Tunnel Of Love
It's Product Review Friday and this week we have a review of yet another innovative product from the creative folks at Perfect Fit Brand.
This is our 3rd Perfect Fit Brand review and there are plenty more to come. To keep track of all our PFB reviews use the search function in the header of DrDickSexToyReviews.com, type in Perfect Fit Brand, and PRESTO!
Alrighty then, lets check in with Dr Dick Review Crew members, Mick & Chuck, to see what they've been up to.
Tunnel Plug — $44.95
Mick & Chuck
Mick: "'Wait a minute! Are you telling me someone's gone and fiddled with one of the most basic sex toys ever? I hope to god they didn't fuck it up.' That was me on the telephone with Dr Dick when he asked if Chuck and I would be up for reviewing the revolutionary Tunnel Plug."
Chuck: "I was like totally down with at least taking a look at it. But I was simply going on the other Perfect Fit Brand reviews posted here and I figured, how bad could it be? Besides, there are loads of different kinds of plugs out there."
Mick: "Yeah, there is! But a plug's a plug, right? And my thoughts were, well if it works why fix it? As fate would have it, all my worry was for nothing, because even though the Tunnel Plug is revolutionary, it still is very much a plug. It has all the features of the traditional design — the insertable part is a tapered cone or bulb shape, designed for easy insertion and giving you that all-filled-up feeling while it's in place. The plug tapers more dramatically near the base into a notch. This allows your sphincter muscle to close down on the plug keeping it firmly in place. Finally the wide base keeps it from slipping inside your bum."
Chuck: "Ok, so let's tell everyone how the Tunnel Plug is different from every other butt plug we've ever see. Most of the butt plugs I'm familiar with are made of a solid material — glass, metal, wood, rubber, etc. You can't have something really squishy, because you could never get it in your ass. The Tunnel Plug is firm, but flexible. It's even got a little stretch to it. It's made of a proprietary material called PFBlend. It stretches like TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubber), but it is safe and durable like silicone."
Mick: "The next obvious difference between this plug and all the rest is the center is hallow. I know, why didn't someone think of this sooner? It is the perfect convenience. Instead of just plugging your hole, you can open it too. The tunnel hole goes right through the core of the Tunnel Plug. So once I had the Tunnel Plug in my ass, I inserted a slim vibrating dildo in the center of the plug and I was happy as a pig in shit!"
Chuck: "It's also ideal for keeping your hole open for a quick douche. The hose or nozzle fits right in the hollow center. And think of all the enema play fun you can have. You can insert a finger too. And if you have a little penlight flashlight you can shine a light in the very place where the sun don't shine. I did this while the Tunnel Plug was in Mick's ass. I mean, I had never seen the inside of a guy's hole before. It's kinda breath-taking actually."
Mick: "Not to be undone by Chuck's creativity, I decided to make the Tunnel Plug part of my Halloween costume this year. I found this faux-fur foxtail (Try saying that three times fast.) at a costume store here in town. I fastened it to a wooden dowel from the hardware store and inserted the dowel into the hallow center of the Tunnel Plug. It looked fantastic, if I have to say so myself."
Chuck: "We need to submit that costume suggestion to the DIY site!"
Mick: "The point is, the Tunnel Plug allows you to be creative in your anal play. I decided that some sensation play might be nice. A trickle of chilled (not ice cold) water through the hallow center was both startling and amazing. What a unique feeling. The fact that the plug gives you this filled up sensation while allowing you to add another sensation is like WOW!"
Chuck: "The Tunnel Plug comes in two sizes — (Small/Medium): 3″ total length, 2.75″ insertable length, 2″ in width, and 6.25″ in circumference and (Medium/Large): 3.5″ total length, 3″ insertable length, 2.5″ in width, and 8″ in circumference."
Mick: "You can use any type of lube you want wit the Tunnel Plug. And clean up is a snap. Because the PFBlend material is nonporous, everyday cleanup with a mild soap and hot water is fine. However, if you're gonna share your toys sanitizing is highly recommended. You can drop the Tunnel Plug in a pot of boiling water for a couple minutes, then let it air dry. You can also wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution."

