter was elected Auditor.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Sixteen-time NHRA champion John Force says his daugher, Brittany, will see a specialist after briefly blacking out in her Top Fuel dragster during a qualifying run.
Brittany Force apparantley passed out for an instant during the Gatornationals earlier this week. John Force says Brittany hit a bump down the track that lifted her out of her seat. By the time she landed, the car's parachutes had opened, creating a strong whiplash effect.
"She whiplashed her neck, Brittany did in the dragster, and it really scared me," John Force said after winning the Funny Car class in Gainesville for the first time since 2001.
The team owner told fellow Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher, who suggested the specialist.
"I went over and talked to him," John Force said. "I said, 'She blacked out. She had sparks.' He said it's that nerve thing right in your neck. When you jerk, the brain sparks for a minute. I do that walking down the sidewalk, down the stairs. He told me how to fix it. It's not a spine problem. It's a deal where the muscle tweaks and the blood flows and it give you flashes, what will cause you to knock out.
"She hit a bump down there and ... her body went freefall, and when it came down, the chutes grabbed her and it jerked her. And she was scared."
John Force said he welcomed Schumacher's suggestion and planned to follow through by taking Brittany to a specialist in Chicago.
"I know how hard he wants to help her," John Force said. "He said, 'Now, I'm going to call you and you're going to tell me you're going to go to this doctor. He's got a specialist. And I said, 'Yeah, I'm putting her on a plane to Chicago; I'm going to get it done. They did it to him. They also did it to another driver."

WOODBRIDGE, Va., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama Friday jumped on his Republican rival's comment that 47 percent of Americans don't pay taxes and call themselves victims.
"I don't believe we can get very far with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims, who think that they're not interested in taking responsibility for their own lives," Obama said during a campaign appearance in Woodbridge, Va. "I don't see a lot of victims in this crowd today. I see hard-working Virginians."
Obama skewered GOP rival Mitt Romney and Republicans in general for wanting to keep tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in place, a move the president and Democrats say will cost trillions of dollars for the rest of Americans.
"Mr. Romney thinks that if we just spend another $5 trillion on tax cuts that favor the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans, all our problems are going to solved. Jobs and prosperity will rain down from the sky. Deficits will magically disappear. We will all live happily ever after. The end."
No one believes government should be helping those who refuse to help themselves, Obama said.
"But we do believe in something called opportunity," he said to applause. "We believe in a country where hard work pays off; where responsibility is rewarded; where everyone gets a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody plays by the same rules."
He repeated several themes from his other stump speeches -- the road to recovery won't be easy, and outlining his five-point plan for job creation, growing the middle-class, rebuilding the economy on a stronger foundation and providing for U.S. troops at war and when they return home.
Republicans, he said, have said repeatedly that "bigger tax cuts and fewer regulations are the only way to go; that since government can't do everything, it should do almost nothing. Their basic attitude is, you're on your own."
"I've got a different vision," Obama said.
Campaigning Friday in Sarasota, Fla., Romney seized on a remark Obama made Thursday during a town hall in Miami, when the president said: "You can't change Washington just from the inside. You change it from the outside."
Romney Friday accused Obama of throwing in the "white flag" on change: "I will change Washington. I will get the job done from the inside."
Firing back, Obama said in Woodbridge, Va.
"For some reason, my opponent got really excited. He rewrote his speech, proudly declared 'I'll get the job done from the inside,'" the president said.
"What kind of inside job is he talking about?"

Golf courses in Lucca italy
Golf in Tuscany is one of the most enjoyable outdoor activities practiced during a wonderful holiday at Tenuta San Pietro.
At about half an hour's drive, you can reach the famous Montecatini Golf & Country Club, founded in 1985 and featuring a restaurant, a spa, and pool and shopping spaces. Open all year, it has a track nearly 6,000 metres long and fairly complex, capable of putting a strain on the guests. The natural obstacles such as its valleys, the vegetation of tall trees and ponds contribute to inflame the game and give rise to a particularly attractive context.
Golf in Tuscany, go straight to the hole with the elegant four-star superior hotel in Lucca. The Versilia Golf Resort, on the other hand, is located in Pietrasanta, north of our superior four-star hotel in Lucca, just over thirty minutes by car. Its location is definitely exciting, set halfway between the Alps and the sea and thus offering players an added value in terms of landscape. Designed by the famous Venetian architect Marco Croze, it has a lively path, composed of large tees and very challenging from a technical standpoint.Golf


