Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
The site that sells books well has a very specific niche topic. The one that didn't sell books had a broader topic. I took the links off the broader topic site and will just use the site now for passing PR to my other sites. I'm now only making niche topic pages for books and that seems to be working out better for me.
See the new look Altavista.com? That's what people want, Google-like simplicity. Amazon gives me a headache just by looking at it. My eyes don't know what to look at :)
We often get only one sale for 200-300 targetted visitors we send to them :(
I have had 200 visitors click through my book links to amazon in two days, but no orders. Is this normal?
I had a similar experience. I sent them about 400 unique visitors over a period of 6 weeks and got 0 orders, so I packed it in.
A small brick and mortar business is said to be doing great if they are breaking even after 5 years. (That means the first four years were running at a loss.) Giving up after two months means you weren't serious about it.
I waited until I saw the results from 2,000 uniques to Amazon before I would decide whether or not to quit. It took five months to get that far. At the end, I was seeing a sale a day, and 75 daily uniques to amazon.
It's not like I threw a site up with some Amazon links and waited. I worked for it, and I still do. (No more than 10 hours a week while I still have a day job. I average 3 hours a week currently :) )
Read Brett's 26 steps to 15K a day [searchengineworld.com] for starters, though that can get overwhelming when you have an off-line life.
I follow a more toned down approach that works well when combined with real life:
-First site:
--25 pages of content
--ideas for at least 10 more pages (ideas will come over time if you keep at it).
--Submit to DMOZ.
-After that:
--Build content: one page a week per site
--Build links: find one relavent per site per month
--Build sites: find a new niche every 4-6 months. Works well if it's interesting to you.
I have made around 30 cents an hour over the past 7 months, but if I look at it week to week, I'm at $2/hour for this last week. Compare that to 25 cents an hour 2 months ago.
I look at it as a video game, but instead of "nintendo thumb" and bragging rights, I get a quarterly check. It's nowhere near instant gratification, but it's faster than a brick and mortar business, and a lot less work.
Are people coming in looking to buy things already? Or are they coming in looking for information and you're hurling products at them?
Is it obvious by your linking strategy that when they click the link that they're going off to buy something? Or have you 'cleverly' sent them to Amazon thinking they'll find more information on it?
There are as many factors to conversion success - as many as go into Google's ranking algorhythm. My site used to send several hundred visitors a day to Amazon and I'd sell about 4 items a week (or a 350:1 ratio). Finally, I realized what my traffic was looking for and created pages designed to handle the job of either a) Getting products into the face of people who are already qualified buyers or b) Getting the information people are looking for in their face and hope that that information makes them a qualified buyer by the time they get down to the bottom of the page where the link is.
With that done, I sent far fewer people to Amazon - my traffic has increased 500% in two months, but my referals to Amazon have only increased about 100% (i.e. merely doubled). The bottom line, though, is that my conversion ratio is 16.6:1 (or 1 item for every 16.6 visitors I send to Amazon.)
Actually, I made a few more little tweaks at the end of October and if I just take my results from November 1 through the 10th, my ratio is 9:1 (9 visitors = 1 item sold).
I'm hoping to get it down to a 5:1 by the end of the year. Is that a realistic ambition? I'd like to think so. But believe me - it's not just a simple matter of puttin up afiliate links. If you give your visitors what they want, they'll give you what you want. If you don't, they'll close your window and go back to the SERPS to find a site that will.

[edit reason] no references to specific sites, please [/edit]
Would you mind sharing some of your secrets? It is amazing to have 2000 uniques in a site which started only 13 days ago. (Assuming 13 days do not get you in any search engine or directory listing. Well, may be Yahoo! directory will list in less than 13 days). Adwords? Overture? My site is about 4 months old. I am getting may be 200 visitors per day. Am I loosing a big time?

|Effect of Melothria maderaspatana leaf-tea consumption on blood pressure, lipid profile, anthropometry, fibrinogen, bilirubin, and albumin levels in patients with hypertension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17480136 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of Melothria maderaspatana (Linn.) leaf-tea on blood pressure, plasma lipid profile, fibrinogen, albumin together with serum bilirubin and anthropometric measurements in volunteer participants with hypertension, because all these variables have been shown to influence vascular events. SUBJECTS AND DESIGN: A total of 50 subjects-25 (mean age of 58 +/- 9.0 years; 12 were women) with mild-to-moderate hypertension (systolic blood pressure [SBP] >or= 140 mm Hg; diastolic blood pressure [DBP] >or= 90 mm Hg) and 25 normotensives (mean age of 48 +/- 8.0 years; 11 women)-were selected for this study. Plasma lipid profile, fibrinogen, albumin, serum bilirubin, and anthropometric measurements were measured at baseline and after leaf-tea consumption by the patient with hypertension for 45 days. RESULTS: SBP and DBP gradually decreased and pulse rate decreased. The total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, and phospholipids levels decreased significantly and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and serum bilirubin levels increased after tea consumption in patients with hypertension. We also observed significant body weight loss and reduction in fibrinogen levels. There was no significant difference in plasma level of albumin. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, M. maderaspatana leaf-tea consumption gradually decreased BP and showed beneficial effects on blood lipid profile, fibrinogen, bilirubin, and body mass index in patients with hypertension.

