The Ohio State University: Environmental Regulations Invoked to Censor Peaceful Flyer Distribution
December 13, 2011
On November 30 and December 6, 2011, students were prevented from peacefully distributing flyers in OSU's Ohio Union building. The same Ohio Union administrator on both occasions told the students that OSU's "green zone" environmental policy prohibited distributing paper materials. On the second occasion, the administrator additionally cited the building's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, and told the students that if she allowed them to distribute their flyers, she would have to grant the same privilege to all other OSU student organizations. FIRE informed OSU that the "green zone" designation did not reflect actual OSU policy and […]» Read More
The Ohio State University: Refusal to Allow Religious Clubs to Decide Membership Based on Religious Belief
October 20, 2004
A coalition of religious groups, including the Muslim Student Association, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, the Christian Graduate Student Alliance, Campus Crusade for Christ, Mosaic, Reformed Christian Students, the Christian Medical Dental Association, Student Christian Fellowship, and International Friendships, used religious criteria for decisions regarding group leadership, group message, and, sometimes, group membership at the Ohio State University. Ohio State's official recognition policy had stated that in order for groups to receive full recognition from the university, they could not "discriminate" on the basis of religion. FIRE wrote to Ohio State President Karen A. Holbrook, pointing out that as a public institution, […]» Read More

Speech Code Category: Policies on Bias and Hate Speech
Last updated: July 12, 2018
Bias incidents are acts or behaviors motivated by the offender's bias against age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
While these acts do not necessarily rise to the level of a crime, a violation of state law, university policy, or the Student Code of Conduct, a bias act may contribute to creating an unsafe, negative, or unwelcome environment for the victim; anyone who shares the same social identity as the victim; and/or, community members of the University…

Ten Colleges And Universities Where Free Speech is in Danger
June 20, 2016
By Kelly McDonald at The Daily Caller These popular schools all have one thing in common: they use vaguely-worded policies to prevent the free exchange of ideas, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). Below are ten colleges and universities that FIRE has designated "red light" schools. "A red light university has at least one policy that both clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech," FIRE explains… Read more here.» Read More

Students Say Colleges Should Let Them Judge Sexual Assault Cases
February 25, 2015
By Akane Otani at Bloomberg Business Student leaders at 76 U.S. universities are fighting the government for the right to sit on the panels that decide if someone has committed sexual assault on campus. The Department of Education has recommended that students not be involved in this process, but student body presidents at schools across 25 states, including Yale, Brown, and Barnard, say that allowing undergraduates in the room when cases are being decided is fairer for everyone involved. "Students have a modern perspective on sexual assault and campus life that, unfortunately, faculty and staff might not have," says Celia Wright, […]» Read More
Rush Limbaugh Has Become a Key Asset for the Politically-Correct Left
September 17, 2014
Hans Bader at Examiner.com Rush Limbaugh can take a winning issue for conservatives and turn it into a loser just by shooting his mouth off. He gives advocates of extreme left-wing policies ammunition for their views by making stupid arguments when smarter arguments exist, and by lacing his arguments with sexism or scurrilous remarks. He did it recently in response to my commentary about Ohio State University's ridiculously overbroad and intrusive "sexual assault" definition — which seemingly requires students to agree on "why" they are having sex or making out, which is none of the university's business. And he did it […]» Read More
American Universities Are Restricting an Important Right — And Students Are Fighting Back
July 2, 2014
By Jenna Kagel at News.Mic A free speech crackdown in modern day America: We expect to hear stories on repressing freedom of speech in countries like Russia, not in the U.S. But right here in the land of the free, American universities, the pillars of protest movements and open dialogue, are suppressing free speech. In response, the first-ever coordinated legal battle against U.S. universities was filed on Tuesday in four states as part of the "Stand Up for Speech" litigation project. Three-fifths of public colleges violate the First Amendment by imposing free speech policies on their campuses. American universities are banning […]» Read More
Groups says OSU restricts freedom of speech
March 5, 2014
by Collin Binkley at The Columbus Dispatch A poster warning against sexual harassment at Ohio State University led a national group to conclude that the school "substantially restricts freedom of speech." In an annual ratings publication by the group Fire, which works to protect freedom of speech on campuses, Ohio State was one of 10 schools in the state that earned a "red light" for having at least one policy that limits freedom of speech. Only one Ohio school, Cleveland State University, earned a "green light." The group dinged Ohio State for a poster by the human-resources office at the school.

Ohio State's on FIRE
January 22, 2009
By Debbie Bitzan at The Sentinel As the largest university in the nation, one could only hope that The Ohio State University would be an open canvas for academic and intellectual exchange, as well as a free zone for sharing opinions, ideas, and values. However, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), Ohio State is preventing such an open environment from existing. According to its website, TheFIRE.org, FIRE works to "defend and sustain individual rights at America's colleges and universities." Some of the rights mentioned are freedom of speech, due process, and legal equality, "the essential qualities […]» Read More
Do campus tribunals wield too much power?
March 13, 2006
By John Higgins at The Beacon Journal A Summit County jury found Charles Plinton not guilty of selling drugs to a confidential informant in 2004. A few weeks later, a University of Akron disciplinary board found him "responsible" for "selling drugs to a confidential informant." The difference between those two words — guilty and responsible — may not sound meaningful to the average person. But it's a distinction that begins to explain the secretive world of college justice in which campus committees may re-try the facts of serious crimes after criminal courts have already decided them. Critics see the hearings […]» Read More
Campus Left to Christians, Conservatives: Shut Up!
December 24, 2005
By Mark Tapscott at Townhall.com Scratch many of the administrators in charge on American campuses these days and you often find a neo-Stalinist who has no hesitation about suppressing views that deviate from leftist orthodoxy. If you doubt me, try supporting Christianity or conservatism in a public way in the ivy covered groves of American academe. Take California State University at San Bernadino, for example, where administrators refuse to charter the Christian Students Association because the group thinks its members should be professing Christians. Imagine that! The group 'would not be required to admit members who did not support the […]» Read More
Students Find Drug Law Has Big Price: College Aid
May 3, 2001
By Diana Schemo at The New York Times Correction Appended WASHINGTON, May 2— When a judge pronounced Russell Selkirk guilty of smoking marijuana in a car in December 1999, Mr. Selkirk, a freshman at Ohio State University, thought he left the courtroom knowing his sentence: a $250 fine, suspension of his driver's license, 20 hours of community service and a year's probation. But a month later, when Mr. Selkirk applied for financial aid for the coming academic year, he faced another sentence, loss of eligibility for low-interest federal education loans and grants.

On Free Speech, Double Standards, and Professor Mike Adams
December 2, 2016
Mike Adams, a professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW), is no stranger to controversy. In 2014, Adams won a First Amendment lawsuit alleging that UNCW retaliated against him for his public expression of conservative views. Now, Adams once again finds himself at the center of a debate over the boundaries of free speech—but this time the university appears to be squarely on the side of free speech, and will hopefully stay that way. In September, Adams published an article harshly criticizing a UNCW student who received a visit from the Secret Service after she posted on Facebook […]» Read More
More Campus Leaders Address Free Speech Following Election
November 21, 2016
For the past few months, we've been covering the statements campus leaders make about free speech at their colleges or universities. In the weeks following this month's presidential election, campus leaders have addressed their students' reactions to the results in various ways—some "good," and others "bad" for freedom of expression. The Good Central Washington University (CWU) CWU President James Gaudino made a post-election statement November 9 encouraging his students to continue to "debate and disagree": President Obama today encouraged us all to move forward with faith in our fellow citizens and urged us all to hold on to our dreams.

