When I picture a chick leaving a trailer park to get into the porn industry I've gotta admit, I think of a girl a whole lot like Candice here. She's 21 years old, is a big fan of big black dick, is blonde and sassy and has a butt you'll be dropping your jaw over! There's no doubt about it, Exploited College Girls has featured plenty of girls hotter than Candice here but she's got a fantastic personality and way of speaking…she's a hood rat with a fun body and in this scene she does her best to make Jay bust a nut just from her blowjob! This isn't his first rodeo though, that's for sure, and he takes that suck job just fine…he couldn't shoot a wad before getting a chance to tag that pussy from behind and sure enough, he spun Candice around and started pounding her doggystyle, slapping against that juicy round ass and making Candice's titties bounce and jiggle! She takes a big facial load to finish things off, hoping for a shortcut into the adult industry but apart from that she just plain loves getting a load of cum shot on her face from the looks of things.
This girl Bella looks like she headed straight from her job at Hot Topic and headed directly over to this Exploited College Girls interview! She's a Cali girl from head to toe, from her wild dyed hair to her tattoos and tan to her piercings this chick is a trip! She's got tons of energy and is already getting wet and frisky when Jay starts tickling and teasing her pussy with a vibrator. As soon as she drops to her knees and starts going to town on his cock we can see what she does with all that energy Bella's got cooped up inside, she gives a fantastic blowjob and the dude very nearly busts a nut then and there! He holds on though, lucky for us (it would have been a mighty short update otherwise) and starts pounding that sweet tight little 18 year old pussy of hers while she plays with her clit…Jay couldn't resist the sensation of that teen snatch for long and soon he was giving Bella a big cream facial to finish off her ECG update. Next time you're at the mall and see a cute 18 year old scene girl with tattoos and piercings all over and her hair dyed who-knows-what color, think back to Bella here and in your mind's eye imagine seeing them getting naked and getting drilled!
Lovers of perky, erect nipples rejoice because Kim is here to blow your mind on Exploited College Girls! She's a fit, exotic amateur with round firm titties (with the aforementioned eraser-head nipples that could take an eye out if you're not careful) and a raging libido who is ready to make her first adult hardcore shoot…Kim whips off her clothes, grabs that big hard cock and goes to town on it, sucking the guy and licking it up and down and taking it between her boobs for a little tittyfucking before going for a ride in the guy's lap. I think Kim is a Filipina, that's my best guess…she's also got a bit of a double-standard, she says she doesn't particularly like sex toys or makeup because she doesn't like 'fake things' but hey at the same time she's sitting there with a pair of pretty damn fake titties hanging off her chest! Anyway, she gets that pussy spread open and fingerbanged and licked and fucked, taking Kim to the peaks of ecstasy in a massive shuddering screaming orgasm. She sucks Jay's cock, giving him a mighty fine blowjob before going for a ride in his lap with some cowgirl fun (she's from the south so I guess they figured she'd naturally dig on some cowgirl action), getting her pussy jackhammered until she came all over it! Jay follows suit blasting a big facial on her, spraying cum all over her face and those fake titties to finish things off here.
There's no way this is the first chick on Exploited College Girls to go by the name Bella, I think it's at least the third. Anyway she's a cute Latina with a girl-next-door type of look to her, not incredible in any one particular area but a thumbs-up all around if you understand what I'm saying. Cute face, cute butt, cute tits, Bella isn't going to blow your mind but she does get into some fun sexy action in this hot scene! One of her best features if you ask me is that mouth of hers, she's got dick-sucking lips for sure and puts them to work here as she licks and sucks this guy's cock…it must feel like having a couple of pillows wrapped around your dong to have this girl suck you off. She gets her amateur pussy tickled and penetrated by toys and fingers and then takes on Jay's dick, getting fucked good and hard before having a fantastic very natural orgasm while he was pounding her doggystyle! She cums all over the guy's cock and then gets a nice juicy load of cum shot into her hole for a creampie…if she wants to make it as a pornstar instead of just doing a one off she'll need to get used to that!
This chick Anastasia starts out her Exploited College Girls update on a mighty fine note if you ask me…she was putting on makeup and doing her hair and stuff and the guy lifted up her skirt to reveal that cute perfect little butt of hers! I'm a sucker for a sexy ass and I bet you are too…and I damn well know the ECG guy is too, that's for sure. I never really understood why these girls spend so much time getting all gussied up and doing their hair when they're just going to get their faces pushed into the sheets and their hair grabbed as they suck cock, but hey who's gonna argue? This cute blonde teen spinner has sweet perky titties, she's a little shy to start off with (and maybe doesn't have a ton of experience sucking cock, from the look of things) but soon warms up and makes for a very hot update…that sexy little butt of hers is like a secret weapon, just wait til she gets her ass in the air and takes this guy's dick doggystyle! She gets that tight little teen cunt rocked by Jay, he's probably the first guy to fuck that hole who knew what he was doing, and then drops to her knees to get a massive creamy facial finish! This cute freckled amateur is adorable, and from the sounds she's making as she orgasms she had a blast in her ECG debut.
