Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

With the passing of Earl Weaver on Saturday at age 82, baseball lost another of the greatest managers ever to set foot on the dugout steps, his death following those of Sparky Anderson and Dick Williams in recent years.Those members of the Hall of Fame left quite a legacy, each in his own way, but there remain many managerial greats among us -- a cadre of special former skippers, some actively involved in baseball, others enjoying retirement. Two of them are in the Hall of Fame as managers, and still others as players. A few are on the cusp of being considered for that highest honor very soon as among those eligible on the 2014 ballot. And that's just part of the club. In tribute to Weaver, here are some of the living managerial luminaries among those mourning his passing: Hall of Famers
Now that Weaver is gone, there are only two men alive who have Cooperstown credentials as a manager: Tommy Lasorda and Whitey Herzog. At age 85, Lasorda continues to spread the message of Dodger blue to this day, and will be leading a group of Dodgers out on the team's winter caravan, starting Monday. Herzog, 81, helped counsel Cardinals manager Mike Matheny last spring as Matheny headed into his first season in the skipper's chair. Two other accomplished managers are among the cherished living Hall of Famers, also. Frank Robinson earned entrance on the first ballot as one of the all-time great players, not for his 1,065 managerial wins. And at 89 years old, Red Schoendienst is the dean of former managers, having gained entrance via the veterans' committee as a player but also winning two World Series as a manager. Others in a similar spot -- in Cooperstown as a player but also served as a manager -- include Yogi Berra and Tony Perez. Cusp of Cooperstown
As it turns out, the 2014 Hall of Fame ballot will have a treasure trove of managerial talent available for consideration, as the Expansion Era (1973-present) takes its turn among the three eras now part of what used to be known as the veterans' committee ballot. Nos. 3-5 on the all-time managerial wins list are at the head of the class, with Tony La Russa (2,728), Bobby Cox (2,504) and Joe Torre (2,326) all eligible for consideration. La Russa finished with flair, winning a third World Series ring with the Cardinals in 2011. Torre, who will manage Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, hauled in four World Series titles with the Yankees, and Cox won one while leading the Braves to 14 consecutive division titles. After that trio that had so much success for so long, the living manager with the most wins under his belt is Lou Piniella with 1,835 -- and Sweet Lou, too, will be among those eligible next time around for consideration to be inducted into Cooperstown's hallowed hall. Each of them was active beyond age 65, which means they don't have to wait five years after retirement to be considered for the Hall -- assuming any of them don't come out of retirement before the ballot comes out, that is. Among the greats
Active managers Jim Leyland (1,676), Dusty Baker (1,581) and Bruce Bochy (1,454) lead the current class of managers in career wins, with Bochy poised to pass Weaver's 1,480 this coming season. Retired or at least currently inactive managers who have posted 1,000 wins or more include, in descending order of their victories, Mike Hargrove, Bobby Valentine, John McNamara, Tom Kelly, Art Howe, Felipe Alou and Jim Fregosi -- and Bill Virdon, respected as a mentor to many managers after him, checks in with 995 wins. So, while one great has passed, many who have made their mark on Major League managing remain. Of course, none of them were quite like Weaver, who stood apart with his wit and his competitive fire -- qualities that will live on in history after his passing Saturday.

Russell the Stupid is a real piece of work. I hope he means it when he says he is done with the game. If he doesn't, I hope Survivor is done with him. The Sucksters are all going crazy over Russell's comments about Denise at final tribal council and are proclaiming a winner's edit. Don't get excited; the edgic people are always wrong. But it was interesting that Denise is seen as such a likeable person. I always wondered how a therapist would do on this show. Almost forgot, but PML at the part where Russell was walking around looking for the idol saying that he was sure the cameras were filming him walking right past it (Russell walks right past the idol), looking for it in the wrong place while there's a big flash on the idol (idol flashes) and so on. That was positively TAR-like .

Sirpa Pietikäinen (Finland)
MEPs speak out on dementia
Sirpa Pietikäinen (Finland) talks to AE about her priorities for the European elections (May 2009)
In the run up to the elections, Alzheimer Europe asked Members of the European Parliament the following questions:
1. As the mandate of this European Parliament draws to a close, we would be very interested in hearing which you consider to be the key accomplishments of this Parliament which had a direct impact on people with Alzheimer's disease and their carers?
