Chapter 3: Paradise on Earth
They had made love countless of times, but today was special. Ivan wanted this so much, wanted for both of them to remember this day for the rest of their lives. He inched forward, his hard flesh in his hand, slowly guiding it to rest against his lover's slick, pulsing portal.
The small opening relaxed at his touch, and he felt himself sink inside. Ivan pushed a little more, slowly sliding in an inch at a time, sinking deeper into his lover's incredible heat until he was fully sheathed, Yao's body receiving him eagerly. The feeling was exquisite, hot, slick velvet walls pulsing around him. Ivan felt as if he belonged nowhere else in the world.
Ivan held himself steady, the urge to thrust mindlessly into the hot sheath surrounding him almost overwhelming. Yao lay still, breathing deeply. Ivan was pleased to see the pain and fear in his lover's eyes fade and a look of ecstasy replace them.
"Yao, do you like having me inside you?"
"Don't... don't ask stupid questions aru!" Yao cried as his cheeks reddened.
"Yao~ How's my question stupid? I really have no idea da~ You're always scolding me when I want to make love to you~ Since it's your birthday, I'm going to be a good boy and ask for your permission before I proceed~"
"As if! I don't believe you'd be so kind aru!" Yao scoffed.
"If you don't want to continue, we can stop here," Ivan said calmly.
"Why you...!"
Biting his lower lip, Yao whispered, his red visage blushing even further, "Yes... I... I like it. Please don't stop aru..."
"I like being inside you too, my little sunflower. I like it very much," Ivan smiled. He lifted Yao's legs down and guided them to clasp his waist. Then he leant forward, their mouths almost touching. He could feel warm breaths of air against his chin. "I love you." He closed the infinitesimal distance and took Yao's mouth in a deep kiss. He almost lost himself in the feel of the soft, pliant lips as he pushed his tongue into warm haven.
Ivan pulled back slightly, feeling the tight channel grasp deliciously at his hard rod. Yao relaxed beneath him as Ivan continued to kiss him lovingly. Yao's small hands stroked his broad back, occasionally moving up to his neck to caress it. Ivan slowly ended the kiss, sucking on the succulent lower lip.
"I'm going to make love to you now. Ready?" Ivan asked as he gave an experimental thrust of his hips. He smiled tenderly as Yao mewled when his hidden jewel was brushed against. Ivan eased back and then pushed inside once more. His reward was a gasp of pleasure from his mate. He repeated the movement, his member rubbing over Yao's sweet spot on each stroke. He could feel his lover's erection pushing against his belly as he rocked back and forth, drawing ever impassioned cries.
"Ah...! Ivan...! Nnh...! Ivan!" Yao wailed as each thrust landed firmly against his pleasure point. He tightened his embrace around Ivan's neck as tears of pleasure and pain flowed freely from his eyes.
"Yao! Yao! You feel so good! I could do this forever..."
He reached between them to take Yao's weeping member and fondled it. The reaction was instantaneous, the tight channel squeezing with sublime heat and pressure. He slowed as he shifted slightly so that he was lying on his back with Yao on top, straddling his thighs. The change in angle let him bury himself more deeply into the hot, tight passage and Yao cried out his delight.
"Yao...! Yao!" Ivan panted. "Do you know what I'm thinking about you now?
"Huh...?" Yao gasped, his mind in a whirl and not really taking in a word.
"You're paradise on earth... My paradise on earth..."
Ivan picked up pace, assaulting Yao's pleasure centre over and over again. The pace of their lovemaking increased incrementally, each man's enjoyment, arousal and pleasure fueling the other. Ivan felt Yao tense up and the velvety walls that enclosed his rod contract. As his climax overwhelmed him, Yao cried out his lover's nickname in love and bliss.
"Van... Vanya!"
The tight heat surrounding him clenched and spasmed. Pearly fluid pulsed over Ivan's hand and cascaded onto his abdomen.
"Yao...! Yao! You're mine... all mine..." he bit down on Yao's bare shoulder, sucking to leave yet another mark outside his mate's body as he followed him quickly into ecstasy, his hot seed filling the shuddering body he held.
Their mutual orgasm was as if they were connected, two souls merging, becoming one. The pleasure intense, draining, all consuming. The fire of their souls burning in each other quenching each others need. After the beautiful moment, they lay beside each other on the grass, gasping for breath, strength sapped. Ivan leaned over his lover and their lips met in a tender kiss that could have lasted for eternity.
Ivan withdrew his lips unwillingly and gazed into Yao's blushing but smiling face. With his hair in disarray and his mouth reddened and swollen from their kisses, Yao could not look more beautiful to his eyes.
Ivan pulled his lover into his embrace and stroked his hair gently.
"Yao, I love you. I've loved you ever since I met you in Mongolia's house. You showed me what love was when you shielded me from Mongolia's beatings. You showed me what warmth was with those protective hugs that saw me through many harsh winters. There may be times when I have not treated you as well as you deserved, but I had my boss to answer to. If I was a regular human without the burden of a nation, I would give anything to make you happy. Do you love me in the same way?" his violet eyes blazed into Yao's amber ones.
"Aiya Ivan," Yao laughed awkwardly as his face went another notch redder. "Have you been watching Wan's icky romance dramas? You sound just like their love-sick protagonists aru!"
"I'm serious, Yao. Answer me," Ivan said urgently. There was no hint of jest in his eyes. Yao blushed even harder.
"Yes aru," Yao whispered. "If it does not compromise my people's interests, I'll give you anything you want, if it makes you happy."
Emboldened by Yao's positive response, Ivan took his hand and interlocked their fingers. "Yao, promise me you'll belong to me, and me alone, for the rest of our lifetime."
"You're selfish aru," Yao chided. "Family ties are important too."
"But Yao is my family da~ And I'm your family too~"
"Since when aru! We're not even... married... or anything..."
"Are we not? Look at your ring finger," Ivan held up his hand for Yao to look.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw the gold ring on his ring finger. Pressing against it was an identical ring on Ivan's ring finger.
"Oh Ivan," Yao cried, exasperated. "I've told you so many times. I can't marry you. I'm China and I will not belong to anyone else. You'll have to take back your present."
He made to pull the ring off his finger, but Ivan said "No" so forcibly that Yao stopped abruptly.
"Yao, look at the engravings on the underside of your ring," he took hold of Yao's wrist and turned it gently so that his palm was facing up.
"It says 'Property of Ivan'," Yao observed, feeling increasingly annoyed.
"Yes, it says 'Ivan', not 'Russia'. And look at mine~" Ivan held up his hand.
Yao gasped. He could not believe his eyes. He rubbed them, and blinked, and looked again.
Property of Yao.
"You can look as many times as you like da~ The engraving will never change," Ivan smiled.
"Oh... Oh Ivan," Yao spluttered, overcome with tears of joy that began falling down his cheeks.
Ivan cupped his tear-stained face in his hands.
"Do you like my present?"
"I... I do aru. I love it very much."
Contented with his answer, Ivan pressed their lips together in a slow, tender kiss. He surged forward, pressing Yao back down onto the grass. He pressed kiss after kiss to Yao's lips. They became hotter, wetter, deeper, and still, Ivan continued his loving assault.
"Let's consummate~"
"We're married, so we must consummate our marriage da~"
"But... I'm exhausted aru!"
"It's all right da~ You can relax. I'll do all the work~"
"How can I possibly relax aru!"
"Don't be shy~ I'm your husband!"
"We're not married until we go through the wedding ceremony aru!"
"Does it matter da? I have long regarded you as mine~ Besides, you did say you'd do anything that makes me happy~ Are you going back on your word?"
"I... Oh fine aru! But... please be gentle..."
"I'll try my best~ Kolkolkolkol~ "
To love is to give and take.
The End, but there's one more bonus chapter.