22 year old Ariel here might be a bit of a mumblemouth and is certainly not going to be doing any acne medication commercials anytime soon (unless they have an opening for the Before example) but she does have huge 36D titties and loves to play with her pussy, making her a natural for Exploited College Girls! She also is a bit of a submissive, loving to just lay back and take care of a big hard dick in any way her man wants…that works out well for Jay here, who gets to slide his cock into her mouth and tease her pussy with a vibrator before ramjamming his dick in her hole! She didn't cum from the vibrator tease but has a big shuddering orgasm while he's pounding away at her hole so apparently it's just the sensation of having a cock in her snatch that does her in…seeing those big full titties of hers bouncing around would drive any guy crazy and sure enough Jay fucks the hell out of her, then has Ariel drop to her knees to take a huge cream facial that leaves her frosted up from hairline to chin, dripping down onto those magnificent big breasts! ECG has had a nice streak lately of hot amateurs with nice big boobs, I hope they keep it rolling…
If you're in the mood for a pair of big natural juicy titties this chick Alyson is about to make your day with her Exploited College Girls update! Alyson's a fairly MILF-looking 25 years young with big double-D's swinging in front of her and a smile that just makes the sun rise. She's not the most drop dead beautiful girl they've ever had on but just has this sunny disposition that makes this scene a joy to watch as this horny amateur strips down to the bare essentials and has multiple orgasms before she even gets face to face with Jay's big hard cock! Big tits, huge shaking orgasms, cute face, nice soft ass, what more could there be…oh how about a very enthusiastic deep blowjob? She gives him one of those, deepthroating his dick before getting flipped over and pounded doggystyle and reverse cowgirl for even more orgasms! Jay was getting a little jealous of all her cumming so he figured it was high time for one of his own, fucking that hole a bit more and then blasting her with a big facial that sprayed all over those huge soft perfect breasts as well! Hopefully the chunk of change she made for doing this hot hardcore Exploited College Girls update will pay for some bras, I'd imagine she goes through them like most people go through chewing gum!
Get ready because this may come as a surprise, but this chick Mia wearing the black clothing with black lipstick and a collar on is into BDSM fun! I know, alert the press and get out a mop because people just had their minds blown by that piece of news. She's cute as hell and is here on Exploited College Girls to get that sweet tight pussy blasted and have a good time, and she definitely gets her wishes fulfilled in this scene! Mia starts out getting her pussy tickled and teased, having a very vocal real orgasm as the guy slips his fingers and a vibrator onto that quivering clit…and this is before he even introduces her pussy to his big hard cock! This horny beautiful teen gets the pounding of a lifetime here on ECG, getting her g-spot tickled and poked and prodded making her cum again and again on that dick until finally he returns the favor by shooting a load of cum into her hole for a creampie finish! This amateur cutie has a lovely face, beautiful titties and a nice tight young body that looks fantastic as she gets her pussy wowed here in a red hot hardcore scene. She might look like she could be a backup dancer in a goth music video but man this girl is white-hot!
It's always a bit of a variable when a new girl shows up at Exploited College Girls to make her first adult scene, sometimes they're just a trainwreck or chicken out when it comes down to it, but then again sometimes you get a girl like Anna here! She's a cute 22 year old blonde with a thirst for cock and an ass that demands to be fucked…and if you've seen ECG in the past you know they don't exactly shy away from anal! If a girl is up for it this dude is all about giving her a backdoor bang and Anna here was definitely up for it. She's skinny as hell so hopefully she uses whatever pocketfull of cash they gave her for this update to go buy a few cheeseburgers…somehow though even with her skinny frame she's got a nice round ass, making that tight pucker back there even more of a tempting target. Anna also sucks cock like a champ, her gag reflex seems pretty much non-existent so she's able to deepthroat that cock more or less effortlessly. There are girls who tolerate anal and there are those special few who LOVE anal, and then on top of that stack there are the golden girls like Anna who like it so much they orgasm from it! She gets her pussy and face fucked but you can tell she's really craving a nice hard anal pounding and the guy is more than okay with getting to that dessert, pounding away at her balloon knot until she goes ass-to-mouth and sucks out a nice big load that frosts her from chin to hair!
Prepare your socks because they're about to get blown off by this chick on Exploited College Girls, the drop dead gorgeous Felicity! She's beautiful, has a downright perfect body, she loves to dance and has big natural tits that look incredible in clothes and out of them…she also is a huge fan of sex and her enthusiasm certainly spills over into the bedroom as you'll soon see! A lot of the amateur girls they get on ECG are cute or have nice bodies or sometimes both but it's pretty rare to get a girl who goes above and beyond on both of those…Felicity is one of those rare exceptions so sit back and relax and enjoy because you're getting some of the cream of the crop here. This 22 year old hottie starts off with a little dance to show off her cute animal print bra and panties before unleashing those big glorious breasts and that sweet tight firm ass, sculpted by yoga and dance to perfection! After stripping down naked Felicity takes this guy's big dick in her hole, moaning her way to multiple orgasms as he pounds that sweet tight pussy before she climbed onto his lap, riding him nice and hard with those big tits bouncing in his face like a pair of dreams…no man on Earth can withstand that for long and soon he's blasting a huge facial all over those lovely features of hers…easily among the top Exploited College Girls updates of the past few months.
This gorgeous 23 year old redhead Ashlynne apparently just because a mother before her Exploited College Girls shoot (proof is in the pudding, so to speak, as she squirts out a sploosh of milk from her big full titties) so she's a young and stunning MILF apparently! She's ready to do a red hot hardcore shoot for a little extra cash…having a new kid can be a financial nightmare I hear! She realized that she's a knockout with a hot and sexy body and puts it to work in this scene as she gives the casting director guy a fantastic blowjob…she says she loves sucking dick and from this update I'd say she wasn't lying about it! This girl is just hot as hell all around…a beautiful smile, gorgeous eyes, cute hair, incredible fit body, great personality, just a win-win all over the damn place and ECG is lucky enough to be able to fuck her on camera! Speaking of the fucking, Ashlynne orgasms all over the place in almost all the positions this guy pounds her hole in and then takes a big load of cum directly into the mouth to finish off this red hot hardcore action! Fans of lactation, fans of big tits, fans of redheads, and just plain fans of beautiful horny women are gonna get their days made by this girl, check it out and see what you think.
