<Insert disclaimer here>
I have a friend named Molly, she's 18 and almost ready to graduate high school. We've talked on the phone while I was away and the conversations turned to sex. She told how she wanted to have sex with me, since I'm fairly sure she's a virgin I was intrigued. As she talked more she mentioned how she wanted to have sex outside, in the woods, with me in control. We never got much further than that though until I came home for a short time. I called and arranged a day trip up to a mountain park, just me and her. I packed some snacks and drinks in my truck, along with a small blanket in a backpack with a couple water bottles and snack bars. Of course I planned ahead and bought some condoms. I picked her up and we stopped on the way out of town to get a bite to eat. The park was only about an hour away on the highway with mild traffic. As we talked I put my arm around her, rubbing her shoulder and working my down her chest, pulling her in for an occasional kiss as we drove. She was nervous at first but soon got into it, rubbing my leg and finally pushing my hand down her shirt. I worked my hand under her bra, anxious to feel her tits, I had never even seen her without a shirt. They were soft and somewhat large, she wore bras to keep them from seeming too large. I played with her nipples and got an occasional kiss as I split my concentration between her and the road. I pulled my hand out of her shirt, she started to ask why I stopped when I put my hand on her leg, I had told her to wear a skirt. I started to slide my hand up, rubbing her thigh as I went, but she put her hand down to stop me, I told her to play with her tits and let me do what I could while we drove. She nervously put one hand up her shirt, I could see her tweaking her nipples, pulling back and forth. She started to breath deeper as my hand got to her panties, the crotch was quickly going from damp to wet. I ran my finger up her slit and she moaned and shook lightly. I asked her if she came and she blushed and said yes, a little one. I told her to take her panties off, she raised her ass of the seat and slid them down, I was surprised to see she was wearing a thong. When she had them off I told her to hike her skirt up and play with herself as traffic was getting heavier. She was working a finger in and out of her slit, flicking her clit occasionally while she continued tweaking her nipples. I saw her getting close to another orgasm and told her to stop. She did, slowly. I told her to lay down on the seat and take her shirt off but leave her bra on, as she laid down and began to pull her shirt off I pushed two fingers into her slit, rubbing her clit with my thumb quickly before pulling back out. I let her lay on the seat, legs spread, with her skirt around her waist and bra pushed up over her tits. I took the exit and we started to climb the mountain, I told her to play with herself but not to cum. We finally reached the top and I looked for where to park, it was a Friday afternoon so it was almost empty. I parked away from everyone else and told her to get dressed but take her bra off and leave it in the truck. When she was dressed we got out, I grabbed the backpack and we walked to the rail, taking in the view, as she leaned on the rail I pinched her ass, she yelped but turned around and kissed me hard. We kissed for a few minutes, leaning on the rail until I took her hand and started walking down a trail. As we were walking she would squeeze my butt and run in front to lift her skirt, showing me her sexy pale ass in the thong. I stopped, put down the backpack and told her to put her thong in the backpack. She turned away, and began to push it down, bending at the waist, showing me her trimmed pussy. I was disappointed when she stood up and put her thong in my backpack. I grabbed her, kissed her lips, and began to nibble on her neck, sliding my hands through the waistband of her skirt, she reached between us and grabbed my hard dick through my shorts squeezing it once before grinding her covered pussy on it, whispering in my ear that she couldn't wait to feel it inside her. We were walking, holding hands when I veered off the trail, leading her down into the woods to a small clearing. I put down the backpack and was pulling the blanket out when she came up behind me, kissing my neck and breathing in my ear as she reached in front to play with my dick, I put one hand behind me, running it up her leg under her skirt to play with her pussy. She started to unbutton my shorts. I turned into her, threw the blanket down behind her quickly, and tripped her into a controlled fall on top of the blanket. I pulled her shirt up and kissed all over her chest, her hands were on my head as I trailed my tongue up the valley between her ample tits, across her nipples, taking them into my mouth and biting softly. I pushed her skirt up to her hips, and slid down. She sighed deeply and squeezed my head with her legs as I sucked on her clit and fingered her. I stopped just before she came and got on my knees straddling her chest. Without a word she unbuttoned my shorts, reaching in and pulling out my cock. She looked at me and said she had never done this before as she raised her head, closing her mouth over the head. She had no bad habits, so I let her work on her skills as