2. After the European Parliament elections in June, which are the main policy initiatives that will be important for people with dementia and their carers?
3. If you are re-elected, do you have any personal priorities that would be of particular interest to people with dementia and their carers?
Sirpa Pietikäinen: France's high prioritising of Alzheimer's disease during its EU presidency in 2008 brought forward a general debate about Alzheimer's disease in Europe and put a dynamic development programme in place in this area. The European Parliament has also been active in the field. The written declaration on the fight against Alzheimer's disease adopted by the Parliament in February 2009 is an important step forward in making Alzheimer's disease a European public health priority and especially in developing a European action plan on the issue. The green paper on Improving the mental health of the population voted for in 2006 gives special attention to carers and suggests that they should be consulted when developing Commission proposals in the future.
The first priority is to ensure a more effective mechanism to defend patients and caregivers' rights. We need to legally strengthen the role of Alzheimer associations as defenders of the rights of people with dementia and caregivers. The same principles that guarantee NGO´s rights of access to information and public participation in decision-making in environmental matters, as stated by the Århus convention, should be applied to Alzheimer's disease. Secondly, caregivers' support systems should be enhanced and their legal status improved. Thirdly, a united European action in prevention, early diagnosis and support should be created. Fourthly, the resources for research need to be substantially increased in all fields related to dementia.
The main priorities are to strengthen the role of advocacy groups and to invest in research and precautionary care. Just as it is important, or even more so, to underline the need for high-quality, medical care, one needs to emphasize the role of decent everyday-life and routines for each individual. The much-appreciated work of family carers should be evaluated and supported by the provision of required services. My personal priority in general is to fight against the stigma related to memory diseases and to fight for self determination and other rights of people with memory-related disorder.
Sirpa Pietikäinen, MEP, member of the European Alzheimer's Alliance, talks with Alzheimer Europe about the challenges facing people with dementia in Finland (April 2010)
Alzheimer Europe (AE) : Ms Pietikäinen, what are the key challenges that people with dementia and their carers face in Finland ?
Sirpa Pietikäinen (SP) : I would like to focus on three keypoints. They are early diagnosis, quality of care and services and looking after the carers.
Early diagnosis allows for many of the symptoms to be treated and thus enhances the possibilities to sustain normal daily life. Also, it is of vital importance to the patient, and his or her family, to understand the nature of the disease which reduces the stress that rises from uncertainty. It also allows them more time for many critical decisions in life to be made.
The level of care and services still vary a lot locally. Despite of nationwide standards there is an urgent need of better monitoring institutions and services locally.
Caregiving is one of the hardest jobs one can imagine and looking after the carers is of utmost importance. It consists not only of guaranteeing the financial resources but especially taking care of the physical and mental well-being of the carers.
AE : Governments across Europe are starting to pay more attention to the demographic changes in our societies and the resulting increase in the number of people with dementia in the future. Are there similar discussions in your country on a governmental or parliamentary level ?
SP : Yes, there are. The public attention is mainly on demographic change and its fiscal consequences. Much less has been discussed about how to cope with the rising amount of people with memory related illnesses.
But, I´m convinced that the awareness is about to rise and there are good signs of it in the political arena. The Ministry of Social and Health Care has given some recommendations and it is preparing a new law considering elderly people, so, at governmental level, I see that the issue is rising on the political agenda.
AE : Do you believe that Finland will follow the example set by France, Norway, the Netherlands and England and create a National Alzheimer's Plan?
SP : I am quite convinced that Finland will follow. I have taken up the issue of the plan into public discussion and I have had conversations about it with many of our politicians. Our Minister of Health and Social Services has taken the initiative very seriously and her Ministry has given a promise of a national memory-illness plan.
The plan should follow the guidelines of the famous Finnish North-Carelia -project which combined research and guidance and managed to reduce significantly cardiovascular diseases. In the same manner, we can combine the general research on memory-related illnesses with the monitoring of personal brain health, with information on the living-habits and thus rise the public knowledge of these illnesses.