text: I have been having trouble for sometime with my laptop. I try and keep my computers up to date with ALL my software. I recently updated my laptop (XP) and desktop (VISTA) to the latest Zonealarm Security Suite (9.1.008 ) and FireFox (3.5.5). Everything worked great with my Vista machine but my XP machine had problems loading my home page when it was launched. I received a this message Sorry this page is temporarily unavailable, with a refresh button. I tried removing both Zonealarm and FireFox and reinstralling each from scratch. Same results each time. I almost gave up but decided to do one last check. I opened Firefox on both machines and went to Tools- Options and compared each entry with the two. All was the same until I checked the Privacy And found the Vista machine with the Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session checked and the XP was not. Changed the XP to start as above. Saved and restarted Firefox and problem solved. I tested the XP machine by checking and unchecking the afore mentioned. Each time problem returned. Funny thing when I unchecked the Vista machine it made no difference. I left both machines checked. If anyone knows if this could cause me problems let me know.

Documented violations – actual number of cases may be higher
The year 2011 was marked by labour disputes and violations of freedom of association in the public and private banking and health sectors. Collective bargaining rights were also violated in hospitals and in the private metal sector.
In 2011, the number of unionised workers in Uruguay reached approximately 420,000, representing a union membership rate of 36%, the highest in Latin America. Social dialogue has led to the adoption of social protection measures in response to the crisis, including action to protect decent work. The government and trade unions have also maintained the far-reaching programme to promote collective bargaining at branch level, which has benefitted thousands of workers.
Disputes over labour and trade union rights arose, mainly during the early months of 2011, involving low paid workers in the commercial and service sectors.
Trade union rights in law
There are some areas of concern despite basic trade union rights being secured. The Constitution guarantees freedom of association and recognises the right to strike as a trade union right. Workers are adequately protected against acts of anti-union discrimination and dismissal, and the law also provides for reinstatement in the case a unionist is unfairly dismissed.
While the right to collective bargaining is recognised in law, it is mostly carried out by branch of activity, with Wages Councils regulating the minimum wage and working conditions for each category of workers. The Wages Councils are tripartite bodies, and the Ministry of Labour is one of the negotiating parties. The ILO has held that the possibility of a vote being held in the Councils for setting conditions of employment infringes upon the principle of free and voluntary bargaining.

In practice
No entry for this country for this year
Collective bargaining rights denied in public and private banking sector: Between August and October 2011, public banking workers affiliated to the AEBU and private banking workers staged a series of stoppages to press for collective bargaining on labour conditions. The process had been blocked since December 2010. The collective action finally succeeded in pressing the banking sector to engage in negotiations and to examine the union demands.
Refusal to negotiate at Hospital Evangélico Uruguay: In October 2011, workers at Hospital Evangélico affiliated to the Federación Uruguaya de la Salud (FUS) decided to hold a 24-hour sit-in at the hospital in support of their demand for the negotiation of a collective agreement, which the administration was firmly refusing to discuss. The workers returned to work pending the definitive resolution of their demands regarding decent working conditions.
Refusal to bargain collectively in metal sector: In November 2011, metal workers affiliated to UNTMRA held a 25-day strike in response to their employers' refusal to engage in collective bargaining negotiations, called for 10 months before, within the framework of the Wage Councils, a bargaining mechanism whereby workers and employers agree on progressive pay adjustments in a specific branch of activity over a given period of time. The action succeeded in pressing the companies to negotiate with the union.
Collective agreements not honoured in health sector: In December 2011, the Sindicato Médico del Uruguay (SMU) announced a series of stoppages in the public and private health sector. The workers were demanding the fulfilment of the collective agreements signed in 2009, as well as fair and decent hours and pay conditions for the welfare of the patients in their care.