One look at this gorgeous Asian babe Jade and you'll see why she just about blew this guy's mind in her Exploited College Girls update…she's a stunner with a beautiful lean body, has nice perky b-cup breasts and a cute little ass that looks like a dream! Her pride and joy though is that incredibly tight little pussy of hers…when Jay slides his big rock-hard dick inside that wet hole he can barely keep from blasting her right off with an instant cumshot like a paper wrapper on a straw when you blow into the other end! Somehow he holds on and gives Jade a nice (albeit pretty brief, for him) hard pounding before finally blasting off and giving her a nice deep creampie. She could probably have pulled his cock right off his body with that tight little cunt of hers, but luckily she had mercy and resisted the temptation! This girl is certainly one of the hottest models I've seen on Exploited College Girls, and if you don't believe me just look at those sweet titties of hers as she gets that vicegrip of a pussy fucked.
This chick Sophia has a big round juicy booty and a big appetite for cock as she makes her introduction to the porn world via Exploited College Girls here! She's an absolute horndog and starts things off by telling some of her sex stories as she does her hair, describing how for example one time she was the meat in a brother-brother sandwich. I'd say that makes her just the right type of girl for ECG, wouldn't you? Sophia undresses and hops on the bed, showing off a ton of tattoos and her perky little titties before sucking this guy's cock and then bending over to get her wet amateur pussy drilled! She had been playing with herself the whole time, dipping her fingers in and out of her cunt to drive herself crazy and get the juices flowing. That big round ass of hers looks incredible when she's on her hands and knees and we're watching in first-person POV as the guy pounds that pussy from behind…she gets a nice hard pounding in this scene, finally dropping to her knees to take a big facial frosting! Now I mean let's not dance around it, this girl isn't gonna win any beauty contests anytime soon but hey when her face is buried in the pillows and that big booty is up in the air she's pretty hot!
I have never seen a pair of tits this big on a chick in an Exploited College Girls update, these are one of a kind…or two of a kind, I guess, since it's a pair! Meet Morgan, a sexy amateur blonde with a cute face, nice round ass and, buckle up for safety, 36DDD titties that look incredible! Some chicks have huge boobs but they look terrible once they're out of the bra, sometimes the breasts are hanging down to their knees or maybe they just have some huge weird looking areolas or whatever, but not Morgan here! Her tits look incredible in and out of her clothes and she obviously loves them, squeezing them together and playing with them in her ECG introduction interview…she knew the guy was staring and was almost mesmerized by them too obviously, she kept talking about how big and soft and bouncy they were and I'm sure if she had told the guy to walk off a cliff at that point we'd be down by one cameraman! Morgan strips out of her red bra and panties to start things off here, getting her pussy buzzed with a vibrator bringing her to orgasm already and trust me when I say, this girl is very very turned on…you can hear how wet her pussy is as the guy pounds away at her hole, making her moan as those big gorgeous tits of hers went for a hypnotic sort of a dance with every thrust! Finally she came again on top of his cock before he pulled out and hosed her down with a big cum facial.
It's a rare day to find a threesome on Exploited College Girls…in fact I don't even think I can remember a single other one! Two of the hottest updates in recent ECG history, Penny and Daisy, are teaming up to take on this hard cock in a threesome that will leave you sweating bullets! If you missed out on either of them, Penny has her solo scene there and here is Daisy in her red hot update just to catch you up on things. As you can see these girls are both hot as hell so you're in for a special treat when the two of them get together to join forces like some kind of sexy Voltron! It turns out the girls were friends so the ECG guy had the very clever idea of bringing them both back at the same time and of course they had a blast…these girls went back and forth having orgasm after orgasm, making out and 69ing each other as well as of course sucking and fucking the dude's hard cock and taking some nice anal poundings! Penny and Daisy both love eating pussy and both love getting fucked and Daisy in particular gets off on having her balloon knot poked so she was the recipient of the hot hard anal fuck session while Penny licked her cunt. To finish things off with a bang, Jay positioned both girls at the foot of the bed so they could both work his cock over with their hands and lips and tongues before finally blasting them both with a nice big creamy double facial to remember their special day by! I wouldn't be surprised if these two horny hotties got together outside of the site as well after a session like this, they both love a little lesbian experimentation and obviously have a hell of a lot of chemistry between them!
I don't know what it is but that combination you see above is just unspeakably sexy…I know most women prefer to have a matching set of bra and panties but if you ask me, a little mix-and-match like Angela here is sporting is way hotter. Anyway, Angela is ready to make a bit of extra cash here on Exploited College Girls as she strips down and lets out her inner cumslut! She's a midwestern blonde 21 year old hottie with cute perky a-cup titties and a butt you could bounce pocket change off of and she looks innocent and inexperienced at first glance but once she starts deepthroating this dude's big dick you'll see her true form! Angela just plain loves getting pounded and is already wet in her pussy when she strips down naked on the bed for Jay to play with her snooch. Soon he's got her cumming all over the place by way of his fingers and some toys and that's before he even gives her hole a pounding! This cute petite blonde is fucking adorable and sexy as hell, and I think the dude doing the fucking in this ECG update kinda fell for her a bit. Are those wedding bells I hear? It's hard to tell over the sound of Angela having these massive moaning orgasms.