Tired of his long exile from the US and hoping to see his family again before he dies, Cassidy sets out on the long journey home.

All Critics (75) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (54) | Rotten (18) | DVD (2)
It's a perfect part for Shepard, and "Blackthorn" provides considerable pleasure just in watching him ride a horse and bark around.
This story, parboiled out of one of the most memorable Westerns, is supported all the way by Gil's directing.
With Paul Newman no longer with us, no other actor could have fitted so snugly into the legendary outlaw's old boots.
Sam Shepard delivers a terrific, dry performance as the older Butch Cassidy, his stoic view of life honed by years of reflection and self realisation. It's a well written screenplay and director Mateo Gil makes the most of it
Embodied effectively by a craggy Sam Shepard, it is not the physicality of Shepard that convinces us of his identity, but his character and the morals by which he lives
Offers a fascinating imaginary sequel to the story of Butch and Sundance.
A Western in possession of a social conscience, but without lapsing into preaching or patronising, this is an unassuming film in some ways, but ultimately it's self-assured, elegiac and sometimes strikingly beautiful.
A leisurely, elegiac production that needed a sharper focus.
A subtle film that balances drama with gunplay.
While Shepard is a classically, charming and grizzled Western anti-hero, his co-star Eduardo Noriega, above, makes for a stiff sidekick.
Blackthorn is a handsomely mounted film, with many an awesome vista and rolling plain, but compared to the quicksilver brilliance of its predecessors, it comes off as irredeemably minor.
Nothing more than a passable Western that makes you long for something memorable.
With westerns rarer than hen's teeth, and decent westerns even rarer, this is certainly one that genre fans should seek out.
It feels as unique as the way the ageing Shepard's eyes appear weirdly independent of the rest of him. He's a bird of prey gazing through the holes in a crumbling wall.
Lonesome Dove with a dash of My Name is Nobody and a side of Ride the High Country, but Shepard, Noriega and the exotic Bolivian locations mark Blackthorn out as a notable entry.
What really grabs the attention are cinematographer JA Ruiz Anchia's staggeringly beautiful Bolivian vistas, the riotously colourful backdrop against which Blackthorn tries to outrun his pursuers.
Engaging and enjoyable, this is an impressively directed, beautifully shot Western with a thoughtful script and terrific performances from Sam Shepard and Eduardo Noriega.
Shepard's crusty charisma gives this dignified genre effort its pulse: a growl-off between his Butch and Jeff Bridges's Rooster Cogburn is surely the next chapter.
Sam Shepard illuminated the old West - or at least the South American parts - with creaky charisma. He unleashes a growly old timer to rival Rooster Cogburn or Will Munny.
A Western about a cowboy vagabond who learns that you can't go home again.
Audience Reviews for Blackthorn
News flash - Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid faked their deaths at the hands of the Bolivian militia. Wow - ok, so what if ??? This is the jumping off point for Blackthorn (Cassidy's assumed name); in a film that takes place 27 years after the Bolivian "incident".
Sounds promising, yes? Throw in the perfect casting of Sam Shepard as the ageing Cassidy, add some jaw dropping Bolivian scenery and you've got... a film that failed - not only at the box office, but artistically as well; in spite of the fine scenery and casting of its lead.
I lay part of the blame at director Mateo Gil who all too often was at odds with himself, just as the old west fable was being replaced by cars, trains, and manifest destiny. Here he wanted to create an old style western; with horses galloping endlessly... but then he collides with Miguel Barros' script which is grounded in harsh realism (in other words, major plot points center on the fact that horses do NOT run forever).
Gil wallows in the harshness as well, with several bleak horizons, dying or dead steeds, exposure to the elements and vast vistas with nothing to see except the characters involved - paying homage to Sergio Leone and his Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns.
The story is a simple one: after hiding for 27 years, Butch discovers that his "nephew" (or possibly his son, which is never made totally clear - is the lad Butch's or Sundance's) is now orphaned in San Francisco. Having made enough money breeding horses, he decides to cash out and return to the states (and nevermind that said "orphan" nephew is now closer to 30 than 20).