Santa Baby!
Hey sex fans,
It's Black Friday; the day the holiday shopping madness starts in earnest. I know some of you live for this time of the year, so The Dr Dick Review Crew will do our part. This is Week 3 of this our Holiday Gift Giving Guide.
This week we will hear from Review Crew members: Denise, Jack & Karen and Gina & Kevin.
First up, our friends and neighbors (BC, Canada), the extraordinary women at Eros & Isis send a work of art.
Sweet Pea —— $68.00
I have the pleasure of introducing you to a luscious little playmate, Sweet Pea, from a fantastic new company in British Columbia, Canada, Eros & Isis. It's such a rare find to discover a boutique adult products company. I am so over the cookie-cutter, mass-produced stuff made of dubious materials that floods the marketplace. How refreshing to discover a manufacturer with an environmental consciousness. Long live Eros & Isis!
Sweet Pea is a petite, 3.5" x 2.5", bulbous headed vibe made of 100% platinum silicone. It's completely safe and non-toxic, which includes the natural mineral pigment embedded into the silicone to achieve the antique look of their toys. It is meticulously sculpted, molded and cast by hand to appear as a turn of the century collectible. It really is unique. I haven't seen its like anywhere else.
Sweet Pea features a removable one-speed bullet vibrator that can be replaced or upgraded to any bullet-style unit. The bullet come packed with batteries, I'm happy to report. So your first ride is on the house. You can use Sweet Pea externally, but I prefer it as a pussy plug. The sculpted base delivers delicious stimulation to my lips and clit. And it is so soft and comfortable I can wear for an extended time. Very nice!
There's a bit of a secret to removing bullet vibe from the base for cleanup or when you need to change the batteries. Simply add a few drops of water-based lube between the vibe and the hole it's in. Remember only water-based lube on a beautiful silicone toy like this. Work the lube around a little; apply pressure to the base of the toy above the vibe and PRESTO! The vibe pops out.
Sweet Pea is just one of the gorgeous Eros & Isis toys and each is available in Gold, Silver, and Jade. The silicone makes the toys easy to clean with soap and water. But it also can be sterilized in boiling water or in the dishwasher; sans the vibe, of course.
Next, we have another Good Vibrations Ambassador Review.
Smartballs Teneo UNO & DUO —— $34.00 & $44.00
Gina & Kevin
Kevin: "Smartballs Teneo are Fun Factory's take on a very old idea, Ben Wa Balls. You know what those are, right? They are insertable balls that were invented hundreds of years ago, to enhance sexual stimulation and to exercise a woman's PC muscles (pubococcygeus muscle). But since men have PC muscles too, I wanted to join in the fun. In other words, you do your Kegel exercises with these babies while they are inserted vaginally or, in my case, anally."
Gina: "Smartballs are discreet. And as Kevin suggests, they are both pleasurable and therapeutic."
Kevin: "Remember, the more Kegels you do, the more intense your orgasms are. And this is true for both women and men."
Gina: "You simply insert the Smartballs Teneo UNO into your vagina.
Kevin: "Or the Smartballs Teneo DUO into your ass. Or the other way around."
Gina: "Each Smartball unit has a finger groove for easy insertion and a tether that makes for easy removal. You'll want to use some lube when inserting. And since these products are made of silicone, you can only use a water-based lube with them."
Kevin: "Here's the special part. Each Smartball has an inner ball that creates the a sweetest vibration sensation."
Gina: "They aren't as heavy a ball as I am used to, but they are comfortable to wear. And you can wear these for hours, if you'd like. Take them dancing, to the grocery or for a walk in the park. Every movement gives you pleasure while strengthening your PC muscles."
Kevin: "They are extremely durable and easy to clean. You can sterilize them in boiling water or pop 'em in the dishwasher, which makes the Smartballs Teneo shareable. You can also wipe them down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution. Or just use soap and warm water for a quick cleanup."
Gina: "I like to masturbate with the Smartballs. My orgasms are more intense, because my vaginal muscles contract around the vibrating balls. Regular use can also help prevent stress incontinence."
Kevin: "And I like to squeeze one off with a ball or two in my ass. They provide very pleasant prostate stimulation. And ya never have to change batteries or wait for a recharge."
Finally, the last in our series of Tristan Taormino's educational and enrichment videos.
Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men —— $29.95
Jack & Karen
Jack: "We're back with another butt sex video. If you remember, last time we reviewed: The Expert Guide to Anal Sex. I was all bummed out because that video didn't include men as the receiving partners in anal sex. How was I supposed to know that there was an entire video in this series that was all about pegging your guy?"
Karen: "Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men is just what we've been looking for."
Jack: "The disc starts out with a tutorial on the subject of male anal stimulation and goes from the anatomy itself through the actual processes involved. And our favorite ass-mistress, Tristan Taormino, is the host of this portion of the film."
Karen: "Then there are three sex scenes. The first involves Penny Flame and Devin. Tristan is there in an advisory role for the opening portion of the scene. Penny uses her fingers, a butt-plug, and a couple of strap-ons on Devin. This is the part that interested me the most."
Jack: "Annie Cruz and Nomad are up next. She finger fucks her guy with up to four of them at once. DAMN! She also uses a bead-like butt-plug, an even large butt-plug, and a strap-on on him. Nomad fingers and fucks Annie's ass with a glass dildo while she jills-off with vibrator. Very Hot!"
Karen: "I like the give and take between these two performers."
Jack: "The third scene features Jandi Lin and Christian. Christian takes Jandi's fingers, a metal butt-plug, a glass-like butt-plug and a, curved black prostate stimulator in his ass. Jandi rims him a bit, although not convincingly. Unfortunately there is no strap-on use here."
Karen: "There was a bunch of stuff in this scene that I didn't like. They had to do with exchanging bodily fluids, if you know what I mean. I agree with Jack, the connection between the two performers seemed a little contrived."
Jack: "There are also tutorials in the bonus section. They include; Safer Sex, How to Choose & Wear A Strap-On, Solo Prostate Stimulation—involving the guys from the movie, and Anal Hygiene and Enemas—featuring the gals. This was just the stuff I had been looking for. Some may find the tutorials a bit dry, especially if you're watching this for the porn value. But I think it's important stuff to know, particularly for men, like me, who about to make the anal plunge."
Take A Deep Breath
Name: Jake
Age: 18
Location: London
I have never had sex mostly because I have never managed to approach the person. I am bisexual and am desperate to have sex with a guy or girl. What are the best ways to approach someone for sex?
Can't manage to approach a person for sex? Are you just really shy, or are you a total geek? Either way, my friend, you gotta get over yourself if you ever hope to get laid. And here's a tip: perspective partners can smell desperation, like the kind you speak of, a mile away. And they will avoid you like the plague.
Ok, so you're just 18 without a lot of experience in the ways of the world. Here's what I tell everyone who asks me this question, regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. When it comes to asking for sex; the direct approach works best. Just so long as you're not a dick about it. If you haven't already discovered this, baggin a bird will probably take a bit more finesse than pokin' on a bloke. And coming on to a mate demands a different approach than hittin' up a stranger for a shag.
If there's a bit of charm about you, your task will be considerably easier than if you are a crude Neanderthal who just wants to notch his belt. If you're not sure what your selling points are, ask a friend for his or her feedback. If he or she tells you nice things bout yourself, you might be in luck. If he or she tells you that you're a charmless creep, you'll have your work cut out for you.
Regardless what group you fall into — the "maybe fuckable", or the "not fucking ever", you can always improve your image and hone your unique style. Look to how you present yourself; make sure you are groomed, clean and odor-free. Dress to impress. Stay clear of fancy or fussy, but do make it look like you gave your cloths a thought before you dressed yourself. Make yourself interesting; have a point of view, but share it sparingly. Develop a sense of humor about yourself. If you can't be clever or witty, then keep your mouth shut for the most part.
The internet is a great place to test the waters. Dating and hook-up sites abound. Put up a profile…with a photo or two. Here's a tip, save the dick pics for the queer sites. Women don't want to see your pathetic willie, at least not right away. And like I said above, there's nothing more unattractive to most women, or men, than a desperate fuck. Asking for what you want is good, pleading to be taken out of pity is not!
Few women are as casual about sex as are most men. So if a woman tells you no, she just may be shy, or not ready, or not sure. If a guy tell you no, it's not the end of the world. He's probably not into your type. Since there are so many fish in the sea, if you're not immediately successful, move on. Sometimes getting laid is a situational thing. Being in the right place at the right time is helpful.
Chicks are gonna be concerned about the whole pregnancy thing. This is much more serious concern for a woman then for a dude. If you're not well versed on all methods of contraception and willing to practice at least one, you're not ready to have sex. Sexually transmitted infections ought to be a concern for you both. Don't be a fuck-up; always use a condom regardless of your partner's gender.
If you're dick is hard, it's not the right time to talk about sex with a woman, but it might be the best time to hit up a dude. Women don't necessarily like the lean and hungry look. Men tend to groove on it.
There are lots of different ways to have sex, so what might be appealing to one person may not be to another. Hand jobs and/or blow jobs are often more easy to cum by than full-on fucking with both birds and blokes.
In the end, there no standard way to ask for sex, but if you treat a prospective partner, regardless of gender, with respect, honesty, and patience, you can be sure whatever words you use will be more effective than if you're an uncouth lout.