I dug in my pocket for a condom. I handed it to her and told her to put it on, she fumbled with the wrapper and figuring out which way it rolled but after a few tries got it right. She licked it once more before I pinned her arms over her head and pushed into her. She grunted and thrust her hips up when I only put in the head, I leaned down and sucked on her nipples until her long held off orgasm came, when she was at her peak I thrust all the way in. I felt something give an inch or two in, but I bottomed out. As I entered her she arched her back and opened her mouth in a silent scream. When she came down from her orgasm she told me she was glad I was her first, that she was worried it wouldn't be this nice. I began to push in and out slowly, pulling almost all the way out and sliding back in, trying to hit a new spot each time. I quickly had her approaching another orgasm, and I was reaching mine, she asked if I was going to come, I told her yes, and she said to take the condom off and come in her, she had some morning after pills in her bag. I pulled out, took the condom off and pushed back in, but this time I let go of her arms. She wrapped her arms around me, and we both started to cum quickly. Her fingernails dug ditches in my back as I emptied my load in her. When I finished I fell down beside her and pulled her close. I whispered in her ear that I hoped it was what she hoped it would be. She whispered back that it was better than she dreamed. As I softened and slid out she pulled my dick up to her mouth and cleaned me off. As we lay there, relaxing in the sun, I opened my bag for waters. She drank hers and asked when I would be ready to go again, she wanted to give me a blowjob. I told her there where other things we could do too, she said different positions and I said yes, but there's still one hole that's virgin. She looked scared but I said only if you want to. She replied by asking when I could get hard again. I told her it would be sooner if she helped by doing something sexy. She thought for a second, said she like the taste of our cum, and began to scoop it out of her pussy and lick it off, I was hard in minutes. She got on top and started to blow me, I reached for an extra lubricated condom and told her to get on her hands and knees. She asked if I was going to fuck her ass, I asked if she wanted me to. She got on her hands and knees, looked back and said, fuck my ass! I put the condom on, licked my finger and started to get her ass wet. I slid into her pussy for a few strokes to get wet and put the head at her backdoor. I asked if she was ready, she pushed back against me, the head slid in and I pushed a few inches in. when she began to cry I asked started to pull out but she said no, just let me get used to it. After a minute she said I'm ready. I pushed all the way in and began to fuck her no longer virgin ass. She reached down and started to play with her clit, and orgasmed again quickly, despite having cum hard only ten minutes or so ago I was getting close, I concentrated on holding off, giving her another orgasm when I pulled her hair and played with her tits. When she finished spasming she spun around, pulled the condom off and sucked me off. I came again. Hard. Blowing ropes into her mouth, she couldn't take it all and some got on her face and dripped onto her tits. As she swallowed I told her she looked really sexy like that, she grinned and began to eat the cum off her face, rubbing it into her tits. She asked when I could get hard again, I told her would be a little while, and we should probably get dressed before we got caught. She reluctantly got dressed. After cleaning up we walked around the trails some more, groping and kissing each other. After walking for a while I looked at my watch and noticed the park was getting ready to close. We got back to the truck and got to the bottom of the mountain as they were closing the gate. On the drive home she pulled away from me, I was confused until she laid her head in my lap, unzipped my shorts and pulled my dick out and started to give me another blowjob. I was concentrating on driving since it was getting dark so I took a while to cum. I hadn't cum when we got to her house, I kissed her, squeezed a tit, and as she climbed out told her I'd call her when I got home. I was just starting to back out when she came running out, said her parents would be gone for a few more hours and said we needed a shower after getting so dirty. I needed no convincing as I shut off my truck and hurried in. We were pulling clothes off as we made our way to the shower. She started the water as I fingered her, kissing her neck. We were soaping each other up and rinsing off when I grabbed her, turned her around and bent her over against the wall, entering her from behind. We were fucking hard and I think we were steaming the room more than the shower when she said, lets go to my room. We quickly dried off and hopped on her bed. I laid back and said you get on top this time. She eagerly climbed on top and started to ride me like she was possessed. It didn't take long in her tight pussy before I came again. She kissed me, cleaned off my cock and ate our cum out of her pussy. I hugged her and said I'm sorry but I have to go. She showed me to the door, giving my sore cock a squeeze as I left.