Memorial Day All-American Grilling Menu and Recipes
Come Party With Me: Memorial Day Barbecue — Menu
As much as I love experimenting with exotic flavors and different grill techniques, the last time I enjoyed barbecue was in October, and at the start of the grilling season there's only one thing I crave: all-American favorites. I'm talking about grilled succulent shrimp, finger-licking-good chicken with sticky-sweet-smoky barbecue sauce, and hearty warm weather salads. This Memorial Day, my menu is chock-full of BBQ classics, from a Southern succotash to a sophisticated orzo salad. The peel-and-eat shrimp starter is served with a spicy, ketchup-based cocktail sauce. The highlight — a whole grilled chicken — is slathered in a homemade barbecue sauce that's easy to put together. To take a look at these crowd-pleasing recipes,
Grilled Shrimp Cocktail
From Epicurious
- Cocktail sauce:
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish root*
- 2 tablespoons high-quality bottled horseradish
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 medium shallots, peeled, and grated on a Microplane grater
- Brine:
- 8 cups water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 lemons
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled, and grated on a Microplane grater
- 3 cups ice
- Twenty-four 8- to 12-count unpeeled shrimp (this means shrimp that come 8 to 12 to a pound)
- 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground coarse black pepper
- 2 lemons, each cut into 4 wedges
- Stir together all of the cocktail sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for the flavors to develop.
- Combine all of the brine ingredients in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Cut the lemons in half, squeeze the juice into the brine, and add the whole lemons as well. Stir in the garlic, followed by the ice.
- For each of the shrimp, using a paring knife, cut along the curve of the back of the shrimp, and remove the vein, keeping the shells intact. Clip the feet off with a small pair of scissors.
- Place the shrimp in the brine and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat all grates of a well-oiled charcoal or gas grill to medium.
- Remove the shrimp from the brine and lightly pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the shrimp in the canola oil. In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and chives. Set aside.
- Place the shrimp on the grate, close the lid, and grill for 4 minutes. Flip to the second side and grill for 4 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and immediately place in the bowl with the olive oil mixture, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
Serves 8.
*Fresh horseradish is available in many markets and is worth seeking out. If you can't find it, the sauce won't have that extra punch, but it'll still have great flavor. Use additional bottled horseradish to taste.

Grilled Whole Chicken With Barbecue Sauce
From Everyday Food
- 1 whole chicken (4 to 4 1/2 pounds)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 cup Classic Barbecue Sauce, recipe below
- Set up grill for indirect grilling. Rinse chicken inside and out and dry thoroughly. Generously season inside and out with coarse salt and ground pepper. Clean and lightly oil hot grates.
- Place chicken, breast side up, on opposite side of grill from heat. Cover and grill until cooked through, or a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours, rotating halfway through cooking (if using a charcoal grill, add a couple of handfuls of charcoal every half hour to maintain heat).
- About 15 minutes before chicken is done, brush with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Let chicken rest 20 minutes before carving.
Serves 4.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small white onion, diced small
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 can (28) ounces tomato sauce
1/4 cup unsulfered molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper
- In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook until completely soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add tomato paste and mustard; cook, stirring constantly, until paste turns a brick-red color, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, molasses, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt, and pepper and stir until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low and partially cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours (thin with water if sauce becomes too thick). Season to taste with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let cool completely before using. (To store, refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze up to 4 months.)
Makes about 5 1/2 cups.

It gets kind of cold here in MI. Plus riding two up, the shorter one dosen't deflect too much from my girl on the back. I'm about 5'8" tall. Any ideas?

Pharmacy Boasts New Services, New Look
Everything is new at the Eisenhower Medical Center Pharmacy! New home delivery services, recent renovations and plans to implement a new system expediting the prescription filling process are transforming this service center into a state-of-the-art facility that is virtually accessible 24-hours-a-day. But there is one thing that has not and will not change — the very human aspect of service with a smile.
"Our mission is to make a visit or call to the Pharmacy the easiest part of someone's day," says Lyle Matthews, Director of Pharmacy Services at Eisenhower Medical Center. "We also want to make it one of the most pleasant experiences of one's day, and are here to serve our customers to the best of our ability."
The Pharmacy has simplified the process of getting prescriptions transferred, both to newcomers and snowbirds coming into the desert, as well as for those traveling.The prescription can either be transferred to the Eisenhower Pharmacy from a distant location, or to a pharmacy in the destination city/location, or customers can have their prescription conveniently mailed directly from the Eisenhower Pharmacy to their home or new destination, in or out of state.
"Customers simply need to give us their address, or, if desired, the name of the pharmacy they want to work with in their new location, and we'll make the call,"Matthew says. "Customers can either notify us before they leave town or can call and set up the service after they've left. It's that easy!"
Other enhancements include a redesign of the Pharmacy's front store area, discontinuing items that were not suited to our Eisenhower patients or not selling, and making the space more open and airy.
"There were islands and islands of merchandise that took up a lot of space," Matthews says. "We rearranged the space, added some chairs and a television, and made Eisenhower Pharmacy a more open and inviting place."
The Pharmacy is also in the process of implementing an after-hours telephone number that will allow customers to refill prescriptions around the clock.The automated service will be user-friendly, and will greatly enhance and automate the refill process. Customers may "opt out" of the service during regular business hours to speak with a member of the Pharmacy staff, or can simply call the Pharmacy's main number, 760-773-1219.The new system will be operational by the end of summer 2005.
Eisenhower Pharmacy Eisenhower Pharmacy offers a 10 percent discount program for seniors and members of Eisenhower's Center for Healthy Living. Open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, the Eisenhower Pharmacy is located on the first floor of Eisenhower's Kiewit Building. They are also a simple phone call away at 760-773-1219.