I recently had abdominal surgery to remove a cancer. I'm recovering pretty well, and the prognosis for my future is also pretty good. But I am noticing two problems. The surgery left a really big scar. It's still not fully healed yet, but I can tell it's always going to be ugly. And my belly is really misshapen now. I felt pretty okay about my body before hand, but this scar really makes me look really unattractive. Also, my sex drive has completely gone away. I used to be a pretty sexual person, but now nothing excites me. Would you say this is normal?
How long ago was your surgery, I wonder? It's got to be pretty recent, if you say the incision is still healing.
Darlin', may I suggest that you've been through quite a trauma — a cancer diagnosis, recent surgery and all. This would throw anyone for a loop. I'd be willing to guess you've not had the proper time to process all of this. It comes as no surprise to me that your libido has gone south. I wouldn't expect otherwise.
If you're still healing on the outside, you know for sure your insides have a much longer way to go. You're probably still feeling some discomfort, right? That's enough to put the kibosh on sexual interest right there. You're body is consumed with the job of healing itself. It probably hasn't any energy to spare for sex. And why have a libido if ya can't be sexual, right? So you see, your body is actually protecting itself and concentrating on the task at hand.
Maybe at this point in your recovery a little pampering would be better for you than a pursuit of sexual pleasure. Long luxurious baths will help soothe the tension, as well as giving your easy access to your fine pussy. Even folks with no discernable libido find touching themselves enjoyable. And just to keep your head in the game, even though you're sitting on the sidelines, you could read some erotica or watch some sexy smut.
Some modest exercise like walking or swimming can perk up the libido too. Treat yourself to an erotic massage. Let a pro get his or her hands on you and make you glow. This may also help bring back some of the sensitivity to areas effected by the surgery. One things for sure, doing something is better than doing nothing but sitting there wondering what's up.
An invasive and disfiguring surgery will always have a profound effect on one's body image, which goes without saying. Feeling unattractive because of a scar? No doubt about it, it's a bummer. But here you are writing to me about it, instead of napping six-feet under. So I guess the scar is not the worst thing that could have happened, right? As you probably know, I'm hearing from a number of my country's war vets returning home with shattered bodies and lives. My advice to them is what I offer you now. Move through the scar's impact…with a therapist if need be. And find within yourself the other things that make you beautiful, attractive, alluring and desirable. Who knows, you might luck out and find a scar fetishist out there who will worship you for what you find loathsome.
Embracing and then moving past your scaring will open you to find the myriad pleasures your body can still provide you and others. So while your body works on healing itself, your mind can do likewise. No need to have two scars, on one your belly and another one on your psyche. In the end you may find that flaunting your scar, like some women do with their mastectomy scars, will liberate you from feeling unattractive. After all, that scare and misshapen abdomen are your red badges of courage, honey. Not only do they make you distinct, but also they testify to you being a survivor.

This is a rather disgusting question. I am a gay male who prefers to be the bottom. The trouble is that even if I perform an enema right before sex, I still seem to get some excrement onto my partner's penis during sex. It just seems that the feeling of the motion back and forth inside of me causes a sensation that makes something come out. The odor is, at times, unpleasant and I, of course, am mortified. I wonder if this is a common problem and if there is anything else I can do to PREVENT this from happening?? Could it perhaps be my diet? Do I need to drink more water?
YIKES! You sound like a real attractive guy, David. Just kidding!
If you are douching properly before the butt fucking there shouldn't be much seepage if any. Maybe you're not taking care of business correctly. Or maybe you need to douche twice. Or maybe you're being fucked too hard. I know that a vigorous fucking will introduce more air into the bottom's rectum expanding it and making for that "OMG, I gotta take a dump" feeling.
I understand you being mortified; a smelly dirty fuck is no fun for anyone. That being said, you have to realize your bowels are working properly, so it's not their fault. Just remember, there will inevitably be some unpleasant side effects when rootin' around in someone's hole, regardless how fastidious the bottom is about his hygiene.
I'm not sure I see the connection between diet and hydration and messy fucking, but hell, I'd try just about anything to keep from embarrassing myself when my toes are pointed to jesus!

