There is an inverse relationship between pad travel and mechanical advantage. The higher the mechanical advantage the lower the distance traveled by the pads. The problem your running into with not being able to release the brake is probably caused in part by needing to have your pads very close to your rim in order to compensate for the lowered travel range of the pads. The  Tektro aero brake levers have a pin to release some cable and allow you to easily release your brakes. The Dia Compe 204 non-aero levers also have a similar quick release.VeloOrangehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-38764734401268422002012-08-02T01:53:56.271-04:002012-08-02T01:53:56.271-04:00Doesn't a longer yoke give you greater modulat...Doesn't a longer yoke give you greater modulating control of your braking as on a descent?Calverthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-39879829214890330512012-08-01T22:46:10.249-04:002012-08-01T22:46:10.249-04:00Very interesting post!

I've got some of the generic Tektro canti brakes with the wider profile. I have noticed that when lowering the yoke (in order to gain mechanical advantage), I tend to lose the ability to easily remove the straddle wire. I'm guessing this has to do with a shorter straddle wire (since it's moving closer to the canti studs). With that issue in mind:

**is there a way to gain mechanical advantage on wide profile brakes while having easy removal of the straddle wire?

**is there a sequence used to properly adjust, or set up, your canti brakes? I generally tend to set the orientation of the pads, followed by the height of the yoke, and then I finish off by fine tuning with the straddle wire. Perhaps there is a better way to do it.Tony Lockhart...http://firstname.lastname@example.com

What's a poor gorilla to do when he can't ship his bananas? uShip to the rescue!
On a Friday afternoon several months ago, teams of competing uShippers produced video skits and parodies with one goal — to crack people up (and explain why uShip is awesome). Ideas included golden parodies of "When Harry Met Sally," "American Beauty," "Silence of the Lambs," a few music videos, and others that are just plain wrong and will never be suitable for public viewing.
This, however, is one of the clear winners.

Wallace Signs as Knicks Get Even Older
The Knicks officially announced their signing of Rasheed Wallace during training camp Wednesday, bringing the 38-year-old out of a two-year retirement to fortify the club's aging, yet bruising front line.
Wallace, who last played in 2010 with the Celtics, said he's spent the last two years working out with players at the University of North Carolina, where he went to school, to keep his game somewhat intact. "I did it to stay on top of the game," he said.
Long one of the league's most interesting (and occasionally aggravating) personalities, Wallace said he retired when he did because of "personal reasons" that were now behind him.
The signing wasn't unexpected. Carmelo Anthony, the team's star forward, told the Journal in an interview last week that Wallace had been at the team's practice facility taking a physical along with other members of the club.
Still, the prospect of the addition generated buzz, if for no other reason than the fact that it made the Knicks even older than they already were. Prior to Wallace coming on board, the Knicks had already added four other players this offseason who are over the age of 35.
Pablo Prigioni, 35, will become the oldest rookie in league history and Kurt Thomas, who turns 40 this week, is the oldest player in the NBA. Both joined the team in July, along with 39-year-old Jason Kidd and 38-year-old Marcus Camby (Remarkably, this means that Wallace will only be the fourth-oldest player on the club.)
Coach Mike Woodson, who worked with Wallace when he was an assistant with the 2004 NBA champion Pistons, said he initiated contact with the 6-foot-11 forward toward the end of the last basketball season.
Woodson is a proponent of older, more veteran teams, citing their recent success in the NBA playoffs. But New York's rapid jump in age this offseason in some ways will serve as a new experiment altogether.
The Journal reported earlier in the week that the Wallace deal would make the team's top 13 players an average of 32 days and 240 days old – an age that would make the Knicks the oldest team in NBA history, according to Stats LLC.
That's nearly five years older than last year's team, and also represents the biggest jump the league has ever seen.
Wallace, famous for being a four-time All-Star and a recipient of an inordinate amount of technical fouls, averaged nearly 15 points and seven rebounds per game over his 16-year career. But Woodson sought to play down expectations concerning his signing.
Woodson suggested the contract was not guaranteed, in part because he wasn't exactly sure what the sweet-shooting big man had left. Wallace wasn't much of a factor in his last stint, with the Celtics.
"Only time will tell. We're using camp to evaluate guys, and he's one of those players," Woodson said, adding that he'd probably have limited minutes off the bench if he made the team's opening-day roster.