Robotic surgery - the term implies some futuristic concept, a la the "Jetsons" or Isaac Asimov. As someone who was a science fiction fan growing up, I never thought I'd actually spend every day of my professional life answering this question.
As a gynecologic oncology surgeon, this is a question I now ask myself every time I pick up a patient's chart. And the answer more times than not is YES! Why?

Before you start, be aware of the most common pitfalls you will face in your first three months of blogging, and plan for how to survive them:
1. Copycat confusion
You try to model your blog after others in the industry, but you don't get the same results. What you're missing is the solid foundation underneath any
successful business blog.
Survival tactic:
Study other blogs for what you like and don't like. Then, apply those things to your company's unique blogging strategy.
2. Lack of buy-in from the team
You got permission to start the initiative, but now you're met with skepticism and resistance. No one can agree on what you're doing and why. Some people
see blogging as an onerous extra step that dilutes your existing marketing efforts.
Learn why you need a content marketing plan at our content marketing boot camp.]
Learn why you need a content marketing plan at our content marketing boot camp.]
Survival tactic:
In your blogging strategy, show how blogging will take your company's existing marketing plan and put it online.
3. Too many ideas/too few ideas
You may have tons of new ideas for blog posts, which can be overwhelming, or you may feel unsure about which subjects would make a good post.
Survival tactic:
Create an editorial calendar and pre-populate it with key topics that meet your customers' needs and your goals for the blog.
4. Branding confusion
If your blog has a different look and feel than your company's website, visitors aren't getting a unified experience of your company's brand.
Survival tactic:
Work with your company's IT department or a website developer to integrate the blog into your main website with the same colors, layout and navigation
5. Every post is a dead end
Some people say they've seen and liked your blog, but most tell you they weren't aware of it or didn't realize you added anything new.
Survival tactic:
Offer an email subscription for your latest blog posts, and link to other related posts from each post. Also, suggest one action readers can take after
they read. It can be to read other posts, leave a comment, connect with you on social media, or learn more about one of your related products or services.
6. Comment obsession
You check the blog several times a day and despair because there are no comments. Why do other blogs have comments and yours has none?
Survival tactic:
Have patience. It takes time to build an audience. Also, people may not feel comfortable leaving public comments on some topics. This doesn't mean that the
blog isn't working.
7. Inconsistent quality and frequency
One week there are two new posts, then nothing for two months. Most posts are well-written and researched, but some lower-quality posts are published just
to have new content.
Survival tactic:
Have a clear process for managing the calendar, editing submissions and training people on the basics of blogging.
8. Category clutter
Each contributor makes his own list of categories for every new post. Soon there are several versions of the same category, which creates confusion for
readers and writers alike.
Survival tactic:
Lay out five to seven key categories in your initial blogging strategy, and insist all bloggers choose from that list.
9. Good content can't get through
You may need to have your company's legal, human resources or communications department review and approve posts. Sometimes they'll ask for revisions,
which can feel frustrating when you're trying to keep your blog fresh and current.
Survival tactic:
Consult those content reviewers when you write your initial blogging strategy, and then meet regularly to discuss their issues and concerns.
10. Losing enthusiasm and fizzling out
After battling to defend the blog, you start to question whether it's worth the time, effort and stress. You post less and less, and blogging moves down
the list of daily tasks until you relegate it to a few stolen moments in between more pressing priorities.
Survival tactic:
Follow your editorial calendar and keep posting. Read articles about successful blogging techniques and the benefits of blogging.
11. The pull to quit
As you post less often, momentum stalls and you lose touch with your initial enthusiasm. You wonder whether blogging will produce the promised results—and
Survival tactic:
Set clear and realistic goals for your company blog with both qualitative and quantitative measurements. Schedule specific times to objectively review
these measurements. Remember that blogging is a long-term strategy that builds on itself and creates a collection of marketing collateral you can draw on
for years to come.
12. Success!
If you plan ahead for these pitfalls and apply these business blogging survival tactics, you will see a return for your blogging efforts, such as increased
awareness in the marketplace, more leads or the social proof of people liking and sharing your pages and content. Some savvy marketers even turn their blog
posts into other valuable assets such as white papers, presentations, books, case studies, videos or checklists.
Have you faced any of these pitfalls with your company blog? How did you overcome them?