Administrators Defend Bias Response Teams, But Shy Away From Transparency
September 15, 2016
On Monday, Inside Higher Ed published a lengthy defense of "bias response teams"—teams largely composed of administrators and law enforcement who direct a university's response to reports of offensive language or conduct, usually (but not always) under the guise of educating the offending speakers about the impact of their speech. But the same administrators are unwilling to back up their claims, declining to provide details about how they respond to particular incidents.

Due Process Legal Update: Students' Title IX and Due Process Claims Move Forward, But Challenges Remain
March 1, 2016
As I've written about on many previous occasions, there are a large number of ongoing lawsuits by students alleging that through unfair campus sexual misconduct proceedings, their institutions violated their constitutional due process rights, breached contracts, and discriminated against them on the basis of sex. In the past eight days alone, there have been four new opinions issued in cases at Brown University, Cornell University, George Mason University, and The Ohio State University, and all but one of those decisions had favorable results for due process and fair procedure on campus. Notably, two of the favorable opinions come from lawsuits […]» Read More
Public Universities Threaten Students Over Controversial Off-Campus Banners
August 25, 2015
Public universities must tolerate students' off-campus speech even when it offends some, or most, of the student body. Recent incidents at Old Dominion University (ODU) and The Ohio State University (OSU) serve as reminders that this is not always what happens. At both universities, students adorned their off-campus residences with signs offering a less than wholesome welcome to new and returning students. The banners at ODU read, "Rowdy and fun – Hope your baby girl is ready for a good time," "Freshman daughter drop off," and "Go ahead and drop mom off too." Signs at an OSU apartment, which were […]» Read More
Due Process Advocates Take Critical Look at How Colleges Are Dealing with Sexual Assault Allegations
September 15, 2014
With colleges and universities revising their sexual assault policies for the new academic year and legislation on the horizon that could have serious repercussions for campus due process, it is critically important for policymakers to stay committed to protecting the rights of all students. Advocates for due process are stepping up to ensure that as new rules for dealing with campus sexual assault are crafted, key legal principles are not forgotten. To start, higher ed attorney and former college administrator Gary Pavela reminds readers of The Chronicle of Higher Education today that "'[d]ue process' is more than a procedural checklist"—it requires […]» Read More
The Ohio State University Gets The Law Wrong on FERPA
November 28, 2012
The Student Press Law Center's (SPLC's) "FERPA Fact" Tumblr is at once humorous and disturbing. It awards a number of Secretary of Education Arne Duncan heads corresponding to the silliness of a university's misuse of the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to deny a request for information. FERPA is routinely abused by colleges looking for any justification to avoid releasing embarrassing information. You don't need to take our word for it: this is the view of the man who wrote the law. This week's "FERPA fact" gets three Arne Duncans, which would cause me to crack a smile […]» Read More
Student Newspaper Criticizes University Abuses of FERPA
June 1, 2009
An opinion piece published today in The Lantern, a student newspaper at The Ohio State University, decries the tendency on the part of colleges and universities to misuse and abuse the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). The editorial draws upon a recent report in The Columbus Dispatch, which has also been highlighted in The Chronicle of Higher Education. FERPA was enacted to provide students with confidentiality in their educational records, including student disciplinary records, and to provide students and their parents with access to those records. It is meant to ensure that a student's educational records […]» Read More

Unconstitutional 'Bias Reporting' Programs: A Nationwide Problem
November 29, 2007
This fall, The College of William & Mary launched a Bias Incident Reporting System "to assist members of the William and Mary community—students, staff, and faculty—in bringing bias incidents to the College's attention." In its initial incarnation, the system was fraught with constitutional problems, from both free speech and due process standpoints. The system initially allowed for anonymous reporting, providing that "[a] person reporting online may report anonymously by leaving the personal information fields blank." The definition of "bias" was overbroad and encompassed constitutionally protected expression: "A bias incident consists of harassment, intimidation, or other hostile behavior that is directed […]» Read More

A PBK spokesperson has claimed that "for 225 years we have endeavored to place our chapters only at those American institutions of higher education that share our commitment to freedom of inquiry." But as FIRE's letter pointed out, PBK offers membership to a host of institutions that have speech codes that are unconstitutional and have a chilling effect on campus speech.

Religious Liberty and Free Association at LSU: Not a 'Conservative' Concern
March 17, 2005
Today, FIRE announces a victory for freedom of religion and association at Louisiana State University, where the Muslim Students Association (MSA) recently attained official recognition. The group, which had already been recognized for 30 some years on campus, was unable to re-register for more than a year because it didn't want to include additional "nondiscrimination" language in its constitution as prescribed by a new university policy. (See "Is 'Derecognize' a Word?" for more information about the significance of student organization recognition on campus.) According to students, in 2003 the university began requiring student organizations to explicitly add "religion" and "sexual […]» Read More
Victory for Religious Freedom at Ohio State
October 4, 2004
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 4, 2004—The Ohio State University has agreed to change a "nondiscrimination" policy that prohibited religious student organizations from making critical decisions based on religious criteria. The decision came a few weeks after the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) wrote to Ohio State on behalf of a broad interfaith coalition of Muslim and Christian student organizations that felt that the policy interfered with the First Amendment's guarantees of religious freedom and free association. FIRE's effort coincided with that of the Christian Legal Society (CLS), which had already filed a lawsuit asserting the same claims against Ohio […]» Read More

A registered sex offender offering her services as a dominatrix in Connecticut is facing prison time after allegedly extorting a Westchester County man looking to take advantage of her services.
Waterbury resident Faith Ann Ward, 35, was charged following a lengthy investigation dating back to last year after a man from Mount Kisco complained that she allegedly forced him to send her additional money, threatening to out him, according to a rep-am.com report .
Ward was forced to register a sex offender in Connecticut after moving following a conviction of attempted lewd act on a child in South Carolina in October 2000. Her last known address was an apartment in Waterbury.
Ward came into contact with the unidentified Mount Kisco man after she posted an ad on backpage.com - a service similar to Craigslist - describing herself as "black, dominant, ruthless and plus size," Connecticut State Police said. The man allegedly paid her hundreds of dollars to perform various acts, but Ward recorded him in the process, threatening to expose the footage on the Internet to his wife, friends and family.
According to the report , the two negotiated payments of more than $5,000 in gifts, which the man paid, but Ward still exposed him to his wife. During the subsequent police investigation, Ward was recorded confirming the deals of the extortion over the phone. Videos of the man engaged in sex with Ward, rubbing her feet and cleaning her oven were also recovered.
Ward was arrested and charged with second-degree larceny, voyeurism with malice and disseminating voyeuristic materials. She is being held in jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.