AE : What do you believe should be the three policy priorities for Finnish policy makers to improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers in your country ?
SP : The main priorities are linked to the three points I mentioned earlier and the national plan. As a part of the plan I would like to emphasize one very important issue: the status of the national Alzheimer or other memory-illness organisations.
Organisations have experience and knowledge on the overall situation and all aspects of the quality of care, including practices in institutions and support provided by the local authorities. This knowledge can be utilised if organisations could be legally recognised advocates in issues considering the memory-illnesses and the overall situation of the patients.
The principle is same that the environmental organisations were given in the treaty of Århus. They can start a legal process on behalf of patients' interests, for example in cases of neglect. This is even more important now, when we have noticed in Finland that there is an urgent need to introduce adequate quality control of long term care.
AE : Finally, a last question on the need for a European response to the growing numbers of people with dementia. Would you support the development of a European Action Plan in this field and, if so, what should the priorities for such a European collaboration be ?
SP : Yes, I will support it with great pleasure. I have discussed the issue also in European Parliament and I hope that it wouldn´t be too long before the new commission present the plan Parliament has asked for.
Priorities of collaboration start from preventing brain diseases. Special attention should be paid on information to the public, with guidance on the ways to avoid these diseases. Through research we also need more information on the mechanisms of brain diseases and get new means to prevent and treat them.
Last, but not least, comes the question of quality of life. We simply have to make sure that as many people as possible can maintain their functional capacity. We also have to secure the best possible quality of life for people with memory-related illnesses and their carers and close ones. From my own experience as a carer I know that there are also always many small happy moments in everyday life. With the right and adequate support these moments are not too much overshadowed."

By Rosalind S. Helderman
The Washington Post
LITTLETON, Colo. — With two weeks left, the outcome of the presidential election could hinge on a relatively small group of suburban voters in swing states, who are genuinely conflicted about and often disenchanted by the choice before them.
They are people like Mark Bremmer, 50, a freelance designer who is something of a unicorn in the current political climate: An educated, informed and truly undecided voter still waiting for either side to tackle real problems in a way that feels truthful.
"What I want are common sense, pragmatic approaches to our very real problems, which are being grandstanded and marginalized by the rhetoric used to characterize them," he said recently. "I would like honest dialogue. That's what I'm looking for." Bremmer said he's leaning toward Republican Mitt Romney but remained unhappy with the lack of solutions from either side.
As a group, suburban voters are more affluent, more educated and more female than the population generally, and, although anxious about the economy, they survived the economic crash better than their fellow citizens in rural areas, better than blue-collar workers and better than city dwellers.
It's in the nation's suburban swing that President Obama and his campaign hope to build a margin that will help bring him 270 electoral votes. They believe the grass-roots organizing they initiated in 2008 — with neighborhood team leaders responsible for reaching out individually to voters, precinct by precinct — works especially well among suburban voters, who build off existing PTA, church and playground relationships. And it is here that Romney is counting on disenchantment with the president and the economy to swing voters his way.
The battle for these voters will be fought in places such as Loudoun and Prince William counties in Virginia, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties outside Denver, the suburbs of Cleveland and Columbus in Ohio, the Orlando area of Florida — and they are likely to, once again, shape the election's outcome in November.
Call them Panera voters, a wide swath of caramel-latte-swilling, hormone-free-chicken-munching, WiFi-surfing suburban voters in a few swing states who have experienced the economic crisis mostly as anxiety, rather than panic.
They still eat out, but they don't eat junk food, and they are looking for a bargain. On any given day, they can be found flipping open their laptops alongside their roasted artichoke turkey paninis and bowls of French onion soup at Panera cafes that have emerged all across the country as a cultural and consumer touchstone of the new suburbia.
The St. Louis-based Panera Bread is a burgeoning part of the restaurant sector called fast-casual, which has boomed during the economic downturn as people sought to find quality for less. Like these suburban voters themselves, Panera has proven somewhat recession-proof, opening nearly 300 cafes since the end of 2008, including 50 in the battleground states of Virginia, Ohio, Florida and Colorado.