In her introductory interview, the guy behind the camera points out that Daisy here is one of those rare women who is just basically up for anything and enjoys it all! She's 21 years old with a sweet body with those perky little titties and a nice juicy ass…she also has a ton of piercings, 22 if I remember right! Having more piercings than the number of years you've been alive seems like overkill to me but hey, Daisy enjoys them so who are we to judge. Daisy loves getting fucked, she loves sucking cock (watch the nice deepthroat blowjob she gives the guy here) and absolutely loves getting her ass pounded! Not many chicks really dig anal but Daisy here is one of the exceptions…watch as this hottie gets naked for Exploited College Girls and goes to work on that dick, sucking and fucking it and having multiple moaning orgasms! She takes his cock deep in her pussy and then turns around to get into some hot anal reverse cowgirl pounding before finally taking a nice big facial. Well it was SUPPOSED to be a facial, Daisy is just such a cumslut she couldn't help but take as much as she could in her mouth and swallow it down! Basically if you only like chicks with huge tits you're gonna be disappointed but basically that's the only way this chick will be anything less than stellar.
Some girls get self-conscious about their bodies and want to keep things under wraps so to speak but then there are women like sexy little goth spinner Lexi here! She's got a set of fake tits that she obviously loves and probably the sexiest thing in the world is a woman who loves her body. Lexi shows off her blowjob skills as she gets those big titties out, licking and sucking the guy and taking him deep in her throat before spreading her legs to get that tight little pussy drilled! Her favorite position of this Exploited College Girls update is when she sits on the guy's lap, riding him and bouncing her tight little ass up and down as she takes every inch of that meatstick in her hole. The guy rocks her snatch front and back and left and right before getting pinned to the bed and fucked to orgasm…she cums all over his cock and I guess the guy got so turned on that he was ready to bust a nut too, giving her a huge facial that dripped off her face onto her big fake boobs!
This tall busty blonde hottie is Penny and she's ready to do her first scene here on Exploited College Girls! She pulls off her top to show off those beautiful perfect firm D-cup breasts and can hardly wait to get her pants off before sliding her hands down between her thighs to play with her pussy! This amateur bombshell nympho loves having fun with a hard cock and definitely gets her fill in this update, giving the guy a nice blowjob and then taking the cock between her boobs for a little tittyfucking action. Some girls you can just tell they absolutely live for sucking dick and Penny here licks that fuckstick like there are diamonds in the middle of it! Somehow the guy holds in his load through this amazing oral action and is able to give her the hard pussy pounding she was begging for, spreading those long smooth legs to penetrate her shaved hole as deep as he could…Penny moaned her way to orgasm and then drops to her knees to pump out a load of cum onto her face for a little self-inflicted facial to finish off this hot ECG update!
This cute short haired teen is Toni, and she's making her way to Exploited College Girls to film her first adult hardcore scene! You know, it's nice when chicks show up at ECG for the paycheck and the promise of a future in the adult industry, but it's ten times hotter when the girl is doing it because it just sounds like fun! That's what Toni here is up to, she loves getting a hard cock in her pussy and man with a cute tight body like hers the pleasure goes all around, so to speak…this teen is hot as hell, especially that sweet round bubble butt of hers! She gets a good hard pounding in this sexy update, even getting a little surprise squirting in when she rides that cock in just the right way for her sweet bushy pussy! That's right, she's not clean shaven like 99 percent of the girls in the porn industry nowadays, she has a little natural hair down there and it looks great on her. Toni gets a fantastic pounding, bending over to get her pussy filled up with cock doggystyle and then taking a big load of cum in her hole for a creampie finish!
Sexy Rachel here used to be quite a bit heavier and fucked quite a gaggle of guys to boost her self esteem a bit but now she's more comfortable with how she looks, she's lost some weight and is fucking hot as hell if you ask me! She's here on Exploited College Girls making her first forays into the adult industry, so I guess she's VERY comfortable with her body…not that there's much to take exception with; she's got a sweet round ass and perky little boobies and loves getting her tight wet pussy played with. In fact she loves it so much that she has a big squirting orgasm as the guy 'warms her up' so to speak with a vibrator, before she even gets her hands around and lips on his big hard cock! After a nice blowjob she spreads her legs and lays back to get drilled, taking that big dick to the hilt and moaning, getting fucked nice and deep until the guy shot his load inside her hole for a nice creampie that oozed right out of her sweet shaved snatch!

DEFINITION of 'Defeased Securities'
Securities that have been secured by another asset, such as cash or a cash equivalent, by the debt-issuing firm. Firms that have created defeased securities, which are typically bonds, will have sufficient cash set aside for retirement of the debt upon maturity.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Defeased Securities'
For example, the U.S. government could place the funds necessary to pay off a series of Treasury bonds in a trust account specifically created to pay the outstanding bonds upon maturity. The government sets aside these funds to ensure that it has enough cash to pay its bonds when they are due. Commonly, defeased securities are retractable.
Securities than can be defeased will often carry a lower yield than comparable securities, as the option to retire the debt early favors the issuer and caps the potential investment return for the bondholder. However, for a risk averse investor, this feature proves beneficial because it lowers the default risk of the security.

Question regarding blade removal on TORO, model 20057.
rredogg(5/Chicago Area)March 10, 2013
Plan on changing out the blade. To remove the bolt do you go counter-clockwise or does the bolt have reverse threads?
Thanks in advance, rredogg
Normal RH threads - left to loosen. Turn the mower up on it's side with the carburetor side high, oil drain low. Disconnect and ground out the spark plug connector wire. Turn the blade straight up and down. Put a piece of 2x4 on the leading edge of the lower blade end and stand on it. Put your wrench or ratchet on the bolt head with the handle to the left so you can use your weight on it. It should loosen.