Marois tells Americans she hopes Quebec will be sovereign one day
Pauline Marois, premier of Quebec, delivers the keynote address at the Foriegn Policy Association luncheon in New York on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012. (AP / Bebeto Matthews)
The Canadian Press
Published Friday, December 14, 2012 8:10AM EST
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Pauline Marois, in her first U.S. speech since becoming premier, said Quebec is open for business and that she hopes it will one day be operating as a sovereign country.
She said her speech to the Foreign Policy Association, which focused mostly on economic issues while making a reference to independence, was in line with previous interventions by sovereigntist premiers.
"As you know, I hope that one day the people of Quebec will one day be a part of the concert of nations," she told the audience.
"This is an internal debate. This will happen when Quebecers are ready."
Quebec sovereignty would not change the borders or the province's relationship with the United States, she told her audience of about 300 business people who paid $150 each to hear her.
It was not her first foreign trip since taking office in September: Marois had already attended a Francophonie summit in Congo and stopped by France on the way home.
But this appearance represented a unique challenge for Marois. While in opposition, she had taken some ribbing for the quality of her English and there had been speculation in Quebec media about how she would fare on trips like these. She made it through Thursday's speech, in English.
Federalist Liberal premier Jean Charest had talked to the same group a year ago
Like her predecessor, Marois insisted there were plenty of business opportunities and she emphasized the different measures and tax credits that are available. She promoted her plan to offer a 10-year tax holiday for companies that set up major operations in Quebec.
While she had been deeply critical of Charest's Plan Nord before taking office, she was touting the merits of Quebec's northern-development project Thursday. Marois said she is interested in exploiting the remote region but is reviewing details of the Liberal plan.
Marois told a news conference that her government is examining the royalties paid by companies that will mine the area's resources. Her government has also trimmed down the size of a planned publicly funded road in the north, to one lane.
"There will be different requirements than the previous government had," she said. "But these requirements will still be reasonable because we want to continue to develop the north."
Marois said she is keen on developing trade with the U.S., which receives 70 per cent of the province's exports.
She said she wants to deepen economic ties with the U.S., in particular New York State.
Earlier in the day, Marois opened a new government office to help small Quebec businesses that want to get into foreign markets.
Marois said New York is the logical place for the first of a planned 14 such offices around the world.
"New York is the financial capital," she said.

Beltran, Sox scout Perez take different paths to Series
ST. LOUIS -- The moment was not lost on Carlos Beltran.
It was a few minutes before the start of the bottom of the second inning in Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night, and the outfielder stared into the sea of people standing in center field's Section 35 as he jogged to his position in right field.View Full Game Coverage
ST. LOUIS -- The moment was not lost on Carlos Beltran.
It was a few minutes before the start of the bottom of the second inning in Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night, and the outfielder stared into the sea of people standing in center field's Section 35 as he jogged to his position in right field.View Full Game Coverage
Public-address announcer Henry Mahegan, the voice of Fenway Park, was recognizing the team's scouts, player-development staff and Minor League coaches in between innings, and Beltran knew his childhood friend Edgar Perez was among those being applauded by the 38,000 fans.
Then, it happened.
"Carlos is looking up at us. I get to the side where he can see me, and he just gives me a wave and a nod," said Perez, who has been a scout for 16 years. "It was a special moment. Here we are, two kids from little Manati, Puerto Rico, and we're at the World Series together at the same time. I'll never forget it."
Beltran and Perez grew up no more than a mile apart in the small Puerto Rican municipality on the island's northern coast. For nearly a decade, they were teammates for Barrio Boquillas' Little League teams. Their positions have changed over the years -- Beltran was once a shortstop and Perez was the team's catcher -- and they have taken different paths to get to the World Series. Baseball, they agree, reigns in Puerto Rico, but there's more than one way to make it to the big leagues.
"We were two young boys that had a dream to make it to the big leagues one day, and we did it," Beltran said. "He made it as a scout and I made it as a player. I hope kids see us and see that you can be a player, a scout, front-office [staff] or use other avenues in this sport. Baseball can change your life."
About 45,000 people live in Manati, and the city's ties to Major League Baseball run deep. Former Major Leaguers Tony Valentin and his brother Javier Valentin are among the most famous players from the city. San Diego's Raymond Fuentes, who was signed by Perez with the Red Sox, is among the most recent prospects. Numerous Minor Leaguers also hail from the area.
Like Beltran and Perez, they all started out in the local Little League.
"Carlos was not very big from ages 7-12, and he was always one of the smallest guys, but he was always very athletic," Perez recalled from Fenway Park. "Honestly, he was not the best player at that age, but he grew into his body around 16 or 17 and just took off to become a great player. Now look at him."
Beltran was selected by the Royals in the second round of the 1995 First-Year Player Draft, and he is a few years away from wrapping up a career that one day could land him in the Hall of Fame. Perez, who graduated high school one year before Beltran, went on to play for two years at West Valley College in Northern California before joining Cleveland as a scout.
Perez spent eight years with the Indians and then joined the Red Sox, primarily scouting Puerto Rico, starting in 2007.
"We both represent our culture, our town where we are from, and we are very proud of that," Beltran said. "You can make your dreams come true in this sport. That's something I want the kids to know. That's something I tell the kids at my academy."
The Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy officially opened on Aug. 24, 2011, but it had been the outfielder's dream for years. Located on 20 acres near Puerto Rico's Highway 22 -- and just off Avenida Heriberto Gonzalez Velez in the municipality of Florida -- the academy's goal is to provide a place for young players grades 10-12 to develop their baseball skills and achieve academic excellence. The academy's first class graduated this summer and two players -- including Joseph Monge, who was signed by Perez for the Red Sox -- were selected in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.
Overall, 19 players with ties to Puerto Rico, including six players from the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, were picked in the last Draft. In 2012, Houston's Carlos Correa made history as the first Puerto Rican player selected with the first overall pick.
This season's Opening Day rosters featured 13 Puerto Ricans.
"There are a lot of good Puerto Rican players who had good seasons in the Minor Leagues and have good projections for the future," said Perez, who volunteers at the academy. "I believe in the next four of five years, the numbers will be a lot better. And I think the Beltran Academy and staff will have a lot to do with that, because he is pushing hard to develop guys. You see Carlos on the field now, but once the season is over, he is at work every day trying to get kids to the next level and showing them they can have a career in baseball."
Baseball fans on the island can look no further than the World Series to see the opportunities baseball can offer. In addition to Beltran and Perez, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and third-base coach Jose Oquendo are from Puerto Rico. Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves and assistant hitting coach Victor Rodriguez are also from the island. Victor Rodriguez Jr. is an international scout for Boston in the Dominican Republic.
"Really, it's good for Puerto Rico if either team wins," Molina said. "It's important that people at home can see all of the players and coaches here and know it's possible to do that. We have really talented players and baseball people there. We just need some help finding them."
There is no denying that there is still work to be done on the island. But in the meantime, there are more World Series games to be played.
"I wouldn't believe it if you would have told me 20 years ago that Carlos and I would be in this position right now," Perez said. "We have worked really hard for this moment, and the Cardinals have worked really hard for this moment. We all want to win. I just hope it's us. Sorry, Carlos."