She called me the next day and asked me to come over for lunch, we were eating lunch with her mother, her dad was at work. She went up to get something or other and her mom asked me if I had been fucking her daughter. I looked shocked thought I was in trouble when she said don't be so surprised, I see the way she's walking and looking at you. I know you have been, but I want some now, if you can make her that sore in just one day I need to get some too. She got under the table, unzipped my shorts and pulled out my cock and started sucking, she was much more experienced than her daughter. When Molly came back in I pointed under the table, she gasped and looked under. Just then her mom crawled out, pulled her pants down and bent over the table and said fuck me like you fucked her. I started reaching for a condom when she said not to bother. I grabbed her hips and bottomed out in one stroke, fucking her with long, hard strokes. Molly just watched in shock. I winked at her, grabbed her mom's tits, pulled out and pushed into her ass in one stroke. She screamed and then yelled that's what she wanted. As I fucked her she came twice before I came, shooting long ropes into her ass as I watched Molly, who had gotten into the spirit, fingering herself furiously. As I pulled out of her mom Molly dropped to her knees and began to clean my cock of her mom's and my juices. Her mom looked back and said not to hog it all as she got it on it too. I was hard in no time with two women sucking my cock, I don't think it even got soft. I yanked Molly up, spun her around, ripped her shorts and thong down and pushed in with one long stroke. Her mom got up and left, but we didn't notice. I had Molly on top of me, riding me when I saw her mom come in wearing a huge strapon. She put her finger to her lips for me to be quiet. I pushed Molly off me, rolled her over and shoved my dick into her ass, I heard her gasp from the sudden entry and from seeing her mom standing there with a huge cock between her legs. Her mom quickly knelt down and began to thrust into Molly. In a few strokes we had Molly screaming, she pushed her mom off her and I watched as she squirted pussy juice all over her mom's face. Molly's mom took the strapon off, and lowered her cum dripping ass over Molly's face, without a word Molly began to lick it up, as her mom began to suck my hard cock. I leaned over and whispered if she wanted to try what we did to Molly, she grinned real big and sucked harder. It didn't take long for me to cum, blasting ropes into her mouth, and onto her face and tits. When I was done she milked my cock and Molly pushed up to lick the cum off of her. I watched as she fitted the cock on Molly, instructing her on how to fuck her. Watching Molly fuck her mom with a huge cock I was hard again in minutes, I asked her where she wanted my cock, she said in her pussy so Molly switched to her ass and we began to double team her. She must have come two or three times before I got close again, as I announced my impending cum she and Molly got down on their knees, holding their chins up, each with a hand stroking my cock. I came all over their faces, when they had milked all my cum out they began to lick it off each others faces. I got up to get drinks and we all went into the living room and sat on the couch. Her mom got up to put up the strapon and when she came back she put in a tape. It turned out to be a really hot porno. Molly blushed, watching it with her mother, but soon was trying to hid playing with herself. As the movie got hotter so did we, before long I turned to Molly, grabbed her ankles and thrust into her, I was getting this way and before I was all the way in I hit a barrier. Molly gasped and seeing this her mom said I had hit her cervix. I replied I was going to fuck her daughters cervix. It was difficult with such a small hole, but I finally got the head in. When I pushed in she moaned and pulled me in deeper. The hole was tight, tighter than her ass even. Her mom grabbed a dildo she had brought back and began to fuck herself with it, watching her daughter get fucked hard. Molly was quickly building to a hard orgasm as I fucked her deep. Her mom put the dildo down and climbed on Molly's face. As Molly grabbed her ass and tongued her pussy I pulled and pinched her nipples. Before long Molly was cumming hard, screaming into her mom's pussy. As her pussy and cervix squeezed my cock. I came harder than both times before. My cock finally went soft and as I pulled out her mom leaned down and tried to suck the cum out of Molly's pussy. She didn't get much it was so deep. I told them I had to go home soon, but couldn't leave smelling like pussy, so we all got in the shower. As I was drying off Molly's mom got on her knees in front of me and began to blow me. Molly came out with a video camera and began to film it, when I was hard she got on her knees and elbows on the floor and I fucked her. Molly couldn't wait any more and told her mom to switch. I fucked pussy and ass hard but when I felt I was going to cum I told her. She turned around and began to blow me, I came in her mouth and on her face and tits. She swallowed and scooped more cum into her mouth before smiling at the camera and holding the last bit out to her mom. I took the camera as her mom licked it off her finger. I told them I really had to go and her mom promised me a copy of the tape on one condition, that there would be a chance for another.