The chain has thrived on the idea that despite the recession, plenty of people are still able to pay $8 for the right kind of sandwich in warm, inviting surroundings.
People who study suburban voting patterns say change has made these areas more fluid in their political allegiances. These voters are more highly educated than average and influenced by their communities' growing diversity, a mixing of people that came with the last economic boom, as newcomers from cities pressed farther out into what was once the countryside and, in some areas, were lured from overseas by new jobs.
"These communities are places where you start to see the city gather," said Robert Lang, a demographer and professor of sociology at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. "It's where the highways go from four to six lanes. . . . If there's a giant movie theater with 14 theaters and cars wrapped around it, that used to be a solid space for Republicans. Not anymore, and that's what's different."
But the shifting politics of such places has come mostly from the mixing of different groups with strongly held political beliefs: There are swing districts, but with increasingly few swing voters.
At a Panera cafe, it is not uncommon to find Republicans and Democrats sitting at tables near one another, each group saying they socialize mostly only with those with similar political views.
The challenge for both campaigns, then, is to find their supporters — house by house.
For the Obama campaign, their suburban strength will come from women. They believe suburban voters, particularly women, are increasingly finding Romney too out-of-touch on economics and too extreme on social issues.
They are voters like Elia Brovarone, 24, who was eating an early dinner here on a recent night before clocking in at her job at a nearby Yankee Candle store, the second of two jobs she must work to make ends meet.
Brovarone said her fiance will support Romney, and she, too, believes the Republican's got some ideas worth listening to on the economy. But she will vote for Obama, in part because of her strong support for gay and abortion rights.
"I don't doubt that both candidates want to fix the economy; I have no doubt of that at all," said Brovarone, who lives in Wheat Ridge in Colorado's key Jefferson County. "So I'd rather pick someone who has views I agree with economically but who then can also stand up for social issues that I believe in, too."
The Panera voter also suggests a hidden strength for Obama in these communities: passionate support of the Democrats' health-care overhaul from those who have tangled with the nation's complex health-care system.
To win in places such as Virginia's key Loudoun County, Romney will need to bring voters like Janet Dewey, who cast her ballot for Obama in 2008, back into the fold.
For years, the Ashburn resident considered herself a middle-of-the-road Republican, a product of her Ohio upbringing, she said over an iced tea at a Panera just off the Dulles Greenway one recent weekend. But instead of veering toward Romney this year, she's more committed to Obama than ever, in part because she believes the health-care law — derided by Republicans — was a sincere effort to bring down health costs for people not provided insurance on the job.
Her view was formed after watching her insurance costs skyrocket after she left a job at a bank following her husband's death to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a teacher.
"I didn't know," she said. "I've gone from one job to the next all my adult life, and I never knew what it was like not to have insurance available to me. It's just not something people tell you."
Because of a preexisting condition, Dewey was eventually paying more than $1,500 a month for insurance for herself and her young daughter, a catastrophic plan that did not include dental or vision insurance. Only with her new job this fall as a teacher's assistant did her benefits improve and her costs drop, a situation she believes will be ameliorated with the new law.
"I feel we have to have it," Dewey said of the health-care law. "And if we don't get him back in office, we'll lose our chance for that."
Romney aides say that suburban voters, disappointed with the Obama results, are looking for a leader who will be held accountable for campaign promises. The Obama attack on Romney as out of step with the suburban desire for cooperation and competence will ring false, they say, pointing to the Republican's background working with both parties in Massachusetts when he was governor and his success in these ring communities during the Republican primary.
"They're trying to paint him as this fire-breathing dragon in those suburban counties, and it's not working," said Rich Beeson, Romney's political director.
They believe Obama is especially vulnerable on issues of rising federal debt in such areas, as young parents fear leaving a broke government to their children.
And those fears are easy to find among Panera voters as well. Mark Warter, 48, owns a small remodeling firm in Loudoun hit hard during the downturn, as homeowners delayed revamping their kitchens and bathrooms.
Business is now improving, he said, but he fears rising spending under Obama.