NEW YORK -- The Rays, who Thursday night began an 11-game stretch that could define their season, will go through it a man short in their excellent starting rotation, after Wade Davis went on the disabled list with a strained right forearm.
Manager Joe Maddon said that the news on Davis wasn't all bad -- an MRI on his right elbow came back clean, and the team believes he should only miss one or two starts. Maddon said that the injury has kept Davis from being able to throw his slider in his last two starts.
"It'd be nice to get his slider back," Maddon said.
Davis allowed four runs in five innings in the Rays' 12-5 loss to the Twins on Wednesday, so he wasn't going to pitch again before the break, anyway. But now he'll also likely miss the first two series after the break, when the Rays have a seven-game homestand against the Red Sox and Yankees.
The Rays have stayed reasonably close in the American League East (they began Thursday's game against the Yankees four games behind New York and 3 1/2 behind the Red Sox), but their second-half schedule is heavy on games against the two teams in front of them. That's either good (because head-to-head matchups give them an opportunity to make up ground) or bad (because the Yankees and Red Sox are the two toughest opponents in the league).
By the time they finish this round of 11 games against the Yankees and Red Sox, the Rays figure to have a much better idea of whether they have a realistic chance of catching one of the two teams in front. If so, they'll no doubt go for it and even look to add help at the July 31 deadline.
If not, the Rays could well sell, with enigmatic center fielder B.J. Upton atop the list of those who would be made available. Outfield is a position of strength in the Tampa Bay organization, and Upton is getting to the point where he will be expensive for what he is delivering.
The Rays called up reliever Brandon Gomes to take Davis' roster spot. They'll make another move to add a starting pitcher when they need one after the All-Star break.

Check out this interview that Mike Trudell, the official Lakers reporter, sat down with Jerry West about basketball and Kobe Bryant.
In the interview, West had this to say about Kobe…
People say, well, that was an unbelievable shot – other people can't do those things, OK? But for him, it's not an unbelievable shot, it's something that's become commonplace for him, and you expect it from him. He's just been one of the most remarkable players – I think in overall talent – and again I don't know how you judge players other than talent – I think he's probably been the greatest all-around player that the Lakers have ever had. And when I talk about all-around, I'm talking about defense, and his ability to score the ball, his competitiveness and the fact that his teams win. You watch Magic Johnson play, a completely different player. He was incredible and I love Magic, but I think for pure talent and pure ability to go out and dominate a game the way he can dominate on the offensive end, and then to watch him defend – he's become a very good defender. He's become a great teammate. This is a long process from the time he was 17-years-old … there is something that some people were born with, and he was born with 'it.' How do you describe 'it'?

Wisconsin's Clement cited for disorderly conduct
Submitted: 11/25/2015
Enlarge Image
- Wisconsin running back Corey Clement has been cited for disorderly conduct in connection with his role in a fight on Nov. 8 in his apartment building.
Wisconsin spokesman Brian Lucas said Wednesday that police informed the athletic department a day earlier that Clement had been cited. Lucas says it's unclear whether coach Paul Chryst will discipline Clement. Wisconsin faces Minnesota in Minneapolis in the Badgers' regular season finale Saturday.
A police report indicates the fight began as a verbal argument between Clement and a group of men in his building's elevator. The report says Clement repeatedly insulted one man's girlfriend, and a fight later broke out.
The police version of the incident conflicts with a statement the university issued Nov. 12. Lucas says further details have since "come to light."

That means the Raiders get to stay in Medford for level three.
"It's always nice to play at home and not have to travel," says Head Coach Ted Wilson. "New Richmond's about a two hour ride, so while we're used to traveling like that, it's always better to be at home, and have your home crowd. It's nice. New Richmond's a very good team. It's not like playing Rice Lake makes it any�less hard."
The team never expected to tie for the Great Northern Conference title.
Players say it's rewarding to be playing so late in the season.
"It's amazing," says Senior Lineman Garett Storch. "We never expected it at all. We were predicted to be second last in the conference, so to be this far, it's something else."
If they win Friday, they'll be one of four teams left in the Division 3 playoff.

Rodgers says team is still headed in right direction
Submitted: 11/09/2015
- The Packers stormed back in the fourth quarter against the Carolina Panthers Sunday.
The team was down 37-14 but then cut the lead to eight points.
The Packers had a chance to get within two points.
Aaron Rodgers had Randall Cobb wide open on the right side of the end zone but he ended up throwing an interception.
Rodgers saw that later on a tablet and then threw the tablet down.
He was clearly frustrated.
After the game, the quarterback took the blame for not making the play.
"It's frustration in the game, there's frustration in this game." Rodgers said. "It's exhilarating and also frustrating when you make a mistake like that. I mean I had an easy opportunity for a pitch and catch touchdown. I got scared by something. I can't explain it. "It's a mistake by myself."

The right to bear arms in a township building was debated between two Conewago Township supervisors at a meeting Monday.
Conewago Township board chairman Robert Legore said the gun issue was the most heavily contested issue at the recent Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors conference.
The right to carry a properly licensed firearm into a township building was hotly debated at length at the state conference, said Legore, as many of those in attendance wanted the group to support a resolution which would ban all guns, except for those carried by the police, from township properties.
"We as townships are the only form of government that allows a firearm into a building or meeting if the person has a carry permit," said Legore. "You can't take them in to any county, state, and certainly not federal building in Washington, but townships allow it."
The resolution being discussed, said Legore, would have allowed each township to make the decision for themselves if firearms would be prohibited from their municipal property or if a particular township would continue the "right to carry" to be allowed.
Conewago supervisor Ted Bortner said that even though he has his own "right to carry" gun permit he supported the proposed prohibition of private guns on public property.
"I have a permit but I don't ever carry (a gun) into the township building or a meeting," said Bortner. "I don't think anyone except the police should have a gun on municipal property, so I was really disappointed with the outcome of the discussions."
Legore said that he was happy with the result because, while officials of some of the larger townships supported the plan to ban all privately owned guns from township properties many officials of the smaller ones wanted to keep the status quo.
"Some of the people from the smaller townships said that they carry a gun to work because that is the only way they feel safe when they are there all day alone," said Legore. "While we have a lot of people at our (Conewago) office and we don't feel we need that kind of protection, I understand what they are saying."
Conewago Township also has the added protection of always having Chief of Police David Williams or another officer attend every supervisors meeting, said Legore.
Williams assured the supervisors that he or one of his officers will continue to monitor every meeting.
"I carry fifteen rounds with me at all times and that should be enough to stop any threat at a meeting," said Williams.
Even if the state supervisor group had supported the resolution to allow townships to ban guns it would have been up to the state to enact the law, said Legore, but it would have been the responsibility of the township to enforce it.
What would we have to do? Have the police chief search everyone entering the meeting, Legore asked, then added, "We are open targets at a meeting but a piece of paper on the door saying 'no guns' is not going to stop some lunatic from doing something stupid."