Let's live for today: Royals want to win now

The Royals very well might have traded baseball's next superstar when they sent Wil Myers to Tampa Bay.
And yet you can't exactly say they made a bad trade.View Full Game Coverage
Such complexity is the essence of life itself and certainly of the blockbuster baseball transaction. Because at surface level, Myers is a stud a long way from free agency, and you could envision a scenario in which Royals fans spend the rest of time ruing the day he became a Ray.
But if the Royals reach the pay dirt of the postseason with James Shields as their steady rotation anchor, all that angst will have been well worth it.
No matter what you thought about the Myers trade -- and plenty of people inside and outside the baseball industry had plenty to say about it last December -- you had to respect that the Royals, for the first time in what felt like forever, were firmly focused on the here and now.
Yes, general manager Dayton Moore and his staff knew Myers could blossom into something special. And if the results thus far in what could be a Rookie of the Year campaign for Myers are any indication, he's well on his way.
But Moore also knew that the road to respectability begins with stellar starting pitching. Given the constraints of a weak free-agent market, he identified Shields, a known trade candidate, as a must-have starting point for their starting staff, and he acted accordingly and aggressively.
Some people accused Moore, who, like Shields, is under contract through 2014, of making the trade simply to save his job. He was insulted by the insinuation, and rightfully so. Moore, after all, had been on the job six full seasons after 2012, and the Royals had averaged 92 losses in that span.
At some point, the pleas for patience wear thin. At some point, the boasts that you've assembled the best farm system in baseball ring hollow.
At some point, it's time to win.
So Moore bit the bullet and traded arguably the top hitting prospect in baseball in Myers, arguably the Royals' best pitching prospect in Jake Odorizzi, as well as Mike Montgomery and Patrick Leonard -- all of whom are under contractual control for at least six years -- for two years of Shields and up to five years of Wade Davis.
It was daring, to say the least, especially when it came to moving Myers.
Baseball, after all, is in the midst of a pitching renaissance in which young power bats are in scarce supply, and Myers, with 37 homers combined at the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2012, was knocking on the door of the big leagues.
It will be years before we can safely say whether all those glowing scouting reports about Myers' big league potential are proven correct, but suffice to say it appears they were on the right track. At the time they promoted Myers from Triple-A on June 17, the Rays had the fourth-highest runs-per-game average in the AL, so they didn't need him to carry the offensive load. Yet that's precisely what he's done, leading the club in OPS and RBI since his arrival. He's been a major factor in an enthralling AL East race, and he's one of those rare young players with the ability to hit for both average and power.
Myers is the kind of deportee who can torture a team and its fan base. And maybe some segment of the Royals' fan base pores over the Rays' daily box scores and feels routinely tortured.
Yet it's hard to let that feeling linger too long when your own team has inserted itself into the thick of the postseason chase, as the Royals have.
The Royals just lost two straight to the Marlins, but they enter a pivotal five-game series in Detroit having won 19 of their last 26 to pull within 4 1/2 games of a Wild Card slot. There is no magic formula to what they've done. They've simply taken better advantage of what has been an elite rotation all season long. And Shields is a primary reason why that rotation has been elite.
Shields not only helped instill a new attitude in the Royals' clubhouse from the day he set foot on their Spring Training complex but also backed it up on the mound. Don't let the subpar 7-8 record fool you. Shields, who will get the starting nod opposite Justin Verlander in the first game of a Friday doubleheader, has given his new club both the innings (an average of 6 2/3 per start) and the impact (an adjusted ERA 23 percent better than the average starter, according to Baseball Reference) the Royals anticipated.
The Royals simply didn't know what to anticipate from Ervin Santana, acquired in an early winter swap with the Angels, so they viewed Shields as a bankable commodity. He's been just that, and Santana (8-6, 3.19 ERA) has put together a commendable comeback campaign. Put them together, and the Royals have a dangerous combo atop their rotation for a potential postseason scenario.
If blessed with a crystal ball, maybe the Royals would have simply signed Francisco Liriano, paired him with Santana, and assembled a potent 1-2 punch without moving Myers. But if you knew both of those guys would pan out the way they have, you're smarter than me and probably smarter than Moore, too. Congrats.
Here in the real world, you've got to give up something to get something, and there is no question the Royals gave up a ton in the Shields deal. I was one of the many who were skeptical about that swap, but I also understand that the Royals were tired of waiting on tomorrows.
Right now, it looks like a trade that has benefited the Royals, even as Myers mashes elsewhere. And if a Shields-led rotation pushes the Royals onto the postseason stage for the first time since 1985 (five years before Myers was even born), waking up a long-slumbering and long-suffering fan base in the process, swapping out a superstar just might have been worth it.

Dutchmen to Debut Front-Lounge Komfort Fiver
November 22, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Dutchmen to Debut Front-Lounge Komfort Fiver
Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc. will introduce a new Komfort fifth-wheel featuring a front lounge configuration during the Nov. 29-Dec. 1 National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky.
According to a press release, key features in the upper deck of the 3650FFL include 6-foot, 8-inch ceiling height, two sliderooms that are six inches taller than traditional extensions and an entertainment center with a fireplace. "This is an expansive living area that you have to see to believe," said Rob Groover, general manager for Dutchmen's Komfort and Infinity brands.
The unit also offers a standard 12-cubic-foot side-by-side refrigerator, hardwood cabinetry throughout, a king bed and nearly four times the exterior storage versus competitive models.
"A lot of potential buyers have always wanted a front lounge floor plan," said Groover. "However, they just couldn't or didn't want to spend the amount of money that these floorplans usually dictate. The 3650FFL is the most aggressively priced five-slide, front lounge floorplan in the industry. This opens up a whole new opportunity for our customers to enjoy all of the advantages of a front lounge without breaking the bank."
The new fifth-wheel will be shown at the Dutchmen display in Booth No. 1001 at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC). Dutchmen, based in Goshen, Ind., is a division of Thor Industries Inc.

I'm thankful for BA ... use it most every day.