Creative Confusion
On Feb. 8, the Saskatchewan government announced a new agency to help market the so-called "creative industries" — film, music, theatre, visual arts, crafts, publishing and digital media.
Creative Saskatchewan will apparently launch in the fall of 2013. The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport said they could offer little in the way of details around how the new agency will work (what kind of funds will be available, how it will be allocated, and who will adjudicate).
Until then, the Saskatchewan Arts Board will be responsible for a Transition Fund, with $1 million to allocate across the "creative industries" in the province, and a grant cap of $60,000 per project. The $1 million will be coming out of a Flexible Loans Program that was introduced to the Arts Board in 2008.
Kevin Doherty, Minister of Parks, Culture & Sport, acknowledged that the new agency won't function the same way as the Saskatchewan Film and Employment Tax Credit (SFETC) — which his government killed without warning last year — but said that the funds under the new agency aren't meant to service the film sector alone.
"The big-budget Hollywood productions [are] probably not going to come to Saskatchewan to film with [this] kind of financing available," he said. "But what we're trying to do, in response to what the Saskatchewan Motion Picture Industry Association [SMPIA] has said to us, is that we need to focus on our indigenous producers in this province, most of whom are quite small-scale."
In response, SMPIA president Holly Baird said that the organization was clear that the industry would not be supportive of a transition fund such as the one offered.
"When we saw a draft of their plan, we made it very clear that it didn't reflect our discussions or meet the industry's needs," she said.
An irony not lost on many is that the Saskatchewan government cancelled a refundable tax credit program — calling it a grant — only to replace it one year later with a fund that actually is a grant.
"It's hard to comment on an organization when we have no idea exactly what this is going to look like," said NDP culture critic and Saskatoon MLA Danielle Chartier. "But the fact is the government cut a program that worked for the film industry a year ago and has led many people to believe through these [creative industry] consultations that something would be coming. [The transition fund] will not support real jobs in the industry."
It looks like SaskFilm's days are numbered too. Part of their mandate to allocate government funds towards film production will be at least temporarily taken over by the Saskatchewan Arts Board. As for SaskFilm's other functions — location services, and courting international productions to shoot in Saskatchewan — they won't be able to those without a working tax credit in the province.
As for the Saskatchewan Arts Board, whose function has changed somewhat in recent years — with the introduction of the Flexible Loan and Creative Industry Growth and Sustainability programs — they've at least temporarily been brought into the fray of an area typically serviced by industry organizations such as SaskFilm and SaskMusic.
The question of who will adjudicate funds under Creative Saskatchewan and what, if any, Arts Board involvement would entail remains unanswered.
"I think someone used the term 'the devil is in the details,'" said David Kyle, executive director of the Saskatchewan Arts Board.
"It'll be up to two things: the legislation that enables this entity, and the board of directors that's created. Those will really help define the mix of programs and how they'll operate. We certainly hope that they'll follow an Arts Board model of independent adjudication, and we're certainly willing and happy to provide those services should they be needed or called upon."
There's no nice way to put it. The Saskatchewan film industry is dead.
In the past few years, the Government of Saskatchewan made two fateful decisions. First, in 2010, it announced plans to shut down the province's educational broadcaster, the Saskatchewan Communications Network.
SCN made it possible for producers of indigenous documentary, drama, and children's programming to sell their productions to national broadcasters, bringing Saskatchewan's stories to the rest of the country, and money back into the province in the form of broadcast licences and funding from the Canadian Media Fund. After strong public outcry, the government decided to sell the broadcaster instead — at a fire sale price. One year later SCN was flipped and resold to Rogers/CityTV for significantly more than the original price tag. This was the beginning of the end.
The coup de grâce was the cancellation of the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit (SFETC).
SCN's demise marked the end of indigenous feature film and television production in the province. The cutting of the SFETC last spring was the end of the service industry — the piece of the Saskatchewan production puzzle that brought us Corner Gas, The Tommy Douglas Story, Terry Gilliam's Tideland, and the Ryan Reynolds vehicle Just Friends, among many other productions. It's the sector that employed hundreds of people, and dispersed money to other businesses in the province — like hotels, caterers, lumberyards, banks, rental car companies and retail outlets.
In the intervening year, there's been something of an exodus of those who work in the industry — a good number of whom left for the greener pastures of Manitoba and Ontario, where tax credits have actually increased in recent years. Of those in the film industry who remained in the province, many held out hope the government might offer something to help repair the damage, and get the industry back on track.
This hope may have been bolstered by consultation sessions held with members of the "creative industries" this past fall. But the announcement of Creative Saskatchewan — and that "whopping" one million dollar Transition Fund — won't do anything to save the film industry.
"From a production financing point of view, it's not very helpful for producers who are doing regular-budget shows," said SMPIA spokesperson Shawn McGrath. "If they're doing small personal works, there might be some access to that fund. But if we were doing a low-budget feature film, [this] transition fund is certainly not any kind of replacement for the lack of SFETC."
"I've now lost the way that I made my living," said filmmaker Daniel Redenbach. He graduated from the University of Regina's Department of Media Production and Studies two years ago, but has been working in the industry for several years. "So maybe I can squeeze out one more project with this transition fund, but in terms of the long-term — seeing myself staying here — it doesn't change it at all."
Redenbach is among the younger generation of filmmakers and producers who had every intention of making a career for himself in this province. His web series, Gunderson, was acquired by BroadbandTV in Vancouver for exclusive YouTube distribution, and it's now fully monetized. He also has a feature film script in development that has been short-listed by Telefilm's micro-budget production fund.
"It's a project that takes place in Saskatchewan and it's very much about Saskatchewan, so if there was more progress on that, I would stick around here," he said. "But if that goes away, I would probably go away as well."
Filmmaker Robin Schlaht has produced films and broadcast television shows such as the documentary series A Few Good Men and Women and the feature documentary To Be Romeo and Juliet, with the help of both SCN and SaskFilm. He's unsure what Creative Saskatchewan will mean long-term — mostly because so little information is available beyond the Transition Fund.
"I guess it's the best we have," he said. "It doesn't really mention the programming and the make-up or its objectives. Or how it'll be assessed."
"There is some value to it, [but] it's not like the tax credit. The tax credit — first of all, there were no deadlines. So, when your project came together, you had access to the fund. And it didn't require a market trigger. You could go to another funder and say, 'Look at this: I'm able to provide 40 per cent based on tax credits and a little bit of deferral.' And it was scalable. So it would never get oversubscribed. Who knows how much they're going to be contributing to this fund ultimately, when it's permanent."
Meanwhile, Redenbach is considering a move to Toronto to work in that city's film industry. He says being in a province that supports his industry is essential for his career's future.
"The value (of moving) is that I can work and have a job and I know that there's someone in charge that supports what I do, whereas here, I can't trust them," he said.
"And really, this whole thing shows the true character of who's in charge of this province. Why do I want to put my eggs and my passion in the basket that they're looking after?"

How Elyria, Ohio, Is Putting Money Back in Its Citizens' Pockets
Elyria might be the quintessential middle-class American town. Located just off the coast of Lake Erie in northern Ohio, Elyria boasts a rich history rooted in the successes of an array of small businesses dating back to the early 19th century. Unfortunately, more and more of those businesses have had to close up shop in recent years due to the economic challenges facing many of our historic rust belt towns.
So, when the city was awarded $535,500 as part of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program, city officials decided to take that money back to the people by encouraging homeowners to make energy improvements and weatherize their homes through rebate incentives. See the Energy Blog post.