I recently went to get a massage with a "happy ending" As soon as the girl started to fondle me I came and I did not even have an erection yet. I never have this problem with my wife or past girlfriends. Why did this happen? It sure cost a lot of money for about five minutes with this "lady". Thanks
Well, let's see…either this "masseuse" (and I use that term very loosely) was amazingly talented, or you were just real nervous about doing this naughty thing with someone other than your wife.
Hmmm, I bet it was the later.
Here's a tip, always get the massage first…before the happy ending. If the first thing that happens is the happy ending, then you got gypped, darlin'!
Name: Marion
Gender: female
Age: 32
Location: NYC
I'm 34 and single. After 15 years of unsuccessful dating, searching for the right guy to marry and raise a family with, I decided to go it alone. I'm 2 months pregnant through artificial insemination. You'll love this; the donor is my best gay pal. I am absolutely delighted and cherish the thought of finally being a mother. While a lot of the guys I've been dating aren't father material, they are great sex and I don't want to continue to enjoy their company. I gather that it's safe to have sex during pregnancy. But is there anything I should avoid? Are there specific sexual positions that better suit a mommy-to-be like me?
Hey, congratulations on the bun in the oven, darlin'. And how true about some men being great in the sack, but not desirable husband and/or father material. I know several gay men who have helped out a long-suffering straight and lesbian friends with the whole breeding thing. Us "mos" are so selfless in that regard.
It's difficult to find accurate and unambiguous information about sex during pregnancy that doesn't have a decidedly sex-negative bias to it. For the most part, our culture promotes the message that sex is primarily for procreation. Why then would any responsible mother to be continue to have sex if she's already knocked up? You can see where a lot of the misconceptions, misinformation and scare tactics come from, huh?
So let's see if we can shed some light on this for ya. As a pregnancy advances, the fertilized egg grows into an embryo and then into a fetus. The fetus is encased in and protected by the amniotic cavity. This provides the fetus nourishment and protects it from infections. A thick layer of mucus seals the cervix further isolating the fetus in the mother's uterus.
If you're having a normal pregnancy, as do most women, then there is no reason to alter your sex life during your pregnancy. Since this is your first, you'll not know this, but a woman who has a history of premature birth may be advised by her physician to abstain from partnered sex during the last three months of pregnancy. In the same way, a woman with a history of miscarriage will probably be advised to avoid partnered sex in the first trimester. Only women with high-risk pregnancies might be advised to avoid sex for the full term of the pregnancy.
Nature provides all protection the fetus needs in its mother's uterus. So you don't need to worry about semen or vaginal fluids coming into contact with the baby. And the mucus seal on your cervix does not allow a penis to come in direct contact with the fetus either. Which dispels several misconceptions right there, don't cha know.
In terms of pregnancy related sex, I suspect that your libido will probably play a more determining role in your availability for sex than you capacity to have sex. Your libido will no doubt fluctuate during your pregnancy, which may have a lot to do with hormonal fluctuations. Increased blood circulation in your pelvic region will heighten sensations, but you may find your body feels too heavy to fully enjoy sex.
Most men will love your bigger tits and fuller hips, but sometimes an overriding concern to avoid any exertion on the uterus or in the vagina makes partnered sex too cumbersome.
Sex during pregnancy, like sex after menopause, is free of worry about contraception, which makes sex more enjoyable for some. While others are too busy anticipating the new addition to be much interested in sex at all.
In terms of sexual positions, you're gonna be the best judge of that. No position is automatically ruled out, but as your pregnancy progresses you'll find some positions, like the missionary position, will be uncomfortable. One of the best positions might be the woman on top position. Sometimes known as the Cowgirl position. This position takes all of the pressure off of the woman's abdomen, and also allows her to control the speed and the depth of thrusting.
And if you are a fan of anal sex; that will continue to be a terrific option throughout your pregnancy, particularly doggie style. Some pregnant women claim that butt fucking actually helps soothe their pregnancy induced hemorrhoids. In your final weeks mutual masturbation may be the easiest option as well as the most satisfying sexual outlet.
Good Luck ya'll

Singapore is a true melting pot. In every kitchen, you'll find time honored traditions from around the world, especially India, China, Malaysia, and Europe. Today's recipe, Kaya, belies the British influence on the islands. Think tea time and crumpets. But Asian-style. Here's the skinny: Kaya is Coconut Curd. Curd is a spread that's thickened with egg yolks... In this sense, Kaya is just like Britain's much adored lemon curd, but with the hauntingly addictive flavor of rich, velvety … [Read more...]
Recipe: Sweet Potato Frittata
Ava grabbed the small, purple step stool and placed it squarely in front of the kitchen counter. She's gone through a growth spurt lately and yet my little girl still stands on her tippy toes to see into the mixing bowl. On days like today, when I see her eyes peep over the top of the bowl and grow wide with delight, I hope she never grows up. With quick jabs of her whisk, she pops the yolks and helps stir together the frittata mixture. In the background we hear the delicous sizzle of … [Read more...]
Recipe: Cocoa Tea
When I told Ava that the fine people of Saint Lucia like to wake up in the morning and drink Cocoa Tea, she squinted her eyes, titled her head, and said "what mama?" "It's like hot cocoa," I smiled, "but richer, and seasoned with cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg." Her eyes instantly popped open in recognition and the corners of her lips curled impishly. I showed her my mound of chocolate chips and added that in Saint Lucia they use cocoa sticks and balls to make their Cocoa Tea, but we'd … [Read more...]
Recipe: Caribbean Fry Bakes
This week I've completely given up: - shooing the cat off our bed - working so hard, I can't see straight. - being in a hurry - doing the laundry - eating boxed cereal Instead, I'm now: - snuggling my cat - not-so-accidentally forgetting my phone at home - dancing with my daughter with the curtains wide open - playing board games with family - gobbling up bakes Thanksgiving week is a time for a little closer look at what matters. It's about family, not work. It's about … [Read more...]
Recipe: Russian "Egg, Egg & Caviar"
The scrambled eggs in Russia are so moist and creamy, you'd swear there's cheese folded up inside. To achieve this texture, the eggs are never whisked or salted at this stage, but broken directly into a pot (not a pan), then cooked over gentle heat in a "on again, off again" game that makes Ross and Rachel's relationship on Friends look stable. Finally, a generous swoosh of heavy cream and a sprinkle of seasoning finishes the eggs off right. Then, while they're still steaming hot, you … [Read more...]
Recipe: Pumpkin Olad'yi
Sometimes it's hard being a mom. Take this week, for example. People I don't even know have been throwing candy at my daughter from giant parade floats. They call it Halloween, but I call it "the reason why my daughter is still awake an hour and a half past her bedtime, thrashing around like a junkie in withdrawal." You see, I don't let Ava eat all her candy in one sitting. She gets a couple of pieces at snack time for a few days in a row. That's it. Any candy that remains gets donated to … [Read more...]
Recipe: Romanian Easter Bread | Pasca
In my dream Romanian house I am surrounded by tall, sunny windows overlooking cobblestone streets and green, leggy hills. As I sit in a velvet window seat, I nibble copious amounts of Pasca, a traditional sweet bread enjoyed on Easter morning. The bread is filled with sweet cheese (think something like cheesecake) and sometimes raisins. Between bites, I sip a cup of steaming, hot tea. The nearby oven radiates gentle heat that drifts through the house and takes the chill out of the … [Read more...]
Recipe: West African Toasted Baguette Sandwich with Spinach Scrambled Eggs
If you're going to serve an egg sandwich, you best do it up right. Layer hot, scrambled eggs in a crusty, toasty baguette and wrap 'em up. Make sure there's something green in there to keep you strong and healthy. Tie it with a bow. Simply put: turn breakfast into a present for your belly. I learned this trick from Niger. When I dug around for traditional recipes I kept stumbling upon the same thing: eggs sandwiches sold by street vendors. Simple. Comforting. Filling. This is the … [Read more...]