Difference between revisions of "Dalat"
Revision as of 07:42, 23 October 2011
Dalat, also Da Lat (Đà Lạt), located in the South Central Highlands of Vietnam, was originally the playground of the French who built villas in the clear mountain air to escape the heat and humidity of the coast and of Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City.
Dalat looks like a cross between Vietnam and the French Alps. Many of its hotels and houses are built in a European/ French style. The city spreads across a series of pine-covered hills, with a small lake in the center and surrounded by a man made lake and higher peaks, making for some lovely scenery quite different from the rest of Vietnam. Temperatures are pleasantly warm by day, and quite cool at night, down to perhaps 10 degrees Celcius.
Dalat is very much a niche tourism town, open to some of the more adventurous travelers, or the Indo chic romantics, seeking world class golf. There is a steady flow during some parts of the year of tourist from all walks of life and places, small hotels, cafe's lining its streets and plenty of small shops offering anything from orchids to knitwear. The vast majority of visitors are Vietnamese, although plenty of Americans and Europeans find their way, in their search for this utopian Dalat, a Life style resort destination, either on short package tours, or research and soul searching, drawn by the scenery, vivid blue skies, fresh air, flower-filled parks, and local culinary treats. Dalat is a favorite destination for company weekend outings, family get-aways, and honeymooners. Most guidebooks for overseas visitors describe Dalat as a tourist town with a colorful approach to tourism. Dalat is a very pleasant stop, on a north-south tour, or viceversa. or a pleasant outing from the heat of Saigon. For overseas visitors, it offers mostly a chance to cool down, observe the Vietnamese at play, view a bit of the French legacy, the Indochine legend and its momentous glories and the architecture untouched by the Vietnam conflict left behind,a unique place to enjoy the atmosphere of a unique country and its people.
Dalat is also surrounded by some of the best mountain biking, hiking and canyoning opportunities in Vietnam, with hills of coffee and tea plantations, which evoke images of the colonial hill stations of the north of India.
Dalat's high altitude (1500-2000 m) and fertile landscape make it one of Vietnam's premier agricultural areas, producing varieties of fruits, vegetables, tea, coffee and flowers that don't grow in the lowlands. In markets as far north as Hanoi and Hai Phong, vegetable and flower vendors will tout their "made in Dalat" produce.
Get in
Most local and foreign travellers arrive in Dalat by bus, including those travelling on the famous Sinh Cafe Hanoi-HCMC open-tour bus. Mai Linh Express and Phuong Trang run several daily services to Dalat from Nha Trang and HCMC. From Nha Trang, the bus ride is about 5 hours, with the obligatory stop at a dilapidated Cham temple/tourist site. From Ho Chi Minh City, the bus ride is about 7 hours (9 hours if there is bad traffic leaving Saigon).
It may be best to book a ticket on a bus without a television. The entertainment offered could be loud and unappealing to western passengers, who might rather prefer sleeping before arriving at their next destination.
There are various travel agencies in the town that can book buses to all parts of the country.
Alternatively, catch a local bus at HCMC, Bien Hoa, Phan Rang, Nha Trang or Buon Ma Thuot.
The airport, is a mere 30 km south of the city linked by a modern and yet scenic two lane highway and offers daily Vietnam Airlines/Air Mekong flights to and from HCMC, Danang and Hanoi. Dalat is being serviced by two airlines at this present time, being Vietnam Airlines and Air Mekong, a new private carrier with additional flights from and to Hanoi, Saigon and other destinations. Checking the timetables and prices being offered is well worth while since competition offers better rates with advanced bookings, Air Mekong like Vietnam Airlines is linked into overseas reservation and ticket issuing through the GDS and airline systems.
Some hotels offer special arrangements with taxi companies to ferry hotel-stayers to and fro the airport at around 200,000 VND.
Get around
Depending on where you stay, you can walk to most parts around town. You can catch a Xe Om (motorbike taxi) from most corners, so if you're going somewhere farther out of town, you have a fast way to get there. Taxis are also abundant and reasonable in price, yet watch the meter, as meter fixing is a common practice from north to the south. Please consider carefully before you move to rent a motorbike, as according to the Vietnamese law you must be in the possession of a valid Vietnamese drivers license, to be able to operate and drive a motor vehicle in the country, failure to have one, cancels any insurance that the bike might come with and makes you liable according to the law for any damages and remember in South East Asia, you are always liable, as you are always guilty, as you are presumed to have more money then the other party. Hence you will have to pay for damages to the bike and its full value, damages to other people and their property, as well you might have just ruined your own vacation time, due to injury and of course hefty payments to third parties.
Packaged day tours are easily purchased round town, which will take you to a variety of sites, it is recommended to use one of the three licensed operator, as they are registered with the tourism department, offer insurance coverage and in the event of any disputes, or grievances have to respond to the claims against them. Fair pricing policies apply to them, which might not be the case with some of more shady characters in the business, hence ask for the government registered license and receipt with a red invoice when contracting any services. (An indignity not uncommon in the developing world -- visitors from outside Vietnam are often required to pay double what Vietnamese pay for admission to many places when visiting individually, hence going through licensed operators will avoid some of those challenges.
The tourist agency, "Trung Tam Dich Vu Lu Hanh Da Lat," located on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, is not recommended due to their unethnical practice of duping tourists by reserving tickets for Sinh Cafe Open Tour bus for $12 (240,000 dong), then contacting the tourist's hotel to change the ticket for a later Phuong Trang bus, for 120,000 dong. The tickets will have extra zeros whited-out to make it look like $12.
Tours typically include a handful of stops like the following:
Other sites of interest:
Lak Lake is a nice stop on a bike-tour in the central Highlights. Staying 1 Night in Dalat i got told, that i will miss the most scenic part of the trip when I go from Dalat to the (anyway so overdevelopped) NHA TRANG and then Take the busy Road 26 to BUON MA THUOT. And he was right, its a beautiful ride down to the Elefant-Waterfall throug Cafeplantations ect. and then up to Lak Lake over a mountain and then through sunny highlands with Rice-Fields. The Road is partly very bad though, but doable.
Most visitors to Dalat are Vietnamese, and most of them leave loaded with stuff. What they like to take home is dried and candied fruits, strawberry preserves, coffee, green and artichoke tea, local wine, dried venison, orchids, strawberries, avocados, and other fresh produce. If you take any sort of organized tour, chances are you will be off-loaded for a half hour at a shop selling these items. Local treats are also for sale in abundance in the large central market located in the area around Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and Le Dai Hanh. Part covered and part outdoor, the market has dozens of small stalls selling also fruits and vegetables, clothing, and a wide variety of other goods. There is a supermarket on the top floor selling neccessities for travellers. Strolling around the market is a favorite evening activity, and every night it buzzes with thousands of sweater-clad visitors.
Dalat does not offer lot of high-end handicrafts of the sort favored by overseas tourists. Dalat is famous, however, for its beautifully crafted silk embroidered pictures, which can be purchased at a massive mark up from the many galleries around Dalat or at a fraction of the price from the central Dalat market.
Dalat also has an abundance of fruit, vegetables and flowers available for purchase if you plan to stay for a few days and want to liven up your hotel room or cook your own meals.
Dalat has countless restaurants to serve the diverse visitors, from all walks of life and origins, with offerings ranging from Local Lamdong province, Dalat food, to central and southern Vietnamese dishes and a fair number of Western and French inspired eateries, bars and restaurants, serving every budget and aspirations.

Where is
the uproar?
Congress recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act, sections of which nullify the 4th, 5th and 6th amendments (Bill of Rights) and section 9 of the Constitution. This bill authorizes the military to take United States citizens into indefinite custody solely at the discretion of the executive branch of our government. The public outcry to this is underwhelming.
Members of our armed forces take an oath to protect the Constitution. The president, senators and representatives, as well as state officials, take a similar oath. This bill voids habeas corpus, search warrant requirements, due process and the right to a speedy and public trial.
As yet, there is no public uproar. Oaths seem to have become meaningless. Where are the Tea Party patriots, active military, American Legion, veterans and the press?
To their credit, our Senators (Wyden and Merkley) were among the few who voted against the NDAA. However, our 2nd district congressman, Greg Walden, who also took the oath to protect the Constitution, voted for this draconian affront to democracy.
Bill R. Jones
The Dalles
Sickening, sad, scary
As I "did" my 20 minutes at the treadmill this morning watching MSNBC, after receiving yet another recorded message on behalf of Greg Walden much earlier, I'm so befuddled at the "choices" the Republican party have for president - even when there were eight or more, I thought to myself, "How are they going to choose between eight losers?"
It's so unfortunate, though no fault of their own, G.W. left such a mess at the behest of Cheney et al. To watch these poor souls in Michigan, Iowa and South Carolina swallowing the lies being told - Cain's affair, Perry's ineptness, Michelle's dream - and what are the Republicans left with?
Nothing in Gingrich's past is left to doubt about - his wealth, wives, and how he got it all - and Romney's glaring loss of memory on which way he voted on what he spoke for and then against.
I'll be 90 in June - a born Republican till Reagan was out of office - but I read a lot and watch a lot. My question to all the anti-Obama people: Have you all forgotten the mess, the debt, and wars he was left with?
All these "good men" stand at their podiums (or soap boxes) talking about Obama as if he were the enemy. Is it really because he's black (even though half)? How could any Democrat do anything Boehner et al would be behind and vote aye to help the U.S.?
It's sickening. And sad. Does anyone remember in this photo op with custom-made jackets and bullhorn, and the U.S. Ship "Mission Accomplished" banner?
If Santorum weren't such a straight-arrow, he'd try to change the abortion law, with help from W's Supreme Court, but at least he's honorable.
Just hard to relate to the diehards who continue to knock Obama and try to decide which Republican to vote for. It's so sad - and scary.