The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
Versions of Reality Quotes in The Road
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Section.Paragraph)
Quote #1
In dreams his pale bride came to him out of a green and leafy canopy. Her nipples pipeclayed and her rib bones painted white. She wore a dress of gauze and her dark hair was carried up in combs of ivory, combs of shell. Her smile, her downturned eyes. In the morning it was snowing again. Beads of small gray ice strung along the lightwires overhead. (25.1)
We're not sure what to make of this particular dream, but we do want to point out the important role dreams play in the novel. They're often inscrutable, but sometimes they seem more or less like memories of the pre-apocalyptic world. This is one of the more inscrutable ones. The best we can do is to point you toward another quote:
Quote #2
[The Woman:] You can think of me as a faithless slut if you like. I've taken a new lover. He can give me what you cannot.
[The Man:] Death is not a lover.
Is the woman in The Man's dream a deathly bride? Is she tempting him to follow her into suicide? Is this "pale bride" his wife's ghost, or a memory of his wedding? We're not sure. But she seems like bad news and somehow connected to the icy landscape.
Quote #3
He mistrusted all of that. He said the right dreams for a man in peril were dreams of peril and all else was the call of languor and of death. He slept little and he slept poorly. He dreamt of walking in a flowering wood where birds flew before them he and the child and the sky was aching blue but he was learning how to wake himself from just such siren worlds. Lying there in the dark with the uncanny taste of a peach from some phantom orchard fading in his mouth. He thought if he lived long enough the world at last would all be lost. Like the dying world the newly blind inhabit, all of it slowing fading from memory. (26.1)
This passage explains The Man's stance on dreams fairly well. Good dreams mean you're getting soft and pining for a world that doesn't exist anymore. Bad dreams mean you're engaged with the bad world in front of you. Sounds pretty terrible, right? Even the escape hatch of a good dream is bolted shut in this novel.

Find beauty in the journey
Find beauty in the journey with the Avis "I Can't Believe My Eyes" campaign
11/04/14See further than the destination and you won't believe your eyes
Are we nearly there yet? A familiar sound whether young or old - we're all in a hurry to get to our destination. But today Avis is encouraging us to enjoy the journey and capture beautiful moments we might otherwise miss along the way.
To inspire others to open their eyes, Avis is calling out for the best images caught on camera as part of a journey. Upload to Facebook where a panel of judges from Avis and photography experts Getty Images will shortlist the best photos to be voted for by the public. The winning shot will not only win a trip from British Airways Holidays, but it will also form part of the Avis advertising campaign to encourage others to open their eyes and see further than the destination.
Beauty can be found anywhere. Yes, cruising along a coastal road on the Cote d'Azur is full of picture postcard views. As is driving through the snow covered Alps, travelling through the ruggedly beautiful Yorkshire countryside or passing by the majestic Collosseum in Rome. But even on those less than glamorous journeys there is still splendour to be found, especially if you get off the beaten track - something often only possible when traveling by car.
If you look hard enough, you won't believe your eyes at the beauty you can see - be it a magnificent stained glass window on a building covered in graffiti, wild flowers growing on the side of a motorway, or even a stunning sunset when driving through the 'rough end of town'. Anywhere from Bognor to Biarritz or Scunthorpe to Seville, look around and you won't believe your eyes.
Andy Letting, Head of Social Media at Avis Budget Group says, "Car travel is often seen as less glamorous than other modes of transport but with the I Can't Believe My Eyes campaign we hope to show that this is not the case. Traveling by car opens up a whole world of possibilities - we want to celebrate road trips so are calling for people to share their best driving images to prove that how you get there can be as exciting as where you're going."
Paul Foster, Senior Director of Creative Content at Getty Images says, "We're really excited to see what beautiful imagery people will create on their journeys. Travel always inspires great photography and car journeys can often provide unforgettable experiences and cherished memories. Whether crafted and captured with professional equipment or caught by chance on mobile devices, a photo can capture these moments and engage others with the story of where you are."
Photos can be submitted from 22 April via www.facebook.com/AvisRentACarUK, where you can also immerse yourself in a specially made film of beautifully captured landmarks from across the globe for inspiration. So whether you're a budding David Bailey or just a snap happy camera phone user - find beauty in the journey and enter to be in with a chance of winning.

New features in kiteworks include document watermarking, view only and file withdraw capabilities
Accellion, Inc., the pioneer in providing secure enterprise solutions that improve mobile productivity, today announced new user-friendly, integrated digital rights management (DRM) features for its kiteworks solution, including the ability to control the viewing, copying and altering of shared documents. Corporations and government agencies are increasingly concerned about enterprise data leakage and the new kiteworks features provide additional security control over the sharing of sensitive and confidential information in an easy to use mobile-first design.
The new features include the ability to share a file in a View Only mode with document watermarking and full-content search. Recipients of the file cannot download, forward, or copy and paste any part of the file. In addition, kiteworks now also includes the ability to withdraw files, an extremely useful feature when a sender makes a mistake, either by sending a file to the wrong recipient or sending the wrong file.
"With an increasingly mobile workforce, enterprise organizations are in urgent need of new enhanced solutions that protect confidential information as it is being accessed and shared on a whole new class of mobile devices," said Vidhya Ranganathan, SVP of Product, Accellion. "Our new DRM features add to kiteworks' extensive enterprise security features already available, including a three-tier private cloud architecture as well as data segregation, and is consistent with our goal of delivering a solution that provides robust data security that enhances, rather than hampering, business productivity."
The new DRM features in kiteworks that add significant security enhancements are:
"To drive collaboration and productivity in a mobile world, IT needs to provide employees with solutions that are easy to use and provide a consumer-like experience, while providing IT the controls necessary to ensure corporate data is managed and protected. If the tools are difficult to use, employees will find their own solutions, which introduces risk into an organization," said Terri McClure, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "The new Accellion kiteworks features provide DRM-like security, while still maintaining a user-friendly feel, which should help keep consumer solutions out of the enterprise."
Launched earlier this year by Accellion, kiteworks offers a mobile-first design with integrated productivity tools for secure creation, editing, annotation and sharing of content on mobile devices including universal access to enterprise content stores, including SharePoint, Windows File Shares, Documentum and OpenText. With kiteworks, organizations are able to realize mobile productivity gains while benefitting from the security controls and features of an enterprise-grade solution.
These features will be generally available in June. To learn more about kiteworks secure, private cloud file sharing and mobile collaboration capabilities visit our site.
Accellion, Inc. provides secure access to enterprise content wherever it is stored to enable increased enterprise productivity and ensure data security and compliance. Accellion, Inc. is the leading provider of private cloud solutions offering enterprise organizations the scalability, flexibility, control and security to enable a global workforce with the tools they need to securely create, access and share information, wherever work takes them. Accellion solutions are used by more than 15 million users and 2,500 of the world's leading corporations and government agencies including Procter & Gamble; Indiana University Health; Kaiser Permanente; Hogan Lovells; Bridgestone; Harvard University; US Securities and Exchange Commission; and NASA.