Molly and I were going out to watch a movie, I picked her up and as we were driving to the theater she lifted up her skirt to show me she wasn't wearing any panties, instead she had a strapon reversed, with the cock in her pussy. She then told me this was a new one and hit a switch on the base and it started to vibrate. As we pulled into the parking lot Molly said she was close to cumming and to park in in the back. As I turned off my truck molly reached over and unbuttoned my shorts, pulled out my dick and climbed on top of me, hiking up her skirt as she did. She grabbed my dick, put the head at her asshole and dropped herself on it. She almost screamed when she did, but she started fucking me hard and fast, raising herself until only the tip was in and then dropping until she was filled. She came quickly, and when her ass started convulsing I came, shooting deep into her ass. When I finished, she reached into her purse, pulled out a rubber plug and pushed it into her ass, sealing my cum in. She turned to dildo to the lowest setting and fixed herself, then she licked my cock clean and we got out. We bought tickets for the movie and took our seats in the back row. She started playing with my cock as soon as we sat down. By the time the previews where over she had my dick out and was stroking it just enough to keep me hard. We sat like that throughout the movie. When the credits started rolling she leaned down and slipped her lips over my cockhead. The sensation of her hot wet mouth was enough to make me cum after all the stimulation. She swallowed all she could but some leaked out around the corners. She sat up and licked her lips, using her finger to push the cum around her chin into her mouth. When she was done she grinned and got up. I followed her out and as we walked through the parking lot she got her phone and called her mom, telling her everything we had done. I was surprised at this, but even more when she said her mom wanted me to come over. I drove her home, and when we went inside her mom greeted us wearing only a sheer teddy. She motioned us into the living room where I could see a video camera set up.

text: Introducing Abler: All Technology is Assistive TechnologySara Hendren11/20/13 4:14am145EditPromoteShare to KinjaGo to permalink Exoskeletons, 3D printed legs, robotic arms: There's plenty of press for these prosthetic technologies, and for good reason. They're innovative in a splashy way, and they're undeniable feats of engineering. But prosthetics include so much more: high-tech, low-tech, and high-low hybrid assistive and adaptive devices, accessible architecture, "universal" design, alternative infrastructural systems, and wearable augmentations—both analog and digital. Advertisement Technologies and tools that may be called "prosthetic" span a generative, flourishing research space now—and it's the province of artists and designers as much as engineers and programmers. What tools would be called "assistive," after all, can include far more than machines for mobile functionality or augmentation. There are Braille-friendly banjo tabs and garden spaces designed with the autism spectrum in mind. There's also an app that can tell you if you're talking too much, a beer glass for aging with dignity, and a smile device for when you need to fake it. Assistive devices, in other words, engage emotional and cultural needs as well as those for function. Design with ability and atypicality in mind may be about independence or interdependence; it may begin with a single user and go on to become a site of unexpected mainstream innovation. It may make use of nanotechnologies, but it might be in the form of simple textiles. Human needs, it turns out, come in every possible form—and human needfulness is a fundamentally shared trait of sociality. The devices people use to explore and address those needs will naturally be enigmatic, various, at times unexpected, and always interesting. Advertisement Just as eyeglasses have shed their medical identity and become wholly identified with fashion, other prosthetics are getting new design attention. Abler will cover these prosthetics getting more beautiful engineering and more beautiful design. But you'll also see the work of designers and engineers here that wouldn't necessarily, at first glance, be identified as "assistive technology." Making connections among such a wide range of devices and tools is the point here—to see unusual resonances, to welcome uncertainty about who's using which prosthetics for what. Abler proceeds from a broad claim that all technology is assistive technology. So you'll see lots of new and near-future prosthetics design on Abler. But you'll also see:Critical design. Plenty of prosthetic devices solve problems. But others investigate what counts as a "problem" in the first place. Whose bodies need "fixing," and why? What happens when designers reconsider the definition