The Museo Granjita Siboney, a few kilometers east of the cutoff to La Gran Piedra, is housed in the farmhouse where Castro and his cohorts met (having hid their weapons in a well here) before attacking the Moncada Barracks. The farmhouse is on a large, shady piece of land. The museum inside commemorates the event with photos, news articles, documents, blood-stained clothing, and weapons. Twenty-six memorials to the attack line the road from here to Santiago.

TUCSON - Crews from the Northwest Fire and Golder Ranch Fire Districts were called to a mobile home fire this afternoon.
It happened in the 11400 block of North David Avenue, in the unincorporated area of Rillito.
According to Northwest Fire District Captain Adam Goldberg, this area does not have any fire coverage.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department called NW Fire and Golder Ranch Fire just before 1 p.m. and asked them to respond to this fire.
Both agencies arrived to find the mobile home 75 percent involved, Goldberg said, and there aren't any fire hydrants to be found in the area.
No one was injured. It is also unknown whether or not anyone lived in the home, Goldberg said, adding that the home is considered a total loss.

[327] Chromatin Remodeling and Cell Cycle Activity in Periinfarction Myocardium.
Bo Ye, Weiko Mao, Loralee McMahon, Qi Yang, Haodong Xu, Faqian Li. University of Rochester Medical Center, NY
Background: Proliferative activity of cardiac myocytes has been observed in periinfarction myocardium. To access DNA template, chromatin remodeling and DNA unwinding is required. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a key component of polycomb repressive complex 2, regulates cell proliferation by histone H3 methylation at lysine 27. Brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1) is the ATPase subunit of a large chromatin remodeling complex. The aim of this study was to determine if EZH2 and Brg1 expressed in periinfarction myocardium.
Design: Ten cases of left ventriculectomy for the placement of left ventricle (LV) assistance device in patients with acute myocardial infarction less than 2 week old and 2 cases of normal hearts unsuitable for implantation were studied. Four micron sections of LV were stained with antibodies against EZH2 (Leica, clone 6A10, 1:100), Brg-1 (Santa Cruz, clone G-7, 1:100), and Ki-67 (DAKO, clone MIB1, 1:100) using a kit (EnVisonTM Flex+ Dako) and an automated immunostainer.
Results: Rare non-cardiac myocytes in normal hearts and remote areas of infarcted hearts showed nuclear positivity for EZH2 and Ki-67, but no staining for these markers was detected in cardiac myocytes in the same areas. In periinfarction myocardium, there was significant increase in Ki-67 and Brg1 positive non-cardiac myocytes. Strong nuclear staining for these markers was also detected in 5 to 10% cardiac myocytes in periinfarction zones. More importantly, serial section staining revealed that there was co-expression of these markers in cardiac myocytes of periinfarcion myocardium. Brg-1 was weakly expressed in both cardiac myocyte and non-cardiac myocytes in normal hearts and remote areas of infarcted hearts. There was significant increase in Brg-1 expression in periinfarcion myocardium.
Conclusions: Cell cycle entry in cardiac myocytes of periinfarction myocardium is accompanied by increased expression of EZH2 and Brg1. This result suggests there is chromatin remodeling and histone modification in cardiac myocytes of periinfarction myocardium.

Demi Moore has been an expert at being the center of public attention for decades. After dropping out of high school at 16, the General Hospital alum bared breasts in her first major film, Blame It On Rio (1984). Over the next 12 years, she appeared topless five more times and posed nude for Vanity Fair twice — once while seven months pregnant. The massive success of St. Elmo's Fire branded her Brat Pack and after she romanced spirit Swayze while making pottery in Ghost (1990), she had a top spot in the Hollywood hierarchy. It allowed her to earn top dollar for films like Indecent Proposal and Striptease and cofound the Moving Pictures production company, which was responsible for the Austin Powers franchise. She grabbed headlines for designing one of the worst Oscar outfits of all time (a biker shorts-and-bustier combo), shaving her head in G.I. Jane (1997), besting the much-younger Cameron Diaz in a Charlie's Angeles bikini-off at 41, jumping on the Kabbalah bandwagon with Madonna and being treated for "exhaustion" in early 2012. (She'd had drug and alcohol problems before St. Elmo's as well.) The men in her life have also been newsworthy. She married rocker Freddy Moore at 18, was engaged to Emilio Estevez for two years and spent 11 years hitched to Bruce Willis, the father of her three daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. She moved on with Ashton Kutcher, nearly 16 years her junior, eventually making it official in 2005 with Willis in attendance and unofficial in 2011.

My boss sent me this photo today. looks simple to make with pallets or scrap wood, hangers cut for the slots stuck into drilled holes. Going to try it. Any excuse to pull out my saw, nail gun and drill sounds good to me.
feel free to post your homemade feeders here too. |

That's a beautiful feeder! I know just how you feel about those tools. I love building things with mine! Show us what you are building when youi do it, please! I use a small drawer from an old refrigerator and a square Tupperware container for my two feeders. Not fancy, but works ok. You can usually get lots of free wood in or near the dumpsters at construction sites, or just ask one of the guys nearby if there are any pieces you can have. Ditto for cement blocks. |
We try to stick with feeders that are non-pourous. They can be cleaned & disinfected very easily. A nice design could be made from a 6-8 " diameter PVC pipe. Get an appropriate length. Cut 1 foot off the end. Cut both pieces in half lengthwise. Get 2 PVC caps, and place them on both ends of the long piece, Screw or glue them in place. The caps keep the feed inside the feeder. Screw the short pieces upside down on the bottom of both ends to make legs. Drill several holes in the bottom of the long feeder to let water drain out. Set it on the floor and fill with feed, not too much if outside. You will have a long piece left over to make another feeder if needed. You can add a bar or a strip of pipe or wire or something on the top of the caps to allow just their heads into the feeder. We took ours off though as it only encouraged them to jump on it & dirty the feed. We offered pallets leaned against the wall for roosts, they like them & we just replace them when they get nasty. This makes a great feeder for goats, minus the top bar, if you use the heavy guage PVC, doesn't work so well for horses or cows. I never could get the knack of pictures on here, gave up on that long ago. |
MsJay-Do you have any instructions on how to build this feeder-or are you just going to wing it? I love this feeder! I also want to try it. Thanks, |
What worries me about using used pallets is what may have been spilled on them during their intended use. Some of these become contaminated with so very nasty chemicals. I imagine if painted with several coats of porch paint that would seal the wood up. I, as Brendasue, prefer to use plastic/metal for the cleanable aspect. In the past have built a wooden feeder that closed when not in use. When a chicken jumped onto the perch their weight would lift the lid so they could eat-thus keeping the sparrows from eating the feed. It is amazing how quickly they learn that it will open when they get on the perch. Almost comical. |
Runningtrails... I thought about the dumpsters too but no construction sites near me at this time. Tiger direct is closer. Brendasue we must think alike. This is the one I use now but I am thinking of using it for water. gonna close the hole up some. Nelda... I am winging it baby. LOL seramas Thanks for the tip on sealing it up real good. An excuse to pull out the sprayer too. LOL |
MsJay--LOL on winging it!! If you get yours done first--Please post it!!! What are you going to use for the spindles in the middle? |
I have some wire hangers around here somewhere. Cut them on the straight part, drill a hole in the wood and put the spindles in it. |
Well I was all hyped up this morning. I was ready to get to work but the guy who was going to pick up the pallets today did not come through. His girlfriend had him working on her honey do list. Bummer I did manage to get one thing accomplished. I brought my new chickens home. They are supposed to be Ameraucana but probaly Easter Eggers. As long as I get colored eggs I am happy. They fly pretty high. I was shocked. So I got pullets not pallets. |