Hi Lillian and Marge,

World War II Civil Air Patrol congressional gold medal design themes discussed July 8 by Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee
Options include aircraft, CAP patch imagery
German U-boats were sinking merchant ships and oil tankers within sight of coastal communities along the East Coast. With the Army and Navy lacking the necessary patrol aircraft and vessels, losses of merchant vessels skyrocketed. The military authorized the CAP to establish coastal patrol flights, according to Swain.
CAP patrol flights, composed of two aircraft each, canvassed the costal shipping lanes of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico.
The flights forced enemy submarines to remain submerged and hidden while merchant ships safely transported oil, war materials, and soldiers.
In May 1942, the military armed CAP light personal aircraft with demolition and depth bombs, Swain said.
The CAP served in other missions on behalf of the war effort. CAP pilots towed aerial gunnery targets for live-fire anti-aircraft training and nighttime tracking missions for searchlights; CAP aircraft patrolled the Rio Grande to prevent illegal border crossings; a search and rescue service used CAP units to search for lost military aircraft; and many other activities.
For more information, visit CAP's home page or the "Our Congressional Gold Medal" page.

About the Book
"Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, it's Amelia—in wit and daring—by a landslide."
—New York Times Book Review
Intrepid archaeologist and superior sleuth Amelia Peabody returns in A River in the Sky. In this breathtaking new adventure, New York Times bestselling Grand Master Elizabeth Peters transports the indomitable Amelia and her family, the Emersons, from their usual milieu, early twentieth-century Egypt, to an exciting—and dangerous—new locale: Palestine! A tale full of atmosphere, intrigue, and thrills, A River in the Sky is further proof that "Peters has few rivals" (Houston Chronicle).
August 1910. Amelia Peabody and her husband, Emerson, are relaxing at home in Kent. But adventure beckons when Major George Morley asks them to join an expedition to Palestine, where he is determined to unearth the legendary Ark of the Covenant. Always skeptical, Emerson refuses until requests from the War Office and Buckingham Palace persuade him to reconsider by insisting that Morley is a German agent intent on stirring up trouble.
Amelia and Emerson follow Morley to Jerusalem and hope to reunite with their son, Ramses, working north of the holy city. But before they can meet, Ramses learns of a deadly plot, information he must pass on to his parents—if he can get to them alive.

The Euro's Deceptive Rally
OK, so the euro likes the look of this European deal on banks and Greek debt. And maybe it's even cheered by the "spirit of solidarity" mentioned in some of the official statements.
But make no mistake: this climb in the currency doesn't mean investors suddenly think the region has now been placed on a sustainable growth path.
It is what market insiders call a "relief trade." In other words: things could have gone an awful lot worse. Phew.
As one analyst, put it:
"Credit where credit is due, this is a substantial outcome given where these muppets were only a few days ago."
The give-away sign of this is that other currencies seen as risky bets have rallied alongside the euro. Chief among them, the Australian dollar–the FX market's premium measure of market stress–has climbed much faster than the euro.
Midway through European trading, the Aussie is up by some 2% against the U.S. dollar, comfortably wiping out the drop inflicted by soggy Australian inflation data Wednesday. The euro, by comparison, is up by 1.2%.
Indeed, the euro has dropped to a new one-month low against the Aussie Thursday.
So, how long can this general rush back into risky bets last? Probably at least until next week–eons by recent standards.
Stephen Jen, who runs investment and advisory firm SLJ Macro Partners, notes that the lack of clarity around whether China will indeed invest in the rescue fund, and how much, and under what terms, makes life difficult for anyone wanting to sell risky bets, just in case Chinese support is bigger than the market expects.
"You just can't add to short risk trades" until we know that, Mr. Jen says. "This won't last. There will be a turning point. But picking out the timing on that is tough. We will have to be patient."

Casey Hunter is a sci-fi action adventure story directly targeted at the young adult audience. It is pure adventure designed to be easily read and enjoyed. The action starts at line one page one and does not stop.
Casey Hunter is a young Australian stunt racing pilot in a sport that involves danger and excitement. He's the most popular racer on the circuit, but he's not number one. That distinction belongs to Hans Goebel of Germany. Hans is a third generation Nazi who is funded by Nazi sympathisers. These guys can't let go of the past, and can't get over the fact that they lost the war and the good team won.
So they decide to go back in time and change the result.
The Government get's wind of their plans and decides to put a stop to it. The only problem is that Hans Goebel's team are a little more advanced in their time travel research. They plan on sending back a ten man team of pilots to alter a crucial battle in World War II. The Government can only send one man. One Pilot.
That's where Casey Hunter comes in.
After he accepts the proposal put to him Casey is quickly immersed in an adventure that involves espionage, gun battles, car chases, time travel - but most of all -epic dogfights in the skies above Britain.
Not everything goes Casey's way and he has to call on all his skill, daring and more than a little luck, to try and put a stop to the Neo Nazi Organisation and their poster boy, Hans Goebel.
My main aim with this book was to get young people reading and learning by immersing them in Casey's adventure. Casey himself is a young Aussie, likeable but still figuring out the world. He's someone easily identifiable to the target audience. Geography comes into it, Casey travels the world flying spectacular air races. Modern History is there, he goes back in time and the battles, dates and other historical info is all accurate. Hard science and physics make an appearance - albeit disguised as time travel and aerobatics, but still based on real world cutting edge theories. Morality is also a key point, good versus evil, right versus wrong. I attempted to interweave these themes into the book without compromising the fast pace or adventure that comes with the story. As a work of literature I hoped that it would get young people asking questions, researching these topics, and perhaps even finding an interest in academia that they didn't have before - and I think that is where the literary value of this book really lies.

