Gay sex in a bath with Boy Scouts.
|I'm a Little Boy Scout
Kevin had just invented a silly song. It was a parody of the child's nursery rhyme about the little teapot.
I'm a little Boy Scout, short and Stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When you tip me over, hear me shout!
Tip me over and pour me out.
At the verse about the handle and spout, he would point to his dick and ass respectively. He always laughed it off, because he didn't want anyone to know he was gay. After going to the "National Sausage Fest" last year, and staring at all those hot bodies, he had figured out that he was attracted to cocks, not pussies. One cock in particular; Jack. Kevin got an erection just thinking about those smooth, muscular arms grabbing his waist, holding them still while his big dick was shoved all up there. He sighed as the thought of all that boy-cream shot up, and covered his prostate. But he knew that it would never happen, seeing as Jack had a girlfriend.
One night at the bathhouse, Kevin was left alone with Jack. Absentmindedly, he began to sing the song. His suggestive smile at the mention of pouring cum out of his ass aroused Jack. His cockhead peeked out through his towel. The sight of the red head drove Kevin crazy.
"You know," Jack began. He unwrapped the towel from his waist. His dick was pointing straight up. "I could use some relief…if you're interested…" He wanked his cock a few times. Sitting back down on the bench, he spread his legs invitingly, enticing Kevin.
All Kevin did was gasp at a prospect he didn't know was coming. In a moment, he was kneeling at Jack's (attractive) feet. Kevin's lips slid past his cock head. In the warm heat of his mouth, his tongue rubbed against that tender spot beneath the glans. It dipped into the hole of his cock, as well as running down the ridge, where head meets shaft. All the while, his fingers tugged and pulled at Jack's ballsack. Expertly, his balls moved through his fingers.
Jack moaned, as Kevin continued on with his ministrations. One hand was gently pushing the younger boy's head further down his thick dick, while the other hand ran up and down his chest, gently plucking at his nipples. He would start circling the red spots on the sensitive outsides, working his way into the center. At the center, he would pinch them. Twisting them was so much fun, so much pleasure. Suddenly, he began to pump Kevin's head faster and faster over his cock. His breathing picked up and his cheeks became flushed. Jack's cock got redder and redder, veins bulging, as his cum started racing up his dick. His semen shot out in quick bursts, filling up Kevin's mouth. It engulfed his tongue, submerging it under its salty goodness. Some of it managed to slide down his throat. But his mouth was full to bursting. A few little streaks of white trickled down the side of his mouth, down his chin, plinking on the floor of the bathhouse.
Slowly, Jack's breathing returned to normal. Kevin swallowed what was in his mouth and licked at what was on his face.
"Do you want to act out your song?" asked Jack. He jerked his cock again. It began to thicken and harden up again.
Kevin smiled. "Fuck yeah!"
"Just one thing," Jack said. "No pouring, I want to suck it out of your ass."
Bending over the bench and hanging onto the wall for support, Kevin agreed. Jack spit into his hand, lubing it up for it's pounding on Kevin's ass. His cockhead pushed up against the tight ring of puckered muscle that was his hole. Whispering, he told him to relax. Finally, it popped in, getting sucked into that warm tunnel. It sucked and made the most delicious slurping noises. Jack licked his lips, savoring the feel of Kevin's tight asshole, squeezing and tightening around his dick. He leaned down; rubbing his sweaty chest against Kevin's back, causing Kevin to have his hairs stand on end. He opened his mouth to let Jack's tongue in, to rub against his own. They swapped spit, so much in fact that it began to drip down the side of his mouth. The two boys moaned in the heat of their lovemaking.
Jack stuck his hand on Kevin's stomach. It lazily traced a circle on his smooth, flat stomach. Kevin sighed, and tightened his grip on the hard pole in him. When he clenched his muscles, Jack slid his hand down onto his raging dick. Groaning, his warm hand enveloped his penis, rubbing up and down. His thumb played with the head of it, always stroking it. Jack smeared the flowing precum around it, and grasping it, made his hand into a mini-hole. He tried to mimic what Kevin did with his ass, gripping harder when he was, relaxing when he was.
The wonderful smacking sound of skin against skin began to go faster and faster, as Jack picked up the pace. Beads of sweat formed on both boys' faces as they neared their respective climaxes. Their breaths began to mingle, and the scent of sex became heavier in the room.
Kevin was the first to shoot. He gave a very guttural moan, as his semen flew out, oozing down Jack's hands, dripping down to his balls, where it began to congeal. He gave a last squeeze in his ass, which drove Jack off the edge. He slammed into Kevin one last time and shot his own load. The lumpy mixture of white washed all over Kevin's prostate, which had received such a massage. It was so forceful that Jack and Kevin had to gasp, for neither had received such a forceful orgasm. Slowly, Jack removed his still rather hard dick out. The red head was covered with white, a small string of the thick liquid still hanging on to Kevin's ass.
Like he asked, Jack knelt down and placed his mouth between Kevin's cheeks. The sweaty smell of ass mixed with the animal aroma of semen drove Jack crazy. With his eyes closed, he snaked his tongue into the puckered muscle ring. He licked and brought out the first of many tongue loads of cum. Hungrily, he slurped down more and more. He devoured the white cream, enjoying every bit of it. And so was Kevin; all he could do was moan and sigh Jack's name with each lick.
After a long, messy kiss with Kevin, which transferred a bit of cum over to the other boy, Jack said, "I think I'll drink this 'tea' more often!"

More reviews by AntiqueGlitter
****I purchased this in the WATERPROOF formula.****
My natural eyelashes are already pretty thick, but they're straight and very short.
This mascara is a *okay*...I was expecting to get super long, clumpy eyelashes, but I didn't get that at all. Instead, I got mediocre length and very few clumps. I guess I should be thrilled about the less-clumps thing, especially since I packed on three (!) coats, but I was really looking forward to getting lots of length like it claimed to give.
The curl-holding power, however, is great! (Maybe that's because I got the waterproof formula, though...?)
I'm really liking the definition this mascara gives me. It's not as defining as the L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes is, but it still defines pretty well. I used this in conjunction with the Maybelline Falsies Waterproof Mascara, and I got satisfactory results. The Falsies really amped up my eyelashes with volume, and it clumped up my eyelashes too, but with one or two swipes of Lash Stiletto, my eyelashes were clump-free and defined again without ruining the volume or length.
Would I repurchase? No, I'm still looking for the ultimate lengthening mascara.
This mascara definitely does what it claims to do, and I did enjoy using it, but I am taking one lippie off because for me personally, it doesn't do enough to help me out. I already have naturally long eyelashes (I probably shouldn't have even bought this mascara, considering), and it did add length, but it did little to help in other areas. Still a great product!
Personally, i do not think this product worked well for me. It kind of pushed my eyelashes into like sets of 8 instead of fanning them about. I wouldn't recommend it for people who like really fanned out lashes.
The worst thing about this mascara is the brush!! Trying to apply the product with it is definitely a lesson in dexterity. I almost poked my eye out the first time! It's far from smudge proof and I find flakes of it in the weirdest spots on my face. Wouldn't recommend this messy mascara to my worst enemy.