Apple has just released Hard
Drive Firmware Update 2.0 to its Mac users. The firmware
update "reduces certain infrequent noises made by 7200-rpm
drives." The new firmware ID is 0007APM2, for those
Apple claims that the issues are confined to the new
MacBook Pros it began shipping in June (13" and 15") -- but
it can't hurt for those who purchased the 17" MacBook Pro in
January to update as well.
Another fix also came down the pipe
for Mac users. All unibody Macs and Macs shipped in 2009 likely
use the Broadcom chipset for Bluetooth wireless. The chipset
had performed poorly, according to some, leading to difficulties
using Apple's wireless mice and keyboards. With Bluetooth
Firmware Update 2.0.1, various bugs are fixed and the wireless
performance is increased.
While its always disappointing to
see hardware issues escape pre-launch quality testing, it's good to
see that Apple is at least trying hard to solve some of the hardware
issues on its Macs. Now if Apple can figure out a way to fix
the display
problems that some users have experienced.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office said Lance Tomberlin, 26, went into a store just outside Tallahassee on January 2, produced the cattle prod and demanded money from the clerk. Officials said he shocked the clerk several times before the clerk pulled a handgun.
Authorities said Tomberlin fled and another employee tried to restrain him, but he eventually escaped in his truck. Deputies stopped Tomberlin's truck but he fled on foot.
The sheriff's office said Tomberlin was arrested Tuesday and charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery.
Jail records didn't said if Tomberlin had an attorney. He was being held without bail.