My first time having standing sex with my wife was this position. It was so freaking hot, I'll never forget that weekend. We have since got older and now have transferred to the standing doggie version of this. It is much easier on the legs and back. This position is hot to men because of the visual of seeing your back, hips, and ass. Women love it because of how deep we get. Sometimes I have to hold back a little because I can make her hurt...something to think of if you are a little bigger down there. Guys need to remember to grab her hips to hold on to keep her balanced so she doesnt fall forward.
The Ben Dover position is essentially Standing Doggy-Style but with the receiver bending over at the waist. In a venue where lying down is undesirable, this is a great position to practice. It is advised that the receiver place their hands on the floor, or grabs their ankles, to balance themselves; this will allow for a more enjoyable experience, faster thrusting, and less likely-hood of falling over. Bending over pushes the pelvis back against the giver allowing easier and deeper penetration, but is otherwise less intimate than the regular Standing version.
For variation the receiver should try spreading their legs apart or bringing them together. However, the farther you spread your legs the deeper the giver is going to have to squat to gain access; say hello to burning quads. To overcome height differences, the giver should try squatting, or the receiver should be given something to stand on.
Its always fun for me its usually rite before I finish but I Ben em over and pound that pussy till she fall over on the bed or couch shaking then I bliw,all over her awesome
my fwb n i did this the other day. he got really into n started pounding me so hard that i almost lost my balance. fun though cuz i was cumming like mad.
I use to love this position...until I queefed really loudly. Not so much a turn-on anymore so my bf and I stick to doggy-style positions...much less chance of it happening again. Sooooooo embarrassing!!
i have one guy that i fuck and he loves fucking in the shower so we use this position and i love it. he cums like crazy when we do it. and its great for me too cause i love it deep
My ex-g/f and I were fucking like this on a dirty weekend at a spa in Slovenija, on the hotel balcony during an enormous Summer thunderstorm. Just as we were both cumming she stood up suddenly...and bashed the back of her head on the balcony railing. She almost knocked herself out cold. I was wondering how I was going to explain to the hotel doc. (in Slovenian) why I had a naked, semi-conscious woman covered in blood, spunk and pussy-juice in my room and moaning in pain... Fortunately there was enough ice in the mini-bar to control bleeding and swelling, though hair-combing was tricky for a while. No permanent harm though and she was able to get back to the "Usual" (http://www.sexinfo101.com/usualfellatio.shtml) gently the next day!
PS: Ex-g/f is now wife so she forgave me though we check carefully for hazards before al fresco sex...
My husband wants to try anal but I can not relax long enough to try it. When he put the head of his penis in I tense up.We have tried num lub,toys,just his fingers but nothing works. Can i get some advice.
Message me or comment
Have you tried using an anal masturbator? I can take him, but I don't care how much reassurance he gives me... I just cannot get over the messiness of anal. So, we compromised and now I get in positions to take him anally, but use a well-lubed masturbator that feels JUST LIKE my tight ass. When one cannot or will not, this is a good alternative. Warmed lube makes it really good. Then, we can switch back and forth between that and my pussy and we don't have to worry about being -ahem- unhygenic, it hurting me, and we both can relax and enjoy everything.
Anal sex isn't so bad you know once you've tried it, I was scared at first to do anal with my husband at first, but once I tried it, I couldn't get enough of it, just use some oil around your anal sopt & rub some on his penis & it wouldn't be that hard to go in, trust me, try it, you'll want it again. Let me know how it turns out ok.
fffaaarrrkkk i loved this! its so tight! had a little accident one time we did it....when i was done and pulled out i had a choctop!
We are an older married couple. I am lucky in that my wife has always been plenty flexible enough for this position (even at almost age 60). It is our default position to use in the shower. I get lathered up and all slippery and enter her. The best is when she reaches up between her legs and massages my anus with a soapy finger. Of course, I return the favor.
My husband absolute loves this one, and he makes me feel so good! He his my spot all the time!! And he goes in so deep!!! I was moaning and screaming his name the whole time!! It felt good to have him grab my his and pull me closer as he thrust himself in harder and harder every time!
me and my boyfriend did this but i was lay on the bed,
im 15 and hes 16, he started going faster on me and i kept screaming, his older brother came in and i gave him a blow job, my legs went weak in the end then my boyfriend and his brother swapped over and his brother kept spanked me and me and his brother carried on for two hours and my boyfriend dumped me buu im with his brother now (:
Im doing this again tonight!
thats nasty if my brother got head from my gf id beat the shit out of both of them u deserve to be single skank
that sounds like a really good time! ive never been with brothers before.
Let me get this str8? You had sex with your bf AND his brother? What kind of sick foolish nonsense is that? UNBELIEVABLE.
Did this position for an hour with my bf. He put himself up my ass and start to go to work on me. He fucked me harder and harder with every thrust. When I thought he couldn't go any harder he did. My ass turned bright red. He also spanked me repeatedly like the whore I am. I couldn't stop moaning and eventually it turned to uncontrollable screaming. This felt so incredible.
reminds me of my first anal experience
choc top?..... so great
This would be perfect if my guy wasn't shorter than me...
I'm 5'2" and my BF is 6' and we have no problem with this position at all. I think it also just depends on how long your legs are. Get your BF to spread his feet apart to lower himself down and it works great. This feels awesome as vaginal sex, which is the only way I've ever done this position.
she's 5'2" & i'm 6'
it helps if she's wearing heels !!
this is a favorite position when she is wearing them.
god i sooo want 2 try dis with ma fwb
I did this position last night, gotta love cheerleaders man
Love how she is just bent over and offering herself up to me like an absolute slut. This position makes me attack her from behind like an animal, spanking that ass with my belt and just power fucking the shit out of her. You need a flexible little gymnist type, or a yoga-booty cougar to go for this position. If you want to incorporate excercise into this, you can make her walk around the room while in this position and it will work every muscle in her arms and legs ;)
yoga helps alot!
i think anal is gross!! the girls ass will be all shitty on the inside and we all know alot of girls poo before sex so they dont have to stop having sex to go to the toilet. aaannd the girls ass gets filled up with sperm and shell be shitting it out for the next 2 days
i dunno what your talking about anal is great!
Tried it but my bf was to tall :(
try using heels
my boyfriend and i do this sometimes except he doesnt put it in my a**. I like it in my pussy, especially to feel his balls bouncing off my clit. It's amazing.
does this hurt your back at all?
OMG my bf did this earlier and it hurts to sit now is that normal?????
Definitely gotta try with my bf
me and my gf have amazing sex because shes so flexable i love 69 with her and me sticking it in her backwards cause i dont have to c her face lmao:) im a bad bf..
why would you not wanna see her facce?
hahaha Thumbs up man :)
wen im reely drunk my bf dus this wiv me, n sumtimes we like to pretend hes raping me cus it just makes it sooo much better ;)
il rape you for real :D ...i dont see how yall dont get brain damage from being upside down so long >:D
This position is great especially if the girl is way horny but not wanting to do alot i.e. she has been drinking. If she can't touch the floor with her hands however don't even try it. use a couch or something to lean on.
But if she can, it is amazing.
becoz i am quiet short we have found that it wors better f i ad he bend ova the bed of the back of the lounge any position that is taking from the back nice and dep drives me absolutely WILD
tried this one and it was great my ex who enjoyed the occasional times where she wanted me to be the dominating one loved this because I was in control the whole time
I've found that heels make this more doable for smaller statures. I love this wearing 4 or 5 inch heels. The heels force my pelvis into a better position for my lover.
I really want to try this with my bf but he's 6'1 & im 5'2 so i dont think we would line up enough to complete it.lol any one have any suggestions to help make this work?????/
step stool and a chair and have him bend at the knees. it is hard on the legs after a while but i am sure he would not mind. I am 6'1" and i definately dont mind. this position is great and needs to be tried out
Girl, my boy is 6'4 and I'm 4'11', and we make this one work! My suggestion is to try it in the shower. Stand up on your tip toes and have him bend his knees just a bit. It's hard, but if you're horny enough, you guys can make it work! GREAT orgasms from this one...