Jeffrey Graham | June 12, 2002 | Comments
Cross-media measurement begets cross-media education. That's good news for traditional marketers who need to justify their online buys.
The needs of traditional advertisers are driving the evolution of online advertising. That's a good thing. Blue-chip marketers' experience makes the industry smarter and more focused on delivering quantifiable results against specific objectives.
Above all, traditional advertisers' influence creates (in some cases, reinforces) a very important shift in the attitudes of publishers and agencies. Instead of positioning the Web as an alternative to offline media spending, the Web is being sold as a valuable and effective complement to broadcast and print advertising.
Finally, the industry is making some sense. Instead of griping over the fact enormous budgets are spent on TV and trying to siphon some of those dollars into the Web, the most successful agencies and publishers are now trying help advertisers understand how they can extend their reach and effectiveness by using the Web as part of an integrated campaign.
Understanding how the Web fits into cross-media campaigns isn't only an industry priority -- it's important for brand managers who want to reach their customers online. Here's why:
Most marketers are waking up to the fact their target is online. They must make an effort to reach their audience there. Helping them understand how to leverage the Web in a way that complements their other marketing investments is the key to our future success.

"The Paramilitary Show" This may sound like some dress parade of shadowy armed guerilla groups, but it's actually an art exhibition at the Houston Fire Museum, organized by Apama Mackey Gallery and featuring the work of eight artists. Standout works include Ronald Moran's giant pair of army boots, taller than a man, which greet you when you walk in the door. Crafted from white quilt batting, the massive objects appear ethereal and cloudlike. Walk up the stairs and you can smell burnt wood. It's Patrick Renner's art; Renner constructed a cluster of long, slender wooden ladders, their ends singed. They're kind of Dr. Seuss and kind of disturbing at the same time. The museum is in an old fire station — the second floor housed the living quarters and locker room for the firemen. For opening night, Ariane Roesch hung her work behind a shower curtain. Her soft sculpture incorporated a centerfold and a red-plastic button that made the sound of a siren when you pushed it. Siren — siren, get it? But if you didn't see this work opening night, you're not going to. It's gone. The museum judged it too steamy for touring schoolchildren. Through September 19. Houston Fire Museum, 2403 Milam Street, 713-524-2526. —KK
"Adela Andea: The Green™ cyber web" Adela Andea's work in Lawndale's Project Space is one of the best installations the space has seen. The Romanian-born artist has created an environment that feels both techno and surreal, with a dash of Kafka. It's reminiscent of an Eastern European disco — in a good way. Andea crafted giant spiders and shell- or cocoon-like shapes in white hydrocal, lit from within by a harsh reddish-orange light. The jointed, motorized spider legs move slowly and ominously. Short, slender, glowing rods of cold cathode fluorescent light in green and blue hang all over the room, with wires forming a tangled kind of web. The lights alter the colors in the room, turning it from, say, orange into the color of past-the-date beef. Small, square LED case fans (used to cool computers) are suspended in the space, spinning and humming, shaking slightly with their effort. It's an incredibly strange and highly original environment, and the seemingly disparate elements work together to create something otherworldly. Through September 26. Lawndale Art Center, 4912 Main, 713-528-5858. — KK

"Great but flawed"
I first discovered this entire series as a child and loved them then. Listening to them as an adult, I find them even more remarkable. However, this particular edition (or at least my download) of All Things Wise and Wonderful has a major flaw. It seems that at some point, the dvds the Audible edition was created from was put out of order. The end of the book occurs about an hour or so before the recording actually ends. I suspect that a single dvd was placed out of order.
Other than that, these are remarkable stories about fascinating people and animals. I highly recommend them.

From Simon Cowell to Prince William: There's only one thing worse than the old 1970s dad – and that's the new dad
The old dad would never get mushy-eyed over nappies and 'feelings'
It was sweet yet slightly disconcerting to see Simon Cowell cooing his pride that he would soon be a father. Not that babies aren't delightful, they're smashing – in other people's houses, mainly, in half-hour bursts – but Cowell was probably the last man we'd have envisaged slipping into the male baby-babble twilight zone.
Until recently he was an archetypal unreconstructed bloke. His hobbies included smoking ciggies, making dollars, humiliating Louis Walsh and persuading his ex-girlfriend Sinitta to wear pants. After that, our intelligence on Simon's thoughts and feelings was slim pickings. Then, kerpow! With the emergence of news of a fertilised egg lurking within his friend's wife's innards, Simon's touchy-feely factor was turned up to 11. "Things are changing in my life right now, for the better," he said, sounding like the opening bars of a John Cougar Mellencamp track.
Earlier in the week, Prince William gave a lengthy, rather mushy interview about his feelings as the daddy of little George. The first nappy. The importance of driving his family home. I tried to envisage William's father giving a similar interview in the 1980s. But Charles always was old school. The only thing Charles gets emotional about is wonky guttering and sales downturns on his Duchy Originals ginger biscuits. When it came to babies, the man was an emotional Gobi Desert.
The all-new, starry-eyed dad – a man who has found great perspective and enlightenment via his sperm striking lucky (or damn unlucky, but he's softened to the idea) – is a modern phenomenon. It's charming, I'm fascinated by it, but also unnerved. Once we could count on half of the population – the penis-owning half – to manage to reproduce without losing its marbles, taking four weeks off work, changing its Twitter avatar to a creepy baby's footprint and merrily updating people on the consistency of their offspring's last crap.