Of course things don't go well - he is shot at and his horse, with all his cash and guns, runs away. This leads to the introduction of a new sidekick, a Spanish engineer named Eduardo who convinces Butch to help him out of a jam with the promise of riches. Butch doesn't want to seem mercenary, just wants to get back the 6 grand he lost due to Eduardo shooting at him, but decides to help Eduardo escape the Indians who are pursuing him (who work for the mining company that Eduardo stole 50k from).
There is a decent bonding story with some twists and turns, but the final twist is somewhat over the top; just as I found the reintroduction of Pinkerton agent Mackinley (nicely portrayed as a beaten down drunkard by Stephen Rea), while holding some nice possibilities to be sorely mishandled. That the film tries to infuse a No Country For Old Men sentiment in the interplay between Butch and MacKinley, it totally misses the mark, leaving MacKinley's justifications for his actions totally suspect.
The film also backtracks quite a bit - flipping back 27 years to those last days on the run for Butch and Sundance and the girl who loves them both. I found these passages disconcerting and lacking any dramatic flair; and once again being at odds with itself. The glossing over of the original story would indicate that director Gil assumes you know all about Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid (otherwise, why see this film at all?) - and yet by including parts of the back story (and more what-if scenarios) - he has to perforce show actors who not only do not look like Redford and Newman, but can't hold a candle to their acting chops. So Gil painted himself into a corner, creating for himself and his film a no win scenario. Too bad, for parts of the screenplay and parts of the cinematography do mesh and work quite well - which of course makes the parts that don't all the more glaring.

This was rather well done......Legend has it that Butch and Sundance were killed in a shootout in Bolivia. There is a theory, however, that this legend is false. There actually seems to be evidence proving that it is more likely that Butch faked his death. This movie is based on that theory, and gives us a fictional story of what could have happened in his later years. Sam Shepard is a very fine actor, and is supported by an equally fine cast. I found this movie very interesting, and enjoyable.

Cast: Sam Shepard, Stephen Rea, Magaly Solier, Eduardo Noriega, Daniel Aguirre, Dominique McElligott, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Padraic Delaney, Cristian Mercado, Luis Bredow
Director: Mateo Gil
Summary: This Western imagines the later career of Butch Cassidy, who escapes to Bolivia where he leads a quiet life with the woman he loves. That is until he meets up with a Spanish robber who promises him one last adventure he can't refuse.
My Thoughts: "I am not familiar with the story since I'm not a big fan of westerns Although this isn't really a traditional western either. That being said, I did enjoy the movie. I found the story to very interesting and I thought Sam Shepard did an amazing job. I liked the flashbacks cause it helped those like me ,who are not familiar with the story, get the back-story on what is going on and how he came to be the way he is. Enjoyable and worth seeing."
Super Reviewer
With the world having thought him dead for twenty years, Butch Cassidy(Sam Shepard), aka James Blackthorn, can afford to relax on his ranch in Bolivia and spend some quality time with Yana(Magaly Solier). Still, he is restless and has gotten tired of waiting for Che Guevara to show up, so he sells his horses in order to return to his home country. But an altercation with Eduardo(Eduardo Noriega), a Spanish national, separates him from his horse and his money. To make it up to him and save his own life, Eduardo mentions the mine he just robbed. All of which gets Butch thinking of the old days when he used to ride with the Sundance Kid(Padraic Delaney) and Etta Place(Dominique McElligott, of "Hell on Wheels").
The best part of "Blackthorn" is the beautiful Bolivian scenery, especially the salt flats sequence. At the same time, that along with an extended cameo overshadow the lived-in and low-key performance from Sam Shepard which also fits in well with Butch Cassidy being more of a passive anti-hero this time around. But if you are going to the trouble to take a legendary outlaw like Cassidy out of cultural retirement, shouldn't one at least think of a better story that can stand on its own? For example, nothing against Bolivia of which we get some valuable history here, I think it would have worked out significantly better if this had been about Butch Cassidy already living in the United States as something of a living ghost.