"I just think a lot of times, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican depends on what you think of the general human condition," he said over lunch with his two daughters. "Do you think that people are going to take help and say, 'Thank you. Now I'm going to go help myself?' Or do you think they're going to get comfortable getting helped?"

2016: Obamas America becomes box office successWhile pundits and critics are divided over whether "2016: Obama's America" is a sobering documentary examining "the most mysterious U.S. president in modern history" or an 87-minute attack ad, there's no debating that the film is a box office phenomenon.Taking a page from his own book "The Roots of Obama's Rage," conservative scholar Diniseh D'Souza's film has shocked industry prognosticators by earning an estimated $20 million to date, more than five times what the second-highest documentary this year, "Bully," earned. With virtually no promotional budget, the film has expanded in a little over a month from one theater in Houston to 1747 screens this weekend.http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-09-03/news/33566994_1_box-office-word-of-mouth-movie-screens-last-weekend

Patty, the sweetheart behind The Plaid Cupcake and a longtime sponsor of this very blog, is here to soothe everyone's cries of, "But I can't afford a DSLR - I'm stuck with a 12 year old point-and-shoot!!!" Read on for tips on setting the scene, setting the settings, and shooting in style with any camera at all - no fancy-shmance necessary!
I've long had this fantasy of buying a DSLR camera and taking a course in how to master the sucker. You know, become one of those pro-bloggers a la Pioneer Woman who takes pictures all day that people drool over. Alas, my reality is more like this: I've owned the same Canon Powershot point-and-shoot camera for the past 5 years that was considered an older "hand-me-down" when I got it. Here's the thing though - you don't have to have the fanciest camera or the latest editing software to take amazing pictures.
1. Basic Supplies:
- White Cardboard - The cheapy stuff from your local craft store is great as a background and to bounce light on your subject.
- Sunny Room - "What if it's dark outside?" you ask? We could write a whole series of posts on different lights to use when daylight isn't abundant. This time of year is especially difficult, but unfortunately I hate to break it to you - nothing works as well as good old fashioned daylight. I've tried so many different set-ups and tools, but in the end I've just had to rearrange my schedule in order to get daylight. What can I say? It's the price we creatives pay. ;D
- Flexible Tripod - I kept telling myself that I didn't need one of these, but I was living in denial. Get one of these now. It makes such a difference - especially in low-light settings.
- Free Photo Editing Software - There's just no excuse to not use of these programs, as they're my favorite price: FREE! My advice is to wait until you master one of these before diving into anything "Adobe." Picasa, Picnik, Gimp, Photoscape, and Pixlr are all great.
- Eye-Fi Memory Chip - This isn't a necessity, but it's really, really cool. I refer to this as my "secret weapon." As soon as you snap a picture, this little baby downloads your pics wirelessly to your computer and puts them into a folder for easy access later on. Gone are the days are taking out the card, putting it into your reader, and getting a cup of tea while your pictures import.
- Turn off the flash. The flash is usually too harsh and washed out the subject - natural lighting is always your best bet.
- Switch to macro mode for small, close subjects. This setting probably looks like a tulip on your dial.
- Find your camera's "custom white balance" setting, and measure it against your poster board background. Do this every time you start shooting, as the sunlight and shade of white will vary depending on the time of day. If you can't find this on your camera, it's worth taking the time and searching for it in your manual. Once I started using this setting, it made a HUGE difference in my photos.
- When you think you're in close enough, get closer. I learned this tip from my dad. Think of how many times you've gotten group photos and thought "they should have gotten closer" versus "It's too close!". Don't be afraid to get up close and personal with your objects.
- Press your shutter button halfway down to lock in the exposure and focus. To help keep the photo still, take a deep breath before hitting the shutter button, and hold it while you snap the picture. Exhale afterward. (Betcha didn't know there would be breathing exercises!)
- Take a few straight-on photos but also play around with different angles. Place your object slightly askew and take the photo straight on. I bet it will be more interesting to look at
- Pretend your subject is the middle of a clock. Now turn your camera clockwise and snap a picture about every "10 minutes." Some will be at odd angles, but I promise at least one will be really eye-catching.