of "normal"? Whether you call it "design for debate" or "interrogative design," these are tools and technologies that raise and suspend the friction of questions, rather than rushing to the seamlessness of solutions. Sponsored Old and new devices. There are surprising connections between devices across widely differing historical and cultural contexts. The history of war, for example, reveals both incredible advances and deep ironies in the development and use of assistive technologies among veterans. A long perspective is a good one. Abler will talk to historians and anthropologists who can illuminate these technologies.Assistive technologies as culture. Abler is influenced by historian David Edgerton's call to pay attention not just to technological innovations because they're new, but to also pay attention to technologies in use to assess their importance. The day-to-day adoption and appropriation of technologies is where their real power lies. Assistive devices reveal all kinds of fascinating collisions with politics, material science, economic structures, and fashion, but also with accidental histories and contingent relationships. Advertisement What you won't see at Abler:No soft piano music, no "overcomer" stories. Too often, tech writers are so much in love with the conflict-and-resolution stories of prosthetics that the users of those devices become a simplified backdrop for a scripted, questionably emotional catharsis. No prosthetics users here will necessarily be "suffering from" their conditions. Abler is about assistive technologies without sentimentality. No breathless tech utopianisms. There will be plenty of celebration here about technical innovation. You will see us join sometimes in the holy-crap-they-built-WHAT?! conversation. But Abler values a measured skepticism about technological fixes for complex, sensing humans and their many tasks. Some new devices are truly groundbreaking; some are merely new. Abler is about welcoming the future with critical wits intact. Advertisement Abler is written and edited by Sara Hendren, with research assistance by Anna Raymond.

Check out these sweet Doctor Who cookies. They were made by some friends of tumblr user falsenostalgia-sundries and seeing them all laid out on that tray makes me think that this is an animated kid's special waiting to happen. I would tune in to watch these cookies go on adventures through space and time. I'd rather eat them though.
They look pretty delicious. I wonder if the taste matches the the Doctor. I bet William Hartnell's doctor tastes all stale and crusty, while Jon Pertwee is all flaky and smells funny. Christopher Eccleston's Doctor probably tastes bitter, while David Tennant has crazy flavor all over the place. I would probably prefer the Tom Baker Jelly Baby flavored version.

Yep. Asking refs to handle the issue of diving themselves is only compounding the problem.
Video technology needs to be implemented throughout the game. Just give every goal and potential red a quick look over. You'll reach a decision before players would stop celebrating the goal and before they stopped hounding the ref about the card. No time wasted.

Funny when Chelsea are involved in a game were decisions don't go in their favour, yet another refereeing career could be finished. No doubt they will want Clattenburg sacked, if the allegations are true, and rightly so.
Remember, they set a precedent when they sacked JT for doing the same thing. Oh, know wait you can't sack a multi millionaire prima donna.
10-30-2012 #29388
I wouldn't blame Javier Hernandez he's not that type of guy, it was the morons in the crowd.
Torres should of been sent off in first half for dangerous play he could of broken Cleverley's arm!!
Was a fair result in the end.20...
10-30-2012 #29389
Yeah. The Chelsea fans we're throwing objects at the United players after the goal. No wonder the players wanted to stick it to them.

Pogba scored the winner for Juventus tonight. Also provided the assist for their first goal. Why Fergie, WHY?
10-31-2012 #29391
Negative! Why Pogba, WHY?
10-31-2012 #29392
Ah, we were unlucky tonight. Chelsea's first team just beat our backup and youth players, proud of the kids tonight!
I hope people aren't critical of Wootton, him and Keane at the back up against Hazard, Mata and Oscar will be a tough test for the best defences in Europe.
Couldn't care less about Pogba, we got Powell who is showing great promise.
10-31-2012 #29393
It's a tough lesson for the kids but an important one. They played well over 90 minutes asking them to do much more would have been unfair.
Good news is Chelsea needed some of their best players to play, hopefully that's a negative factor for them in their next game.Other opinions are available.
11-01-2012 #29394
Great game to watch gutted we lost. Anderson played really well shame we only see it in patches.
Yeah Powell looked good when he came on.20...