Reports have emerged of a female IBM sales executive in Australia who was allegedly victim to sexual harassment and bullying for two years.
Susan Spiteri claims a member of staff would "rub himself against my backside", touch her, grope her, put his hand up her dress and ask her to expose her breasts to win sales.
In an interview with ABC, Spiteri says that the culture of fear in the office meant no one was prepared to intervene. She told ABC that, although colleagues were supportive of her ordeal, everyone was too scared to try to put a stop to it. Spiteri says she cried nearly ever day at her desk.
She's looking for $1.1 million in compensation from IBM.
IBM has said that it will "vigorously defend" itself in court, and that it "does not tolerate harrassment of any type." The alleged bully resigned from IBM when confronted with the allegations. But IBM then assigned him as a customer to Spiteri.
Spiteri's lawyer says since the case went public, others who went through similar ordeals approached the law firm - and there are a couple more cases bubbling under the surface.

Hot Springs Film Fest Tries To Broaden Appeal
The Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival got started over the weekend as organizers try to broaden the event's appeal.
Opening night was Saturday, and organizers sold about 500 tickets to a showing of "Good Ol' Freda," a film about Freda Kelly, the Beatles' secretary.
Festival board chairman Susan Altrui told The Sentinel-Record that the film was well received.
Altrui says that attendance is up from last year. The festival is broadening its lineup in the hope of attracting more families and to involve younger children throughout the 10-day festival.
Altrui also said The McKinnis Sports Documentary Series featuring various sports films about diverse topics such as youth golfers, Muhammad Ali and others will likely attract new festival attendees.

AFC West powers have plenty of problems
The Cowboys are 3-0, but they're among Jeffri Chadiha's most overrated teams. The Eagles, despite being 1-2, head the underrated list.
I said this at the start of the season and I'll say it again: Evaluating teams based on how they look on paper is always a waste of time. You really have to wait until a team takes the field to have some sense of what they're capable of doing.
And now that three weeks of the NFL season have passed, I can offer a more accurate assessment of which teams are overrated and which ones are underrated. Hey, I'm going to be doing it eventually, so I might as well get an early start on the evaluations.
2. Dallas: Yes, I like the way the Cowboys are playing on offense. But let's also be honest: Coach Wade Phillips is supposed to know a thing or two about defense and the Cowboys are fairly mediocre on that side of the ball. So far their best efforts have come against a team with few weapons (Miami) and another with no quarterback (Chicago). They've also dealt with key injuries, such as the torn biceps that ended the season for nose tackle Jason Ferguson and the foot injury that has hobbled cornerback Terence Newman. So while the Cowboys are the NFC's hottest team, I have to wonder when that defense starts impacting their unblemished record.
3. San Diego: I know, I know. This one is a no-brainer. The Chargers look so disappointing right now that the Kansas City Chiefs -- with an offense that is averaging 8.7 points a game -- have a shot at stealing a victory on the road this weekend. Aside from the presence of coach Norv Turner, the second-biggest issue for this team is the lack of talent at wide receiver. You'd think the inability to get LaDainian Tomlinson going would open up more opportunities down the field. Instead, Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates continues to be the lone constant in the passing game. Something tells me that will be a problem for this team all season.
4. Chicago: As bad as Rex Grossman was, I just have a hard time believing that Brian Griese is going to make them a better team. Remember, we're talking about a guy who lost his job to Chris Simms in Tampa Bay. I also don't see greatness in Cedric Benson, even though some scouts tell me that he's the type of runner who gets better with more carries. Right now, I just don't see this offense helping a defense that has been worn down by injuries and too much time on the field.
5. Cincinnati: Any team that gives up 51 points to Cleveland has to be on this list. The problem with the Bengals is their defense is only good when it creates turnovers, as it did in a season-opening win over Baltimore. Without those takeaways, opponents clearly have little trouble moving the ball against them. This wouldn't be such an issue if they played in the NFC. But in a division that also includes Pittsburgh and Baltimore, the Bengals will struggle to gain ground as we move deeper into the season.
1. Philadelphia: The Eagles are the best 1-2 team in football. If it weren't for a couple of punt return miscues in a season-opening loss to Green Bay, they'd be on the right side of .500 right now. Their 56-21 win over Detroit also indicates that their offense is becoming as explosive as I thought it would be coming out of training camp. Their only major concern should be the health of running back Brian Westbrook. He's so dinged up each week, it's hard to imagine him playing an entire season.
Att | Comp | Yds | TD | Int | Rat |
88 | 70 | 868 | 10 | 1 | 141.8 |
3. Indianapolis: This just in: The Colts actually won the Super Bowl last season. You'd think they'd get a little more credit for that instead of hearing people talk about how great the Patriots are. In case you also haven't noticed, the Colts are sharper on defense and the offense continues to click as it always has. So until somebody dethrones them in the postseason, we should give them a pretty good shot at repeating.
4. Pittsburgh: New coach Mike Tomlin is quietly doing a great job in his first season with the Steelers. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has returned to his steady, efficient ways and Willie Parker continues to prove why he's one of the NFL's top backs (he's averaging a league-best 122.7 yards in his first three games). Throw in a defense that ranks first in scoring defense (8.7 points a game) and you have a squad built for a strong postseason run.
5. Green Bay: I didn't think the Packers were legitimate until they beat San Diego last week. Now I can see them making a run at a playoff spot. The Packers' defense is playing so well, quarterback Brett Favre has shown the kind of patience on offense that we haven't seen from him in years. He's managing the game and leading the Packers to the kind of season that didn't seem possible three weeks ago.