This didnt flake or smudge or anything like that during my day.
The brush separates my lashes wonderfully.
1 problem... the smell...it smells weird, like off honey. Im not sure if anyone else has this problem
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have mascara from Red Earth, Avon, and Great Lash by Maybelline, however this one is now my regular mascara.
My lashes are non existent, but with a few coats of the stilleto, my lashes are suuuuuuper long.
It can be a bit clumpy, however I'm not a stickler for perfection. This mascara makes the lashes super super long. Love it, I will keep using this until a miracle happens and I find a better mascara than this one.
I'm seeing all the other reviews, but it did not flake for me, at all. It's just a bit clumpy, no big deal.
I've been using this mascara for more than 2 weeks now to test it and I hate it! I have short Asian lashes and it doesn't do much in lengthening, but rather make it clumpy and flaky. It flakes so much that my boyfriend is constantly wiping off black specks underneath my eyes when he looks at me. Anyways, I would not recommend this mascara.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I HATE this mascara. I've never had a bad experience with Maybelline mascaras until I tired this one. It did make my lashes longer but they were so clumpy and it flaked so much. I'm stick to my Maybelline Define A Lash
Ok, I kinda figured that the people who gave bad reviews never test the mascara long enough. This mascara needs to be slightly seasoned to get it to its full power.
When I first tried it, IT FLAKED SO BAD that hurt my eyes. I was almost convinced that I got a bad buy. However, I am such person who will use whatever eye products to the full use. After testing the mascara for a week, it started looking better.
I have Asian lashes, so it droops straight down, short and quite thin. I started slowly at the base and slowly worked my way up and lightly coating the tips of my lashes for 2 times and I get SUPER NATURAL LONG LASHES that is slightly volumized. Which I think it's very wearable for everyday wear. I am wearing this everyday to school or to my part-time work. And it did not flake over the long period of time, did not smudge or budge when I rubbed my eyes sometimes. It's super waterproof as I needed to get an oil-based remover to remove it.
I took out one lippie because it can't hold a curl that well in comparison to the Kiss Me Heroine Make mascara which is my holy grail mascara for lengthening.
EDIT: It started become really flaky again and barely felt like I put anything on. It don't really lengthens anymore.
Best mascara I have ever used!! It's my regular mascara now! Every other mascara I've tried since then doesn't compare to Stiletto. I find that it works the absolute best if you do it slowly though. Start at the base of your lashes and make slow, steady strokes. It works super well!!

STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) -- Tuesday marks the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.
There was a reenactment of President Abraham Lincoln's speech in Pennsylvania among other events.
After researching her family history, Margaret Lam and her relatives realized Sgt. Osbert Lytton, her great-grandfather and a Civil War P.O.W, is buried in Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton.
Margaret Lam laid a wreath where Lytton is buried, before there was just grass.
Putting a marker on his grave is her way of making sure those who fought aren't forgotten.
"There's no marker here. My great-grandmother is also buried," said Lam.
For Lam, it's a homecoming of sorts as her long lost family is found.
"Adopted when I was four years old and lost my family, the Lytton, and was raised in a wonderful family," said Lam.
Sgt. Lytton was part of Stonewall Jackson's brigade.
Lam said he also survived being a P.O.W in South Carolina in rough conditions.
"The Immortal 600, which were confederate officers mistreated by the Union," said Lam.
A country divided that endured. A speech to bring the country together during a bloody civil war. A war that's remembered here with a memorial for confederate soldiers.
Some soldiers have markers, others do not.
"It doesn't matter if they were Union or the Confederacy, I mean, anytime somebody puts their life on the line I think it's really important to remember them. Just like today, with what's happening over in Afghanistan," said Lam
Lam said there are other Lyttons buried in the cemetery and that she'll keep looking because she feels history is something worth looking for.
"I look at the battlefields as being sacred ground and our children need to learn this history," said Lam.
Lam actually started doing research on her family history after being reunited with her birth sisters in 1976.
She says Lytton is one of a number of others in her family that fought in the Civil War.

New capabilities emerge just by virtue of having smart people with access to state-of-the-art technology.
No book has yet been written in praise of a woman who let her husband and children starve or suffer while she invented even the most useful things, or wrote books, or expressed herself in art, or evolved philosophic systems.
No flower of art ever fully blossomed save it was nourished by tears of agony.
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul.
No form of Nature is inferior to Art for the arts merely imitate natural forms.
Not what man knows but what man feels, concerns art. All else is science.
Nothing is really so poor and melancholy as art that is interested in itself and not in its subject.
Nothing, it appears to me is of greater value in a man than the power of judgement and the man who has it may be compared to a chest fulled with books, for he is the son of nature and the father of art.
Nothing, it is true, is more common than for both Science and Art to pay homage to the spirit of the age, and for creative taste to accept the law of critical taste.
O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray,
O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands.
O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Oh, thou hast a damnable iteration, and art indeed able to corrupt a saint. Thou hast done much harm upon me Hal, God forgive thee for it. Before I knew thee Hal, I knew nothing, and now am I, if a man should speak truly, little better than one of the wicked.
On the whole, age comes more gently to those who have some doorway into an abstract world-art, or philosophy, or learning-regions where the years are scarcely noticed and the young and old can meet in a pale truthful light.
One cannot remain the same. Art is a mirror which should show many reflections, and the artist should not always show the same face, or the face becomes a mask.
One must not always think that feeling is everything. Art is nothing without form.
One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless. They have put into practice the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.
Originality is the art of concealing your source.
Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.
Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also.

Citing family illness reasons, Don Elder has submitted his resignation from the North Adams school board. The surprise announcement came at the end of Tuesday night's regular monthly board meeting.
Elder was appointed exactly one year ago to what has commonly been called the "swing" seat on the board. Representation for that seat alternates every four years between residents of the city of Decatur and rural residents.
After hours of discussion and consideration at public meetings and work sessions over a period of two months, the South Adams Schools Board denied a request by Pastor Mo Hodge to use the school facility in Berne as an extension of The Bridge Community Church's Decatur campus. Nearly 50 people packed the choir room at Tuesday's meeting to hear the board's decision.
Ernest Frederick Fennig, 90, of Berne, died on July 8, 2012.
Among survivors are his wife, Florine Fennig, and sons, Jeffrey Fennig (Paula) and Joel Fennig.
Visitation will be on Wednesday from 4-7 p.m. at Swiss Village, Berne. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, also at Swiss Village.
Adrian B. Sprunger, 82, died on July 7, 2012, at Good Shepherd Hospice in Auburndale, Florida.
Adrian was born on December 13, 1929, in Berne, to the late Noah and Amelia (Badertscher) Sprunger.
On June 10, 1950, he married the former Mary Lou Barger.
Keturah M. Wickey, seven weeksold, died Tuesday at Riley Hospital, Indianapolis.
Among survivors are her parents, Leroy M. and Josi D. (Schwartz) Wickey of Monroe.
Visitation will be today from 1-8 p.m. and on Thursday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Wickey residence, 2406 S. Salem Rd, Monroe. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 1 p.m., also at the Wickey residence.
Arrangements were by Yager-Kirchhofer Funeral Home.
Top seeds Courtesy Motors of Decatur and Ossian White opened their Adams-Wells Koufax Baseball Tournament quests Tuesday night after completion of the first round of games Monday.
Alberta E. Schaper, 87, of Decatur, passed away Sunday, July 8, 2012, at Woodcrest Retirement Community.
Born in New Haven, she was the daughter of the late Herman and Hortense Fiedler.
Marcel R. Welling, 89, of Bryant, died July 9, 2012, at his home.
He was born January 16, 1923, in Bryant, to the late Henry and Elizabeth (Schaefer) Welling.
On June 24, 1950, he married Mary Ellen (Lengerich) Welling; she survives.
He was a retired dairy farmer and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was a member of St. Joseph's Men's Sodality of the church, Knights of Columbus, Decatur, Bryant Senior Citizens, and Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Bryant.
No candidates were named to fill vacancies for county offices on the November general election ballot, according to an announcement Monday by Rob Noetzel, chairman of the Adams County Republican Party.
Republicans and Democrats had until June 30 to fill any openings in their slate of candidates for the fall. July 2 was the deadline for any independent candidates to file petitions with the clerk of courts office.
Democrats had four vacancies for major local offices.
Adams County residents are now able to drive golf carts on county roads and streets, thanks to an ordinance passed by county commissioners Monday.
Under the new ordinance are the following conditions:
• Those driving golf carts on county roads or streets must have a valid driver's license.
• All passengers must be seated in factory-installed seats during operation of the golf cart.