I like that PVC pipe bird feeder idea! I might have some of that laying around here somewhere or in my "raw materials" stash out in the field...where did I put that...I know, I made soap molds out of it :-( Do you think the chickens would eat out of it if I've already used it to make scented round soap bars? Maybe I'll find a new piece at a garage sale. I never, ever buy anything "new". Where's the fun in that? The whole sense of accomplishment is lost if you just buy stuff. Anyone can do that. Ooooo! Colured eggs! I would love a few Easter Eggers. Maybe this spring...no, we already have way too many eggs as it is. Well, maybe just a few more... I would really like some Chanteclers too. You have to show us anything you make yourself, you know. I love DIY! |
if you have a habitat store you can get PVC from them. Just make sure you check the price in the store because habitat can over price sometimes. That is not actually the PVC pipe people use for plumbing it is the thinner stuff used for septic systems. MUCH cheaper. They (Lowes) makes it difficult for you to find the pieces that fit together though. Have to go through that section real good and put the pieces together to make sure they fit. Also putting ads on craigslist works. the top piece is about 4' and I think it is a little tall. Inconvenient when it comes time to filling it. Imagine standing in a small ladder filling it with a funnel (most of the bottom tube of the funnel has to be cut off to let the feed flow freely). If I had to do it all again I would only make the top part 3'. The bottom piece is about 12" which I thought was kind of long but after fitting the pieces together it was perfect. When I cut the hole in the bottom I made the slit all the way to the end because that was easier to do but it made it kind of flimsy so I had to glue the bottom elbow and the bottom cap. That's what I get for winging it. I have never had a problem with it besides the awkwardness of filling it. OH and then when I finished it I had to tie it to the pen. I used hemp string first and that eventually popped so I had to use wire. I saw it done by someone else who used a metal strip. They put it around the front of the tube and screwed it in the wood. As long as my wire is holding I am leaving it like that. You know what they say "don't fix what ain't broke" I am making the new feeder to put outside when I have them out. I might also modify the design for use as a hay feeder. Not sure. Gotta get one under my belt first. Oh and I do not know if your chickens would eat out of a scented feeder. They might think you are spoiling them again or they might go on hunger strike. |
correction on what I did to the bottom piece. I did make the slit all the way to the end but I had to cut a short piece to go over it and keep it together then I put the cap on the end of that., |

I thought I would use the big PCV pipe (3 - 4") cut in half and put it along the entire wall in the house, raised about 8" off the ground and attached to the wall. I will drill a few tiny holes in it for drainage, although I don't think it will be getting wet. I will put a cap at either end. The chickens can eat all at the same time, side by side. I might not cut it in half but just cut the top section out so it has a higher rim in the front for less spillage. I'll have to think about it for awhile. I sit around thinking and planning a lot. I don't need TV! The Habitat Restore is a good idea. I know they have some. |
MsJay-I just saw this chicken feeder and thought you might be interested in seeing it. It is a little tall for me but it could be shortened for smaller bags of feed. http://www.backyardchickens.com/chicken_feeder.php Nelda |
runningtrails just remember when you cut the slit in it that weakens the "tube"/ better to have a series of slits vs one long one. Just my 2cents Yeah I plan a lot and dream of those plans a lot too. Nelda I have seen that design and thought about it at one time but I am stuck on the one I pictured first right now. Thanks |
Msjay2u,your pretty chicks have no tufts or beards?I made a feeder from the chick feeder with the holes all around that takes a jar.I had seen one somewhere that was pvc pipe duct taped atop a plastic jar with the bottom cut out.I used a plastic jar with 303(fruit cans) taped together and used a plastic lid on top from a small coffee can I think.I fill it with a canning jar funnel that we had.I tied it to the nest box for a kind of emergency extra source of food.Only 1 or 2 can eat at a time cause of space issues.Posy Pet |
Those are 4 week old pullets so nothing has developed yet. |
Msjay2u that PVC feeder is similar to our mineral & baking soda feeders, except we have a "y" where the minerals are exposed, all verticle pipe. They work well for us. Brendasue |
do you have a photo? |
I can get one, I'll try for one tonight. Then maybe provide a link to it or something as I have a hard time posting to boards. Brenda |
Here's a link to some of our feeders: http://pondviewfainters.tripod.com/id26.html Brendasue |
ahhh haaa now I see. I like all of them. AND THEY ALL LOOK EASY!! One question though about the mineral feeder. Do the minerals get stuck in the bottom? Do they have a hard time getting to the minerals if it is not full? In other words what is the waste factor with it? okay I have 2 questions actually. What do you use for the water for the goats? I am really loving that hay feeder. I am glad you provided a picture. You do not even want to know how I imagined it. LOL |
We fill the bottom with something, one we filled with hot glue, but usually rocks because they're handy. That one is for many goats, you would probably need the 2" pipe. The biggest waste is when the humidity gets the minerals, so during July/August we fill it minimally, the little waste there is goes in the garden. We have ponds & a stream for water. A couple times a year it'll freeze & we have to haul buckets just like everyone else. |