The robot is a 6 servo biped walker featuring three degrees of freedom (DOF) per leg. It can walk forward or backwards and turn in place left or right with variable speed. It can even do lots of Robo-One style acrobatic moves. Our combo kits include everything needed to make an operational robot, however the chassis and servos are available separately for those who want to use their own electronics.
As with any walking robot, weight is a major concern. The best approach is to keep the weight to an absolute minimum. We recommend using the 6.0Volt Ni-MH 1600mAh Battery Pack(Not Include Battery Pack).

The Morning Kickoff …
Its time has come: The next great innovation in the NFL?
How about a developmental football league?
A league for undrafted rookies to fall back on after final NFL roster cuts and to keep in football shape, physically and mentally. A league to develop out-of-work coaches and young referees. A league to experiment with rules changes and technological advancements.
This is one of those ideas that is so obvious that you wonder why it hasn't been done. Money, is the answer. NFL owners, awash in billions of dollars of revenue, don't want to finance a developmental league because it generates cost, not revenue.
That's what did in the NFL Europe League. Operating for nine years under different names, the European league was disbanded in 2007 because owners tired of paying the bills. The benefits of the league were lauded by football operations executives. But they couldn't convince the owners to keep investing in it.
An NFL developmental league needed a new business model.
Brian Woods, a sports attorney, believes he has created it.
Coming this fall: Woods, 40, is the founder and creator of the FXFL – the Fall Experimental Football League. So far, there is no affiliation with or cooperation from the NFL. But Woods predicts that will change when the NFL sees the FXFL operate this fall.
"There's no mystery there needs to be a developmental league," Woods said. "I think the challenging part is coming up with a business model and design it properly. I've spent a lot of time researching this. I've looked closely at the NBA Developmental League and at Minor League Baseball. We've come a long way in a very short period of time. We're financially backed and ready to launch this fall."
Based in New York, Woods said the FXFL will debut in September with teams in six markets – New York, Orlando, Omaha, Portland, Boston and Memphis or San Antonio.
The league itself will own and operate two of the teams, but Woods said the others have financial backing from some "high-profile investors." Franchise fees were set at $500,000. Team names and owners will be announced within two weeks, Woods said.
"A lot of people are questioning our ability to launch in a short timeframe. Some of our partners are going to be minor league baseball teams. They have an infra-structure in place, good marketing teams, built-in customer base. We're able to mobilize much quicker than most people think," Woods said.
"The league is not predicated on TV revenue. But I will tell you I am in very good discussions with some major networks about televising the season. If the NFL were involved, it would be slam dunk. We're going to have a TV partner wrapped up within two weeks."
Woods said the FXFL will have six teams playing a six-game schedule from September to November. Games will be Wednesday nights.
Woods believes NFL Europe, while well-intentioned, failed for obvious reasons.
"That was not very cost-effective," he said. "They played in big venues, and shipped the players out (overseas). I think the best structure is a developmental league that plays in the fall, not in the spring. This again is the benefit – play on weeknights, use a cost-containment model, play in minor league baseball venues."
The future: In April, sports lawyer and agent Donald Yee speculated in an essay in the Washington Post about college football in the Year 2020 morphing into a lucrative professional developmental league in which college-age players share in the billions of dollars of revenue generated by their games.
Woods' league would be a scaled-down version of those post-collegiate players, mostly undrafted but also drafted ones, who work the six weeks of NFL training camp and then are released. Hundreds of these players routinely retreat to their homes – some take on jobs – and wait for their phones to ring when NFL teams need reinforcements later in the year. Or they resurface the following year and try it all over again.
Woods said, "Forty percent of the (college) juniors that declared for the NFL draft this year were undrafted. Because of the new rookie contract structure and the college landscape changing, now more than ever there's a need for a developmental league."
Because of injury attrition, most NFL teams come looking for players in the second half of the NFL season. That's why Woods wants the FXFL season to start in September and end in November – to feed the NFL need for players late in its season. The theory is that players discarded after training camp will be more developed playing in the FXFL than they would be merely working out on their own.
Woods said FXFL teams will have rosters of 40 players and coaching staffs will consist of a head coach and six assistants. Players would receive between $1,000 and $1,250 a game, which is more than the Arena Football League rate of about $850.
The league would develop players, coaches and officials and also experiment with innovations the NFL has discussed.
For instance, Woods said the league would not use the traditional point-after touchdown and is considering eliminating the punt altogether, for safety and competitive reasons.
"I personally feel if you take the punt away you'd have sustained drives and promote scoring," Woods said. "And it would make the game safer. The majority of injuries occur on punts and kickoffs. So we are looking to experiment."
Woods said the league would have "a technological component" that would make the game quicker and also engage fans interactively. He wouldn't elaborate.
Because of the business model and the benefits to the NFL, Woods feels the FXFL will succeed. He envisions ticket prices at $30 and hopes for attendance in the 5,000 to 6,000 range.
"Our long-term goal, obviously, is to have an official recognition from the NFL," Woods said. "I think everyone sees a need for this."

text: Hi all!, first post! I'm programming an attitude estimation and control algorithm for a satellite. So I need a reference "trayectory" for my control system to try to follow. The generation of that attitude profile is tricky: point to the sun, if sat has access to a certain city, point to it, the point again to the sun... and so on. So I've managed to make a q(t) to make all that possible, but I need the angular velocities that yield that reference attitude quaternion as a function of time. While I have already figured out a way to get them, they are not perfectly mathematically calculated, showing some nasty discontinuities at certain times. So, the problem is, given the quaternion kinematic equations: \begin{equation} \dot q =\frac{1}{2} \left[ \begin{array}{cccc} q_4 & -q_3 & q_2 & q_1 \\ q_3 & q_4 & -q_1 & q_2 \\ -q_2 & q_1 & q_4 & q_3 \\ -q_1 & -q_2 & -q_3 & q_4 \end{array}\right] \left[ \begin{array}{c} \omega_1 \\ \omega_2 \\ \omega_3 \\ 0 \end{array}\right], \end{equation} and the quaternion \begin{equation}q(t),\end{equation} what is \begin{equation}\vec \omega(t)?.\end{equation} I think the problem would be a boundary value problem, but I don't really know. Does anyone can point me in the right direction?? maybe a matlab supereasy command ? Thanks in advance!!