"It was like a pellet! We were sooooo relieved as little Beryl's not done a poo for two whole days and…" new dad, on and on and on, ignoring the world's expression of sad dismay.
New dad is now every bit as lost in the journey as new mum. The 1970s dad didn't go on a "journey", not even to Boots to buy breast pads. He did not crouch beside a home-birth pool with a small sieve on a stick retrieving birthing matter. No, 1970s dad was at a darts tournament. (The midwife could ring the Prince's Head and ask for Frank if there was any news).
Interestingly, 1970s journo dad found his new fatherhood not to be news at all. He didn't call his editor and ask to write almost exclusively for the next few years about his wife's postpartum bleeding, or how he felt about lads' mags and lapdancers through his new enlightened eyes, or how blissful his babymoon was.
No, he let the ladies get on with the self-indulgent "Ooooh, I'm the first human being ever to push a baby out of my bits" waffle while he penned something meaningful about the latest Middle East crisis.
Dads of yesteryear didn't consult their sports shop on what papoose might be most suitable for cross trail running. The only place they were running was far away, very fast, from the screaming lump. In fact, they felt exactly like Prince William let slip that he felt in the final comments of his gushing interview, when he admitted he couldn't wait to get back to shift work so he could get some proper sleep.
Perhaps the biggest shift in behaviour with modern dad is that he's better at talking a very good game.
Only one direction for Louis: out!
As the photos appeared from this week's One Direction film premiere – the boys stood in a sullen line enduring yet another migraine-inducing screaming session from hordes of gibbering girls – I played my favourite boy band game: "Who'll jump ship first?"
My money right now is on Louis Tomlinson (pictured with girlfriend Eleanor Calder), for no other reason than his permanent expression which screams: "I outgrew these clots 11 months ago. Help me. SOS!"
Three years is a long time for any boy to be marketed like a product, for 4am taxi pick-ups and to have one's parents' front hedge used as a fan club HQ. It's a long time to sing the same moronic lyrics six times daily, answer the same question about your favourite sock colour in 17 different languages, and have your girlfriend called names on the internet 1,000 times an hour.
I hope, when it happens, the Samaritans are ready with backup.
Someone must answer for these shocking calls
The annoying telephone cold call just got a damn sight colder. For the past eight weeks, prisoners at HMP Oakwood, near Wolverhampton, and Drake Hall women's prison in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, have been paid £20 a week to cold-call home-owners and fish for insurance details. Inmates in headsets sit in specially built prison call centres, clutching a script, phoning householders to ask what valuables they own.
How exciting! I was, after all, a little bored with my nightly bickerings with harmless yet annoying idiots cold-calling to offer me cheap gas. Now, in a wonderful Russian roulette-style game, I can potentially argue with actual banged-up criminals. I can slam the phone down on people perhaps imprisoned for rape, murder, burglary or just plain old fraud. People who have access to my postcode, my full name and a good long time to think about where I live.
Or perhaps you're a compliant soul? You can just have a nice chat, tell them how many laptops you have and when you're off on holiday. I'm not against prisoners learning skills – I'm all for it – but in this case I'd like all my calls diverted to the residence of Justice Minister Chris Grayling.

Patient Reviews
Dr. Jewett did a Total Knee Replacement on me in January of 2012. I'm just past the third anniversary of that new right knee now.
Almost everything important to me has to do with my being able to use my legs - walking, hiking, bicycling. If I don't get out every day and move those big muscles in some way, a big part of the enjoyment of that day is missing, and I just don't feel complete or whole. For ten years before my surgery, I continued to walk and hike, but the cost was increasingly severe pain - until that cost almost overwhelmed the payoff.
Now, three years later, sometimes the sole motivation for my getting out for a walk is just to relish the sensation of walking without pain. I think about - and am grateful for - that freedom from pain every single day and it makes me happy.
I worked hard on my rehab, and in May, about 5 months post-surgery I was hiking regularly. I ventured on an overnight backpacking trip in July and in September did a multi-day trek through the Eagle Cap wilderness, climbing up (and more notably down) Eagle Cap with no pain. It was truly like magic. I've since been up South Sister (I didn't think I'd ever see that summit again before my surgery) on a good strong painless right knee. In May of the next year, I trained for and rode a hilly Century in Montana.
I've celebrated with treks through Oregon, California, and Hawaii. Mind you, hiking gets a little harder as I get older, but my legs haven't felt so strong in 15 years. Last year, I spent three weeks hiking and backpacking in New Zealand. Again, something I thought I'd never be able to do.
Dr. Jewett really has given me my life back, and I just wanted to let him know how important that is to me and how much I appreciate his work. Thank you.
-- Wes Y.
"I had hip replacement surgery on January 20th of this year. I had trouble with pain for about ten years, and it was continuing to get worse as time went by. I made the decision to have the replacement after I started using aspirin on a regular basis and it was losing its effectiveness. Dr. Jewett said that he could fix the problem. I was worried that I would be more limited in my activities after the surgery. Dr. Jewett said it would be fine. I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything went. It started with the prep work at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend and the check-in process went very smooth.
The surgery itself was a lot less painful than I expected, and I was on my feet the evening of surgery. I used a walker the first day, and crutches the next two weeks until I went to my therapist. He then gave me a cane, and said I would not be using it very long. I used the cane for about three weeks, while doing all the therapy that was recommended. At no time was the pain anywhere near as bad as it was before the operation. My therapy went so well that the therapist didn't really know what to do with me after the first three or four sessions.