text: XenForo Template Something Wild (Blu-ray) Directed by Jonathan Demme Studio: Criterion Year: 1986 Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 1080p AVC codec Running Time: 113 minutes Rating: R Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 English Subtitles: SDH Region: A MSRP: $ 39.95 Release Date: May 10, 2011 Review Date: May 1, 2011 The Film 4/5 Jonathan Demme's Something Wild is a dangerous comedy. Its humor skitters along the edges of nervous mirth, comedy holding on by the tips of its fingers before segueing into melodrama, and, surprise, surprise, it works! The movie features superb casting, fluid direction, and an effortless story that, while not always covering all of its bases, manages to juggle its competing elements of merriment and madness with great aplomb. Staid stockbroker Charlie Driggs (Jeff Daniels) happens on a wild child/lass named Lulu (Melanie Griffith) while skipping out on a lunch check, the only kind of quiet rebellion he seems capable of at this juncture of his life. Under Lulu's influence, however, he's becoming more assertive bit by bit taking money from his company's Christmas club fund to finance his wild weekend with Lulu, tagging along with her to her mother's house by masquerading as her new husband, and inevitably being dragged to her tenth high school reunion continuing the charade as her husband and realizing that he's enjoying this new breath of fresh air in his tightly wound and structured life. At the reunion, however, they run into Lulu's real husband Ray (Ray Liotta), a recently released ex-con bordering on the psychotic who is not about to let Mr. College Graduate take over his lady. What began as a lark turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse as Charlie decides he's not going to go down in defeat without a fight. E. Max Frye's screenplay makes all three of the star parts into fascinating characters even if Charlie seems a bit irregularly written. For all his smarts, can't he read that Ray is a dangerous man without having to learn it the hard way? Didn't he see those ominous newspaper clippings in Lulu's yearbook detailing a dangerous thief being arrested for multiple robberies? On the other hand, Frye's surprise revelations about Charlie's personal life are handled beautifully, holding back information until it finally must be revealed giving the audience a further adjustment in their estimation of this man who seems awfully weak-willed at the beginning and not really worthy of our support despite his unmistakable charm and good manners. Demme gets out juices flowing almost from the start with that check-skipping business and then Lulu behind the wheel of a car driving as if there's no tomorrow, a picture perfect way of establishing her untamed nature that he then builds on with each subsequent move she makes during the film's first hour. Once the character of Ray is introduced an hour into the film, the tone shifts noticeably, and the fun changes to a kind of anxious anticipation with our wanting to see what happens next. With writing this solid and direction this spot-on (especially as tension builds for the final showdown), the audience is willing to go anywhere and love the journey. Jeff Daniels undergoes such a monumental transformation over the course of the film's nearly two hours that his acting is a marvel of invention and discovery. Seeing Melanie Griffith here before she ruined herself with overdone plastic surgery and collagen injections is a real revelation. She simply is Lulu, a free spirit who loves controlled thrills and is comfortable in any number of guises (she's also as open to doing nudity here as she was in Body Double which helped win her this role.) But the film's real breakout star is Ray Liotta. This was his first movie, and the actor's electric transitions between fun-loving innocuousness and unbalanced mania, acting tricks we're used to now from him, are startling in their suddenness and intensity. He holds the focus every time he appears in a shot, and his instability gives the movie's second half a jolting shot-in-the-arm that makes it the unique experience it is. Robert Ridgely as one of Charlie's office mates who sees another side of his boss in action is certainly effective. Look quickly and you'll see directors John Sayles as a motorcycle cop and John Waters as a car salesman. Video Quality 4.5/5 The film has been framed at an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 with the approval of cinematographer Tak Fujimoto and director Jonathan Demme. It's presented in 1080p using the AVC codec. Spotlessly clean and with outstanding sharpness, the transfer is a real winner. Color is expertly saturated though flesh tones take on a rosy glow in many shots. Blacks aren't at their inkiest, but shadow detail can be impressive on occasion. The film has been divided into 27 chapters. Audio Quality 4/5 The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 sound mix clearly presents the terrific dialogue without any age-related artifacts like hiss or crackle to mar the experience. Stereo separation is fine without being outstanding, but the use of many "in the moment" pop music cues has decent to good spread through the soundstage. Special Features 3/5 All video features are presented in 1080p. Director Jonathan Demme discusses the experience of making the movie in an excellent 33 ¼-minute interview. He talks about his disillusion with filmmaking after the debacle of Swing Shift only to be reawakened to its possibilities with this film's script. He discusses the look he wanted for the movie, his search for the right talent for the leading roles (and some cameo appearances, too), and mentions aspects of his directorial technique. Screenwriter E. Max Frye talks about his inspirations for the script, his top two choices for the director of his screenplay, his thoughts on the film's cast, and the struggle with the ending after the studio seemed wary of the violence inherent in it. This interesting featurette runs 9 ¼ minutes. The movie's theatrical trailer runs 2 ½ minutes. The enclosed 18-page booklet contains the chapter listing, cast and crew lists, some stills from the movie, and film expert David Thompson's overview of Jonathan Demme's career and an analysis of this film specifically. The Criterion Blu-rays include a maneuvering tool called "Timeline" which can be pulled up from the menu or by pushing the red button on the remote. It shows you your progress on the disc and the title of the chapter you're now in. Additionally, two other buttons on the remote can place or remove bookmarks if you decide to stop viewing before reaching the end of the film or want to mark specific places for later reference. In Conclusion 4/5 (not an average) A combination road comedy/thriller, Jonathan Demme's Something Wild crackles with the same kind of jittery excitement it had upon its initial release. Excellent video and audio and some illuminating interviews with the director and screenwriter add additional interest to this recommended Criterion release. Matt Hough Charlotte, NC