CNN makes buyout of Zite official, keeps it separate
updated 03:00 pm EDT, Tue August 30, 2011
CNN buys Zite in tablet drive
CNN on Tuesday confirmed rumors that it had bought Zite. The deal gives it control of the iPad news curation app (free, App Store). Zite will continue to run as a separate entity under CNN's wing but will get both the added reach and "advance the industry in a meaningful way," CNN's digital manager KC Estenson said.
Terms if the deal weren't given out, though rumors have had the takeover of the young startup worth $20 million.
The acquisition escalates a mounting battle among news and magazine tablet apps, primarily on the iPad. Flipboard is generally seen as the front runner but has also seen competition from Pulse and others. Curated reading is considered one of the hottest categories for apps on the iPad outside of games.

It's only Tuesday—but aren't you ready for the weekend already? Kate Spade, purveyor of all things cute, colorful and cheery, sympathizes—and this spring, it's launching a brand-new line "meant to capture the spirit of Saturday every day of the week," according to the company's president Craig Leavitt. The new venture's name? Kate Spade Saturday, of course.
According to WWD, the line will include apparel, swimwear, handbags, jewelry, eyewear, shoes and home décor and be priced at about 50 percent less than most Kate Spade New York goodies, in keeping with the younger clientele it's targeting (think ages 25 to 35, as opposed to the 30-to-40-year-olds KSNY attracts). Expect to shell out about $90 for most clothing in the collection; $55 for eyewear; $85 for shoes; $30 for jewelry; $25 for home goods and $50 for watches.
But don't call Saturday a diffusion line—it won't actually be sold in Kate Spade New York stores, nor in the Kate Spade section of your favorite department store. Rather, the vertical venture will be available in the U.S. at Saturday.com and in Japan at Saturday.jp, as well as at a freestanding flagship in Tokyo. Fingers crossed for a NYC brick-and-mortar shortly thereafter…
Until Saturday finally rolls around, click through for a first look at what's to come from this exciting new brand. For our part, we're planning to snatch up those half-moon handbags and two-tone pumps.