Use trained tree pruner
As an arborist I was a little dismayed to see your articles on trees and pruning on the front page of the paper. I feel that it was inaccurate to say "trees that were pruned regularly suffered less damage."
To prevent damage to many trees from this storm we would have had to excessively or improperly prune many trees. Referencing the orchard trees as an example for pruning for trees is a recipe for a lot of bad pruning practices, which will ruin trees and make them more dangerous in the end.
I hope that people remember that this was an extraordinary storm and that we shouldn't make knee-jerk reactions like removing trees out of fear. What I am most afraid of is that your article could get people to try to tackle jobs that a professional should handle.
I hope that people will choose to use a certified arborist or licensed, bonded and insured companies with experience in the field of tree work to help with their tree needs. Their safety and the health of their trees are worth it.

Aaron for DA
We have known Brian Aaron for more than a decade. He is an excellent attorney and loyal friend.
We have witnessed firsthand his availability and dedication as an advocate for so many in our community. He has provided legal services for our family and he is always available to discuss issues and concerns. We have come to rely on his sound advice. He is the first friend that I consider talking to when important decisions are being made.
Without hesitation we highly recommend him as the counties next district attorney. We think he has would make a proactive district attorney.

A level playing field
If a Hood River Walmart grocery store competed on a level with our Rosauers and Safeway stores it might not be too bad to have in our community. But Walmart doesn't have to, doesn't need to and won't.
Rosauers has 17 stores in four western states. Safeway has 1,500 stores in the U.S., mostly in the west. Walmart has 4,400 stores and Sam's Clubs in the U.S. and over 10,000 worldwide.
Rosauers operates at about an overall profit margin of 10 percent and I assume Safeway does, too. Walmart can and will underwrite groceries with profit margins from sales in home furnishings and appliance, apparel, automotive products, health and beauty products, toys, lawn and garden, hardware, sporting goods, pet supplies and household items from all 10,000 stores.
Walmart can and will sell groceries below cost until they drive Rosauers and Safeway out of Hood River. Then you can be sure all their grocery prices will jump significantly when they are the only game in town. Then we will all be paying more for groceries than we are now.
Then those of us who refuse to spend a dime at any Walmart store will be traveling outside the area to shop for food. Gone with our grocery stores will be all the jobs they now provide. Sam Walton's kids have only one goal - to make the biggest profit possible and they will do it at our expense.
And speaking of level playing fields, here is a question to ponder: If a city building permit is requested for a three-story house and the permit is granted for only a two stories, does it mean 10 year later the owner has grandfathered permission to add a story irrespective of the stipulations of the original permit?
Do you think the Hood River City Council would go along with that scenario? Apparently it fits for Walmart.

Scouting is stronger than ever in the Dan Beard Council. To ensure the growth and strong future of the Scouting program in the Greater Cincinnati area, the Board of Directors is developing a new Strategic Plan.
Much like the last strategic plan provided the roadmap towards growth in membership, stronger community connections, and new methods of supporting volunteers through the construction of the Scout Achievement Center, our next strategic plan will define the success and achievements for the next few years.
The development of the plan is an all-in process. The board has requested that volunteers on all levels contribute their input on our strategies of the future. We invite you to review the draft of the four pillars and eight strategies below and then provide your feedback! Together, we will create a strategic plan that will speak with one voice -- the voice of the Dan Beard Council.
The sucessful recruitment of youth is a crucial part of the Scouting program in the Dan Beard Council. The ability to retain the youth and the Scouting unit in our program is of the utmost imporntance.
We will continue helping to build stronger traditional units, as defined by the Journey to Excellence scores, by providing valuable service to our units and chartered organizations.
The Council must build upon its long history of providing excellent outdoor programs from first class facilities by positioning its properties and designing programs to address the evolving desires and needs of each generation of Scouts.
The development of a strong working Outreach Committee, with outside community organizations, and volunteers that will suppoer the development of improved results within outreach programs. The re-establishment of aims and objectives of Scouting will be delivered through these programs. The outcomes will result in quality programs in locations where Scouting is least likely to succeed.
All districts, no matter their size, carry out the same standard functions. The method of organizing is flexible and must be adapted to the needs and characterisitics of the communities in which the Districts and the Council support. Volunteer recruitment and succession planning are essential to the growth of the Council.
The ability to develop and retain a high quality staff is critical to the success of Dan Beard Council. Staffing in all departments, administration, field operations, development and support operations are of equal importance to quality growth and sustainability. The outcome measure shoudl be the achievement of the Council mission, vision, and total financial development objectives.
The Dan Beard Council is financially secure due to robust and sustainable funding models that address the current and future needs of the operating, capital, and endowment funds. The Council identified and accesses additional diverse and sustainable sources of funds to avoid overreliance on unpredictable funding streams. A major gifts emphasis is developed and implemented so that funding is not a barrier to providing programs that fulfill our mission.
The effective, responsible, and thrifty use of the Council's financial resources is imperative for the future success of the Scouting program. As the council is currently in a strong financial position, it is timely to strategically position the operating, capital, and endowment funds to be wisely invested and providing the best long-term return to the Council.
While the pillars and strategies provide goals and result measurements, the Guiding Principles overlap across all strategies and become the compass for the types of results that should be measured.
Feedback from volunteers like you is essential for the council's strategic planning process. There are many ways to have your voice heard.
Throughout September and October, members of the council management team will be visiting district roundtable meetings and leading a briefing and discussion on the draft of the plan. This is a great time to ask questions and share your thoughts directly with those that are working towards the final evolution of the plan.
You can also send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to share your comments. All messages received will be collected and considered for inclusion in the final plan to be approved by the council board of directors.
Thank you for taking an interest in the future of the Dan Beard Council, the Scouting movement, and the Scouts. Together, we will ensure the devliery of a quality program to tomorrow's Scouts.