After a two-year absence from the national team, the New Jersey-born Fiorentina striker has earned himself a call up thanks to a superb start to the season.
Giuseppe Rossi says he is elated with his call-up to the Italy national team after a lengthy two-year absence.The 26-year-old New Jersey native, who is in the Azzurri squad to face Denmark and Armenia, last featured for Cesare Prandelli in October 2011, playing in a 1-1 draw in a European championship 2012 qualifier against Serbia.
Rossi has been capped 27 times by Italy, but this time feels extra special for the striker, who is thrilled his performances this season have not gone unnoticed.
"I am happy and proud to wear the Azzurri shirt and return to the team," Rossi told Viola Channel. "I thank coach Prandelli for the call, and I will do everything to repay his confidence on the field."
Rossi has scored six goals in nine games in all competitions for Fiorentina this season, after missing more than a year and a half of action following surgery on a ruptured cruciate ligament.
Italy has already qualified from Group B, and Prandelli may use this opportunity to test out some of his fringe players with next year's World Cup on the horizon. Prandelli admits Rossi's comeback has caught his attention and his inclusion is a sign of hard work paying off.
"We do not want to risk anything, but he is a guy who has experienced two difficult years and is now returning to important levels," Prandelli told reporters. "I called to make him feel part of this group and to evaluate his physical condition before using him."