Thanks for Asking… – Brandon Crawford
First, make sure you get the latest Giants Magazine. On the cover: Three Brandons.
If you're wondering why Hicks isn't in the TV commercial for the Brandon Bobblehead day with Belt and me, it's because that commercial was shot in January (when we were all in town for Fan Fest). Hicks hadn't made the team yet. He was a non-roster invitee to spring training. It's a pretty funny commercial, I have to admit. My uncle texted me that every time he sees it, he laughs out loud.
Now to your questions:
Chad Zullinger, the choir director at St. Ignatius, wants to know if Giants hitters take batting practice against Giants pitchers.
Only during spring training because hitters need to face top pitching to get their timing back. I've seen other teams, where a pitcher might be coming off a DL stint and a batter hasn't been getting a whole lot of at-bats, and they'll face each other. But I don't know if I've ever seen us do that. Sometimes pitchers throwing a bullpen will have someone stand in at the plate. I saw one of our pitchers hit Eric, one of the trainers who was standing in as a batter. If Cain had hit a player, we probably would be second-guessing that a little bit. Or if a hitter took a swing and hit a pitcher with a line drive. I don't think we want that to happen.
By the time the season starts, our timing's there. So in BP we're working on specific things and keeping loose.
Steve asks how I shake off an error. "It has to make you mad, so what do you do with those feelings?''
It definitely makes me mad, especially if I have a dumb error like I had Saturday night. I tried to be way too quick on a ground ball, and I bobbled it. Those make you mad because it's your own fault. I should have slowed myself down and made sure I had the ball first. I probably would have gotten the runner. You just have to tell yourself you'll make the next one. You have to have that confidence. I feel like I've always had a good demeanor. Even as a kid, I was pretty good at shaking off errors. Knock on wood, but I can't remember too many times when I've let one error lead to another. I'm not going to lie, though — after the error Saturday night, I was still thinking about it even a couple innings later. It bugs me right now thinking about it!
I've had a few recently where the ball has taken a bad hop. Those are easier to shake off because there isn't a whole lot you could do about it.
Margaret wants to know where the White Shark blog has been.
Gregor's been writing it. Sorry you've missed it. Here's his latest. http://gregorblanco.mlblogs.com/2014/06/09/hard-work-attitude-decaf/
Jill wants to know how bummed Hunter was when his scooter was stolen. She also asks if I really read the comments.
I think everyone could see how bummed Hunter was. It was like a piece of him was missing. And yes, I always read the comments.
Ann asks, "Which play as a Giant are you most proud of?''
There were a couple good plays in the World Series. I made a diving stop up the middle on Miguel Cabrera in the eighth inning of Game 3. We were protecting a two-run lead. Timmy was pitching. Cabrera led off the inning. Prince Fielder was on deck. If Cabrera gets on and Fielder hits a home run, now it's a tie game. I guess I'm proud of that because it was against one of the best hitters in baseball on the biggest stage in baseball in a close game.
I also remember in the fifth inning of Game 4. We were behind 2-1. Runner on first. Two outs. Quintin Berry was up and Cabrera on deck. Berry hits a come-backer that glances off Cain's glove. I barehanded it and threw Berry out to end the inning.
Another one: This was in Game 7 of the NLCS against the Cardinals. We had a 1-0 lead in the second inning. They had runners on second and third with two outs. Kyle Lohse, the Cards' pitcher, hit a soft line drive over my head that would have scored both runners. I leapt up and caught it. Giving up a two-RBI single to the pitcher could have been a backbreaker.
Ann and also Dan Hunter ask: What would you be doing for a career if not baseball? And what's your dream job after baseball?
In high school I took an architectural drawing class on computers. We designed the floor plan for a house. The dimensions had to be right, things like that. It was cool. I thought that would be interesting.
My dream job after baseball would be to be a Dad. It's a dream because I'd have to make enough money so I could do just that. Otherwise, maybe I'd coach.
Jon Adams asks, "What's your favorite music?''
I like a little bit of everything. There hasn't been much new music I really like. It's kind of disappointing. If anyone has suggestions, let me know.
Courtney asks about the medieval helmets and if we get to pick the style we get.
I don't know much about it, to be honest. I don't know how it's decided who gets what helmet. I'm not even sure who does it. I think it's Hunter or Morse or both of them together.
Island Girl asks if I can sing.
No. Definitely no. Listen to my radio commercials. I don't have the voice for singing or for broadcasting. I know a lot of lyrics — not as many as Timmy — but I know a lot. But you don't want to hear me sing. I don't want to hear me sing. I turn the music up so I don't have to hear myself. I sing to my daughters at bed time, but it's just the ABCs and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
This is from Melissa: Do you use alternative medicine like acupuncture?
We do. Haro Ogawa, our masseuse, has his license for acupuncture. I've used it a few times.
Richard asks: The new home run celebration — how did that start and what are you chanting?
I think it's from wrestling or maybe Michigan football, or both. I'm not positive. They're yelling yes, yes yes. I haven't gotten into it. I hit a home run the other day and everybody's waiting — and I walked through giving high fives. Buster doesn't do it either. And that's fine. Not everybody has to do everything the same.