Now nine months later, I don't walk with a limp, can bike twenty miles with no pain afterward, have walked up Mt. Pishgah, do yard work, and do my volunteer work for the Eugene Police Department with no pain. I am most certainly pleased with the success of my operation. Also, a special thanks to Dr. Jewett and the staff at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend for making my stay a pleasant experience. Thank you!" -- Daniel M.
"In February and March, I had five injections in my knees. As an avid exerciser, it has been a delight to return to mobility, better balance, endurance, and pace. This summer, I have been able to walk, and golf 18 holes on consecutive days, bicycle 30 miles, and more in the San Juan Islands, begin to jog a bit, and think about spring triathlons! I appreciate the expertise and care that I received at Slocum, and encourage others to seek assistance." -- Catherine A.
"After 3 years of pain and financial insecurity (I couldn't do my garden/landscaping work), I finally had the opportunity to have hip surgery. I was stubborn about getting better and getting my old life back. I did my therapy like a trooper. When I woke up from the surgery on February 10th, I was amazed how much better it felt already. I know part of that were the pain pills, but it never once hurt as much as it did before the surgery. Now I am back to gardening, care giving, bicycle riding, and even dancing! I would say that it took me a good 3 weeks to be completely on my own again, but I was driving a stick shift after 2 weeks, and it really was an easier recovery than I had imagined. I still try to take it easy because of course, there's the other hip that could be a factor. I am walking without a limp and my friends say it took 15 years off my age. I can truly say that I am much happier now, and the rest of my life will be much different, in a miraculous way. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Jewett, and the amazing staff that helped me through. Thank you to the stars!" -- Michelle P.
"In February 2010, my wife Nancy, and I moved from Portland to Eugene. In February 2011, Nancy and I were on vacation at a campground near San Diego in our motor home. While walking normally from the motor home's kitchen to the living room, Nancy's left femur spontaneously snapped (we both heard it). I was sitting on the sofa, and she fell into my lap with extreme pain. We called the paramedics, who came to the campground, and rushed Nancy to the nearest hospital. The hospital surgeon inserted a rod and large screw, which is routine for this type of fracture. But Nancy's recovery was far from routine….
Throughout the recovery process, Nancy was in extreme pain, and was given very high doses of pain medication. Because of the pain, she was unable to progress in her physical therapy. As it turned out, the first surgery had failed, and the large screw had come loose. Also, there were signs of serious infection. It's a very long story but, after two surgeries and three months in three different San Diego area skilled nursing facilities, x-rays showed that the second surgery had failed also, the screw has come loose again. Because of the medication, Nancy was barely conscious, and had become under-nourished, and lost about 30 pounds. I was afraid that she was not going to make it. Fortunately for us, our daughter-in-law, Angela, was employed by Slocum. She asked Dr. Jewett if he would accept Nancy as a patient, mind you we had to get her from San Diego to Eugene/Springfield. Thank God, he said, "yes!"
Our son Tim and daughter Heidi flew to San Diego to accompany us to Sacred Heart Hospital at Riverbend in the motor home. First, paramedics transferred Nancy from the nursing home to the motor home on a stretcher. Then, we drove straight through to Riverbend, which was 1,000 miles, in less than 24 hours. Angela had hospital staff waiting to unload Nancy and get her to a room. Dr. Jewett took x-rays and found severe bone and muscle destruction in the left hip area. He performed a complete left hip replacement. We found out much later that he didn't think Nancy would ever walk again. After two months in a Eugene skilled nursing facility, Nancy finally came home. It had been over five months since the fracture in San Diego. Over the next six months, Nancy received outstanding physical therapy from Camilla Fortune in Slocum's physical therapy department. Camilla provided physical and emotional support during Nancy's recovery. Nancy is now able to walk on her own with a slight limp. Nancy and I both feel that Dr. Jewett probably saved Nancy's life, and he certainly gave her back her mobility. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Jewett, Camilla, Angela, Heidi, Tim, Slocum and Riverbend Hospital." -- Nancy and Dave S.
"Dr. Jewett replaced my left hip eight years ago, and because of that great experience, I choose him for my recent total knee replacement. Dr. Jewett explained every aspect of the operation, and what to expect after, as well as the rehab and physical therapy. I've have recommended Slocum to many people who have had hip and knee problems, and have heard good reviews from them as to their experiences. I can't thank the staff and nurses enough for their kindness and understanding of a patient's condition when they first see them. Keep up the great work you all do." -- Bryon N.
"I had bi-lateral knee replacements in Jan. 2013. Dr. Jewett was absolutely the best doctor! I did everything he set down for me to do, did my therapy as instructed, kept my pain under control, and am totally pleased with my knees today, Sept. 2014. I swim three days a week, ride an "Aerodyne" bike twice daily, and still do the exercises prescribed by Dr. Jewett and my physical therapist. My knee pain is gone! I commend Dr. Jewett and his staff as well as Riverbend Hospital and their staff. I am well pleased with the results!" -- Valerie H.
"I am very grateful for the treatment and kindness of Dr. Brian Jewett, and some of his staff, whose names I do not know for sure. Everyone at Slocum is amazing. The professionalism, kindness, and devotion are totally amazing. I feel it is a gift of kindness and professionalism to be a patient of Dr. Jewett and his team. It is a miracle. My thought is that Slocum should be a teaching program for other physicians in Eugene as to how to treat their patients, and how it is that physicians might learn to be with their clients, almost like a school if you will, for doctors that do not know what their oath means, and thus those other doctors ignore and insult their clients. Slocum doctors HONOR that oath. I have recommended several people to Dr. Jewett, and they have been very happy in meeting and being a patient of his. Thank you for the opportunity to send my thanks and devotion to a great team and doctor, as is Dr. Jewett." -- Fern R.