Josh Phegley's slam helps White Sox win testy game with Tigers
DETROIT -- It was hard to tell who was happier when Josh Phegley's sixth-inning grand slam cleared the fence -- Phegley himself, or the pitcher who would benefit from those four runs.
Phegley's drive gave Chris Sale some long-awaited offensive support, and Chicago went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Thursday in a game that included a bench-clearing altercation shortly after the White Sox took the lead.
More From ESPNChicago.com
Can't get enough White Sox information? ESPNChicago.com has all the latest from the South Side. Blog
Sale was 0-6 in his previous seven starts despite an ERA of 3.10 over that span. With one swing, Phegley helped the left-hander end his unfortunate winless stretch.
"That was awesome," Sale said. "Being in that situation and watching that ball go over the fence, that was very satisfying to say the least. What a game. We didn't put our heads down, didn't quit."
Chicago trailed 3-1 when Phegley cleared the bases with a homer off Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez (7-6). Luke Putkonen came on and got one out before throwing a pitch behind Alexei Ramirez, who started toward the mound before being restrained.
Benches and bullpens emptied, but the situation didn't escalate into any sort of fight. Putkonen was ejected, and Detroit manager Jim Leyland argued with umpires at length and was also tossed from the game.
"I wasn't trying to hit anybody," Putkonen said. "Just threw a fastball inside, and it got away from me."
Ramirez felt otherwise.
"Obviously, that wasn't a pitch that was intended to go in the zone," he said through a translator.
MLB is looking into the actions that led to the benches clearing, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.
Based on precedent, the player whose actions will get the most scrutiny is Putkonen.
Sale (6-8) allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances.
Detroit's Miguel Cabrera hit his 30th homer of the year, a solo shot in the fifth that gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Prince Fielder was up next, and Sale threw a pitch high and inside to the Detroit slugger.
Sale said he didn't mean to come close to hitting Fielder.
"Just trying to rare back and throw it as hard as I can. I've said it before -- there's a time and a place for that, and that wasn't the time or the place," Sale said. "I'm not even trying to send a message. I wasn't even trying to back him off the plate, honestly. I've got a lot of respect for Prince, the Detroit Tigers and the game of baseball."
The White Sox rallied off Sanchez to take the lead, and then Putkonen's pitch nearly hit Ramirez. Leyland looked fired up during the brouhaha that followed, and he twice came back out to argue with umpires.
Leyland did not speak to reporters after the game. Plate umpire Chad Fairchild explained the decision to eject Putkonen.
"He threw behind him and I deemed it intentional," Fairchild said.
Fairchild did not view Sale's pitch to Fielder the same way.
"There was no reaction from Fielder. He said nothing. There was no reaction from anyone else," Fairchild said. "The only reaction I saw was from Sale, who made a motion like, `Damn, it got away."
Sale sounded upset with himself afterward.
"Even when I threw it on the mound, I was kind of like, `Ohhhhh, that's not good.' So from the outside looking in, it doesn't look good at all. Like I said, I swear on everything I love, it was unintentional," he said. "Any time your teammates have something like that happen because of something you did, that's not fun.
"Obviously, I won't sit here and say (Putkonen's pitch) was intentional -- maybe it got away from him as well -- but you see something like that, and you kind of feel like an even bigger idiot, knowing that could have hurt him and done whatever, and that was because of me."
With the crowd booing, Ramirez hit a single to right field and then left the game himself because of cramping in his right leg.
Detroit center fielder Austin Jackson couldn't come up with Jeff Keppinger's sinking liner to start the sixth and was charged with an error. After a walk and a strikeout, Gordon Beckham singled and the 25-year-old Phegley followed with a grand slam in his 18th major league at-bat.
"Especially for Sale, we needed to get him a win," Phegley said. "He threw well and he deserved it."
Phegley is 4 for 20 now -- with three homers.
Sale allowed 10 hits, walked two and struck out eight. He left in the seventh after allowing a double by Torii Hunter, and Matt Lindstrom came on and got Cabrera on a flyout.
Alejandro De Aza made it 6-3 with a homer in the eighth off Phil Coke. De Aza also hit a single and a double.
Ramirez opened the scoring in the first with an RBI double, but Matt Tuiasosopo put the Tigers ahead with a two-run homer in the second.
Cabrera's solo shot increased his RBI total to 94. He's the first player to reach 30 homers and 90 RBIs before the All-Star break, according to STATS. A pair of Cincinnati Reds -- Tony Perez in 1970 and George Foster in 1977 -- made it to 29 and 90.
Game notes
... Chicago RHP Jake Peavy (fractured left rib) is scheduled for a rehab game Sunday with Double-A Birmingham at Huntsville. ... Detroit hosts Texas on Friday night, with RHP Doug Fister (6-5) taking the mound against RHP Justin Grimm (7-6) of the Rangers. The White Sox play at Philadelphia.

So a little background first.
I work at night in Pittsburgh, same job I've had for coming up on three years. I've parked in the same parking spot (+/- a space or to) the entire time.
Last night I showed up at 8:00 PM and had to park a little closer to the street than normal. This irked me a bit (I'm a real creature of habit) and I had planned on moving my car later in the evening but work got int the way. So when I was headed to my car at 4:00 I noticed something odd, the drivers side window was smashed.
Now I'm not pissed about the $$ value or anything since that's what insurance is for but they stole a new versapack I just bought. The contents of which were my spare mag for my weapon, my Bible and some other misc items. The pack, the mag and the Bible really pissed me off. Even worse I don't think the alarm went off.
Well I feel better just getting it off my chest.

Over the last few years, there have been a lot of changes and improvements to heavy-duty three-quarter- and one-ton trucks, as well as to half-tons. The quieter story is that compact trucks have gotten bigger and more capable, too, and many of them are now as big as half-tons used to be, with comparable towing and payload capacities. (This Equator, as equipped, does have a payload of more than 1000 pounds, the reason trucks were originally called "half-tons.")
Why did Suzuki get into the compact-truck market? It manufactures motorcycles, ATVs, and motors for boats, and had to watch as other automakers' trucks served as tow vehicles. It made sense for Suzuki to get a pickup, and partnering with Nissan proved cost-effective.
So when the Suzuki Equator arrived for Motor Trend's 2009 Truck of the Year event, we were curious about this compact pickup for a variety of reasons. How would it compare with the Tacoma, Ranger, Dakota, and Colorado? Would it serve the needs of people who want towing and hauling capability, but prefer a truck small enough to fit in the garage? And the question we all had: How is this truck different from the Nissan Frontier? After all, they're both built on the same lines in Nissan's plant in Smyrna, Tennessee; they look alike; and they have the same engines and transmissions. It was for all those reasons that, after TOTY ended, we requested a Suzuki Equator for a year-long test.
The Nissan is available with four trim levels, King or Crew Cabs, I-4 or V-6, manual or automatic transmissions, short or long bed, and rear or four-wheel drive. In the Equator, the option packaging is different, with fewer permutations. Both engines are available with the Extended Cab, but the manual transmission backs the four only. All Crew Cabs are V-6s, with a choice of short or long bed. Extended Cabs come as base, Premium, and Sport variants; Crew Cabs are equipped as base, Sport, and RMZ-4 Sport.
Another big difference is the warranties. Both trucks have a basic 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, but where the Frontier's powertrain warranty covers the vehicle for 5 years and 60,000 miles, Suzuki's takes care of the powertrain for 7 years and 100,000 miles. There aren't many physical differences in the trucks, but this feature adds value to the Suzuki.
We took delivery of an RMZ-4 Sport with the 261-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 and a five-speed automatic. It also came with skidplates, four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer case, hill-hold and hill-descent control, traction control, 16-inch BFGoodrich Rugged Trail tires, tire-pressure monitoring, spray-on bedliner, track cargo tie-down system, and Bilstein shocks.