Less talking more eating
I agree with and wish there someone i can try it on
damn that was hot half way through all i could think was how i would love to get a blow job of the lady in the video who is licking then i fantasized about joining her in licking the black ladys vagina and then at the same time imagining the black lady slowly licking my penis while she was being eaten out by the white lady :) i really enjoyed wanking off to this 11/10 from me
69 is the way to go
I agree with Pussy lover. There's nothing like eating a pussy! I eat pussy until my tongue gets numb!
LOL, sup bros! I think that might be on a different web site. The food thing is more for the giver's benefit, than the receiver's (If you don't like how her pussy tastes, then use something to flavor it.). Also, if you REALLY want to get a girl off while eating her out, use a toy to penetrate her at the same time.
So true. Just so true. Every man should be obligated to watch this before sleeping with a girl. I love it when I can just lay back and enjoy being pleasured by him, knowing that right now, it's all about me, my sensations and my oragsms. This way I experience the most intense orgasms. I'll be really tired afterwards, put the next time we're together, I'll make it all up to him with all the more passion. Cunnilingus is so worth it.
waaay too much explanation to what u think :)
i cant wait to eat some pussy
Can woman fall in love eating the pussy on a regular basis
Her voice and just the way she said pussy or girl or anything gave me a stiffie. I know warm ups are important but I can't tell you how hot it's been to just all the sudden dive a girl. They go "ohhhh" then my tounge is all over their thang working those lips like juicy fruit and slipping my tounge all thru their lady parts. The best part is the tastes are amazing. When she gets all lemonie, oh mah Gawd. Bliss!
I have a question for anyone out there. How the hell you know if you doing the right thing down there. I been doing all what they say and i like to know how i know my wife enjoying it. I hope i doing right
I would love to have you both come over and let me try it on your both. I just what to give my wife a good sex.
@ the Nile...I have to kindly disagree. I think the biggest mistake is that men do not pay ENOUGH attention to the clit. They use their fingers like a dick and neglect the clit. It's about time there is some instruction on what the sensitive little organ is there for! Guys don't have it so they don't know. The lips and ass feel nice but that won't cause an orgasm on their own.
The food stuff is completely bogus, everything else is right on tho guys! got so wet just listening.....
I love how you knew to NOT stop when she started cumming!
@ the Nile - I don't want a man's nose or chin, even a freshly shaved one, especially a stubbly one, on my clit or taint. It's abrasive and off putting, and can hurt!! Lips and tongue on my clit with sucking and flicking are what I need for a clitoral orgasm. I thought the video was an awesome instructional vid for people willing to learn! Thanks!
Took to long
I want to eat that pussy
That pussy is good I wish I was they to lick it
this is good teaching ... brill ,love this woman xx
This was actually very insightful. Thought the language was "porn" in nature, it was very realistic, natural and relevant. Thank you and nicely done!
hi! im man,but I very like to eat pussy, but I'd like to eat a nice black pussy.
Wow, the advice about using sugary things in that area is the worst i've ever heard. On their way to destruction...
I heard it better then it better then white pussy
Oh I like that
i love to eat pussies...
17 minutes later......
hello Jessie I am here to eat u up lots
well done
Speed isn't necessarily good you get a much better orgasm with a slow build up. Its annoying when guys go too fast you just end up sore. When its done right oh baby... Damn wheres a tongue when you need one
Having someone eating my pussy with a tongue ring in there mouth rather it's a male or female is so uncomfortable I don't like it! But hey teach they on
obv there are ppl who never ate a pussy b4, so they shuld follow this adn take from the experience. ppl are sayin she dsnt know wat she is talkin about, listen, she is givin good advise and ppl shuld take it for what it is. if this dsnt work for yo girl then do somethn different but if u never ate a pussy b4 this is good way to start and then learn from ur girl. gud vid, loved the ladies... nice blk pussy btw. muy caliente quiero comer!
this girl wasnt even good at eating out it would of taken that black woman so long to get off the way she was being ate out
I just about died laughing when she said "Pop Rocks"
i like to tease my girl i would lick and kiss all around on her legs,thights stomic even raise her legs and kiss her butt cheeks but not on her pussy for about 15 min than as soon as i do touch her pussy she lets out a big moan she is even more turned on and more wet, she allways says that it drives her crazy how i tease her like that
like name lines says...SEEN,heard other...BASICALLY Keep goin til cant breathe &/or get SERIOUS INSANE neck crick..EVEN THEN..KEEEPppp going....
I'm searching for a pussy I could eat!!!!
techinically guys do have a clit, AKA the tip of their penis, please have some knowledge of what your talking about before starting to argue, lil tip - food = no,no once foods introduced she knows you don't like it down their and will be more inclined to not get turned on due to awkwardness, in my experience its hard to say any other points in this vid are wrong or right, as every women is different, I've met women who hate oral sex, and women who soley rely on it as they are too tight or vaginal penetration hurts them in some way, the important thing is make sure she's showered, trimmed, your facial hair (depending on girls taste) us either neatly trimmed and bristly or clean shaven, ive never met a girl who likes the inbetween, and finally make sure she's comfortable, candles, incense, moodlighting, music or a massage may all lead to her comfort before venturing down to her most sensitive point for the intimate moment :D peace
damn,she's a lesbian...damn....damn....DAMN
Hey jessie want me to eat u...mwahhh
someone pls eat me ! :p
Oh shut your trap Nile. Everyone has their own methods, and apparently this chicks' is working for her (and this works for me). I got my own pussy and I know what I love. Every body is different, so your overly negative criticism earns you no respect! Love this video! major reference, and that black pussy.. hmmmm
How much did the video actually show? That lady was too busy talking and talking. Almost every girl has a favorite alphabet that she loves drawn on her pussy. Is there any discussion on that? You may not like nose or chin, but so many others do. And do not forget you are using more of yourself to please your partner. Once stimulated properly, the pussy becomes more receptive of many things, and some pain even feels more beautiful. Please know that these are the words of ladies who shared from experience.
First of all, fix your pronunciation right. It is not ka-lin-gus. It is kaani-lin-gus. You made one HUGE blunder of eating pussy. You seemed too focused on the clit itself. That my friend is a huge no no. As you eat her out, put your palms on the bottom on her ass cheeks and do kneading motions - start gently and build as needed. The opening of her vagina is very sensitive and spend time there. Clit should be visited less frequently. Remember, use your lips, mouth, chin, and nose together. Once you are done, and she is done, feel awesome if your face looks like a glazed donut. FInally, try eating a pussy right after a shower. ALmost every single pussy tastes good then and you will enjoy what you are doing even more. This enjoyment makes a huge difference.
i really wanna eat a pussy , :(((
black pussy...hmmmm like it.
VERY INFORMATIVE AND HOT !! I love to eat pussy myself. I'm a straight male , I"m always looking for new and more ways to please my girlfriend. I think that eating pussy is a turn on for both the giver and the receiver. I really enjoyed the video! Who would know more about how to please a pussy than a female right ! It was really nice thank you very much!
Overall nice video. Trim those nails, real nails long like that DON'T feel good when your doing some serious finger banging. Dirty nails = turn off too!
I came to wank, but got educated. Great!
first there should be a video on "how to talk to girls"
Eating pussy is the best! There is nothing like having a woman cum all over your face!
I followed every instruction and seriously she almost decapitated me when she came in my mouth lmao thanks
I can eat my wife and complete the task but this is absolutely helpful because the soft rubbing/teasing kind of thing will help me getting her in the mood easier, I hope....
hahaha now i have an idea because im still a virgin :) and i'm 19 yrs old lol
thanks for the advice... trying this tonight :)
Thanks for the tips i can get my girls to cum but never orally :(. Btw caught a mean boner when the black chick came two thumbs up ;P.
The black girl is Caren Caan from the other video: Dos and don'ts on how to lick and eat pussy
Very informative, can't wait till the next time I eat someone out
fuck that looks like some nice black pussy
SO HELPFUL! I had no idea what I was doing and now I'm pumped to get started!

Adam Lambert Goes Blond
Adam Lambert is known for his spiky, inky black locks. They are his signature, along with his thick eyeliner. The glammy and infinitely stylish 'Better Than I Know Myself' singer has gone rogue and to the complete opposite end of the style spectrum, bleaching his hair platinum blond.
He had been rocking some blond highlights as of late, but that's nothing, and mean nothing, compared to this!
The singer tweeted a photo of the new coif, which is styled the same, just several shades lighter. It's quite drastic, especially since he's still rocking thick, dark brows.
We're going to take a moment to give props to whoever is Lambert's tireless stylist. It must have taken several hours and levels of processing to take Lambert from black to blond. Big ups to Lambert, too, for being able to sit through all that color processing. No doubt his scalp has to be sensitive from the stripping of color and dye from his normally pitch black follicles.
Lambert's accompanying message was simple. He posted: "New do."
Okay, PopCrushers, we're posing this one to you. Do you like Lambert's latest locks? Is the white-hot hue working for him? Or do you prefer him more dark and mysterious?