Cable had 'no knowledge' of polling
Vince Cable has insisted he had "absolutely no knowledge" of damaging polling conducted in Nick Clegg's constituency by his friend Lord Oakeshott, who has quit the Liberal Democrats.
The Business Secretary denied he knew about controversial polling leaked to newspapers this week which showed the Lib Dems could lose the Deputy Prime Minister's Sheffield Hallam constituency at the next general election but could fare better with a different leader.
Once Lord Oakeshott was widely named as the source, speculation became rife that his former ally Dr Cable was lining up a potential bid for the party leadership after disastrous local and European election results for the Lib Dems.
But Dr Cable moved to quell the rumours he was involved in the polling.
Speaking from Beijing in China, where he was on a Government trade visit, the Business Secretary said: "Parties conduct polls all the time at national and local level.
"In this particular case, Lord Oakeshott asked my election campaign manager if we wanted a poll done in my local constituency, we said yes. It was a private, local poll done for general election planning, absolutely nothing to do with national leadership.
"I was aware that he was conducting other polls around the country and I was certainly told in general terms what the trends were, and in one particular case concerning my parliamentary private secretary Tessa Munt from Wells, we sat down and discussed the details with her.
"But I had absolutely no knowledge of, or certainly was not involved in any commissioning of the surveys that were done in Sheffield Hallam and Inverness, and indeed I criticised him very severely yesterday."
Dr Cable described Lord Oakeshott as a longstanding friend that he hoped would consider rejoining the party in the future.
He said: "I very much regret it has finished up in this way and I regret he has decided to leave the party.
"I have given a very full and complete explanation of what I knew about these polls. I think the explanation is straightforward.
"We have been through some very bad elections, a lot of people have been very bruised by it. I want to work with my party colleagues to put it back on track.
"The information released to the press and commissioned about Sheffield Hallam and Inverness was damaging. I knew absolutely nothing about that, I was not involved with it in any way. I made that clear yesterday."
Dr Cable added: "We have clearly disagreed about the handling of this, I have made that very clear, and I want to make it clear I will continue with my work and I hope he reconsiders his position about the party in due course."
The Business Secretary's comments follow the emergence of the ICM poll findings from five crucial Lib Dem constituencies in the Guardian this week.
The results indicated the party would fare better in Mr Clegg's own constituency and those of other senior figures if the Deputy Prime Minister was replaced.
After it emerged that Lord Oakeshott was almost certainly the instigator of the polling, Mr Clegg threatened him with disciplinary action.
The peer quit the party today, lashing out at the "disastrous" Deputy Prime Minister and saying he left the party with a "heavy heart".
Announcing his resignation, Lord Oakeshott said: "I am sorry I have so upset and embarrassed my old friend Vince Cable and that we were not able to talk before he issued yesterday's statement from China.
"The combined message of these five professional and reputable ICM constituency polls, Nick Clegg's dire approval ratings year after year in all national polls, and Thursday's appalling council and European election results is crystal clear: we must change the leader to give Liberal Democrat MPs their best chance to win in 2015."
He added: "A few stout-hearted MPs and peers and hundreds, maybe soon thousands, of candidates, councillors and Lib Dem members all over Britain are now fighting constituency by constituency for a leadership election.
"I have tried to give them the evidence they need to make the change. I pray that they win, and that the right man, or preferably, woman is now elected to save the party."
Stephen Tall, co-editor of influential party blog Lib Dem Voice, has called for Mr Clegg's resignation.
Writing on his blog, Mr Tall claimed the party could once again find itself in the role of kingmaker in a hung parliament after next year's general election.
But he argued that Mr Clegg was the wrong leader to negotiate a deal which would be acceptable to Lib Dem members.
Mr Tall also raised the possibility of Mr Clegg continuing as Deputy Prime Minister while resigning the party leadership.
He wrote: "I don't think Nick will be able to secure a coalition deal with the Conservatives that Lib Dem members will be prepared to sign up to: there is too much suspicion lingering from the current deal.
"Nor do I think Nick will be able to do a deal with Labour that he will be able credibly to communicate to the voters as anything other than a complete about-turn on the previous five years of cohabitation with the Tories.
"In short, Nick is one of the impediments (not the only one, but a not insignificant one) to the Lib Dems being free to negotiate a second coalition if that's the hand we're dealt."
He added: "If Nick Clegg stands down now as party leader, though, he would go out with his head held high.
"And though it's unconventional and has risks, I see no real reason why Nick couldn't remain as Deputy Prime Minister through until May 2015, allowing the new party leader to present the party's manifesto unencumbered by the compromises of coalition."
Lib Dem Transport Minister Baroness Kramer defended Dr Cable.
She told BBC Two's Newsnight: "All I can say is Vince has made a categorical statement, I'm comfortable with that.
"He said that basically (Lord Oakeshott's) behaviour has been inexcusable.
"As far as I'm concerned he's doing what he should do, which is he's in China working for the British economy and state."
Asked whether Dr Cable knew that Lord Oakeshott's polls were asking about the Business Secretary's suitability as a potential Lib Dem leader, Lady Kramer said: "I haven't talked to Vince.
"Knowing Vince I very much doubt it because you just look at the statements that Vince made before he left for China, he was very supportive of Nick Clegg, he understands what our job is for the next year, he's made those same kind of statements in China."
Party activist group the Social Liberal Forum, which represents left-wing members, called for a vote to be held on Mr Clegg's leadership.
Writing to the Times, the group said the loss of 300 Lib Dem councillors and 10 out of 11 MEPs last week cannot just be blamed on being in coalition with the Tories.
The group said in its letter: "It is right that this debate should include who leads the party.
"As a democratic party, the membership will hold the key to this re-examination."

I say that it is odd when thy man moans more than thy women.
HOLY FUCK!! i fucked that girl 2 years ago!!!
her moaning is absolutely perfect... I like how she is touching and holding his balls during sucking und being penetrated from behind.
that guy needs to shut the fuck up
pretty girl...she looks really uncomfortable though...maybe because he has her in a shitty position! and is an ugly motherfucker ....thats why her eyes are closed
Someone needs to tell the guy to STFU!

He needs to shut the fuck up. She's hot, though.
Wow. Wish my wife sucked dick like that.
hes annoying as fuck!
She's hot, but this dude needs to shut the fuck up.
lol do they flactuate
His moans may have been loud, but if he hadn't of made that much noise we wouldn't of heard anything. The only time she stopped laying their like a log was at the end, but even then it was debatable.

I would love to fuck this girl so much. I love the way she takes his cream inside with such pleasure...hhmmm