"That's not all!" She giggled lowering her voice. "He put his tongue inside me, licked my pussy over and over till I came. God, I thought I'd go crazy."
I gasped, I had read a little about men kissing women's pussies in her fuck books but thought it was just fiction. "He actually licked your pussy, and put his tongue inside you? Jeeese!" I was flabbergasted. It was making my clit hard and my pussy so wet thinking about his tongue inside her cute pussy. The girls laughed about it, but I didn't know any one who said they had been "eaten."
"And it was fantastic. He licked my pussy for the longest time and sucked and licked my clit. He put a finger inside me pumping it in and out and I came like there was no tomorrow. It was out of this world, I almost fainted it felt so damn wonderful.
"He made me promise not to tell any of the other girls he ate me. Some guys think it's nasty and they make fun of 'cuntlappers.' I won't tell anyone, I don't want to get a bad reputation. The next thing they would say was we were fucking, which we definitely haven't and I'd get a reputation as a slut. Don't you dare breathe a word about it! OK? You do and you are D-E-A-D! You got that Missy?" She said very seriously.
I promised and was thinking about him sucking her breasts and licking her pussy. My mouth watered.
"Is it like French kissing? Betsy and I do that lots. It's fun. We like to do each other. It feels so good doesn't it?" I giggled.
"You and cute little Betsy Frenching each other. You two are really naughty! Do you do anything else?"
"Like what?" I asked not knowing what she meant.
"Oh come on! You know. Playing with each other's tits, or pussies while you French each other." She said tilting her head, a lopsided grin on her pretty face.
"No. We just kiss each other. It feels really nice." I said, then my mind kicked in. "Do you and Dottie play with each other's pussies." Dottie was a close friend and had stayed overnight in our house many times. They always locked the door and I could hear giggling and laughing but never thought too much about it.
"What do you think, Shrimp?" She laughed, rolling her eyes up dramatically, giving me her answer.
I sat looking at the TV screen, but not really seeing it. My mind was running a mile a minute. She and Dottie? Dottie was a cheerleader and drop-dead-gorgeous. This was some heavy shit she was laying on me. My Sister and her best friend making love! Damn!
"Sis, I really like taking showers with you." I said in a small voice. My throat had tightened up at the thought of telling her this.
"I like it too." She said absentmindedly, not seeming to pay too much attention to my statement her eyes on the TV screen. The sexy action on it had slowed down a little.
"You know what I like best about it?" I asked my mouth feeling like it had cotton in it. I could feel my whole body tingle. She didn't say anything but turned her head to me and looked at me, giving me her full attention. "I like to feel you against me, you feel so nice when we are wet. I really like to feel your tits against my face. I - I - well, I wanted to suck on your nipples. I loved seeing your pussy too. It's so pretty and so sexy too."
"Really? It feels so sexy having you against me too, when we are wet. I got hot the other day when you were washing your cute little pussy. God, I got so hot I had to cum watching you fucking your ass with your finger and rubbing your clit. You gave that cute little asshole of yours a real work out. Watching your soapy finger sliding in and out was so damn sexy. I know how good it feels when I do it to myself or Dottie does it to me!
"I was mean. I should have let you bring yourself off while I did myself. I don't know why I did that? We could have watched each other. But you did cum while I was outside. I watched you in the mirror. I almost brought myself off again watching you, but I went into my room and made myself cum on the bed, thinking about you slipping your finger up your cute little ass. I watched you cum and ran out and did it to myself. I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry! I tend to be a fuck-up sometimes. Forgive me little Sister?"
My tension gone, I grinned and stuck my tongue out at her, we laughed. We sat in silence, neither of us talking, and not really watching the TV either.
"Would you like to kiss my tits? I'll let you if you want to." She asked softly.
I couldn't talk, I just nodded dumbly. She sat up and pulled the top off and sat there in just the thin bottoms. Her breasts were beautiful; the nipples were erect and sticking way out. I loved the puffy swollen areolas. My lips almost puckered looking at them.
She moved to the edge of the bed and hung her legs off of it. She motioned for me to get on the floor between them. I slid off the bed onto the thick carpet and kneeled between her spread thighs. I could make out the shadow of her brown pussy hair through the thin material of her sexy panty bottoms. It was pulled up tightly in her pussy, right along her prominent crevice. I stared at it.
I wished she'd take them off. I moved closer and kneeled up in front of her, between her spread thighs. She reached out and pulled me to her. Her breasts pressed against mine, her nipples seemed to be drilling two holes in my skin. Her body was hot as could be. She bent her head and kissed me softly on the lips. I almost melted. Her kiss was so soft and her lips warm against mine. Her tongue slid out and played along my lips. God, I almost died!
Betsy and I had kissed lots of time. I finally managed to meet Sis's tongue with mine, and our tongues played against each other. My hand was on her arm and I felt her take it and move it. She put it on her breast and rubbed it over the firm globe. I almost fainted it felt so wonderful. I let my hand roam over her hot breast, her hard nipple pressing against the palm of my hand. She pressed her chest forward against my hand as our tongues played. It was so erotic.
Kissing Betsy was never like this! I was kissing my big Sister and playing with her breast at the same time. I had died and gone to heaven! My heart was beating a mile a minute. I pulled back and looked at her sexy breasts. The nipple I had been fondling was very erect, it was longer too. I had done that! Me!
"You are really a good kisser Sweet One. You and Betsy must have been doing a lot of practicing!" She chuckled, then leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips. I took both hands and ran them over her soft breasts. The skin was so soft, yet beneath the skin, her breast was firm. I squeezed them and stroked them. It felt wonderful. I felt a hot tingling sensation run through my whole body.
"I hope when my boobs get larger, they are as sexy as these." I grinned up at her. I stroked them over and over, and then played with the nipples, pulling and rolling them between my fingers. I could feel them swell and become even harder. It was making my mouth actually water and my pussy began to tingle while I looked at them.
"Kiss them. I love to have them kissed and the nipples sucked on. Come on Baby, I want you to suck them for me. Please?" She asked a little breathlessly.
I bent and kissed the tip of her neglected breast. I took the long nipple between my lips and sucked on it. It was warm and the tip hard. I ran my tongue around the hard tip and against her swollen areolas. Jeeez, I was actually sucking my Sister's breasts. I couldn't believe it! I sucked on them like I was nursing, while my hands cupped and stroked them. My body went hot all over.
Her eyes were closed and she seemed to really be enjoying it. I pressed in a little and took more of her nipple and breast in my mouth, opening my mouth wide, sucking harder. God it felt so fantastic, and her skin tasted so good too. I could taste the powder she used on them. Her skin tasted so sweet. I cupped her breast with both hands, squeezing it, molding it, trying to get more of it into my mouth. The pear shape of it helped me, but my mouth was too small and her breast too large. I tongued her nipple like I do when I kiss Betsy's tongue, flicking it around and around the swollen areola and using it against her hard nipple. It seemed to get even longer as I sucked.
I pulled back a little and saw she had a hand down against her pussy, rubbing it through the thin cloth. Her finger ran along the furrow, pressing the cloth deeper into her pussy. I sucked her nipple again and put my hand down over hers while she moved it up and down her slit.
"Take your bottom off, please Sis. Let me see your pussy. I want to watch you play with your self. Oh, please?" I begged her.
She stared at me a moment then nodded. I moved back as she lifted her ass and pulled her bottoms off. I noticed the crotch material was dark, wet with her juices. Her eyes were very wide open, almost as if she were in a trance. She kicked the flimsy bottom aside and sat back down. She spread her thighs and I moved back between them and kissed her breasts, going from one to the other. I moved my head sideways so I could see her pussy out of one eye. Her fingers played up and down her spread slit. The odor of her excitement surrounded me. It was the sexiest thing I had ever smelled, another girl's excited pussy; spread wide, open inches from my face. I could feel the heat from her thighs and pussy. I actually trembled as I inhaled her sexual odor.
One hand went to the back of my head and pressed me against her breast a little harder. I felt her fingernails dig in to my scalp. I didn't mind at all. I sucked harder, tongued faster. Her fingers moved faster against her clit, making little circles around her pink clit. I could see it momentarily when her finger moved out of the way for a split second. I was so close I could hear the little liquid sounds her fingers made against her wet pussy. She began to moan and whimper. I cupped her breast harder and sucked hard on her nipple. It tasted divine. I put my hand on top of hers carefully feeling the motion of her hand. I moved it a little so as not to obstruct my view, so I could see her clit and her fingers playing over it.