Imagine contact lenses you pop in before going to bed at night and take out -- with clear vision -- in the morning. Sort of like a night brace for the eyes. About 20,000 people have been fitted with the new lenses, called Paragon CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy), since the Food & Drug Administration approved them last year for reshaping the cornea to correct mild to moderate myopia, or nearsightedness. Fitting the lenses and treating both eyes run $1,000 to $1,500, with an additional $300 to $500 in later years for replacement lenses. CRT is marketed as an alternative to Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, or LASIK, surgery that runs $3,000 to $5,000. And, unlike LASIK, there's no cutting.
Paragon Vision Sciences, a respected maker of the material used in rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, developed CRT. The lenses work by molding and flattening the cornea. The flatter cornea then focuses images farther back inside the eyeball, projecting them on the retina instead of in front of it, as is the case in nearsightedness. The lenses must be worn every night (or, for some patients, every second or third night) or the cornea reverts to its previous shape.
This constant corneal back and forth is one of the reasons some ophthalmologists, such as Ernest W. Kornmehl, a clinical instructor of ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, don't like the product. "I can't imagine it's a good thing if the cornea is purposely being flattened, then going back, and being flattened, then going back," he says. He worries that CRT could permanently damage the cornea and lead to infection from wearing these lenses at night. The FDA study found no problems. But Dr. Schachar Tauber, an ophthalmologist and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine, notes that the study followed wearers for only nine months. Plus, Dr. Kornmehl says CRT doesn't work for some wearers.
The folks at Paragon admit they would like longer-term results. But that's a shortcoming of all new treatments, they say. The same concerns could have been raised about regular contact lenses and LASIK in their infancy, says Joe Sicari, president and chief executive of Paragon. Also, by now, some patients have been wearing Paragon CRT lenses for 3 1/2 years, Sicari points out, and, "there have been no reports of abnormality in any way, shape, or form."
Reticence on the part of ophthalmologists dates to bad experiences with a precursor treatment called orthokeratology, says Dr. Lisa G. Wohl, one of only two ophthalmologists in the Chicago area listed on Paragon Vision Sciences' Web site (paragoncrt.com) as certified to fit CRT lenses. But that was before gas-permeable lens materials and sophisticated eye-mapping equipment.
Also, she adds, the turf war between ophthalmologists, who perform LASIK, and optometrists, who can fit contacts and CRT lenses, may add to doctors' reluctance. "To be honest," says Dr. Wohl, "if I hadn't needed this myself, I probably wouldn't have been as receptive."
Now, both she and her husband (who were poor candidates for LASIK) wear Paragon CRT lenses. She thinks they are safer than either soft contact lenses or LASIK.
Until more studies are in, patients will have to decide which they fear more: surgery or night lenses. Or they can learn to love their corneas just the way they are.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Torii Hunter hit a two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels boosted their wild-card chances by rallying past the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 5-4 Sunday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Hunter's double into the left-center gap came off Joe Nathan (3-5), who blew a save for only the third time in 39 chances this season.
The big hit by Hunter came right after Nathan struck out Mike Trout, who earlier in the game became the first major league rookie with 30 homers and 40 stolen bases in the same season.
Los Angeles (88-70) closed two games behind Oakland (90-68) for the AL's second wild card. The A's played at home later Sunday against Seattle.
Texas (92-66) saw its division lead over the A's cut to two games with four to play.
With the loss, the Rangers won't have an opportunity at home to clinch their third consecutive AL West title. They close the regular season in a three-game series at Oakland that starts Monday. The Rangers would assure a playoff berth with a victory against the Angels on Sunday night.
Los Angeles trailed 4-3 in the ninth before a one-out single by Maicer Izturis, retired on a reversed call two innings earlier. Nathan walked Chris Iannetta, Trout struck out and Hunter, who lives in nearby Prosper, hit a drive that rolled to the wall.
Garrett Richards (4-3) retired Nelson Cruz with two runners on in the eighth, and Ernesto Frieri pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save in 26 chances.
That wasn't what the Orioles and their fans wanted to see while watching the Rangers game on the scoreboard in center field in Baltimore. An Angels' loss would have clinched the Orioles' first postseason berth since 1997.