FREETOWN — A fire that destroyed 13 cars at a Chace Road auto shop appears to have started inside a Ford Mustang, Police Chief Carlton Abbott said.
Based on video footage, it did not appear to be suspicious, he said.
The fire, which burned 10 cars by the time firefighters arrived, was reported around 7:11 p.m. Wednesday at the Pick & Pull Auto Salvage in East Freetown, according to a Fire Department news release.
It was located in the shop's staging area, which held about 40 cars, fire Lt. Harrie Ashley said. The business was closed at the time, he said.
Eleven firefighters responded, forcing their way through security gates to reach the flames, which took about 90 minutes to extinguish, the release said.
No one was injured, according to the release.
The Fire Department is also investigating the cause of the fire.

Virginia Fall Striper Season 2012
With the fall run of Stripers already underway in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and the season preparing to open, anglers are wondering where to go, and what to use for these fish. The fall run of Stripers isn't as large as the spring run that brings thousands of anglers to the Chesapeake and its tributaries. The fall run coincides early with the Spot run, and if you will be fishing where Spot are prevalent, this would definitely be the bait of choice. Spot are usually around until the middle of October, and until then, they will be the primary food source for the Stripers. Some hotspots year around for Stripers are; The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, the White Stone (State Route 3) bridge in the Rappahannock, and the concrete ships at Kiptopeke State Park on the Eastern Shore. You can catch your bait around the pylons closer to shore, and as you make your way into deeper water, begin to drop the Spot down next to the structure to entice a Striper. The best way to rig the Spot is a 40-65lb. mainline with a three ounce inline egg sinker above a swivel. Then tie an 8-12 inch 30-50lb. leader to a 7-10/0 circle hook. The Spot can either be hooked in the head or the back. Get close to the pylons and drop it down. Once it hits the bottom, crank it up two to ten feet, as this is the level that the Stripers are usually holding. This tactic can be applied up and down the Chesapeake on any sort of deep structure. Another bait that is always a good choice, and can be purchased at any local bait shop, are live Eels. Hook the Eels in the head. They can be rigged and fished in the same places as Spot, and they are the preferred food for the Stripers if you plan to fish at night. The same structure can be fished with artificial bait as well. Six to ten inch gotcha grubs in white and chartreuse on a one to three ounce bucktail (depending on the depth) are always a killer combination. Also chrome and blue lipless crank baits, large stump jumper bucktails, as well as six inch sassy shads can also be used. Bass fishermen have already reported catching decent size Stripers as far inland as Richmond VA, on crankbaits and spinnerbaits, so the run is well underway. With the amount of Stripers in the bay this year, chances are, it won't be too hard to hook up with one of these hard fighting, and good eating fish. Be sure to stop by your local Bass Pro Shops for all of your Striper fishing questions and supplies.

text: cavity nesters are well-known for dropping eggs in nests with other bird eggs. I regularly see both wood ducks and hooded mergansers visiting the same boxes. The wood duck eggs are usually ovid (egg shaped), while the merganser eggs are rounder. They are also slightly different colored, but I am not sure how reliable that is for differentiating them. I try to minimize my handling of the eggs, so I do little more than count the eggs and determine if both are present. If you realize that a hen lays one egg a day, you see that often multiple hens are using the boxes. While some boxes are major dump zones, nearby boxes will be ignored. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul A.

Frank C. LaPuma, 73, a lifelong Frankfort resident, entered into eternal rest on Monday, Oct. 28, 2013, at St. Elizabeth Medical Center, with the love and support of his family at his side.
Born in Ilion on Jan. 14, 1940, Frank was the son of the late Peter and Mary (Maneen) LaPuma. Raised and educated locally, he was a graduate of Frankfort High School, class of 1958. He furthered his studies by attending Albany College of Pharmacy, graduating in 1962 with a degree as a licensed pharmacist. On June 15, 1963, Frank married the former Mary T. Annotto at St. Anthony's Church in Herkimer, sharing 50 years, a marriage blessed with an abiding love and devotion to one another and to their family. A successful retail pharmacist, Frank owned and operated LaPuma's Pharmacy in Frankfort for 34 years. He also worked at one time at Mohawk Valley General Hospital in Ilion and more recently at Rite Aid Pharmacy, retiring in 2008. For over 50 years as a retail pharmacist, he enjoyed interacting with his customers and held an appreciation for the business aspects of his profession. Frank was knowledgeable, kind and patient attributes that allowed everyone who knew him to love and respect him. His special accomplishments in life were raising his family of whom he was so proud, and his day was complete if he could make others laugh by telling a joke. Frank was always there to lend a helping hand. Proud of his Italian heritage, he loved to cook and share his dishes with others. During his leisure time, he loved to fish, garden and was an avid Buffalo Bills fan. A confidant and good friend to many, he will be missed by all.
Frank served as a past member of the Knights of Columbus Council No. 18, Ilion, as a fourth degree knight, a member of the Mohawk Valley Pharmaceutical Association, past president of the Frankfort Library Board, a former member of the St. Francis Society, treasurer of the Boy Scouts, a member of the Frankfort Kiwanis Club, 1982 Kiwanian of the Year, a member of the little "Boys Club" and he enjoyed the monthly "1958 Lunch Bunch." He was also a parishioner of Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church, Frankfort.
Frank is survived by his beloved wife, Mary; his sons, Lt.Col. (ret.) Peter LaPuma, Ph.D., and wife, Cheryl, of Ashburn, Va., Col. Alfonso LaPuma and wife, Shannon, of Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass.; his daughter, Mary Angela Geloso and husband, David, of Ilion; and his cherished grandchildren, Michael, Nathan, Theresa, Annabella and Anthony LaPuma and Dominick, Vincenzo and Angelina Geloso. Frank is also survived by a brother, Tom LaPuma and wife, Kay, of Frankfort; in-laws; nieces; nephews; cousins; and special friends and neighbors, Mayme and Alan Kennell.
Those wishing to express an act of kindness may make a donation in Frank's memory to the Frankfort Ambulance Fund, the St. Francis Regional School in Herkimer, the Frankfort Library or the Frankfort Kiwanis Club; envelopes will be available at the funeral home.
Page 2 of 2 - The family will receive friends and relatives on Friday, Nov. 1, 2013, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Enea Family Funeral Home, 4309 Acme Rd. (town of Frankfort), Ilion (894-8000). Frank's funeral service will commence on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013, at 9:45 a.m. from the chapel of the funeral home and at 10:30 a.m. at Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church, Frankfort Street, Frankfort, where his Funeral Mass will be offered by the Rev. Paul Catena, pastor, and assisted by Deacon James Bower. Procession will then follow to Mount Olivet Cemetery, Frankfort, where he will be laid to rest.
Members of the Frankfort Kiwanis Club are asked to gather at the funeral home on Friday evening at 5:30 p.m.
The family is being cared for by Harry and Kevin Enea. To add to Frank's online condolences, please visit www.eneafamily.com.