- Take at least five pictures that you think won't turn out well – remember, you're not paying for film!
- Fill Light
- Auto Contrast
- Straighten
- Crop
- Color Temperature
- Exposure

Passionate, romantic and full of life, a flamenco dancer with a red rose in her hair is the inspiration behind this charming ring. A Spanish rose blooms in carved red coral and is cradled by four swirling sterling silver prongs. Cradling the blossom and encircling the finger is a sterling silver filigree design that echoes the detailed architecture of the balconies and terraces of Spanish plazas. Intricate and bursting with passion, this is a ring for women with a finger on the pulse of Western fashion. The ring measures 7/8" long x 1/2" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
The lush beauty of a rose, the romance of a flamenco dancer as she stamps her heels and swishes across the stage--the legacy of the Spanish is one of color and passion. Across the American West, the influence of Spanish architecture and culture lives on in the simple lines and elegant stonework of Texas missions, in the ornate wrought iron designs of Santa Fe's terraces, and in the colorful festivals and fiestas of the West's oldest towns.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - College football is a game of emotions. Players are emotional – most actually play for the love of the game, not dreams of an NFL career and a fancy car with giant chrome wheels. Cheerleaders jump up and down because they care, even though nobody pays attention to them. Fans sometimes for no particular reason attach themselves to a college team, paint their bodies and live and die with each play. One moment the world has come to an end and a second later, they're proposing marriage to each other.
Nowhere was this more evident than in Auburn last Saturday night.
The Earth stood still while a ball hovered above two Georgia defenders for what seemed like three minutes, then Ricardo Louis crushed the soul of the Bulldog Nation.
In a normal world (or game against a Conference USA opponent) this might have been just another touchdown pass. But Georgia had just mounted a Herculean, fourth quarter, 21-point comeback. The Bulldog faithful - those who actually attended school in Athens as well as those with "Dawgs" tattooed on their neck - were enjoying the highest high and actually acknowledged each other's existence.
Then it happened.
I watched the ending of the game with mixed emotions. On the one hand, The Line King is the leader of the "Anybody but the $EC crowd;" on the other, my younger brother played for Georgia back in the 80s. He loved his Dawgs.
I lost him earlier this year after a long and brave battle with cancer.
I thought about what his reaction might have been. Auburn had been the fly in his punch bowl for almost three decades. It was an underdog Auburn team that had ruined his Senior Day in Athens. He was on the cover of the game program that day.
He played for the love of the game. He spent the first two years of his career at SMU (he was also part of SMU Death Penalty team – as a walk-on, smarty-pants). After hanging up his cleats after that mess, the Dawgs coaching staff convinced him to "come out of retirement" because they desperately needed a long snapper. He often talked about how his senior and last season of football was the funnest.
He played in the old Southwest Conference (SWC) AND the $EC. In his waning days at SMU, he was interviewed by a room full of NCAA lawyers after he officially listed his car and expenses paid for by SMU alums - our parents both graduated from SMU, but the NCAA never asked that question. He played in a bowl his last game.
After Saturday's miracle play, some of The Line King's Facebook "friends" that actually have internet service pondered, "What would (long-time Georgia radio legend) Larry Munson have said"?
A few suggestions:
"We had this thing won, you know we did, but they crushed our hearts"
"Fourth down and forever… this crowd hates us…they throw a long pass a mile down field…(nothing said, just crowd noise).
Laron (long-time Georgia sideline reporter, Loran Smith), whatcha got?"
I know what my brother would have said.
He would have stared at the TV as if nothing had happened, then after a few minutes, he'd have muttered something like: "Oh well, what are you going to do?"
I miss Larry Munson, but I miss my brother more.
The Line King is having a pretty good year. If the U.S. Government had wagered $100 billion a week, they'd have stockpiled $1.2 trillion by now and that whole debt-ceiling thing would be for entertainment purposes only.
Vandy +3 @ Tennessee: Vandy actually recruited my brother, but the Vandy fan was still only in high school.
Kentucky @ UGA -24: How can I go against the Dawgs now?