Maybe It's the Cowboy Boots – Brandon Crawford
I was thinking today about how every team has a different vibe. I don't know how to describe it. It's just a feeling you get about how guys click, how they approach the game. The team this year, if we lose a game, we move on. We were shut out at home by the Braves then put up 10 runs the next day. We lost in a walk-off in Colorado then came back and beat them the next day. Somebody steps up.
I don't know what that is — the medieval helmets Morse is leaving in guys' lockers, Pablo's superhero T-shirts or what — but something's working. It wasn't the same last year. I think it has a lot to do with adding a personality like Morse. We kind of lost that when Ryan Theriot left. You need a guy who keeps everybody loose. Morse is just a positive guy. You never really see him down. He's funny but he can get you fired up, too, which is how Theriot was.
I shouldn't single out Morse because there are a lot of guys in the clubhouse who make the team what it is. Every guy, actually, because it's the combination. There's always something going on in here. You probably know about Pablo's cowboy boots by now. I think it started when we were in LA. He put on Bumgarner's boots, which I'm not sure that was the smartest thing he's ever done. But he ended up getting a big hit so he kept doing it. Then Bumgarner got him his own pair. Pablo puts them on in the dugout before his first-inning at-bat. He actually takes his cleats off, puts the boots on, dances around and puts his cleats back on. It's ridiculous. Whatever works.
My contribution is music. I'm generally the DJ in the clubhouse. About 45 minutes or an hour before the game, I've been putting on the same four songs because they've been working. We've lost with them, too, but mostly we've won. I'm not going to say what the four songs are. We don't want other teams to know the winning combo.
We're back on the road, as you know. I was lucky the last road trip because Jalynne and the girls met me there. Jalynne's cousin Mechaela, just started working as our nanny, so it's easier for Jalynne to travel. The two of us went for a nice dinner the first night, while Mechaela and the girls had room service at the hotel. The next couple of mornings, before I went to the park, we went to the zoo and to a children's museum.
Unfortunately, they got stuck at the airport on getaway day, the day our game had to be suspended. They arrived at the airport early hoping to get out before the worst of the storm. They were there about six hours with two kids under a year-and-a-half. Not fun. Finally they hitched a ride on the team plane. (Families don't fly with the team except on specially designated family trips.) A big thanks to Boch for giving the OK.
A few more things:
Jalynne wanted you to know the wives raised $21,000 from auctioning the baskets. Thanks for helping to get the word out.
Someone asked for a photo of Tyler Colvin's dog, so here it is.
To McCovey Cove Dave: I was happy to sign the Splash Hit home run ball for you. You mentioned Katie Sherwood getting my first Splash Hit. She is supposed to be visiting the park sometime soon and has agreed to give me the ball in exchange for another autographed ball.
I'll answer your questions next time. Keep them coming!

Baby Baby Giraffe – Brandon Belt
I've got news. I've been sitting on it since January, waiting for the right time, which seems to be now. There will soon be a baby Baby Giraffe. Haylee is six months' pregnant, so there is no hiding her belly any more. The baby is due in September. We already know it's a boy.
We're really excited. We know we'll be getting lots of advice from teammates and their wives. We might even listen to some.
It's been two weeks today since my surgery. It's kind of driving me nuts not to play. Someone asked me on Twitter on a scale of 1 to 10 how much I wanted to get back into the lineup and I said a million. I love watching baseball, and we're winning, so that part is great. But in the dugout, because I don't have anything else to do, I'm talking a lot more. I need to shut up. No one's told me to shut up, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. The more I watch, the more I want to play. And the more it drives me nuts.
Morse is doing a great job at first. He's an athlete. You heard about him tossing the ball in the dugout and hitting my broken thumb? He was throwing it to one of the clubhouse guys, but it bounced, hit the dirt and came toward me. I was on Vicodin at the time, soon after my surgery. So my reflexes were a little slow and my coordination was a little off. I waved my right hand at the ball to bat it away, and I completely missed it. And it happened to go right where my thumb was. That did not feel good. I spent a little time in the clubhouse until the thumb stopped throbbing. When I returned to the dugout, I put a batting helmet over it.
Right after the injury, I watched a couple of games on TV. I thought it would be weird. But, it was weird only in that it wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. I felt like I had done this before, and I realized why. Sometimes I'd get home from a game and CSN would be showing a replay, and I'd watch some of it. So that's what it felt like when I watched live games. Of course, the best part of watching any Giants game is listening to Kruk and Kuip. My family back home won't watch any Giants broadcast if Kruk and Kuip aren't doing it.
I'm getting a little better at using my ring finger and middle finger as a kind of claw to grip a fork to eat. I tried eating with my right hand and it wasn't pretty. Haylee has to help me with my socks and tying my shoes. She's in Mom Mode, taking good care of me.
A couple of movie reviews. (Thanks for saying you missed them!)
Godzilla: It's a little long and kind of confusing at first. I was like, "I don't know what's going on right now.'' But I liked the story line. Godzilla is kind of a good guy in this movie. You kind of like him at the end. It's a different perspective.
Two and a half stars.
About Time: It stars Rachel McAdams and some British guy. The men in his family have always been able to travel back in time. They can even travel back to a memory and change it if they want to. They can do whatever they want. It's kind of a like a normal Rachel McAdams movie like The Notebook and The Time Traveler's Wife. So I wasn't expecting much. But I really, really liked it. It hit on a lot of emotions. It was funny. It was sad. It kind of makes you appreciate the people you have in your life. I just really liked it. Of all her movies, it's the best one. Haylee fell asleep. We started watching it late at night, she just couldn't stay awake.
Three and a quarter stars. (I'd give it three and a half, except I'm just not crazy about the romance/chick-flick genre of movies.
Neighbors: I've been waiting for this movie to come out since December. I think I had built it up too much because I was kind of disappointed. It didn't meet my expectations. I thought it was funny but not as funny as I thought it was going to be. It was kind of stupid, really.
2 stars
Thanks for welcoming all the guest bloggers. I'll jump in now and then. In the meantime, I'm working hard to get back on the field as soon as I can. Thanks for all the encouragement!