She began to gasp and she cried out as she came. She moaned, then screamed out as her body went into shivers of delight as she climaxed. I was glad the folks weren't home! My pussy was on fire and I wanted to rub it so bad, but I wanted to help her cum. I sucked and tongued her nipples going from one to the other, back and forth. She gave one last long undulating scream of joy and fell back on the bed, her breast pulling from my lips.
She lay panting. Her legs were spread and I could see her wet pussy, it was beautiful. I had only seen it wide open like this once before, but I leaned in and looked at it close. The lips were swollen and puffy, her clit a small pink bean at the top. Below, her neat brown ass hole looked inviting too. But her opening was like a red rose. There was a little of her juice in the middle, a small pool. My mouth watered as I looked at it.
"Ohhh, thank you little Sister. That was fantastic. I came like gangbusters. Wild! I loved your lips and tongue on my nipples. You are some lover. Come up here and let me hold you."
I moved up on the bed and she pulled me on top of her, holding me against her hot body. I kissed her lips and she kissed me back softly. I lay on top of her hot heaving body. I had helped my Sister get off. I had kissed my first breast and loved every second of it. I felt like a million dollars.
My Sister and I lay kissing softly. I was lying on top of her hot body. She was still breathing heavily from her climax. I nestled my body down against hers. I shook my head slowly. I had just kissed her breasts while she rubbed her pussy and made herself cum. I had done it! I had dreamed of doing that while we were in the shower, but now I had really, actually done it. I had gotten to suck and kiss her nipples and helped her cum. My hand had been on top of hers and I had felt the motions as she played with her clit. I was so happy, but my pussy was tingling and I wanted more. My hips seemed to have a mind of their own. They pushed downward against my Sister's body. I was nestled between her thighs and my pussy pressed downward against her spread naked pussy. My clit seemed about to burst.
She giggled. "Why little Sister, I think you are horny. You're dry fucking me. Poor Baby, is your pussy hot?"
"It's on fire, my clit seems like it will explode, it burns so. I have never felt it like this before." I said frowning, my voice a little strained with the sexual tension in my body.
"Well, you helped me cum, now it's my turn to help you get off. I'm glad Mom and Dad aren't here. I would have just scared them to death when I screamed out just now. You sucking my tits really got me going. Thanks. Now it's your turn to cum. Want to?" She laughed. Of course I did.
She rolled on her side and dumped me on the wide bed. She took my t-shirt and pulled it up and over my head. Before I knew what was happening she had pulled my panties down and off. She did something unexpected, she took them and put them to her nose and breathed in, smelling my odor on them. The crotch was wet! Her eyes sparkled above them. I lay on the bed beside her, totally naked, like she was. My panties flew across the room. She began to stroke my body. God it felt so wonderful to have her hands move over me. She kissed my face, my neck, my ears; I never knew that could feel so nice.
When she got to my breasts, she sucked on my nipples. I knew they were sensitive, but no one had ever sucked and licked them. My nipples came to life and she gleefully sucked them to two hard points and nibbled on them with her teeth. It made chills run down my spine and my pussy ache like crazy. She took them between her fingers and rolled and pulled them till they really stuck way out, rock hard. She licked my breasts too, sucking on them back and forth. They are more champagne glass sized and she was able to get most of one in her mouth. My areolas were large, but not as "puffy" as hers. Her hands were moving slowly over me. I lay on my back my thighs spread wide. My pussy felt about to explode.
Finally her hand cupped my pussy mound and she squeezed it. She ran her fingers through my brown hair, twirling it around her fingers. I moaned it felt so good. "You like that little Sister? It feels good to have someone else caress you. Dottie and I have done it for several years. We got to French kissing each other and it kept going further and further. You'll love what I'm going to do to you next. Just relax and enjoy it. You have never felt anything like what I'm going to do to your little sweet box. I'm going to eat you till you cum like you have never cum in your life." She almost growled her voice had dropped so low. She was obviously anticipating it too.
I shivered wondering what she was going to do to me. I thought I knew, but it was never clear in the fuck books just what the women did to each other. They "ate" each other, but didn't really go in to much detail. Now my big Sister was going to "eat" me.
She got off the bed. She took two pillows, had me lean forward, and put them behind my back and head, propping me up. "There, that's so you can watch me. It makes it so much more fun that way, you can see me eating your sweet little virgin pussy." She moved down to the foot of the bed and got on her knees. She leaned on the bed and spread my legs wider. She was looking up at my spread pussy. My pussy tingled and I almost couldn't seem to get my breath.
"Ohhh, your pussy is so pretty. So clean and neat! Damn, Sis, why didn't we think of this before? Your little pussy is so virginal. We'll have to trim your pussy hair a little though. That can really be fun. Dottie and I trim and shave each other. We usually wind up making love when we do.
"Mnnn, I've wanted to eat you for so long. But first I want to really look at your sweet pussy, tease you a little, and make you and me both want it so bad we can taste it. Dottie and I do that to each other, and when we cum it is like the world has turned inside out." She said as she slid upward.
She took her fingers and slowly stroked my inner thighs, softly, slowly. I shivered and goose bumps popped up all over my body. I bent my head so I could see her better. My mind raced, she and Dottie eating each other! My God! Now I was going to learn what they did to each other.
She parted my pussy hair, then my pussy lips gently. Her face was inches away, her breath soft against my bare flesh.
"Oh, your pussy is so beautiful, a soft pink, wet and slippery. I can see your little vaginal opening, like a pale rose. Here's your little pee hole, small and neat. I'd like to see you pee sometime. Would you like to pee for me?" She asked looking up at me, eyes naughty and sparkling.
I could hardly talk, my mouth felt as if it were full of cotton. I almost croaked out, "Oh, God, yes but I want to see you pee too. I want to see you do it too, oh yes."
"It's fun to do it. Pee while someone is watching you, their face real close to your pussy. Watch the pee come out of that little hole. We'll do it together, soon!" She said her eyes riveted to my pussy. I jumped as her finger touched me there, pressing against my pee hole. My urethra, I think she had called it; I'd have to ask her – but later. It felt so strange, so good. She rubbed it around and around.
"God, your pussy is so virginal. The lips are small and so neat." I felt her fingers play over my pussy lips and spread them a little more. Her fingers caught my inner lips and pulled them upward. I looked down and her face was almost touching my spread pussy.
"Oh, there's your pretty little clit. Mnnn, so small and pretty. It will grow. Play with it a lot. I do and it will get larger. " She laughed. "Wash it very good every time you take a shower. I'll suck on it and maybe that will make it grow too. You'll have to teach Betsy to suck on it while you suck on hers."
I shivered at that thought, then I cried out as her lips found my clit and she sucked on it hard. Her cheeks bowed in and out as she sucked and released the pressure again and again. Her tongue played over the end of it. I loved running my slippery finger over it, but her lips and tongue were so much better. She had me right on the edge. I hunched up against her mouth but she backed up and removed her mouth. I almost went crazy I wanted it so bad.
"Patience Little One, remember what I said? I want you to be wild with need when you finally cum! Ohhh, your little pussy center is so pink and pretty, like a little pink rose. Have you looked at yourself with a mirror?" I nodded. "So pink and tender. Mnn, I have to taste your center."
Her head dropped slightly and her tongue came out. She cut her eyes up at me to see if I was watching. How could I not watch? I jumped as her tongue touched me. It felt as if she had shocked me. She flattened her tongue and ran it the length of my pussy, bottom to top, flicking my clit at the top of the upstroke, giving me sensations that were beyond anything I had ever experienced. My mind whirled, my body felt like a thousand wonderful needles were pricking me all at once.
"Oh, you taste delicious, your pussy is almost dripping. I'm going to love this too." She said as I felt her tongue slide from the bottom of my pussy upward. It felt like nothing I had ever felt in my life. Over and over her hot wet tongue moved up and down my slit. Thrill after thrill shot through my body. She moved her tongue back to the bottom and I felt it press inward just a little.
I cried out as she pointed her tongue and slid it slowly inside me. She wiggled it a little and pressed it slowly inward. Her hot breath seemed to set my pussy on fire. My fingernails bit into the sheet. I pushed my hips upward and her tongue slipped a little deeper inside me. She pushed and it tried to go deeper. Her tongue was large and my pussy so small. I felt her lips come down on my pussy and cover it. I cried out and heard her moan as she sucked hard on the opening. She was sucking my juices out! God, my own Sister. I wanted to do the same to her.