Left-hander Derek Holland (11-6) was set to pitch the nightcap for Texas against right-hander Ervin Santana (9-12). That was the scheduled matchup for Saturday's game, which was called off four hours after its scheduled start because of rain.
Yu Darvish struck out seven in 6 2-3 innings but came out after Trout's homer, which trimmed the lead to 4-3, and Hunter followed with a double off Alexi Ogando.
Ogando induced an inning-ending grounder on a full-count pitch to Albert Pujols, who already had two singles. With primary setup man Mike Adams injured, Ogando stayed on for the eighth.
Cruz hit his 24th homer for Texas, a two-run shot in the second, an inning after the right fielder threw out Trout on the bases.
Trout started the game with a walk and quickly got his 48th stolen base. His 30th homer, a solo shot to straightaway center, came on the first pitch Darvish threw him in the seventh.
After the stolen base in the first, Trout tried to advance on Hunter's flyball to right. But Cruz threw a one-hop strike to third baseman Adrian Beltre to retiret Trout, who slid head-first into the same side of the base where Beltre was.
Izturis led off the seventh with a weakly hit ball that dropped between the mound and first base. Mitch Moreland fielded the ball, and tossed to Darvish, who made the catch, tagged the base and showed the ball to umpire Mark Wegner, who signaled safe.
Manager Ron Washington came out of the dugout to argue, but umpires huddled and called Izturis out, bringing out Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Two batters later, Trout homered.
Trout had the first of three consecutive two-out singles in the third and scored on Pujols' hit.
Elvis Andrus drew a two-out walk in the third and scored on Josh Hamilton's single that snapped the slugger's 0-for-17 career mark against Zack Greinke. Beltre hit a popup to shallow right field that Hunter never saw, and it dropped for an RBI double and a 4-1 lead.
NOTES: The 21-year-old Trout is the youngest player with a 30-30 season. He needs two stolen bases to become only the third player ever with 30 homers and 50 stolen bases. The others? Eric Davis (1987) and Barry Bonds (1990). … Beltre made an incredible defensive play starting the eighth, diving to his right for a back-handed stab. He got up, barely pivoting his feet while making a quick sidearm throw that got Kendry Morales out at first. … Hamilton, who struck out three times, has 126 RBIs. … There were no weather issues Sunday for the first-ever split doubleheader at Rangers Ballpark.

It is anticipated that News Corporation (NASDAQ:NWS) will announce during the week that it will purchase a 49 percent interest in the YES Network from the New York Yankees and its partners. Such a transaction could value the Network at $3 billion, according to an inside source to Reuters. The move was designed to permit News Corp to ultimately buy control of the channel which broadcasts Yankees baseball and Brooklyn Nets basketball to some 15 million subscribers. Meanwhile, the current deal will enable te company to share in the profits, says The New York Times, which first supplied the particulars. Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS) and Providence Equity own 40 percent.

Lest it depict a Los Angeles in which (the horror!) no women exist, NBC's 'Law & Order: LA' spin-off has cast its first female roles – and just in the nick of time, since filming on the series starts Monday.
Joining Skeet Ulrich, Alfred Molina, Terrence Howard and Corey Stoll on 'LOLA' will be Regina Hall ('Ally McBeal') and Wanda De Jesús ('CSI: Miami').
'Law & Order' Is 'History,' Wolf Moves On to 'L.A.' Spin-Off
Hall will fill the role of Deputy DA Eva Price, "a gorgeous and brainy bombshell with a strong sense of moral rectitude," Deadline.com reports.
De Jesus meanwhile will play Arleen Gonzales, the "cool and authoritative" captain of the Robbery Homicide Division, says EW.com.
Terrence Howard to Join 'Law & Order: Los Angeles'
Because of the slight delay in rounding out the cast – until recently, Ulrich was the only one on board – 'LOLA's premiere date was pushed back to Wednesday, September 29, where it will lead out of 'SVU.'
Alfred Molina to Join New 'Law & Order' Series

Album review: Barbra Streisand's 'Release Me'
October 26th, 2012, 6:00 am by BEN WENER, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER• Barbra Streisand, Release Me (Columbia) – Revelations abound amid this assortment of unreleased vault nuggets, the first installment in a series I suspect could span several fascinating volumes before scraping the bottom of the barrel (the liner notes at least promise a second set).