Pinch-Blogging: Jalynne Crawford
I'm jumping in for Brandon today to let you know about something going on this weekend at the ballpark. I'm wondering if you could help us get the word out.
The players' wives and girlfriends have put together "Player Favorite Things Baskets.'' We're auctioning them off tomorrow and Saturday to raise money for three great charities: the Giants Community Fund, The George Mark Children's House and The Homeless Prenatal Program.
You can see the baskets and bid on them at the Community Clubhouse, which is on the Promenade Level behind home plate. (Half will be auctioned off Friday and half Saturday.) You can make bids through the first three innings of the games. There's also an online auction (sfgiants.com/gcf through Wednesday, May 28)with experience packages — like lunch with Tim and Kim Hudson, Batboy for a Game, Batting Practice Experience, First Pitch and more.
Here's what I put in Brandon's basket: a game-used bat, a signed ball, three signed baseball cards, one men's and one women's signed Crawford T- shirts, Junior Mints (my dad surprises Brandon with them when he gets good hits or needs a good hit), some of his fav chocolate, Sun chips (one of his fav chips), Mountain Dew (FAV soda), crossword puzzle book (he loves doing these on his phone before bed, on the plane, in the training room with Javi Lopez while heating sore muscles before games), Hunger Games book, (he enjoys reading but doesn't have much time anymore and he really enjoyed the movie), Starbucks gift card (loves his caramel macchiato), Cheesecake Factory gift card (one of our fav places to eat but haven't been in a while). In past baskets I've included a Bible, but the store I went to was sold out. With the time constraint I couldn't go to another place to get one :(
Here's info on some of the other baskets:
Kristen Posey included a signed baseball, signed game-used batting gloves, two signed baseball cards, signed Giants hat, Dumb and Dumber DVD (Buster's fav movie), BodyArmor (fav drink), jalapeño chips, Reese's cup (fav candy) and his fav snack, beef jerky ("We are from the South!'' Kristen says).
Jessica Morse did something really cool. She put together a regular basket, then she did one that resembles a Giants locker. It has hooks where she hung a signed pair of Mike's game-worn cleats, a signed jersey and other cool things. Her regular basket has Mike's fav candy bars (KitKat, Hershey's, M&Ms), signed ball, signed batting gloves, iTunes gift card, signed baseball cars, a bottle of wine, signed bat, signed hat, an 80's music CD, Beast Mode apparel from Fresh 22.
Mirna Blanco, Gregor's wife, said she included signed cleats, signed bats, signed batting gloves, magazines that Gregor likes (car mags and Cosmopolitan!), and PlayStation and Wii games.
Lisa Pilgrim is David Huff's girlfriend. Her basket has a nice bottle of red wine, signed memorabilia, iTunes gift card, a few of David's favorite movies such as The Hangover ("He likes so many movies it's hard to pick. He basically watched everything that comes out,'' Lisa said), Red Vine licorice and clothes from Lululemon. (Lisa: "He's obsessed with Lululemon. It's ridiculous.'')
Haylee Belt's basket has a gift card to Olive Garden (of course!), gift card to AMC theatre, Vacation movie set, Red Bull, popcorn, a SF T-shirt, autographed game-used hat, autographed game-used batting gloves, signed baseball and Brandon's signed pink Mother's Day cleats.
Ali Bumgarner said her basket has a signed Giants hat, a to-go cup with a straw (a type that Madison loves), a game-used bat, a signed baseball, beef jerky, the movie Taken, an iTunes gift card, signed shirt, signed Jesus Calling Devotional book and a signed Bible.
Nicole Vogelsong must have a big basket to fit all this: signed Marucci bat, signed ball & case, SF Giants 2014 Yearbook, SF Giants Metallica Hat, SF Giants Throw Blanket, #32 Vogelstrong T-shirt, Cal Ripken Book, The Dark Knight Trilogy DVD Set, Hoosiers DVD, For Love of the Game DVD, Alter Bridge CD, King James Backpack Bible, Starbucks Travel Cup, $50 Starbucks Gift Card, $25 Under Armour Card, $25 Outback Steakhouse Gift Card, bag of Reese's Pieces, bag of Chocolate Goji Berries, 50-pack of SF Giants Golf Tees and a 3-Pack of SF Giants Golf Balls
Hope you can help us get the word out — and maybe bid on a basket yourself! We want to raise as much as we can for these great organizations that help so many people. Thanks!
Pinch-blogging: Tyler Colvin
My turn to fill in for Belt — a good day to do it because there's no game. I'm hanging out here in Denver after a great weekend with my wife, Molly, in San Francisco. She flew in Friday from Arizona, where we've lived for the past four years. She couldn't come earlier in the week — I was called up from Fresno May 11— because she was putting an offer in on a house in Charleston, S.C. We're expecting our first baby in late October, so we are selling our Mesa house and moving back east to be closer to our families. My family is in North Augusta, S.C., across the border from Augusta, GA. And hers in in West Virginia, about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA.
We already know we're having a boy. They can do DNA tests in the 10th week and find out. Pretty cool. We're still discussing names. When people ask Molly where she'll deliver the baby, she says because it will be during the World Series, she hopes it'll be San Francisco.
In the meantime, we looked this weekend for a place to rent in the city. The problem is we have a 100-pound Greater Swiss Mountain dog, which is basically a short-haired Bernese. Her name is Mya. It's not easy to find a furnished place that will take a huge dog and a short lease. Probably easier to find in the suburbs, but this is one of the greatest cities in the world, so why not enjoy it? I'll look again during the next homestand. I hope Molly and Mya can move here in early June.
I've been encouraged to tell you a little about myself.
- I grew up in North Augusta in my grandparents' home. They mostly raised me because my dad left and my mom was young and working to get an education and a job. My childhood was pretty great. There were big ponds on the property behind my grandparents' house, so when I wasn't playing baseball or doing homework, I was out in our aluminum Jon boat fishing for wide-mouthed bass. Oh, we also bowled a lot. My grandfather and uncle spent a little time in the pro's. Maybe that will be my next career. I already have my own ball and bag.
- Despite my Southern roots, I didn't start hunting until a few months ago. Molly and I spent the Christmas holidays at her family's 100-acre farm in West Virginia. It was the tail end of deer season, so everyone said it was hardly worth going out. But I had all this brand new equipment and clothes so I was out every morning before dawn. I never even saw a deer.
- I went to Clemson, where I met Molly. I was drafted in the first round by the Cubs my junior year. I'm 46 credits short of my business degree, and I promised my mom I'd go back someday.
- My grandparents didn't miss a single game when I was at Clemson — 186 consecutive games. They put 83,000 miles on their van during my three years there, driving to Boston and Miami and Texas and everywhere in-between. I gave my grandpa the ball and bat from my first big-league hit.
- I've had a couple of weird injuries. When I was in Taiwan with Team USA in 2007, I was throwing the ball during batting practice and somehow hit my elbow on a screen. It hurt but I played through the pain in 2008, but finally had to get Tommy John surgery in 2009. Then in September 2010 with the Cubs, I was running from third to home when a shard from a broken bat nailed me in the chest and punctured a lung. I couldn't play the last few weeks of the season.
That's probably more than you ever wanted to know. I'm having a great time with the Giants — it's always more fun when the team's winning and you're able to contribute. But this is also just a real easy team to fit into. And the fans are the best. It's unfortunate that I'm here because Brandon Belt got hurt. But in baseball you make the most of every opportunity.
Thanks for reading. This is a cool way to connect with fans. I'm glad I got to do it.
Pinch-blogging: Tim Hudson
When friends back in Georgia and Alabama ask what it's been like here in San Francisco, I tell them that everything about it's great. The city's awesome. The fans are awesome. The organization does everything right. That's what I heard before I got here, but you have to be here and experience it to really get it. Boch is a manager who makes anyone feel comfortable right away. The whole coaching staff – Righetti, Gardy, Flan, Wotus — they're all that way.
And the clubhouse is all a bunch of nice guys. A pretty good number happen to be from the South. Bumgarner's locker is by mine, so I've had a great time getting to know him. He's even more Southern than I am. He's a cowboy. He comes in here every day in cowboy boots and long Wranglers. He ropes cattle. He's a big tough guy — but with some of the thinnest skin you're ever going to come across. You can really get to him.
As soon as Puig flipped his bat — for example — I thought, "This is not going to be good.'' Bum jawed at Puig, who jawed back. Later in the dugout when we asked what was going on, he said, "I don't even know what was said! I don't even know what I was saying. We were just kind of yelling at each other!''
It was pretty funny because it was so Bum. Of course we continued to prod him because that's what you do. It's one of the things you have to love about baseball.
I'm renting a house near the Presidio. It's been a lot of fun getting to know the Marina and Cow Hollow and checking out some of the great restaurants. I'm still trying to figure it all out — particularly the best way to drive to the field every day. Sometimes it gets a little challenging depending on the time of day. But the discovery process has been fun. And the house is starting to feel a little homier, but it will be a lot better once the family gets out here in a couple weeks.
In the meantime, I've gotten together for lunch a few times with a buddy I know from my Oakland days who lives in the Marina. I've had lunch with a couple of friends from Walnut Creek, too. I found a little breakfast spot I like on Lombard called Home Plate. I didn't go there because of the name. I just Yelped breakfast places, and it was one of the first things that came up.
Some people have asked what it was like going back to Atlanta to play the Braves. It was a little odd being in the opposing dugout. But that's part of baseball. If you play this game long enough, you're going to play for different clubs and play against former teammates. It's one of those things you have to accept. Lucky for me the different club I ended up with was the Giants. The fans here are always so supportive. And right now we're playing some pretty good baseball. So it's always fun to come to the park and suit up because we know we always have a good chance to win. And we always know we'll have a full house. What's better than that?
Thanks for such a warm welcome. I know my family is going to love it here as much as I do.
Your Questions Answered – Brandon Crawford
At least some questions answered. I keep forgetting to save the questions, so when I sit down to do the blog, I don't have them in front of me. I pulled some recent ones.Here goes.
Quick question, where were you during the 2010 World Series?
I spent the off-season that year at Jalynne's parents' house, so that's where I watched most of the Series. We had just won the California League championship. I had spent most of 2010 with the Richmond Double A team. Then I broke my hand and rehabbed with the San Jose Single A team, which happened to be in the playoffs. We won the championship against Mike Trout and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. I didn't know anything about him yet, I just knew he was a prospect. Jalynne and I went to one game at AT&T with tickets we got from Bobby Evans. We were up in the third deck.
What is it like traveling so much and having to adjust to different beds and climates and time zones? Do you ever have issues sleeping? I know I do when I travel. Do you have any special things you do to help adjust?
It is kind of tough to adjust sometimes. The time zone messes me up the most. We'll have a game in Atlanta, let's say, and we'll get back to the hotel around 12 o'clock. I'm still wide awake because it's 9 on the West Coast. To be honest, that happens even when we're home. I can't shut myself off right away after a game. It helps sometimes with the kids because they'll wear me out a little bit and help me sleep. But on the road trips when they're not there, and we're on the East Coast, it's hard to go to sleep. I'll watch a movie or play a video game to wind down and get myself to sleep.
Some guys have trouble with different beds and pillows. But that hasn't affected me that much.
We actually had a sleep doctor come in this spring and talk to us about some of those things. What I remember is you're supposed to stay away from anything with light, which means TV, laptops and video games. But they help shut my brain off, so I still do it. I don't remember what he said about time zones, but I don't think there is really any way to adjust with as much travel as we do.
As for climates, we're used to playing all over. You bring the clothes you need for that trip and you're fine. And playing in San Francisco, we get every climate. Yesterday and today we have hot weather. And obviously we get a lot of cold nights and wind and fog. We get it all.
I have a question about team and/or player study before you actually play the team. For instance, since most of the games this next month are in our division, will you and others spend any amount of time looking at stats/tendencies of players (probably pitchers too) on the Twins, Pirates, Braves or Cubs out in May?
We do that for every series whether it's guys that we've played a lot or teams like the Twins who we play once every three years. I'll go over my positioning at shortstop with bench coach Ron Wotus. He'll also go over the other infielders' positions with me so I can help set them up if necessary. We do a more in-depth meeting the first day of the series. Then we'll meet for a shorter time other days, especially if there's a drastic difference between our starting pitchers. Let's say Timmy's pitching one day and Bum's pitching the next. That's a big difference. Timmy's throwing a lot of sliders right now. And he'll face a different lineup than Bum will face. There will be a lot fewer lefties when Bum's pitching. And he's throwing cutters in on righties, so we'll position a little different for each day.
We also study up on opposing pitchers, too. Bam-Bam has a list of the pitches each guy throws. He'll have us look at it usually during batting practice. If we want to see film, we do that on our own. I usually do, especially with pitchers I haven't see before or only see maybe a couple times. Like the Marlins right now. I'll go into the video room and watch what their pitches do so I'm not seeing it for the first time at the plate.
I also try to look at the bullpen guys, too, though it can get to be too much. I'll focus mostly on their closer and the lefty specialist that I'll probably face.
There were a few questions about the hitting competition.
I'm happy to tell you that Team Brandon won the first month. Angel Pagan (who's not Team Brandon) won top individual honors. Bum was the top pitcher. I think he got more points on the grand slam than the rest of the pitchers combined.
During BP Monday night (in Pittsburgh), a pitcher absolutely laid out for a ball in right center. Everyone went nuts. We could not tell who it was. It seemed like it might have been Lincecum, but I don't want to spread rumors. We were speculating that Bochy was probably not as amused as the rest of us. Can you reveal who it was?
It was Chad Chop, our left-handed batting practice pitcher. Cain bet him he couldn't catch the next ball hit out there. The next ball was hit right to him and he caught it. Cain was like, "No way.'' I don't know if it was Cain or Bum who then bet him he couldn't make a legit diving catch. And the next one was hit out to right-center, and Chad dove and caught it. The cameras are on even during batting practice, and there's like 16 different angles. So we all watched it a bunch of times on the replay monitor in the clubhouse. Chad's the master at replays because he's the one who works the monitor for Shawon Dunston to decide whether to challenge a call. Chad's new this year to the team. He threw batting practice to Hunter this off-season so Hunter could practice against left-handed pitching. I guess Hunter told Bobby Evans about him.
All right, thanks for reading. Keep asking questions. I'll try to answer them more frequently.