Is that your site Brendasue? I love that goat feeder! I will remember that when I get goats. I'm saving that pictures for reference. I like the pvc feeder too. Looks easy, like misjay2u said. |
Yes it is. These feeders are the best we've had so far. Brendasue |
I have plenty of rocks!! I found a piece of PVC in the barn. I might try to do a mineral feeder this weekend. I like your site too |

What do you guys think of this guy? What is the real value on something like this piece? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Any value is what someone will pay. I think it's highly unlikely that someone will pay $1600 for that pottery figurine. |
Old Disney licensed items are extremely collectable, but they have suffered the dip in economy like everything else. You also really need to know what you are doing to not get taken in the market with knock-offs, and how you sell your items will impact their going price steeply. I had a pair of vintage Disney figurines from my mother's estate. They had dropped to about 45% of their value on the collector's market. They still were worth 3 figures and I put a bug in a relative's ear to whom I gave them to not ever put them in a yard sale, but check their value if she ever sold them. I didn't even check your link because I'm in no position to evaluate it and if you ever do have occasion to buy or sell in that type of market, seek advise from someone who is reputable in it. Not all of it has significant value and that type of collecting is not up my tree. |
Thanks for the reply guys looks like it went for $1600. Guess it was valued right. |

What separates a great photograph from a snapshot?
In our online Art of Photography course, students learn that good design doesn't just happen. A snapshot captures a moment, whereas a great photograph captures it beautifully by being composed. All of the elements are chosen and arranged to fit together. Elements such as line, texture, and pattern can add visual interest and heighten a photograph's drama.
The students discussed examples from photographers Pamela Pecchio and Aaron Siskind, whose work is in our permanent collection, exploring how actual and implied texture can create a visually engaging image, and also created photographs of their own.
Examine these images and consider students' choices in composing each photograph. Whether you notice the skewed worm's-eye view of brightly patterned ribbons or the rhythmic patterns of leaves growing between pipes, your eye is drawn through the composition.
The students' work will be on display in the Museum's Education Lobby from January 11 through April 14. Pecchio's work is featured in the exhibition Dwelling: Interiors by Page H. Laughlin and Pamela Pecchio, opening February 10 in the adjacent North Carolina Gallery.
Art of Photography is one of five online semester courses offered through the Museum that students can take for high school credit.

Recently I got one of those invitations to attend a get-rich-quick seminar. Included were two free tickets valued at over $100 each. The seminar promised to provide life-altering financial strategies. It had been a while since I attended one of these seminars, so I decided to go.
The meeting was held in a lavish setting: an expensive hotel ballroom lit with fancy chandeliers. The room was equipped with a PowerPoint display on a huge screen. Attendees began to fill the room, directed by lots of assistants who gave out colorful brochures. Precisely on time, the speaker walked up to the podium and took command. I'll call him Slick (not his real name, of course, but it fits).
Slick described himself as a self-made, very wealthy man who made a lot of money in a company buyout, real estate and then the stock market. He had retired very young, got tired of living the easy life and then decided to help others learn how to be successful investors. He was an excellent pitch man who sought audience participation, some of which I suspect came straight from shills planted in the audience.
Make a killing in real estate Slick devoted about an hour to the topic of how to make money from properties on the brink of foreclosure. He described situations where widows and less fortunate people got behind in their mortgage or tax payments and were therefore ready to settle for pennies on the dollar days before the scheduled date of a foreclosure auction.
Although all of these "opportunities" are a matter of public record, the government is slow to produce the data. Slick said that by working with his firm, you could get more timely information plus professional help when the time came to go to the door of the desperate seller. A legitimate real estate agent would accompany you and do all the talking. You would stand at the agent's side as the prospective buyer.
As Slick pointed out, this is a benefit to all parties: The seller gets a clear record without a bankruptcy, the mortgage holder gets a good fraction of the debt back, the real estate agent gets a commission and you get a valuable piece of property that you can turn over for a nice profit.
So far, Slick divulged nothing new. He admitted that others promoted the same techniques as proffered in many books and seminars, but his firm offered expert advice, training, a Web site with materials that made rapid response possible and use of professional real estate firms that would help close the deals.

Passion and originality are the lifeblood of football, without which there would be no rivalries, no legends and no young stars. Upon the arrival of the Nike Roshe Run in 2013, the minimal silhouette became an instant classic. Its simple mesh upper and one-piece phylon outsole serve as a blank canvas with endless design possibilities. Outfitted with Nike Hyperfuse construction, the Roshe Run features improved durability, breathability and support.
The popular Nike Roshe Run sneaker line continues. It has a lightweight mesh upper that allows for a comfortable fit. Don't miss out on the Nike Roshe Run; pick them up before they are gone.

Maybe a little off topic, but the question deals with entertaining. I was in a park recently and saw someone playing with a unique toy. He had two sticks with a long string between them, which was used to spin a double-sided wooden cone. It looked fun and interesting. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to ask him what it was called. I have some pictures at:

As a distinct practice area involving experience in appellate procedure, sophisticated legal analysis, and the art of persuasive written and oral advocacy, appellate litigation is an integral part of Jones Walker's practice. Our appellate team's approach emphasizes in-depth legal research and the presentation of logically developed arguments and briefs that are compelling, concise, and direct. We brief and argue cases at all levels of state and federal court, and also prepare amicus curiae briefs on matters of concern to firm clients and prepare emergency writ applications before and during trial.
Jones Walker's Appellate Litigation practice draws attorneys from each of our substantive practice areas, including antitrust, bankruptcy, construction, environmental and toxic torts, ERISA, intellectual property, international law, maritime, products liability, professional liability, securities, telecommunications, and white collar crime. We have a depth of experience in a wide array of substantive areas and are highly qualified to handle appeals of all sizes in a cost-effective manner.
Because appellate litigation is based on a defined record, our appellate litigators work closely with trial counsel to shape legal issues and properly preserve issues for appeal. We are often called to brief and argue pre-trial motions for summary judgment, dismissal of the complaint, class certification, exclusion or admission of evidence, judgment as a matter of law, and new trial. We are frequently asked to handle appeals of matters that have been tried by other attorneys.
Many of the firm's appellate litigation attorneys are former judicial clerks of federal and state courts. Through frequent court appearances and participation in activities of the bench and organized bar, Jones Walker's appellate attorneys have earned the respect of many of the appellate judges in both the Louisiana and federal systems.