GROVE CITY, Pa. - Three passing touchdowns from Colt Zarilla and another 100-yard rushing game from Ben Guiles led Lebanon Valley to its 400th win in program history, 27-7, over Grove City as part of the PAC-MAC Challenge on Saturday.
The Dutchmen improved to 2-0 with a mistake-free performance, committing no turnovers and holding the Wolverines (0-2) to only 187 yards of offense, including 51 yards on the ground.
The game represented the return trip for Lebanon Valley as part of the PAC-MAC Challenge series, a two-year committment between members of the two conferences. Grove City won in Annville, 17-14, last season.
Zarilla was 16-for-24 for 206 yards and three touchdowns, finding Joey Miller in the end zone twice and roping another to Matt Mankiewicz. Guiles ran for 103 yards with a touchdown, part of 200 yards rushing overall for the Dutchmen.
After leading 13-0 at the half, Lebanon Valley finished the game off with two unanswered touchdowns to blow open a one-score contest following Grove City's lone touchdown, a five-yard Blaine Miller run in the third quarter.
"When they scored to make it a one-score game and we came right back and answered the bell, that took some wind out of their sails and then our defense took over," head coach Jim Monos said. "Colt did some nice things. He managed the game in the second half and got us in the right play."
Joey Miller's 20-yard catch late in the first quarter put LVC up 6-0 after a missed PAT, and Mankiewicz caught his second of the year from seven yards out in the second quarter to go up 13-0.
Blaine Miller finished off a long 15-play, 91-yard drive to get the hosts on the board in the third quarter, but LVC answered on the next drive with Guiles' fifth rushing touchdown of the season from nine yards out. Miller finished it off with his second TD catch of the day to cap a 93-yard drive in the fourth.
"We're really getting the edge which is nice, but when we need to drop back we can do it," Zarilla said. "We have a lot of confidence. We're 2-0."
Lebanon Valley is 400-537-37 all-time since 1897 ... The road trip to Grove City (196 miles) was LVC's longest since a 236-mile jaunt to Washington & Lee in 1983 ... It was LVC's first turnover-free game since 2009 at Albright ... Guiles recorded his 13th career 100-yard game and second in a row ... He needs 56 yards to become LVC's third 3,000-yard rusher ... He also inches closer to Charlie Parker's rushing TD record of 35, scoring the 32nd of his career ... Guiles became the third player in program history to score 200 points. He now has 204 ... Tim Picerno had five catches for 58 yards ... Eight different Dutchmen caught a pass ... Conrad Heisey worked a quick 46 yards rushing in the fourth quarter, and Blair Ransom (32 yards) and Pete Panichi (19 yards) also shared the workload ... Grove City quarterback Clayton Hall, who burned LVC last year on the ground, was held to 101 yards passing and 18 yards rushing ... Leo Kyte saw his first backup action of the year at quarterback for LVC, completing one pass for four yards ... LVC punted just once, with Colt Zarilla dropping one inside the 20 ... Wes Rockwell and Kevin Smith each had sacks ... Kris Knutsen made his first career interception late in the fourth quarter ... Cory Homer led LVC in tackles for the second straight week with eight ... Chris Gibbs made 11 stops with a pair of pass break-ups to lead Grove City.

Planex has increased the max capacity of its NAS-01G network attached storage from 500 gigs to 750 gigs. The NAS supports BitTorrent downloads but isn't wireless; you'll have to make do with plain ol' Gigabit Ethernet. It also works with pretty much every protocol ever invented for use on the Internet, including the rare but highly efficient smokesgnl. While I just bought a 500 gig external hard drive for my iMac, I could always use more space. Fun content takes up a lot of space.

One day after making two questionable running decisions, Chris Carter admitted he erred Monday when he held up at third on Carlos Pena's double into the right field corner in the second inning and then again in the fifth when he didn't slide when he was thrown out in the fifth inning at home Monday.
Manager Bo Porter said Tuesday that third base coach Dave Trembley and Carter spoke about the issue.
"That's sufficient," Porter said of Trembley's chat with Carter. "I think Chris understands the fundamental mistakes that were made there and I think he will correct them as we move forward."
Carter agrees.
"Double down the line, I should score," said Carter, who had stopped at third even though Trembley was waving him home. "He held me up for a second. I looked at the ball and looked back in and he was getting he was giving me the 'keep going,' but I was already stopped. (In the fifth inning) I should have gotten a better jump on that 3-2. I waited way too long to go."
Porter, a former third base coach, has the philosophy that a third base coach is only there to stop players.
"You should always assume when you round third base that you're going to score," Porter said. "He's only there to stop you. That's the job of the third base coach. If you round third base. All the third base coach knows is that he's reading the flight of the ball. You can never anticipate a relay being mishandled or the ball not coming out clean.
"So if the base-runner is running hard and now you read the throw or the mishandled ball, if you're still sending him, sending him, if he don't see you stop him he just keeps going. Now if it comes out clean and everything is right you can stop him. Dave did a great job of getting up the line. He was up the line and read it good. But again C.C. needs to keep coming until the third base coach stops him."

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 30, 2009) - Jacksonville guard Ben Smith sank a game-tying 3-pointer with 10 seconds left in regulation, and the Dolphins outscored the ETSU men's basketball team 14-4 in the overtime to take an 82-72 win over the Buccaneers Friday evening inside the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
With the win, Jacksonville (12-8, 10-1) moves into sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Sun Conference, while the Bucs (15-6, 9-2) fall into a tie for second place with Belmont.
"It's a tough loss, but it just counts as one win or one loss," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "The game Sunday at North Florida is just as important, and now we have to refocus and prepare for that one. Give Jacksonville credit. They made plays when they needed to and we just couldn't get enough stops late. We've had 11 tight games like this one this year and we're 7-4 in those games. We just didn't get this one tonight."
The Buccaneers took the lead at 9-8 with 13:55 left in the first half, and the Bucs enjoyed an advantage of as many as 15 points in the first 20 minutes. The second half was much of the same for ETSU, but holding a 65-59 lead with just over three minutes left, the Bucs looked on as the Dolphins outside shooting ultimately tied the game. A 3-pointer by senior guard Evan Jefferson with 3:15 left and another by Smith two minutes later tied the game at 65-65, but a layup and foul shot by ETSU freshman Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) pushed the advantage back to 68-65 with 14 seconds left.
Smith then shot from 26 feet away from the basket and hit to tie the game at 68 with 10 seconds left. ETSU quickly inbounded the ball and raced to the other end, where senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) had a good opportunity to score but his shot rimmed out.
In the overtime, Jacksonville carried on its momentum, with senior forward Marcus Allen giving JU its first lead since early in the first half with a layup to open the scoring and make it 70-68. From there, Smith scored six more points to finish with 26 and outscore the Bucs 14-4 in the overtime.
For the game, junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finished with a double-double on 18 points and a career-high 16 rebounds, while sophomore guard Micah Williams (Manchester) added 14 on a career best four 3-pointers. Meanwhile, Sollazzo finished with a personal best 12 points, while seniors Tiggs and guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) each posted 10 points apiece.
For Jacksonville, Smith netted a game-high 26, while Allen finished with 17, forward Lehmon Colbert had 16, and sophomore Ayron Hardy had 10. Colbert had a double-double with 11 rebounds.
ETSU committed 19 turnovers and was outrebounded 46-34, giving up 20 offensive rebounds to Jacksonville while grabbing just eight offensive boards.
The Bucs will return to action Sunday at 2 p.m. against North Florida.

Cuz the team that they show in the preview NEVER is eliminated.......take Kent/Vyxsin last week for instance. Cowboys the first episode. Mel/Mike the second episode.........
it seems Luke was the last one at the roadblock unless the detour come after. or teams gets lost (i really doubt it,since Kolkatta is so narrow and teams are packed together)they will be eliminated but i hope they don't,but hope it isnt Ron/Chris
The RB in Kolkata sort of reminds me of the food challenge in Hong Kong last race.
Well Margie/Luke are safe next week.And we learned that you CAN U Turn a team, even if you have been U Turned.