Pinch Blogging: Javier Lopez
With Belt on the DL, we're taking turns filling in, so here I am. I'm not a social media guy. I don't do Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or whatever else is out there. But I thought it might be interesting to tell you a little about the bullpen.
Relievers are kind of a family within a family. Like our own band of brothers. We know we'll be facing some pretty stressful situations later in the game, so in the early innings we keep things really loose and light-hearted. We'll bring up some topic — maybe current events, something that happened the night before, something in the game at the moment — and we get the banter going.
Let's say Santiago Casilla made a nice play on a come-backer the night before. He's normally not a great fielder, so we start making fun of him for that. And he gets playfully defensive about it.
You can imagine the field day we had with Machi after his bunt in Pittsburgh. We all know he's a good athlete even if he doesn't look it, but we kidded him about not knowing how to hold the bat and about chugging down the baseline to first. Casilla promptly said he was faster than Machi, and Machi countered that not only was he faster than Casilla, he was the fastest in the bullpen.
I chime in and say I can take either of them. So someone says, "OK, we'll have a footrace.''
You'll be relieved to know cooler heads prevailed. One of us would have gotten hurt, no question. (This is where I could take a cheap shot at Affeldt, but you're already thinking it so I don't have to.)
In any event, Machi was upset he didn't get a hit on the bunt.
"A hit?'' we said. "The ball beat you to the bag! How is that a hit?''
You get the idea.
This is a different bullpen than I've been a part of. It's very international with a lot of Venezuelans. There are no cliques. That's one of the things that makes it pretty special. We spend some time learning English, some time learning Spanish. Casilla is one of my favorites because he genuinely tries to learn English. He's always learning a couple of new phrases, and he has a few he goes to all the time.
The Venezuelan guys tell a lot of stories about the winter league down there. Machi told me Panda doesn't talk in the Venezuelan league. He is not vocal at all, contrary to the singing, laughing character we see (and hear) in our locker room. Machi said it's because there's a pretty strict hierarchy down there, and Panda's still considered a young guy. I found this hard to believe, but Gutierrez and Petit said it was true.
It's kind of the reverse for Machi here: He doesn't have a lot of time in the big leagues, so he doesn't talk a lot. He's talkative around us, but if you were to walk into the locker room he's a pretty quiet guy.
Another thing I didn't know that I learned in the bullpen: Even though Machi has been a closer in Venezuela for four years, he didn't have a save in the big leagues. I had just assumed last year he must have gotten one with us at some point. (Shows you how much I really remember about our games.) He already had five wins but he really, really wanted a save in the big leagues. And he got one during the last road trip in LA. To see him do it, knowing how much it meant to him, was pretty neat.
So all this talking among the relievers is great, but what if there is no bullpen, like here at AT&T Park? The joking and laughing don't go over real well in the dugout. We have to be kind of careful. At the start of the game, we park ourselves at the far left of the dugout, up by the rail. The coaches are at the opposite end, and the position players are usually on the bench against the wall.
At some point, we usually make our way to a small room at the bottom of the stairs (behind the dugout), where we can watch the game on TV and not bother anyone.
I don't want you to think we don't talk about baseball. We talk about situations that might have come up the previous night, and maybe there's a similar situation today and Bochy has decided to go with a different pitcher. We'll talk about different strategies and ask each other what we'd do against this hitter or that one. It's always good to have Plan A but sometimes you need Plan B, C and D. So it's nice to bounce stuff off each other.
The best thing about our bullpen is that we realize we're in this together, and we have each other's backs.
Thanks for reading. Now when you see a shot of us on TV in the early innings, you know we're enjoying each other's company and keeping things loose. Until the bullpen phone rings and everything changes.
Laying Low For Now – Brandon Belt
Thanks to everyone for their messages of encouragement. I got through surgery fine this morning and I'm following doctor's orders to take it easy today. For the next couple of months, I'll be focusing on rehabbing my thumb and staying in shape so I can get back on the field as soon as possible.
So I'm going to turn the blog over to my teammates while I'm rehabbing. I might throw in an occasional update, but believe me, it will be way more interesting to hear from the guys who are actually playing.
Thanks again for all the good wishes. You guys are awesome.