Delivery of growth factors via the bloodstream for the treatment of various diseases is regulated in part by interactions with cell surface binding elements. Understanding the kinetics of growth factor binding and transport by cells would, therefore, be advantageous. This report quantifies the binding, internalization, and transport of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) across bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) cultured in vitro. Binding analysis indicated that IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), primarily localized with the extracellular matrix, were the primary IGF-I binding elements in our system, with twice as many binding sites (8.0 ± 1.9 × 104 per cell) as IGF-I receptors (IGF-IR) (3.9 ± 0.6 × 104 per cell). Internalization of IGF-I by IGF-IR, but not IGFBPs, was detected, however both receptor and IGFBP binding were shown to inhibit rather than enhance the transport of intact IGF-I, albeit in different ways. IGFBPs retained IGF-I in the apical region while IGF-IR binding led to protein degradation. Based on our computational modeling and experimental data, we hypothesize that IGFBPs could function as a reservoir for IGF-I, sequestering it for later release and transport, and that this reservoir function of the IGFBPs could be used to promote controlled localized delivery of IGF-I.

The Sunday Washington Post boosted NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a writer for Time magazine and a "new kind of public intellectual." So what's a little funny by the time you read through this puff piece is this: Where are the actual quotes from his political and religious commentary? There aren't any.
Post reporter Geoff Edgers wrote under the headline "Showtime for a mover and a Laker." One reason they're so positive? Abdul-Jabbar is arguing that you can't blame Islam for radical Islamist terrorism.

Created: 03/07/2014 8:21 PM WHEC.com
On Friday, Senator Ted O'Brien and Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle, along with educational and community leaders, announced $1.7 million in state money has been secured.
It's for training programs to help prepare people looking for jobs in our area hopefully allow them to work in high-demand fields.
Senator Ted O'Brien said, "Employers need to have skilled workers or they can't maintain their operations here and it's a serious concern. In our unemployment numbers, we've shown some improvement recently but still are too high."
The funding will grow or create initiatives that will train people as certified nurse assistants, skilled workers for the advanced manufacturing industry and theater managers among other positions.

Whether mass public shootings or individual gun crimes, the threat of being shot is, unfortunately, all too real these days. Of course, we should avoid violent confrontations as much as possible, but what happens when we're in a situation that we can't easily escape from? How can we minimize the chances of being shot or killed by someone with a gun? Well, there are never any guarantees in a situation like this, but Home Security Store has given it some thought and we have a few ideas we'd like to share with you.
Shield Yourself
Police officers wear armored vests while on duty and there's no reason civilians can't shield themselves in a similar fashion. This goes for adults and children as, sadly, young people are sometimes the targets of gun violence, too. Personal security experts and manufacturers know this, which is why items like the Armored Go Pack w/AR500 Armor Pack Plate are offered to the general public. Items like this one offer useful versatility as it is a fully-functional backpack that also contains a Certified Ballistic Plate to help protect a wearer from bullet injuries.
Be a Responsible Gun Owner
If you own a firearm, be sure to take extra care when cleaning and storing your weapon. You may also want to make an extra effort in learning how to properly use it, especially if you've never handled a gun before. It is not unusual for homeowners to make a gun purchase following a break-in or an assault and while protecting yourself from future crimes through gun ownership is your prerogative, you will be in a far better position to do so with proper training and practice. A local gun club or association can help you by providing useful resources and training as a new gun owner.
Invest In a Gun Safe
Unfortunately, a good portion of gun injuries are accidental or are the result of a homeowner's gun falling into the wrong hands. Guns stored in unlocked drawers or on closet shelves are easier to access than guns that are securely locked in sturdy safes. In fact, a heavy safe that cannot be easily transported (i.e. stolen) or a safe that is built into a home is a good idea, in general, for storing other valuables and, thus, decreasing the likelihood of them being stolen.
Keep Strangers At Bay
Your home is your castle and, without an invitation, strangers should seldom be allowed to pass your threshold. It may surprise you to learn how many criminals gain access to a home by merely posing as a salesperson, a utility worker or some other nondescript, but innocent employee. Once a homeowner opens the front door for conversation with an individual like this, it is not uncommon for them to be threatened with a weapon as the criminal forces his (or her!) way inside the home. The best way to avoid these sorts of crimes is to install a video intercom, which allows two-way conversation while a homeowner is at a safe distance…as in behind a closed and locked front door. One of the best-selling video intercoms in our main store, the Comelit Hands Free Expandable Color Intercom Kit, activates a camera the second someone rings a doorbell.
Distance Yourself From Potentially Violent Scenes
Recently, a friend confided in me that she was concerned that her young adult son ran towards an area where a real-life fight was happening at an outdoor event. Of course, her son told her she was being paranoid and overreacting by lecturing him about it, but the reality is that this is often how people are hurt or killed. As a child, I remember my favorite aunt telling me that bullets don't have names on them. In other words, avoid places and situations where violence may erupt, because while a bullet may not be intended for a bystander, the potential for injury is very high whenever an angry person wields a gun.