Stephen Gee is the author of Iconic Vision: John Parkinson, Architect of Los Angeles. In his book, he describes how Parkinson came from working class England and went on to design some of the buildings that most say "LA" from City Hall to Bullock's Wilshire. Parkinson took a risk coming to LA at a time when it was considered just an outpost. In Los Angeles, he found a city asking what it wanted to be and putting no limits on the answer. I spoke with Stephen at one of Parkinson's creations, Union Station, about what drove the architect and why he thinks there should be a statue of Parkinson right next to Tommy Trojan on the USC campus.

The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) negotiated a $120 million deal to obtain commercial rights in certain regions to Amgen's lead candidate, denosumab, which is currently under FDA review for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). Amgen is also seeking to get denosumab approved to prevent bone loss in patients undergoing hormone therapy for breast or prostate cancer and to prevent bone metastasis in prostate cancer.
The payment includes an up-front fee and near-term commercial milestones. Under the terms of the agreement, Amgen and GSK will share commercialization of denosumab for PMO in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. Additionally GSK will register and commercialize denosumab for all other indications in countries where Amgen does not currently have a commercial presence, including China, Brazil, India, and South Korea. Denosumab is also in Phase II rheumatoid arthritis trials.
The deal allows Amgen the option of an expanded role in commercialization in both Europe and certain emerging markets in the future. Amgen retains commercialization rights for PMO and oncology in the U.S. as well as Canada and for oncology in Europe and other specified markets. The company will receive ongoing royalties.
Two years ago Daiichi Sankyo paid $20 million up front for Japanese rights to denosumab in PMO and oncology with the potential to expand into other indications. The firm is not only responsible for development costs in Japan but also agreed to pay $150 million toward worldwide development.

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a provision from the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 that allows schools and local educational agencies (LEAs) with high poverty rates to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students. CEP eliminates the burden of collecting household applications to determine eligibility for school meals, relying instead on information from other means-tested programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
Eligibility and Participation in CEP
Community Eligibility Provision Resource Center
The CEP Resource Center provides extensive resources for parents, teachers, and school officials at the local, State, and Federal level to better understand CEP and its positive benefits, along with useful tools to help facilitate successful implementation of the provision in your school!

I would like to SpeakOut about Charleston. Twenty-five years ago, Charleston was in a better shape than it is right now. They could afford a mosquito truck to come down the roads. Now they've shut their mosquito truck down. We don't have a mosquito truck - we've got one. I guess it's just sitting there deteriorating but they sure aren't helping us any and they sure aren't helping Charleston, either.
I would like to SpeakOut about today's SpeakOut, "It is a bad law." Ninety-five percent of the people driving around with loud music are hardly drug dealers. Half of them are school kids. The law is bad because it should have a time limit on it. To say people are drug dealers just because they play loud music is a stereotype and that is just the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Most school kids have loud music, not to mention other people in town, and not everybody is a drug dealer. That is just ridiculous!
To the jerks who threw a cigarette at my friend and me, what did we do to you? We were just walking to a video store to get a movie. You need to learn to have some dignity and class, because evidently you don't.
I don't know why people think smoking is hazardous to your health. I think all kids of all ages should be allowed to buy cigarettes and tobacco and marijuana.
I graduated this year from Sikeston High School and am looking for a job. This is my first time calling SpeakOut and I hope you will print this. I am looking for a job and went to a particular company because I was told to "come back on Monday." I need a job, so I went back. The man told me, "I've already hired one black girl and there are four new jobs opening in this area. Maybe you can get a job in one of those places." Well, to this individual, God doesn't like ugly. When I do get a job, I will make sure it is at a place better than yours. I felt very hurt when this man said this. We don't need these kind of people in our society.
Give us a break. Charleston is comprised mostly of elderly on fixed incomes and people on welfare. We cannot make up the shortfall in revenue that the city one had. Sikeston residents get one bill (electric power, water, sewer and trash) and the monthly figure he quoted is about right, $52 for all.
We can't afford to go to war with every country that develops a bomb of every kind. There are people who are needy and hungry in our own country. This President is hung up on war. He needs to concentrate on this country and its problems. We have enough to keep him busy but it just isn't exciting enough for him. He is trying to push democracy down everyone's throat, and those who don't want it. Let them take care of their own problems. Nobody is helping us with ours.
I live on the west end and they are always griping about us not keeping our yards clean. On Dorothy Street, there are lots that belong to the city that are grown up. What does that tell you about the city that's caring? Just because we live on the west end doesn't mean that we need your help.
To the person looking for Sandra McGee, you can find her every afternoon on 92.9. She is a local disc jockey in Sikeston for the Zimmer Radio Group.

Tickets are on sale for $30.00, $50.00 and $65.00 and are available by calling Ticketmaster at 866-858-0008 or online here. There will also be a drawing for a new Fiat – tickets are $10.00 or 12 for $100.00. The winner does not need to be present, but will win an additional $500.00 if he or she is present.