Occasionally in life there are moments when things change
Peter McGlashan | 3:18am gmt 01 Dec 2009
Occasionally in life there are moments when things change, the laws of probability seem to bend slightly and what seems ludicrous becomes reality. Recently I lived one of those moments.
As a Wicketkeeper, my job is to react to what is going on around me. My sole responsibility is to catch the ball when it comes near me. A Keepers job description would read 'must catch proficiently any cricket balls directed at them from all angles, at varying speeds, for hours on end?. Doesn't sound too difficult...
However, holding such a reactive position means the outcomes of your hard work are often beyond your control, if success or failure were just measured in catches and byes. Unfortunately, for too long a Keepers performance and involvement has been misunderstood or taken for granted.
The bowler, batsman and fielders all play a part in how I, as a Keeper, can become involved in the game and it is that ongoing battle of patience and anticipation that makes our day so draining.
A bowler knows that when they stand at the top of their mark they control where the ball will go and can influence the likely outcome of proceedings from then on. They obviously cannot change that balls destiny once it leaves their fingertips, but where and how they deliver the ball to the awaiting batsman will restrict available strokes and limit scoring opportunities and therefore provide some control over what is to follow.
The same applies for the batsman, where they control the outcome once the ball leaves the bowlers hand through footwork and strokeplay. Some bold innovation or fancy feet, can turn the best ball into a boundary opportunity and a headache for the bowler.
For the Keeper though they must sit and wait for their chance to shine, holding out for that moment of brilliance that can turn the match. Most of our day is taken up by the mundane, regulation takes outside off stump standing back to the seamers, or collecting errant returns from the outfield.
Every now and again though, a day will come when there is an opportunity to show your teammates why they need you there, why your skills, above anyone elses, are crucial for their success. Those days are your chance to take the stage and put on a performance to be remembered. Recently, I had one of those days.
Cricket is a sport where unfortunately you will probably fail more often than you succeed. Most club cricketers know that they will probably only have a good day once every 4-6 weeks. The reality is, in a sport with 11 players, only 3-4 each week will have a day worthy of mention over dinner that night, or the water cooler at work on Monday morning. This is one of the reasons why many people don't understand why we all love the game.
What possible enjoyment could you get out of a sport that lasts 6 hours a day, for 5 days, and at the end there might not even be a result?
While many regard Keepers as eccentric, oddballs that sit in the corner of the shed with smelly gear and crooked fingers, I regard them as a unique bunch of individuals who enjoy being involved in the game as much as possible and yearn for that day in the sun, whilst deep down knowing they will be few and far between. We are the players who realised early on in our cricket careers, that it can be a very boring sport standing down at fine leg waiting for the ball to come to you, and that standing at slip for 300 balls, waiting for one to come to you must be like watching paint dry. As a keeper I know a lot of balls are going to come to me, potentially every single one, (I know, highly unlikely, but cricket's a funny game...) so I must always be ready. More often than not you'll get a catch or two, but every now and again something strange happens. That happened to me recently.
Most sportsmen and women play their sport striving to repeat, or reset, an earlier personal best, occasionally reaching milestones for their province or country, regarded as remarkable by their peers. As cricket has been played at first class level for decades it was hard to think I would attain one of those records and have my name alongside some of the greats of the game.
Not long ago though, that happened.
Our game versus Central Districts was just like any other first class game, we knew our opponents well and were striving to win our second game of the season in the second round, a feat not achieved by a Northern Districts side in 13 years.
However, fate intervened for one reason or another and we attained victory, thanks mostly to a great show of bowling by Graeme Aldridge picking up 11 wickets in the match and some stubborn lower order resistance.
And, I had one of those games where, as a Keeper I got the chance to react and have an impact on the game. It was surreal, the second innings in particular, where I caught the first 6 batsman we got out. That sequence of events was made more remarkable by the fact I had already taken 6 catches in the first innings. Unbelievably, I had claimed the world record for most catches in a first class match. The thing was, they were all pretty straight forward.
All I could do, was do my job, catch proficiently any cricket balls directed at me from all angles, at varying speeds, for hours on end.
For whatever reason, the cricket gods patted me on the back that day.
I'm sure it won't be long before they bring me back down to earth, the game does that, but I'd sure like to thank whoever it was who gave me the chance to have my name etched in history.
And all for just doing my job... it really is a funny game.
Hey congrats for the new record, well done and keep it up :)
Comment by Vini | 2:21pm gmt 30 Dec 2009
Wow - overtaking Marsh and Stewart et al is no mean feat! Well done, Peter.
Comment by Dave Wilson | 7:52am gmt 12 Dec 2009
Somewhat strange article but congratulations to you. Good luck in the future sitting on the bench as NZ's back up keeper.
Comment by Number 11 | 4:42am gmt 11 Dec 2009
Well done on the record Peter. You must be thrilled with your bowling attack at ND at the moment, who look to be probably the best in the country. Good to see you've been doing pretty well with the bat too.
Comment by Nick | 10:14am gmt 07 Dec 2009
Hi all,
Thanks very much for the kind words, always nice to hear there are people that enjoy my writing and hopefully are passing it on to others with an interest in the game.
Please continue to comment on articles, is always nice to know people care enough to pass on their opinions. Northern Districts continue to do well and have had the great news through that BJ Watling has been included in the squad for the 3rd test versus Pakistan.
BJ has been my cover for keeping and is a very good opening batsmen so it is great to see him get a chance. I'll have to watch my back and work even harder to keep my name in consideration for the New Zealand back up position with him around. He has all the right attributes and is an exceptional fielder so I'm sure he'll do well.
Comment by Peter McGlashan | 3:35am gmt 06 Dec 2009
Good on you Peter. Not everyone is talented enough to achieve any sort of record. And this is a world record in FC cricket; no mean feet at all. Congratulations. You deserve a good celebratory party.
Comment by Bagapath | 4:20am gmt 05 Dec 2009
Congrats on the record. Well deserved.
Comment by Hurricane | 6:28am gmt 05 Dec 2009
Nicely written article Peter, and congrats on the record.
Comment by andyc | 3:45am gmt 04 Dec 2009
Nice article as always Peter. Of course you're right to point out the fact that your bowlers put in a great show, but you should be very proud of your achievement. As you say, FC cricket has been played for decades so to achieve such a record is special.
Comment by Matt | 9:46pm gmt 03 Dec 2009
Really good read Peter, and congrats on your world record achievement!