M. Krishnan shines as an extraordinary naturalist and an inimitable writer in an exquisite collection of his articles, 'Of Birds and Birdsong'. Shanti and Ashish Chandola have done a splendid job of editing and selecting these essays and one can clearly see that this is their 'labour of love'; to have pored through an ocean of work of such a prolific writer like M. Krishnan (their detailed end-notes is a reflection of this labour).
Zafar Futehally, himself such a towering naturalist and a gifted writer, fittingly wrote the 'Foreword' to this lovely book, which takes the reader though the myriad world of birds and their behaviour. A quote from Zafar Futehally sums up this book beautifully: "every piece in this collection has something original even for the seasoned naturalist and even his (Krishnan's) description of common events holds your interest because of his writing".
As a naturalist with a special interest and fascination for birds, I thoroughly enjoyed poring through this gem of a book and savoured every word! The book has been divided thoughtfully into eight sections. The first one, 'Those were the Days', has Krishnan's early 'reflections on bird life', written during mid-1940's and 50's. Krishnan's acerbic humour shines throughout the book. One instance is his piece, 'The poor man's dog', in this section, in which he lampoons the middle class's lack of time or patience for keeping pets. He writes, "The middle class, of course, can never afford it (to keep pets), for in addition to the constant pursuit of living, such folk are hopelessly preoccupied with keeping up appearances — but some day I hope to break clear of the traditions of my class and go in for a Partridge'.
In the same section, 'Seen through a carriage window' he writes about the 'tele-fauna', one can watch as the train chugs along. He writes, "One can convert an otherwise tedious journey into a pleasant trip by watching out for friendly little birds outside. For wherever the railroad goes the telegraph wires follow-interminable perches, specially designed for their (birds) convenience".
In the section, 'Splendour in the wild', Krishnan admires some birds with spectacular plumage and their behaviour. In a piece 'Sea Eagle behaviour' ('The Sea Kings Eyrie'), he writes, "there was a patrician lack of haste about the feeding and flight of these eagles that was impressive; who would believe that it is the same birds that flogged the air above the sea with untiring wings and chased each other in giddy flight, clamouring raucously all the time, earlier in the year!"
'Fond recollections', is a collection of everyday encounters with ordinary birds and this is where Krishnan revels the most in his compelling descriptions, combining his observation skills and his mastery over the English language. He writes about house-crows, as he throws some 'un-palatable chaklis' at them, "One crow was far cleverer at the game than the rest: its interception of the parabolic trajectory of the morsels was sure and easy".
He takes a dig at 'scientific-minded' people who mock at his sentimentality, "… and if science is the elimination of all feeling and perception and an un-willingness to believe what is not printed in a book, then I have no use for it". (Talking about Pied Bush Chats in a piece by the same name, 'Fond Recollections').
Krishnan's descriptions of some of the urban birds ('Birdlife in a City') are fascinating. Writing about the Hoopoe, "there are many birds with highly emotional tails, but here it is the head that wears the crown that is uneasy. The folding and unfolding of the volatile crest express the entire emotional range of the bird, and each passing mood". About the Crow Pheasant, he writes, "The Crow-Pheasant is an unhappily named bird, for it is neither crow nor pheasant but a non-parasitic cuckoo, the sort of cuckoo that takes posterity seriously and builds a nest instead of foisting its eggs on others".
In a delightful piece, 'March Roller', Krishnan's account of the Roller is simply divine! He writes, "For the Roller is sedentary bird at other times, respectable, even gentlemanly in a lazy sort of a way. Then, all at once it sheds its reserve and becomes a thing demented. Love is a powerful influence; even in the highest animals it has been known to induce a sudden, abandoned silliness".
Writing about one of my personal favourite birds, the Green Bee-eater, "The Bee-eater had no difficulty at all in catching its speeding quarry. It sailed out to meet the ill-fated dragonfly at a particular point in its headlong flight, as if by punctilious appointment, plucked it casually from the air and returned to its perch".
Illustrated with Krishnan's quaint black and white sketches, superbly reproduced by Soumen Chakravorty, this is a masterpiece of great nature writing, natural history, and wit at its best, by one of India's greatest naturalists ever. This book is a must read for anybody who is a nature enthusiast or who simply loves prose and is surely a collector's delight!