Belt is Not the Only Bambino – Brandon Crawford
I just had a late breakfast with my sister Amy and her boyfriend, Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole. Amy is here in Pittsburgh for the week to see him (she lives in Newport Beach) and timed it for when the Giants would be in town. Great to see them both.
Crazy series in Atlanta. Such close games. We drove in exactly zero runners in scoring position. We scored just nine runs. And we still swept.
You know it's crazy when I hit two home runs in a game.
It was reported that I had never hit two in a Major League game. That is true. So is this: I had never hit two home runs in a high school game, a college game, or a minor league game.
The only time I hit two home runs before yesterday was in 2008 in the Dominican instructional league. I had been drafted in June of that year and signed in August. I hurt my ankle so I didn't get to play much in the Arizona instructional league. So the Giants sent me to the Dominican instructional league in October to get more at-bats. I was the only American on the team. I could see the Latin guys eyeing me like, "Who's this white guy?''
Then I hit two home runs in my first two at-bats. Granted, it was kind of a small field and the pitching isn't great at that level. But two home runs are two home runs. I don't think those stats get recorded anywhere, but I have witnesses: Hector Sanchez and Ehire Adrianza were on that team, too
The second homer yesterday was kind of interesting because the pitcher, Jordan Walden, literally jumps off the mound. And he has a hitch when he jumps, which screws with your timing as a hitter. I remember facing him last year. When he was jumping at me, I found myself kind of jumping back at him. Which meant his fastball was even faster.
Yesterday on deck I watched his delivery to see when I wanted to stride. Hicks had a good at-bat in front of me, so I saw a lot of pitches. I told myself to have a slow body and just let my hands react. I felt a little jumpy the first couple pitches and had two checked swings. In retrospect, it was good that the second checked swing was called a strike. Otherwise I would have had a 3-0 count and had to take the next pitch. Instead, it was 2-1 and Walden grooved a 96-mph fastball. I let my hands react. And there you go.
I get more satisfaction about my defense, though. I think I've talked about this before. I play it pretty cool when I make a good play. I usually keep my game face on. But Saturday I couldn't help smiling because Hicks just gave me a look. I was able to stop Evan Gattis's grounder up the middle in the top of the ninth Friday night to help preserve our 2-1 lead. Then I stopped Andrelton Simmons' grounder up the middle to end Saturday's game. Hicks just looked at me and smiled and said, "You did it again!'' You can see in the video that I cracked a smile.
The tough part of that play is the throw. Your head is turned away from first base when you start into your throw. But you know that first base hasn't moved. You know where it is. And I've practiced plays like that. The key is to throw hard to beat the runner.
Do I ever surprise myself? Sometimes. But you prepare for plays like that. I feel I should make plays like that.
Thanks for reading. Looks like it might rain here. Can't wait to get home to our park. And to my girls. Jalynne said Braylyn's molars are coming in. Not very exciting news, I know. But you parents understand.
-Brandon C.

BMW Fighting MINI Recall
Sections: R56 (Hatch), Recalls/Campaigns Dec 10th, 2008 57 Comments
NHTSA announced on Friday that it will hold a public meeting Dec. 17 and take comments until Dec. 12 on its Initial Decision that model year 2007 and certain MY 2008 Mini Cooper S vehicles contain a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Notified of this, BMW said it would not conduct a safety recall and instead has started a service campaign, which NHTSA has rejected, the notice stated.
The alleged defect is in the vehicles' exhaust pipe tips. NHTSA said its Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) and BMW "have received numerous complaints indicating that consumers' legs have been burned while they access the rear cargo area of the subject vehicles via the rear hatchback shortly after the vehicles have been driven. As reflected by the complaints, people accessing the cargo area naturally place their legs at the rear of the vehicle. People are burned as they inadvertently contact either of the two hot exhaust pipe tips while removing items from, or placing items in, the rear cargo area. Some of the burn injuries are significant second degree burns, causing blistered skin or scarring, often in a half-moon shape pattern matching the approximately 2 3/4-inch diameter of the exhaust tips.

The other features in WordPress 4.0 are also cool. Being able to more easily work with the media library will be nice. Having the embeds automagically appear in the post without needing to preview will also help save time and let you know how the post will look. Improving the plugin directory is nice, too, although right now I'm pretty set with the plugins I need on my various sites.
It's the improved editing experience that I'm really looking forward to using more. I've already upgraded several of my sites and I like the experience so far. Tomorrow I'll upgrade Deploy360 which is where I expect to reap the biggest benefit.
What about you? Have you upgraded yet? Do you like it? (Keeping in mind that there is nothing special about WordPress "4.0" other than that it is the release between "3.9" and "4.1"... i.e. it's not a "big" release but rather just another "regular" WordPress release.)
Here's the WordPress 4.0 release video showing some of the new features:

Taos Pueblo (or Pueblo de Taos) is an ancient pueblo belonging to a Taos (Northern Tiwa) speaking Native American tribe of Pueblo people. It is approximately 1000 years old and lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the modern city of Taos, New Mexico, USA. They are considered to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States.[3]
Taos Pueblo is a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos. The Taos community is known for being one of the most private, secretive, and conservative pueblos. A reservation of 95,000 acres (384 km²) is attached to the pueblo, and about 4,500 people live in this area.[4]
The Rio Pueblo de Taos, also called Rio Pueblo and Red Willow Creek, is a small stream which flows through the middle of the pueblo compound. It comes from headwaters in the nearby Taos Mountains of the Sangre de Cristo Range.[citation needed]
Taos Pueblo's most prominent architectural feature is a multi-storied residential complex of reddish-brown adobe divided into two parts by the Rio Pueblo. The Pueblo's website states it was probably built between 1000 and 1450 CE.[4]
The pueblo was designated a National Historic Landmark on October 9, 1960, and in 1992 became a World Heritage Site. As of 2006, about 150 people live in the historic complex full-time.[4]
In the Taos language, the pueblo is referred to as "the village" in either tə̂otho "in the village" (tə̂o- "village" + -tho "in") or tə̂obo "to/toward the village" (tə̂o- "village" + -bo "to, toward"). The proper name of the pueblo is ȉałopháymųp'ȍhə́othə̀olbo "at red willow canyon mouth" (or ȉałopháybo "at the red willows" for short);[5] however, this name is more commonly used in ceremonial contexts and is less common in everyday speech.
The name Taos in English was borrowed from Spanish Taos. Spanish Taos is probably a borrowing of Taos tə̂o- "village" which was heard as tao to which the plural -s was added although in the modern language Taos is no longer a plural noun. The idea that Spanish Taos is from tao "cross of the order of San Juan de los Cabelleros" (from Greek tau) is unlikely.[6]
Most archeologists believe that the Taos Indians along with other Pueblo Indians settled along the Rio Grande migrated from the Four Corners region.[7] The dwellings of that region were inhabited by the Ancient Pueblo Peoples (Anasazi), and a long drought in the area in the late 13th century may have caused them to move to the Rio Grande where the water supply was more dependable.
Throughout its early years, Taos Pueblo was a central point of trade between the native populations along the Rio Grande and their neighbors to the northeast, the Plains Tribes. Taos Pueblo hosted a trade fair each fall after the agricultural harvest.[8]
The first Spanish visitors to Taos Pueblo arrived in 1540 as members of the Francisco Vásquez de Coronado expedition, which stopped at many of New Mexico's pueblos in search of the rumored Seven Cities of Gold. Around 1620, the first Catholic Church in the pueblo, San Geronimo de Taos, was constructed. Reports from the period indicate that the native people of Taos resisted the building of the church and the imposition of the Catholic religion. Throughout the 1600s, cultural tensions grew between the native populations of the Southwest and the increasing Spanish presence. Taos Pueblo was no exception, and by 1660, the native people killed the resident priest and destroyed the church. Only several years after its rebuilding, the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 began and the Taos Indians again destroyed San Geronimo and killed two other priests.[8]
By the turn of the 18th century, San Geronimo de Taos was under construction for a third time, and Spanish/native relations within the pueblo became amicable for a brief period as both groups found a common enemy in invading Ute and Comanche tribes. Resistance to Catholicism and Spanish culture was still strong. Even so, Spanish religious ideals and agricultural practices subtly worked their way into the Taos community, largely starting during this time of increased cooperation between the two cultural groups.[8]
New Mexico formally became a territory of the United States in 1847 with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, but a revolt broke out in Taos Pueblo. Mexican Pablo Montoya and Tomasito, a leader at Taos Pueblo, led a force of Mexicans and Indians who did not want to become a part of the United States. They managed to kill Governor Charles Bent and others and marched on Santa Fe, but were finally subdued after taking refuge in the ill-fated San Geronimo Mission Church. The American troops bombarded the church, killing or capturing the insurrectionists and destroying the physical structure. Around 1850, an entirely new mission church was constructed near the west gate of the pueblo wall. The ruins of the original church and its 1850s replacement are both still visible inside the pueblo wall today.[8] "The Padre of Isleta", Anton Docher first served as a priest in Taos before his long time spent in Isleta.[9]
In 1924-25 their culture was studied by Carl Jung who visited the Pueblo led by Ochwiay Biano.[citation needed]
The Pueblo's 48,000 acres (194 km²) of mountain land was taken by President Theodore Roosevelt and designated as the Carson National Forest early in the 20th century. It was finally returned in 1970 by President Nixon.[10] An additional 764 acres (3.09 km2) south of the ridge between Simpson Peak and Old Mike Peak and west of Blue Lake were transferred back to the Pueblo in 1996.[11]
Blue Lake, which the people of the Pueblo traditionally consider sacred, was included in this return of Taos land. The Pueblo's web site names the acquisition of the sacred Blue Lake as the most important event in its history due to the spiritual belief that the Taos natives originated from the lake itself.[12]
At the time of the Spaniards' initial contact, Hernando de Alvarado described the pueblo as having adobe houses built very close together and stacked five or six stories high. The homes became narrower as they rose, with the roofs of each level providing the floors and terraces for those above.[8]
The buildings at Taos originally had few windows and no standard doorways. Instead, access to rooms was through square holes in the roof that the people reached by climbing long, wooden ladders. Cedar logs (or vigas) supported roofs that had layers of branches, grass, mud, and plaster covering them. The architecture and the building materials were well suited for the rigors of the environment and the needs of the people in the Taos Valley.[8]
The first Spanish-influenced architecture appeared in Taos Pueblo after Fray Francisco de Zamora came there in 1598 to establish a mission, under orders from Spanish Governor, Don Juan de Oñate.[8]

The pueblo wall completely encloses the village except at the entrance as a symbol of the village boundaries. Now rather short, the wall used to be much taller for protection against surrounding tribes.
The north-side Pueblo is said to be one of the most photographed and painted buildings in North America.[13] It is the largest multistoried Pueblo structure still existing. It is made of adobe walls that are often several feet thick. Its primary purpose was for defense.[7] Up to as late as 1900, access to the rooms on lower floors was by ladders on the outside to the roof, and then down an inside ladder. In case of an attack, outside ladders could easily be pulled up.
The homes in this structure usually consist of two rooms, one of which is for general living and sleeping, and the second of which is for cooking, eating, and storage. Each home is self-contained; there are no passageways between the houses. Taos Indians made little use of furniture in the past, but today they have tables, chairs, and beds. In the pueblo, electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing are prohibited.[7]
Two spiritual practices are represented in the Pueblo: the original indigenous spiritual and religious tradition[4] and Roman Catholicism. The majority of Taos Indians practice their still-vital, ancient indigenous religion.[7] Most (90%) members of the Taos Pueblo community are baptized as Roman Catholics.[4] Saint Jerome, or San Geronimo, is the patron saint of the pueblo.[14]

The deep feeling of belonging to a community, summed up in their phrase, "we are in one nest," has held the Taos people together. Both men and women are expected to offer their services or "community duties," when needed. One should be cooperative and never allow one's own desires to be destructive of the community's interest.

One of Taos's strongest institutions is the family. Descent on both the father and the mother's side of the family is equally recognized. Each primary family lives in a separate dwelling so when a couple gets married, they move to their own home. With relatives so near by, everyone is available to help care for the children. The elderly teach the young the values and traditions that have been handed down, which protects the integrity of the Taos culture.