Johnny Football +4 @ LSUAMC: Johnny Football University used to be part of the old SWC. My brother saw one of their cadets actually draw his sword and threaten SMU cheerleaders when they were on the field.
Cincy @ Houston -3: They don't play in the Astrodome anymore, but Houston was part of the SWC.
Ole' Miss State @ Arkansas +3: Pining for the old glory days of the SWC.
SMU -4.5 @ South Florida: Win one for old No. 57.
Mizzu -3 @ Mississippi: The Line King and his brother once attended a game in Columbia several decades ago. It snowed.
BYU +1 @ Notre Dame: My brother once grabbed the face mask of a former little-league teammate and asked what he was doing playing at ND. It turned out to be a very long day for the Ponies and the referees didn't like his planned stunt, but they both ended up laughing about it many years later.
Baylor -9 @ Oklahoma State: Probably the biggest reach, but will stick with the SWC theme.
Wisconsin @ Minnesota +15: Not only do they play for the Paul Bunyon Axe (one of the coolest rivalry trophies), but watch what how it is exchanged If Minnesota wins the axe – they literally rush over to the Wisconsin bench to take it. Very manly.

I met Marin Asaoka in a new club I was checking out for the paper. She is a petite little thing about 5 feet tall and she was dressed like a china doll. They had her waitressing instead of being where she belonged which was on stage. She is built??¦man, nice big tits, a tight round ass she would have been great if given the chance. Anyway we hit it off and wound up back at her place for the evening and she showed me what a titty fuck was all about! I never knew one could get suck pleasure from cleavage!
Marin Asaoka enjoys showing off her big tits in the office where she is secretary to the boss. She also services him on his lunch break which is what you see here. On the couch in his office he takes her panties down and spreads her legs so her hairy cunt is open to him. He then licks and sucks her clit to turn her on and get her hot for what is coming next. He plays with her big tits before putting her on top of him so he can watch her face as they fuck. Then he is back to fingering her cunt before having her suck his hard cock until he shoots his load off.
Lovely in red lingerie, Marin is having a good time with her guy. She is sucking his cock and when she is done, he will get the toys and play in her hairy pussy to get it nice and juicy for a hard fucking. They fuck in a few positions and are enjoying their time together. There are some nice close ups of thehot action here! When he is done, she shows off her pussy as it is dripping cum from their sexy fun!
I saw Marin Asaoka in the local mini mart where she had applied for a job as cashier to supplement the allowance she got from home. She is a cute little thing, too cute to be in college that??s for sure. She is studying massage so she knows her way around the human body and can suck cock like a pro. She is glad to show off what she has learned. She likes to sneak into the dorm to shake up the guys, and get laid as often as she can. With her looks she doesn??t need to work in a mini mart!
I saw Marin Asaoka in the grocery store as she was feeling the melons trying to find the best ones. She has a nice big set of tits herself and I wouldn??t mind a feel or two of them myself! She has a rep for being a horny babe when her husband isn??t home and entertains the delivery man whenever she has the chance. Rest assured he has plenty of special deliveries to her house! He is there whenever her husband??s car is gone for more than a few hours- he runs right over with his delivery van and brings her his package!
Hardcore at its best! This asian dressed in her lace corset and lace thigh highs is quite an appealing gal in this xxx hardcore flick. She wastes no time in seducing her latest companion and getting his hard cock into her hairy slit! This movie is full of hardcore action, up close cock sucking, ending with this little babe getting cum sprayed into her mouth! Doggy style and much more plenty of the hardcore sex you have come to expect from this site!

This would be the 2nd product that I order for my I-phone and it comes damaged. Not sure what the problem with the quality of Overstock, however, I never had any problems with them. I am little bit worry to order another product with them.
I purchased this case twice, it has a classy look and it's inexpensive and durable.
I love the look but its not very practical. The top slides from side to side and magnet is not strong enough to hold it close. It comes alose to easily in my purse. The style is not durable enough.
I gave this as a present and the recipient really likes the case and how it feels.
I like the look of the case but am not sure how well it will protect the phone if by chance it should be dropped. Overall, it is very nice looking for the price