"I have been a patient off and on with Slocum doctors since 1986. I had a bicycle injury that caused damage to tendons in my right knee. Dr. Straub was my attending doctor before the Slocum Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine was formed. Arthroscopic surgery was needed. He was a great doctor and his staff was professional and knowledgeable. Move forward to 2006. My right hip replacement was performed in 2007 and then my left hip replacement was in 2009. Dr. Jewett performed both surgeries. I was treated also by Slocum Center physical therapy. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and all the staff really care about your progress.
In 2010, Dr. Tavakolian saw me for right wrist pain. Then by 2013, it needed surgery, thumb arthroplasty. No complications after surgery and it healed up quickly. The Slocum Center has top notch, state-of-the-art procedures that give you your livelihood back, performed by excellently trained surgeons. Thank you, Slocum Center for making my life more active and for taking away the pain!" -- Gail C.
"Five years ago, I had a total left hip replacement and it gave me the freedom to do all my activities once again. Dr. Jewett, after looking at the hip x-ray the first time, guessed I would need to replace the right hip in about five years. He was right on the money. I'm one week out of surgery from right hip replacement and am already walking with one crutch. The stitches have healed. He came to visit me each day in the hospital and made sure I had everything I needed. If you need time to talk, he focuses on you and your concerns. With him, I don't have to worry. He is the man as far as I'm concerned for replacing hips. He knows what he's doing, his staff is the best, and his communication system is so great. I wonder why other doctors don't follow his lead." -- Valerie B.

Fertilizing sod
This is my first post after some heavy duty lurking over the last 6 months. I have learned a lot here and thanks to all who post replies on this forum. A little background... I have been struggling with thin grass, soil compaction, crabgrass, broad-leaf weeds and patch disease over the last several years while following a traditional chemical weed & feed approach and (I now realize) poor cultural practices (esp. mowing too low and watering too frequently). Decided to make the shift to organic this fall. Living on a corner lot, my lawn is divided into several sections. The sunny areas were so taken over with weeds and dead grass from patch disease that they had to be replanted. In mid Sept., I had all the sunny sections raked out and brought in several yards of a 50/50 mix of topsoil and compost. Then added an organic fertilizer (made by Jonathan Green), then rolled the dirt, then installed sod, rolled again and watered. The sod is loving it. It is deep green, and thick with no seam lines and is rooted into the soil. After about 3 weeks, it reached 5-6" in height, so I mowed it using the highest setting on my mower.
Now to my question ... should I fertilize again with the Jonathan Green before winter? As I said, the sod was put down in mid-Sept so it has been in for one month now. I live in southern Westchester County, NY. It seems like the grass usually stops growing around here sometime in November. (Fyi, the Jonathan Green fertilizer is made out of bone meal, feather meal, blood meal, fish meal and molasses.)
Many thanks.
A good, organic, lawn food applied now will be taken up by the grasses roots and stored for use next spring when growth reumes. There are many organic lawn care advocates that will tell you that now is the best time to feed your lawn.
You are doing great IMHO.
Apply some of your organic fertilizer and DO NOT forget to mulch mow copious amounts of autumn leaves into your lawn every fall.
If you want to give the soil a little boost for digesting the leaves spray with a little sugar water.
I use deer molasses. Not necessary but it gives the soil microbes a little food for digesting the leaves. You can use any sugar water though.
Here are my thoughts on the fertilizer you used.
bone meal - useless unless you really need calcium and potassium.
feather meal - useless unless you plan to be around until the next ice age. Feathers do not decompose in your lifetime.
blood meal - not bad for a protein source in a mix like this. Blood is extremely fast release, so use only in small amounts.
fish meal - also not bad but in the small amount that must be in the bag, color it useless.
molasses - nearly useless. It will help awaken the bacteria in the soil.
In my opinion you will get a much better value (MUCH better!!) by buying a 50-pound bag of alfalfa pellets. Apply at 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet as often as you want or can afford. Weekly is not too often. Apply at least 3x per year with two of those apps going down in the fall before the grass stops growing. Even a bag of dog food has more and better protein than the fertilizer you mentioned. The top three items in a bag of organic fertilizer should be strong protein sources. Bone and feathers are not. Soybean, cottonseed, corn gluten, and alfalfa meal/pellets are the top sources of protein (not in that order). Sometimes you see meat byproducts listed on the label. That's good, too.

New Pentagon policy adds poignancy to Memorial Day
Families can now witness the return to the US of the remains of service members killed in action, according to a six-week-old rule. For many, it is an important rite.
Rafiq Maqbool/AP
Dover Air Force Base, Del.
It is 1 a.m. and nearly dark on the flight line but for the spray of pinkish light that shines at the open door of a cargo plane.
The flag-covered box inside looks like every other one that has come through here. But the family standing in the plane's shadows soon recognizes it as their box. It carries the remains of 1st Lt. Roslyn 'Roz' Schulte, the spirited young Air Force officer who showed such promise, killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan Wednesday. As the box is taken to a waiting truck, the family quietly mourns, grateful at least to be here.
Until recently, the Schultes would have found it difficult to come. Nor could they have invited the media to share their daughter¹s sacrifice with a grateful nation. Six weeks ago, Defense Secretary Robert Gates overturned a Gulf War-era policy that discouraged families and barred the media from witnessing the return of America¹s war dead. The elder President Bush instituted the ban in the belief that pictures of casualties would turn public opinion against the war effort. [EDITOR'S NOTE: The original story mischaracterized the Pentagon's previous policy on whether families could visit Dover to witness transfers.]