Install Notes:
- When using the Oxford Muffs on motorcycles with handguards installed, you may find you need to remove the guards to achieve a proper fit. With some full wrap handguards such as Barkbusters you can remove just the plastics, and not the entire guard.
- In some cases the mirror stem cut out on the Oxford Muffs does not line up with mirror stem on the motorcycle. To remedy this situation, Oxford has provided a PVC washer and instructions on how to pierce the top side of the muff so that the mirror stem may pass through. See instructions included with Muffs for further information.
- Always be sure that your thumb controls and cut-off switch are not to close or blocked by the Muff. If the controls can not be easily operated then reposition the Muff further inwards on your handlebars.
- Always be sure to join the Muffs together using the provided interconnecting strap
- The Oxford Muffs will not fit on bikes with larger hand controls, for example the Honda Goldwing's CB radio controls are far to large for the Muffs opening to fit over.

Award winning producers plan Bergdahl movie
HAILEY, Idaho (KBOI) -- A duo of award winning movie producers are planning to make a film about Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl.
Screen Writer Mark Boal is working on a script for Director Katheryn Bigelow, according to Bigelow's Press Representative.
In 2010, Bigelow and Boal's 'The Hurt Locker' won six Oscars at the Academy Awards. 'Zero Dark Thirty' also won an Oscar in 2013.
The U.S. Army is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl's capture in Afghanistan. Bergdahl was held captive by the Taliban for nearly five years before a controversial deal led to his release. He was freed in exchange for five Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay.
Bergdahl is now receiving treatment at an Army medical center in San Antonio, Texas.

Hands on: ZTE Orbit Windows Phone
updated 03:45 pm EST, Mon February 27, 2012
ZTE's latest entry-level WP7 device
Nokia's latest smartphones may have attracted the most attention among Windows Phone devices this week at Barcelona, but ZTE also expanded its Windows Phone lineup with the new Orbit. The device offers many of the same specs as the company's Tania model, which just arrived on the market. Electronista had a chance to check out the Orbit ahead of a formal launch.
The Orbit centers around a four-inch display, making it slightly smaller than the Tania, while the capacitive touchscreen is clearly a step down from resistive panels. The phone was light but did not feel as solid as we would like.
The rest of the hardware specs appear to be aimed at the entry-level Windows Phone market, including 4GB of integrated storage and a five-megapixel camera. Performance seemed to be comparable to other Windows Phone handsets, and this is to be expected due to Microsoft's tight guidelines.
ZTE has yet to announce pricing details or launch dates for the Orbit.

Perhaps the most discussed passage in Barack Obama's Inaugural Address was his peace offering to dictators and leaders of rogue states.
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent," he said, "know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
The man who had campaigned on direct meetings with rogue leaders "without preconditions" appeared to be toughening his approach just a little. The words were conciliatory and intended to signal a shift from the Bush administration, but he added a condition.
The next day Bill Neely of Britain's ITV News reported the response from the leadership in Iran. "Obama's is the hand of Satan in a new sleeve," explained Hossein Shariatmadari, spokesman for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader. "The Great Satan now has a black face." Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wasn't impressed either. "If it's like the past and America is bullying us then there will be no new era between us," he said.
Obama has spent the intervening eight months attempting to convince Ahmadinejad and Iran's clerical leadership that he is not a bully. Despite these efforts--and in some ways because of them--the Iranian leadership remains firmly in power, more radical and more dangerous than ever. The Obama administration's short history of relations with Iran is a picture of weakness.
On March 19, in a videotaped peace greeting, Obama offered best wishes on the celebration of Nowruz--the Iranian New Year--to "the people and leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran." Obama spoke of a "season of new beginnings" and said
My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us, and to pursuing constructive ties among the United States, Iran and the international community. This process will not be advanced by threats. We seek instead engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect.
In a speech the following day, Khamenei dismissed Obama's overture. "Change in words is not enough, although we have not seen change in words, either." He accused Obama of following the "crooked ways" of George W. Bush.
The Obama administration's response was to step up its efforts. In an early April meeting with European diplomats in London, Undersecretary of State William Burns formally declared that the United States would participate in face-to-face talks with the Iranians, and the P5+1 negotiating group (made up of the permanent members of the Security Council and Germany) conveyed the invitation to Tehran. There was no response. So in early May, Obama wrote a letter directly to Khamenei to express his desire for an amicable resolution of the disagreements over Iran's nuclear program and an end to the decades of hostility between Iran and the United States.
Still no response, though later that month, Iran tested a solid-fuel rocket capable of hitting Israel and the U.S. bases in the Middle East. Although Iranian leaders have long claimed that their nuclear program is peaceful, Ahmadinejad celebrated the successful test at a campaign rally by declaring:
In the nuclear case, we send them a message: Today the Islamic Republic of Iran is running the show. We say to the superpowers, "Who of you dare to threaten the Iranian nation? Raise your hand!" But they all stand there with their hands behind their backs.
And that is precisely what Obama did when the Iranian regime brutally put down protests that had arisen following the rigged presidential elections on June 12. He initially refused to condemn the crackdown to avoid upsetting the Iranian regime. Only after international broadcasts began running the grisly scenes from the streets of Tehran on a loop, and following strong denunciations from several European leaders, did Obama speak out against the escalating violence. Still, the White House never supported the courageous opposition leaders for fear of "meddling" and never challenged the bogus results of the election. (At one point, in response to a question about whether the U.S. government recognizes Ahmadinejad as the legitimate leader of Iran, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said: "He's the elected leader." After the outcry, Gibbs amended his statement.)
The Iranian regime did not appreciate the forbearance. In his first public speech after the disputed election, Khamenei falsely claimed that Obama had been supporting the Iranian opposition and wondered how he could reconcile the hostility towards Iran with the conciliatory letter of May.