Her voice, we well know, is simply astonishing, pure and warm and soaring and, at its very best, emotionally commanding in a way maybe two or three other female vocalists have ever been. Yet, perfectionist that she is, her studio sides, especially from the '80s forward, often sound needlessly fussed over, robbed of palpable passion to match her meticulousness – sometimes to the point that the general adult pop fan who isn't so easily swayed by swelling strings can be left to drown in syrup, instead of getting spellbound by Streisand's incomparable singing.
What's so rich about these captured moments, seamlessly spanning from marvelously intimate late-'60s sessions to outtakes from aborted '70s projects and her 1985 smash The Broadway Album, is how masterful she sounds in such relatively naked form. Yes, there's a great deal of polished production within, whether in the Bacharachian sumptuousness of Jimmy Webb's "Didn't We" (March 1970) or the stunning powerhouse "Being Good Isn't Good Enough" (August 1985), originally aimed at opening Broadway. But even in her most highly cultivated turns, you can sense the real Streisand in the studio, so vivid you can practically picture her at the microphone. (The occasional bits of pre- and post-performance chatter, while cute, actually add to the overall ambiance.)
You forget how lushly effective she can be at jazzy refrains until you hear her rise to the wildly spiky melodic challenge of the Jobim gem "Lost in Wonderland" (April 1968), which she conveys like Astrud Gilberto with chops, or her enveloping reading of the Gershwin-inspired standard "Willow Weep for Me" (March 1967), throughout which you're reminded how she seemed to emerge from the Great White Way a fully formed vocalist capable of holding her own next to Ella or Sarah or Billie.
Then there's her take on Larry Gatlin's "Try to Win a Friend," her go-to song while learning guitar for A Star Is Born. It's a nuanced gem that Carrie Underwood, the nearest thing to an effortless force that millennials have uncovered, should study it as an example of how to contour a ballad away from the overblown norm.

yes it was a fantastic night and i am going to miss you have fun keep in touch
My big tour of the UK!
Trip Start
Aug 08, 2011
Trip End
Jul 22, 2013
A big congratulations to Lindsey and Sal who celebrated their Civil Partnership on the 29th! It was a beautiful day and the Lord of the Rings theme was great fun! Extremely impressed at some peoples fancy dress efforts - espeicallly the tree and the guy who knitted his own chain mail out of aluminium rings! My own elf ears were perhaps less successful - it turns out I have 1 ear smaller than the other! (But so does Andrew so perhaps its genetic?!)
Congratulations also goes out to my Grandad who celebrated his 80th with a meal on sunday (Sunderland being the next leg of my mammoth UK tour!) It was great to get all the family together which came as a surprise for my Grandad who was not aware that extended family such as his neices and nephews he had not seen for many years would be there! It was also fantastic to spend time with my cousins children who are adorable and growing up so fast! Its a shame to think they will have changed so much by the time we're back from oz!
So all in all my manic 5 day tour was great fun and a fantastic opportunity to say my goodbyes to both sides of my family! So now for a rest before flying to oz right...?! Well not quite! I have 3 days to finish off the last minute jobs then its off on another roadtrip to Bristol and then Somerset for the much anticipated wedding of Amy and Gav! I'll be arriving back in Monmouth sunday afternoon and leaving that evening. Well atleast there's no doubting I'll be sleeping on the flight out! Wyn is now back in North Wales with family for this next week and we wont be meeting up again until we fly! Can't believe it is all coming round so quickly!

Oceans campaigner Karli Thomas gets served a plate of jellyfish as Greenpeace launches a report into New Zealand's commercial fisheries and seafood sector. Titled While Stocks Last, Supermarkets and the Future of Seafood it warns commercial fishing is depleting fish stocks and damaging the marine environment and says supermarkets need to play a key role in creating a truly sustainable industry. The report was launched in Auckland from the the Jellyfish du Jour Cafe, set up for the occasion in QE11 Square. The cafe offered three dishes, derived from jellyfish, highlighting this may be the only marine species left in years to come. The CEOs from New Zealand's two major grocery retailers, Foodstuffs and Progressive Enterprises, were invited to lunch with Greenpeace oceans campaigner Karli Thomas but neither attended.