I've been doing Karaoke on and off for the last 14 years or so.. generally when i'm in between bands.
I play two clubs regularly every week, and find that I could really do both shows with just a few hundred songs.. if you figure a 4 hour show, average song length 3 minutes, plus the time it takes to cue up the next singer.. you're only reasonably going to get 10 or fewer singers up per hour.. x 4 hour night, that's really less than 50 songs you'll play.
And that's if you have non stop singers.
I always end up singing a few myself, or playing DJ music during shows, especially at the beginning of the show to fill the gap between singers.
So i'll echo what's already been said in this thread: it really isn't the number of songs you have, it's the titles of the songs you have.
I like having a wide general selection just in case, especially when you go into a club for the first time and really don't know what people are going to want to sing. If someone requests something I don't have, I make an effort to get it and add it to the collection.
As to the top 100 most requested Karaoke tracks? Check out this list:
http://www.validmusiccentral.com/Most%2 ... 0Songs.pdf
Of course the actual popular list in your area will vary slightly, but generally speaking, i'd say that list is pretty accurate.

And yet, we know relatively little of just how the brain works. Now, in the latest issue of Science, a super-team of neuroscientists, geneticists and engineers propose the Brain Activity Map, a large-scale collaborative effort that will draw from multiple scientific disciplines to create and apply a new generation of tools to map and control brain activity.
Like the Human Genome Project, the Brain Activity Map program will tap the hive mind of experts to make headway in the understanding of the field. Engineers and nanotechnologists will be needed to help build ever smaller devices for measuring the activity of individual neurons and, later, to control how those neurons function. Computer scientists will be called upon to develop methods for storing and analyzing the vast quantities of imaging and physiological data, and for creating virtual models for studying brain function. Neuroscientists will provide critical biological expertise to guide the research and interpret the results.
The authors encourage input from academia, government and private industry, with the goal being to support broad efforts across biology and the applied sciences without relying on preconceived ideas or redirecting support from existing work. Anyone with a good idea is welcome to pitch in.
"Much of the ocean floor is also unmapped territory, but there are clear ideas and hypotheses for the general form that it takes, and the processes that shape it," said co-author Karl Deisseroth, a professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford. "What is both mysterious and exciting about the brain is that we don't have comparably mature ideas for the fundamental form taken by processes underlying high-level functions such as cognition, reasoning, hope or how animals create a unified perception of reality from detailed multimodal sensory information.
"By bringing together people from fields who wouldn't normally be talking to each other," he said, "I think we'll spark some really exciting ideas."
The payoff from the project will revolutionize medicine, the authors write. For example, Deisseroth prescribes medication to patients suffering from anxiety or depression. But the brain functions by triggering specific pathways in discrete areas of the brain at different times, while pharmaceuticals alter neurochemicals throughout the brain, which can lead to undesirable side effects and decreased efficacy.
"Before we can really fix things, we need to know what is supposed to be happening," Deisseroth said. "This is part of a very long process to understand what the brain is doing, then understand how it fails, and then, finally, come up with ideas for how to fix it more precisely."
To get the project rolling, Deisseroth and his co-authors call for fostering conversations between scientists with new ideas from nanotechnology, physics, engineering, neuroscience and more. A basic premise of the project is that nobody knows where the best ideas or tools will come from, so a very wide net must be cast.
Deisseroth is known for inventing a technique, known as optogenetics, that uses light to control neuronal activity.
Another of his programs, the Cracking the Neural Code (CNC) initiative, has connected and funded researchers from Stanford's different schools in an effort to spur innovation in brain research on campus. "We're at the very early stages, but I think that the CNC will likely help serve as a nucleus for channeling the progress and efforts of the Brain Activity Map," he said.
To catalyze activity, the authors point out that just as the project will open up new avenues of research and therapy, it also has the potential for significant financial gains: The Human Genome Project turned a $3.8 billion investment into $800 billion in economic impact.

A Floyd County drug and alcohol recovery center is expanding.
The "Hope in the Mountains" recovery center for women in Prestonsburg is adding a new building that will give room for thirty more beds.
The facility currently has only room for ten women.
Owners say the addition will allow them to help more women and add jobs.
"The more women that we help, the more families that will be reunified. They will go back out into the work force and become productive members of society," Renee McCoy said.
They hope to be finished with construction by this fall.

Investigators have released the name of the man killed in a fire earlier this week in Carter County.
Kentucky State Police say the victim is 48-year-old Lewis Newton Musser, of Carter City.
Firefighters found Musser dead Tuesday morning, while fighting the fire at a home on Colen Branch Road, off Highway 1773.
Police say a student walking down the road to catch a school bus saw the fire, and alerted a neighbor, who then called 911.
Police say the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
